Some Plain Talk

NE of the strongest protests that has been voiced
in opposition to the increasing expense Of
government was contained in memorial to
Congress by the Federation of American Business
few days ago. It included these plain words:
"You have balanced your books by borrowing
Deliberate over-appropriation in expectation of re-
course to borrowing for ordinary and recurring
pense invites financial disaster Your last offering OF
Treasury notes was barely over-subscrbed 1t is per-
fectly obvious that your credit is burning up"
The condition of which the Federation so justly
complains is to be brought home to the taxpayers when
they study the new bill increasing their tax
burden by both direct and indirect leves. The impos
ton of this further burden is bound to retard the
covery of business and industry.
During the last few years the creation and extern
sion of departments bureaus boards commissions and
other tax-spending agencies, with their increasing
army of employees has become veritabe public
menace. Worst of ALL many of these agencies de-
voted chiefly to harassing and depressing the very
business men and other taxpayers who have to foot
the bill.
There is an increasing demand for the balancing
of all government budgets. This should be DONE not
by increasing taxes but by reducing expenses. And
the time to begin is now.

travelling salesman registered at small town
hotel and informed the landlord that he would need
for several days. He handed the landlord
500 bill and asked him to keep it in his safe until he
checked out it large to carry around in
his pocket. The next day the garage man presented
the landlord with statement for 500 and not having
that much cash hand the hotel proprietor used the
salesmans 500 bill to settle the account planning
upon replacing it before the bill called for by its
owner.
The garage man paid his grocery account with
the bil the grocer paid for suit of clothes with
the bill and the clother paid the hardware dealer
account of $780, The hardware man had borrow
ed 500 from the hotel he settled by using the
same BILL The hotel put the bill back in the safe
Several days later the salesman paid his hotel account
with money he had in his pocket and the land
lord him back the 500 BILL The salesman lighted
match and burned the BILL stating that he had found
out it was counterfeit and must be destroyed. The
question is Who lost by the transaction" The an
swer is: Nothing lost" The moral is: Circulate

will be met before it finally lands an old sock or in

ALLEGED SNATCHER OF
PURSES is CAPTURED
Il Was Waiting Nor Street Car" Is
Alibi of Ex-COnvict.

Il was waiting for street car" is
the alibi of an alleged purse snatcher
whose arrest Sunday night is
credited to efficiency of the police
radio.
The prisoner, William A. Wagner,
81, of GAL South Missouri street, has
been identified by three women
victims, according to police.
Bernice Crist, SO West Thirtieth
street, saved her purse by struggling
with a man at an alley entrance on
Thirtieth street, between Illinois
and Meridian.
A few minutes later Mrs. Mamie
Beller, 155 West Fall Creek parkway,
was robbed of a purse while walk
ing in the 100 book, West Twenty
seventh street..
Third victim was Mrs. Rut I Ben
nett, 70, of 1945 North Pennsylvania
street. A purse containing SIS was
snatched from her grasp while she
was on the sidewalk in front of her
home.
AS each report was made, descrip-
ton of the purse Snatcher was
broadcast and the scenes of the
thefts were surrounded by squad
cars, which gradually narrowed their
search.
Wagner was arrested in the 1900
block, North Pennsylvania street.
Police say he is a former convict,
having served term for purse

Hearst Threatens to Quit
Support If PIayboy
Holds to Plan.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-William
Randolph Hearst, only New York
newspaper supporter of James j.
Walker, former mayor, today warned
the resigned Broadway idol that he
would desert his cause if he ran
for reelection in a move to punish
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic
candidate for President.
The warning served to increase
chances that the playboy who served
as mayor of Americas largest city
would not be a candidate to succeed
himself this fall, even though the
leader of Tammany Hall announced
his whole hearted support of
Walkers reported plan to run.
1t was Hearst who editorially
suggested that Walker resign and
seek vindication with the people.
His warning today, therefore, was
significant in view of Walkers bit
ter attack on Roosevelt when he re-
signed.
Walker has not strengthened
himself" by his "unjustif1able at
tack" Hearst scaid. Governor
Roosevelt is more honest than
shrewd, or he never would have al

this conflict" he said
Mayor Walker, according to the
best belief, is not an evil person: he
merely is an irresponsible one. .
he is irresponsible in his personal
behavior, which is deplorable, but
apparently not unforgiveable in
the eyes Of his fellow citizens"
Meanwhile, John F. Curry, boss of
Tammany Hall, let it be known in
Lenox, Mass, that he whole heart
edly is behind Walker, his reported
plan to seek reelection this fall,
and his bitter attack on Roosevelt
Curry believes the rank and file
of democracy in every New York
City borough, except the Bronx, is
with Walker. He is to return here
Tuesday to confer with district
leaders on their plan of battle.
If Walker goes through with his
reported plan to run, and if Curry
forces through his denomination,
bitter, knock-down and drag-out
battle at the polls may be predicted
for Nov. 8, with Roosevelt renew
ing an old fight with Tammany.
