Staggering Public Debt

tenn and without any fair test
of their qualifications.
Civil employees on the Federal
pay roll total 100000. And the
number of civil employees on the
pay rolls of the fortyeight
States and the 10000 other po-
litical units, which the people
are taxed to support, has yet to
be added up. But the total Of
all civil government employees
when arrived at will be found
to be many hundred thousand
more than those now on the
Federal pay roll.
Politicians by the thousand
are borrowing money in the
name of the people.
Politicians by the thousand
are multiplying governmental
units.
Politicians by the thousand are
putting their followers on the
pay roll.
Politicians by the thousand
are taxing the people to meet
these pay rolls and to pay the
interest on the public debt.
This is the appalling mort
gage on the future of America
which is the chief legacy to the
people from government of pol.
iticians, by politicians, for pol
iticians.
AS a candidate for President
Mr.. Roosevelt said at Pittsburgh
three years ago next month:
Takes are paid in the sweat
Of every man who labOrs, be-
cause they are a burden on pro-
duction and can be paid only
by production"
WAY TO REMODEL
The debts and taxes which
their political bosses through
out the Union are piling up year
after year will be paid in the
sweat of American generations
yet unborn until this ram
Shackle structure Of government
of politicians, by politicians, for
politicians is remodeled.
And the way to remodel 1t Is
not by overthrowing the Gov.
ernment of the Constitution, as
some politicians would have the
people believe.
The way and the only way to
remodel this ramshackle struc-
ture is to rescue the Govern
ment from the greedy grip Of
politicians and restore it to the
control of the people.
This the people can do for
themselves by four major oper-
ations, the nature of which will
be described tomorrow.

Mrs. HendersOn's Successor

Some time ago Washngtonians were able to get bit OF
amusement out of the frantic efforts of to upset the
entire street plan of the city because she thought that number
was too pebean designate street upon which she owned
considerable property.
The good lady did plain and fancy lobbying OF the
social kind to put her scheme change Sixteenth Street
to Avenue of the Presidents.
Sixteenth Street is still Sixteenth Street.
But now along Representative John j. Mcswain who
takes time off from his duties chairman Of the House Com
me Military Affairs to lead another assault on the street
plan of the city.
Clothed in all the might of his craftsmanship he demands that
Sixteenth Street be changed to Madison Avenue
Mr. McSwain cloaks his scheme for changing the name be-
hind the highly purpose of honorng James Madison
whose intellect was the of Constitution.
is strange however that Mr. McSwan should have had
this idea puny acknowledgement Of the services rendered

There you are, suddenly alone
one a desert, with the darkness
spreading out and out.
Is there any help in that dark
ness? Anything to grip?? Any
thing that will make such bitter
experience worth while? Yes,
there is. But so few of us have
the patience to wait and find
it, And the stronger and smart
er we are, the less patience we
have.
We've always bet on ourselves.
Thought that because we were
clever at money-making we
could outsmart grief. But, of
course, we can't! So after the
first frantic clamor for help,
we run away. Anywhere, to
escape that CHASTITY cavern.
Grab at any comfort or distrac-
tion-however synthetic.
Try to cover our screaming
terror with drinking, laughing,
swearing, gambling-or morbid
grieving and hysterical prayer.
It's all the same in the end.
Anything rather than be still!

And, of course, it all fails.
Leaving us to feel bitter and
cheated. Sneering that there
is no God, no plan or purpose.

more. Yet there never was a

We can tax all our money
out of circulation-and that JOB
is not difficult.
We can discriminate against
those who have a surplus and
prevent commercial enterpris-
ing-but when we do We put
labor off the payroll.
We can and are doing these
things just as fast as politi-
clans and demogogues can work
at the job.
Now, if this is our legislative
object, then we must admit
that the irresponsible dema-
gogue, the political racketeer
and the Utopian dreamer are
doing a first class job right
NOW!
This country needs thousands
of courageous industrial lead
ers. But we cannot encourage
leadership by telling the man
of initiative that We are going
to take from him everything
he makes while we refuse to
share in any loss that he takes

ADDS TO BURDEN
We can keep thirty billion
dollars in bank vaults in the
form of tax exempt securities
or other frozen assets. But
when we do the American pub
lie loses an the benefits OF
thirty billion dollars Of COM

The Greatest Show On Earth
BH John Snure, T.

to benefit the lumbermen, the
argument has become rather
nasty.
Carnahan first declared that
the FILA did not put Title 2 Of
the act into immediate opera
ton but concentrated on Title l,
which deals with the insuring
of loans for repair, alteration
and improvement of real estate.
He further said that Title 2, if
put into effect so that the FHA
could finance new construction
by mutual mortgage insurance,
would have been a boon to lum-
bermen.
Mottett, in an extremely
nasty letter, told CGrndhan
that he distorted facts about
the FHA Which Mottett con-
tended "hGS received almost
universul commendGtion."
The Administrator pointed out
that there had been material
increase in building and home
Improvement because of the
FHA and said that Title 2 had
been effective.
In his letter he said:
"In view of the fact that your
attitude toward this Administra-
ton is so different from the at
titude of practically all others
interested in the building trades,
I can only conclude that your
letter is not really written for
the purpose of assisting in
building up a sound mortgage
system for the country or for
the purpose of fostering the in
serest of the National Retail
Lumber Dealers Association but
for some other motive which you
have not revealed"
Mr.. Carnahan came back with
another missive in which he
contradicted Moffett's statement
The Washington times., 1935-09-06

A man able to make a for
tune is never willing to let his
money lie idle at three per cent
and in this desire to make more
money lies the hope of organ
lied society.
Wealth creates wealth for ally
A barrel of water, bucket
of sand and a sack of cement
in themselves have absolutely
no value to labor or to the
country until money, in the
form of payrolls, puts the water,
the sand and the cement to-
gether and furnishes the lab
ricated material to erect a
building that will pay taxes to
the public for fifty years, vast
ly benefiting labor and the
public even though the man
who puts up the money orlgl-
nally may make a. profit for
himself.
PURPOSE OF CAPITAL
Wealth-in the form of saw
ings or surplus-takes valueless
raw materials and makes OF
them valuable material in their
fabricated states.
That is what capital is for.
Listen to what DR.. Mordeca1
Ezekiel, a prominent bral n
truster, was quoted by a news
paper as having said regarding
the need for capital:
"Even is some system were
worked out for more equal in
comes, it would still be neces-
sary to continue to divert a
considerable part of our annual
production to the creation OF
capital"

sion indefinitely by paralyzlng

Handicapped Schools

Why it that governments local and national which have

not expend money necessary service properly the public

EXAMPLE OF THE FAILURE TO TAKE CARE OF THE
SCHOOLS ALTHOUGH MONEY SEEMS TO BE AVAILABLE
FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE THAT ANYONE CAN
THINK Of
The local school system is about to start new year
The District budget is high.
But the District budget is high NOT BECAUSE THE
SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO HAVE ADEQUATE TEACHING
sAFFs but because other departments of the local govern
ment are spending high appropriations.
This city, supposed be model for the country fell
don Laentaby in the job of protecting its school syS
tenn during the lean years of the depression.
No new schools were built, or virtually
No additional land for school buildings of the future was
purchased
And worst of ALL number of teachers and other essential
employees was allowed fall behind the heavy increase In
pupil enrolment which marked those years.
So when year starts the parents and taxpayers OF
the District can be reconcd to sending their children to
schools to receive their education at the hands OF
teachers in congested and crowded school rooms
While this one branch of the government which the tax
payer is perfectly willing support remains strapped tnan
cay other agencies of the local are able to OBJ
tain adequate funds and still other NEW agencies are created

Socialism Gains
Among Legislators
Many Bills Putting State In Bus.
mess Filed At Olympia
This Session

STATEHOUSE, Olympia, Feb. Is.
st a tie socialism putting the
government into business appears
popular political theory with the
1885 legislature.
Already bills have been presented
to put the state in the gasoline
wholesaling, life insurance, milk
distribution, power wholesaling,
book binding, banking and fire in
surance businesses. Senators and
representatives last session started
the state out in the uncharted seas
of liquor retailing.
Motivating force behind most OF
the bills is dissatisfaction, among
certain classes at least, with the
way private interests are running
their own business.
The house already has passed
lib SIS, signed by IS representatives,
authorizing the state finance COM
mittee to start the state in the gas
oline Wholesaling business. It also
passed and sent to the senate a
resolution urging congress to hav
the national government take over
all banks.
Sponsors Milk Bill
Senator Mary u. FarquharSOn
King, sponsored a bill declaring
milk distribution public utility
and authorizing the state to con-
troll and operate all agencies from
the time milk leaves the dairy until
it reaches the doorstep.
The state Grange earlier in the
session, through Rep. Frank Schulz
IL, Stevens and Pend Oreille. re-
submitted the state fire insurance
bill vetoed by Gov. Martin after the
1888 special session. The state
would insure al public buildings
instead of having it done by pri
vate companies.
Sen. Farquharson also sponsor
ing bill allowing the state to sell
life insurance, making the state
treasurer the administrator.
The power wholesaling resolution
HJR, backed by Senator Homer r
Bone, passed the house 81 to and
was expected to reach the floor OF
the senate this week. It called 70.
a vote of the people on the question
of allowing the state to wholesale
Coulee dam power.
The resolution would bar retail
sale, but sponsors are reported pre-
pairing an amendment to permit the
state to sell power at retail. No
bars now exist in the constitution

Snow At Winthrop
Takes Second Life
Aged Slate Greek Miner Dies:
Found On Trail With Ski
Missing

WINTHROP deep SHOWS
which now cover the ground here at
record breaking depth have claimed
another victim. John Young, aged
Slate Greek miner, was discovered
dead a few miles from his cabin
Sunday by Dick Horn, who had gone
out from the Azurite mine to search
for the missing man.
Young had discarded his pack
and lost one ski en- route to another
cabin before he died on the trail.
He was 83 years old and it is be-
lieved that death was due to ex-
haustiOn.
Ralph Kennison and Walter Dib-
BILE left for his place Monday and
planned to bury him Tuesday at
Slate Creek where he had lived
many years, and where he had ex-
pressed a wish to be buried.
Miner Lost Life
Late in January the body of
James H. Hunter, 53-year-old miner,
was found under six feet of snow
in the Slate Creek region. He, had
been buried under an avalanche of
snow, which swept down the noun
tainside, and died of suffocation.
Three other lives were saved only
because help was at hand and i'm
mediate rescue made possible. Two
women, marooned in a cabin near
here, were buried by a slide which
swept down upon them, and COW
cred them under four feet of snow.
They were dug out and escaped in
jury.
Another Rescued From Slide
Another miner was rescued after
being buried under a slide which
covered him with eight feet OF
snow.
An all-time snowfall record for
the state went to Winthrop on jan
uary 81, when So inches fell, accord
ing to word from the Seattle met
eorology office. Gum ranch, six
miles from here, had 48 inches, and
| Stehekin, north end of Lake Che
Ian, had A inches. Stockhill ranch,
near Twisp, was buried under 40
inches that day.
