Receipts totaled $4,115,956,615, • The deficit thus came to the neat sum of $4,763,841,642. We have been spending two dollars for every dollar received in taxes. ■ • At the end of June, the total Federal debt (a mortgage on all our earnings and property) reached the record figure of $38,779,000,000, It is continuing to grow, and coming years must witness further deficits, entirely aside from whatever party is in power, in the view of authorities. To quote Mr. •Mallon directly, “If either Mr. Roosevelt or Governor Landon is able to balance the budget next, year he will need magical powers,” This indicates, how grave a problem the nation faces in its fiscal policy. The problem will never be solved through poli­ tics, Men high in both parties continually give their approval 5to spending policies which further distort the budget. It can be solved only by a statesmanlike approach, in which intelligent cooperation takes the place of rancor, and honest discussion the place of stump speeches. The public must demand that the budget be balanced as soon as possible* It must demand that every economy be effected, and that every dollar spent give a good account of itself. It must demand that a systematic program for reducing the public debt be adopted. - Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, the problem is your problem. It strikes at your pocketbook, and your future —to say nothing of your childreii’s future.

X enialron&M etal Co. 17 Cincinnati A m Xania, Ohio The auditor of Hamilton county brings to light just what the automo­ bile driver’s license law really means to that county, When the law was passed it was the expectation that the fee the driver must pay would go to the. county in which it was issued. It is claimed that 400,000 drivers will be licensed in Hamilton county alone, this would mean $00,000 to the. county if the fees went to the county fund. Now it developes that thu Davey adminis­ tration is to name a lot of deserving democrats to issue the licenses and pocket the fees. This same rule to apply to every county in the state. The constitution provides that the county in auditor is the proper author­ ity for collection of state taxes yet here is an open breach of trust in naming party followers to collect taxes in the way of license fees and pocket the profit, rather than have the fees turned into the treasury of c-ath county in Ohio. Another citation of the sham and deception of the New Deal. Within a. few days every one who drives an automobile from grandpa and grandma down to Bessie and Charley must cough up forty cents for ehcli license. If six in the family drive the car, each must con­ tribute to Democratic prosperity at the rate of forty cents a head.- ■If the constitution and law are-as pointed out by the Hamilton County Auditor it is time some prosecuting attorney enjoined the collection of the driver’s license fee as illegal under the Pavdy plan. 1If the license law is to stand the test there should be a movement to force the issuance of licenses through the office of the county auditor where the fees would go into the county funds, instead of some politician's pocket. While you are forced to take driv­ er’s license,under a state Democratic law to filch forty cents out of each driver’s pocket, to “make the high­ way safe” you get no htsu|aincfc against the drunken driver that brings death and destruction not only to him­ self and those with him but. also to the innocent that happen to get in liis way. A .few days ago a party of four or five ail were badly injured on a through road When the car be­ ing driven at. a high rate .of speed hit a bridge. All were taken to a hospital where one died. Hospital bills are paid out of gasoline tax funds by the Highway Department, at the expense of the motorists of the state. Gasoline and speed are bad enough but gasoline and Roosevelt liquor will collect the toll in, highway deaths, injury to the innocent and property damage. For some weeks the air will be filled with all sorts of political speeches but for demogogcry a speech over the air Monday night by Ruben Garland, can' didate for attorney general before the primary in Georgia, takes all honors. Garland opened his radio address by an appeal for support of Roosevelt in terms that-would convince the writers of the King James version of the Bible that un .omission -had been made by leaving out the name of Franklin, Then Ruben boastfully informed his radio audience what he would do elected and that would be to wipe out the sale of liquor in “Geor-g-i-n.” He pictures what liquor had done for the state in forcing the scarlet ladies on decent society and men and women re­ duced to rags and disgrace. He would force the guilty to plead guilty and force the murders and gangsters in the liquor business to leave the state and guarantee peace and protection from the murders, thieves and gang­ sters. He would demand of the legia lature and write a law for passage that would stand in any court, from the lowest to the highest, to illegalize liquor and restore .the honor and dignity that for generations has been due the state of “Geor-g-i-a,” Ruben in his passionate appeal for support failed to inform residents of his state that it was Franklin Roosevelt that forced liquor on Georgia as well os other states to get federal revenue for Democratic prosperity, irrespect­ ive of what the states wanted. The South has always boasted of prohibi­ tion but traded its ideql for Demo- ratic victory a t the polls. A . B . C . O / T A X E S BY BBRT FOSTBR THE BABY'S LEGACY E VERY baby born in the United States in 19SQ inherits a debt of $420—his or her share of the public debt, federal and local of 63 billion dollars. By the time it is fully paid, with interest, that le­ gacy of debt will call for the pay­ ment of at least $840. There is no escape from the un­ pleasant fact that the pablic debt it a first mortgage on the property and earnings of every man, woman and child in the nation.. And there is no way for you to escape paying your share of that mortgage. PIGS CAN’T VOTE HERALDWANTANDSALEADSPAT Senator Burke, Nebraska, resigns as State Democratic Chairman, as well as National Committeeman, from that state, due to the fact as he-says he cannot go along with t h / Roosevelt program of Communism/ His great: est concern is the future of his party. The announcement followed the visit of the nation's first “pickstickcr” to Nebraska last week. To add fuel to the flames of internal party division over Communistic policy the Omaha World Herald, for the first time in more than fifty years, renounces the Deftiocratic nominee and,will openly support Landon for president. This news to New Dealers all breaks fol­ lowing the "drought crusade,” which is looked upon the western states as vote buying excursion. When Ohio’s leading publisher, head of the but- standing Democratic daily takes the platform before business organiza­ tions, to advocate London’s election, there must bo a screw-loose among the New Dealer nuts ki Washington, (PuUuld Enterprise, Mound Oily, HI.) An old darkey is said to have made the following wise crack after listen­ ing to a tall story: “You know I can’t read and I can’t write and all I know is what folks tell me, and if they don’t telt me what’s so, I don't know any­ thing.” A good many people only know what is going on from reading the newspapers. Well, if they reed enough, they know a great deal. Read­ ing the news as it appears in the papers gives one a liberal education in many ways. ' Take the condition of the country for instance, and who is not interested in knowing about that? Its political and financial problems of late are of interest to most of us. Well, what do we really know, about it from what we read in the papers? In 1932 we read the Democratic platform. That suit­ ed most of us. We read that it suited Mr. Roosevelt and he was elected to: carry it out and said he would.- That is what we knew, because we read i t jn the papers. Next, we read there was to be a war on the depression and it was to be banished worthwith. Well, has any­ body heard of any victory over the depression? There were many gen­ erals appointed (who never command­ ed anything before), many aides! who never aided anyone before),, to direct the large army which was assembled, but they do not seem to have met the enemy. They were always putting the saddle on the wrong horse and getting thrown off. It would seem they could not win a dog fight even if they owned both dogs. They have partially suc­ ceeded by vurious tactics in taking farming, business, and banking under their control, but what that has to do with licking the depression we have not found out. Their army strategy seems to be centered'in trying to find the depression; iif found, they might drag it before a Senate Committee and, when thus cornered and sur­ rounded by the Army, make faces a t it arid call it names. Well, so fa r nothing we have road about has happened. President Roose­ velt did not carry out the platform. Everything has been different from what we read it was going ’ to be.' Debts and taxes are rising like dust clouds; the unemployed are still un­ employed, except those in the Wash­ ington army. Now do we know What we have read about the State of the Nation, or are we in the same posi­ tion that the colored man was, even if we can rend and write? We read more. We read that the President is laughing and having a fine time. Well, maybe there is a joke somewhere, the President is en­ joying the proceedings so much. At leitst, he is having a fine time, so much ro that, his reception room rings with hearty laughter. It may be like the American joke the Englishman did not quite grasp. He heard that a man by the name of Strange had bought c lot in the cemetery and put up a large monument without anything on the monument. When his friends ask­ ed if he did not intend to have his name engraved on it and a proper epitaph, he said, “Certainly not; I do not want anything on It, because when people go by and see nothing on it they will say, “Thatls Strange!” Ttys Englishman undertook to tell the story, but forgot the ban ’s name and said that the man put up a monument without anything on it so that whet) people went by and looked a t it they would say, “Isn't that funny!” I t would be strange if the President' did not get some fun out of the whole performance, but we don’t see .how he gets so much with the serious prospects confronting the country—•in­ creased/ unemployment, increased taxes, unrest and uncertainty growing —everything different from what we expected when he was elected. Of course, it is not his fault if he does not know how to straighten everything out the way it should be, is the fault of congress, There is ere the brains of the country are !oertiod, and perhaps being able to get this wise government body to let him try anything in where the fun comes in. If what he does works, he gets the credit; if i t does not, congress takes the blame, as far as he is con­ cerned. The people ou&ht to elect, a new congress if the prdsent one does not represent them, but congress is too smart to let them do it. Congress does kftow how to get re-elected, and that is not strange. They let the President have enough of our money to spend, so he can be re-elected and they expect to ride along with him, They say our money was spent to make jobs for the unemployed and provide for those on relief, but the number grew faster than the money was spent, so the more unemplpyed, the more money to spend and the more money to spend, the more on re­ lief. This sounds like the old Iowa adage, “We will raise-more corn to feed more pigs, so we will have to raise more corn.” Hqwever, pigs can’t vote, so it is all right to kill the pigs; but the unemployed and those on relief can vote, so why worry if the number increases ? Now is that strange, or is it just funny ? We read that our farmers are being encouraged to raise lees, hut at the same time millions in foodstuff, such as com, oats, wheat, blitter, meat'pro-' ducts, wool, etc., lire being imported. This may be one reason why our farm­ ers have not been getting a satis­ factory price1 for what they raise. Un­ less something is done about this, the less our farmers raise, the less, per­ haps, they will get for what they do raise. 'Now doea this make sense, or is it just one more blunder? We read that this money the gov-* ernment is spending was secured largely from the banks, who .used our bank deposits to buy'the bonds from the government. If it is ever paid back, we will have to furnish the gov­ ernment with the money to do it by way of taxes; so we wifi be taxed to pay otf a large part of the government debt to get our own money back from the banks. Of course, the government might print some money and pay the banks that way, but what would such money be worth?- No doubt some of us need help. With so many people in the country, there will always be some of us need­ ing help, perhaps more now than ever. However, there must be a,screw loose somewhere, because it does not 'seem reasonable to-have to take a four year’s course under college professors and brain trusters and still not arrive a t any reasonable or practical way of solving our problems. Do you remember when you were window shopping and did hot know just what you wanted o r whether i t would be what you wanted if you did get it? You remember seeing a sign on a hook in the ^ window reading “Smile, damn you.” You laughed, didn’t you ? Then you-went in and bought what you did not want. Well; it seems to us that reading the poli­ tical new in the papers from now on will be like looking in shop windows. We will be told whom to vote for and if we con be kept laughing and be­ lieving all the President says he is going to do if he is re-elected, and for­ get about what he said he was going to do before he was elected last time, we may be tempted to vote, for him again. Perhaps, when reading what he is going to do, we won’t need- another education. Perhaps when we go to shop this fall we will, look more carefully. We may not want to laugh. Experience is a great teacher. * Perhaps as this is considered the richest and most resourceful country on the face of the earth and we are looked up to as such, we should have somebody as president with an aristo­ cratic name, with a family that is out­ standing and very popular, and having sufficient finances of his own to main­ tain city and country homes—in other words, somebody who can put up a front, look grand, and talk. Perhaps —why read more? Now that we are being given the opportunity again to pick > out something in the window, shouldn’t we pick out something that is serviceable and that we can afford to buy? Aren’t we juBt. disgusted enough with this army of failures, coached by professors, maintained by patronage, and headed for pauperism, to vote for just a common man of unquestioned integrity, with common sense enough to know what the country needs, and with enough experience to know how to get it?
