SIGNS OF THESE TIMES By Dudley A. Smith. President Roosevelt and - others have outlined the purposes and defined the objectives of Social Security legislation, but no one hag put it more concisedly than did Governor Paul V. MdNutt in his message to the special session of the seventyNinth General Assembly of Indiana. His closing remarks were a masterful appeal for Indiana to face the issues wconfronting America’s Dpeople of today and tomorrow and to support the greatest legislation ever attempted for the humanity of the North American continent. Governor MeNutt said:

“It is one thing to meet such a devastating emergency. It is a far greater thing to prevent such catastrophes in the future. Such is tie purpose of this social security legislation. The. cost is small when compared with the enormous cost of insecurity which we have just experienced. As a matter of fact, the program should result eventually :n reduction in the cost of destitution

and depend and should destroy the fears which invite explosive and destructive political . and socal caanges. It should promote industrial stability and a decent American standard of living. God help us to be worthy of the best Indiana tradition in supporting these sane and practical proposals for social security and human rights.”

- Yet, - because Governor McNutt chose to remind his listeners of the economic devastation and fear-paraly sis which held the nation three years ago—the very cause and condition which has made Social Security acceptable to the vast majority of America’s people today—he was accused by partisan critics of having “injecting politics” into his appeal for Indiana Social Securty laws. What a hallow accusaton? Social Security- poor relief, industrial unemployment and old age pensions have been political subjects in the United . States ever since the old political order broke down in 1932 and utterly failed to do anything about any one of them. If thepolitical opposition to President Roosevelt and Governor McNutt do not recognize the fact, they still are not entitled to represent the people in public office or legislative councils.

No doubt it was a bitter pill for the opposition to hear Governr MecNutt refer to the better condition that have come to pass among the people since President Roosevelt entered the White House in 1933. They elected at once to dispute his statementg that unemployment has decreased 30% in that those three vears, that farm prices have doubled; that industrial production has increased 51 per cent that the value of listed stocks have increased 134 per cent and that the ‘“crisis in the affairs of our people have been met.

On .the same day Governor McNutt wag delivering his message to the legislature (critics please note) national authorities were givng out additional figures attesting the succesg of the Roosevelt recovery program. The New York Stock Exchange gave out a statement which showed listed stocks at the end of February to be 'worth 45.5 billion dollars more than they were on July 1, 1932, their value having increased one billion dollars in the month of

February alone. Amd this is the game New York Exchange which once warned that President Roosevelt’s security regulation law woud destroy all stock and security markets. ;

. Those who icriticised Governor McNutt might be interest to know that one of their own party, Former Vice President Dawes, at that instant predicted a two-year boom in the heavy industries, led by steel. Ang the Chicago Tribune arch enemy of the New Deal, published a chart showing American exports to have have been $150,000,000 greater in January, 1936, than they were in January 1933, holding better than a $10,000,000 favorable balance over the value of imports.

Roozevelt reciprocal trade treaties ave opening foreign markets which have been closed to American goods since the Smoot-Hawley tariff Act of 1929. Exports in 1935 were 429, greater than in 1932; still exports were 206.4 better than 1a the last year of Hoover, auto exports 1989, better, copper exports 120.5% better, tobaceo was 103.4% _betier ard machinery 101.5% improved.

Daniel C. Roper Secretary of Comperce, issued a statement reporting gross farm income in 1935 o have been $2,800,000,000 better than in 1932, or 52% improved by Roosevelt policies. Industrial production he said, has increased 68% sincz March 1933. Factry employment be addea has increased 44% and payrolls have heen doubled.

Thosze who dispute these facts and think that Social Security old age pensions, job and family welfare ave not fitting subjects for political action—they veritably are out of step with the March cf Progress.

Now you might think she were a Mrs. Houdini or an Alice in Wonderland to be able to prepare a meal like this while she is chalking up bridge scores or taking a knitting lesson at the same time; but, she’s really just an ordinary modern homemaker. She is enjoying the easy, carefree life made possible by modern electric cookery.

New Cooking Era Electric cookery brings a startling new era to this business of cooking “three square meals a day.” Remember the furor that used to take place in the kitchen when “company” meals were being prepared? Remember the anxiety and uncertainty connected with baking your first cakes, pies and muffins? Remember the times you’ve wanted te tear away from the kitchen while an important oven roast was clamoring for frequent “look-ins”? Well, with the debut of miracle cookery and the new automatic electric range, the “rock, shoals and rapids” encountered in old time cookery are entirely forgotten. Cooking now is established on a scientific, efficient

basis and every homemaker can produce real cooking miracles almost with the turn of a button. But, regarding this roast beef dinner which is going to be cooked by “remote control.” The entire meal is prepared for cooking in the usual manner—the roast is seasoned and placed in a shallow, oblong baking pan; the potatoes are but-

tered, seasoned and placed around the meat; the peas and carrots, together with a small amount of water and seasonings, are placed in a covered casserole; and the‘apple pie is made in the conventional fashion. Then the dinner goes into the oven —into a cold, unheated oven, all at one time. Sets Time-Clock And, mealtime being a few hours hence, this young lady designs to postpone the cooking for an hour or two. To do this, she sets the auto‘matic time clock at the time she ‘wants the cooking to begin and to end. She adjusts the oven temperature to the correct baking temperature and she turns the oven switch to Bake. And, when the appointed hour arrives, the measured, controlled heat units are released into the well insulated electric oven to cook the meal to a delectable perfection. Thus, Mrs. Miracle Cook has “remote control” over the cooking of this miracle dinner. However, there’s no “remote control” in regard to the eating of it. Every single member of the family will be right at hand ready to enjoy every morsel. Try it and see!

; ONE-THIRD TENANTS. Number of Tenants in Five-Year Perjod Has Increaesd Nearly Nine Thousand.

Nearly one-third of all farmers in the state of Indiana are now tenants the resettlement administration has found in sudying the problem of farm temancy in connection with the rehabiliation and resettlement operations.

During the last five years, it was reported, the number of farm tenants in Indiana increased by nearly 9,000. Of the total of 200,235 farms now in the state, temants account for 63,500 or 31.6 per cent. Despite various attempts to promote farm ownership there has been a constantly increasing proportion of tenant fammers in the Hoosier state. Frm 1930 to 1935 the number of tenants increaseq 16.4 per cent while the number of full owners increased by only 8.7 per cent. The increase in tenancy is attributed in part to foreclosures during the depression, and in part to lack of satisfactory - credit facilities. The agricultural authorities have watched with interest the giowtn of tenancy in the United States because of its fundamental relation:hip to iprob!ems of agriculture and rural ‘life. Although different problems are associated with farm tenancy in different parts of the United States, ' there ig no instability to the Awerican form tenant systegm which is ¢ mmon }to all states.

Trip To Florida Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Graves and son Earl, of Wolf Lake, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Isaac McConnell of Churubusco had a very interesting and educational trip to Florida leaving home February 15th and returning Marach 3rd. ' They left the icy roads at Rchmond, Ind., and had no trouble with ice or snow through the mountains. They spent a half day at Lookout Mountain and several hours at St. Augustine, going down. They stopped four days in New Smyma, Fla. on the east coast, then south to Palm Beach and Vero Beach. Here they spent a couple of hours with Mrs. Ernest Franks. She had been 2 teacher in Noble county when Mrs. Graveg was teaching and had been a teacher of Mrs. McConnell. They found Mr. Franks at his place of business and Mrs. Franks at her home, looking well, but having much trouble with her eyes. She is making jelly and marmalade of the cirture fruits. She has built up a good business and lecaded Mrs. McConnell and Mrs. Graves with these delicacies, much to their celight.

The sojourners then went south to Miami and the beach, west on the Tannamji Trail to Ft. Myers. They went by ferry from Bradentown to St. Petersburg. Here they were entertained by Mr. Gravss’ cousinn Mr. and Mrs. Frank Graves. ‘While at St. Petersburg they attended a picnic of members of tle Indiana-Illinois and Towa tourist clubs, held on the beautiful bay at Gulfiport. There were about 1,000 people in attendance. Mrs. Mary Piper of Cromwell and Mrs. Zattean of Kimmell accompanied them. On their return trip they visited Silver iS(prng. Talsahassee, Muscle Shoals, Nashville. Lincoln’s: birthplace, Indiana’s first capitol at Corydon and many other places of interest. While they saw many places where the water had been over the roads they were not forced to drive through ’water until they crossed Road 2 on a side road south of Merriam to :ak2 'Mr. and Mrs. MvConnell to their ’home.

Snow and Ice Expensive to State. The state highway commission today attempted to count the cost of keeping ‘lndiana’s highway system open for traffic during the greatest winter maintenance emergency in its seventeen year history. It was simple enough to compile the statistics—to show that snow and ice removal on the ning thou-sand-mile highway system between December 20 and February 15 cost approximately $266,216; that 25,586 tons of sand ang cinders with 794 tons of calcium chloride and salt were spread on slippery pavements; that maintenance workers labored for 286,616 hours and that hundreds of grader blades ang hundreds of sets of tire chains were worn out.

Every available piece ofequipment and the entire man-power of the maintenance division, was thrown into the battle against drifting snow, time after time, when the temperauress ranged to 21 degrees below zero. Flying snow and the extreme ly low temperatures caused motors to freeze and the trucks or sSnow plows to be stranded tempo rarily. Passenger cars and trucks, abandonin drifts, had to be extricated before roads could be opened. There was no counting the suffering and privation of the maintenance workers, many of whom were on the job continuously for twelve, eighteen or thirty hours . Seven of the men were so severely frozen that they required hospital and medical care and scores of others had their feet, hands, faces or ears frozen during their hours of exposure.

PROVISIONS MAY BE REDUCED. All EmploYers of Four May Come Under Indiana Law Being ' Considered. Reduction of the minimum employment compensation bill to four instead oof eight. is being considered by the state senate after a public hearing. The bill, as drafted by the joint legislative committee, was made to confoym to the federal act which provides employers of eight or more persons would be effected. The reduction was requested by B. M. Squires, administrator of uneniployment compensation systems for the men’s clothing industry in Chicago.

Squires also recommended elimination of the employe payroll tax, to shift the entire load on the employer. He added, however, that neither change should be made lif it would stand in the way of enactment of a compensation measure. Frank B. Cliffe, assistant controller of General Electric Co, Schnectady, N. Y., who assisted the joiut comimittee in drafting the bill, recommended passage in its present form. Charles Stadfeld, of Indianapo:is, communist-labor leader, urged the senate to provide compensation for men on strike and that insurance funds be obtained from taxes on ecmployers and employes with annual income over $5,000. Squires’ recommendation for reduction of the employe minimum met with favor among many of the members of the upper house and amendments are expected to propose incorporation of his plan. !
