Truths Pondered While
Riding at
Anchor
"Then gently scan
vour brother man"
-By Mr. Modestus
You remember the story of the
monkey and the two cats?
The cats found a piece of cheese
and fought about dividing it.
They took it to the monkey, who
agreed to arbitrate.
He broke the cheese in two pieces
but they were not equal.
So he bit a piece off the larger
portion.
That left the other part the larger
and he took a bite from that.
The monkey enjoyed biting the
cheese.
What was left when he was through
That was "for the cats"!
That is the way the government is
"balancing the budget"!
There are two parts to a budget:
what comes in, and what goes out.
What comes in depends upon the
size and prosperity of the country.
If the country's business is on a
going basis—taxes can be collected.
When it isn't-—they can't.
Now: you can measure the "going
basis" of the country by its payrolls.
Payrolls are not paid out by banks.
They are disbursed by employers.
Paying railroad mortgages does not
increase payrolls.
In the Missouri Pacific railway case
it was followed by bankruptcy.
The Big Banks have a program for
balancing the budget.
First—they wanted payrolls cut.
Then, they wanted taxes cut—espe
cially, income taxes.
Cutting payrolls cut the going bus
iness.
That left the taxes out of propor
tion.
A biteoofc of flue taxes ought to
help that.
The way to de that was, to cut
wages some mora.

That's the way the monkey did with
the cheese!
The classical way to balance bud
gets is always to cut what goes out.
The banking gentry are strong on
"economy."
If they cannot make profit out of
a man—they know but one answer:
"Starve him!"
Take him off the payroll.
Grab what purchasing power he
has.
Remove all other possibilities of him
using his producing power.
Turn him out, like an old horse, on
the highway.
Then, if he gets to be a nuisance—
Call out the militia!
This has become an obsession—
This idea' that saving the banks is
saving the country.
Now, let's see: what was it the
banks used to do?
The banks took the depositors
money into the bank.
&
They multiplied it into credit—wat
ered it, ten to one.
Then they loaned these credits to
the men who wrote out pay checks.
And the country's business was
done on that amount of—credits.
But, nowadays, the banks refuse to
permit the multiplication.
All right!
Suppose now::
Let the government multiply its gold
into credits—ten to one.
Issues these credits to employers
who write pay-checks.
Demand that for the credits every
check shall be for 30 hours a week
work.
Demand that every man who can
be employed be issued an employer's
job certificatee.
That will give the map credit of
another kind at the corner store.
That credit will stretch right back
through the wholesaler to the fac
tory.
Do you think the purchasing power
would pull things out of the shops?
Would it add to the "going busi
ness"?
Hope is the great reformer we
must instill this into men's minds if
we wish to cultivate their virtues or
enable them to overcome their vices.

Hell With Trouble Mak

Chicago, 111.—"To hell with trouble
makers!"
This is what Charles G. Dawes, ex
general, ex-vice president, ex-ambas
sador to the court of St. James, ex
chairman of the Reconstruction Fi
nance Corporation, from which he
borrowed nearly $100,000,000 to save
his bank from blowing up last sum
mer, told a delegation of teachers
who invaded his sanctum sanctorum
to plead that his hardly salvaged City
National Bank and Trust Company
buy Board of Education tax antici
pation warrants to help pay them
back salary amounting to $39,000,000.
It seems as though the doughty
"Hell 'n M'ria" might at least have
whacked up a part of thet federal
"dole" he got with the needy teach
ers. But no, he consigns them to the
glistering abode of his satanic majes
ty the Devil, and slams the door in
their faces, closing his bank for an
hour and a half in the busy part
of the day.
Two other of the five big "loop"
banks, the Harris Trust Company and
the Northern Trust Company, closed
their doors temporarily when 5,000

school teachers invaded the financial
district seeking assistance, and police
were stationed at the doors of others
to maintain order. The police, whose
pay also is in arrears, made little
effort, however, to make the teachers
move on.
About 200 teachers passed the
guards at Melvin A. Traylor's First
National Bank by showing pass books,
and once inside pinned ''.unpaid teach
ers" badges on their coats and called
for the "boss."
Mr. Traylor sent down word from

INDICT
Contractors For Eight-Hour
Law Violation
Railwayman Have Thrills
and Many Narrow Escapes
Rallwaymen have their share of
thrills. Sometimes only a second
stands between disaster and prevent
ing an accident. Some time ago on a
railway line not far from Leeds a
heavy traction engine stopped In the
center of a level crossing. The sig
nals were off for a fast freight ex
press, and three men, the driver, and
two rail trackmen, had a frantic and
terrifying minute and a half before
the reluctant road roller could be
coaxed clear of the metals. Had the
express hit such a solid mass disaster
would certainly have occurred.
On another occasion, when a train
struck a motor vanload of films near
Harrogate, the train rushed on car
rying with it several miles of cellu
loid ribbons which caught alight from
the bursting of the petrol tank of the
van. In a few seconds sheets of flame
shot up all around the startled pas
sengers in the train, but the express
was brought safely to a stop and the
fires extinguished without loss of life.
Another thrill which occurs In the
railway world happens at times In
the handling of high explosives, and
the transport of Inflammable materials
such as petrol and spirits.—Montreal
Herald.
Says Pneumonia May Be
Called Friend of Aged
Certain acute or subacute inflamma
tions In the lungs are called pneu
monia, says Ohio Health News. This
Is a general term and does not mean
a specific disease. It may be caused
by any one of a number of germs
which gain entrance into the lung and
find conditions suitable for growth.
It Is a frequent complication of
measles, Influenza, whooping cough,
typhoid fever and other infections and
often closes the scene in chronic heart
diseases, pulmonary tuberculosis,
brlght's disease and diabetes. There
is a marked Incidence at both ex
tremes of life In children under llx
years of age and, quoting Osier:
"Pneumonia may well be called the
friend of the aged. Taken off by It in
an acute, short, not often painful 111-
I ness, the old escape those cold grada-
tl
tlons of decay that make the last stage
of all so distressing.'*
Cashew Nuta Grow on Trees
So-called cashew nuts grow on a
large evergreen tree native to tropical
America and naturalized In nearly all
warm countries. Many people suppose
they grow in the ground because, In
general size aud shape, they resemble
peanuts. The cashew nut was practi
cally unknown in the United States a
few years ago. In reality It Is not a
nut at all. It Is the kidney-shaped
seed attached outside to the lower end
of the cashew apple, which Is the
pear-shaped, fleshy, edible fruit borne
In clusters on the cashew tree. The
nut Is edible only after the caustic oil
known as cardol has been expelled
from the shell by roasting. Cashew is
pronounced ka-shoo, with the second
syllable accented.
Proof That Fish Sleep
The fact that your goldfish do not
close their eyes is no proof that they
never sleep. The reason of this Is
that they have no eyelids—hence their
eyes are permanently open. But ex
perlments made In the aquarium at
the London zoo proves that fish sleep
some rest on the bottom of their tanks
others are suspended mid-water, while
others still lie quite close to the sur
face. Just as in the case of human
beings, hunger will keep fish awake
Thus we hear of successful angling
feats after dark.—Answers.
Deportation Provision
Under construction of the Immlgra
tlon statutes an alien who entered this
country prior to July 1, 1924, cannot
be deported If he has resided contlnu
ously In this country for five years
unless during that time he has been
twice convicted of a crime Involving
moral turpitude, for which he was
sentenced to a term of more than
year. If the wife can prove legal en
try she can become naturalized. No
alien who entered the country Illegally
on or after June 3, 1921, can become
naturalized In the United States.
A* She Is Spoke
The English Alpine visitor was met
In the lounge of the hotel by a French
man.
"Ah," exclaimed the latter, "I've
heard about you. You climbed the
Matterhorn. That 1« a foot to be
proud of."
The Englishman laughed.
"Pardon me, sir," he said, "you mean
'feat,' do you not?"
"Ah," said the French man, greatly
excited, "so you climbed it more than
once, eh?"—London Answers.
Turret Spicier Never Hunt*
The turret spider never hunts for
prey. Instead it waits at the top of
its burrow for the creatures upon
which It feeds to come within reach
though this may mean It must go with
out food for weeks or even months at
a time. When it does capture a vic
tim, however, it feeds voraciously.
Solemn Occasions
Certain annual Roman feast days were
referred to as "Solemnls" (occurring
annually). Because these feasts became
occasions for serious reflection the
word "solemnls" came to mean some
thing which was grave and serious
rather than something which occurred
annually.

NO DICTATOR"
Apply, British Labor's
Warning
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)—Cable
dispatches from London recently told'
of a statement issued by British
labor attapking the Hitler regime and
declaring it aimed to destroy the
e a n a o o v e e n e e o
the statement, just received here,
hows that British labor has served',
notice that it will oppose to the ut-„
most any attempt to establish a Fas- A
cist government in Great Britain.
The statement calls upon British
workers to rally against Fascism at
the great May Day demonstration to
be held in London on May 7 and
paints a picture of what might hap
pen in Great Britain under a Fascist
dictatorship. The statement, issued
by the Trades Union Congress gen
eral council, follows in part:
"Imagine what life would be like if
there were a Fascist revolution in
Great Britain.
"Picture the workers under mob
law instituted by gangs of black
shirted or brownshirted bullies, with
taste for beating up defenseless
people—not excluding women and
children.
Labor Would Be Crushed
'Imagine the ruthless slashing of
wages, the cutting off of employment
insurance benefits, pensions and all
forms of social services, the suppres
sion of trade union and socialist activ
ity, the imprisonment and ill-treat
ment of trade unionists and social
ists, both leaders and rank and file,
"This is what has happened in Ger
many. Don't think that the Jewish
boycott, of which you hear so much
in the capitalist press, is the whole
of the story. Far from it.
"What is going on is a delib
erate attempt to suppress, by all
these forces of reaction of which
the Nazis form the spearhead,
every form of working class ac
tivity.
'Back to slavery for the workers!'
is the unwritten and unspoken slogan
of Hitler and his associates.
"There are plenty of people who
would like to see a dictator of the
v
Hitler type—with a great mailed fist
and a huge wooden head—in this
country.
"Give these plotters a warning
they will have to heed.
"Join up with your trade union
branch, your local labor party, or
your 'co-op' for the Hyde park march
and demonstration on Sunday, May 7.
"The idea is to let the enemies of
the workers know that the trade union
and labor movement is tired of their
tricks, and is determined to do every
thing necessary to sweep away the
obstructions they are putting in the
path of industrial, economic, and so
cial progress.
"The more of us together, the more
miserable the anti-working class pro
Fascists will ho."
SCHOOL BOOK
Publisher Locks Out Union
Typos
Philadelphia, Pa. (ILNS)—Forget
ing that it depends upon public sup
port for its patronage, the John C.
Winston Company, of Philadelphia,
has locked out its union employes in
the composing room.
Publisher of public school text
books, which in several states can be
used only if produced either under
qnlon conditions or where at least
the prevailing rates of wages are
paid, this concern decided to risk loss
of business in its arbitrary action to
slash the accepted standards of em
plyoment.
Negotiations had been conducted by
the employers of union labor and rep
resentatives of the union, whereby a
proposed reduction of 1xk per cent in
the wage rate was accepted by the
union. From the first the Winston
Company declined to enter into the
general negotiations, and arbitrarily
fix the rate at which it would permit
the men to work. All efforts of the
union to have the company abide by
the result among all other employers
were in vain. Finally the company
locked out its men because they could
not give it special consideration,
which would be unfair to the other
employers.
Members of organized labor having
influence with public school boards
wil lespecially urge the boards and
everyone interested in fair treatment
to write the John C. Winston Com
pany, Philadelphia, to re-employ the
union men at the established rate, if
the company wishes to merit the sup
port of the public for its product.
