IS PER CENT LEVY
| BY LEADER BANNED
BY OLS0N'S ORDER
Employees Informed There Is No
Necessity for Further
Payments
SHOULD CANCEL PLEDGES
Report Money Being Collected
to Aid in Paying Convict
cd Mems Fines

Acting Gov. Ole H. Olson Tuesday
moved to shut off the flow Of money
to ousted Gov. william LANCER and
the Leader" from state employees,
who pledged five per cent Of their
annual salaries under the previous
regime.
In an executive order, Acting Gov.
Olson directed cessation Of the pay
ments, which according to statehouse
reports have steadily been made de-
spite the change in administration.
It was as result Of exacting five
per cent pledges for Leader" support
from state and federal employees that
LANCER, together with four others,
was convicted Of de:rauding the
United States government two months
ago.
Shortly before LANCER was removed
from office, following his conviction,
his supporters were reported to have
solicited new pledges from various
state employees, as the means Of aid
ing tn payment Of fines assessed by
the federal court.
In his executive order Olson said,
1T has come to the attention Of this
office that q number Of state en-
ployes are pledging five per cent and
i.i some cases . larger percentage Of
their salaries to q political fund.
This Is simply q continuation Of
payment to q political group which
has exacted these amounts in the past
a. q premium for Jobs.
There Is no necessity for such
payments, inasmuch as they repre-
sent money which has been pledged
in many cases under implied duress.
All employees are hereby instruct
ed to refuse all further payments un-
der these pledges should they 50 de-
sire.
1T Is the constitutional right Of
any person to voluntarily contribute
money to any purpose II he so desires,
but there can be no liberation Of con-
tinuation Of payments by state en-
ployes under fear Of losing their
Jobs, or fear Of political vengeance. II
they fail to contribute"
Contributions to the LANCER defense
fund headed by State Senator A. F.
Bonner, Jr., are reported to have ex-
ceeded $4,000. The money has been
collected In pledges among support
ers Of the LANCER group.

More than q million cattle will be
left in North Dakota after the COM
pletion Of the governments present
buying program and the government
will keep them fron, starvation.
Nevertheless. there will be no whole
sale distribution Of free feed such a.
that which marked the operations Of
the livestock division Of the Federal
Emergency Relief administration last
winter.
On January I, according to official
estimates, there were l,e5OO00 cattle
In North Dakota, but more than
100000 have been shipped out by the
government and 100000 more will 20
before the exodus Of livestock ends.

main has been considered by the
government and plan is ready, but
II Is q new one which dovetails the
operations Of all federal agencies de.
signed to help the farmer The Job
will not be left to the FERA alone,
as was practically the case last
winter.
At first glance, In view Of the re-
duction in the number of cattle, It
would seem that the problem win
rot be Is pressing this year g 1t was
last. but this IS not the case. II
1t may be worse, because
feed and forage conditions now are
ct the lowest point In the states his
tory.
A year ago, with nearly 1000, 900
cattle. $1,000 tons Of hay and $500, 900
bushels Of grain were distributed in
either work or direct relief.
This year, with about half IS many
cattle, in view Of government pur-
chases and private sales. the amount
o. hay to be distributed BY the gov
eminent will most certainly increase,
Ii the view Of federal experts, be-
cause Of the scarcity Of forage in
every district except some counties Of
the Red River Valley.
More Farmers Need Help
Farmers who had enough feed last
year to see them through Will need
help this year. Others who needed
help only late In the winter viii have

because they have nothing now.
The probability Is that less grain

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-02

Again emphasizing the attractive qualifications of their candidate for the position of high sheriff of the Litchfield county, members of the special campaign committee in the interests of Sutherland Beckwith, l issued another radio appeal yester- day from Station WATR. Efficient and vigorous discharge of the du. ties of the. office are promised the electorate by the friends of Litch- fields favorite son among demo- crats. The New Milford Times is quoted in it's praise of MT Beck
 with's ability.
 The address broadcast was as follows:
 The time is nearly at hand to vote for high sheriff of Litch- field county. We cannot empha- size too strongly that this vital
 question is of more than ordinary
 importance in this particular elec-
 tiOn. We, the members of the
 campaign committee supporting
 Captain Sutherland A. Beckwith of
 Litchfield for high sheriff, want to
 stress again the necessity of mak-
 ing this decision on a practical
 basis. The man who is elected to
 the sheriff's office will be required
 to administer that office vigorously
 and efficiently for the next four
 years. MT Beckwith, a man who
 knows and understands Litchfield
 county, who is equipped by educa- tion and experience to hold public office with great credit to himself and to Litchfield county, is the one man who can be thoroughly relied upon to carry out all the responsibilities of this office,, as well four years from to-day as to- day.
 MT Beckwith Is a good neigh bor of the, present sheriff, who is now opposing him in this cam desire to take away from the he has earned during his long
 years of holding public office. But
 the Beckwith Campaign Commit
 tee feels compelled by the facts of
 the situation to insist that Mir
 Beckwith to-day has superior qualifications.
 We wish to read an excerpt from a prominent Litchfield county newspaper, the New Milford Times: "As a graduate of Yale in the class of 1916, MT Beckwith is one of the best known men in the county in university circles, and as a native of Litchfield and a descendant of early settlers, he Is primarily of, and for Litchfield county. Beacuse of his many friends in all walks of life, his life long residence in the county and his sterling character and strong convictions in matetrs vitally af- fecting the welfare of his neigh
 bors and friends, it is asserted by those close to him that he will

1 draw heavily in votes from the | ranks of independent voters, re- gardless of party affiliations and | factional alignments."
 1 We are grateful to the New Mil i ford Times for its high regard of our candidate, and are likewise grateful to the press in general,
 insofar as 1t circulates in Litchfield county, for the many tributes paid | to Mir Beckwith's character and l ability. We appreciate, for ex- | ample, such comment as that made in the Waterbury American, which stated: ''The emergence of Sutherland Beckwith of Litchfield as one of the outstanding demo- cratic leaders of western Connecti- cut promises to be among the
 chief developments of this cam l paign. For some time the party leadership has been gravitating in
 his direction, and as it stands now
 he is regarded as the coming man."
 These tributes from such im- portant sources are gratifying. Un- doubtedly MT Beckwith himself
 read these articles with a certain pleasure that would be natural
 and human. But as the candidate for sheriff of Litchfield county,
 MT Beckwith is more concerned
 with his determination to earn the
 unanimous approval of every one
 in this county through devoted public service. It would be hard to find a man so ideally fitted for this office by temperament, i,
 native ability and training. Bu.
 above and beyond these qualities, l MT Beckwith has honesty, reliabil- ity and determination in degree
 which comments him to the con-
 fidence of all who know him.
 I We urge all the voters of Litch- Efield county to go to the polls on
 Tuesday and cast their ballots for
 Sutherland Beckwith and for the
 entire democratic ticket"
