ItVi FEAR OFFSETS EFFORTS TO FREE ASSETS Many people are wondering these days just why they should be called upon to spend a little more freely of their savings. This is adequately replied to by advising that the cycle of fear which has swept the nation during past weeks has caused an increased hoarding; to the point where it has tended to offset the effoits being made to free frozen assets and put new money in circulation. The situation outlined has constituted for some time a national emergency. With respect to the business situation, the effects of fear have nullified the progress made through absorption of surplus goods, repayment of debts, reduction of costs and selling prices, and in the other ways in which business works out a new equilibrium during periods of disturbance and thus builds up its own recuperative powers. If fear can be made to give way to confidence there is good reason to hope that the notable progiess made by business men in dealing with their own problems will bear fruit in business recovery FEW LEADERS CONTROL Minimizing the importance of the reapportionment of membership in the national House of Representatives, Senator Thomas of Oklahoma declares that it ieally does not matter how many members there are, as four or five men run things anyway. This is doubtless true. So far as legislation is concerned, the average Congresman has very little influence, and all the brave speeches made on the floor change few votes, if any. The leaders decide what legislation is to be passed, and if they find they cannot command enough votes to put a measure through they just sidetrack it and await a more favorable time. Hundreds of bills are introduced which their proposers well know have not the slightest chance of enactment, but these gestures some times impress folks back home, and when they fail there is always a plausible alibi ready. Every congressman performs much useful work in Washington for his constituents, however, looking after matters before the vaMost of them are rious executive departments and bureaus. able to get a new postoffice building or an appropriation of some kind for their districts occasionally, which adds to their prestige. Rut so far as influencing general legislation is concerned, a very few members run the machine. The rest might as well stay at home. A Moab t. MAN POWER VERSUS MACHINERY Different communities use different methods in taking care of their unemployed. During a recent trip into southern California it was interesting to note in Los Angeles county, especially on one road out of Long Beach where fully a thousand men were being employed in one crew building load and bridge. Some of these men were in broadcloth attire, others indicating suits from the office, but all were anxious to work, even if the pay was small. At another point out of San Bernardino, I observed vast road projects being handled with giant machinery and a very small crew of men, one machine possibly doing more work in a day than would have been done by 50 men and horse, all of which brought to mind that there are more reasons than one why there are so many unem- 365-da- acre-fee- t. one-hal- stafT' Editor-in-Chi- Helen I.aZar Burton Miss Conuie Child Athletic Assistant ....

ADVERTISING Relief Given 374 Carbon County Families Not many of us these days are troubled with so much money that we cannot spend it. Hut we are Interested in 497 APPLICATIONS RECEIVED 61 MEN AND FOUR WOMEN GIVEN JOBjJ SPENDING TO SAVE THRU o o o upending the money we have, to gel the most out of it. One way and not a new way either is to make a bud- week by get. Put down, week, the money that conies in. Hut down beside it, week by week, the money that goes out. So much for food, so much for clothing, so much for rent. So much for giving and luxuries. It won't be easy of course, to stay within the budget. where That's advertising helps you. in the Advertisements Helper Journal tell you how much tilings will cost, before you go shopping. They point out ways to save money, and where things can be pur- chased at the lowest prices. They show you how to cut a little here, a little there. Read the advertisements in the Helper Journal and spend your money where you can buy to the best advantage. The advertisements will point the way.

THE GANGSTER MUST GO No case of a criminal nature has attracted more attention in history of the world than the kidnapping of Master Charles Augustus Lindbergh jr, son of one whom the world admires as a man of tin stinted honor, and concerning whom there are none but who hold him as honorable in his every action and thought. However, he has had to pay a penalty for his achievements, the leason for which is not understood by a wondering world. Admired, honored and living in no fear, as hulicated when he took life in his hands, shooting his plane out over the Atlantic ocean in the interest of greater scientific achievement. Admiration iust does net express the feeling: for Lindbergh, and the sorrow for his predicament, and that of the little wife, who biought a son and heir into life as a support for her courageous husband is harbored in every home in the world where the name Lindbergh has entered. That the son will be returned is the universal hope and that it may be brought about before the grieved parents bteak under the strain is the prayer and wish of all. It was a fool gangster that arranged for this abduction, They all know it now, and hold fear for the consequences of this act, if the child is not safely returned. The gangster must go. Thursday.
