BUDGET MESSAGE
ATTACKS TOILERS
Sales Tax to Gouge
$355,0OO, 900 from
Masses

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Hoovers
budget message recommended TO
congress the most drastic govern
mental attack yet made against the
impoverished workers, small business
people, farmers and ex-servicemen
yet carried out.
A sales tax of 225 per cent on
manufactured goods is to be passed
directly to the consumers, which will
gouge approximately $355,000,000 out
of them. Wages of governmental CT
villain employees are to be directly
cut IL per cent. At the same time
the eight and one third per cent
cut imposed last winter through the
furlough plan will remain in effect.
Slash Veterans Relief.
The cut proposed in the budget
amounts to total of $3.50, 1000 900,
but it Is announced that this is
somewhat Offset by unavoidable in
creases" including interest on the
public debt, and other items, which
amount to $25o,0oo,OoO. Thus, the
bankers who hold the government
bonds are to get a quarter billion
increase while the masses are bur-
dened still heavier.
The largest single group falling
under the axe are the veterans whose
relief is cut down 1927 100000. This
is cut from direct relief, from tuber-
culor hospitals and other institutions
hitherto maintained to aid veterans
crippled in the World War.
Public Works Cut Down.
In the fourth winter of the crisis,
when unemployment and suffering
has tremendously increased the Hoo
yer proposals urge cut In appropri-
ations for federal aid to build for
highways and waterways thus throw
ing still more out of work.
To Aid Railroads.
Railroad lobbyists are jubilant at
the cut ia road construction end
maintenance. The New York Jour-
nal OF Commerce openly halls this
as a victory for the railroad mag
mates and points out that steam
roads have long been fighting the as
siStance that the government has
been giving barge lines and motor
the tax on gas is also favorable to
the railroads who are striving to ELI
inmate competition in transportation
While denying all demands Of I'M
employed workers, impoverished
farmers and veterans for relief, the
armed forces are to be strengthened
This budget of national defense, =
which excludes all items of non
military nature, amounts to $780,
ATT 900.
Thus, In every item the budget is
a typical Wall Street Hoover, Roose-
welt hunger and war budget--a cap
italist class budget to help the rich
and soak the poor.

Landowners Call
for whipping
Post" in Jersey

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. 8.
The New Jersey Grange, DOM
mated by wealthy landowners and
real estate interests, held its an
nual convention here today, re-
elected former State Senator David
H. AganS as head of the organiza-
ton, concealed number of re-
dictionary proposals behind the de-
rfland for immediate payment of
the bonus, and then recommended
the return of the old time whip
ping post" to save Jail expenses.
Advocating state income tax
to free real estate from the burden
of taxation, measure which
would benefit wealthy landown-
ers, the convention took no action
on the questions of mortgages and
foreclosures which are crushing
the poor farmers.

temporary chairman, and later,
was unanimously chosen the
permanent chairman of the
conference.
Many OF the delegates are from the
great western wheat plains and an
other large section was from the
eastern dairy farmers district.
Cheer Negro Farmers
After most of the delegates were
seated, the first contingent of South
ern farmers marched in, five Negro
and three white share troopers from
Florida. They got a great ovation
and the conference Immediately wired
money to the Alabama delegation
stalled in Roanoke, Va, through lack
OF gas for the trucks. The -Afabams
Negro and white farm delegates are
expected in this morning some time
Delegations from more states are
still on the way here.
The conference heard report on
the situation of the farmers by Lem
harris, secretary of the united front
committee which sent the call for the
National Farm Conference. Harris
showed how within the last few years
farm prices have fallen so far that
the farmers real income has been
more than halved, while city workers
pay nearly as much for farm prod
uce when they can buy it at all, as
they ever did.
Harris pointed out that the con-
ference represents all parts of the
farm area in the U. S. and reflects
the mind of the average farmer

Borden's milkmen are expecting

10 per cent cut and stopped all COM
missions on sales. The rank and file

FARM MEET HITS
CICHON EVICTION
Demands $500, 1000,
in Federal Relief

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. B.
The Farmers National Relief Con-
ference wired unanimous protest
to the Sheriff and Governor in Wis
consin protesting the brutal eviction
of farmer Cichon, his wife and two
children and the use of machine
guns and tear gas to GUST them from
their farm.
Oliver, Negro farmer from
Florida was elected on the Resolu-
tons Committee which has already
made the draft of a preamble. The
preamble states the determination
of the farmers to stop ruthless pres
sure from creditors who threaten to
sweep the poor farmers from land
and home. 1t sights the destruction
of food and the rotting of crops in
a "marketless country, because
hungry millions have lost their pur-
chasing power.
Scores Acreage Reduction.
I'm face of this social calamity"
declares the conference, farm lead
ers' and politicians dare to talk sur
plus, dare to base legislation on a
theory of reduction of acreage that
will fit the present starvation mar
ket. This bankrupt leadership also
dares to advocate the abandonment
of our scientific and technical ad-
vances in farming and recommends
that we return to primitive, self
sufficing form of peasant farming"
Demand Congress Hearing
I'VE ask Congress to suspend its
rules to permit the delegation from
the Farmers National Relief Confer
ence to read our demands on the
floor of the Congress.
1--WE demand: Federal relief of
$500, 100000; federal relief in kind !;
this relief to be administered by
farmers; price regulating mechan-
ism shall be established to be con-
trolled by actual consumers and pro-
ducers."
while millions of our population
are undernourished through loss of
purchasing power" concludes the
statement, "the acceptance of the
surplus theory is crime against So
ciety."
