While American industries are

President Hoover. He said:
"The expenditures we seek to

The reorganization plan was
seized upon by Democrats oppos-

The Fifty Million Dollar Poem

A poem worth fifty million dol
lars! 1t sounds unbelievable yet that
IS q conservative estimate of what
one short poem written on d World
War battle field has been worth to
the disabled, their families and the
families OF the dead.
Everyone knows this poem. 1t be-
gins:
in Flanders Fields the peoples
blow,
Between the crosses, row on row."
The pictures of the peoples bloom
ing above the battle graves. SO per-
fectly painted in poem, winged its
way around the world and In its
wake sprang up the custom of wear
ing a poppy in honor of the war
dead. The work of making the ar
tlflclal repllcas OF the Flanders
Fields peoples was given very fit
ingly to the diabled veterans and the
proceed from their sale to veterans
relief work. In the thirteen q
since the close of the war millions
of persons in all parts of the world
have worn the poppy annually in
tribute to those who made the sup
RENE sacrifice and through the pur-
chase of@pnppes have contributed
to the welfare of the wars living
victims.
Poppy Day" will be observed in
Plentywood and throughout the I'm
tied States this year ON May 28, the
Saturday before Memorial Day. On
that day the women of the American
Legion Auxiliary will distribute pop
pies to more than ten million Amer
leans and in exchange for the flow
ems VIII receive contributions ex-
to total more than one mill
lion dollars. Disabled veterans work
ing on their hospital beds or tables
IN convalescent workrooms have
made the peoples which the Auxil-
iary will sell, and all of the money
received will go to support the
Auxiliary's vast program of mercy
and aid for those suffering from the
wars awful aftermath.

Page The Primary

pAe of the principal arguments
OF those who ballyhooed for the pri
mary in the days gone by when tbs
primary WAS new and less under
stood than 6t Is today, was that i
would permit the people to choose
their own candidates. "Let the peopl.
rule" wal the shout of the polite.
iana who sought to curry public
favor and how their faces woule
grow red on the platform when they
exhorted in favor OF the dear peep
I'LL
But somehow or other the primary
system hasn't worked out just as its
advance agents said that it would.
The day Of the primary came at last
but instead of less boss rule we had
o OF It. Party regularity and
party responsibility were destroyed
and we got no compromising good in
the place OF it. IF you do not believe
this just cast your eye for a NOM
ert over the recent history of Com
gress and its lack of responsibility
to any authority but the whims of
the moment.
The way in which the PRIMARY has
not worked to let the dear people,

other day in the Baltimore Sun by
Frank R. Kent, who cited the pres
ent Democratic presidential race as
an example. OF couse the primary

does, both parties alike, but the ex-

With the convention only q few
weeks away Mr.. Kent calls attention
to the fact that nobody knows how
the n~inety-six New York delegates
will vote unless one man knows-
Mr.. John F. Curry, boss of the
Tanmany organization. He shows
further that Frank Hague Of New

the convention Tony Cermak of II

of Missouri, thirty-six; Huey Long
Of Louisiana, twenty, and Pat Har-
rison OF Mississippi an equal num-

There are others, including the
twenty-five OkAmoha delegates con-
trolled by Governor Bill Murray, the
Maryland delegates owned by
Governor Richie and so on down
the line.

The point Of all this is that If, as

Hoover Spurned
Business like Plan

What is the difference be-
tween the Garner and the
Hoover plans? They are
identical in their elementals.
They both contemplate pub
lie construction on postof-
fices and other public build
ings-and to that extent
both are "pork". They
differ in that the Garner
plan called for more work
and more jobs for the job
less than the Hoover plan.
But there is another diff
ference that business men
will note-for all the dema-
gogic attacks on the Demo-
cratic plan are, addressed to
them. Here is one differ
ence:
THE Democratic Con-
gress arranged for payment
of interest and amortization
charges for its entire pub
lie works program through
a tax of one-quarter of a
cent on gasoline, while the
Republicans will blandly
take money out of the
Treasury to pay for theirs. -
Honor bright, Mr.. Busi-
nessman, which is the busl-
ness-like planf We have
our deficit in the Treasury,
and common business sense
would seem to indicate that
instead of increasing the
deficit we pay for these
projects by a special tax.
