=BY BRUCE CATTON "™ o
u owe $385. 1
ou don’'t? Oh, yes, you do! |
hat's your share of the $48,000,000,000 debt of |
thd federal, state, and local governments of the
country.
u may thnk you're square with the world and
owé no man anything, but you're not-—so long as‘
these debts continue to mount. It's a claim against i
evegything you cwn or ever hope to own.
e federal government debt is now about $28,-
000%00,000 (it will soon be $34,000,000,000) and local
governments owe some © $20,000,000,000. Nobody eise
is @ver going to pay it but you.
t it isn’t €o bhad. If you were a Britisher, you’dl
owd $991 in the same way. If the World war ha.d‘
gorse another year; you'd probably owe more than
youy do now,
'l}‘easury figures reducing these debts to terms of
the'mdividual citizen are fortunate bescause they
brigg home a thing that people are apt to forget
about public debts. !
ally, there isn’t any such . thing as a public
debt. A public debt is simply a collective debt of
all of us, and as long as it exists, no man is deht-:
free. n
you own a home? It isn't debt-free, even!
gh you've paid for it in full. Have you money]
in the bank? It isn't solely' yours—the public treas
ury has a potential claim for $385 against It,
‘lib you draw. wages- or a salary? It isn't all yours
for certain until these public debts are paid. l
m&wrt of, i_nexhaustihlc fountain pouring out
Weee too apt to think of ihe public treasury as
gol@ from a mysterious source. There's nothing
mysterious about it. It all comes-out of your |
P et and the pockets of your neighbors.
And that's true quite regardless of what kind of
taxes sis -useld to raise the money. Income taxes,
tari! levies, production taxes, sales taxes, gas
texes, ‘pigaret. taxes, amusement taxes, liquor ta.xesl
—+the #ll come from one source in the long run, the
only s e there is—the pockets of the people who
work to produce either goods or services.
- E:fiatd.h: ngt saying the' money shouldn’t he
yeht. *The best authorities agree that the country
_(‘oll}pct@eiy’ can carry a far heavier debt than we
are, now carrying. Probably it must.
~ But ®very mian, woman and child has a direct in
te: fn seeing that the money is well spent and
t . get something of permanent value for the
moßeyy .
.. Dhat is one of -the principal thoughts behind
the president’s plan to spend it for productive work
rather ;than just dishing it out. It's not how much
you spend—it's what you get for your money.
the mext time you hear of a billion-dollar ap
propriation, think to yourself, “That's $8 out of my
troysers pocket. Is it worth it?” .

e outside world that bit of news may not

lin'd new film actually 'is Inoving along toward

,\fitl‘g the picture alredy half completed, Chaplin
expects to film the la§t geene some time in April
making his total shooting schedule about seven

MODERN CRIME LEGISLATION
The people of this nation appear to have
awakened to the actual crime conditions
that are prevalent in all sections., In fact,
‘the growth of crime during the past de
cade has reached an alarming stage and
has caused a demoralization of law en
forcement and court procedure. The fed
eral government, led by Attorney General
Cummings, is most active in the work of
crime suppression. The recent conference,
called by Attorney General Cummings in
Washington, has had a salutary effect on
the criminal element and the members of
the underworld organizations. Not only
is this organization functioning, but the
American Bar Assoeiation is committed to
a program of anti-crime that is having a
good effect for the improvement of the
enforcement of the laws and especially as
relates to court procedure. This bar as
sociation through President Loftin is mak
ing a most active campaign throughout the
nation and he is speaking to state and lo
cal bar associations urging their interest
and support of the movement.
In an address delivered by President
Loftin before the members of the General
Assembly of Georgia, he said, in part:
“More persons have been murdered in
this country during the last 10 years than
were killed in action in all the country’s
major wars during the 157 years of our
nation’s existence.
“There were 112,721 persons killed in
action in the six major wars in which this
country has been engaged. There has been
120,000 people murdered in the United
States in the last decade.”
The foregoing figures, while startling,
are aboslutely true. Murders and kidnap
ings have grown to be common occurrences
and apparently passed over by the law en-‘
forcement officers and the courts without
serious consideration or effort to improve‘
the condition. Impressing upon the legis
lators the importance of enacting laws |
that will be adhered to the principle of !
clarifying the flaws in the present laws, |
Mr. Loftin, said: “We are trying to com- |
hat eight-cylinder crime with horse-and-|
bnggy legislation and law enforcement”.‘
All of which is true. There has been so
much bickering with the courts by lawyersi
representing monied clients until the peo-|
ple have, in a great measure, lost respect |
for the courts and the law. |
With lawlessness and crime of all kindsj
over-running the nation, the time has ar-’
rived when the law abiding element must
assert their rights of good citizenship and
see to it that the officers and the courts
perform their duties and shoulder the bur
den of the responsibility of protecting so
ciet,\; from the ravages of the criminal ele
ment,
COMMUNISM WILL BE ESTOPPED
A bill has been introduced in the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia prohibiting sup
porters of Communistic doctrines to enter
candidates in elections for the various|
state offices. This bill is a splendid meas—l
ure, but it should go further. There is no
place in Georgia for these representativesl
of the Moscow government. KExpressions!
of Communistic beliefs and policies or,
seditious utterances should constitute a |
felony in the eyes of the law, and for such |
guilt, severe penalties should be imposed.'
Our people have been entirely too leni
ent with this class of people. In practical-|
ly all communities of the state. there is an
element representing this character of cit
izens. They have been allowed to do as
they please and now they have grown
brazen and fearless. In public and in pri- |
vate, these emisaries of the Moscow organ- |
ization, disseminate litertaure and orally
lteach the doctrines of this form of govern-{
ment with the hope and expectation of
arousing a sentiment calculated to stir up|
strife and ill feeling among the citizensl
of this country. ‘
This condition was developed bv Solici
|tor Boykin, of the Fulton county Superior |
| Courts. Through investigations, it was!
| found that the City of Atlanta was, in
some sections, thickly settled by these rep-‘
resentatives of Communistic teachings.
{ Much of it has been broken up and a num- |
ber of these recruits to the Communisticl
|organizations has been tried and convict-"
ed. No doubt, there are Communist in this‘
icity, sailing under the guise of a member
ship in some order or society, civic or fra
ternal. They are everywhere and actively
engaged in disseminating the doctrine of
Ithe Communist party.
| THE FATE OF THE BONUS BILL
It is quite evident from reports being re
ceived from Washington that the veterans
bonug bill will be passed by both branches
of congress. It is equally as certain that
President Roosevelt will veto the bill and
then it will be up to congress to pass it
over his veto. To override the President’s
veto, it will be necessary for the bill to re
ceive two-thirds of the votes of the mem
bers which it is el2imed by the advocates
of the bonus as being certain of getting.
There seems to be a determined effort
on the part of the veterans and their
friends to force the payment of the bonus
| for the soldiers at this session of congress.
| Every effort possible has been made to
!pass the bill in the face of the opposition
lof President Roosevelt. There may be
‘-'found a harmonious way in which to pa
cify all concerning, but from present indi
cations there is little hopes for a reconcili
| ation or a compromise to be effected.

A Little of Everything, ‘
Not Much of Anything
e p—
BBy HUGH ROWE
e el
Many compliments and
words of appreciation have
been heard of the action of |
the mayor and council in iny
stalling traffic lights at the in+ |
tersection of Washington,
Broad and Lumpkin streets. !
These points were dangerous'
for pedestrians as well as for mo
torists. Traffic conditions had
grown to be serious and the eree
tion of the traffic lights was, in
deed, timely. There are two other
points in this city that should be
protected by traffic lgihts. One at
the intersection of Lumpkin
street and Milledge avenue andj
one at the intersection of Broad,
Oconee and Thomas streets. With
these two lights installed, Athens|
would have a splendid system of
traffic lights; at the most needed
points, to say the least.
s R |
The cost of these lights are ]
not exhorbitant nor are=they |
~ beyond the reach of the mu
i nicipality. The two, so we are
‘ toid, could be bought and in
‘ stalled for approximately SSOO. l
. That being true, the mayor andl
council could well afford to make
the investment, especially when it
lmeuns so much for the protection
of the citizens. Along with the
icitizcnship of Athens, we are
proud of the two lights, just in
lstulled. Now, if the mayor and
council can find a way to complete
"the system by adding two more
lights at the locations designated
in the foregoing, we will feel that
'a good jbo has been done and oiie
!that should be appreciated by
ie\'ery taxpayer in this city.
| rßaeairinyin
| We believe in giving the
mayor and councilmen time
\ and during the next thirty or
~ sixty days we hope that they
| will see fit to authorize the
| purchase and installation of
| the lights.
| We cannot imagine a better
!plu'pusv that the city’s money
lcoum be spent for. Certainly, the
whole citizenship would be pro
‘tvctwl and at a very small cost.
'We have not talked with any of
,Hw members of the council on the
; installation of the proposed addi
| tional traffic lights, but knowing
|th|*m as we do, we feel certain
!tln;‘ they will agree to the propo
|>itinn and not delay in completing
what would give to the people of
lithi.\’ community an almost com
| plete and much needed improve
| ment.

The paving of Broad street
is rapidly approaching comple

weeks, it will be ready for
traffic all the way through to

It is now open to traffic to

will likely be opened to traflic this

By
HELEN WELSHIMER
Dr. Cecile T. La Follette, of Col
umbia . University, has recently’
compléted a serious study into the
domestic relations of 652 married
women employed in 36 American
cities, She has anonunced, as a re
sult of her survey, that. fulltime
working wives are not getting a
square deal from their husbands.
‘These women must be the bread
winners, of necessity, since they
‘are the employed members of their
;family, but Dr. La Follette says
' that their husbands too often ex
lpect working wives to cut the
' bread and butter it, too.
i There is much to be said in a plea
| fcrr forgiveness for the erring hus
| pands. They are not lazy, for the
lmost part. Defeated, yes. ‘And dis
| appointed. Their morale is
lowered. Thelr eyes arsn’t so clear,
their faces are thinner and their
mouths have a grimmer line, if they
! are really fine men who want to
‘support their families and have
| been deprived, through an eco
!nomic catastrope, of this responsi
bility.
Naturally they are awkward and
| clumsy as they face unaccustomed
|tasks, Of course, they don't see the
| work that is to be done any more
{than san untrained business wo
man, entering her husband’s office,
,would understand the intricacy of
| its mechanism.
Then, too, there has been a pre-'
judice against men who were lnter-l
ested in household tasks, The un
employed husbands have that bar
rier to hurdle, too. The very hope
which keeps them waiting for a
job to turn up, with true Micaw
brian spirit, will prevent them from
applying themselves whole-heart
edly to bedmaking and diswash
ing.
No man wants to be supported
by a woman, He wants the right
to work, to pay hits own way in
cash. to contribute to society
through an active accomplishment.
An unemployed husband suffers
from lack of a channel in which to
function as well as from accept
ance of the enforced financial sup
port given him. ,
The last few years have been
trying for unemployed husbhands
with employed wives, Women
should exercise patience and un
derstanding and be peculiarly tol
erant with the irrational tenden
cies, the gpervous attitudes that
have developed in many men, |
Remember, men have a tradltion]
pehind them which is as firmly
built as it is unfair, When sons and
daughters in the same families are
employed outside the home, though
an equal check for board may be
demanded from cach, it is always
the daughter who is expected to
don an apron and wipe the dinner
dishes. The son is supposed to be
tired after his day at the office.
We recognize the unfairness of the
situation,, but we must realize that
this situation of men withdrawing
from household duties is nothing
new, Theg have been trained to do
sO, unjust t'hough it is.
But the new order may result in
a betteer partnership when the
economic pendulum swings back to
normality. Men will understand
that women's work is definite and
constructive and necessary. They
will accord it & more respectful
status.
Children, so prone to adore the
parent who is seen so little that he
is a novelty, yet just as inclined
to turn grief and bruises to the one
whom they know better, will un
derstand that a mother may be gay
and interesting, a father may have
an undreamed wealth of sympathy
and understanding. Our relations
may become stabilizeq in a fairer
mold if we will accept the tempo
rary inconveniences with gracious
ness. “

Blue Plate Dinner
There’s an old gentleman around
town who enters small, quiet res
taurants in the evenings, and car
ries a package which he refuses
to check. Orders his dinner and
then detains the waiter while he
unwraps his bundle. It contains a
plate, a rather ordinary-looking
blue plate. “Use this when you
bring in the meat course” com
mands the old gentleman. He dines
from the plate and when it is
washed and returned to him
while he has his dessert. He wraps
it carefully and dodders out.
¥ Consultation l
A Miss Elizabeth Hett, chief op- !
erator in the Hotel New Yorker,
plugged in on a telephone call th;':
other day atd found herself in con
wversation with an excited guest!
who, though quite articulate, hap
pened to be speaking in Japanese.
Try as she would, Miss Hett could
not understand.y word he said,
but gathered that it was something
pretty important.
And so she® telephoned the Jap
anese consulate. First she got a
jittery underling ‘who couldn’t
comprehend what she wanted.
Next she spoke to an Oriental
who, although more composed, de
manded to know why she ‘dared
thus to interrupt the affairs of a
governmental agency. Miss Hett
explained that she Lknew it was
the consulate's business to aid
countrymen in distress. And this
countryman plainly was in dis
tress. :
Ah, yes, said the man. He would
connect her with a higher official.
The third Japanese, who may or
may not have been the Consul
General himself, quickly grasped
lthe 'situation and proceeded to talk
with the hotel guest. They talked
Ifor five minutes, at least, and
snickered a good deal. Then the
attache of the consulate spoke to
Miss Hett. “I will translate the
message,’ he said gravely. “Yotr
guest hopes that someone will ‘call
for his laundry on Monday after
noon,”
Crossed Wires
In the radio control room of a
big hotel I heard the other day
from the chief engineer, a sad lit
tle story of his predecessor. One
evening, snug in his aerie as he
looked out over the lights of the
city, he received a call!from the
south ballroom, where a stag par
ty was being held. The stags had
a few minutes to wait for the en
tertainer, it was explained; mean
wihile, they’d like a little music
piped down to them.
Just at that moment came a cgll

i Meanwhile the assembled hotel
lmanagers had settled ‘back for the
‘evening's oratory. Their dignified
*president arose, beamed, har-r
--umphed, and opened his mouth.
And from the loud speakers around
the large ballroom came a baritone
voice singing “Let's Take ; Walk
iAround the Block.”
Lo Looking Talented
The Stage, most entertaining of
theater magazines, offers one of
lthe several explanations of why
Peter Arno withdrew from his an
l.nounced association ,with the new
revue, “Fools Rush In”. Seems
he had heen too rushed with other
matters to worry about the cos
tumes and scenery. But he did, he
! confided, have an even better con
‘tribution——-the Twelve Peter Arno
| Girls, whom he personally had se
| lected.
| Leonard Sillman, the director,
1 asked if they could dance. No,
.Act? No. Well, what the dickens
could they do? “They are very
beautiful,” replied Mr. Arno. “But
| remember, Leonard, they are very
j busy. You can't ask them to re
| hearse.”
