A.MERIC AN ^ rt>relgn
I take off my hat to the memory of
Caesar Gerard. Caesar was born in
Italy. He was brought to .\merica as
a child. He made his own way, work
ed all his life a.s a mechanic, never
married, saved his money, and when
he ditd at 57 in Newark, New Jersey,
he left a will in which he btHiuoathed
his life {savings of $15,600 to the Unit
ed States of .\merica bivause. as he
sakt TTT **this tTiuiTrrj^^vas
go(Ki to me.”
In an age when native-born .\meri-
“catis are running down iheir own
country and telling us that other na
tions are better than ouis, (’aesar
Gerard’s beiiuest is a notewoi-thy
event. America was gotxl to him ex
actly as it is good to any man who
works hard and saves his money. That
i.s not true of any other country in the
world.
I do not know what Uncle Sam will
do with the money his adopted neph
ew left him, but I suggest that it

' HE.WERS — Protection
I The beaver ha.s come back into
, .America’s i-conomic picture. In col
onial days and later the beaver was I
the principal souice of wealth for the
settlers in the North. New England’s
foreign trade in beaver skins was asi
important a source of revenue as Vir-J
ginia’.s tobacco.
I— -Mercilessly hunttnl, the beavers!
were almost exterminated. Farmers
killed tht m because their habit of
building dams acros.s streams convert-j
ed meadows into pon«l.s and swamps,
j But now the beavers have begun to
come back, prottHrUd by strict game
laws, and their dam-building ability
is being utilized for flood control and
the prevention of soil erosion.
One colotiy of beavers in Idaho built
seventeen dams la.st yt*ar, enabling
' stockmen to water their cattle through,
the dry sea.s<»n from the heaver ponds,
ami bringing gra.ss growth back to
what ha«l l>e«n ermltsl gullies. The de
partment of interior has taken the
Ixavers under its protecting wing and
is encouraging them to go on with
their engineering. Beavers may yet
reclaim a g<MNl {utit of the “dust
bowl."

rights of minorities, which is the old
-fashioned, standard (iefinition of po
litical liberalism. It has b«>cume the
fashion to call |K*ople “lories” who

JOBS — M’orking Tools
It coats one of the big oil companies
about $12,000 to provide the tools for
Aach employee to work with, accord-
iug to the annual report of the So-
cony-V'acuum company. Of course, by
“aools” is meant the entire physical
iplant. A pipe-line, a tank ship or a
fmtng station is ju.st as much a nec-
leswary tool, without which there
would he no work to do, as la a
monkey-wrench or a hammer.
' I have never been able to figure
out the .Socialist theory that, some-
I how, the world’s work can be done
I without capital. It can’t lie done with
out tools, and the tools required for
modern industry can only be provided
by assembling the savings Of a large
Inumber of people into pools of capital
■ large enough to buy the tools of pro-
jduction.
1 The same company also reports
ithat its last year’s taxes amounted to!
' more than $2,000 for every job, I>ower
i taxes mean more pay for every
I worker.
RELIEF — Overpay j
One phase of the whole work-relief j
program which I have never beenj
able to understand is why government
should pay W. P. A. workers higher
wages than private employers of the
same class of labor can afford to pay.
That is particularly true in the “white
collar" projects of W- P. A. More than
11,000 persons in New York have
been drawing $103.40 a month each,
for work Which would command not
over $75 a month if done for a pri
vate business.
I don’t know, of course, how far the
W. P. A. wage scale is out of line
with that of private business all over
the country, but I know that'in my
hotne town, it » increasingly difficult
to get man^lal labor done at jshat has ■
always been considered good wages,
because W. P. A pays so much more.
