Knocks as Congress
Adjourns Session

Try IN through a grave crisis. Legis-
lation enacted in the I'D congress
and reinforced by tho legislation OF
this session, was enacted with the
expectancy that 1t would help ev-
cry phase Of human and industrial
endeavor.
Salient features Of legislation are
the appropriation Of s4,880, 100000
for work relief, purposely proposed
TO substitute for the dole. II the
people whole-heartedly cooperate
with the government in this great
enterprise, we should hear the in
creased hum OF industry.
Industry has been materially
aided also by the extension Of lend
ing powers to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, Home Owners
Loan Corporation and Farm Credit
Administration, thus making 1t
possible for the self-reliant to re-
establish themselves and continue
with government loans instead Of
direct government relief.
A bill declaring a moratorium on
farm mortgages, coupled with the
increased powers to the agricul-
tural adjustment administration,
will further promote the comeback
that agriculture has made and give
to the farming interests. additional
courage. The senate has voted to
assist the tenant farmers and share
choppers.
TIE social security bill, providing
a system of old-age pensions and
unemployment insurance, Is an
outstanding enactment that, work
ing in cooperation with the states,
will give a definite feeling Of sec
urity to the aged and unemployed.
The law revising the central
banking system will improve our
banking methods and give further
security to financial interests. The
extension OF deposit insurance con-
tinues the faith OF the individual
small depositor in our banks.
Enactment OF a law placing pub
lie utility holding companies under
government regulation gives further
security to the investing public and
consumers.

There is nothing impractical about il.
1t is the most practical piece of public robbery
in the world.
1t is a graft, pure and simple, and it supports
more worthless people than all the other forms of
racketeering and robbery in the country.
The politicians live upon this tax graft. The
families of the politicians live upon it even to the
most distant relatives.
The friends of the politicians live upon it. The
families Of the friends of the politicians live
upon it.
The supporters of the politicians live upon it
and the families of the supporters of the politi-

. UTOR to the

IA UTOR 10 the
Hearst Papers speaks
of the impractical ide-
ology inspiring the
policy of destructive
taxation.
That isavery polite
way of putting il, but
we mightas well speak
politely of the playful
and impulsive acquis-
i~tiveness of the gentle
man who thumps us
on the head and rifles
our pockets at some
dark street corner.
As a matter of vivid

All the time the politicians are assuring the
people that they are doing all this damage in the
public interest, when they are not even thinking
of the public interest, when they are thinking of
nothing but the interest of the politicians and the
reelection of the politicians to office and the re-
tention of the families of the politicians and the
friends of the politicians and the supporters of
the politicians on the public payrolls.
The politician is always thinking of HIM
SELF.
The politician taxes everybody but HIM
SELF.
No burden of taxation is allowed to fall on his
c~arefree shoulders.
His income is always ~tax-free.
His income is always free of curtailment.
His secretaries, his personal organization, are
free.
His business quarters are free.
His travel expenses to and fro are free.
Even his mail is free.
And his Congressional speeches, those windy,
wordy speeches, most of which are not even de-
livered, are distributed free all over the United
States, at a cost to the TAXPAYERS, to the use
full, productive element of the community, of
over seven thousand dollars "A DAY.
The parasite politician is a free talker, a free
liver and a freebooter.
He rides free, and he rides on the bowed back
of the burdened taxpayer.

Distinction for the Parasites

For the good of the country, he must cleanse
his hide of parasites.
For the good Of the country, he must teach the
voters that the politicians are living upon
THEM; that the politicians are eating the SUBJ
stance which should make for prosperity; that
they are costing the country millions of dollars a
year which should 60 into wealth producing and
labor-creating industry; that all the energies of
the nation nowadays are going to the support Of
useless, unconstructive, uncreative politicians;
that the politicians not only do no good but do a
lot of actual harm.
They are for the most part ignorant and In
competent.
They have been for the most part failures in
the varieties of activities which they have pre-
viously pursued, and if they had to go back to
work would be failures again.
Still, the politicians feel that they must do
something to justify their existence and their
position on the public payroll, so they NEEDLE
and muddle and hinder and hamper and injure
and interfere and put burdens on business and
drop monkey wrenches in the machinery of in
dustry and plumber and blunder and prevent pro-
gress and prolong the depression and keep pro-
duction from increasing and unemployment from
decreasing.

The big feas which have little heas upon their
backs to bite EN- and the little heas with lesser
fieas and so ad infinitum are nothing compared to
the political parasites and THEIR political
parasites and all the parasites of the PARA
SITES clustered on the backs of the taxpayers to
bite them and bleed them and live off them idly,
luxuriously-gleefully and u~selessly.
As the taxes increase the swarms Of political
parasites increase and fatten and propagate.
approximately five thousand million dollars
in salaries to politicians are paid out every year
by the taxpayers of this country, and this enor-
nous amount is increasing every year.
Over three million two hundred and fifty
thousand politicians and their families and
friends are on the public payrolls, and this num-
Der is increasing every year.
Over ninety thousand new names were added
to the Federal payrolls alone last year, and there
were proportionate increases in all the one hum
dred and seventy-6ve thousand town govern
ments, township governments, city governments,
district governments, county governments and
State governments of this afflicted nation.
All the unnecessary governments and all the
superfuous politicians are demanding and inn
posing more and more taxes on industry, more
and more taxes on property, more and more taxes
on productive pursuits, and more and more taxes
on the public generally.
, 1935-08-27

What are the taxpayers going to do aboutits
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, splendid ex-
ample of the honest, patriotic type of politician,
has shown how to get rid Of the parasites.
He has, by popular referendum, created a law
which abolishes one house of the State Legis-
lature.
Many other Examinations of useless politicians
and reductions in the cost of government can be
accomplished in the same way.
The public is ready for the reform.
In States where there is no referendum there is
another means available.
The taxpayers can organize closely and simply
refuse to pay taxes to be dissipated in riotous ex-
travagance.
The public will soon find that the ancient Con-
fucian motto, mo tickee, no shirtee," still pre-
walls.
The public will find that where there Is no
plumber there are no parasites.
Atleast three million of the three and a quarter
million parasites on the public payroll will lose
their enthusiasm for public service if their part
of the fve-thousand -million-dollar pay check 10
not regularly forthcoming.

The main business, and apparently the only
business, of most of these politicians is to devise
plans to plumber the people and to secure more
money to keep more parasites on the public pay
rolls, until now over thirteen thousand million
dollars a year, nearly one-third of the whole ma
tioaal income, goes toward defraying the con-
stantly mounting costs Of inefficient government
and constantly increasing numbers of useless and
worthless politicians.
Moreover, these increases in expenses, these in
creases in parasitic growths upon the body poll
tic, these increases in unbearable tax burdens,
will continue until the victim, who is the tax
payer, sickens and dies, or until he acquires sense
enough and strength enough hi to rid himself of the
political vermin which infest him.
All the patient needs is a good disinfecting,
and the patient himself must do that job.
You cannot expect the parasites to employ the
disinfectant on themselves.
You cannot expect them voluntarily to give up
such satisfactory blood-sucking.
"A leech will drink until it is full and then fall
off. but a politician is never full. He never lets

tim dies.

ones.

four days, Ely's Arrowhead baseball
club defeated the fast Duluth Dixie

crowd and came back Sunday to down
the Tower-Soudan Colts, 8 to 5.

the Colts, the Arrows let down in the
fourth and the visitors tied the score
with a rally Three errors and two
hits accounted for the runs. The visi-
tors hopes were short lived, however,
when the Arrows came back in their
half of the same inning to count three
times. From then on the local lead was
never threatened.
John Grahek. Ely's big southpaw,
struckout 13 Colts and allowed hits.

CIVIC BUILDING
PLANS DELAYED
Complete Plans, Specifications
Are Demanded by ERA
Officials.

Progress on the proposed construction
OF a new Community building here is
at a Standstill this week since the re-
ceipt of letter by the city council
from William NJ. Ingemann, St Paul
architect, advising that ERA officials
demand complete set of plans before
passing on the project.
Mr.. Ingemann was engaged by the
council with the understanding that he
would prepare preliminary plans to be
submitted to ERA officials under an
agreement that if the project did not
materialize the city would be under no
obligation
In his letter last week. however, Mr..
Ingemann reported to the council that
he had consulted ERA officials with a
view Of gaining a decision from them
on preliminary plans. But the relief
officials refused to act on the per-
liminary sketches and figures and de-
manded that the complete plans and
specifications be submitted for their
consideration.
The letter was read at Fridays coun-
ell meeting and the matter was tabled
until city officials could make a
thorough investigation
1t is believed possible that the city
after explaining its agreement with the
architect to ERA officials, may induce
them to consider the preliminary plans
so that the city can be assured of the
success of the project before establish
ing any obligation with the architect.
