PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION
•"PHK report of the President's Advisory Com
mittee on Education is a document of primary
importance to all citizens. For more than a year
this committee has been "studying the problems
of Federal relationships to state and local conduct
of education." A great change has come over this
country since our public school system was found
ed. At that time we were an agricultural nation
and our children looked to agriculture for a liveli
hood. Now our population is largely urban with
the youth of both farms and cities looking to in
dustries or urban occupations for employment
Responsibility for education of our youth is no
longer wholly a local responsibility.
Children in cities are to a large extent cut
off from practical education outside the school ami
often from close contact with their parents. Al
though millions of children continue to be born
and reared on the farm, many of them are destinec
to spend their working life in the city, for which
their farm training gives inadequate preparation
Noting people, both on-farms and in citics, arc alv
sorbed more and friore slowly into gainful em
ployment. Adults of all ages lind increasing need
for social, educational, and cultural facilities to
supplement working life under modern conditions
Under the circumstances it is not strange that
time and again our cultural services have had to
be expanded. The schools have adapted them
selves to changing needs as rapidly as any socia
institution, but they have not been able to come
abreast of their task. In recent years, however
it has become apparent that school enrollments
will not continue to increase indefinitely. Plannin
primarily for improvement rather than for ex
pansion will soon be possible.
As a nation we became definitely conscious of
the rapid growth and changes in our educationa
institutions when the great depression paralyzec
business institutions and threatened to curtai
public education, and we faced the issue of Fedora
finances for public schools. In the light of our
growing educational needs, this has continued to
be a live issue.
Our educational field in which Federal subsidies
have been made over a period of twenty years, is
vocational education where experience has result
ed in serious evils. The welfare of students ceaset
to be the major objective while teachers organ
ized for legislative control and permitted question
able agreements for the training in production
processes without real vocational education
Flagrant abuses of exploiting students for private
gain in addition to teacher pressure for great I.v
increased Federal appropriations resulted in a
committee appointed by the President of the
United States to inquire if and how the appro
priation should be expended. This commission
was later expanded to include the related problem
of federal subsidies to all education. As citizens
we are concerned in avoiding merely increasing
expenditures. We want results in the form of
preparatioirfor the duties of citizenship and foi
satisfaction and effectiveness in living for all of
people.
The committee found the best school system
in middle-sized cities and the least satisfactory in
rural areas. The latter areas were the victims ol
poverty while schools in urban communities have
the handicaps of size and invasion by corrupt po
litical practices. To 6vercome inequalities in edu
cational opportunities due to local low incomes, the
committee proposed the following federal subsidies
to be allocated on a basis of students to be served
Illative financial ability ot States, and a measui

For elementary and secondary schools $40

To facilitate reorganization of school districts
820,000,000 the first year and $30,000,000 in fol
owing years.
To improve the administration in state depart
ment of education $1,000,000 first two years and
152,000,000 thereafter.
For civic, general and vocational part-time
adult educational activities to be expended
irough schools, colleges and other educational
agencies, $5,000,000 increasing to $15,000,000.
For rural library services $2,000,000 rising to
$6,000,000.
To develop research facilities in the education
al field $1,250,000 increasing to $3,000,000.
This program is recommended for a six year
period to be followed by stock taking. All plans
should be tested by experience.
This program for federal subsidy accepts the
principle of providing for educational need wher
ever found: That is if citizens prefer to send their
children to parochial schools, their share in tax
proceeds shall be available to the schools they
choose.
The Committee also recommended that the
C. C. C. and N. Y. A. be made a permanent func
tion of government to be designated the National
Youth Service Administration and located in the
Office of Education, to continue the student aid
program for high and college students and for
the unemployed youth out of school.
Such a service would constitute a long step to
ward assuring equal educational opportunities for
uture citizens. However, the recommendation
that work-camps be placed on a civilian basis im
plies that administration be taken from the War
department. In view of the splendid work the
Army has done in providing discipline and the
exclusion of political patronage, it hardly seems
wise to transfer this function to an agency whose
traditions are highly political. A sounder pro
posal is for the N. Y. S. A. to serve as the coordin
ating agency with discipline through the appro
priate agency and education through the Office
of Education.
With regard to vocational education the re
ports recommended the elimination of statutory
regulations that interfere with local administra
tion and the consolidation in one fund of all fed
eral aid to vocational education under senior col
ege grade that provisions for plant training
should by law be conditioned on adequate pro
tection against industrial exploitation of students
that the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics provides
an occupational outlook service for vocational
pr'iidance that, educational programs and provis
ions be unified with long range planning and re
search.
The constructive report of this committee in
which Labor was represented must have our most
serious consideration preliminary to formulation
of policy.

(jIYPING RELIEF FUNDS
OCCASIONALLY
unemployed workers on re­
lief so far forget their patriotic duty as to
draw more relief than they are entitled to under
the law. Occasionally, also, persons who are en
titled to no relief whatever resort to fraudulent
methods to obtain relief payments. When these
gypers are apprehended most of the daily news
papers, controlled by the business interests who
refuse to employ the workers and thus create the
necessity for relief, resort to big headlines and
sensational articles emphasizing the allegedly dis
lonest practices of large numbers of the unem
ployed and call for a wholesale purge of the relief
rolls.
But when it conies to business men on the Fed
eral Government's business relief rolls deliberately
swiping hundreds of thousands of dollars of pub
lic funds, the delinquency is completely overlooked
or very decidedly soft pedaled. This sympathetic
consideration for business gypers of Government
funds was revealed recently when Jesse 11. Jones
chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora'
tion, announced that 26 per cent of the Corpora
tion's past industrial loans were in default. That
is so say that 26 per cent of the business men wh
have borrowed Government funds from the RFC
have not repaid those loans.
In vivid comparison to the feature stories
written about the unemployed having now anc
then defrauded the unemployment relief rolls, the
wholesale frauds perpetrated by these business
men in not repaying their loans to the Government
received but little news space in the daily papers
and less editorial comment.
It is probable that for every dollar illegally
taken by workers on relief thousands of dollars of
public money are swiped by business interests
who borrow government funds and refuse to make
repayment. But the business men control the
newspapers, and consequently silence is the
watchword regarding their peculations. On the
contrary, the same papers howl themselves
hoarse over the few pennies fraudulently t^ken
from relief funds by the unemployed.

OHIO CONSTRUCTION
N E W S
(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Extensive construction projects,
totalling several millions of dollars,
are reported contemplated at Cincin
nati and vicinity, with at least two
of the proposed building programs
having the active support of the Cin
cinnati Building Trades Council.
The Council last week endorsed the
Koch Plan for a municipal stadium,
convention hall, sports arena and a
municipal parking garage which
would consist of four city blocks in
the lower Cincinnati area with a to
tal of 612,262 square feet,, located
within five blocks of all Greater Cin
cinnati transportation lines.
A radio address by Congressman
Herbert S. Bigelow revealed that the
Council was sponsoring construction
of several hundred new homes ad
jacent to the Government's Greenhills
development. About 100 of the homes
would be "subsistence" homesteads,
with acreage for small-scale farming.
Fred Hock, business representative
of the Council, stated that plans for
the Greenhills development were not
far enough along to make public any
details.
The Council's endorsement of the
Koch Stadium Foundation is based on
the fact that it would provide employ
ment for several thousand skilled
workers give Cincinnati a unique and
worthwhile civic center, and make it
possible for Cincinnati contractors to
build the structures, using an immense
amount of building supplies secured
through local sources.
Government funds would be sought
in making the $7,500,000 proposal a
reality.
Other Cincinnati construction re
ported contemplated last week in
eluded a new National Guard Armory,
to house infantry, cavalry and naval
reserve units. Cost of construction is
estimated at $3,000,000, but the
project may not mature until next
year.
Government officials are negotiating
with Cincinnati officials for an ex
hange of building sites, on which the
Government would construct a new
public health laboratory at an esti
mated cost of $275,0CD.
Other large construction throughout
the state reported contemplated last
week totals $1,441,000, and includes:
A new high school to accommodate
,000 pupils, including 7th and 8th
grades, contemplated by the Toledo
Board of Education, at the request of
the Parent-Teachers Association. Site
for the proposed school, estimated to
cost $600,000, has not been selected.
A consolidated high school to ac
commodate pupils of four Richland
county (MansfipJ^dLfctcnvriships js
COn
tem plated by l/io LfJard of Education.
Cost of construction is estimated at
$200,000.
A community building at Martins
Ferry, to provide an auditorium and
space for the county library, is con
templated by city officials, who may
ask WPA aid in constructing the
$200,000 project.
Alterations and additions to the St.
Mairsville High School, to cost ap
proximately $200,000, is contemplated
by the Board of Education, with ma
turity dependent upon WPA approval
A new grade school and gymnasium
at Barnesville, Belmont county, to
cost approximately $1.'£6,000, is con
templated by the Board of Education
Alterations and additions to the
Presbyterian Church of Hamilton is
contemplated at an estimated cost of
$105,000.

MR. MODESTUS
COME THE TRACTORS
THE FARMERS' ARMY
ANOTHER CONQUEST
THE MACHINE!
Here come the tractors!
There go the armies of farmers'
sons—
Going to town, to work in tractor
factories—
Over 200,000 farm tractors in 10
cotton states in 1937—
Five times as many in U. S. as in
1920—
Seven times as many in cotton
states as 1920—
Each tractor displaces at least two
farm workers—
That makes 2 million farm families
set on the road—
Which means 10 million in all
shoved off the farms—
Hunting somewhere for corncakes
and sowbelly—
But the machine manufacturers
sang paeans of joy—
Saying: Machines make jobs for
men—
That must be why there are 15
million unemployed now!
If you want to know—
Why, when we had 76 million peo
ple in 1900—
There were 39 million of them on
farms, or 51.7 per cent—
While in 1930, of the 123 million,
total in 1930—
Only 44.6 million, or 36.4 per cent
were on farms—
Follow the trails made by the Farm
all tractors—
Without these behemoths, there
would have been 63.5 millions—
Still working on the farms, and
plantations—
That means a difference of about
20 million farm boys and girls—
Who went to town in those ten
years—
Still some folks wonder where un
employment comes from.
Some of them went to the factories
and mills—
Taking the places of the older men
and women—
Pinch-hitting for the cripples and
the diseased—
But in 1930 there were at least 400
thousand less in factories—
Than there were in 1920—
So the rest had to go somewhere—
Department stores and garages
took a lot—
For some months of the year
—Some of them opened gasoline sta
tions—
Others ran sandwich stands, and
auto camps—
In 1900 a tractor was something to
scare horses—
In 1930 tractors were changing the
face of civilization—
Reducing farm costs of production
So that hand labor could not com
pete—
Tearing up institutions as well as
prairies—
Putting the stamp of machine pro
duct ion—
On everything from potatoes to
pins—
Industrial war tanks, running
roughshod over precedents—
Enacting another non-military con
quest—
Where the winners took all—
In the 1929 depression.
These tractors stirred up the soil
for dustbowls—
They led the ^/ay to the massacres
of little pigs—
They forced the ploughing under of
growing cotton—
And herded the farmers' sons off to
town—
Juggernaut cars, heading process
ions of worship—
Where the Dollar was God, and the
banker His Prophet—
Their owners and makers riding
high in power—
While the mere human "hands and
hearts kowtowed—
Laying themselves down in the
path of Power—
Being for the time of less import
ance than—
The Machine!
IMPUDENT SUGGESTING
(From California Oil Worker,
Long Beach)
Lewis Gilbert, a minority stock
holder of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration, put Charlie Schwab on a hot
spot at the annual meeting held at
Wilmington, Delaware, recently. Mr
Gilbert fearlessly approached the
mighty steel master and suggested
that Mr. Schwab, who has amassed an
immense fortune and world-fame as
the first big executive to receive
salary of $l,c00,0()0 a year, serve with
out pay during the depression, Charlie
grew splutteringly indignant and
squelched all the dissenters.
Here is a new idea and it will doubt
less emharass many stuffed shirts in
the days to come. Some people who
like the idea of wage reductions hav
never before been told a good place to
start the slash would be on all sal
aries over $10,000 a year. Voluntar
action of that sort would indicate good
faith in the movement. Hundred
thousand dollar men fee! the pinch of
poverty if they are reduced a dime be
low that figure, if one may judge from
their actions.
"The busier a man is," says William
Feather, "the inure loafers he beems
to attract."
COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS
I
Economies in the use of coal, com
bined with increasing displacement of
mining labor by machinery, are cre
ating a problem of steadily grownng
seriousness for coal miners throughout
the world.
Light on the coal economy phase of
the problem is given in a report on
the world coal industry prepared by
the International Labor Office, Ge
neva. The report emphasizes that
since the end of the World War, fuel
economies have enabled the world's
industries to produce progressively
greater quantities of goods and ser
vices with a total coal consumption
almost unchanged.
The report analyzes statistics for
three of the most important countries
—the United States, Great Britain and
Japan—and points out that the an
alyses disclose "an unbroken move
ment throughout the post-war years
toward higher levels of fuel efficiency
in the consumption of coal." This
movement, it notes, continued from
1929 to 1936.
As regards the United States, the
report shows that from 190? to 1929
thermo-electric public utilities multi
plied their output of energy sixteen
fold, while only quadrupling their in
take of coal and that from 1917 to
1927, manufacturing industries in
creased production by one-fourth, but
decreased the consumption of energy
(mainly coal) by one-third.
The report also notes that from
1914 to 1929, railroads in the United
States tended to operate a larger
number of ton-miles with ever smaller
tonnages of locomotive fuel while
from 1904 to 1929, blast furnaces,
steel works and rolling mills were
steadily obtaining a larger sum of out
put with a lesser consumption of coal
and coke.
"In short", it says, "the average
fuel efficiency of industrial manufac
turing and railroad transportation had
risen between 1909 and 1929 by ap
proximately 33 per cent."
-K
As regards Great Britain, the re
port cites particularly the fuel econ
omies achieved in electricity and gas
undertakings, blast furnaces (iron and
steel) and railway transportation.
Between 1913 and 1930, it says, fuel
efficiency in blast furnaces in Great
Britain increased almost 20 per cent,
and during the last six years alone
more than 12 per cent and it cites
important economies in fuel con
sumption by steam railways.
As regards Japan, the report notes
considerable advancement in fuel
economies in recent years. It points
out, for example, that coal con
sumption at a steam-power plant was
reduced by one-third between 1914 and
1932 and that between 1920 and 1922,
consumption of fuel by railway loco
motives showed a saving of about 40
per cent. A similar saving in fuel
consumption in the steel industry also
is noted.

IIAILLROAD UNIONS SEEK
INVESTIGATION OF ICC
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—The
Railway Labor Executives' Associa
tion will demand that the investiga
tion of railroads now being conducted
by the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee shall be continued, and ex
tended to cover the ICC. The resolu
tion to make this demand passed the
meeting of the Association practically
without opposition.
George M. Harrison, chairman of
the Association, explained the demand
thus:
"We are of the opinion that the
commission has not properly dis
charged its function under the law
because much of the difficulties of the
railroads today are due to their un
sound and indefensible capital struc
tures.
"Since 1920, no railroad could issue
stocks or bonds without the approval
of the ICC. This was to protect the
public against the floating of worth
less securities.
"One third of the railroads are in
bankruptcy today, which shows that
the public was not protected."
At the same meeting, F. H. Fljozdal
president of the Brotherhood of Main
tenance of Way Employes, revealed
that his organization furnished most
of the 159,000 railroad workers who
earned less than $73 a month in 1937

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hatchet Out
The Truth
THE SALES TAX
PHILLY REVOLTS
EMERGENCY BLAMED
COMING IN BACK DOOR
The sales tax, it seems, is always
with us.
Pronounced dead many times, it is
in reality very much alive and flour
ishing in various guises.
A general national sales tax has
thus far been successfully opposed by
labor and other forces. But the sales
tax idea has sneaked in piecemeal by
back and side doors and annually takes
an enormous toll of money from the
masses.
Special sales taxes do the dirty
work.
These special sales taxes include
Federal taxes on lubricating oil, cig
arettes, theater tickets and other
things, all over the nation.
Aside from these, some 23 states
have sales taxes on many kinds of
products, including food and other
necessities in some states.
The gasoline tax is universal and
has been so long with us people take
it as a matter of course and never
think of it as a sales tax.
But a sales tax it is and how!
Then there are other taxes, mostljN
of the states species, punitive and
regulatory, and which add to the wage
earner's burden.
Such as the heavy tax on chain
stores, often frankly discriminatory
and regulatory, though with an alleged
social purpose.
Taxes of this kind, akin to the sales
tax, tend to increase the cost of liv
ing and hit employment, much of it
growing union employment.
Labor is beginning to look askance
it this kind of taxation, as a survey
by the Florida Federation of Labor is
revealing.
The survey is indicating that the
tax worm is beginning to turn.
Philadelphia is the scene of one of
the outright revolts against the sales
tax.
A general sales tax has recently
gone into effect there and the people
don't like it.
Before it became a law, there were
big popular demonstrations against it.
But the city council put it across.
Agitation against the tax is con
tinuing, with the Philadelphia Record
taking a leading part in the fight to
end it.
Other cities have the sales tax.
New York has had it for years, for
the benefit of the unemployed.
Imposed as an emergency measure,
the tax has lasted because the emer
gency has lasted.
"Eemergency" has been and still is,
the excuse for continuing a lot of un
popular things.
Looks as if the sales tax had cre
ated an "emergency" calling for labor
action.
Certainly if labor doesn't want the
sales tax, it had better bestir itself.
Because the sales tax is gaining,
make no mistake about it.
As said before, it is coming in by
the back and side doors, creeping in
whenever it sees a chance.
Something like the Federal judici
ary, which Thomas Jefferson said was
always on the march to take in more
territory, or words to that effect.
So the sales tax, going under differ
ent names, seeks to enlarge its power
and dominions and dig its hand deep
er and deeper into the pockets of the
people.

CITY EMPLOYES FORM COUNCIL
Columbus, O. (OLNS).—Formation
of a joint council of organized and
