THE PLEDGES “A third process of permanent relief for agriculture can come from national leadership in the reduction and more equitable dis tribution of taxes. With respect to this I propose to exert thru the Presidency, as I have done thru the Governorship, such influence as I can in favor of a national move ment to reorganize local govern ment in the direction of eliminat ing some of the tax burden which now bears so heavily on farms.”— Gov. Roosevelt, Sept. 14, 1932, To peka, Kans. "I shall use this position of high responsibility (the Presidency) to discus up and down the country, in all seasons, at all times, the duty of reducing taxes. * * * This I pledge you, and nothing I have said in this campaign transcends in importance this covenant with the taxpayers of this country. * * * The cost of state government has increased two-fold and even three fold in thepast ten or fifteen years. In this field I believe that substant ial reductions can be made. While the President of the United States rightly has no authority over state budgets, he has the same moral responsibility of national leader ship for generally lowered ex penses, and therefore for generally lowered taxes.—Governor Roose velt, Sept. 29, 1932, Sioux City, la. “I can state the condition (burd en of high taxes) best by quoting one paragrahp from a document published a week ago and signed by both Alfred E. Smith and Cal vin Coolidge: / 44 ‘All the costs of local, state and national government must be reduced without feur and without favor. Unless the people thru uni fied action, arise and take charge of their government, they will find that their government has taken charge of them. Independence and liberty will be gone, hnd the general public will1 flutist is in a condition of servitude ft)’ an ag gregation of organized and selfish minorities.’ ”—Gov. Roosevelt, Oct. 19, 1932, Pittsburgh, P*.'. THE REPUDATION The repudation of these pledges came quickly after the inaugura tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt as President. In order to foist the New Deal program upon the country, and. so to interlock it with state and local governments as to make it difficult ever to return to the condition of independent state sovereignty, one of the first steps of the New Deal was to insist that all state gov ernments make themselves a part of the federal New Deal program. They were asked to pass state N. L R. A. laws so that there could be no doubt as to the ability of the federal government to regulate to the minutest detail all local busi ness and industry. They were asked to enact other legislation paralleling federal legislation of the New Deal. All this, of course, called for in creased. costs in state and local governments. Then came the Federal Emerg ency Relief Administration, de manding as a price of the continua tion of federal relief that state governments increase their taxes in order to provide certain relief funds, altho having no control over their expenditure. Finally, the PWA, in order to get its program tied in with state and local governments, demanded that where state constitutions or laws prohibited further bond, issues or increases in tax rates, that the laws be changed or that the state constitution be amended. It is a matter of record that of ficial releases of the PWA pointed out that Administrator Ickes had «et up a large special legal staff for the sole purpose of ascertain ing how state and local laws pro hibiting increases in tax rates or prohibiting further bond issues might either be repealed, changed, - or evaded, and then drafting legis - lation to accomplish those ends. > Groups of lawyers were employ - ed by other emergency set-ups in the federal government drafting ’ legislation which was sent to the l several states of the Union with 5 demands that it be passed as writ ^ ten# ’ Some states in Democratic con trol were as subservient as the 1 Democratic Congress. In other 1 states the legislators refused to abdicate their duties and respon sibilities, and take orders from Washington. The net result of all this has been to push state and local taxes and to increase state and local bond issues to the highest point in the history of the United States. In many states where it has been impossible, by reason of constitu tional inhibitions, to raise the property tax rate or the assess ment value on real estate, new means of taxes have been devised. These taxes, like all taxes, are eventually paid by the common people, moist otften in increased cost of food and clothing and in higher rents—or in lower values for property.

MARTHA OSTENSO Meeting Martha Ostenso would not be unlike meeting Silver Grenoble, the pretty blonde girl whose prob lems form the basis of “There’s Always Another Year,” Miss Ostenso’s latest novel, which this newspaper now brings to you in serial form. Although she is only in her early thirties, she has 'al ready written eight successful novels, the tirst of which won her the Dodd, Mead first novel prize. The author was born in Ostenso township on the Ilurdaugerfjord in Norway, and came to America at the age of two. She learned to speak English in South Dakota, and when the family moved to Canada she began to earn money by writing it for the Manitoba Free Press. Like many reporters she succumbed to the call of New York where she did newspaper work and social service. “Wild Geese,” her first novel, was already framed in her mind, and it was not long before she got it on paper and with it won world wide recognition. “The Dark Dawn,” “The Mad Carews,” “Prologue to Love” and others followed It. "There’s Always Another Year” has been called n climax of her bril liant career. Read every install ment ns this story unfolds serially in these pages. O’Neill, Nebraska, Aug. 27, 1935, 1 p. m.
