If we would make the statement
that in order to re*tore this nation to
a normal state, then factories must
open, and workmen given salaries fa-
s’bovq that which they are now le-
ceiving,-you might say we were in the
employ of some labor organization.

Certainly we lack many billions of
dollars IN CIRCULATION to place
the nation on a sound economic basis,
for it must be said that at present there
is very little circulation, more espec-
ially in the smaller communities, and
certainly paying men SI.25 per day
will only have the effect of keeping
actual hunger away. Men who would
advance the whole economic structure,
including the baker, the butcher, the
clothing man, the shoe man, the lum-
ber man, the hardware man, and every
other sort of business man, cannot in-
vest one thin dinic with these, other
than the groceryman, and ifthissort
and teachers followed with 20 per cent
cuts when accepting positions with the
city schools there for the 1933-34 term
last week.

for unemployment in Texas to cease

shows a disposition to join the Federal

It now develops that those who will
in the future receive benefits from the
Federal government through the un-
employment relief fund, must plant
and cultivate garden tracts, and in ad-
dition, each community that receives
this fund, must have what is termed
a community garden, where vegetables
will be raised and provided for those
who are less fortunate, and are not
given positions with these forces on
public works. Taking it front first ob-
servation, one would necessarily feel
tli«t many breakers are still ahead of
us. This sounds like Soveit Russia!

With merchants, other than chain
grocery organizations, practically do-
ing no business at all, and more than
12,000,000 men out of employment ov-

ly speaking, only receiving enough to
aleviate actual hunger, just how can
any reasonable man feel that the
country is out of depression’s grip?
Money circulation is absolutely clog-
ged, and there is no more show of
increasing the circulation by $1.50 per
day wage scales than it is for a news-

A grave danger in hard times is
that those who are compelled to ac-
cept help from others because they
can’t find work to support themselves,
may soon get the habit and demand
that they have a right to be taken
care of. One’s own self respect is a
mighty important thing to hold on to,
and charity should be given in such
a way that this priceless attribute
shall not he jeopardized.—Fredericks-
