Entered in the Post Office in Nome as Second Class matter. ON OUR WAY. (From the Cincinnati Enquirer.) To use the President’s own phrase, we are “on our way to a scheme of social security—the somewhat nebulous end which has taken the place of that even less coherent concept of “social justice’’ in so many minds. Mr. Roosevelt s mes sage to Congress on the subject is perhaps the most import ant document he will address to the Legislature at this ses sion. It should not be approved or condemned in its entir ety, but should be studied, analyzed, dissected, and then measured against the practical limitations that hamper the program. The program involves old age pensions, unemployment insurance, care of crippled children, aid to dependent child ren, aid to child welfare services, provision for maternal and child health, and a more general buttress to State public health programs. The detailed recommendations of the Chief Executive concerning each of these broad objectives can be scrutinized later. At present it is worth while to see the President's program in fair perspective. There are many who sincere ly believe that all these matters are outside the proper sphere of central government. There are. strangely enough others who believe with the notorious Mr. Townsend, that the Federal Government should pay a pension of $200 a month to every citizen over 65. In that opium Utopia the needy aged would spend enough money to keep all the rest of us busy and prosperous. The President stands on middle ground. He has had competent advice on this problem. His own outlook is that of a practical humanitarian—not a Tory, not an idealist, not a proletarian. He has not proposed a dole, nor has he over looked the vital importance of a decentralized administra tion through the 48 States. It is probable that his program is far too ambitious, in the light of the strain which would be imposed on industry in a period of recovery. The social security program has not been submitted to Congress with the injunction to take it or leave it. Rather, it reaches the Congress as the reason judgment of a group of experts as to how the broad objective may be attained. It is for the Congress to assume complete responsibility, to go over the entire project with a fine-tooth comb, to estimate the practicality of every feature, and. if it passes any of the program, to enact into law only those things which seem safely within our reach at present.

Tuesday, the House passed the bill for the relief of John E.

A bill granting leave of absence to settlers on homestead lands dur ing the present year, has been fav orably recommended by the Secre tary of the Interior, and Tuesday the bill was favorably reported by the Senate Committee on Public Lands. The bill is of particular in terest and value to many homestead ers in Alaska, as it provides that any homestead settler who. during the year 1935, should find it neces sary. because of economic conditions ■ leave his homestead to seek em pl \vment :n order to obtain the nec essities of life for himself or family or to provide for the education of h - children may upon filing with the register of the district, his affi da\ it. supported by corroborating affidavits of two dis.rvterested persons showing the necessity of such ab sence, be excused from compliance with the requirements of the home stead laws as to residence, cultiva tion. improvements, expenditure, or payment of purchase money, as the case may be, during all or any part of the calendar year 1935, and said entries shall not be open to contest or protest because of failure to com ply with such requirements during such absence: except that the time of such absence shall not be deduct ed from the actual residence re quired by law. but a period equal to such absence shall be added to the statutory life of the entry.
