DOAK'S APPOINTMENT
Although the appointment of
William N. Doak to the portfolio
of the Secretary of Labor may have,
settled for a short time a rather
delicate problem, it casts another{
shadow on the rapidly darken-
ing political horizon of President
Hoover and his Republican pro-
ponents.
Thernew Secretary'sthistory to
date reads much like the Horatiol
Alger story. He has risen from en-
gineer to a position in the Cabinet
of the United States and is vice-
president of the Trainmen's Union
of 'America.
But the very fact of his connec-
tion with the railroad unions may
be the cause of considerable trouble j
to the president. It may mean, and
probably does, the loss of the sup-
port of the American Federation of
Labor, a vast organization of 105
distinct unions comprising in their
membership more than 3,000,000
men of all classes and nationalities.
A group of this size can not be
toyed with and may be of consider-
able influence in any coming elec-
tion, especially in the light of the
returns of the recent contests.
William Green, president of the
Federation, stated that the organ-
ization had "never entertained the'
slightest thought" of opposing Mr.
Doak's nomination after he had
been formally named by President
Hoover but there is a veiled, al-
though nevertheless an apparent,
threat in the statement that the
incident was "closed for the pres-
ent at least."

THE TAX BOOST
President Hoover's message to
Congress, followed by a very sub-
stantial boost in the income tax
rate, reiterates the administration's
stand that the business depression
is only temporary and that every
possible means is being used to
dissolve the "fear" complex which
seems to have gripped the nation.
The tax boost isn't really a boost,
but a mere return to the old stand-
ards, lowered last year when An-
drew Mellon announced one of the
largest surpluses in the history of
the treasury.
Newspapers in various sections of
the country viewed President Hoov-
er's message to Congress with
differing opinions, although the
majority were unanimous in their
contention that the plans for' re-
moving the depression were "en-
gineer-like and very much to the
point." Only a few of the Demo-
cratic papers saw nothing but evil
and "wishy-wash" in the message.
The rest were even kinder than
usual.
The tax boost, one of the best
and perhaps the only effective
method for raising the nation's
revenue, came at the same time
that a four billion dollar budget
was proposed by the President. In
the clauses of the budget, provi-
sions were made for millions of
dollars worth of national building
projects which will relieve the un-
employment situation immeasur-
ably. The sudden outflow of more
than half a billion dollars for build-
ing in Washington has given the
necessary impetus which will start
the ball rolling toward brighter
business days, experts say. The tax
boost is, therefore, as necessary to
the success of the venture as gaso-
line to an automobile.
The nation's savings accounts
are one-third larger this year than
they were in 1929. People have beenf
keeping their resources in the saf-
est place for fear of losing whatt
little they may have saved from
stock crashes, business failures, and
insolvent investments. Merchantst
say that no one is spending be-t
cause everyone is afraid of thet

George Arliss, who is probably
the greatest and certainly the most
colorful character actor of our
time, appears in one of the best
interpretations, "Old English," at
tthe Michigan.
The story is that of a gloriously
unprincipled old man, who has
lived all his life with the aim of
enjoying himself to the utmost
limit that his constitution and his
sense of humor will permit. When
his freedom, which he prizes above
all else, is endangered, he decides

for a "laugh." I refer, of course
to the highly sacriligious cover
which appeared on the December
"Michigan Gargoyle."
Goodness knows, I am nothing
if not tolerant. But, when it comes
to crudely burlesquing the Book of
Books, and especially the Sacred
Story of Jesus, I cannot refrain
from protesting.
The Good Book makes no refer-
ence to the idea that the wise men
were "bibulous visionaries," as they1
are termed in The Daily's story,
and as the "Gargoyle" cover hints.
