to catch votes. People know that
our country today is as far from
communism as it ever was. The
president has spoken on this subject
in unmistakable terms; and as to
saving the constitution, no man who
ever sat in the White House has
done more to save the constitution
than has President Roosevelt. The
constitution is not in the hum
dredth part as much danger today,
as it was under President Hoover.
They would make much to do about
the supreme court decisions against
the New Deal OF the many acts
taken to the supreme court, how
many were declared unconstitution-
al by a unanimous decision of the
judges? What about the instances
where there were split decisions 6-3;
and several As. Would they con-
denim those justices who voted
against the majority as wreckers
of the constitution? If they do,
as Stone, Cardoza, Hughes and
Brandeis.
The speakers howled about going
back to sane government. Where
would they go-back to Herbert
Hoover? Did anyone of the numer-
Gus speakers Monday night suggest,
or even intimate, such thing?
What one of them praised Hoover?
How many of them mentioned his
name? His is the previous admin
istration, and comparison should be
made with it. Would Landon take
up the government and run it as
did Hoover? The speakers. one and
all, passed over the bank guarantee
act. This to them was minor is
sue Would they do away with it?
Did they say one word about the
president saving the banks of the
country when it was on it's way to
ruin? Did they tell the audience
that during the year ending with
Oct. 1st, there has not been a single
national bank failure in the United
States-the first time in 55 years;
did they tell you that the American
dollar today is most stable money
in the world. and that the Z. S. gov
ernment bonds are at their top
prices. which is the best test Of
treasury soundness? They would
make these things which are the
life of a nation trivial matters-lit-
tie things.

whole picture the cost OF running
government is increasing, not de-

the Republican candidate wanting
in. to "view with alarm" how much
the other fellow is spending At the
Republican rally Monday night, Pro-
fessor Kenneth c. Ray. Athens, can
didate for congress in this district,
made this charge, and while he charg-
ed his opponent with doing things
that should not have been done,
the question naturally presents it.
self, as to what he would have done.
The question for the voters to de-
eide in this election is whether Pro-
fessor Ray as a congressman could
accomplish more than Congressman
Secrest has accomplished. The pres
ent congressman has done more for
this congressional district the four
years he has been there, than did
his predecessor in IA years Com
ing down TO the point, what has Bob
Secrest done that you, Mr.. Ray,
would undo?
Congressman Wadsworth of New
York, the other speaker, spoke
alcng the same general lines as did
Professor Ray. He attempted to
paint a dark picture as to the debt.
He only spoke about what he felt
would benefit his cause He ridicul-
ed the idea of spending money in Or
dor TO get out of debt, which on the
surface sounds very logical But
let us consider it briefly Suppose
a farmer buys a farm that is all run
down, no improvements, with
h2d living conditions; the lane lead
ing to his property in such condi-
tfon that il is we'll nigh impossible
70 travel to and from his home;
fences in bad shape; the land all
fullied and worthless; soil unpro-
ductiye, etc. He has no stock, no
machinery for farming, no fertilizer.
There is q debt on it, Would it be
coed business to say Il must not
spend any money on that farm,
must clear it first Of debit" Is such
reasoning good business sense?
That farmer knows that before he
can hope to do anything toward re-
ducing his debt he must spend mon
ey to get his place in better shape.
He must invest, he must spend mon
ey before he can make money, and

that is just the position that the
present administration has taken.
The speakers cried to high heaven
about the debt, but they did not say
one solitary word about the income
Here briefly are the figures In the
last year under President Hoover,
our national income was 38 billions,
and Mr.. Hoover left office leaving a
net debt of Is billions, which was
48 percent of the peoples annual
income. Today the national income
is 60 billions-42 percent of the an
nual income. And in the debt today
remember is the two billion dollars
Of the soldiers bonus, and against
this the government has two bill
lion dollars in gold profits, a two
billion income in the general treas
ury fund, and another two billions
invested in bank stocks, loans and
other repayable assets, such as the
Home Owners Loan Corporation
which has saved thousands Of fore
closures on homes and farms; SO
that the net increase in debt is cut
down to seven billions. The govern
ment shouldered a war debt of 25
billions to save Europe President
Roosevelt felt that it should use it's
credit to save its suffering people in
national catastrophe. Had Hoover
used government. help in the proper
manner, it would have taken less
spending and lending to stop the de-
preston. The gross national debt
today is but $5 per capita more than
1t was after the World war, and in
the debt today is included bonus
charge Of over SIS apiece We re-
duced the debt then. and we can,
and we will under President Roose-
welt, reduce it again. The first step
TO reduce national debt is to tighten
personal debt, and that is being
done. If the government expenses
are to be reduced, why did not the
speakers say what they would re-
duce? Would they not have passed
the bonus; would they cut relief;
are they going to cut aid to the
farmers, and home owners; are
they going to cut army and navy
budgets? What WPA projects in
this district would Professor Ray
not have advocated?
To be expected, both speakers

Readers of Don Quixote recall the
quaint PHILOSOPHERS of Sancho Fanza, his
ignorant but shrewa squire. Somewhere
in the book, Cervantes puts this bit of
philosophy in Sanchos mouth when he
was asked what he wished for Il would
do what | pleased. and doing what l
pleased, l should have my will, and hav-
ing my will, should be contented; and
when one is cOntended. there is no more to
be desired: and when there is no more to
be desired, there is an end of it," That
expresses all the philosophy for content
ment
