His attitude on the Patman

He had not sought permission of

for public office; called Alfred e.

He has given expression to the

Nations Credit Is Safe
The nations credit is safe
today, the president assured con-
gress. He conceded that mere
addition of $2,200,000,000 to
the national deficit would not
in itself bankrupt the United
States. But ne warned that even
the credit of America could not
survive a policy which permitted
government to yield to special
groups.
Finally" Mr.. Roosevelt contin-
ued, II invite your attention to the
fact that solely from the point of
view Of the good credit Of the
United States, the complete failure
of the congress to provide addi-
tional taxes for an additional ex-
penditure Of this magnitude would
in itself and by itself alone war;
rant disapproval of this measure"

tempted the form of meeting its

Our National Emblem
m,, Now A Target

Is the Bald Eagle to be extermi-
mated? Only two eagles, the Bald and
the Golden, are to be found in North
America, the Bald Eagle only in this
country. We have made much of this
great bird, displayed him on our coins
sung of him as an emblem of our
free and widespread land. Now, per-
hitting him to be a target for the
gunner, unjustly charging him with
destroying far more domestic stock
and wild game than the facts warrant,
we may soon wake up to learn that
ne too, with other once well-known
birds, has become extinct.
From 1917 to 1926 because Alaska
was led to pay a bounty for every
deadly eagle it is estimated that TO-
900 had been killed.
