FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SPENDING
sl2.152 EVERY MINUTE.

Much is heard these days about The
enormous expenditures Of the govern
ment and the mounting debt Uncle
Sam is piIing onto his shoulders Most
of the figures deal in billions. Let's see
if we can reduce these astronomical
figures to a point where they will
come within the understanding of The
human mind.
Recent reports state that the federal
government has spent 17,50O,0OO every
day since July l. That means. that the
government expended s12,152 plus for
every minute of time-day and night
since the beginning of the new fiscal
year on July |. In other words, every
time the clock licked off minute the
federal government had expended s12.-
152, which would be considered a small
fortune by lot of people.
State it another way Every day
Uncle Sam is spending Is million. COO
thousand dollars more than he collects
At this rate year of 365 days would
show deficit Of six billion dollars.
It is said that industry, when il views
these vast expenditures. is fearful Of
political habits based on the spending
Of vast sums. Those being benefited
will favor its continuance and will rush
to the support Of their benefactors at
each election. Such situation is one
that encourages the perpetuation Of re-
lief and the business stimulants that re-
quire the enormous deficits Of the gov

Judge Angstman IS completing his
first term as Associate Justice OF the
Supreme Court. During his tenure of
office he has been courageous and fear
less in his decisions and has never
hesitated to depart from precedent
when not sustained by sound reason,
justice and equity,
AS judges 60, Judge Angstman is to
be classed as liberal and progressive.
The opinions written by him show that
he regards human rights as more sacred
than property rights and that the rights
of the poor must receive the same pro-
lection and consideration as those Of
the rich and that all cases should be
decided on their merits.
Of Judge Angstmans opponent, the
Democratic State Central Committee
says he was engaged in the banking
business for a period of 81 years.

FARM LEADERS ARRESTED
FOR STRIKE WORK

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Donald Wiley,
United Farmers League organizer, and Rus
sell Danielson were arrested on Sept. "a
on charges of sedition for distributing lit
erature to the striking textile workers. The
literature they handed out urged the work
ers not to accept the arbitration proposals
of the Roosevelt board nor the recommend
ations of the Central Strike Committee of
the United Textile Workers to end the
strike.
The United Farmers League, which
Wiley represents, has been extremely ac-
tive among the farmers, gathering relief
Tor the strikers. Russell Danielson is a
direct descendent of the founder of the
town of Danielson in which the two were
arrested. The international Labor Defense
has launched widespread campaign for
the defense of these two organizers.
