YOU CAN'T ECONOMIZE AND GO
ON SPENDING
Bv BRUCE CATION


The small boy who wanted to eat his
cake and have it, too, was in no worse Tx
than the politician of 1886 who keeps one
eve ON the Job he hopes to get and the 9TH
er on the voters who, he hopes, will hand
it to him.
For the politician, these days, is becom-
ing the victim of a squeeze. He is finding
himself pinned between two apparently
irresistible forces, and there is no sign that
either of them is going to let up.
On the one hand, there is the overwhelm-
ING necessity for strict government econo-
nv; on the other, the equally Overwhelm-
ing need for government to do good many
things that it never dreamed of doing be-
fore.
The said plight of the Office-Seeker, sit
ting right between these opposing forces,
is beautifully illustrated by the recent cam
paign speech of an Illinois gentleman who
is running for the Senate.
This individual, as quoted in the current
New Republic, declared himself thus:
II favor discOntinuance of the orgy of
spending in Washington, thereby reducing
the cost of government and taxation -. |
favor deepening and widening the channel
of the Illinois river . favor deepening
and widening the Hennepin canal
Federal funds should be advanced to the
railroads to repair and rebuild the road
beds and tracks by hand labor In farm
legislation, the government should make
grants to the States-the states to pay
bOuntieS to the farmers for removing %
to 80 per cent of their acreage from pro-
duction.
And there we have it. This politician
takes a bold and fortnight stand for strict
economy-and, in the same breath, de-
clareS with equally bold forthrightness for
policies which would make economy i'm
possible.
You can't laugh it off by saying that this
particular vOte-hunter is not quite right IN
the head, because to some extent every
politician in the land is in the same boat.
The heart-rending plight of the present
national administration, which went into
OlllCe pleuSeu tO cut SONel NO''' ~
25 per cent, is the most notable example
the reductio adj absurdum is the case OF the
Michigan candidate for Congress, who de
manded rigid economy, adoption OF the
Townsend Plan, and payment OF the sold
iers' bonus.
Where do we come out on all this, any
way? We simply can't go on spending
forever at our present rate; but the minute
we start to cut expenses, we tread heavily
on the toes of some vested interest, some
vocal and influential section OF the votln,
populace, some utterly essential aetlvlt!
that has to be done by someone, regardless
And so-what? ~
Perhaps the only way out is for us t.
decide which of the two we want and the
stick to it. We can't have both; by ole
manding both we are giving our office
seekers headaches and turning politics int
three-ring circus.

Of my best friends arc Jews and

and therefore it would simply be
ridiculous on my part to IN any
way, shape or manner try to plant
Il seed of prejudice.
But while you are thinking, try
to remember what you were
taught in grammar school. Let
me help you--as | recall 1t the
Jews, according to their religious
teaching, keep the Saturday holy,
and the Christians the Sunday. |
trust that you now can see why
| made the reference to the Jews,
simply for the above reason. |
further believe that you are slight
ly in error when you state that
some fanatics of the Jewish race
committed a crime in crucifying
Christ. Now was taught that
Christ was the Son of God and |
believe He was and still is. There
fore, Christ was not crucitied by
fanatical Jews and there was no
crime committed, as Christ did
choose to be crucified for the
benefit of us all so that our sins
may be forgiven.
Your letter was rather strong
and you did not give me the bene-
fit of doubt and you went right
ahead and accused and convicted
me, which even if you would not
know your Bible, you should not
have done according to your pro-
fession.
If any of the Jewish residents
have taken Mr.. Ewbank's view, |
hope they will be convinced by
this that | made the reference to
them for the reason stated.

Dear Mr. Editor:
| will appreciate it if you will
allow me space in your valuable
columns to express myself in re-
gard to the DOG POISONING
DEMONS" of this town. There
are some people who do not de-
serve the right either to live or
call themselves citizens Of re-
spectacle community, and among
them are the "DEMONS" who
from time TO time spread poison,
killing out their neighbors' pet
dogs and cats. This happened to
my childrcn's pet dog and others
of the community on Saturday,
April 4th.
Mr.. Editor. how any persons
who call themselves human beings
could deliberately do these things
to Il dumb animal is beyond my
comprehension. If one of these
inhuman brutcS to which a dog is
a far superior animal has never
seen Il little pet dog suffer the
agonieS which come as result
'of poisoning, it would be well for
them to try dose themselves be-
fore placing ii out for an innO-
cent dumb animal. This, in my
opinion, should be considered as
one of The most infamous, low
down, Sneaking tricks which an
unciviliZcd, inhuman brute could
do.
In conclusion, | want to offer
$40 reward for information which
will lead TO the arrest and cOnvic-
tion Of the party responsible for
this dastardIy or cowardly act
which was p"rpctratcd in the vi
cinity Of Druid Hills on Saturday,

Mulatto Proving End

thought that 'Mulatto", tn

month on the Great White Way?
Who would have thought that
Langston Hughes, a colored man
would have the honor of penning
lines that would be spoken over
and over by an i~nterracial cast
(some of them whites from Texas)
on a subject that is sub-rosa talk
by white folks all the way from
the Battery to the Galveston Sea
Wall.
Well, "Mulatto" Is still on the

and there Is no telling now just
when it win close 1t is proving a

You know the story of Tobacco

tho play has taken such a hold on
