‘ CATTON’S COMMENT J
Witl] Engineer Morris L, Cooke of Philadelphia
announcing that we have only about 100 years of
“virile national existence” left to us unless we do
sonmjething drastic to stop soil erosion, it begins to
look as if there really was a fire behind all the
smoke of those dust storms. §
Mr. Cooke, who is chairman of the administra
tion’'s Mississippi Valley comigpittee, says that ini
another 50 years we shall have only 150,000,000
acres of really fertile soil, if present wastage goes |
on unchecked. 1‘
At is his idea that soil preservation is as urgem;
a national problem as economic an financial recov- |
The whole situation with respect to soil eros
jon is a direct outgrowth of our time-honored
policy in respect to our agricultural land. Of all
the natural resources with which thig country was
blessed, its soil has been probably the richest; and
our use of it illustrates both the best and the
worst aspects of rugged individualism.
In its best aspect, the individualism of our agri
culture has built up a social class unique in agri
cultural history. We have no peasantry; instead
we have a class of men of stury and independent
self-reliance, following a way of life that has pro
duced much happiness and that has made our
great democratic experiment workable.
On the other hand, we have permitted this
greatest of our natural assets to be used waste
fully, without regard for the future or for the wel
fare of the country as a whole.
We have let our soil be used in such way that
wind and water have permanently ruined enor
mous areas and threaten the ruin of even larger
areas; so that today we find ourselves obliged to
spend much money and effort to repair the dam
age which this individualism has inflicted.
What we need to do, of course, is find some sort
of middle course which will conserve the good side
of cur rural individualism and put a curb on the
bad side.
~"fi’:\¥e,don't wan't collective farming, a la Stalin.
We don't want a system of regimentation under
which the farmer must ask permission of Wash
ington before he puts his plow into the ground.
We do want to save the rural independence which
has been so richly productive of human values.
“On the other hand, we must Imgfst that farm
laid be used with the national welfare in mind.
We need intelligent conservaticn measures which
will enable us to hand down to our grandehildren
a farm-land just as broad and rich as it always
has been. ’ .
We must stop the wastage which, if u;whecked,
wotdd lead tc u progressive national decline.
It ought not to be impossible to find a program,
which wuld embracé all“these aims at once¢ -
o }f* the best Wtfif@ffiwé of the spring is the
announcement that the building industry is slowly
e “'Tfi.‘ \M w“w‘tt&d, ‘,\IDB)VUIB- g
A number ‘of forces are contributing to the im
proyefent. Big engineering “jubs fosteved by gov
erminent spending a playing a part, ad so are
minor housc-repairing jobs stimulated through the
F‘egex_:al Housing Administration.
n top of that, residential building is beginning
to show signs of Ifie-reflecting, apparently, an im
provement botk in means and confidence of the or
dinary citizens
%}atever the causes may be, the revival is highly
important. Until the byilding trades do revive, we
cannot have real business recovery.
If the revival is actually beginning—if what looks
like a revival just now is not just a temporary
spring spurt—it is the best of all possible omens of
our return to full prosperity.
A country-wide radio system which would link
all police forces in a unified campaign against
crime has been outlined by J. Edgar Hoover, chief
of the Bureua of Investigation of the Department
of Justice, in a letter to the head of the Ohio High-
WaYy Fatrol. ~ toebt o
In view of the way radio has proved it useful
ness to scores of city police departments, this plan
would sc¢em to have much to recommend it.
It might, indeed, be the means by which we
could achieve the necessary degrees of national co
ordination of police work - without sacrificing our
local "autonomy.
From’ the standpoint of efficiency alone, we need
a federal wolice force to replace all our local
forces. No one wants that, however, because of
the sgacrifice of local liberties it would involve.
Some sort of national radio tie-up might give us
many .of the advantages of federalization without
any of its deawbacks. The idea ought to be well
worth study. > -
favery 19 minutes some American is kiled by an
automobile. 8o far this year our autbh. traffic has
killed 7.060 people: and the National Safety Coun-,
cil warns that unless something is done to check
the trend our death list for 1935 wlil be the highest
we ever had. e :
Perhaps the greatest puzzle in modern life is the
complacengy with which we accept this state of
, affairs. Lile must be exceedingly cheap in this
. country when a thing which kills us at the rate of
i more than 39000 a year fails to stir us to actien.
* It is nonsense to say that the rate cannot be
- reduced. The traffic death rate in Indianapolis, son
_ instance, stands at 36,5 per 100,000 of population:
" in New York city it is 9.7. Similar disparities are
to be found all along the line. -
. We can cut the toll to a fraction of its present
size, if we just make up our minds that we are
TEACHING COMPANIONATE
MARRIAGE
‘ Teaching free love or companionate mar
'riage in the University of Chicago has
’caused quite a stir among the parents of
‘the students of that institution. Not only
is it alleged that these subjects are taught
and featured in the class rooms, but that
especial attention is given to the teaching
of communistic doctrines, It is indeed, un
fortunate for any of the great educational
institutions of this country to permit such
subject matters to be brought into their
curriculums. The Macon News in com
menting on the alleged condition existing
in the University of Chicago, in part, said:
“The University of Chicago has long
been known for the “liberal” views of
many of its faculty, but it was hardly be
lieved that things had gone so far as the
outright advocacy of free love and com
munism as has been revealed by the testi
mony of Charles R. Walgreen, head of the
drug store chain, who cites the experi
ence of his own niece, : y
“Mr. ‘Walgreen had brought his niece to
Chicago from Seattle, in order that she
might have the advantages of such educa
tional epportunities as the university af
forded. She had not been there a great
while when she told him that members of
the faculty openly advocated free love.
Students were toid that there was no long
er just one standard of morals and that
the other standards might be right as well
as wrong. ,
“The niece also testified that in the
school’s syllabus of indispensiable reading
was Karl Marx’s “Capital” and Frederick
Engle’s “Communist Manifesto.,” Both of
these works not only advocate communism,
which means the overthrow of the estafi
lished order by violence, but make light
of the family relation. In'practice we have
ceen how far this idea has been carried in
Russia, where the marriage systems, with
a divorce for the asking, amounts te free
love and family ties are set at naught.
“When Mr. Walgreen's niece came to
him, he says, she was a normal girl, but
<oon she had become indoctrinated with
the communistic point of view and when
he pointed out that it would lead to blood
shed, she inquired, “Does not the end justi
fy the means?” ' : T
In these days of modern and over 'lib-|
eral views on all matters of a social and
moral character, there is danger of the
minds of the young becoming warped and
crystalized around subjeects that may lead
them to ruin, morally and spiritually. We
cannot imagine more degrading and ruin
ous teachings than that expostulated by
theorists and those of diseased minds who
term ' themselves scientists and the intel
ligentsia. If the teaching of free love or
companionate marriage and communism
in any of the institutions of higher learn
ing in this country is practiced, the auth
orities should immediately order all such
departments discontinued and remove
from the faculties members holding such
views and disseminating such prqp.aga‘nda
poisoning the minds of the young and un
sophisticated.
PEACH CROP IS MOVING
It is peach time in south Georgia, and
the people of that section are boiling over
with enthusiasm and good cheer. The
Georgia peach crop is one of the most
profitable industries in the state. That is,
when the crop hits right.
Already a number of carloads has been
shipped to northern markets where a high
price has been paid by consumers. The
peaches this year are unusually fine and:
juicy. Before long the people here will be
able to buy this delicious fruit and at a rea-
Isonable price.
" The Georgia peach is said to be the best
grown in the country. The demand for this
peach in the northern markets causes it to
sell for a higher price than do peaches
grown in other states, It is to be hoped
that the peach growers will meet with
no disasters and that the crop will turn out
to be one of the best that has been grown
|in the state for the past decade. ;
NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING LEADS
Newspaper advertising is considered by
national advertisers as the best imedium
for profitable returns. A report issued
some days ogo by the Bureau of Advertis
ing of the American Newspaper Publish
ers’ Association states, that the newspa
pers of the country received 61.8 per cent
of $223,216,5620 spent by 367 national ad
vertisers during 1934. Compared with
1933, when the bureau analysis covered the
appropriations of 351 advertisers spending
$185,706,924, the current analysis showed
both a greater number of national adver
tisers and a higher individual expenditure.
The chief advertisng group or those con
cerned that lead in advertisin‘% budgets
were, automobiles, gas and oil, tobacco
and drugs. The report also shows that in
1935 the average expenditure per adver
tiser was $608,219, as compared with an
average of $529,079 in 1933. The average
expenditure in newspapers alone in 1934
was $876,103, against $323,190 in 1933,
Local advertising throughout the coun
try has shown a material increase during
this year. The merchants have increased
their budgets for newspaper advertising,
which is an indication that consumers are
increasing their buying powers. Advertis
ing merchandise has become news matter
to all wideawake buyers. They read the
advertising columns with as much interest,
and often with more interest than they do
news matter. In the advertising columns
there can always be found news of profit
to the buying public.
Air pressure in tires of cars that con
sistently carry more than a full-passenger
load should be increased to take care of
the additional weight. ¥
Combined average per vehicle tax in
1934 was $46.55, or slightly lower than the
1933 f.iflur..es L s e S
