SOME TIME AGO Mr.. Farley told
an audience down east, Federal re-
lief money is the measure between
good times and desperate times in
New England" In a more recent
speech he declared, at was because
we had a man at the head of our
country who dared put the props un-
der the tOttering structure of bust
ness, that business was able to con-
tinue.' Republican argument all
along has been that the New Dealers
merely borrowed and spent money
for temporary effect, or just exactly
what they promised not to do before
the 1882 election. Now Farley con
firms the change.
By the simple process of borrow
ing against future earnings and
pouring the money into various ac-
tivities, with little regard for their
usefulness, the New Deal has Great
ed synthetic prosperity. But an
overloaded gun is apt to kick harder
than it shoots. Despite the highest
taxes this country has ever seen, the
combined national and local debt
burden has been increasing at the
rate of seven billion dollars a year.
In the last four years, every wage
Garner in this land has had an addi-
tion of about 5000 to his part of this
load.
The joker is that the relief bill this |
year is the greatest ever. This is 4
poor advertising for the boasted
prosperity. No wonder Mr.. Roose-
welt avoids explanation of how he
proposes to balance the budget and
reduce the debt-and these things
must be done-and still insure con-
tinuance of his prosperity. Or
course, with reelection the immedi-
ate object, the safest plan is to re-
peat the old assurances that every
thing is lovely and that you can't
nufJ rlcn country like ours. Mr..
Roosevelt's only hope, and our only
hope, lies in stabilization of govern
mental policies so that business may
proceed without fear of loss by con-
iiscation. If the President were as
as his friends proclaim
him, he would have acted in that di- !
'ection long ago. He prefers a New
Deal victory TO a national victory.
True prosperity must include the
element of actual and permanent !
yain. Any man may borrow thou 4
and dollars and. by spending it for ]
God, clothing and luxuries, appear

the social security act on the right
road.
AT present tEis legislation, accord
ing to Abraham Epstein. one of the
foremost students of the subject in
the country, might better be called
the social insecurity act" 1t is a
deception upon the employers who,
beginning next January 1st, will be
taxed one per cent of their wages to
finance the program. 1t will cost
them 30 or 40 per cent more than
the same kind of protection could be
purchased for from a private com
pany.
Employers all over the country
now are getting ready to wrestle
with the accounting job that will be
involved January 1st, when they be-
gin to make a deduction Of one per
cent from the pay of each employe
for this Social insecurity" The de-
ductiOn, which is an income tax for
which no exemption can be claimed.
will rise to three per cent. No bene-
fits can be paid before 1912. and then
not unless you are IS and you quit

Employers also will have to make |
contributions, so if you have |
been counting upon an increase in
your pay you might as we'll kiss it
goodbye until the employer has a
chance to absorb this deduction.
Don't blame him, blame Roosevelt.
All of which makes it harder to
raise the American standard of liv-

GOV. ALF M. LANDoN'S CLEVELAND
speech marked high spot in tn,
Presidential campaign. He attacked
the human problems involved in this
fight over the presidency.
Gov. Lardon told again that he will
balance the budget which means
more to the man out Of a Job
than it does to the captain of indus
try, because it insures the former a
chance to get a regular job at regu-
lar pay; while to the latter it means
opportunity for long-range planning
by means of which employment can
be created. The New Dealers would
have you believe that capital doesn't
want to provide work: the fact Is
that capital must seek the opportuni-
tv for work. In seeking opportunity
for work, it creates Jobs.
But Gov. Landon told the unem-
plOyed that he would deal with them
understandingly and intelligently. AT
the same time he told those who pay
the bill that relief program will bs
set up to take care of those who want
to work at regular jobs and haven't
got them. and not on the basis OF
politics or to meet the whims OF
those who wouldn't work if they had
a job handed to them on a platter.
AS we all know. the latter are in
hopeless minority.
Gov. Landon's' Cleveland speech is
a charter of liberty and promise for
the unemployed; a death sentence
for the political explciters who have
used them for selfish purposes year
after year. and revealed a great man
with a big heart and keen under
standing of problem which has per-
picked the nation, largely because it
has been used shamefully as a po-
litical football.
1t has been used to make sure that
the New Deal administration would
be restored to power. If he is elect
ed, politics go out of the relief pic
ture. Gov. Landon said. and what a

} AS ALFRED E. SMITH pointer
/ out in his Philadelphia address, We
are witnessing the destruction of a
} political party by one Of its leaders
who has scrapped the platform upon
which he was nominated and elected
in 1882.
This is matter of moment to
others than Democrats; it affects the
welfare of the nation, because a virile
organization is being scrapped to fos-
ter the alien ideas which have be-
come part of the New Deal philos-
Ophy.
The withdrawal of the Democratic
candidates for governor and senator
in Minnesota, as a result of ROOse-
velt deal" definitely links the Presi-
dent with the radical element and de-
strOys the older party in the state,
according to the Kansas City Star,
while the Minneapolis Journal de-
clares that the IDEAL" is of doubtful
value to him. The proof of it lies in
all the indications that Minnesota
this year is leaning Republican;
Democrats there are not in the habit
accepting outside dictation.
Comments the Omaha World-Her-
aid, itself Democratic:
''The sacrifice of the Democratic
party in Minnesota on the altar of
the Farmer Labor party may be just
ly considered the most significant de-
velopment of the presidential cam
paign," and it proceeds to show that
it was done by outside dictation and |
of the right of the Demo-
Gratis of every state to govern them
The President. himself, was quoted
as commenting upon it:
Boys, it's the greatest thing in the
world for liberal government"
More indicative of the New Deals
studied effort to destroy the Demo-
cratic party is the Roosevelt en-
iorsement in Nebraska of Senator
George w. Norris. again at the ex-
Dense of the regular Democrats who.
however, do not propose to accept
he presidential ultimatum without a
battle.
On par with this is the Roosevelt
in New York state of the
American Labor Party support. This ,
5 predicated upon the theory that by
'lecting him this year a radical I
labor front" can be developed for G
he 1910 campaign. In carrying out I

his support, Mr.. Roosevelt accepts '

HOOVER UNIT
DEFENDEDBY
CUMMINGS
International News Service

AnN&NnAtAOnMA news 5eNVlCS
Long-Smouldering n m os ity
among rival Federal enforcement
agencies shortly may deplode into
a bitter conflict within President
RooSevelt'S cabinet.
This was forecast today as At
torney General Cummings bluntly
warned other government depart
ments against any efforts to bring
about the dismissal or resignation
Of Chief j. Edgar Hoover Of the
Bureau Of Investigation.
Cummings Belligerent
Cummings referred to published
reports that secret service opera
tives and other units were inquir-
ing into methods employed by &c
men" in tracking down several
notorious public enemies. Cum
mings said:
"There have been some activi-
ties of an ilI-adviSed nature. If
anybody is shooting at Mr..
Hoover they are shooting at the
wrong person. He has my COM
pIete confidence. They had bet
ter start shooting at me-"
While w. H. Moran, head of the
Secret Service, operating under
the direction Of Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau, denied his
men are investigating Hoover'S
agents, bad blood" exists between
the two services.
This bad feeling is said to be
an outgrowth of the recent cap
ture in Pittsburgh of Count LUIS
tig, international swindler, in
which both the Secret Service and
Omen participated.
Postal Row Flares
Disagreement also has flared be-
tween Hoover'S unit and the
Postal Inspection Service which
takes it's orders from the post
master general. After Hoover
agents apprehended Harry Camp
bell in Toledo several months
ago, q Justice Department official
accused the postal men of failing
to cooperate in the capture.
Cummings indicated that if any
enforcement units were seeking
to gang up" on the Bureau of
Investigation, he is ready to carry
the fight to the President.

STATION WTIC IN HARTFORD SOLD
Popular Forecaster Will Be Taken From State to
 Providence, R. l.

Station WTIC, 50,000-watt broad caster at Hartford, has already been sold and will leave the state, The Democrat was informed from radio trade circles today. WT1C has been reportedly sold by the Travellers h. surance co. to Cherry and Webb, Providence firm which now oper. ates a station in that city, and will be moved to Boston If permission for such a step can be secured from the federal communications corn- mission at Washington.
 Signed Last Week
 The report reaching this newspa- per was that papers in the deal had been signed early last month, at which time 1t was known that negotiations were in progress. Should WTIC go to Boston. as seems almost certain, the obvious reason is that the Columbia Broad casting System is tied-up in the deal, and that WTIC would furnish a new Boston key station for CBS. In that case, Columbia and the Yankee Network, controlled by John Shepard, would undoubtedly sever relations, with Yankee becoming permanently affiliated with the
