The National Economy League.
organized to obtain relief from bur
dens of taxation. would receive
more respect from many people
but for two circumstances. The
first is that the league seems to
have forgotten about every other
kind of economy in favor of attack
ing pensions, bonuses and disability
payments to war veterans. Second,
some of its high officials draw big
allowances from the government
for doing nothing, and hence enter
their economy campaign with un-
clean hands.
Grams who never served in any war
are drawing large allowances for
imaginary disabilities, because of
political pull. But that is no reason
for opposing all disability pay
ments. Certainly the vast majority
of such payments are perfectly JUS

system, rather than its elimination,
is called for Furthermore, there are
many other fruitful places for an
economy campaign before attacking
the war veteran, who In most cases
is getting far less than he deserves
from his government.
But the browning point of the
matter Is the fact that General Per-
shing, retired from the army, still
gets $4,000 a year salary, that
Rear-Admiral Byrd, a leading light
in the league, draws $4,000 a year
retirement pay, and that General
j. G. Hartford, another league-lead-
er, likewise draws a handsome
stipend for government service
while doing nothing. AS long as
these people continue to get large
sums, they will have little success

JUNEAU RAINBOW GIRLS
GET PERMANENT CHARTER

Joint installation of the Order of
Rainbow Girls and the Order of De-
Molay Boys, was held recently in
the Scottish Rite Temple at Juneau.
In addition the Rainbow Girls re-
ceiyed their charter Organized less
than a year ago they would ordi-
narily not be entitled to receive
their charter at so early a date, but
due to the fact that they have dou-
bled their membership as we'll as
perfected their ritualistic work to
a marked degree, the Advisory
Council recommended that their
permanent charter be granted.

AN OLD MANS ENVY

All an old Mans tasks are done
One by one
All his races have been run.
Now he sits by the fire,
Old Grandsire,
Little now his limbs to tire.
All of youths tasks lie ahead.
Roads to tread,
Things to master, and to dread.
Age is like an ancient mill,
Gray and still,
All the grist ground that it will.
Youth can never quiet sit,
Smoke a bit,
With all life ahead of it.
Youth must up and on it's way,
While the gray
Sit and think and smoke all day
Youth must up and sow the grain,
Shift the crane
And | hear youths voice complain
All an old mans tasks are done,
And his fun
Let me tell you this, my son:
Nothing would seem hard to do
If you knew
How an old man envies you.

THE BUY AMERICA MOVEMENT
(Clanton, Ala, Union-Banner)

Officials of the importers associa-
ton are beginning to sit up and
take notice of the way the buy
America movement is growing
over the United States. The default
of certain European nations on their
debt payments has given impetus to
the movement.
The importer-propagandists gave
vent to an old bogy that was raised
during the fight on the Smoot-
Hawley tariff-to the effect that If
We participate as a nation in a
movement to buy goods made only
in America. foreign countries will
retaliate. The import-guild fails to
take cognizance of the fact that the
movement of buying at home start
ed in Europe and that in Great
Britain il has grown so alright
that newspapers, magazines and
billboards are full of it. British sub
jects are spending their vacations
on the English channel instead of
the Mediterranean coast, and where
ever possible are buying only British
produced goods. The movement over
there has grown to fine proper
tions. The other day newspapers
carried a cable dispatch that TOBIAS
co sauce has been placed ON the
blacklist because it has to be import
ed. Tobasco-that is, real tobasco-
comes principally from Louisiana,
and it is to be expected that the
Honorable Huey Long will take due
not of this attack on his sovereign
state.
But why shouldn't British people
spend their money at home and why
shouldn't people in America do the
same thing? The old argument
about the ten per cent of our pro-
duction which goes abroad being
more important than the ninety
per cent we use at home is growing
pretty thin. If the American indus
tries could have the difference be-
tween what they sold at home in
1929 and what they sold in 1882
most of them would be willing to
forget all about exports. But if the
wishes of the import-bund were fol-
lowed we would turn over our great
home market in the expectancy of
getting a market abroad which ex-
lists only in the fertile imaginations
of the gentlemen who are seeking
to get imported goods into America
at profit to themselves.
Let us by all means have foreign
trade but let 1t be built up not at
the expense of the American pro-
Queer. More than fifty per cent of
our imports now come to America
duty free. This talk about a tariff
wall having been built around
America is the bunk. Maybe we
would be better off il we had such
wall. At any rate the depreciation
of foreign currency has destroyed
what protection the American pro-
Queer had, in many lines, and we
need some sort of barrier until the
world money is stabilized. To say
that this could be brought about by
buying abroad and throwing the
rest of our labor out of jobs, is
little too thick to down.
A paragraph or two from the re-
cent issue of the soundly American
Saturday Evening Post very tersely
sums up the situation with regard

VINES PLAYING SOMEWHAT LIKE
 HIS OLD STRIDE
He Won Easily To-day in Straight Sets - Frank Shields Also Was in Great Form

West Side Stadium, Forest Hills, N. r., Sept 6.-(UP)--once more in possession of the magic game which carried him to world su. premacy Ellsworth Vines, of Pasa- dena, Caiif, gained the third round of the mons national tennis cham pionship today with Q 6.i, 6.2, e.2 victory over Ray Palmer. of New York.
 The defending champion. who has been in. q Terrific slump ever since Wimbledon, was hitting with power and accuracy today. and Palmer capable player, was help- less throughout. Especially cheer ing to Vines packers was the dead- liness of his backhand and serv- ice. Not once, but q dozen times. the Californian left Palmer nat. footed at the net with stinging backhand drives that whistled down the side to crease the base line.
 The champioh's only weakness today was his volleying. He did not come to the net often, true. but when he did his work lacked the authority 1t packed q year ago. and he repeatedly over.hit the baseline.
 Frank Shields. of New York, whose play in the past few months has been of the most sensational sort. moved into the third round with a 6-0, 6-2. 6-4. victory over John Nogrady also of New York. Shields played almost entirely from the baseline where he invariably ended long rallies with steaming forehand hots to the corners.
 Another seeded player. H. c. N. Lee. of England. advanced along with Shields. Lee, playing well within himself, turned back Henry Culley, of Los Angeles, 6-2. 4-6. 6-1, 6-2.

JOHNSON SAYS
 HENRY FORD HAS

Chicago. September 5 - (UP)I - General Hugh S. Johnson, Na- tional Recovery administrator. said today that "It's up to Ford to make the next move," in the dis- pute between the government and Henry Ford over the. efficacy of tho NRA. Johnson said the gov- ernment would take no steps against Ford unless he violates provisions of the automobile code. The force of public opinion. he be- lieves. could react against ,Ford's business interests.
 There is too much hullabaloo over the Ford situation" Johnson declared.
 Ford has violated no section of the code and as the matter now stands his only penalty is that he is not awarded the blue eagle. Nat urally the government is going to purchase no equipment from Q cons cern that doesn't come under the blue eagle and We believe the gem eral public will feel similarly" Johnson said that immediately upon his return to Washington he will go to work again on the coal code

VERMONT VOTE
 WAS VERY LIGHT
 IN EARLY HOURS
General Apathy Hit the People, But the Vets Still Claim They Will
 Win

Montpelier, Vt., Sept. 5-(UP)- Only small fraction of Vermont's electorate was deciding today whether this state shall become the ?5th to ratify prohibition repeal. A mid d-aftcrnoon checkup showed that even perfect weather could not overcome widespread apathy. and that the vote in most sections was extremely light. Wet leaders stuck to their forectsas of a ? to l or even q 3 to triumph for repeal. leading drys continued to withhold predictions, and impartial observ- CTS named ? to l or to 2 as the likely margin for repeal.
 A very light vote was reported in Newport and surrounding towns. In the city itself duringthe first 2 1-2 hours of voting only 175 of a registered vote of 200o were re- corded.
 During the same period In an other northern Vermont city, St ,Albans. only 374 of a registered vote of 4500 were cast. A heavier vote was anticipated late in the day.
 Burlington. St. Johnsbury. and Middlebury also reported light bal. loting. In Rutland a municipal referendum on which citizens could not vote until mid-afternoor held down the early vote, residents not wishing to make two trips te polling places.
