name of relief. The unem-
ployed have been told that if
they do not support the Presi-
dent they will be thrown off
the relief rolls. Scores of mil
lions of public money have
been poured into Pennsylvania
in a desperate effort to carry
the State in the coming cleo
ton. No one knows better than
the people Of Pennsylvania the
growing resentment of the pub

so callous to public decency
that it tries to force people to
sell their votes for bread.
When I take office as Chief
Executive I shall put an end to
the use of relief funds for po-
htical purposes.
And I shall put an end to the
use Of public funds for the build
ing and maintaining of a propa-
ganda machine in Washington.
This has been a growing evil for
many years, but never before
has it even approached its pres

growing abuse. The national

this bureau was established to

to take the budget estimates of
the various departments and

spending the President assured
us we would not get. When he
demanded a blank check for
1890 million dollars he said it
--ould be used for useful prof.
ects. In fact, he said: ITO put
1000 men to work with picks
and shovelS to dig up water
main on one side of the high
way, and lay it again on the
other side Of the highway, is not
only a silly project, but it de-
stroyS the morale of the men
who are doing the job"
Resettlement Project
The President was right. This
kind of work does destroy mo-
rale. But taking up a water
main on one side of the high
way and laying it down again
on the other is not as bad as
taking up people from one part
of the country and putting
them down in another. Two
hundred and seventy-five mil
lion dollars was allotted to this
resettlement project. 1t cost
more than the whole standing
Army of the United States last
year. ALI the new soak-the-rich
taxes of 1885 could not pay
for this one piece Of extrava-
gance alone.
When we do things like that
we have lost all sense of pro-
portion. No government can
afford such waste. 1t can
afford it least of all when its
people are struggling out of a
great depression.
But there is an even more
serious side to this violation
of the constitutional rights of
Congress. This is the enormous
power which money gives the
President. It enables him to
Short-circuit State governments
and thereby to exercise powers
not granted to him by the
Constitution.
But even this is not all.
This Administration has used
the power of the purse to do
more than break down home
rule. This Administration has
used it to coerce voters.

If we continue our spendthrift

WV wv Wv tN'
miniStration is extravaganza
with the peoples money-our
money. And it is the peoples
money-our money-that has
been used to create the most
sinister political machine Of
our history. No words of ideal
ism, no claims of good inten-
ton, can shift the responsible
ity for this machine. The re-
Sponsibility rests upon one
man-and one man alone. 1t
rests upon the President of the
United States.
Who is going to pay the bill
for all this spending? We are.
Who is paying the IL billions
which this Administration has
already collected? We are.
Who is going to pay the addi-
tional Is billion dollars it has
borrowed? We are.
Who is going to pay if this
extravaganza continues? We are.
Who is going to put an end
to this extravaganza? We are.
We are the taxpayers and it
is the taxpayer who foots the
bill.
every Man Who LabOrS"
Speaking as a candidate for
election in 1882, the President
said, Taxes are paid in the
sweat of every man who Ia
borS," but speaking as a can
didate for reelection in 1886,
he would have us believe that
taxes are paid only out of the
Golfers of the rich.
How forgetful the President
must think we are.
Speaking at Worcester last
Wednesday, he made the state
ment that consumers taxes
the hidden taxes which fall
much more heavily on the poor
man than on the rich-had
been reduced during his Admin
lStratlOn.
This is an amazing state
ment. It as an amazing state
ment because only a year ago,
in a public letter dated Septem-
Der 2, 1885, he said exactly the
opposite. This was the famous
letter in which he offered a
breathing spell" to all business.
In his letter he wrote these
words:
I'm 1929 consumers taxes
represented only 30 per cent Of
the national revenue. Today
they are so per cent"
Just how forgetful does the
President think we are? The
record proves the President was
right the first time.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-10-27
Taxes are paid in the sweat
of every man who labOrs."

Taxes are paid in the sweat
of every man who labOrs."
1t is not the well-to-do who
are going to pay the piper. They
haven't that much money. If
the Government last year had
confiScated every penny of all
incomes above $4,000 it would
not have had enough to pay the
cost Of our Federal Govern
men. The bulk of the money
always comes from the men and
women who labor in our work
shops, on our farms and in our
offices.
Power Of the Purse"
One Of the most important of
these safeguards is the provision
that all revenue legislation be
initiated in the House of Repre-
sentativeS. This safeguard was
put into our Constitution for a
very definite reason. It was put
in because the House of Repre-
sentatives is the branch of our
Government closest to the peo-
pie. It was put in because the
men who framed our ConStitu-
ton knew the power of the
purse. They knew that if in
justice was to be prevented, the
people, through their Represent
atiVeS, must control the purse.
This is as true now as it was in
1887.
But under this Administration
revenue bills have not originated
in the House of Representatives.
They have been drafted by the
executive branch of the Govern
ment and driven through Con-
greSS without adequate debate.
Hand in hand with the viola
ton of this constitutional safe
guard has gone the demand of
the President that Congress
transfer to him its control over
the spending of public funds.
BLANK Checks"
Year after year the President
has gone to Congress and de-
manded vast sums to be spent
at his discretion. 1-e has de-
manded blank checks totaling
over $4,000 million dollars. Con-
greSs felt the political power of
these billions. It surrendered its
responsibility over the public
purse-itS duty to protect the
peoples money.
And what happened when Con-
greSs surrendered this response
bility? What kind of spending
did we get? To describe the
kind of spending that deluged
the country we had to invent a
new word-"boondoggling
Public money was spent to
count the trees in the Capital

It is not only a privilege-it is
q great honor-to be speaking
tonight in the city where the
Constitution of the United
States was written. We are en-
tering the last week of a cam
paign in which the fundamental
issue is the preservation of the
Constitution and the American
way of life.
On November the third we
must decide if we want a free
and popular Government or a
Government which concentrates
increasing power in the Chief
Executive. That is the issue in
this campaign.
The President says this issue is
a fairy tale-a political DOGGY
man." He underestimate the
American people. They cannot
be thrown off the track so easily.
They can see through reaSsuring
words spoken in an election year.
The record since March 3, 1888,
is no fairy tale.
We know how planned econ
omy" was foisted on us without
mandate. We know how the
heavy hand of Government
forced it's way into our daily
lives. We know how this Admin
istration has ignored the con-
stitutional checks and balances
established by the men who sat
in this city of Philadelphia in
1877.
Waste, Extravaganza"
Tonight I am going to discuss
a policy that upsetS these checks
and balances policy that could
not have been carried out except
by ignoring these checks and
balances policy that violates
the Constitution. I am going to
talk about the waste and eXtrav-
agance of this Administration.
am going to talk about this Ad-
ministration'S open and impu-
dent use of public money for po-
litical purposes.

jects is to protect the public
funds. 1t recognizes that the
public funds are the peoples
funds-that they do not come
by magic from some in exhaust

public funds is the people. Too

Espionage System During War Described By
 Local Speaker

Robert F. Birt, past commander Nf Corporal Coyle post, American Legion, gave a vivid and interesting description of espionage during the World war at the meeting of Mich ael McGivney circle, 124, Columbian Squires, last evening.
 MT. Birt gave first-hand infor- nation of his work with the French intelligence department during the war and the many undertakings on which he was sent and the exper- fences resulting. It was a gripping portrayal of war days, showing how events on the front" were con- trolled from behind the lines.
 District Deputy John F. Robinson of the Knights of Columbus was also present at the meeting and gave the squires an inspirational address on leadership. Short talks were also given by Father Prior Rev. James Woods and Grand Knight Charles J. Bannon of Sheridan council.
 The second December meeting of the circle, which would fall on Christmas night, was cancelled and no further regular meeting of the circle will be held until Januthy 8. A special meeting of the circle may be called, however, for some evening next week to make plans for the Christmas party to be sponsored for younger brothers and sisters of the squires.
