he was secretary of the interior in
which he was quoted al having said
the government va. trying to feed
Indian children ut the rate of nine
cents 4 day per child and a state
ment once made bv Secretary of
War Davis calling attention that
housing facilities for the American
soldier amounted to almost a ma
tional dissrace."
This, he said. was a fair example
Of what the republican party had
done in the way of reducing the cost
Of government. He then directed a
question to Mr.. Hoover.
Does lie approve Of national
economy that staryes out the Indian
children and neglects to provide
proper housing, sleeping and eating
facilities for the country's very first
line Of defense? Does he see these
pictures In their true light?
III he does not" he declared,
"then ! will be prepared to say he
does not understand the operation OF
government" .....
Governor Smith charged Mr..
Hoover with making a misleading
statement" when he said in his ac-
ceptance speech that by rigorous
economy federal expenses have been
reduced by two billion dollars per
annum."
HE knows just as well as I do.
and Just az well as you do" the
democratic nominee asserted. that

penditures and tho 1927 expenditures
OF government is the difference be-

peace"
Real and substantial economy. the
governor declared in concluding his
address, which was punctuated by
yells Of "Fight 'em A." Pour it on
'em AL" could be brought by a re-
organization of the old broken down
structure of the federal government,
by the abolition of useless boards
and commissions that overlap and
duplicate efforts.
Promised Many Times
This, he said, was promised in
1921 under Harding. in 1924 under
Coolidge, and agin in 1928 and re-
iterated in Mr.. Hoover's speech Of
acceptance. but $50 far as any liv-
ing ncrsop ia concerned there is no
sign of his settinng any part of it,"
Real economy cannot be brought

"Real economy cannot only be
brought about by reorganization Of
the government" he declared. but
by careful planning. not for today.
but for years to come.
"While l agree that not a single
dollar of public money should be
wasted, l still make the cold. raw
statement that there is no economy
in keeping back necessary funds for
the proper needs of the government.
