DITORIAL
Ours is a country of farmers and
business men—but it is governed al-
most completely, so far as the nose-
count of the House and Senate in con-
cerned, by small time lawyers with-
out practice. No wonder we get
strange results.
EARTHLY POSSESSIONS
The depression is going to strip
many of all their earthly possessions,
but it will not rob any man of his
chiefest asset, his ability and his
knowledge. No depression can effect
this. Most of the men who have built
big enterprises, if they were deprived
of them by the depression would have
them back in a few years.
ALL HOPE THEY'RE CAUGHT
That the kidnapers and layers of the
Lindbergh baby may be caught and
punished is the hope of thousands of
people who have never seen either
the child or the Lindberghs but can
realize how they are suffering now.
The whole thing is another illustration
of the loathsome depths to which hu-
mans can descend.
TRADING AT HOME
The best town booster is the man
who trades at home. It doesn’t mat-
ter how much a man praises the town,
its schools, churches and streets, if he
sends his money out of town. A mil-
lion dollars worth of trade away from
home won't help the town as much as
one dollar spent with the local mer-
chants.
What works are under way that re-
quire labor and a wage roll should be
kept going. We can vacate some swivel
chairs, even adding to the number of
idle rich, but the men and women de-
pendent on a pay envelope, should be
kept on the job.
IF MONEY IS PUT TO WORK
MEN WILL HAVE JOBS
Money needs exercise. It gets slug-
gish with disuse. It is in danger of
if hidden in a
fire and theft even
supposedly safe place, it earns noth-
ing. The unfaithful trustee in the
parable of the talents was condemned
in harsh terms, and dismissed. He had
failed to utilize his opportunities to
best advantage.
When idle money goes to work, idle
men will go to work. When men are
busy, they spend the money they
earn; and each dollar turns over nine
times before it finds its way back to
the starting place—to turn some more.
That is better than a lazy dollar, do-
ing nothing and helping nobody.
Idle money is the secret of the pro-
longation of hard times. Release this
money, and soon all will be well
again.
What better project than to induce
money to come from its hiding place?
What better service can the possessor
of that money do than to forget his
fears and by his own action demon-
strate general prosperity?
ANOTHER TAX IN POSTAGE
The financial committee has ap-
proved the three cent first-class post-
age rate, thereby inflicting another af-
ter-war hardship upon the American
people, if Congress decides to approve
the measure. Both the Senate and
House committees have approved the
new rate, By the additional one cent
it is estimated that $134,000,000 of in-
creased revenue will be provided all
coming out of the pockets of the
American people, and a special hard-
ship at this time upon industry, which
of necessity must circularize the
country if it is to stay in business.
Here are some important figures.
Last year members of Congress mailed
free of charge under their franking
privilege 33,413,032 pieces of mail, and
it cost the post office department $727,-

should be limited to those not over ten years from the land. The city bred

But as Mr. Swain says those who have some idea of how to do it, would
be able to keep themselves and would cut down the number of jobseekers.
In some quarters there is opposition to this back to the land idea because
the land owners feel that it will cut down the number of buyers.
is only partly so because with so many out of work in the cities there is little
or no purchasing power, and that is one reason why farm produce is so low.
The need of the hour is not aid, except temporarily, to the unemployed, but
the need of of the hour is a revival of the pioneer spirit; the revival of the
spirit which will make people want to do something for themselves and do it.

who would pioneer, cannot get started and the wheels of finance should be

to these recreational areas has
brought greatly increased revenue
to stores, hotels, garages, and res-
taurants in the communities where
S’ate forest recreational areas are
located.
In a statement issued today Sec-
retary Lewis E. Staley said: “Tour-
ist trade is an industry rapidly as-
suming large proportions in Penn-
sylvania. Recreational areas with-
in the one and one-half million ac-
res of State forests have played an
important role in bringing improv-
ed business to the rural sections of
the State. There are 30,000,000
people living in the eastern United
States, and greater tourist trade in
Pennsylvania will result in greater
prosperity for Pennsylvanians.
“The scenic attractions of Penne
sylvania’s mountains, forests, and
streams are gaining wider popular-
ity each year as sources of outdoor
recreation. The two million visitors
to the State forest recreational
areas this year are expected to
bring an estimated revenue of from
four to five million dollars to local
business catering to tourist travel.”
A great increase has been notic-
ed by forestry officials in the num-
ber of non-resident visitors to State
forest recreational areas located
along main highway routes. Secre-
tary Staley pointed out that, as an
example, 200,000 people visited the
Cook Forest Park in Jefferson, Clar
ion, and Forest counties last year,
of whom more than 25 per cent.

that all of this mail matter had to be

ment were to charge for every piece

the postal department would be on a
prosperous basis and a great deal of
unnecessary mail matter would be
eliminated and costs proportionately
decreased.
Not a single piece of free matter
should be mailed out of Washington

hold each department accountable for
its postage expenditures, that is the
way to eliminate waste and a sure
way for reducing the cost of govern-

Farm livestock, including poultry,
in Pennsylvania represents a value
of approximately $150,000,000 and
the cash income from these ani-
mals aggregated $180,000,000 dur-
ing 1930. The work of the bureau of
animal industry in protecting this |
industry is costing about one-third
of one per cent of the total annua’
income from the industry. Deduct-
ing revenue coming from the en-
forcement of laws, the annual cost
of the bureau's work averages ap-
proximately $1.00 per farmer, and
it is important to note that much of
the revenue comes from sources
other than agriculture.
The bureau of statistics and in- |
formation has greatly expanded its
service with only a slight increase
in its pre-war State budget. A co-
operative agreement with the Fed-
eral government which eliminates
duplication in effort, has made this
possible.
“If one cares to compare the pre- |
sent expenditures of the department |
|
with those of a generation ago, hg
must also compare his present risks
from plant pests, transmissible an-
imal diseases, uncontrolled dogs and
unregulated middlemen, with corres-
ponding risks existing twenty to |
thirty years ago,” Secretary Mec- |
Sparran said. “San Jose scale, the |
foot and mouth disease, and the un- |
regulated oleo trust of days gone!
by have caused losses greater than
the expenses of the department for
a whole generation.”

All Children to be presented for

tion.
The Crippled Children Committee
relies on the interest and aid of the
physicians and members of civic and
service clubs to make this work a
real value to the physically handi-
capped. However, the purpose of
this work is to bring these oppor-
tunities to those who are financially
unable to secure them for them-
selves. The work is financed by the
Community Chest by your contribu-

limited, therefore, we request of
you to refer only such cases as you
feel are entitled to service rendered ;
