J Friday, May 27, 1932 A PROPER MOVK The Anderson po?t of the American Legion has put itself on record as seeking to put a atop to w a terms the "so-called bonus racketeerink'," and has taken steps to Urge upon con g re as me n v w h a t eye r modifications of the law way be necensaiy, to brink' to an end the various abuses of government aid to veterans. j The Anderson legionnaires' move is one that should .be followed generally, and with vigorous determination, by veterans' organisations throughout the country. There are .numerous *.veterans who greatly need and deserve special assistance by the government, and their number may be expected to increase as the years pass. To care for these deserving cases adequately will require large sums from the federal puree. The country is able and willing to meet the need in all these worthy cases if assistance is confined to them. -But if the program is to be broadly abused with large distributions where they are not merited, it is obvious that the government itself might be forced to the verge of bankruptcy, ca*U y*t not provide adequate assistiYu-e in all reallyworthy cases. The people of the country, of course, would not pern?11 the total burden fori this purpose to g<> that far, anil the danger is that unless the program or aid is not carefully restricted to merritorlous cases,' public pressure will stop the program in a position where much aid is given to undeserving eases while many who are proper claimants will be forced to do withFor the sake of those veterans who actually need and Reserve all the assistance the government can give them, the veterans' organizations should take vigorous initiative to prevent the exploitation of the treasury in behalf of those who have no proper claim upon special government assistance.?<Jreenville News. Need More lake Our Stevenson When a representative in Congress appears before a committee in charge of a bill that is sure of enactment nnd voluntarily informs his colleagues that it contains an appropriation for his district that is about twice the size needed?that's news. That very thing happened a few days ago. , The representative was W. K. Stevenson of the fifth district, and the appropriation was for the Kings Moun-j tain Battleground National Park. For j that specific purpose the committee having authority had voted $22f..OOO. Congressman Stevenson, in appealing before the committee, i> quoted a> saving: "I have come here'to point out that there is $22.r>.00l> authorized for that purpose, (the battleground park) and I frankly say that we shall not-need j that much." He asserted that $1?>0, 000 would be sufficient. If there was over a time in the history of the United Stales when more congressmen of the type of Stevenson are needed in Washington, and fewer of the Oliver Twist kind, as well as those who look out for "us four and no more." it is the present.?Spartanburg Journal. . _ Morbid Curiosity 11 i- a bit nauseating to read of the brazen, morbid and unnecessary curiosity that is being displayed by tiie th ongs of people rushing to >ee tht spot where the Lindbergh baby NVa. f, >md.

Ion .> Loan Associations Holding Up Well John Clarkton, of Newberry, delivered a mont appropriate address to the members of the 'South Carolina Building and I/oan League at its busine?t? session Wednesday morning on ['The Stabilizing Influence ocf Well Operated Building and Loan Associations in the Community and State." He brought out facts showing that the associations had weathered the dep reSsion and so many favorable j comments were heard that we arc reproducing his address in full; j "The building and loan associations of the United States are probably now in the most advantageous position that they have been in for the past several years. "A computation just completed in the United, States building and loan league, undo* the" direction of its secretary-treasurer, H. F. Cellarius, shows that up to the beginning of 1032 the savings, building and loan associations of America have^ paid out,' during .their his.tory, dividends of about $500,000,000. "The percentage of safety of 12,000,000 people's investments in the associations was 00.05 per cent in 10X1. "Any financial institution that has weathered the storm of depreciation, the wave of unemployment and the general decline in values such as the building and ban associations hiivc done, certainly has a selling point that no other financial institution is able to claim. "Not only because the providing of homes is one of man's most essential needs, but because of America's nine billion dollar investment in savings, building and loan, according to statistics, is as safe and sound as it ever was. Therefore, this group of institutions is now accepted as one of the bed-rocks upon which future prosperity will be built. "Therefore, we have worked ourselves up to the position where we hold the undivided confidence of the American people, and now that we are in this position, we must fultiill the predictions and the responsibilities that are ours. We are confronted today not by a period of depression, but by the greatest opportunity to serve and to help stableize general conditions, that has ever confronted any financial institution. "It is true that a great many of our investors, in fact, all of our investors, have had to re-arrange their budgets and their schedules of savings from time to time, but any lessons in thrift taught today, will reap more than one hundred fold in the future. The public should be more receptive today toward a plan of saving than they have ever been,? "After a careful study of the period of prosperity and -the period' of depression, we find that it was 'easier for a man to spend more than his income during the period of prosperity, than it was to save. Now thpt a great deal of the credit has been cut out, a person necessarily is forced to live within his income, and the value of having laid aside a few dollars is more apparent. In other words, we have everything in our favor now in trying to convince people that it is absolutely necessary for their own protection to invest a portion of their income to be used at some future date. "Our challenge in this period of depression, is that we instill in the people of our communities the value I of thrift. In so doing, \ve will not only serve as a stableizing influence in these times, but we will insure against a future period of depression. If the working man saves a portion of his wages, this will, of course, insure against need in a period of unemployment. This will not only have a stableizing effect at present, but the psychological effect will create e feeling of satisfaction and contentment."
