 He said there was Q balance of $10 due on the shoes and that when Q young man came to call for the shoes he refused to turn them over unless the balance was paid. The young man then threat ened he would "get" the local shoe manufacturer, the latter testified. He said the girl visited his office four times and paid him sums averaging S2 until a total of $7.50 was paid. He denied he gave her any kind of medicinal treatments or messages.
 The accused joined his wife in the spectators seats after the jury's verdict was returned and the couple was noticeably happy. If found guilty, Morel would have faced a probable states prison sentence.

charged. overheard a conversation
of an army major: "Sure I'm going
to be fired, but I'm not worrying. I'm
going to be hired right back to super

recruits"
Full peacetime strength OF the army
is about $4,000 men. Roosevelt makes
an official 10 per cent cut in the army
and creates an unofficial army Of
250,00O men. To say that this is an
unemployment relief measure is the
height of absurdity.
There is but one conclusion. The
"reforestation corps" is a reserve
army of fresh troops to re-enforce the
weakening morale of the present
army. The effectiveness of the pres

be turned into much more effective

During the election campaign,
Roosevelt held out as a bait for the
masses the fact that he was lin

ance and profit taxes and against

whose burden is actually shifted to
the consumers of these necessities of
life on a per capita basis rather than
on the basis Of relative size Of person.
al income"
But now that he is president,
Roosevelt includes among his methods
to raise 1920 million for the finan-
cling Of his public works" program
the very proposal which he previously
admitted would take it's toll mostly
from the consuming masses.
The sales tax, as We know, is
advocated by members Of the capt.
alist class to escape heavier taxes
on their incomes, gifts and estates.
The sales tax is tax on goods con-
sumed, in the main, by workers and
farmers. 1t thus becomes another
effort to burden workers who still
have any kind of a job OF ability to
purchase at least some of the neces-
saries of life.
To Save the Incomes of the Rich.
AS with Hoovers sales tax proposal
six months ago, capitalist newspapers,
such as the New York Herald Tribune
the Hearst press, etc, are conducting
an intense campaign to assure the
passage of the Roosevelt tax. Thus
Hearst's New York American, May
l6, 1888, declares that 1t has been
advocating such a tax "for many
years" and that it would reduce
'burdensome and restrictive personal
and corporate income taxes" He
aimed to sabotage the income tax
which chisels so deeply into his own
fat purse" wrote the Washington
correspondent, Paul Y. Anderson, in
explaining Hearsts backing of the
sales tax.
And to these forces of reaction has
been added the voice of William
Green. Confirmation, in substance
Of the report that President Green
Of the American Federation of Labor
had told President Roosevelt that
sales tax would be acceptable to
organized labor in financing a public
works program, was given May II at
Federation headquarters, says a
Federated Press dispatch from Wash
ington. Thus once again, the A. F.
of L. leadership joins hands with
capitalists and their government with
Roosevelt, Hearst, and the like, in
attacking the standards Of the work
| ing class.
Taxing Food and Clothing.
The 1920 million which it is pro-
posed to raise by means of sales
tax is to be obtained by levying COM
modities on percentage basis-at
about l 1875, 1t is claimed. But the
share extracted from the consumer

loadings. But the increases are wholly
negligible, rarely exceeding more than
S per cent, and averaging less than
per cent.
Thus, the superficial expansion in
certain Of the indices are based for
the most part on inflationary press
ure. There is absolutely no expan-
sion in markets or increase in prr-
chasing power to provide a material
basis for a real turn in the crisis.
Budget Crisis Continues
That this further inflationary pres
sure will have to be applied by Roose-
welt is q practical certainty. The crisis
in the budget, despite the optimism
Of the capitalist press, continues to
grow in severity. The government is
currently running up an enormous
operating deficit. The Roosevelt gov
eminent has introduced distorted
type of bookkeeping into the budget
reports which gives the appearance
of Improvement in the budget. Over
one and half billion dollars which
has been paid out to the r. F. G. is
not directly charged to the budget
any longer. Large advances to the
Federal Land banks and to the Agri-
cultural marketing funds are no
longer included as expenses in the
current budget. When the proper
corrections are made, Roosevelt'S fig
ture of the current deficit $256, 000,-
900, becomes actually a current def
icit of $523, 100000 The deficit from
March 9th to May 9Th this year was
S24, 200, 900 as contrasted with $11 ,000,-
900 last year.
With the budget crisis intensifying,
Roosevelt will mquestionably be
forced to print enormous quantities
Of inflated paper currency.
The outlook, therefore, is for fur
ther initiation in a vain effort to
pump some life into the PROSTATE
body of strangled capitalist produc-
tive system.
