Dear Mr.. Hearst:

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
See by the papers you
threaten 10 leave California.
Your interview intimates you
are sore because Uncle Sam
and California are demand
ing 80 Of 90 per cent Of your
yearly net profits for income
taxes. Don't get excited or
over-pccved about that, Mr..
Hearst. All the income has
teen cut off from one of ev-
cry five persons in the Unit
cd 5 ates and twenty-five
million have been eating gov
ernment bread. Who. in
these times, can or should
pay the running expenses Of
the government-those who
have or those who haven't?
II your income is. conserya-
lively two million dollars an
nually and the government
requires. say an average OF
SIS per cent. that leaves YOU
clear profit of three hun
dred thousand dollars. Won't
that amount keep you out of
the breadline? Can't you
cut the luxuries 10 fit that
sum till these strenuous
times ease up and children
cease TO 20 hungry?
Besides revealing soreness.
your intel view. Mr.. Hearst.
gives some interesting news.
Il is understandable that indi-
visibility precludes your liv-
ing in New York. Florida and
California, all at the same
time. and your statement
that you have lived in New
York the past thirty years is
enlightening. In the w est
you have been looked upon
as a product Of California.
You have been looked upon
as the favored son of the late
poneer. Senator Hearst, In
heriting and enlarging the
great California fortune he
left you. California has been
kind TO the Hearsts and
Hearst estates. and should
you ever slander or turn your
back on her. there are those
who would be unkind enough

UNCONSTITUTIONAL

1t may be that the congress has the constitutional
right to vote a gift of bounty to an individual
citizen. We doubt it.
The congress and the president have gone fur
Their than that. They have assumed and prac-
ticng the right to vote from the federal treasury
gifts or bounties to classes of people, namely the
unemployed, including the unemployables.
They have gone much further than that. They
have assumed and are practicing as the right to
bestow upon. these same classes in New Jersey and
South Carolina gifts and bounties in unequal pro-
portions. They give to the unemployed and unenl-
playable classes in New Jersey more than twice as
much as to the same classes in South Carolina.
Yet this congress and the president presume to
impose the same taxes on the Jersepmen and the
South Carolinians. Jimsmith and Johnsmith u
Newark and Anderson respectively pay the same
tribute to the federal treasury when they buy the
same quantities of beer, cigarettes gasoline.
The unconstitutionality of the procedure is self,
evident. So far, South Carolina has not had man
in Washington to resist the outrageous discrimina
ton. st..
So the South Carolinians are drained of their
scant resources. They are quiet. They are submis-
sive. They are political pacifsts.-C Charleston News

A HIT-A DIRECT HIT

II was dirty dig an unkindest cut, a touche,
,vhep Colonel Frank Knox Chicago newspaper pub
Usher and leading candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination in a speech in New Hamp-
shire recommended for adoption his partys plat
form six unused planks left lying around by the
Democrats. Urging not only their adoption out
their adoption in the precise language IN whieh
have read them because they are taken literally
from the Democratic platform OF 1881 Ooiohei
Knox enumerated:
/ An immediate and drastic reduction OF gov
ernmental expenditures.
g Maintenance of the national credlt by 1ed-
eral budget annually balanced
8. A sound currency to be preserved at all haz-
ards .....,.-.. .,.........
a, Unemployment and old age insurance under
state laws a,
s. Strict and impartial enforcement of the anti
trust laws to prevent monopoly and unfair trade
practices.
6. Opposition to the unsound policy of restrict
ing agricultural production.
Of the six, Nos. and are clean hits. Not even
the most rabid Democrat can contend that govern
mental expenditures have been reduced, the budget
balanced. No. g. the sound currency plank, Is de-
batabe. 1t depends upon the definition OF sound,
affirmative Exhibit of which is the dollar IL IS
still dollar. ......
No. is a departure from the platform but an
achievement in direct action. How could the Dem
ocratic national convention resolve what the states
should do? That plank was in the beginning d
platitude 1t now is reality. ...
No. 5, doubtless reference to the late and be-
ginning to be lamented NRA, is tricky There is
dispute as to whether or not NRA fostered practi-
cal monopolies, but there is not even, slight dis
agreement as to it's intentions. 1t meant to
help the working man and to see that he got what
was coming to him.
No. is glancing blow. There may be, is, we
think, defense against those who cry out in an
guish because the farmer is not producing all he
can but there is no answer to the charge that the
Democrats said positively they weren't going to
and did. '....... .....N

attack remains. We confess even to sort of rue
full appreciation of it.-Charlotte News

in which grow both wheat and
tares.
TO go into the growing field
and root out the tares would be
to destroy much wheat; but when
the grain has ripened and is be-
ing harvested, the tares can then
be separated from the wheat and
burned.
No person is made up wholly
of wheat and no person is made
up wholly of tares. Perhaps when
a persons life here is finished
when he, as field, is ready for
the harvest-then the good in him,
the wheat, may be saved; nd the
bad in him, the tares, may des-
troyed. But what if there should
be so little wheat and so many
tares that the field is not worth
harvesting - what about that!

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

ITO save days argument, let's

the term is generally used in
Washington:
A lobbyist is a person who, for
pay, attempts to influence legisla-
tive or administrative decisions.
Men are hired at huge fees
sums of $4,000 to 100000 have
been common talk here, and one
political lobbyist is reputed to

: Members of Congress are often
indebted for their election to spe-
cial interests seeking favors here
and it is difficult to regard such
p,smbers as much more than
lobbyists themselves.
Many paid lobbyists are able to
get congressman to exert pressure
on departmental officials, for most

another.
