NEEDS CO-OPERATION
OF THE HOME FOLKS
This office has recehec a lengthy
communication from Congressman
Edward R. Burke of the Second Ne
braska district asking that we call
the attention of our readers to two
important pieces of legislation up
for enactment in congress in a very
short time. One is to provide loans
to small business and industrial
plants and the other providing gov
ernment loans for new home con
struction and renovizing of old
homes. Mr. Burke says the bill to
provide government loans is the final
link, of the administration's reliet
plans. Government loans are now
available to the farmer and distress
ed home owners. What is needed is
the same relief for the distressed busi
ness man the employer.
If the legislation is to be passed
at this session it will require the co
operation of everybody interested to
assist Mr. Burke in obtaining a sur
vey of Nebraska communities. Lum
bermen, building tradesmen, supply
men, bankers, commercial clubs and
other organizations are asked to co
operate in an effort to gather the data
on the needs of Nebraska accurately
and quickly and forward the findings
to Mr. Burke in the shortest possible
time.
In making loans for business pur
poses, it is not the intent to hand out
money promiscuously. Loans are to
be made on a strictly business basis
and adequate security must be pre
sented. These will be loans which
good, conservative bankers would
make over a period cf years if it were
not for the stringent semi-liquid
loans now demanded by bank exam
iners. Applicants will need an excel
lent background for their financial
responsibility before their applica
tions will be considered. It is not
expected there will be many such in
any given community, but in the
aggregate it will mean much to Ne
braska not only in helping to solve
the unemployment problem, but will
aid in helping industries, which in
the past few years have found the
problem of keeping business going a
difficult one.
In the matter of new home con
struction or major repairing of old
hemes the report to Mr. Burke should
include names of those planning eith
er new homes or renovizing; num
ber of homes which might be built,
might be renovized; approximate cost
in each case; when work might be
started; how many men needed, and
for how long.
Individual letters asking for this
help should bo mailed immediately
to Congressman Burke as the time is
short.
It is requested that no politics be
permitted to enter into these mat
ters in any form. Everybody, regard
less of politics, should be interested
in this local relief program and ex
tend all the help they can. Wahoo
Democrat.
A.
WHAT SENATOR N0RRIS WANTS
Senator Norris appears to nave as
much trouble in the senate, with his
proposed constitutional amendment
for popular election of presidents, as
ho is having in Nebraska with his
nonpartisan unicameral legislature
scheme.
Animating both of these plans is
the senator's dislike for both the re
publican and democratic parties. He
trusts neither. He is an enemy of
the two-party system, and wants to
faciltate the formation of new par
ties, new groups, to oppose both.
Therefore, in Nebraska he wants
a small legislature, its members
elected from large districts, respon
sible neither to small local consti
tuencies nor to the democratic or
republican party, and with neither
party responsible for their actions.
And in the nation he wants to
abolish the electoral college because
that system makes extrmely difficult
the organization of effective support
for third and fourth and fifth party
candidates for the presidency. If the
voting were direct, anybody could
run for president, just as anybody
can run for sheriff. There coujd be
as many candidates for president as
there are conflicting groups of in
terest and opinion.
The result, it lias been asserted
by the opposition, would be that or
dinarily no candidate for president
would poll a majority vote, and that
the election would be thrown into the
house of representatives. And the
tendency, of course, would be to
break down the two-party system
that is distinctly American. For it
would be substituted the multi-party
system, that has been the outstand
ing weakness of European demo
cracies with their rapidly rising and
falling coalition government gov
ernment torn by internal dissension
and costatly 'at war with itself.
That Seator Norris war on the
two-party system, his anxiety to wipe
out organized party control and re
sponsibility, is actuated by earnest
conviction no one will question. He
believes a multi-party government
or no-party government, would be
better goernment. This newspaper
joins with those who as earnestly
believe that he is wrong. World-
Herald.

THE UNEIIPL0CED,
AND MORE
JOBS
How many'people are now out of
work in the United States, and what
has been the gain in employment
since recovery began a year or more
ago? Figures just given a senate
committee by Secretary Perkins of
the labor department and by others
afford an interesting view of the mat
ter and the most dependable that can
be had under the circumstances.
The peak of unemployment in the
depression was fixed, roughly, at 13
million. About 2 million "have
gone back to work in private indus
try." Another 350,000, approximate
ly, now are employed on public works,
and it is expected that the total thus
employed, directly, will be about
million by next fall. To these are
to be added about 350,000 in the
civilian conservation corps, where
there also ta3 been "re-employment
in agriculture and the service indus
tries," the totals of which are not
estimated. Also not taken into ac
count is tbe former CWA employ
ment, which was public, and the to
tals now given work or to be afford
ed it in the substitute relief pro
gram.
It is not possible to determine with
any degree of accuracy, therefore
the extent to which the peak figure
of 13 million, itself a guess, may
have been reduced. On the face of
actual figures submitted not includ
ing agriculture, the service indus
trie3 or relief work the reduction
has been about SY2 million, bring
ing the total down to approximately
OV2 million.
The bulk of present unemployment
undoubtedly is in the capital or dur
able goods industries, and it is re
ported that of the total of 2y2 mil
lion normally employed by the con
struction industry alone 2 million
now are idle. One million of the lat
ter, it is shown, now are on the fed
eral relief rolls. It is upon a further
revival of this big group of indus
tries that the administration now is
concentrating its efforts, through
plans for RFC, reserve bank and mem
ber bank loans to industry, through
revision of the securities act of last
year and through home mortgage and
related insurance proposals. The
greater part of the re-employment,
however, must come through un
aided, and unobstructed, recovery by
normal processes. Kansas City
Times.
