quent applause and cheering.
As boy in Iowa, Mr.. Hoover said
he learned some very simple truths
about finance. I learned that money
does not grow on trees. 1t must be
earned.
II learned that the first rule Of a
successful career Is to keep expendl-
lures within the means of paying
them. I learned that the keeping OF
financial promises is the first obliga-
ton of an honorable man.
"And I learned that the man who
borrows without intent to repay Is
headed for bankruptcy or disgrace or
crime. These may be platitudes, but
they are still truths"

When he said, There is a way to
settle all these questions-that way is
through abandonment of present fiscal
policies and return to sound policies, "

Calf, last October.

society, presented Mr.. Hoover after re-
citing its 50-year history.

warning of their results.
I'VE can express Government ex-
penses in figures" he said. But no
mortal man can compute the costs.
the burdens and dangers imposed upon
l20,000,000 people by these actions.
It's cost in national impoverishment
far exceeds even taxes. Its losses will
be larger than the national debt"
Asserting that the way to settle"
conditions which eve should no longer
tolerate" was by abandonment of pres
ent fiscal policies, Mr.. Hoover outlined
his constructive fiscal program" as
follows:
The waste of taxpayers money on
unnecessary public works should end.
THE administration of relief should
be turned over to local authorities.
Federal expenditures for relief should
be confined to cash allowances to these
authorities to the extent that they are
unable to provide their own funds.
"The spending for visionary and un-
American experiments should be
stopped.
This horde of political bureaucracy
should be rooted out.
