4 create deflclt under the laws or
! this budget and if any officer of
a department runs his department
| into debt he is likely to be retired
from public life.
\ "The Republican party has re-
duced the government debt thrde
billion dollars in the past four
years, besides the interest on this,
amounting to more than $4,000.
The Republican congress found that
they could and would lift the bur
den from the people and taxes have
been lifted by cut of more than
$500, 100000 in one year. Last
year, with economy being enforced
throughout the departments furth
er cut of $400,000,00O in taxes was
made. That shows what can be
done if you believe in business
ideals for the government.
When, four years>ago the Repub
lican party took up the reigns of
government, the 100000 idlq men
in this county melted away and
there has been :. cry from manufac-
turers in the east to further open
the gates to immigrants, because we
have not enough men to fill the
places of industry. Harding said
that is far better to have the places
looking for the men than the men
seeking the. places.
Like Dinner Table
"The immigration question is
just like a dinner table. There is
food that we want to eat and food
that we can not digest. There are
immigrants that we want and then
there are immigrants that we can
not digest and it is our privilege
to bar those whom we can not di-
9est.
'Tha Republican party and the
Republican candidate for president
are the only ones standing for a
protective tariff. California s pros
perity can not continue without the
protective tariff. We are living on
II high standard and we mean to
continue to do so, but the only way
we can, is by supporting the high
tariff.
"We exclude the undesirable i'm
migrants, why not exclude their
cheap articles. Keep business pros
porous by keeping our money at
home, in this way we can protect
the farmer against foreign food.
There is much talk about conditions
in this county today, but if it were
not for the high tariff, things would
be in much worse condition,
than they are now. -
Passed Child Labor Bill
Regarding the child labor laws
passed by the Republican congress
Congressman Swing stated that some
opposition had been found in the
south. He said there were many
who talked about what Il crime it
was for children to work, but that
when it came to voting, they did
not support the bill.
at was the Republican vote
that guaranteed the passage of the
bill through congress" he said.
"Speaking of tho maternity bill,
there were 250,000 babies dying each
year because their mothers did not
|
there were 10000 mothers who died
in childbirth each year, unnecessari-
ly and because of lack of proper
care. 1t is q thing that should not
be allowed for Il single day. | am
proud to say that the congress of
which 1 was a MEMBER put through
the act that protects the mother
and child,' Swing continued.
Regarding prohibition, l want
to say that Coolidge is one man
that is absolutely sold on law en-
forcement. He has given his aid
and his prestige to the enforcement
of the prohibition laws through
his own personal example in the
white house. Everything has been
done and will be done to enforce
this and all other laws of the coun-
| fy as long as he is president. A
total of So, 100000 was spent last
year to buy fast coast guard cut
ters for the enforcement of the law
within the 12 mile limit
That the Boulder dam project and
the diverting of the Colorado river
is sure, was emphasized by Swing,
who stated that Herbert Hoover
supported the move while President
Coolidge has it in mind. "He will
do all he can, because it is an alb.
solutc necessity" Swing said.
| President Coolidge is differ
ent from the ordinary type of man.
Very conscientious, sincue, q Chris.
I tian gentleman. Quiet, thoughtful
courageous. He has high ideals and
is a man who has not been touched
by all the scandal in Washington.
A Wonderful Cabinet
"The president S cabinet of to-
day is the greatest cabinet since
the DAYS of Abraham Lincoln. Sec
retary Hughes will go down in his
tory, in my estimation, as the great
est of all secretaries of state. See
retary Mellon has been called the
man that does not know where to
look for the public's pulse. He is
purely a banker and his one idea
is to pay off the public debt. The
way he is doing now, he will do it
in 20 years.
"And then there is Curtis b
Wilbur, q Californian. He is out
spoken, honest and courageous
What other president will have two
Californians in his cabinet!
There are some who say thlt La
