GUNS, BUT NO SHOES

Russia's five-year industrial plan as
a military measure was success, ac-
cording to Dictator Stain; but while
the factories were producing ION a
mass scale all the weapons of de-
fense," the great majority of the peo-
pie went through two Russian winters
without shoes. Stain admitted in a
recent address, of which an official
copy was delivered to the Associated
Press, that sin order to change over
to basis for producing defense ma
terials, many of our factories were
forced to go out of operation for four
months"
Reports from neutral observers are
to the effect that among these fac
tories were the ones where shoes for
the people were manufactured. Ad-
hitting this shortage in shoes, and
clothes also, Stain made the follow
ing excuse: owe all know we have
produced less than was needed, result
ing in well-known difficulties, but con-
slider the consequences of postponing
our heavy industrial production in IA
,Vor of making more shoes, clothes and
other articles of consumption" Fur
ther along he says, "That is why the
party was compelled to lash the coun-
try"
II During this same period, while the
country was dashed to greater produc-
ton of war material, grain was forci-
bly, taken; from the peasants in the
great wheat.growing districts in order
to feed the industrial workers. The
country was stripped bare and the
peasants who had produced the grain
left to sstarve. A cable reproduced in
the Literary Digest asserts that
practically all Russia's peasant class
is forced to steal the products of his
own labor in order to survive"
] So great became the distress in the
Ukraine, the great wheat belt of Eu-
rope, that 100000 inhabitants fled
from that section to other parts in
search of food. The farms where the
wheat was raised were so stripped
bare by the government agents, COL
lecting for the industrial districts,
that thoses who grew the wheat were
left without single bit of food to
feed them through the Russian winter
and until a new harvest should ripen.
Evidently the dictatorship of the
proletariat is the dictatorship of the
industrial districts. The only use to
which these defensive weapons have
been put is to keep under complete
military surveillance the Russian
peasants who are deprived of the food
they raise.

m the farms.

will be no recovery on the farms.
When this fact comes to be more
generally realized in the United States
we will have more action and less the
orizing, and then we will be on the
way to recovery. Most of our agri-
cultural products are consumed in
America. The way to increase con-
sumption therefore is to start the
wheels going as soon as possible.
When the average American worker
is employed he spends his money on
substantial foods, on beef, pork, but
ter, eggs, poultry and other agricul-
tural products. So long as this Am
elican worker is not employed at good
wages we are not going to have a re-
turn of prosperity.
All of the theorizing about foreign
markets, the imitation, is not going to
cure this condition. We are going to
have to forget our foreign markets
and pay more attention to America
and its possibilities.
Just now many of our industries
are sadly crippled because other ma
tions-Japan and Czecho-Slovakia are
good examples-due to deprecated
currency are dumping their products
in the United States and causing
American labor to suffer. The inter
nationalist remedy is to encourage
more importations on the theory that
this will sell our farm products
abroad. The fallacy of this theory is
self evident. The average Oriental
coolie lives on a cup of tea and few
handsful of rice day. How impor-
tant is his food to the American far
mer when compared with what the
American worker will consume if
steadily employed? The answer to
this question is so plain that even an
internationalist ought to be able to
get it.
Just as wild is the theory of the in
fiationist who thinks that because
some of these foreign nations have de-
based their currency and now pay
their workers with tin money, that
Uncle Sam could help himself by doing
the same thing. The final result
would spell ruin to all Americans
whether they live in the city or the
country, whether they work in the
factory or on the farm.
The first thing to be done is to shut
out this flood of foreign goods which
has been made possible by the use Of
cheap money abroad and the further
impoverishing of the working classes.
When this is done we will be on the
road to recovery and can look to the
future with more confidence. Inter-
national bargaining and initiation will
not do the work. What is needed is
little straight American thinking.

RETRENCHMENT in STATE
EXPENSES INSISTED UPON
COad Takes To Task Those Who
Fear to Cross A "t'', Dot an ''i''
or Change a Figure in Budget .
OPPOSED TO SALES TAX

Annapolis, Feb. 8-Demand-
ing more economy and less tax
es," Senator Joseph Allan Coad
(Dem., st. Mary's), today con-
tinued his campaign for a reduc-
ton in Governor Albert C. Rit-
chie's budget recommendations,
issuing a new pamphlet outlin-
ing his views. ''' - /
In today's pamphlet, the sena-
tor defended his demands for budget
reductions and assailed what he de-
scribed as "the sales tax racket
which he limited may be "fostered and
fomented by large out-of-State mail
order houses" /
Senator Coad said:
"There are those who have mani
Tested resentment that anyone should
undertake to cross single It. or dot
an Il or change single figure of the
budget, which, of course, implies to
the budget degree of perfection that
even it's author would be slow to claim
and who pretend to see in any effort
to reduce the appropriations an at
tempt to 'embarrass the governor or
to impair the efficiency of the States
government.
Considers Resentment Silly
GAS one of those who attaches no
measurable degree of sacredness to
the handiwork of any man, and who
can not bring himself to believe that
all the wisdom and ingenuity and abil-
ity regarding the fiscal policy of the
Maryland State government resides
in one individual, feel that this at
titude of resentment is silly and ILL
timed, besides being just little bit
unfair to those members of the Gen.
eral Assembly who even though not
supermen, are nevertheless striving
to do their plain duty to their con-
stituents, the taxpayers of this
State"
Senator Coad's pamphlet, distrib-
uted to members of the Assembly,
was the second which the st. Mary's
Democrat has broadcast during the
present session. State House obser-
vers saw in the first semi-insur-
gency against the administration, a
fact which Senator Coad later denied
upon the Senate floor.
ITO speak of the increased cost of
government in Maryland" the pam
phlet went on, "is not to cast the
slightest reflection on any one State
official. Should not retrenchment now
be the order of the day rather than an
effort to find new and added sources
of revenue?
Cites Increase Cost of Government
"Some idea of the increased cost of
government in Maryland may be OBJ
tanned by comparing the budgets of
1919 and 1888. The former carried
total appropriations of $17,289, APO,
while the latter called for a total ex-
penditure of $38,O73, AIT, and. in the
same period it should be remembered
that the bonded Indebtedness of the
State rose approximately 80 1-3 per
cent, or from $19, LOG, 29O.7O (Sept. 80,
1919 to $29,7O7,913.36 (Sept. 80,
1889, and this, let it be remembered,
in spite of the. economies and benefits
that were effected through the reor-
ganization process of 1922, by which
the various and sundry boards and
bureaus, commissions and depart
ments were regrouped in the name of
efficiency and economy.
"If this is not fact, then it@hould
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-02-09
be branded as a falsehood."
Assails Sales Tax

ASSdllS OdlcS L dA
Saying that now was the time to
face the facts, Senator Coad turned
to the question of sales tax.
"There is going to be quite an active
campaign designed to inaugurate
throughout the State of Maryland a
so-called general sales tax. Governor
Richie has stated that he did not be-
lieve the people of Maryland favored
this and in this statement he was
exactly 100 per cent correct.
ITO just what extent this move
ment is being fostered and formented
by large out-of-state mail order firms,
it is, of course, impossible to estimate.
Certainly within the state it is being
encouraged by a great many we'll
meaning, sincere and honest persons,
to whom in all fairness must be ac-
corded the purest and most unselish
motives.
eff additional revenue to this state
was imperative, the sales tax racket
might have some merit; but certainly
the imposition of such tax at this
time cannot be justified upon any
ground other then the most urgent
and imperative state need for new
revenue and that most emphatically
does not exist.
cit will be we'll to remember in con-
sidering the imposition of any COM
modify or general sales tax, that bust
ness today is barely holding its own,
in many cases not even doing that, be-
cause of the decreased purchasing
power of the people, and any added
tax upon it can and will only serve
to retard business revival and recup-
Grafton already too long delayed.
Retrenchment His WatchwOrd
"Retrenchment in state expendi-
lures should be the watchword, not
new revenue.
"The need for State aid to Baltimore
City to carry on relief work is of
course a need that no patriotic citizen
of the State can afford to discount or
ignore. The city's credit limitation
has, it is said, been reached. The
present plan is to lend the States
credit to the city to the extent of
eight million of dollars, nearly one
half of which is necessary to liqui-
date loans already secured and spent.
at is, of course, easy to mortgage
the future, and the bond issue route is
the usual way. In the establishment
of what virtually amounts to dole
system for the city, existing current
revenues due to the city from the
State should be made to go as far as
it is possible to make them go, before
resort to bond issues is had if the
State is to underwrite them, and the
State should first of all be satisfied
that the municipal budget has been
brought down to the very lowest pos
sible figure.
Governor Richie has suggested an
increase in the city's- share of the 2
cent maintenance and reconstruction
gasoline tax which if favorably acted
upon by the Legislature would mean,
as he pointed out in his message, an
estimated increase in the city's rev.
enue for 1884 of $72S, 10000, and for
1885, $767, 10000. Whether or not
this increase in revenue could be prop
erly utilized for city relief work, GER
tainly it should be taken into consid-

GIVE BUSINESS A REST

In spite of the difficulties which be-
set all our major industries at the present
time, we find in congress and in our legis-
latures political demagogues who would
further shackle business and industry by
the passage of more drastic laws.
The fear of further unfavorable legis-
lation will undoubtedly have tendency
to delay and in some cases entirely pre-
vent developments which would be under
taken if those interested could feel safer
from legislative meddling.
Two principal devices are employed
by those whose aim in life is to harass
business. One is the imposition of ever in
ereasing taxation; the other is the imposi-
ton of ever increasing restrictions ander
the guise of regulation.
It can not be denied that both taxation
and regulation are necessary, If I'M
pleasant, accompaniment of government.
1t is the extent of taxation and the degree
of regulation that are important. There
seems to be no limit to the burdens which
some legislators are willing to place on the
larger business enterprises.
Under present conditions it would be
well to avoid making these burdens heavier
than they are already. The agitators who
clamor for more taxation and more reg
ulation might we'll take a holiday until
business and industry get on their feet
again
