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

they are apt to be looked on as the

Secretary Ickes says that there
is too great a flow of oil for the

Maybe he can get congress to cut

Jesse Jones, chairman of the

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

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.

The New Deal is killing live

is establishing fair practices for in

peting with industry with such un

it is pegging prices through NRA

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
