LUCKY ESCAPE

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"Six years Of very hard work
resulted in my being able to save
almost $500. Matt and I had

He and another young fellow had
0 little business Of their own, and
it wasn't doing well, so I gave
Matt my $500 to reStOck his store
and be a little more successful.
"Then found out he was going
into a neighbOring town and
spending the money on a girl who
was no good. To make a long

Many Receive Help Un-
der 0ld-Age Plan

Approximately $500 needy aged
men and women in Montana are
now benefiting under the old-age
assistance provisions of the Social
Security Act. This figure was an
nounced by the National Emergency
Council for Monana and is based
upon a report of the Social Security
Board, summarizing the progress
made under the Act in the eight
months since it became operative.
Montana has established a plan
for aid to the needy aged which,
with Federal aid, provides a regular
income to aged individuals who are
unable to provide for themselves.
In September an estimated $500
persons received assistance under
this plan at a total cost of $4,000.
Approximately one-half this cost
was paid by the Social Security
Board.
Since the state began co-opera-
ton with the Federal Government
under the terms of he Social Sc
curity Act, a total of $305,687 of
Federal funds has come to Montana
to aid it in financing its program
for aid to the aged. Federal aid has
made it possible for the state to pro-
vide much more adequately for its
needy aged than would be possible
out of state and local funds alone.
Still further benefits are open to
Montana under the Social Security
Act. If the state enacts an unem-
ployment compensation law in line
with the Federal act it will be eli
gible to receive funds from the So
cial Security Board to pay all proper
costs of administering this law, and
eligible workers in Montana will re-
ceive protection against loss of in
come due to temporary periods of
unemployment. Further more, if the
state establishes plans for aid to the
needy blind and aid to dependent
children, which conform to the Fed
eral act, it will be eligible to re-
ceive from the Social Security Board
approximately one-half the cost of
its aid OF the blind and one-third
the cost of its program for depend
ent children.
In addition to these cooperative
Federal-state features of the Social
Security Act, Montana citizens also
come under the Federal old-age
benefi system provided by the act.

DISpELLING THE FOG
BY CHARLES NICHOLSON
Director of Publicity, Democratic
ALL. H.--..s4l..
National Committee


The Republican campaign con-
tinues to run true to form.
It began with a platform that
arraigned everything the Roosevelt
Administration has done, and fol-
lowed with a promise to do nearly
everything the present administra-
ton has undertaken. The only de-
parture from this principle was in
relation to the reciprocity treaties.
There Governor Landon appeared
to swing back to the Smoot- Hawley
Tariff Bill, which was one of the
principal counts in the indictment
of Herbert Hoover, that led to about
the most overwhelming reputation
by the people an American Presi-
dent ever experienced.
Even the reciprocal treaty prin-
ciple was not wholly condemned.
Governor Landon thought, in the
interest of international comfy,
such treaties might be arranged,
provided they dealt entirely with
commodities that were not produced
in this country.
AS such commodities are natural
ly on the free list anyhow, coffee
for example; as they do not com
pete with any American industry,
it might seem difficult for anybody
but a Republican candidate to con-
ceive how these things could be
used in trading tariff advantages
with foreign countries. 1t might be
that Governor Landon has in mind
to threaten to put a duty on such
non-competing articles, but that
would hardly do. The only effect
possible if such a threat were car
ried out would be to raise the price
Of them to American consumers.
Even the dupont Liberty Leaguers
would hardly advocate that.
If the tariff beneficiaries who
Jared so well under Mr.. Hoover and
his Republican predecessors could
find some way by which the higher
prices to Americans might be shift
ed to their own profit, it would be
another story.
Now it is old age and unemploy-
ment insurance. Governor Landon is
in favor of both, but he wants the
first to provide larger pensions for
the aged and the second to be
handled by the States and not by
the Federal Government. And he
thinks that the insurance against the
loss of jobs should be taken care of
by a general tax rather than by
creating a fund from the small per-
centages of payrolls and wages. But
he also wants taxes reduced, for a
large part of the Republican cam
paign consists in invoking the
spectre of unbearable tax burdens.
not only for this generation but for
our children and our children's
children.
There might seem to be a con-
tradiction here, but the Governor
does not talk taxes at the same
time that he talks more benefits for
farmers, including a higher price
guarantee with no limitation of
acreage, bigger allotments for the
old people, and the rest of it.
frankly" says the Governor of
Kansas, referring to the old-age
pensions, Il am not in position to
state with finality the total cost of
this PLAN" That's all right, too.

Pennsylvania Sen. Guffey of the

What is the use of being bothered
with how much anything is going
to cost when you are just making
campaign PROMISES?
The sum total of his addresses
appears to be that the Government
should spend more and tax less and
doubtless he includes municipal
county and State taxes, because q
great element in the G. o. P. cam
paign points out how large a per
centage of the cost of everything
figures in the price, although the
Federal Government, to which all
these ills are ascribed, has nothing
to do with local taxes, which are
just about the same as they were
in the Hoover : Coolidge Harding
periods.
Naturally, the question arises how
the minority party figures on win
ming the election on such a pro-
gram. Perhaps the answer is to be
found in some Of the other mani
festations of equally disingenous
propaganda. For example, the anti
Roosevelt press and orators are hail
ing as a great evidence of Governor
Landon's strength that the Balti-
more Sun has announced that it is
against Roosevelt and that the st.
Louis Post-D Dispatch has made a
similar declaration. The Baltimore
Sun has been girding at President
Roosevelt ever since the dupont
Liberty League became active. The
st. Louis newspaper has fought the
Roosevelt policies for an equal
space of time. These conversions
are about as surprising as the con
slant parading of the half dozen
conspicuous ex-Democrats who
signed up with the Liberty League
early in the game. Perhaps there is
a similar explanation of both these
phenomena.
Along the same line is the COM
fort the Liberty League, and the
rest of the minority party, are get
ting out of certain alleged straw
ballots, including the latest cited by
the New York Herald Tribune. II
has unearthed a statistician, who.
discovering that the normal vote is
about equal to the number of news
paper readers, makes the deduction
that the political complexion of the
newspapers is the sure index as tc
how the country intends to vote,
and so figures out a Landon victory
AS, except for the South, prob
ably seventy-five per cent of the
American press has been Republican
for generations, the result to be OBJ
tanned by this process can hardly
be called startling. The statistician
pays no attention to such matters
do lCSlotl dblOll Va PlCNlOuS NOllllS
but, when the purpose is to convey
a particular impression, you have
got to leave out a lot Of things.
AS another example, the showing
up to date of the Literary Digest
poll bears out the theory. Its bulle-
tins so far disclosed are based very
largely on returns from Republican
centers. The poll itself, in its fig
ures on how the voters cast their
ballots in 1882, shows the dispro-
%portionate percentage of Hoover
men represented in the poll. 1t is
notable, incidentally, that up to the
date this letter is written the Digest
t~abulations entirely omit Maryland
