MR. AND MRS. FRANK

ON 30TH ANNIVERSARY
(Continued from page 1.)

the remaining 28 years have been
at their present location. Mrs.

Mrs. Newton Carson of Redbird,

Aren’t We All?
Copies of the following letter are
being shown about in Washington.
The letter itself is said to actually
have been received by a Red Cross
Chairman responsive to a request
for a donation:
My dear Sirs:
In reply to your request to send a
check, I wish to inform you that
the present condition of my bank
account makes it almost impossible.
My shattered financial condition is
due to Federal laws, state laws,
county laws, city laws, corporation
laws, liquor laws, mother-in-laws,
brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws and
outlaws.
Thru these laws, I am compelled
to pay a business tax, amusement
tax, head tax, school tax, light tax,
water tax, sales tax, liquor tax,
carpet tax, income tax, food tax,
furniture tax and excise tax. Even
my brains are taxed. I am re
quired to get a business license,
car license, duck license', not to
mention a marriage license and
dog license.
I am, also, required to contribute
to every society and organization
which the genius of man is capable
of bringing to life; to women’s re
lief, the unemployed relief and the
gold diggers relief. Also, to every
hospital and charitable institution
in the city, involving the Red Cross,
the Black Cross, the Purple Cross
and the double cross.
For my own safety, I am re
quired to carry life insurance, pro
perty insurance, burglar insurance,
liability insurance, accident insur
ance, business insurance, earth
quake insurance,tornado insurance,
unemployment insurance, old age
insurance and fire insurance.
My business is so governed that
to is no easy matter for me to find
out who owns it. I am inspected,
expected, suspected, disrespected,
rejected, dejected, examined, re
examined, informed, required, sum
moned, fined, commanded and com
pelled until I provide an inexhaust
ible supply of money for every
known need, desire or hope of the
human race.
Just because I refuse to donate to
something or other, I am boycotted,
talked about, lied about, held up
and held down and robbed until I
am almost ruined.
I can tell you honestly that ex
cept for the miracle that happened,
I could not enclose this check. The
wolf that comes to many doors
nowadays, just had pups in my
kitchen. I sold them and here
is the money.”
Tariff Still Popular Agrument
Imports and exports are subjects
debated daily while the House
waits for more legislation to work
on. The tariff is the great subject.
Those opposed to the taiuff, say
thru the reciprocal trade agree
ments, world peace and world trade
will come and, eventually, prosper
ity will come to everybody. Those
opposing the free traders and the
boosters of the reciprocal trade
agreements, say that wars are go
ing on in Europe and the Far East
and Uncle Sam is arming himself.

Somebody Puts l’p $10,000 Party
The Indiana boosters of McNutt
for President, gave a reception to
nearly 4,000 people the other night.
Cocktails and food galore with
French names covered a table
which looked like the feast of fairy
tales and Aragian nights. Ob
servers say it cost about $10,000 to
put on the party. Everybody
wanted to know who paid for the
gigantic feast. Indiana members
say that a few of McNutt’s friends
dug up the money. The head of
the Indiana Two' Person Club said
his organization did not donate a
penny. Anyway, it was one of the
most puzzling and dazzling recep
tions ever held in this town. Wash
ingtonians who crash about every
big reception admit that it was
the most spectatcular. The In
diana delegation admits that the
party was just a “coming out”
event for McNutt’s presidential
boom. They sky they are testing
out an “early” campaign.
Soil Conservation Pay-off Soon
The signers of 1937 Soil Con
servation applications are anxious
to know when their payments will
be received. They need the money
with which to begin this year’s
farming operations. Inquiries ad
dressed to the chairman of the Ne
braska Agricultural Conservation
Committee concerning the prospec
tive date of deliveries of checks in
particular counties, have produced
the information that in the coun
ties where the summary of per
formance forms hatfe reached the
state office, the latter are now in
the process of audit. It is esti
mated that the audit will be com
pleted and the applications written
and returned to the counties for
applicant’s signatures in about two
weeks. If the county associations
are prompt to obtain the signatures
and return the forms to the state
office for final check approval, the
payment checks should be issued
following approximately another
two weeks. The chairman of the
Nebraska Agricultural Conserva
tion Committee gives assurance
that everything is being done by
his office to complete the work in
connection with the 1937 program
at the earliest possible date.

$140,000.00 or Stockholders.
Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
has in reality been of benefit prin
cipally to a group of very large
manufacturing corporations—in
cluding some of the concerns that
are now under attack for alleged
monopolies.
Senator Bridges brings a wealth
of irrefutable testimony to buttress
this criticism. TVA power is large
ly sold, under contract, to big fac
tories in the erea. These contracts
were closed, without competitive
bidding, by TVA directors. Inas
much as the Authority’s low elect
ric rates are made possible only by
tax subdies, all the people of the
United States are, in effect, help
ing pay the electric bills of the
favored corporations! That may
help bring the more abundant life
to the lucky concerns who are get
ting electricity at less than its real
cost—but it certainly means a less
abundant life for the taxpayer.
Senator Bridges makes the tell
ing observation that if the U. S.
treasury were to make an out
right gift of U. S. government
bonds to a group of favored busi
nesses, the scandal would rock the
country—yet, to all intents and
purposes, that would be little dif
ferent from what is happening
now in the southeast. The TVA
has always been ballyhooed as a
boon to the common people—and
scores of millions of public funds
have been spent in developing it.
Now it appears that these funds
have been largely used to provide
a below-cost service to a few fort
unate big businesses.
L.
In concluding his address, Sena
tor Bridges asked that the Senate
authorize an investigation of the
Authority. In the light of his dis
closures, this would seem to be an
inescapable duty owed the public
by our lawmakers.
The President or the governor
can start a new government utility
operating by punching an electric
switch, but unfortunately the tax
payers can’t pay for it that way.
