There is no measure more vital
to the American workingman and
farmer today than the maintenance of
a protective tariff. I stand on that
principle of protection.
"Our opponents are opposed to that
principle. They propose a 'competi-
tive tariff for revenue They do this
in the face of the fact that in the last
year the currencies of competing ma
tions have deprecated by going off the
gold standard and consequently wages
have been lowered in thirty competing

Franklin D. Roosevelt, as Demo-
cratic candidate for President, de-
clares for ECONOMY in government.
An index of governmental economy as
practiced by him as chief executive OF
New York state is presented by the
figures covering that states finances
under his administration.
Prior to Roosevelt's accession to
the governorship, New Yorks largest
tax budget was $232, ,643, ,701.1O, in
192S-the last year of Governor
Smiths rule. Under Roosevelt, how
ever, the figures mounted progressive
" to $264, 1884, ,110.39 in 1929; $315,-
92O,942.29 in 1890, and 1928, 14O, ,S94.91
In 1881.
During the three and one-haf years
of Mr.. Roosevelt's administration, the
gross funded debt of the state has in
creased from 1856, 100000 in 1929 to
$444,OOO,000 on June 80, 1882. On that
date the state also had temporary
debts Of $135, 100000 for money bor-
rowed In anticipation of revenues,
making a total Indebtedness of $579,-
100000. The net current deficit on
that date was So 100000 and the esti-
mated deficit next June over $780,
100000.
In contrast with this record and
the additional tax burden it has placed
on the people of New York stands the
record Of President Hoover in having
prevented, through budget cuts and
the exercise of hiSoVeto power, an in
crease of S5,102 90 GsS u Federal ex-
penditures since ei 2 1929. Saw
ings thus effected BY direct executive
action Of President Hoover are:

WAGE AND LIVING STANDARDS

American wages, In terms of bread

press tried to keep from the American
people news Of the horrors now going

ALSO, Gen. Pillsbury in the questions
he asked of Miss Boardman plainly

more interested in defending itself thar
in getting at facts which are a matter
of comment and general knowledge

For example, Gen. Pillsbury asked
Miss Boardman whether she had re-
ported insanitary conditions prevailing
to local health authorities.
This question Is laughable to any
one who knows the conditions In that
area. Furthermore, Gen. Pillsbury in
