"At this rate," said Neumann,
"you will take 218 days to consider
the measures introduced, and you
have consumed twenty-two already.
At least fifteen bills should be re
ported out every day. These commit
tees cannot be granting, hearings on
bills not of major importance. And

GIVEN VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
ans. premier uaiadler won a
heavy vote of confidence in the cham
ber of deputies for his proposal to go
aenaa wun a ministerial program
of slow but sure . financial restor
ation. The vote was 370 to 200. A
last-minute decision of socialists to
support the ministry re-established
the former left solidarity in the
chamber which was the basis of the
tierrioTt ana .raui-iioncour govern
ments. Their action was partly in
fluenced by rumors in the lobbies of
a possibility that the chamber would
be dissolved unless a stable govern
ment were formed. Premier Daladier
said hi3 financial project would , be
presented . Tuesday, "but that he op
posed "a too rigorous policy" such
as that which caused the downfall
of, the Paul-Boncour cabinet. He
said that most countries, Including
the United States, had deficits and
that the budget could not be com
pletely balanced in a few days since
the problem was international in
scope.

Delivers Sermon
on-the Needs of
Country Today
Rev. H. A. McKelvey of Mynard,
Gives- Interesting Discourse on
Theme of Present Issues.
The. Journal is very much pleased
to have the opportunity of giving
publicity to the sermon of Rev. H. A.
McKelvey of the U. B. church at
Mynard,. on the present problems of
the country. The sermon is as fol
lows: '
There is no question that there is
something wrong with America, es
pecially that part of it that we love
the best, the United States.
Are we able to diagnose the case?
We are suffering from a terrible mal
ady,, GRAFTITIS. Our legislators
are running like wild men trying to
get more revenue, talking of an in
come tax, sales tax, but never once
looking to find where they can cut
i"?1165
and millions are discouraged. There
could nothing happen to any man
or nation, with more evil in it than
to become discouraged. It is the first
mark of failure, when men and na
tions- start on the down grade, when
they, cannot see the silver lining to
every cloud.
How strange it is when some one
points out the dangers of our na
tion they cry out "pessimist."
We are facing a crisis in America
greater than we have ever faced in
all our history, greater than the days
of the rebellion, when slavery was
an issue. Is there a way out of this
difficulty, can ,we avert the collapse
of our national life? Have we found
a solid road on which to walk, or
are we afraid that there are quick-
sands. ahead?
Now let us look at the situation
from a financial point of view. 'The
International Bankers sent out agents
to get loans, wanted to get the money
out where it could work; they so-
llcited loans and as soon as they had
a good stiff mortgage on your farm,
they, called the loans: Morgans' Sys
tem of Debauchery.
The corrupt money power was In
stalled by J. P. Morgan, and for
sixty-two years, . from 1870 to 1933
held our presidents and both houses
of congress, and the supreme court
of the U. S. subservient to it. It had
no party, and was not in sympathy.
It simply - worked with the party it
could control.
Do you know; that it O. K'd Grover
Cleveland . twice for the presidency,
and John Sherman, and Mat Quay
both republicans, financed both his
administrations. -
The corrupt money power has fast
ened Its golden -spurs into the vitals
of '.about all corporations' and news
papers in the United States. This is
a mighty corrupt power. It has fully
nine-tenths of all gamblers, brewers
low bred culprits, and eighty percent
'of the wealth.' -
"My -fellow citizen do you know
that you 'are in a critical condition?
You have ' been sleeping on your
rights. - Get busy, think and ; act
WITH ALL THE MIGHT YOU HAVE
WITHIN YOU.- You can never expect
any relief from either of the OLD
PARTIES. -
Since 1929, the corrupt money
power has crushed millions of men,
women and- children; physically,
mentally and socially, besides incrlm
inated thousands who were ensnared
by its corrupt methods, and dropped
our government upon our heads to
where she is today: AT THE MOST
HUMILIATING, LOWEST EBB OF
DEGRADATION OF WHICH WE
IHAVE HISTORICAL RECORD.
Secretary Weeks, of President
Harding's cabinet said: "The con
dltion of our government will be
perpetuated, without the pure think
ing and honest voter." Fight for
that which is right and honorable!
With, the two depressions of 1873,
and 1893, the corrupt money powers
cleared for themselves, twenty bil
lions at a cost to the masses of thirty
billions, counting nothing for the
misery and suffering the latter en
dured. Yes, men, women and child
ren suffered during the four years of
each depression. Grant was president
in 1873 and Cleveland in 1893. Cleve
land' did Just what Grant did: NOTH
ING. Nothing to stop the panic or
depressions, as it had become, and
still is, a national habit or a sneak
ing custom to do nothing.
Wall street bankers brought on the
1907 depression by ordering all banks
to shut down, on a certain day and
let no depositor have more than five
dollars at one time. Then Harriman
was put . on the road to merge all
the railroads into one great system.
He merged, contrary to law, seven
teen railroads in sixteen months, and
then died. ; There was no man who
could take. his place,' and on a cer
tain day the banks, were allowed to

pound birthday cake at his birthday party at the sanitarium at

open, and they did it to their shame.
It was a shameful insult to every
banker in the United States. Well
do many of you remember those days,
when ve could not use our own
money. WALL STREET controlled
even the email town bank. Mr. Mor
gan and his co-workers organized all
the trusts.
Do you know Mr. Voter that the
sugar trust, oil trust, coal trust, farm
ing implement combines, beef trust,
and all others take from you more
than thirteen billion dollars above a
fair profit every year?
Do you know that under President
Taft's administration, Havemyer, the
sugar king, stole two hundred and
two million dollars from the U. S. in
revenue, by smuggling sugar in with
out paying the duty? President Taft
recommended to the Justice depart
ment that they fine him two million
dollars, and the case was closed.
Havemyer stole two dollars from ev
ery man, woman and child In the
United States.
The politicians and the corrupt
money power put us In the condition
we are today; twelve million out of
employment, thirty million going to
bed hungry in a land of plenty.
No wonder there "7s so much un
rest, with such an unequal distri
button of wealth two hundred thou
sand millionaires, and some of them
worth eight hundred million dollars.
Do you know that a civil war is
inevitable unless men and women of
heart and soul take charge of the
government by superceeding, legally,
the masters of high finance and men
of surrcptitous character? .
Here Is how we can prevent a civil
war in our. midst: We must have a
revolution, but a bloodless one, poli
tical, with the . CHURXJH, UNION
LABOR, -.. AND . THE. FARMERS
TOGETHER' AS ONE. Where there
is union there, is strength.
Do .you know that the wealth of
the United States of America is seven
hundred -dollars per capita, and the
average income of forty-four millions
of people was less than one thousand
dollars. In 1929, five hundred and
four had an income of more than a
million dollars. These 504 had an
income greater than 1,692,000 other
people. These few persons combined

dred and eighty-five million dollars.
There will always be a difference in
income, but is it natural that the dif
ference should be eo large?
Now, what shall we do to remedy
this situation? First, have your rep
resentative represent you instead of
the corrupt money trust. If he fails,
then elect him to remain at home the
next term. Second, have an Inheri
tance law that no heir can inherit
over one million dollars. That will
end this greed and grasping to rob
the poor of every dollar, and this
wealth will be distributed among the
many instead of the few.
We shall never know Just how
much money was wasted during and
Just after the war, but there Is evi
dence that the grafters got their
hands on eighty-seven million dol
lars of the taxpayers money in build
ing, the war camp buildings, forty
two million dollars, in useless air
plane experiments, and wasted four
hundred and forty million dollars of
the shipping board money.
We must get our government out
of the hands of the grafters and poll-
ticians, and put It in the hand3 of
the people.
What shall we do with the grafter
and the man who buys votes? Send
these men to the penitentiary for life.
and then hang him when he serves
his time. i
Today when a man steals a ham.
and is caught, he gets a year and
maybe three; . but. if .he steals fifty
thousand dollars,. we send him to the
United States senate. . The reason for
penalties for the above crimes is that
they are traitors and have done more
evil than Benedict Arnold, when he

The - greatest 'enemy to .'America
today Is not the Al Capones, nor or

the cf obked politician,' lawyer' and
corrupt Judges. These are the ones
who' are destroying. America and
great will be her fall. '
Let us not forget the carpenter of
Nazareth, who is willing to be our
guide, and will lead U3 out of the
depression if we will organize togeth
er the church, union labor, and the
farmer. Here is an organization that
can have anything- for which they
ask congress and the state legislators.
