Radicals Plan to Take
The People Unaware

To the Editor Of The Star:
Many people miss the objective Of
these various marches" entirely
which is to be expected. But I was
amazed at the editorial in your issue
Of December 9-"Marches on Wash
ington."
Do you not know that their leaders
plan to accustom the people to large
groups assembled in the Capital, SO that
when they are ready to strike the pub
lie will be taken unaware?

Campaign Stew

Election laws in Iowa are responsible for running what promised to be good party. An aspirant for political honors planned to have tbrce.day rally to which all corners were to be welcomed. There were to be some political speeches and torchlight par ade. All that the law permits. There would also be, the candidate announced, lib- cral servings of delicious chicken stew. That was really the most attractive feature of the program. and that was where the law checked proceedings.
 The Iowa election law fofbids anything which might be construed as influencing voters by something other than reason and logic. Good Iowa chicken stew ranks high among effective bribes, so it is banned, and the rally must take place without 1t. Perhaps in normal times chicken stew would not be barred as undue influence any more than campaign cigars. The legal decision. however, is as hard on hungry voters just now sit is on the candidate

Fully Complicated

< The presidential campaign in the demo- esatie party has produced more funny situa' tions than ordinarily occur m decade or two of political events For example right tcrc in our own state we arc faced with an unusual situation, Eight years ago the dominant democratic orsanizaton-i Con ncetcut was headed by Messrs Cummings S,,cllaey, and Fitzgerald They were sup portcrs of William c.

He did not participate to any great extent in the state convention at Hartiofd last week. However. this week he publicly disagreed with Thomas L. Chadbourne' well known New York democrat who IS con testing the Roosevelt nomination. Just few days ago Mir Chadbourne took exeep- Ion 10 the radio address of Governor Roose- welt in which he made plea for the for Sotten man. Mir Chadbourne criticized 1t Iu uncertain terms. stronger than we might have used had we found it necessary to com

 make worse speeches. We have heard him make better ones.
 q But Mir Cummings was closely allied with Mr Chadbourne in 1924. They were both aetiye in the campaign to nominate MeAdoo' Now they are also on opposite sides of the rnee. as are the members of that once famous tfiumvirste that ruled the Connecticut demoe' raey.

The Check Tax

Congress must impose new taxes. There are reasonable objections that may be offered against any tax proposed. If everyone in- sists on kicking against his pet aversion. Congress will get nowhere. It does seem. though, as if the tax or bank checks is es- pceially unsound. li is argued that this tax is easy to pay and easy to collect. and will work little hardship. This may be true. But there is an important fact that the advocates seem to lose sight of. A tax on bank checks. diseouraging the use of checks in their prcs- ent volume, will greatly eurtal the volume of money in circulation.
 There are two kinds of money. banker economist explains. One is in the form of currency, or primary money; the other is in the form of checks. or secondary money. The serious shrinkage of money volume re- gently is attributed to the big decrease that has come about already in the use of checks. There is about the same amount of currency that there was thre years ago. Thus cheek tax driving far more people to abandonment of their checking accounts and the use of cash instead, may result in much greater money shortage. It is worth while, for the sake of the small income ob- tainable from such tax. to throw another monkey wrench into the financial maehin- cry!

Opposition To Bonus

Late information from Washington IS that the soldiers bonus drive seems to be losing it's impetus Most of the veterans appear 10 be for it, but Congress is diseov. crin2 that millions of voters. suddenly grown vocal are out of sympathy with this proposal. It is l surprising experience for Congress It has been tbc history of mil. tary gratuities, in general, that veterans act ing together got what they wanted almost regardless of time and circumstance, for lack of opposition. The opposition to this par tieular distribution from the federal treas ury is strong. pretty we'll organized and rapidly growing It almost suggests gen cral uprising Of taxpayers
 There is a universal desire 10 be gcner' ous with veterans in distress, particularly when their distress can be traced to their war service. and it is felt that governmental ex- pcnditurcs and present appropriations m this field speak for themselves But whole sale and indiseriminatc public payments to service men merely as such, without regard 10 individual needs and merits, the critics say. is unjustfiablc class legislation, of d type which all Americans supp9scd few years ago had been definitely rcnouneed.
