wage reduction We may receive just
as many dollars per day, but they are
deprecated dollars that won't buy as
much. When England went off the
gold standard last year every workman
in that country had his wages cut 80
per cent in buying power 1t is
truthful statement that the greatest
sufferer by that action was the British
workingman. Some one may try to
argue that wages will go up as the
value of the dollar goes down, but that
is only partly true. In every country
that has resorted to initiation the rise
in wages has never kept pace with the
rise in living costs, and there is no
reason to expect that it would be diff
ferent here
Then let us suppose that you and I
have been thrifty and that We each
have a little savings bank account as
well as some life insurance. If America
leaves off the gold standard, the value
of that bank account and of that in
surance policy instantly shrinks. for
each of them will be payable only in
deprecated dollars. 1t is as if some
invisible hand reached out and struck
from us 80 or so or 80 per cent of the
value of our savings. We saw that
happen eight years ago in France for
example, where the savings Of the whole
people were sacrificed 80 per cent when

from 10 cents to less than cents

The burden Of his taxation today is
very heavy indeed-almost too heavy to
be borne Initiation would increase his
taxes to the breaking point, because the
debts of his county and his State are
payable in gold dollars. and he will be
taxed many more of the debated dollars
to keep up payments of interest and
principal Of those public debts. Just
as in the case of the Workingman of
the cities, his income will not increase
in proportion to the increase in taxes
and in cost Of living
So there is our problem, my friends
the problem that Confronts your Sena-
tols and your Congressman at this
minute. Shall we take the weak and
easy course of refusing to balance the
budget, of letting America fall away
from her standard of sound money? I

to you and me of doing that Or shall
we try to protect our work people by
maintaining the value Of their wages
and their savings? 1t viii take courage

less than the sacrifices resulting from
imitation.
A sales tax has been suggested, ap-
nlving to practically all articles except
food and clothing. Apply 1t to your
own case. If the rate we're fixed at "a
per cent, as suggested by the Demo-
cratic leaders in the House of Repre-
sentatives. how much would you have

ing would be exempt, that there would
be no tax on rent and no additional tax
on tobacco. I think you will find that
the most that. you would be likely to
pay would be IS or Sc year. Contrast
that with the disadvantages to you of q

think YOU will agree with me that no
sane man should hesitate in his deci-
sion.
Now. there is just one way for you to
make that decision felt Let your Con-
orppman and two Senators know
what YOU think. and do it now. The
verdict is trembling in the balance. and
America is truly at the cross roads.
Don't allow Yourself to be put off with
the statement that the trouble can be
cured by raising taxes on the big in
comes. I myself am in favor of doing
that, but l know that it will not begin
TO Weld the necessary revenue. In the
tax bill now pending in the House of
Representatives the Ways and Means
Committee recommended a maximum
tax of 46 per cent on the largest in
comes. The House itself raised that
rate to 70 per cent, whereupon We we're
told by the experts that only S20,000,-
900 additional revenue would result
from the change. l am not pleading
for the rich man, but 1 am trying to
make clear that the extra $20000,000
that we get from him is only a begin
ing toward raising the $l,200000, 900
that we need.

TOP FLIGHT NOT
HARD ENOUGH TO
CAPTURE DERBY
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, April 28.-The grow
ing suspicion that Top Flight is
too small and effeminate to win
the Kentucky Derby seems likely
to remove the unbeaten filly from
the favorite's position before the
bugle sounds at Churchill Downs
nine days hence.
Winter book betting is largely
based on 2-year-old form and Top
Flight, by that token, has been
stoutly backed by the majority of
future bettors. Top Flight was un-
beaten in seven straight starts and
champion of her class as a Juvenile
but will not receive her first test
as a 3-year-old until Saturday in
the Wood Memorial at Jamaica.
Only a victory in this mile and
10 yards race will keep Top Flight
in the favorites position in the
winter books.
Col. E. r. Bradley, who has twice
seen his horses run one-two in the
Derby, is one of the many prom
inent turf men who doubt Top
Flights ability to go the derby
distance against bigger horses.
Top Flight will be beaten in the
Derby because she does not have
the strength and stamina to go
the distance" said Colonel Brad
ley. "I'll bet $4,000 to $4,000 that
Top Flight doesn't finish among
the first three in the Derby. I'd
say Tick On is the horse to beat"
Tick On, second choice in the
winter book, made his first 3-year-
old start in mile and 10 yards race
at Havre De Grace, Md, yester-
day and finished second to Spring.
steel, another Derby candidate.
The chart, however, reveals that
Tick On was shuffled back to sixth
place at the first turn and was
bottled up in the run down the
back stretch. Swinging wide in the
home stretch, Tick On closed game
ly and was only a length back at
the finish.
Looking around for a candidate
to replace Top Flight as the lead
ing contender, many westerners
have settled on Burning Blaze,
owned by the Nash Brothers of
Chicago. Burning Blaze won six
out of IL races as a juvenile and
has ruled third choice in the winter
book for several weeks.
