Welcome Criticism |
; By BRUCE CATTON :
“The core of the American tradition,” says Dr.
"~ Rexford G. Tugwell, “is to be found in a kind of
defiance to fate.”
: Dr. Tugwell, who is either a smart young man in
" @ big job or a fearful bogey-man with claws and
cloven feet, depending on your point of view, made
this remrak before the convention of the American
Society' of Newspaper Editors in Washington.
He Was trving to make clear that the administra
tion Welcomes criticism, and that any attempt at
regimentation of American life in defiance of theJ
will 6f the masses would be foredoomed to failure.
And in this remark there s a shrewd apprecia
tion of 'a fundamental part of the American charac
. ger—a part which both radicals and tories tend to
overlook.
“We will not do what we do not want to do, and
coercion cannot make us,” adds Dr. Tugwell. “We
can bé fooled, but not for long. We have a precious
inventiveness which gets us out of holes. We have
a gaving irreverance for authority.”
Here is an excellent point, for everybody concerned
to keep’ in mind. It makes these terrors of Com
munism, Fascism, and so on much less terrifying;
for ail*such schemes must, sooner Or later, run
their keels onto this hard rock of stubborn contrari
ness-“the fact that, in the long run, we will not do
what™we do not want to do, which is just another
way sos -saying that in the end the honest wish of
the ‘m‘ority will prevail.
It eminds one somehow of that old story of the
. Fourth 'of July celebration in a small midwestern
to hilf a century ago. The governor, a senator,
~ and g couplé of representatives were to address the
Lol s.-in a public park.
: Pr tt* soon they started making their way
~ through the crowd to the speakers’ stand, and some
flunkey -or other who was trying to clear a path ior
; then{ called cut, “Make way for the representatives
of tlge people.”
Ingtantly. someone in the crowd called back:
“Make way yourself, We ARE the people!” .
that’s what it all comes down to. The peo
ple’st representatives, down at Washington, may ad
van any kind of theory or nostrum they choose;
~ eventually, if their féllow citizens don’t like the
look& of it, they will hear that old cry—‘'‘Make way
yourselves. We are the people!”

A Yecent news cable from London asserts that the
newly organized British Fascist party is now be
lieved to h&w&’_( fully 500,000 ardent ana disciplined

INCREASED ESTATE TAX ¥
While the peopie of this country are con
stitutonally opposed to increased taxation,
it must be remembered that taxes are es
sential to carry on the government’s ex
penses that must be met. Under the new
revenue bill, just enacted by congress, the
increased estate tax will meet with the
least resistance of any of the tax increases.
. Under the existence law, the maximum
tax on an estate is 45 per cent; under the
new law, it will reach as high as 60 per
cent. A person who inherits a $500,000
estate now pays a tax of $42,500; under
the new law the tax would be $60,200. If
the inheritance amounts to a million dol
lars, the tax under the present law would
be $117,600 and under the new law, the
amount of taxes would be $170,000.
The increases will not become confisca
tory, but they will provide a healthy in
crease in revenues which are so badly‘
needed by the government, and at the same
time it will come from those best able to
pay.
LOUISIANA PETITIONERS
Senator Long and his colleague, Senator
Overton, seem to have trotble with the
folk back-home. Petitious have been. filed
with Congress calling for an investigation
of the political records of the two Louisi
ana senators and the irregularities that are
alleged to have occurred during the cam
paign and in their elections. These charges
are supported by many affidavits from
prominent citizens of that state. A thor
ough probe has been promised the petition
ers by the senate committee of which Sen
ator George, of Georgia, is the chairman.
While we are not informed as to the
merits of the charges against the Louisiana
senators, we are convinced that they will
receive a square deal in their trial before
the investigating committee. It is unfortu
nate for that state to have representatives
in congress who are so out of line with the
electorate. There may be good reasons.
other than political, but if the bottom of
the trouble arises from enmity of political
factions, the investigation should not be
gone into.
We hold no brief for Senator Long or his
colleagues, but the numerous outbreaks on
the part of tne people of that state give
color to a political situation born of preju
dice over the success with which Senator
Long has met during his spectacular and
pyrotechnic career in Louisiana politics.
FILLING STATION EMPLOYES
It is not often that we hesitate long
enough in this rapid age to pass a bouquet
of kind words of appreciation for those
with whom we come in contact in our daily
avocations. The filling station employe
is one of the most outstanding examples of
courtesy and affableness. When a motor
ist approaches, he is met with a kindly
greeting and with a volunteer wiping off
higs car, filling the reservoir with water
and pumping air in the tires and then, it
the motorist is in need of gasoline
and oil, he is ready to serve in that ca
pacty. A striking occurrence of this
particular line of business and the courtesy
that goes with it, was brought to the at
tention of the public by Dr. R. A. Milikan,
noted scientist, in a speech delivered at
Little Rock, Ark., a few days ago in which
he said: “Filling station employest have
improved the manners and the courtesy
and the consideration of the American
public more than all the colleges in the
country”.
Every word uttered by the distinguished
scientist will be endorsed by motorists
throughout the country. Few employes of
any line of business are more polite, help
ful and efficient than the employes of the
average filling station. It is not only a
habit, but a practice with them. They are
educated to such manners and it grows on
them until it becomes second nature. With
"nut realizing their manner, the practice
‘becomes a fixed policy and to be otherwise
‘would be in direct conflict to their make
iup and character. :
BRIGHT SPOTS ON THE BUSINESS
HORIZON
One of the most encouraging outlooks
for future prosperity is the remarkable
showing of increase in business by the
large department stores in the country.
During March, these stores showed a 44
per cent gain in sales throughout the na
tion, which should be taken as a substan
tial rise in the general level of prosperity.
The gain is coming hand in hand with
a rise in national income. Figures com
piled by the American Federation of Labor
show that the workery’ total income has
risen 41 per cent in the past year—from
$1,784,000,000 in March, 1933, to $2,520,-
000,000 in March, 1934.
From the foregoing figures, there is no
doubt of a near return to normalcy and a
restoration of business in all lines of com
merce and industry.
Locally, business ‘has showed a marked
increase during the past thirty days. The
large amount of money that is being turn
ed loose by the government, especially
‘'with the farmer, has enabled that class of
citizens to buy more and to pay cash for
their purchases. Instead of buying food
stuff, clothing and other necessities for
their families, stock and equipment, on
term payments, the farmer is using the
money received from the government to
pay as he goes.
There is a brighter day near and with
the harvesting of another crop, all lines
of business will have recovered from the
veriod of depression and an era of prosper
ity will be abroad in the land.
According to the aeronautics branch of
‘the Department of Commerce, civil air
craft engaged in miscellaneous flying op
erations flew 45,912 miles per-accident,
during the last half of 1933, and 377,200
miles per fatal accident.

A Little of Everything,

The life of a congressman is
strewn with everything but
roses. Unreasonable requests
from constituents are made
without rhyme or reason.
A great many of the requests
are of the impossible type, yet
‘the congressman is expected to
‘overcome all such difficulties and
)m(eet the demands of an unappre
ciative public. The life of a con
gressman is hard; he is beseiged
daily for this or that informa
tion, but the greatest of all trou
bles is to satisty his constituents
with patronage. Patronage is a
perplxeing problem that no con
gressman has ever been able to
solve. If one ‘applicant is ap
pointed to office, the dozen or
more candidates will feel that‘
wney were entitled to the placel
and the poor congressman is the
target for the disappointed for]
the remainder of their lives. |
- An item, appearing in the
Congressional Record, telling
of an occurrence that took
place with Congressman Brown
"is ‘going the rounds of the
press of the state.
* Congressman Byrns, of Tennes
see, is responsible for the publie
ity the incident has received. A
few days ago, he arose on the
floor of the house and asked per
mission to have read a telegram
addressed to Congressman Paul
Brown, from a constituent in Au
gusta, and the reply of the con
gressman. The permission was
granted and the following tele
grams were read and made a part
of the actions of congress for that
day:
“Mr. Byrns: Mr. Speaker, I hold
in my hand a very short telegram
to the gentleman from Georgia
(Mr. Brown). I think it would be
of exceeding interest to all the
members here, and I ask unani
mous consent that the telegram
may be read from the clerk's
desk, together with Mr. Brown's
reply.

Albany has been conducting
a traffic safety campaign which
has resulted in the passing of
a complete change in all traffic
ordinances formerly in force
in that city. |
In fact, traffic conditiong have
grown serious throughout the
country, not only in the towns
and cities, but on the highways.
So much so that the authorities
lhave been aroused to action and
drastic meacures are being adopt
ed for regulation and control of
the evil. Last week, the City
Commission of Albany, Ga., pass
ed the following ordinances:
“No right turns on red lights.
“No ‘thumbing’ for rides.
“Police authorized and empower
ed to test brakes on any motor
driven vehicld at any time.
“No ‘jay-walking.’
“Nowacking out of center park

“Speed limit of 25 miles an
hour, except for fire department,
police department, ambulances and
public utility repair vehicles
while actually engaged in emer

“Speed limit of 10 miles an

Karl Dane, who rose from an
automobile mechanic, to fame
and fortune, killed himself
recently because of the descent
from stardom to poverty and
obscurity.
Before the talkies came into
popularity, Dane was one of the
most popular actors in the silent
drama. Possibly his greatest suc
cess was in one of the leading
roles of “The Big Parade” which
gained for him a reputation that
appeared to be lasting, but with
the introduction of the “talkies,”
it is said that his voice was not
suited for parts with lines in the
spoken drama, consequently, his
services as an actor were no lon
ger in derpand. Trying in every
way to secure work, other than
as a performer, he failed and the
temptation to close an unsuccess-~
ful life was toc great to over
come. A sad ending of what
might have been a happy and con
tented life, had he remained in
his chosen field of an automobile
mechaniec. ‘

“Sing-Sing Special” on to Badminton
To Albert Einstein Via Paul Harrison
By PAUL HARRISON
NEW YORK—From Grand Cen
tral station there is a late-morn
ing local train which is called the
“Sing Sing Special’—the one that
carries criminals up the river to
the big prison.
The men, who are ngarly all
fyoung men, move awkardly
through the narrow railed passage
to the train platform because they
are shackled together — generally
by twos, or sometimes individual
ly to a guard. Most of, them give
a fleeting glance behjnd them, at
’tho crowds of people who are not
| shackled by steel, at the groups
of -arious who have halted to
’wat(-h them.
Sometimeg there is 4 newspaper
photographer standing t here
squinting impassively along his
camera. Frequently there are
women with white, strained faces;
'women who came to the station
looking their prettiest, or at least
their best, intending to wave and
smile encouragement.
But they neither wave nor smile
as the men are hustled through the
gate with its suggestively somber
iron grill-work. The women stand
silent and motionless, peering at
the receding figure of the man
acled men.
The “Black-Baggers”
In a few weeks, when the pris
oners have been dressed in to the
routine of the penitentiary, the
women who watched their depar
ture will themselves become fre
quent passengers on the “Sing
Sing Special.” Every - morning
there are 20 or 30 of them who go
to visit their husbands or sons or
sweethearts in the Big House.
They bake cookies, and buy fruit
and cigarets and magazines, and
pack them in little black bags.
These “black-baggers,” as they've
been called for years, always sit in
the last coach of the train. Many
of them, after years of traveling
together, have become fast friends.
I don't know why they all choose
the same type of luggage, unless
it is an accepted badge of their
sorority of sorrow.

Fast—and Exclusive
Next to polo and yachting, the
most socially-exclusive game is
probably badminton — but for no
reason except that relatively few
people seem to know about it. New
‘York has a badminton club more
than 50 years old, and there are a
couple of courts in one of the city’s
armories. Playea something like
tennis, but on a smaller court and
over a five-foot net, it ig exciting
to watch. Racquets are used, and
balls (called “birds’’) with tufts ot‘
‘tail-feathers In them.
Badminton originated in India |
and was introduced here in 1878.‘
Having been taken up socially, it
was played in garden-party cos
tumes for many years. Then, about
1900, a .tennis star named Lyle
Mahan appeared in his tennjs togs
and trimmed all the experts, who
were hampered by their chokers
and Prince Alberts. Since then
badminton has been played for the
fast and furioug game it is.

Great Minds at Work
To the growing anthology of an
acdote about Dr. Albert Einstein
comes another story. from the
theater. During intermission, a
fellow' sitting directly behind the
scientist saw him jot down on his
program what looked like a com
plicated mathematical equation and
then pass it to a companion, who
also looked like a professor. The
second man studied it a moment,
inserted a figure, and returned the
program to Dr. Einstein. By this
time the observer was unable to
control his curiosity; he leaned
forward and took a closer look.
Dr. Einstein and his friend were
playing tit-tat-toe.

a more difficult problem—that of
handling the cows!
Modern cows, it appears, have
become as mechanized as any
other industry. The bovines are
accustomed to reporting to stalls
‘at specified times during the day,
chewing lustily on a flock of syn
thetic hay, and being connected
with mechanical milkers whieh
have replaced manual labor.
} The problem was to locate
thirty “old-fashioned” cows, who
}would permit themselves not only
‘to be milked by hand but also toi
be milked in a field, instead of in
their stalls. Furthermore, the
cows had to be blessed with sense
of rhythm sufficient to permit
crooning human milkers to sing‘
at their jobs.
It took . Paramount’s propertyl
department, and Lew Gensler, who
wrote the songs for Lanny Ross, in
the picture, two weeks to rounds
up the herd.
“Girl Without a Room” ‘
Playing At Strand
Artists and models—Gay Paree]
—llilting songs—sparkling comedy
and tender romance,
. Such is Charles R. Rogers’
“Girl Without a Room” at the
Strand teday and tomorrow, with
Charles Farrell and Charlie Rug
gles, Marguerite Churchill, Gre
gory Ratoff, Walter Woolf and
Grace Bradley.
The picture is exceptionally
clever and presents some old fav
orites in new characterizations
and some new favorites in their
screen debuts.
Charles Farrell becomes the
comedian at times and does ex
ceptionally well. Charlie Ruggles
is just a bit more madcap than
usual in a part that suits him
perfectly.
Marguerite Churchil, remember
ed as an ingenue, blossoms forth
with a newly acquired sophistica
tion to enact the title role as ar
artists’ model.
Grace Bradley playing the Rus
sian vamp has her first important
screen role. She showed so much
promise in a tiny sequence of “Too
Much - Harmony” that she was
“discovered.” She is a rare find.
Walter Woolf, a recruit from
Broadway musicals, makes hig
debut in “Girl Without a Room”
and should receive flocks of fan
mail from the impressionable la
dies. And of course, Gregory Rat
iofl! is funny,
