Be*! ports also indicate that never before thas there been so much high class ! live stock shown at one time. 5 thinks some new blood and some new issues must be injected if the party is to survive. This •brings Sen. Couzens of Michigan into the fray who takes a fling at Borah, although both have been, consistant supporters Borah thinks little of the Roosevelt New Deal while Couzens. plays the gallery for the Roosevelt applause, Couzens thinks Borah should have something more important to offer than reorganization of the Republi­ can party. But Borah is not driven to timber so easy for he has had his one man party fights before, and usually wins. He did present some­ thing new for Sen. Couzens and it sent the Michigan Senator into quit- tude. Borah says if he were to offer something new he would suggest taxa-' tion of all government tax-free bonds. As Couzens is said to be worth fifty million or more and is one of the larg­ est holders of U. S. bonds in the country, he has not even eherped or attempted a come-back on Borah; When Borah was hitting Couzens a- bout taxing government bonds he was also striking under the belt of one Franklin D, and his million dollar connections. Within the next few months Congress will no doubt he faced with the problem with the Child Labor amendment, now more or less invoked by the operation of NBA. Constructors o f the NRA refused to consider a former Supreme Court de­ cision that such legislation was unconstitutional. Now it is proposed to change the constitution. As for child labor the greatest offenders were industries in the south in connection with the cotton textile mills. It is singular that southern senators and congressmen, that have approved this class ot labor in the past, to attract industry from the New' England states, gave approval of the NRA act. What is child labor ? Where does the age limitation start ? Who can answer such questions? With one industry^ it un­ doubtedly might be lower than with another. ^Certainly no patriotic citizen gives approval of a ten year old* boy or girl operating a dangerous machine or working under conditions that would stunt growth or affect health. But there are no doubt places that boys and girls of fifteen could fill .during school vacation periods that would not .do them harm and would in hundreds of cases lend aid to aged or crippled parents., Heretofore most states have had laws that children of under age could not be employed without written consent from parents. In this country we have always recognized individual family rights. Or are we to adopt the Russian idea that chil­ dren belong to the government? To have boys and girls by the hundred thousand grow up to manhood and womanhood and not know how to work; to not have the childish desire in most children developed for self dependence, is certainly laying a cornerstone that will within but a few generations lower our standard of civilization. To have millions of young folks walking the. streets until they are of lawful age before they ,can get gainful .employ? ment is but feeding most of them to the wolves to be destroyed in crime, indolence, pauperism and vice of all kinds. Who can say that Lincoln lost his ehance because he labored in; his teens as a rail splitter; that Edison should have spent in idleness.his early youth rather than have that desire fulfilled at factory labor that developed his inventions as 1 e reached mature years; or that Henry Ford should not have been permitted to fit him­ self as a laborer in a factory as a youth that gave him experi­ ence that has since made him the greatest industrial executive the world has known. Even A1 Smith could not have been a fish peddler to support his mother if the proposed child labor amendment had been in force in his day. The laws of the land give each boy and girl the opportunr ity of a common and high school education but sucess on these courses cannot be depended upon without advanced education whether in law, medicine, or sciences. With opportunity of labor denied-even to high school students what provision would the social regimenters under government direction make for these young people from families that are not financially able to give their offspring a-college education? Who can deny that we are yet to have more Lincolns, EdisonS and Fords in the coming generations? Some of our greatest men in science, education and religion have come from the humblest of homes. The abolishment of child labor is merited but it must not be so radical that young folks of high school age cannot have their opportunity. The nation must be awake when we face this issue, otherwise the brain-trusters will close the doors for opportunity to the American youth, CONSERVATIVES HAVE VERY SHORT STAY One-of the things discussed today is whether the Roosevelt administration is to turn to the right or extreme left, where he and his administration have been drifting for months. Sudden change by the President within a week’s time on many im­ portant policies is proof the Executive is. not certain which way he is traveling or that he is under influence from radical sources. * Appeal has been made to American industry and all busi­ ness to get behind the administration but- most business exe­ cutives have been trained to followed charted courses that are not always of the “ cut and fit” order. After his inaugeration the President detailed James P. Warburg, as advisor on fiscal problems. His appointee' could not approve the administration policy and stepped out. Dean Acheson, under-secretary of the treasury, a well-known fiscal officer that knew government finance, was called next but after a few months suddenly resigned. Dr. 0 . M, Sprague, former advisor to the Bank of England, and Harvard Professor, found after six.months service that he fiould not risk his reputa­ tion longer, and resigned. Lewis W . Douglass had his part in the Roosevelt program but insisted on a balanced budget to escape inflation. With the government speeding millions more each day than income Douglass resigned perfectly. disgusted with the way government affairs were being handled. * ^ Certainly with such a record the President cannot hope to have much of a following in the business world. Using the words of the Executive, “We are on our way” into a mountain of debt that cannot be measured for generations to come yet the head of HOLC tells home owners to get ready to pay their loans or there will be foreclosure, something the government has not permitted financial institutions or individuals to do |0f violating the nra in his manu- under the moratorium, only in cases ignored by the government ifaeture of batteries for a farm light- agency. to the One feature in reference handing out, of honor# to winners leads us as a layman to believe there j^ 8 ® ordered the 1,200 available de- should be* a division in entries for il*cbed Ohio Militia to march to Ur- rhowing.

A new feature of the brain-trusters that is said to have made an impres­ sion at the White House is that we no longer need forty-eight seperate state governments. 1 State names should be used as counties are now known in the states. With state lines wiped out in favor of counties, what is now known as counties would be passe. We would not have forty- eight governors. Their piaces would be taken by one executive, the Presi­ dent of the United States. There would be no state legislatures but a commission for each- state to be ap­ pointed bj the President and legisla­ tion to be enacted by a Congress as now. It all reads like a fairy story and should sound, good to one who as­ pires to be not only President of the United States but also Dictator over the forty-eight counties. The Presi­ dent could veto congressional legisla­ tion but the Dictator, who would also be president, could veto the president and exercise his own laws.

Hugh Johnson, former guardian of the New Deal, daddy of the much repeated “ Chissler,” originator of “ dead cate” referring to those objecting to features of the NRA, is on the other side of the fence just now, Johnson having been kicked from his $15,000 a year throne under pressure of the brain-trusters with President Roosevelt, let loose a volley of “ dead cats” this week against NRA. He characterized the NRA thusly i “ The NRA is dead as dodo, which is not only dead but extinct. It’s deader than a doornail.” Johnson said what business increase there was now was due entirely to the season, and not the NRA. After reading the Johnson statement as carried by the Associated Press, we started ft search to find what the New Deal newspapers had to sity. They must have thrown the story in the alley with the “ dead cats.” W e could find no statement or comment. Johnson still professes admiration for President Roosevelt but if necessary be will wreck the whole NRA program to get a dozen or so of his enemies that form the so-called brain- trust, that ,are keeping the President misinformed. Johnson has no use for Wallace, Tugwell, Richbergh, Hopkins, Sister Perkins and a number of others.
