NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

A great deal of discussion is now
being had in the newspapers and
among politicians, as to what sub
jects will form the issues in the 1884
and 1886 campaigns. All Of the specu
lation is of course, more or less idle,
as conditions are bound to change con-
siderably within the next few years
and this will vitally effect the political
issues. There is one issue, however,
which will be upon the country before
the next election, in fact within the
next few weeks, unless the signs go
astray, and that is the issue of in
fiation. Unless all signs fail the prob
lem will become acute when Congress
meets the first of the year, providing,
of course, it is not settled in the
meantime. One prominent news SER
vice is authority for the statement
that inquiries reveal the fact that
more than majority of the members
of Congress now look with some favor
on the imitation idea, and that COM
paratively small percentage of the
members are willing to go on record
as opposed. Quite a few of the states
men, of course, are not yet ready to
make any public statement of their
position.
Already organizations are being
formed in various parts of the country
to oppose initiation. How successful
they will be remains to be seen. One
of the most convincing arguments to
date against imitation was made re-
Gently by DR.. w. S. Lands, promin-
ent American business man, who re-
Gently returned from Europe and has
studied the effects of initiation in the
various European countries which
have experienced it in the past. Ac-
cording to the New York newspapers,
Dr. Lands in a recent address to en-
ployes of his company, expressed the
OpllllOIl llldI IllSIC clC oOlhS Cl IOlIC-
Gus impressions abroad in America
concerning initiation, and he added that
monetary imitation, Judging from the
experiences of countries across the
Atlantic, does not in the long run re-
duce debt, aid industry and boost the
value of common stocks. These coun-
tries found, he said, that while the
debts Of governmental units and var
ious enterprises were cut or cancelled
by initiation, they had been forced to
borrow additional sums to carry on
because of the increased costs incident
to imitation, and the interest cost of
the new debts was greater than that
of the old.
The Republican., 1933-11-23

Dr.. Lands said that he believed
that in America the new debts made
necessary by imitation would exceed
those which might be wiped out by re-
duction or cancellation. A study of
the course of 300 stocks in France
during the period of imitation, the
speaker declared showed that at the
end of the initiation period they had
only reached one-half of their pre-
vious gold value, and this, on the
average, only during the 1929 stock
boom.
Investment in common stocks is
extremely hazardous in an initiation
PERIOD" DR.. Lands is quoted as say
ing, because of the tremendous NOR
tality in business. This, in turn, is
due to the shrinkage in the value OF
the working capital, the added cost
of operation, and the tendency to the
overissuing of securities"
Speaking of the effect of initiation
on wages, DR.. Lands declared that in
France, while the wages of the work
ing men seemed to me going up they
were actually being cut in half, while
in Germany the plight of the workers
during the era of imitation was des-
perate. In addition, initiation in France
and Germany cut the value of insur-
ance companies bank deposits, trust
funds, mortgages and bonds. DR.. Lam
dis also pointed to the fact that in
flation in the United States would
greatly reduce the value of the Sc
curities which the various state gov
ernments require savings banks to in
vest in.
The Republican., 1933-11-23

1t is easy to see that initiation is
not a quick and easy way of reducing
or paying debts. Indeed it is apt to
have the opposite effect on the total
Indebtedness, and to wipe out the
savings of the thrifty, while at the
same time bringing intolerable hard
ships to those who work for salary
OF daily wage. Certainly, in hand
ling imitation, now is the time to
"stop, look and listen"

DRY WORKERS
NOT DEFEATED
SAYS MCBRIDE

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. IL. W.P)
The Anti-Saloon League of AM
erica is planning the most vigorous
dry campaign in its history, F. Scott
Mcbride, militant leader, said in a
statement here.
Into every hamlet. village, town
and city the fight will go, Mcbride
said, because we left the local field
too soon. Our campaign has been
too national"
I'VE plan to regain or retain state
prohibition laws in an effort to eX-
tend the dry territory to the maxi
num- he declared. THE league will
work for the election of dry coun-
cilmen in villages and cities, dry
legislators in states and dry repre-
Sentatives in Inc congress"
Mcbride would not concede de-
feat of the 18tn amendment until
SO states have voted against it."
I'VE believe there is chance for
us TO defeat repeal in four of the
six states voting this year, if we can
carry the battle over to next year,
we have fighting chance to stop
the movement"

SEMI-FINAL
SIGNED FOR
MONDAY CARD

In support of the headline bout
between King Solomon and Joe Te-
mario, at the Imperial Valley Attn
letic club next Monday, it was an
nounced today that six-round
semi-final has been arranged be-
tween Kid Jaradoa and Blackie
Olea.
Jaradoa is a coast battler and is
reported to have beaten Young
Austin, valley favorite, in three
bouts at Los Angeles. He is re-
puted to be fast and clever boxer
who carries punch. o
Olea was seen in several battles
here last winter and was crowd
pleaser, putting up a good scrap at
each appearance.
Two other six round bouts are
now being arranged by Pete Blu
zukoS, club matchmaker, giving the
fans % rounds of boxing unless the
knockouts start popping.
Announcement that Jack Demp-
sey will act as referee has aroused
considerable interest in the card.
Many local fans have never seen
the former champion and are anx-
ious to do so.
The balance of the card will be
given out later in the week.

ARABS SCOUT
BRAWkEY MEN

In The 60 practice game that
Central lost to Brawley j. c. yester-
day afternoon, TIE Arabs had an
opportunity to see some Of the
players who will enter the Brawley
j. C.-Central j. G. game Saturday
night, october Ia, on the local grid
iron.
Central's second team played the
most of that practice game yester-
day, and in spite of the score the
team made a good showing against
the Brawley men. George Susuki,
japanese tackle for Brawley, will
probably give the Arabs most of
the trouble in the line. The local
tackles can probably match his
playing ability, however. Others o.
Brawley's veterans are Pat and Tu-
ney Williams, Sam Ellis and several
former Brawley high school stars.
Arabs are practicing hard to over
come the difficulties that spelled
their defeat in the San Berdoo
game. Those who have seen the
boys at work this week are making
J favorable comments concerning the
probable score Of the BraWley J. C.
game. BY Saturday night the local
team will have done its part toward
being ready for the northern team;
| it remains for the student body
and town to do their parts by turn
ing out Saturday night to support
| the team.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Carl Owen
Hubbell today occupied a double
niche in baseball's hall of fame
recognized generally as the greatest
of current pitchers and proclaimed
officially as the National leagues
most valuable player" for 1898.
The long, lean Oklahoman's pio-
neering mastery of three speeds of
the battling screwball boosted him
IN the brief span of one year from
comparative obscurity to glamorous
fame.
Hubbell at 30, was rewarded by
che of the most brilliant seasons III
pitching history. He was the al
most unanimous choice of base
ball experts for TIE most valuable
player award.
Hubbell, who never before re-
reived a single vote in the contest;
scored n out of possible 80 points
in the balloting by committee of
eight members of the Baseball
Writers association of America.
Hubbell is the first National
league pitcher to receive the award
since Dazzy Vance. He is the first
member of the Giants to gain such.
recognition since 1912 when Larry
Doyle, second baseman, won the
old Chalmers award.
The writer's considered Hubbell's
contribution to the Giants Nation
al league pennant triumph and
their world series victory over the
Washington Senators. During the
season, he was the hardest working
pitcher in the league, hurting 309
innings. He was credited with WIN
ming the most games, 2S, and pitch
ing the most shutouts, 10. In adj
dition he set a new consecutive
scoreless inning record when he
went 46 innings without being
scored on, from July Is to August l
In the world series he won two
games, pitching 20 innings without
allowing a single earned run.
