"We have rightly taken the position that in spite of the fact that economic adversity through these years might impose upon the youth of the country distressing and unavoidable burdens, the government owed it to the future of the nation to see that these burdens should not include the denial of educational opportunities for those who wore willing and ready to use them to advantage.

assess, ptd. sup. 167 04 75.00 50.00 S.40 TEXT OF ROOSEVELT'S WASHINGTON DAY TALK Philadelphia. Feb. 22 President Roosevelt's The text of Temple Uni- versity speech today: "I have just had bestowed upon me a twofold honor.

am honored in having been made an alumnus of Temple University; and I am honored in having had conferred upon me for the first time the degree of doctor of jurisprudence. "It is a happy coincidence that we should meet together to pay our respects to the cause of education on the birthday of the father of this nation. In his wise and kindly way George Washington deeply appreciated the importance of education in a republic and the responsibility of the government to promote it. Let this simple statement stand by itself without the proof of quotation. I say this lest, if I quoted excerpts from the somewhat voluminous writings and messages of the first President of the I'nited States, some captious critic might search the Library of Congress to prove by other quotations that George Washington was in favor of just the opposite! Therefore, on this anniversary of his birth I propose to break a century-old precedent.

I shall not quote from George Washington cn his birthday. "More than this, and breaking precedent once more, I do not intend to commence any sentence with these words 'If George Washington had been alive today' or If Thomas Jefferson had been alive today' or 'If Alexander Hamilton had been alive today or "If Abraham Lincoln had been alive today beyond peradventure of doubt he would have opposed or, perhaps favored etc' "Suffice it. therefore, to say what President Washington pointed out on many occasions and in many practical ways that a broad and cosmopolitan education in every stratum of society is a necessary factor in any free nation governed through a democratic, system. Strides toward this fundamental objective were great in the two or three earlier generations of the republic, but you and I well realize that the greatest development of general education has occurred in the past half century. "As literacy increases people become aware of the fact that government and society form essentially a co-operative relationship among citizens and the selected representatives of those citizens.

"When we speak of modern progress it seems to me that we place altogether too much emphasis upon progress in material things in invention, in industrial development, in growth of national wealth. "But progress in the things of the mind has been even more striking in these past 50 years. In my childhood a high school education was an exceptional opportunity for an American boy or girl; a college education was possible only to an exceedingly small minority. Professional schools had hardly come into existence. Since lf00, while the nation's population has increased by about 70 per cent, the enrollment in all branches of institutions of higher learning has increased about 4 0 per cent.

"At ihe beginning of this century the total enrollment in our colleges and universities was one student short of ICS.Ooft. "I think it is too bad they did not get that other one student if only to round out the number and ease the way for future statisticians. "Today well over a million students are seeking degrees in our colleges and universities and more than are enrolled in extension courses and summer schools. I think that we of Temple University am exercising my right now to speak as an alumnus can take special pride in the part that our institution here has taken in this growth. This institution has carried in practice the basic ideal of its great founder, the late Dr.

Russell H. Conwell. "He believed that every young person should be given a chance to obtain a good education and he founded Temple University to meet the needs of those who might not be able to afford a college education elsewhere. He believed that education should respond to community needs and fit itself into the many-sided and complex life that modern conditions have imposed upon us. "I shall watch with the keenest interest the working out of the plan recently adopted by Temple for carrying even further into practical application this guiding ideal.

I refer to the plan for forming an organization to be known as the 'Associates of Temple University, and to be composed of representatives of the various commercial, industrial, financial and professional interests of the community outside the university's walls. "As I understand it, this organization will be far more than a mere ad-isory body, set up to meet on special a n.i infrequent occasions and to draft recommendations of a general character. The 'Associates of Temple University' will be an integral and organic pact of the university's structure; the individual associates will have clearly defined duties and re sponsibilities, which they wnl carry out according to a definite routine, and their purpose will be to serve as the 'eyes and ears' of the university throughout the community, constantly alert to the changing social and economic needs, and continuously interpreting these needs to the university. "I am proud to be the head ot a government that has sought to make a substantial contribution to the cause of education, even in a period of economic distress. Through the various agencies, the government is helping educational institutions to add to their present equipment.

Since 1933 the government has made, through the various governmental agencies of the administration, allotments to local communities for schools, colleges and library buildings amounting to more than 5400,000.000. "We are also providing through the Works Progress Administration educational courses for thousands of I gTour.s of adults wherever there are competent unemployed teachers; and through the National Youth Admin- of modern civilized life than ever before in our history. And while the methods of spreading education are new. the lessons of education are eternal. The books may be new but the truth is old.

"The qualities of a true education remain what they were when Washington insisted upon its importance. "First among these qualities is a sense of fair play among men. "As education grows men come to recognize their essential dependence one upon the other. There is revealed to them the true nature of society and of government, which, in a large measure, culminates in the art of human co-operation. "The second great attribute of education is peculiarly appropriate to a great democracy.

It is a sense of equality among men when they are dealing with the things of the mind. Inequality may linger in the world of material things, hut great music, great literature and the wonders of science are and should be open to all. "Finally, a true education depends upon freedom in the pursuit of truth. Xo group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned. The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.

Genuine education is present only when the springs from which knowledge comes are pure. It is this belief in the freedom of written into our fundamental law and observed in our every day dealings with the problems of life, that distinguishes us as a nation. "In our ability to keep pure the sources of knowledge- in our mind's freedom to winnow the haff from the good tirain- in the even temper and in eahnness of our every day relationships in our willingness to face the tails of fact and tin of temporary emergencies in these lie our future and our needs all of idren's future.

Feb. 21. The state de- partment of financial institutions report today showed an increase of 000.000 in deposits for last December as against December, 1934. Four hundred and twenty-five state banks had f33o.36S.414 on deposit at the close of 1935. Deposits for 1935.

Director Richard A. McKinley said, were the largest reported in the last six years and represented an increase of S64.50O.Ott0 since the called report of June 30, 1933, the first after the bank holiday. JOB INSURANCE BILL OUTLINED A job insurance bill calculated to keep unemployment at a minimum by offering a reduced pay roll levy to the employer with a low labor turnover will be drawn by the joint legislative committee on social security, it was announced today. The committee, preparing legislation for the coming special session of the Legislature expected early in March, heard a six-point social security program advanced by 21 Indiana business and industrial organizations. Senator Walter Chambers, New-Castle, committee chairman, said most of the committee members were interested in suggestions made by two General Electric Co.

private pension plan experts that separate accounts be maintained for business and industrial concerns which so desired. The question of what percentages of the pay roll tax contributions of both employer and employe should be diverted to a general state pool was not decided definitely. Most of the committee members, it was said, favored only a small part of the pay roll tax assessments going to the benefit of the frequently unemployed. One committee spokesman said: "If we offer a reduced pay roll levy as an inducement to stabilize employment, we are less likely to have recurrent labor upheavals, which would mean a heavy drain on the unemployment fund. Unless an attractive rate is offered the employer who makes an honest effort to stabilize his employment, we are sure to have a group of the more unscrupulous employers making raids on the unemployment fund." Organizations joining in the six-point protrram suggested to the committee included: Indiana Bakers' Association.

Associated Retailers of Indiana. Indiana Bankers' Association, Indianapolis Association of Credit Men, Indianapolis Water Indiana Bell Telephone Lincoln National Lite Insurance National Retail Hardware Association. Indiana Coal Trade Association, Indiana Manufacturers' Association and the following i Chambers of Commerce. Hammond, Muncie. a Indianapolis, Crawfordsviilr-.

Columbus, Anderson, Elkhart and Indiana State. The committee proposals included: 1. If unemployment compensation legislation is enacted, the individual employer reserve type of fund with merit rating be adopted. 2. That the employers' tax for 1936, 1937 and 1P3S be no more than to enable Indiana employers to receive full credit on the Federal unemployment compensation tax.

3. That employes be required to contribute to the reserve fund in an amount equal to the employer's contribution. 4. Inclusion in exempted classes of Federal, state and local government employes who are engaged in public service enterprises in direct competition with private industry. 5.

That administration of unemployment insurance be entrusted to a bipartisan board consisting of two members from each major political party, serving staggered terms, and that the law provide for a merit system for selection, promotion and dismissal of all employes from the director down. (J fKt BOOK ON "A World of Comfort 4 fi. That provision be made for making the state law immediately inoperative if the Federal law is declared unconstitutional or if Congress repeals the law. All proposals were made on the conditions of "if a compensation law is enacted." The program suggested that $2,500 be the maximum salary on which an employe pay roll tax be levied.

AND VICE VERSA Indianapolis Tinif-s. Tlionias Jefferson was shocked and alarmed when the parly of Alexander Hamilton, in office and responsible for the state of the nation, decided the Constitution was broad enoiic-h permit siahlishmont of a national bank. ievv cars laicr office and responsible, decided the Constituiion was broad eiiouch to let him purchase the Louisiana Uerritory, thousrh it made no mention of such powers. Hamilton's followers were so upset over this and other "infringement of state riclits" that they he. can talking, in New England, of secession from the Union.

When the second bank of the United States was being established by the party of Jefferson, Daniel Webster of Massachusetts was denouncing nationalism and shouting for state sovereignty. John C. Calhoun of South Carolina was advocating broad construction of the Constitution. Twenty years later Webster was the greatest advocate of nationalism the I'nited States had seen at that time and Calhoun was extreme in his support of state rights. The Democratic Party, in power in the years before the Civil War, found one justification after another for adding to the territory of the United States, though no words in the Constitution permitted this.

Xor was there any sanction for internal improvements, yet Jefferson Davis himself, as Secretary of War under Tierce, proposed construction of a southern transcontinental railroad. Democrats had been assailing the Supreme Court as a usurper of constitutional powers until it handed down the Dred Scott decision. Then Stephen A. Douglas began denouncing any one who at tacked the court, and Abraham Lincoln beenn s.i5ng that this decision mtit not stand. After the Civil War it was who centralized and Democrats v.

h.i viewed with alarm until Cleveland became President, lie helped put the Interstate Commerce Act on the statute books and sent Federal troops to quell the Pullman strike while a Republican governor shouted his protest. Roosevelt the first took a broad view of the Constitution and Democrats, once more on the outside, howled about unconstitutionality, usurpation of functions, and the danger of tyranny. But very soon thereafter Woodrow Wilson became President and fathered a whole brood of laws extending the power of the Federal government over commerce. Republican outrage was silent only during the war. By 1P20 that party's platform was talking about the Despot's plea of necessity or superior wisdom." Then for 12 years, while the Republicans were in and the centralization trend continued, the Democrats again viewed with alarm.

And now, as we go into the fourth year of Democratic incumbency, we heaT the Republicans talking as Democrats used to talk and vice versa. But the "outs" are savinc the same thing "outs" always have said and the "ins" likewise..
