But if Roosevelt is to be replaced by a Re-j publican, we demand, as every American citizen .should, that he tell us how he will do better. That he is quiet and common and homey and that he is a constitutional budget balancer are not enough. A Radio Station For Awn Arbor. . I T IS GOOD to hear that plans are being pushed by three different groups of business men for the establishment of a local radio station. Ann Arbor and the University have long needed such an instrument as a radio station for further- ing the civic and cultural activities. A station as is now proposed would, we understand, donate time to the city and to the University for broad- casts. The plan would in no way conflict with the University broadcasts from Morris Hall which are put on the air by WJR, a Detroit station. Under the present system, since time on such a power- ful station as WJR is very valuable, the Univer- sity broadcasts must, of necessity, be restricted in scope. By means of a local station, lectures, concerts, and programs now enjoyed by only a part of the University community, would be available to a much larger number. The city would give greater breadth to the various local events which are cer- tainly of interest to students and people in the outlying districts. Establishment of a station will eliminate one of the most noticeable gaps in the facilities of the University and Ann Arbor.

Landon And Budgets To the Editor: I NIGHT EDITOR: ROBERT WEEKS 1 YO~ip 1 He Calls His Wife 'Moter'.. .. A LFRED MOSSMAN LANDON, the .Kansas governor who balanced his budget because he had to, is a potential men- ace to the nation. Every indication from Cleveland points to his choice by the Republican National Convention as the G.O.P. Presidential nominee. Chances are that no Republican candidate has a chance of be- ing elected, so large is the Roosevelt support shown by preferential primaries and national polls, but I if one should, and if Governor Landon should be that nominee, it would be, to our mind, nothing short of a calamity, The Daily has nothing against Governor Lan- don except his backers and his apparent lack of What It Takes. But the very fact that his nom- ination is being pushed by such forces of dark- ness and reaction as William Randolph Hearst and the American Liberty League, to say nothing of Malcolm W. Bingay's Detroit Free Press, makes us opposed to him. And Governor Landon's personal qualifications for the gigantic task that will confront the next President .of the United States are three, best summed up like this: 1. He has ru Kansas on a balanced budget, as yesterday's Daily pointed out the constitution required that he do. 2. He frequently eats in the kitchen. 3. He calls his wife "mother." (These last two tending to prove that Landon 'is a nice quiet, common and homey man, qualities that his backers naively insist should entitle any man to the Presidency). But aside from these somewhat assets, as noble as they are, we fail to see that Governor Landon is qualified to become Chief Executive of this nation. The administration of the State of Kan- sas for the past four years has been no shining example of efficiency, initiative, liberalism and executive ability. The Kansas government has been far from the worst it is granted, but in look- ing over the concrete accomplishments of Gov- ernor Landon, what do we find: State services, including school aid, cut to the point of inadequacy. Relief reduced to the ex- tent that the jobless haveibeen forced to indig- nant protest. General taxes reduced, but the re- duction made up for by indirect taxes, levied chiefly on lower income groups, despite the fact that the state now has a useless and needless surplus. The task of running an agricultural state is far different from running a great nation. Dif- ferent and far more difficult. If Governor Lan- don wants to become President, and there is no doubt that he does, let him announce in quiet, common and homey and specific language just what he would do if he got the job. What, for instance, does Governor Landon pro- pose to do about unemployment? He has an- nounced that "there is no future on the relief roll," and that relief should be above politics. What of it? He is for social security, but against the present Social Security Act. He is against government in business. He thinks the Roosevelt administra- tion has retarded recovery. And about foreign affairs, he thinks we should reread Washington's Farewell Address, for while the world has changed since Washington's time, "common sense is still common sense.", Again we say: What of it? In all the pro-Lan- don literature and in all Landon speeches there There have been articles and editorials in The Daily attempting to belittle the budget balancing accomplishments of Gov. Alfred M. Landon on the grounds that the existence of a Kansas law made any other result impossible. The Constitution of the United States set down certain hmitations on the admnistration of the nation but that did not seem to keep President Roosevelt in check. When he and the New Deal- ers found the Constitution a bit restraining they pushed it aside and went on their dreamy way with the country paying the price. That path was open to Gov. Landon but, significantly, he did not pursue it. Credit is due him for not say- ing what a New Dealer would have said: "This is a different day and I do not have to abide by the law." The beaten path to Topeko is evidence that people still have faith in Constitutions and those who abide by them. Gov. Landon did more than promise economy, more than set up a balanced budget. He saw that it was carried out. Under his management Kansas had a surplus at the end of each year. A hundred thousand laws can not create a surplus. That comes from competent financial adminis- tration and nothing else. Further, there was no law compelling him to make the reduction in the state debt which he did. And it was his law which required some 8,000 political subdivi- sions to balance their budgets. As to these coun- ties, school boards and the like, he did more than have a law passed. He sat down with the various county officials and showed them how to accom- plish what the statute intended. Now look at the Roosevelt record for the sane period. After promising economy he set up an unbalanced budget calling for a deficit and when the financial year closed there was a still larger deficit. The New Dealers could not carry out even an unbalanced budget. I have never heard of a self-executing law or a self-executing budget (as the anti-Landonites imply there is) but if there is a political scientist who knows of a budget that can be carried out, not through competent administration, but by some inner power of its own, he had better rush down to Washington be- cause the New Dealers are certainly in need of such a miracle. How any one can say that a Governor who led his state and 8,000 governmental units within it in carrying out balanced budgets so that sur- pluses were not merely Jan. 1 hopes but Dec. 31 actualities is a fake at budget balancing, is beyond normal comprehension. There may be a few professors and editorial writers who find it beyond academic understanding to distinguish between a legislative intention and an accomplished fact, between a promise and a record, between a hope and an actuality but there is a vast number of common sensed taxpayers who can see and who are seeing the distinction and it is they who are beating the path to Topeka. -I.J.M. Military Training To the Editor: Yesterday appeared a very interesting article in this column called "Be Prepared." If you haven't read it, do so. If you have failed to understand the vital point that is made there, ask yourself whether you would hire a doctor to care for you who hadn't spent years in train- ing for that responsibility, or a lawyer who didn't know the law and had never been in court, to de- fend you in an action for heavy damages. In short, would you ask someone to do an im- portant job for you if you were not certain that he was well qualified to handle it? I think not.

Beside him was the pride of Detroit's exclusive seminary for young girls. Those who know Don can imagine the conversation, but only an eye witness couldy have appreciated his expression a moment later when the high stepping Mullison animal that was pulling the pair, 'bolted at the sight of a tobog- gan dragging behind the car which Don was gaily waving at.c The bit in his determined teeth, the Millera steed started down the long hill towards the Huron, the back of his galloping rump obscured! from view now and then as a blue hood bounced up and down and a strange voice pleaded with the horse to "Whoa, boy. Stop. Nice Boy. Whoa! Back at the Mullison livery, the two snow- covered figures were attempting to explain away! a smashed cutter and a badly-injured horse with the true story that the horse got frightened and ran away. The taciturn Mrs. Mullison surveyed Don from head to foot, then, "You knew it was a spiritedf horse, and you said you could manage him." "Yes," countered the subtle satirist, but when a horse gets scared-" "Mr. Miller," broke in the, proprietress, "when a man says he can handle a horse, he can handle him under any conditions.I The cutter will cost you five dollars.",, * * * * DANNY HULGRAVE, last year's affable grid manager, returned to Ann Arbor yesterday with another new La Salle and a swell coat of tan. Dan, who forsook the U for a trip to Cali- fornia and a box seat for the Santa Anita handi- cap last February, plans to vacation in summert school and then return for the fall semester to enjoy the football season while his protege, Billt Bates, takes over the business of handling theI helmets.I The ex-keeper of the Wampum had a pretty1 tough time of it on the coast, spending a couple1 of weeks in the hospital while the scales weret balancing. They finally decided to give Dan the break over a nasty strep infection, and after a long period on crutches, Junior Hulgrave pulled through. Dapper Dan, whose amiable personalityt casts its influence over people like a broad grin, will be back in the fold come the fall.

Arrayed in the hooded capes of Zeta Psi; Al Dewey, Dick Hinks, and Don SmithI joined the seniors in their march around thet campus yesterday afternoon and appeared to take as much interest in things as any bona fide mem- ber of the class of '36. The procession was lead by Russ Runquist, one of the most thoroughly popular and likeable pres- idents the senior class has had in a long time, Bill Dixon, past president of the Men's Council, and Jack O'Connell of Druid fame, but the award for heroic conduct during Swingout goes to the senior medic who parked his wife and little girl on the outskirts of the crowd, chucked his wee urchin under the chin and then galloped off to join in the ceremonies while mama watched the baby carriage. As Others See It__ Flotper Pots (From The Sidney Review, a British Columbia Weekly) THE flower pots of Sidney now on exhibition Are gay with bright tulips and pleasant to see They are cut and artistic, compel admiration, An original asset as you will agree Just as soon as you see them you'll say goody- goody! Farewell Buchart Gardens and Beacon Hill Park! No more I'll feel lonesome, o'nights going homesome The flower pots will guide me safe home in the dark. a year's preparation, under those circumstances? Again, I think not. Yes, you're right, I'm suggesting that we have +a large and well trained army. Also I suggest that every citizen be taught the fundamentals of combat in some particular branch of the service and given an opportunity to practice his learning in camps, much as we do now, only more so. You will say that if we had such a large army we would be inclined to go and fight someone.' I agree with you. However, it seems to me that that could be prevented by limiting the activities of such an organization to continental United States, except by popular vote of the people. Or you may contend that such an extensive mil- itary program would be quite expensive. Military history has shown repeatedly that unpreparedness has cost many times the expense of real prepared- ness in both lives and money. DRAMA The Distaff Side A Review By C. HART SCHAAF "THE DISTAFF SIDE," which opened last night at the Mendel- ssohn, tells a warm little tale about several women who find that, when it comes to love, the old-fashioned' one-man way is best. This theme is as ancient as the hills, and probably as true; and in Playwright John Van Druten's lit- erate hands it becomes, by virtue of apt, fresh lines and amiable charac- ters, a completely winning statement of the monogamist philosophy. More 1 than this, it becomes a completely winning play. The cast of The Distaff Side is ex- cellent; and, in spite of a few first- night hitches, managed last night, in- dividually and collectively, to turn in first-rate performances. Blanche Yurka, Estelle Winwood, and Effiee Shannon were quite up to the rating of "star." Alan Handley had the audience in the palm of his hand, particularly in the prophylactic scene. Frances Esmond brought an expert touch to the stock character of an apologetic old maid. It is safe to predict, I believe, that The Distaff Side will be remembered as the most pleasant and satisfying play in the 1936 Season. The Daily ends its year with the issue of next Sunday morning, mak- ing this the last review of the cur- rent Henderson festival which we will be able to publish. A few words on the season in general are therefore in order. The function of critic, as the namel implies, is more to condemn than to praise, It is sad but true that, while1 nobody likes to be told why he ought to enjoy a play, almost everybodyI takes sadistic delight in seeing plays, authors, casts, and directors torn tot shreds and salt rubbed into the wounds. Further than this, almost every play that ever has been pro- duced has had its defects, and the, honest critic is compelled, according to his lights to point them out. , Thus, when I have seen things in the Henderson plays which, for oneI reason or another, I have considered bad, I have said so. We of The1 Daily would like the campus to be- lieve that when we are called upon to appraise, our appraisals are hon- est. What I would not like anyone to1 believe, however, is that I have been critical of the season generally, or of what it seeks to accomplish, or of the unflagging industry which Robert Henderson and his associates spend each year in bringing to usC our annual taste of professional theatre. Among the smaller campus cities of America, I believe we in Ann Arbor due to Mr. Henderson get the most, and the best foreign theatre. I would like to end the 1936 Daily reviews by; thanking Mr. Henderson again for what this means to all of us. Adaptability Is Cited As Cause For Marriages Young People Have Lost Fears Of Depression In Last Year, She Believes The increase in marriages in 1935 was attributed by Mildred A. Val- entine of the sociology department and case consultant of the Family Welfare Bureau, to the fact that youth by now has become accustomed to depression conditions. Therefore the economic status of young people is no longer a valid excuse for pro- crastination or fear of marriage. Miss Valentine based her statement upon her interpretation of statistics recently released by the Michigan Department of Health which showed more than a 2,000 increase in mar-' riages in 1935 over 1934. But the 1934 figure indicated an increase of more than 1,000 marriages over the preceding year. Similarly there has been an in- crease in divorces which can be at- tributed to the same reason as the increase in marriages, Miss Valentine said. The year of the low in di- vorces was shown to be 1933, when the depression was asserting itself in earnest. Miss Valentine explained that this was proof of the sociological principle that in a period of common danger the primary group is drawn together. A further reason for this decrease in divorces may well rest in the fact that divorces were an ex- pensive luxury which could not be afforded, Miss Valentine asserted. Divorces last year totaled 10,846 compared with 45,313 marriages, a ratio of four marriages to each di- vorce. But Miss Valentine warned that these figures can not be inter- preted to mean that four couplesl married in 1935 maintained their blissful state and one couple split. The great majority of divorces oc- curring in 1935 were the culmina- tion of marriages two or more years before 1935, it was explained.
