Mr. Sinclair’^ EPIC program has now been interpteted as initialing **Easy Pickings In California.” President Roosevelt is going to have a conference of industrial and labor leaders. Let’s see. Didn’t President Hog.»er try something like that? It is said that the total indebted ness of all the peoples in the world is four hundred billion dollurs. There are no figures available as to how much of it will ever be paid. When they are in college we call them “Rah, Rah,” boys. But when they graduate and go down to Washington to run the government they are apt to be looked on as the “Raw, Raw” boys. Secretary Ickes says that there is too great a flow of oil for the good of the petroleum industry. Maybe he can get congress to cut down the gas pressure when it gets in session this winter. Jesse Jones, chairman of the RFC, is quoted as stating that he hopes “the day is not far distant when most government lending can be discontinued.*4 But he prob ably doesn’t mean before November 1936. Jesse Jones, chairman of the RFC, says that the storm of the depression is over although there! are still some rumblings. It is our opinion that the principal rumbling will come when the public has to foot the bill. Word cames from several sec tions of the county, as well as other counties in the district, that th« ! race for state senator is practically over, all but the counting of the! votes. From all sections comes , the word that Frank J. Brady, the republican nominee, is very *tro«# i and gaining ground every day, and I it might be unanimous by election day. Congressman Burke, democratic candidate for the United States senate, is billed to speak in this city tonight. As Mr. Burke is due to take part in the debate in Omaha this afternoon with his republican opponent, Bob Simmons, it clearly shows that he will be unable to be here for the night meeting, as advertised. Starting to fool the people before the election. Dwight Griswold is making an aggressive, dignified campaign for the office of governor, a campaign that will land him in the governor's office after January 1. Traveling men, who are continually traveling over the state, are in a good po sition to get the public sentiment and they are almost unanimously of the opinion that Dwight will be elected and that with him the entire state ticket will go into office. Bob Simmons has thrown a scare into the democrats of the state. Fighting Bob has been making such inroads into the democratic ranks that all candidates are now centering their fight upon him. Every day Bob is getting stronger with the voters of the state and, it now seems certain that he will be | successful at the polls in November and that with him will be elected the entire republican state ticket. According to the daily press re ports of the debate between Con gressman Burke and Bob Simmons the Omaha Congressman does not thing much of the small business men of the state. In this debate the press reports him as saying: “The NRA is fundamentally sound. The small business man who cannot meet its requirements and pay wages should get out of business.” What does the small business men of the state thing of Mr. Burke’s ideas ? “Henry Grady made the best sheriff this county ever had,” re marked a prominent Holt county citizen to the writer one day last week. “He made a splendid official and the people will again elect him to that important position when they go to the polls on election day." This is the word, that comes from various sections of the county and it looks as if he would be a sure winner. The people want cap able and efficient service from their officials and for that reason they will vote for and elect Henry Grady as sheriff. According to one New England politician with a flair for figures, for every vote cast for Louis J. Brann, democratic candidate for governor of Maine in the recent election, $345 has been expended by the present administration at Washington for public work, relief, etc., in the Pine Tree state. Well, the republicans have been pretty good campaign spenders in years gone by, but we doubt whether they will be able to match that accom plishment dollar for dollar on the present campaign or in l'J36 either for that matter. J. J. Krska, republican candidate for county treasurer, is making an active and what appears to be a Successful campaign for the office of county treasurere. Mr. Krska has spent practically his entire business life in accounting and is probably as competent a man as has ever aspired to this office in the county. He stands high in the esti mation of the people of his own community, Atkinson, and they will support him loyally at the polls for they know that he is capable and competent to fill the office to which he aspires and that he is a splendid man. Lloyd G. Gillespie, the republi can nominee for state representa tive from this county, is one of the most aggressive campaigners in the county. He has been making a thorough canvass of the county and from the reports he is meeting with marked success with the voters of the county. Lloyd has been a life long resident of the county and has always been active in the political and social life of the county. He is familiar with the needs of the people and is probably as well qual ified as any man in the county to represent us in the state legis lature. He is able, sincere and en ergetic and is bound to take a prom inent part in the deliberations of the next house of representatives, as his election seems to be a fore gone conclusion. For the first time In the history of the state a political party is appealing to the voters of the state, for their support, because they have spent enormous sums of the tax payers money in this state. Ac cording to their advertisement— published in another part of this issue and paid for by the democratic state committee—they have, that is the federal government, which is at present in the control of the democrats, expended in this state the sum of $135,720,398. That is the amount spent in Nebraska alone, our readers can estimate the amount spent in the various other states many of them having re ceived five and six times as much as Nebraska. Oh, my, what a head ache for the taxpayer and property owners when they come to pay the bill. Holt county citizens will have an opportunity to vote for a Holt county man for a state office at the coming election, Robert J. Marsh for state railway commis sioner. Bob has been a resident of this county practically all his life, coming here with his parents when a small boy. He spent may years on the farm and later engaged in business in this city and served the people of the county as a member of the county board and later as postmaster of this city. He has had a varied experience and is cap able of handling the business that would come before him as a member of the railway commission, j He is one of the common herd, with out frills and would do his be3t to see that everyone got a square deal. As a matter of county pride, if for no other reason, he should be given a splendid vote at the general election, irrespective of political affiliations. DAVID LAWRENCE BOOSTS SIMMONS Nebraska City News-Press: “Out in Nebraska the republicans have nominated former Represent ative Bob Simmons, as able a man as has been in congress in many years. He is not a standpat repub lican, but an independent, far more in sympathy with the Senator Norris type of republicanism than the eastern species." David Lawrence reminds his millions of readers throughout the country that Bob Simmons, repub lican nominee for the U. S. senate, is not a stand-patter, “but an inde pendent, far more in sympathy with the Senator Norris type of republicanism than the eastern species.” We’ve been preaching that in Nebraska but the World Herald won’t believe it, even tho Simmons’ 10-year record as a congressman shows that he is to be trusted to represent the people and not the special interests. He is neither a fanatic nor a reactionary. He is just the right type to be senator for all groups. When it comes to ability he will match up with anybody mentioned for the job; as for experience, Mr. Burke doesn't stand on the same platform with him. Burke admitted when he left congress that he had intro duced no bills, made no speeches, but had supported Mr. Roose velt’s program through and thru. Simmons did better than that, and when it comes to supporting the President, he will do that, too, as long as the President supports the people—socially and politically, not through doles, I mean. PLATFORM Let us suppose that one of the presidental candidates in 1932 had promulgated as a platform the fol lowing: 1. I propose to undermine con fidence in the business leadership of the country generally by parad ing before the American public through congress and commission investigations outstanding ex amples of mistakes and malfeas ance in all lines of business. I propose that the exposes shall be stated in such a way as to give them the utmost publicity possible, with a view to creating the impres sion that these cases of wrong doing whether intentional or not, are typical of all business. I shall, in my inaugural address, charge the depression and the ills of the public generally to the business leadership of the country, and shall state in that inaugural address <hat the business leaders have been not only incompetent and stubborn but also dishonest in many activities. 2. I propose to encourage and extend government competition with many lines of private busi ness and to institute government control and regulation of business activities through at least fifty new bureaus and commissions which BECKWITHS TRANSFER O’NEILL. NEBRASKA Loading out of Omaha and Sioux City rach Monday and Thurnday. No iotnpiaint 24 Mourn < rid LOWEST RATES I will set up in Washington. 3. I shall oust the more exper ienced government employees and supplant them with new appointees exempt from the Civil Service ex aminations, and chosen by my po litical campaign manager, and I will add at least fifty thousand ad ditional government employees to the federal payroll in the first year of my administration. 4. I propose not only to abandon the gold standard, but to debase our currency, repudiate the prom ises of the government to pay in gold, make it a crime for private citizens to have gold in their pos session. I shall call upon some college professors to establish by experiment a new monetary system with no definite and fixed value for the monetary unit. 5. To assist agriculture, I shall pay a bounty for the killing of many million pigs and sows, and the plowing up of one-fourth of our cotton acreage, and I shall further more distribute to farmers, from the federal treasury, sums aggre gating several hundred million dol lars in such a fashion that the farmer will receive greater revenue for non-production than he will for production. Cotton being one of our principal export commodities, I shall raise the price so that J American cotton will be at a disad-1 vantage in world markets, and thus i stimulate'the expansion of cotton j production in foreign countries, j In other farm commodities I shall j fix the prices regardless of the | supply and demand. The consumer will pay more for his food and for his clothing, and this money will be turned over to the farmer as his reward, for producing less. 6. In order that I may not be hampered by the prejudiced view point of adherents to the old sys tem, I shall dispense with and ig nore the advice of experienced bus iness and political leaders and sur round myself with brilliant and clever young men who have noth ing to lose by abandoning the old systeng, but who are bitterly op posed to that system, and. zealously devoted to the creation of a new order. To these young men'I shall intrust the drafting of the import ant new legislation for carrying out my policies, and the legislation I will drive through congress, urg ing the necessity for this new leg islation to meet the emergency. I can thus destroy the old order un der the guise of trying to save it in an emergency. 7. I propose to tell our people that this being the age of plenty, they should work less and produce less and demand more for what they do, and to emphasize my be lief in this program I shall employ millions of idle people to do unnec essary work, and pay them therefor higher wages than are paid by private employers for useful work. 8. I shall advocate the redistri bution of wealth, arouse the work ers against their employers, the producers agaipst the distributors, and while urging the producers and distributors to ,%ierease wages and maintain prices, the consumers will be told that they are being robbed by the distributors and processors. 9. I shall prevent the criticism of my policies: first, by continual emphasis upon the terrible con dition from which I am trying to save the country; second, by con trolling the radio through the Fed eral Radio Commission; third, by establishing such intimate relations with the Washington newspaper correspondents as will cause them to interpret my actions and policies as I desire them interpreted, and by threatening their publishers with loss of advertising and circu lation through popular revolt if they criticise. To be more obstrep erous, I shall throw down the chal lenge that it is unpatriotic to criti cize the President in times of such emergency. 10. To avoid the constitutional barriers I shall cause attacks to be made upon the strict interpretation of the constitution as being out of date and no longer adequate to pro tect the people, and where the ju diciary seems unwilling to approve my legislation, I shall cause them to be attacked in the press and threaten them with investigation and popular disapprove!.—From Dr. James E. Boyle, Cornell Uni. More Help? Atkinson, Nebr., Dear Editor: One of the latest official jestures to “help the farmer” is the invitation to borrow money to modernize his buildings. It is not an opportunity to attach his signature to more notes and mort gages that the land owner wants. He doesn’t want credit but a chance to realize' a fair return on his in vestment and labor. If he can have fruitful seasons and a profit able market he’ll get along. Modernizing the old shacks sounds fine. Take a trip through rural districts surrounding such places as Norfolk and see the pa latial houses and barns and then go to the mortgage records and you will find twenty to thirty thousand dollars indebtedness on these fine places. The land owmer with his holdings free from debt even tho his buildings are not so swell is in finitely better off than those with these places. It is a good thing for the lumber yards, and we wish them the best of luck. Wonder if they would release material for this “njodern izing” program on a basis of ex change? Say take so many acres of the farm or so much livestock at the land owner’s price. If the farmer gets anything from the lumber yard he must pay their price. Maybe there would be a lot of modernizing done if it could be arranged that way. Otherwise many of us will have to worry along with the little old cabins. Possibly had the billicns which tax exempt government securities have absorbed been diverted into industry so that idle families could have permanent and profitable em ployment these frantic efforts to “help the farmers” may not have been at all necessary. And. that horrible nightmare of taxation would not be confronting us. R. S. GAMBLE’S ACE SHELLS! “Say, Guy—How do you knock ’em dead at such a range?”—“Oh!

Pointed Paragraphs The New Deal is killing live stock to raise prices and warning food dealers not to raise prices; ,it is establishing fair practices for in dustrial competition and then com peting with industry with such un fair practices as selling below' cost; it is pegging prices through NRA and denouncing business for goug ing the farmer; it is condemning the bankers for not loosening up credit while it frightens credit with the threat of inflation; it is exact ing a planned economy from busi ness while the state of the budget shows that it has no knowledge of the meaning of economy. Add similes: As convincing as the Postmaster General declaring in a campaign speech that the tax payer’s money is not being used for political purposes. Tugwell is in Europe; Wallace has just finished reading the proofs of his most recent book; the Brain Trust is lining up its Autumn and Winter radio and newspaper con tracts, and Jim Farley is on the stump pledging continued relief funds in exchange for votes in the November election. The Blue Eagle has had. its price fixing removed and a board of phy sicians has succeeded old Doctor Johnson but the long delayed fight to recovery is postponed again pending public faith that the off spring of the Democratic Jackass and the Socialistic buzzard can really fly. One-sixth of the population is estimated to be dependent upon federal relief. Those who are spon soring an amalgamation of the not raising-hog clubs, the not-raising corn clubs and the not-raising-a finger clubs predict, however, that this figure will be greatly increased by spring. Anyone who thinks the Brain Trust doesn’t deserve credit should think twice before denouncing their mental capacity. The Brain Trust ers are spending $2.50 of your money for every dollar they get. Try that on your own budget be fore you criticize. The time was when Canadian money was looked down upon in the United States, and refused in all save the northern border states. Today the tables are reversed and there is a premium on the Canadian dollar. This may explain the heavy flow of American capital into Can ada. At Arthurdale, W.Va.,the United States is offering five-acre subsist ence homesteads to poor farmers and miners at $5,000 each. In the same vicinity an old established and fully developed farm af 86 acres, completely equipped, is on the market for $3,500 cash.
