ON OUR WAY.
(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
To use the President’s own phrase, we are “on our way
to a scheme of social security—the somewhat nebulous end
which has taken the place of that even less coherent concept
of “social justice’’ in so many minds. Mr. Roosevelt s mes
sage to Congress on the subject is perhaps the most import
ant document he will address to the Legislature at this ses
sion. It should not be approved or condemned in its entir
ety, but should be studied, analyzed, dissected, and then
measured against the practical limitations that hamper the
program.
The program involves old age pensions, unemployment
insurance, care of crippled children, aid to dependent child
ren, aid to child welfare services, provision for maternal and
child health, and a more general buttress to State public
health programs.
The detailed recommendations of the Chief Executive
concerning each of these broad objectives can be scrutinized
later. At present it is worth while to see the President's
program in fair perspective. There are many who sincere
ly believe that all these matters are outside the proper
sphere of central government. There are. strangely enough
others who believe with the notorious Mr. Townsend, that
the Federal Government should pay a pension of $200 a
month to every citizen over 65. In that opium Utopia the
needy aged would spend enough money to keep all the rest
of us busy and prosperous.
The President stands on middle ground. He has had
competent advice on this problem. His own outlook is that
of a practical humanitarian—not a Tory, not an idealist, not
a proletarian. He has not proposed a dole, nor has he over
looked the vital importance of a decentralized administra
tion through the 48 States. It is probable that his program
is far too ambitious, in the light of the strain which would
be imposed on industry in a period of recovery.
The social security program has not been submitted to
Congress with the injunction to take it or leave it. Rather,
it reaches the Congress as the reason judgment of a group of
experts as to how the broad objective may be attained. It
is for the Congress to assume complete responsibility, to go
over the entire project with a fine-tooth comb, to estimate
the practicality of every feature, and. if it passes any of the
program, to enact into law only those things which seem
safely within our reach at present.

recently reestablished.
A bill granting leave of absence
to settlers on homestead lands dur
ing the present year, has been fav
orably recommended by the Secre
tary of the Interior, and Tuesday
the bill was favorably reported by
the Senate Committee on Public
Lands. The bill is of particular in
terest and value to many homestead
ers in Alaska, as it provides that
any homestead settler who. during
the year 1935, should find it neces
sary. because of economic conditions
■ leave his homestead to seek em
pl \vment :n order to obtain the nec
essities of life for himself or family
or to provide for the education of

the register of the district, his affi

affidavits of two dis.rvterested persons
showing the necessity of such ab

with the requirements of the home
stead laws as to residence, cultiva

payment of purchase money, as the
case may be, during all or any part
of the calendar year 1935, and said
entries shall not be open to contest
or protest because of failure to com
ply with such requirements during
such absence: except that the time
of such absence shall not be deduct
ed from the actual residence re
quired by law. but a period equal to
such absence shall be added to the
statutory life of the entry.
