Government Economy
Is Urged by Haney

REFORM" I call for caution and
careful study. And I am GER
tain that all the necessary re-
lief could be given at half the
cost now being incurred.
Taxpayers have a right to
economy government. That is
possible only when there is a
careful balancing of income and
expense, and a weighing of ben
efitS against costs. But when q
government starts out with a
W1shful plan" of reform, the
only thing it considers is how
much taxes are required, and how
much it can borrow against the
taxes we will pay in coming
years.
So I, for one, call for a New
Deal in the shape of a square
deal for the average taxpayer.
First, we should separate the
relief program from the reform
program, and give the relief in
the most economical way.
Cranky, I don't like the idea
Of my hard-earned tax money
going to enable a lot of people
to buy automobiles and gin.)
Then we should take enough
time to consider each sO-called
reform" on its merits.
I want safe, we'll organized,
prosperous and happy nation. But
I am not sure just how much of
the New Deal that requires, and I
want a more careful appraisal.
doubt the wisdom of the proposed
Government purchase of So-called
sub-marginal lands. I don't like
the idea Of forcing industries into
monopolistic cartels, nor the en-
trance Of the Government into
the banking business.
I don't see any sense in having
Uncle Sam buy silver at 64h
cents an ounce, when I can get
all I want at At cents.
I can't see any sense in asking
me for tax money and then using
my money to raise cost of living
by boosting prices.
Something wrong when a
billion dollars comes to be but
drop in the bucket, and a gov
ernment saves a few thousands
by cutting pOStmen's wages
while spending billions in the
quest for someone's vague ideal
Of social justice.

and representatives of the banks them
selves and Of the public would have
full opportunity to air their objections

February, the N. R. A. will hold an

bated yesterday, are regarded by N r.

are not operating under the code and
that the price provisions are having

NO JAIL WANTS HIM;
MAN, 70, HAS SPENT
HALF HIS LIFE THERE

I have spent more than half
my life in Jail, Henry Morrison,
70, of 1919 Bates street, testified
before Floyd Mannon judge pro
tenn, municipal court three, today
when he was fined SIS and costs on
a charge Of drunkenness.
Both Morrison and his attorney
said that he had been arrested at
least 300 times during his gener-
GUS span of years and that neither
the state prison nor the state farm
wanted him back again.
This was corroborated by the
parole officer who has been in
charge of Morrison since his re-
lease from the Indiana state pris-
on a year ago. The officer said
that Morrison had been arrested
eight times and served 200 days
in Jail since his release and that
no institution wants him.
In asking for leniency, Morrison
said he had ar opportunity to
work for a Charles Abbott on a
farm south of Martinsville. Judge
Mannon offered to release him if
he would bring Abbott to court to
vouch for him.
Il can't do that, judge" said
Morrison. abbott is in the prison
at Michigan City"
You had better go across the
street to the jail and get cleaned
up" replied the judge.
