In the pact Billions of dollars
has been riven away to the bank-
ers. His central bank Idea Is In
direct agreement with the funda-
mental principle that government
should have its chief concern for
the poor. v
In acknowledging the right of
private property, but in demanding
that It be controlled for the public
good, again the social aspect of
property is called into play and the
age lod principle of Christianity
that man is not the owner but
mly the trustee of his surplus
goods, Is in agreement with the
fundamental principle.
In demanding nationalization of
certain public resources which by
their nature are too Important to
be held by private Individual;,
Father Coughlln struck at the a-
buse of power which long since has
given over to private exploitation
the nation's basic wealth.
Finally, In the demand for a
Just, living, annual wage for labor,
Father Coughlln placed before
government a concept new to Am-
erican political economy, but old
to the moral writers of the world,
namely that labor, which furnishes
he "living stones" to the temple
of our prosperity, Is entitled to
Its reward as the first tax upon
industry, a tax prior to the rent
if land, the cost of raw material.

SIGHT KOK BLIND FROM DEAD
Kye specialists In San Francisco,
have started a movement, as re-!
ported by Dr. Martin I. Green, to
restore sight to 250,000 persons now i
blind. Their plan is to graft the!
cornea from the eyes of persons
who have just died, to the unsee-
ing pupils of the blind. Such op-
erations already proved practicable
and successful, would have to be
made within twenty-four hours
after death.

'1 believe in preferring the san- chief oonoern of government

witnessed, the rich have ample
means of their own to care for
themselves." — 16th Principle of
Social Justice.
This sixteenth principle of social
Justice Is in reality a summary of
the foregoing fifteen principles
And yet It adds the fundamental
concept of government Itself.
The old idea of equality before
the law was an idea or an ideal
which, in the realm of practical
politics, was reduced to an absur-
dity.
Professor Charles A. Beard, a
quarter of a century ago, started
the trend of thought toward real-
ism In hLs lectures and writing, in-
dicating that there was an eco-
nomic back-ground to the Consti-
tution and the laws of the land
which must be understood by stu-
dents who sought the truth In
histroy.
Following Professor Beard's ideas
men turned their minds from the
glamour of Fourth of July speeches
to a fuller understanding that in
the realm of practical government,
government's -chief concern in the
past had been to protect the san-
ctity of property rights.
Urge Government Concern for Poor
Historians had emphasized the
growth of the franchise from that
period in our early government
when religious and property tests
for office were common in every
eoleny to the gradual evolution of
suffrage to the point where uni-
versal adult suffrage was incorpor-
ated by constitutional notwith-
standing that it had tecome an
unpayable debt.
Non-Prcductive Bend is Unjust
The equities cf the money lender
endured while the poor borrower
was wiped out of his portion of
his mortgage property.
In the case of the non-produc-
tlve bond, a patient people yield-
ed from the slender farm income
cr slim factory wage the money to
pay principal and interest on the
bloody war bonds which the bank-
ers thrust upon a declved people.
Yet, not only In the case of
bonds and contracts, but In the
broader aspects ol freedom has
the voice of Father Coughlln de-
fended the principle that the chief
concern of government shall be
for the poor.
In the case of war itself Father
Coughlln stands for the conscrip-
tion of wealth as well as for the
conception of men. Heretofore the
war bill has been loaJ<?d upon the
backs of the poor, despite some ad-
vanced taxes on luxury.
Tax Harden to be Shifted
In the case of taxation, Father
Coughlln would shift the Incident

perty and whoa* capacity to pay
REORGANIZATION IN
CONGRESS
I have never known a bill to be
so grossly misrepresented as the
Re-organization Bill. It Is in ac-
cordance with the platform de-
mands of both the Republicans
and the Democrats. In 1932 the
Republican Party platform stated:
"Efficiency and economy demand
reorganization of Government bu-
reaus. The problem Is nonpartisan
and must be so treated if it Is to
be solved. As a result of years of
study and personal contact with
conflicting activities and wasteful
duplication of effort the President
is particularly fitted to direct mea-
sures to correct the situation. We
favor legislation by Congress which
will give him the required author-
ity."
The Democrats have expressed
themselves in a similar way. The
bill pending before Congress will
carry out these platform demands
It Is being violently opposed by a
solid Republican minority, and by
the Anti-Roosevelt Democrats. The
basis of the opposition seems tc
be that our present President
should not have any additional
power granted to him.
The effect of this would be, it
enacted into law, that useless and
unnecessary bureaus and commis-
sions will be abolished or consoli-
dated with others. For Instance
there are twenty-five different di-
visions in the Government engaged
in making maps. There should be
only one. It oftentimes happen
that several representatives of tin
Government will arrive in a small
town in one of the 3 072 countte.
of the United States at the same
time; each to perform a small ser-
vice for the Government. If the
President were allowed to coordin-
ate the functions of Governmental
departments, one man could per-
form these services instead oi a
number, and the taxpayers saved
a large sum of money.
The President, under present ar-
rangements. confers with his 12
Cabinet Officers about the dif-
ferent departments under them,
but there are 133 independent of-
fices and establishments that are
not under any particular cabinet
officer and they confer directly
with the President. This takes up
much of the Chief Executive's time
over matters not always of major
importance but many times merely
details.
Purse Strings Retained by
Congress
If the Reorganization Bill had
passed and the President, In the
exercise of his power under it,
should make a cw-olldntlon that
Congress believed was against the
interest- of the people und the Gov-
ernment, Congress could refuse to
appropriate money for such a de-
partment. Congress, in passing the
Reorganization Bill would not have
given up the purse strings. Con-
gress would still retain the right
to make the appropriations each
The Standard Ford V-8, with 60-horse-
power engine, gives you a lot of car for
a little money.
300,000 new owners acclaimed the
"thrifty 60" last year. Hundreds a day
are buying it in 1938. Why?
Because it is priced low — includes
essential equipment without extra
charge—and goes farther between
filling stations than any Ford car
ever built. Owners all over the country
report averages of 22 to 27 miles on a
single gallon of gasoline.
But economy isn't all the story by any
means. The Standard "60" is built with
the same precision as the De Luxe "85,"
and has the same 112-inch wheelbase
chassis. It is easy to look at and ride in
— as well as easy to buy and run.

The powers granted to the Pre-
sident under this proposal are very,
very insignificant compared with
the powers already possessed by
him. If he abuses these powers,
Congress has recourse by a major-
ity vote.
Parity Pi ices for Cotton
The Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1938 provides: "Sec. 303. If and
when appropriations are made
therefcr, the Secretary is author-
ized and is directed to make pay-
ments to producers cf corn, wheat,
cotton, rice, or tobacco on their
normal production of such com-
modities in amounts which, togetli-1
er with the proceeds thereof, will j
provide a return to such producers |
which is as nearly equal to parity
price as the funds so made avail- j
able will permit. All funds avail-
able for such payments with re-
spect to these commodities shall,
unless otherwise provided by law,
be apportioned to thee commodi-
ties in proportion to the amount
by which each falls to reach th
year, and the President cannot j parity income. Such payments shal
spend a penny that is not appro-
priated by Congress. Congress has
heretofore stopped appropriations
to departments that were not fun-
ctioning according to their wishes,
and It can be done again.
Other Democrats and Republicans
have promised the people of this
country that they wou'd reorganize
the Governmental department's so
as to prevent overlapping, duplica-
tions. waste in effort and unneces-
sary expense. They have been
stated to the people that the Pre-
sident is the only person who Is
be In addition to and not in sub
stitutlon for any other payment
authorized by law."
The duty is now upon Congres'
to provide necessary funds for thr
payment of parity prices througl
taxation. Parity price for cotton is
about 17c. While this price. If
given to the farmers, will not ne-
cessarily guarantee parity in com'
to producers, it will provide a long
step In that direction.
The President represents all thf
people of the United States Mem-
bers of Congress are elected tc
fitted to direct such a reorganlza- 'serve their respective Congressional
districts and the United States
