In a small and inoffensive way. relief has always been adrrinLnemi in this country." Most people didn't even know about it before 1D2D. It was generally believed that if anyone any-one wo. so unfortunate a.? to bo without funds, fate, in the form of a benevolent welfare agency or a wealthy distant cousin, would bo on hand to supply soup and things until the crisis posted. While municipal relief wa3 not exactly managed out of the petty cah ti'J, its inroads on the financial operations were usually tliht tnou?h to !e overlooked by the general public. Hie money wa taken from the normal tax sources and scarcely ever became too yevere a burden for the city. Times have changed. . : . . , The No. 1 headache for practically" every councilman in every city durw:? the pit 10 years has been relief. The same depression that brought relief clients pounding at aldermanic doors in unprecedented numbers also made it difficult for prcp-erty owners to fettle up their tax accounts; Since 1930, rr.on city frovcrnments have been abnormally occupied with fTtirinsr out means of making budgets stretch to accommodate accommo-date the new relief costs. '.. In n-.o-t ca-s, states and the federal government helped. PVA and WI'A. along with their predecessors, provided for Kze of the indigents; but even these agencies had to be sup-rortcd sup-rortcd r-artullv by community funds. Ftr.v cities hive conceded that relief is to I a permanent accoutrement to municipal financing. Relief costs are calculated cal-culated from year to year, with funds being earmarked out of the regu'ar budget. Sometimes the money doesn't quite stretch, and year-end crises result. With a few exceptions, all the funds, used to pay for municipal relief, are coming from the same sources that were drawn upon before relief became a problem. " ' : ' . ' ' ' Four cities New York, San Francisco, Grand " Rapids, Mich-, and Frie, Pa. have develop c-d new taxes to take care cf relief. V.v York, last year, financed S3 per cent of its relief through current revenues from cigaret, rales, business, titiUty and cunduit taxes. fGrand Papids managed to collect S per cent of its relief costs from sp-ecial sources and San Frar.ci&co, 40 per cent... ., . ' M'-ny eit'ejr take care of this item irp floatingmanicipal bends. But bonds must be redeemed eventually, so the solution solu-tion is crdy temporary. Unless new forms of taxes are adopt ed, the burden will eventually fall upon the property owners. .The gravity of relief problems decreases, of course, as general bus me s conditions improve. The situation today is much better than it was six years ago. But it is improbable that the problem will ever vanish entirely, i No Immunity For Neutrals Both Britain and Germany are reading the Riot Act to fcefu dd'eJ Norway as a result of the Altmark incident. ; It tlicon't matter , who's right according to international liw because this code of nations during war i3 pretty much like gangland ethics. The act of war itself is a gross violation of fundamental rules of conduct, and any gentlemen's code to govern butchery is a bitter travesty. The vietcm of criminal acts is, of course, Norway; and Britain and Germany together share the guilt for bringing the war and Its legal problems into Norwegian waters. It is net fair to project neutrals into the dispute. If there must be war, the best way to conduct it, if it were possible, would be to rope off areas somewhere strictly within the I.'!igercnts own territories and then to send the armies in with a final, if futile, admonition not to hit below the belt; - .. ....... ; ' - THIS CURIOUS WORLD pt-fcso'rvio Si DEER.

I was thinking how unfortunate It Is that man cannot, or does not put a value upon other things comparable to what he places upon money. People who would shudder at th thoueht of losin? or wasv incr mnnv think nothlnff of throwlnir crecious time away Those who would think it a ter-ihm ter-ihm rrim to teal money, will teal golden hours from, their friends. - ,.--, V'c are llkewUse ircklen with energy, waiting In use-lew use-lew or harmful aUvitlea the Tltai force which might accomplish ac-complish what would give ourselves and others lasting benefit and pleasure. , But there is another human absurdity ab-surdity which makes me wish even more that we could apply methods involved with money to other phases of life. If a man saves money, placing aouar ajier dollar In a bank, he builds up a credit upon which he may draw In times of need, lie may use that accumlation cf dollars to square debts until every ; one has been withdrawn. It is true that we say a man's good name is Uke a bemk account. And in some ways it is. A good name, built up of Innumerable honorable acts, does give & qeservca security, uui u i - more like a money security than any other kind. Because John Smith and his forefathers through generationa have been uprlgnt men.. John may offer his name as linancial security among those who know it stands for honor, and nothing; more will be required. . But uppoe John, in the trrtm of economic insecurity, make a mistake, or that in the cloud of aome emotional, away he commits a crlnae. May lie draw upon hH credit cf good honorable dceda.ac- emulatel through a lifetime to cancel his wmknesm ? js'ot t any appreciable degree. It Is true that character - wit nesses are sometimes called to the assistance of a man who has dene wrong. But even if ; he Is adjudged by the courts of the land to worthy to resume his role cf honorable citizen in- his com m unity, does that wipe off . the debit side of his account and still leave the credit his long years of honor and rectitude had given tlm? . Hardly! Though his repentance may have washed his soul, of any re- fpons'.D.uiy or repeating rus er ror, the red of the debit side on his account-still-shows. - lie sees it In the averted eyes of his for mer asociate as he enters his of fice. In the forced warmth of his old friends" greeUng. in a falling away of opportunities in his bust ness. What hurts him worse thai any of these is that all the mem bers of his family feel it too, although they -were entirely in nocent of any connection with his fault. Ills wife sees heads come together and hands go to mouths as she comes, (purposely late so people won't have to speak to her) to her club. His son sees . it when he fails to get the appointment appoint-ment or the promotion he had every reason to expect. I lis daughter daugh-ter sees It as she waits In vain for the invitation that formerly made her life joyous. . . - . ..--. i Faith, Hope, Charity, these three, but- the greatest of these Is Charity." . - - . ,-in ,-in like manner an Institution Institu-tion of learning may bring ' . untold blessing to thousands - of i young persons through many years. Their lives are, by the knowledge and lnxp.r-ation lnxp.r-ation received through the guidance of the faculty of the AmUtution and - through , the opportunity of varied actlv-. actlv-. iUcs ami contact, given a new light, which they bear onward on-ward ta the benefit of all who come within It glow. -But when a few students who brought no torch to be lighted, leave school as they came, tne institution in-stitution is condemned. The processions pro-cessions who marched through past years and the procession marching toward the future years all- with - their- lighted torches, are forgotten. :The eyes of the critics see only the empty hands of the few who have lights. Their lack is the crime the school has committed. By that it is judged rather than by ' the torches held high by .the marching thousands.

It would mean a ? groundswell of strength which would practically ensure its recipient a place on the party's ticket. COUNTRY.

From all -over the country they come to listen to his Saltyf counsel. Standing before his huge fireplace, vesUess 1 he hates vests), his hands under, li coat-tails,! he encourages them as an older brother. I . The Landon of today Is the same Landon before he zoomed Into national na-tional prominence. ) He still rises at dawn, still is -careful to close cattle gates behind him in cross-Ins: cross-Ins: the prairie, still respectfully calls William Allen White, "Mr. White," and is still one of the best pitch hands , in the middle west. His good nature and drawling humor hu-mor are never-failing. A month, after his crashing defeat, de-feat, when asked why he wasn't going fishing in a : Republican state, he replied with a grin, "Because "Be-cause it's too hard to. find that kind of a state." The following year, while returning home In a driving rain, he slipped and fell In crossing a pasture. Telling friends about the incident, he laughed: "Yes, sir, . It sure wag funny. Exactly a year from .the night I was nominated for -president I was flat on my face in a Kansas ditch." - t GROWN UP X William Allen White, sage stu dent of politics and men, recently observed that ; few figures S in American history have grown in-defeat in-defeat as Alf Landon. Several factors are responsible for this development. de-velopment. . " One is Landon's deep sense of humility. It Is a common' frailty among men who reach high political poli-tical eminence to., develop , messianic messi-anic complexes; to consider themselves them-selves endowed : with . special attributes at-tributes and divine ukase to impose im-pose their theories on he rest of mankind, ; But hot Landon. He doesn't consider himself different dif-ferent from other folks, nor entrusted en-trusted with a holy mission. He is a simple American who loves his country and is ready to do his patriotic best to help promote its prosperity and security. During the J936 campaign, Landon hit hard, but once the fight was over he harbored no grudges, did not immure himself - in a sullen aloof ness of spiteful resentment He lauded ; the administration's handling of the delicate Panay bombing Incident, readily went to the Pan-American - Conference at Lima, and when war broke out in Europe, : he endorsed the presi dent's proposal to repeal the arms emoargo. . Another factor Is Landon's f unda mentat . liberalism. .... He Is not a militant In the sense, of the Inner circle New Dealers, but he is far to the left of most of the national leaders of his party. ..In fact, he probably would never have been nominated If some of his views had been known to the reactionary elements ele-ments that backed him. His break with Hoover late in 1937 was over this issue of liberalism. ,;. Bent on revenc-ine the' repudia tion of his regime, .Hoover con ceived the plan ., of a, "mid-term convention" t to draft a platform which would endore his economic and fiscal theories. Landon. sup ported, by Colonel Frank Knox and oy various congressional , leaders. set4 himself squarely against this I r: NEW and USED FURNITURE INLAID & PRINT LINOLEUM SALE!

' LANDON'S IDEALS ' . A third factor that has played a big role in Landon's growth has been his disinterested efforts to rebuild and modernize the Republican Repub-lican party. As the first step, In this work, he took himself completely out of the field as a possible aspirant. Then he set about to act as a big brother to all presidential possibilities, possi-bilities, in order to give the party the fullest opportunity to gauge their worth and mettle. Few aTe aware Of the extent to which Landon Lan-don has qultely counselled GOP candidates and their managers. He has been rigidly impartial in this. He has give. his advice freely to all who sought it and they all have. ' More than that he has secretly intervened in more , than one factional row among them in key states and without fanfare .restored peace and unity. Simultaneously, Landon has dinned din-ned home to the GOP certain vital facts: that 1) the party cannot be merely obstructive; (2) that its thinking on national Issues did not stop in 1932; and (3) that it must be, modern, up-to-date and progressive. prog-ressive. - These views have not set weU with" -certain powerful elements, ele-ments, a fact which has not disturbed dis-turbed Landon. These principles are what he very definitely believes and with no axe to grind or personal per-sonal ambitions to nurse, he has spoken frankly and honestly.
