THE NEW DEAL „
v. - ECONOMICALLY
To the Editor of The Nome Nug- 1
get.
Dear Sr: Since the establish
ment of the United States of Am- !
erica as a separate nation we J
have abhorred anarchy in every
form—yet during the past sev
eral decades it has been stealth
ily creeping into our economic
structure.
You have all heard the phrase,
“rugged lndviduallsm." I lear
©d of It In school from text books.
Tt has been shouted at us for
years by our political leaders, our
monetary experts, and our lead
ing economists. It is in fact the
bulwark of the capitalistic sys
tem. Upon this noble-sounding
phrase was built the vast num
ber of strangling trusts that
spread like a blight across the
United States, levying tribute on
every city, town and hamlet.
These two words are responsible
for the condition that permitted
I
the amassing of tremendous
wealth In the hands of the com
parative few. ..They created the
system which permitted the same
twenty men to sit on Interlocking
directorates of over eight hun
dred banks and corporations. If
you do not believe this, consult
Senator Norris’ (of Nebraska)
speech delivered in the United
States Senate on ths subject.
These two words are responsible
for the un-American credo of the
recent past, that the Government
should be operated by, and for
the benefit of the wealthy and the
well-born. Forgotten in recent
years have been Lincoln’s immort
al words, "that government by
the people and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.”
We have, however, through the
haYe and mark of the past four
years, definitely found out that
rugged individual sm simply means
every man for himself and to h—1
with the rest.
The doctrine of the New Deal
has shown us the absolute depen
dence of all classes upon one an
other. We are forced to recog
nize the necessity of providing
livable ncomes and honest work
for all the citizens of our repub
lic. We have come to see that
the former inequality could not
and must not continue.
The leader of the New Deal,
backed by the ordinary etizen of
the land, you and I, established
the arm of government known as
the NR A. Economic stress, it is
true, led to the. adoptfon of this
arnj,,. of government, but the.
Changes that it made in the con
duct of our national life wHl not
disappear with the recovery of na
tional equirbrlum. Future years
will see giant strides along the
road opened to us when the Na
tional Recovery Act was made In
to law.
One of the most revolting spec
tacles on the horizon of our na
tional life has been relegated to
the limbos of the past; child
labor. This blot on our national
honor was erased with courage
and determination; which we
trust will never return.
The leader of the New Deal,
with high courage, knowing the
wishes of the people, immediately
attacked that nefarious amend
ment to the constitution which
interferred with the personal con
duct of our people, prohibition.
That the American people knew
what they wanted, is attested by
the vote, state by state. We are
free at last to work out the best
solution for the handling of li
ouor.
Under the New Deal, the farm
er, backbone of the nation, has
been meted out economic justice.
We have long known that for
many years the farmer has been
throttled both by the middleman
and by the control of markets by
monied intereets. Under the New
Deal we have accepted the obllga- ■
tlon to sea, that the farmer receiv- j
rs his Just compensation for his
efforts. Over a million young
men out o# school and without
the steadying influence of work
have been sent Into the national
forests and public domain to do
a constructive Job. We " have
been amazed by the appalling
wave of crime that - h is *' swept
over the land during the past few
years. Statistcs prove that the
average age of these offenders
against society is twenty years.
By taking them off the streets,
out of the pool rooms and speek
easies, into a different environ
ment, they are learning the lesson
of life; to go back into civil life
as substantial and industrious
citizens who will ass'st materially
in maintaining organized society.
These are but a few of the glar
ing evils of our current economic
structure that are in process of
correction. I will Jiave ; more to
say about this in future articles..
In conclusion permit me to
state that in the future it is ex
tremely important that big busi
ness should never again be per
mitted to take as large a pcr’ent
age of national income for profits
as they have in the past; for if
the New Deal means anything, it
fneans subordination of capital
and property rights to human
rights.

THE CIVILIZED WAY
In savage tribes where skulls .
are thick and primal passions
rage, they have a system, sure
and Quick, to cure the blight of
age.
For when a native’s youth has
fled and years have taken h's pep
and vim, the savage Vaps him on
the head and puts an end to him.
But we, in this enlightened
age, are builtn of sterner stuff,
and so look with righteous rage
on deeds so harsh and rough.
For when a man grows old and
gray, w© simply take his Job away
and let h m starve to death.
