“The thoroughgoing cure for the

soundly conceived program of ac

place of the insane ravings of the
Hearst mouthpiece at Omaha would
be refreshing.

With the somewhat extended name.
Prohibition and Law Enforcement
Monthly, the new paper for Holt
county has been launched. The name
of J. I. Elrod appears as temporary
editor. The place of publication is
Atkinson. Its mission in the journal
istic field is readily comprehended
from the title. Much of its value as
• means of promoting temperance and
inspiring respect for law is lost be
cause it can’t be read. It is done on
one of the modern inefficient machines
that is made to sell but not to print.
Attacks on the President by men of
position and standing, charging Mi.
Hoover with the responsibility for the
•lump in business and employment
might be considered by some as ignor
ance, but it is probably an attempt to
shift the blame to other shoulders.
Mr. Hearst, one of the most abusive,
is capable of helping the situation
some himself, but his best effort so
far seems to be such windy statements
as “the Hoover depression" and “the
Hoover black panic." Those who have
ladge holdings and employ many men
are in a far better position to relieve i
the price and employment condition4
than anyone else. They brought the;
condition on but now they do nothing
but complain because the federal gov
ernment does not perform miracles.
A man has just recently been re
leased from the Nebraska penitentiary
after serving nearly two years for n
bank robbery he did not commit. He,
being the victim of circumstances wa
caught in the ahadew of suspicion, and
was convicted by the means of positive
identification by people who had only
a fleeting glimpse of the robber. Th»?
method of convicting people of a crime
is nothing short of childish, or per
haps it is even too crude to be called
childish. It seems strange that people
•who forget close friends should get up
up in court and make such story book
statements as, "1 shall never forget
that face.” The method of sending
men to prison on identification with
the help of public opinion, that some
one must suffer for a crime whether
guilty or not, does not exactly fit in
with our idea of civilization. A de
scription of a robber is useful as n
means of finding suspects to get con
crete evidence against, but that is u
bout the limit of its usefulness.
Why France Is Rich
Premier Laval, head of the French
government, gives some of the reasons
why France is prosperous.
“France,” he says, “has remained
agricultural despite her tremendous
industrial development and commerci
al expansion. Diversified agriculture
never knows depression.
“France has a tariff barrier design
ed to protect both farmer ar.d manu
facturer.
“France exercises careful control of
immigration and limits foreign work
ers to the French trades where they
are needed.. • : u •.
"France wielded the economy axe
in 1926, when all spending depart
ments of the government found their
funds slashed by decree."
All of which sounds very much like
the Hoover plan for making America
prosperous.

before us purposes which are as noble

church? Where did the Golden Rule

IMPORTANT TAX FACTS
The Republican party took over the
government from the Wilson admin
istration March 4, 1921.
At that time the public debt was
$26,000,000,000. In eleven years of
Republican administration that debt
was reduced to $16,000,000,000, an
average reduction of nearly a billion
a year. By reduction of the debt
along with refunding operations the
annual interest charge was reduced
from a billion to less than 700 million
dollars a year. At the same time that
it was making these enormous re
ductions in the public debt the Re
publican party revised taxes down
ward four times, in 1921, 1924, 1926
and 1928.
In order that the duty of reducing
the public debt might not be lost sight
of, Congress provided that a certain
sum must be set apart each year as
a sinking fund—to pay the debt on
the installment plan. Durinlg the
prosperous years, from 1921 to 1929,
the government did what any prosper
ing debtor would do, doubled its an
nual debt installment payments. If
this had not been done, if we had paid
merely the amount each year that the
sinking fund actually called for, we
would have accumulated a surplus
during the past nine years of $2,200,
000,000.
With the above facts in mind the
Treasury statements showing that by
the close of this fiscal year the deficit
may be something like 2 billion dollars
does not seem so appalling. In spite
of this huge deficit we will still be!
more than a billion dollars ahead of
sinking fund requirements.
Another fact always to be borne in
mind is that this deficit is due, not to
extravagant government expenditures
as critics of the Administration have
tried to make it appear, but to the
decline in government revenues re
sulting from the business situation.
Receipts from the income tax, for
example, have fallen from $2,000,000,
! 000 which we collected theree years
j ago, to about $850,000,000. If govern
i ment revenues had been maintained
at the figure returned under the first
year of the 1928 revision there would
have been no deficit.
Labor's Tariff Stand
Internationalist sentiment for buy
ing abroad is largely responsible for
i talk that “our tariffs are too high”
| and “our foreign trade is being
I throttled.”
Such arguments are silly. “The Pro- j
I gressive Labor World,” organ of the
American Federation of Labor, very*
sensibly sums up the situation edit
orially as follows
“Goods of equal attractiveness, e
qual charm, equal utility are turned
out in large quantities by American
producers. But they can’t be bought
quite so cheaply. American manu
facturers pay their hands anywhere
from five to ten times as much money
for a day’s york as workers of the
same trade are paid abroad. So that
even with a tariff levy fixed on these
foreign wares to prevent them from
driving American-made articles of the
same grade out of the American mar
ket, American good cost the consumer
a few cents more.
“Where is the campaign that should
be organized and functioning here to
encourage the buying of goods made
in the United States?
“Every dollar that is spent on Am
erican-made goods goes to keep the
American factory open, to provide
employment for American workers,
and to defend the American wage
scale »nd t*>e American standard of
living again.-t the pauper wage stand
ards of th*e Far East and continent
al Europe.”
