Tax Payments Come
Mostly From Common People.


An hypocrisy which the New
Deal seeks to foist upon the people
is the belief that the rich pay the
bill. But inasmuch as So cents
out of every dollar coming into the
United States Treasury is derived
from concealed or indirect taxes. it
is plain that the common people
pay the lions share. The taxes
which impoverish are the sales
taxes and other exactions which
are concealed in the cost of liv-
ing, and which increase the price
of food and clothing. When you
purchase gasoline, is it possible
that the big oil company pays the
sale tax, or Is it posted over the
gas pump and taken out of the
pocket Of the little man who buys
the gas?

When the law was held invalid
they wholly ignored the Supreme
Court and shifted Historically to
stop-gap measure called the soil

they continue temporarily the reg
ulation Of production which has
been held unconstitutional. This
makeshift is manifest effort to
deceive the farmer The fact is the
administration has no program.
and when this act is also held un-
constitutional an impotent New
Deal will be fioundering helplessly
together with the farmer whom
they seek to deceive.
Agricultural Imports
Grow as Acreage Is Cut.
Our producers, entitled to COM
plete possession of the American
market, have seen that market de-
livered to aliens. The agricul.
tural area removed from produc-
tion in our country is estimated at
36,000,000 acres, and it is further
estimated that the increased inn
portations of agricultural products
into our country require for their
production about the same number
Of acres. AS our home markets
were being invaded by foreign pro-
ducers, our farmerss were, at the
same time, losing portion of their
markets in foreign lands.
Our great domestic markets
should be restored to the American
farmer-in full. The problem of
surpluses which glut the domestic
market must be solved. We should
consider the case of export crops
where tariff protection is ineffec-
tive. The scientific development of
industrial uses for the products of
agriculture opens wide field
which has been blocked by the
present administration. The great
est help for agriculture would be a
national administration which
would rebuild the great American
market by policies assuring the re-
employment of the 10 million un-
employed. The farm problem must
and will be met. without violation
OF the Constitution. without regi-
mentation, without burdensome
taxes, and without any program of
curtailment of ruthless destruction
Of food needs in hungry world.
Sections at Mercy
OF Secret Trade Pacts.
One of the fundamentals Of
established national policy is tariff
protection of efficient American
production. America does not pro-
pose to destroy the opportunity Of
our citizens by giving us this pro-
lection. There is always need for
reform. But what has the incum-
bent administration done in con-
nection with its pledge for such
reform. It enacted in 1884 the
reciprocal trade agreement act.
This law permits agreements to
be made in secret, and without
consultation with the American in
terests affected, and without fair
opportunity to protect those inter-
ests. 1t establishes dictatorship
over our domestic economy. 1t
clothes the New Deal with author
ity to reward one section Of the
country at the expense of another.
It enables these politicians to de-
termine which community shall be
promoted and which shall be de-
stroyed by exposure to foreign

Youth Of Today Faces
Handicap Of False Economics.
The New Deal candidate in his
Baltimore speech Of April employed
the tactics Of the Soviet Union
when he said that flaming youth
had become a flaming question;
that the best that had been done
for youth before the depression
was not good enough then and is
not good enough today. This is
one way Of saying that youth had
been fettered and mistreated in
society controlled by adults. He
insinustes that fathers and moth
ers lack pride in their sons and
that parents and grandparents
are indifferent to the future Of
those who bear their names.
To this insult l answer that no
supposed handicap suffered by
youth prior to the depression can
compare with the. loss sustained
when youth is compelled by the
fanle economies OF the New Deal
to exchange their American oppor-
tunity, to which they are entitled,
for employment in a Federal camp
at $50 per month. Nor can this

Deficit OF $1,000, 600. 600
Piled Up in Three Years.

That was the accumuls tion Of
four years. Let us consider the
accumulation of the last three long
years. For the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1884, the deficit was ap-
proximately four billion dollars For
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1885.
it was in excess of three and half
billion dollars. For the fiscal year

We have continued on the road
toward bankruptcy. Instead of an
accumulated deficit of five billion
dollars in four years. We have
deficit of approximately eleven
billion dollars in three years-but
they are three very long years.
During the same period the Gov
ernment spending has gone up.
Listen to the astounding totals
for three long years: For the fiscal
year 1888. approximately s5,000,-
600 900: for 1884, $1,000, 900 900;
for 1885, S7.40O .000. .000 for 1886.
$500 0OO. 900, and the estimate of
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1887, is in excess of $780,
100000. 1 ask this ques-
tion-for how long a period has
the Federal deficit exceeded that
which the President denounced?
For three long years! For how
long a period has the Federal
spending been kept above the
100000 900 line? For three
long years. For how long a period
has the Chief Executive called
upon the Congress to pass a new
tax bill increasing the tax burden
upon a helpless Nation? For three
long years. For how long have we
lived under the evil trinity of in
creased deficit. increased debt and
increased taxes? For three long
years.

We rid our Government Of the New

lated for three long years. They
have speculated with the billions
of the peoples money Just as the
gamblers of Wall Street speculated
with the millions belonging to
those same people.
Without doubt the greatest need
in the life of most Of us is that
the doors of opportunity be held
open that we may pay the obhga-
tions which we have assumed. 1t
is the plain duty of just Gov
ernment to guarantee that those
doors shall remain open. If we
take stock of our situation, what
do we find? First. a people loaded
with debt and lacking for essen

tration which has permitted in
dustries to write their own codes
into law, has permitted the fixing
of prices and has failed to enforce
antitrust laws.
1t advocates high costs of pro-
duction with the resultant high
prices which prevent people from
buying. Its theory destroys the
purchasing power of the people
and results in under consumption.

No informed person will credit
any permanent improvement to
New Deal policy. On its record it
stands convicted of the crime of
retarding recovery. In many for
eign nations, where there is no
New Deal, improvement has been
more marked than in the United
States. Yet America is the most
virile Nation of the world. and
possesses the greatest natural re-
sources snd the finest spirit Of
enterprise. It should have led the
world in recovery, instead of lag
ging in twentieth place. No hypo-
critical pretense will acquit the
New Deal on this count.
The failure of the New Deal
obstruction. In the beginning of
its administration, Republicans in
Congress forgot politics in their
desire to cooperate. The suffering
- caused by depression affected all
in authority regardless OF party.
In my own case, threw aside
partisan considerations and voted
for some of the temporary meas
ures to meet the emergency. In
varying degrees we subordinated
our personal and partisan views to
support the national program. At
later time we were forced to
conclude that the administrations
design was to convert these tenn
porary stop-gap laws into perma-
nent policy and thus remodel the
whole life of the Nation. This
design was without mandate from
the country and is contrary to
every American conviction against
autocratic Federal authority. We
who voted to aid are most surely
justified in our efforts to arouse
understanding of the fact that
the administration has committed
the objectionable sin in seeking
to convert its temporary, emer-
gency program into permanent
policy. and the further fact that
it has not proved itself competent
to administer the authority which
it so eagerly acquired.
Turmoil Created to
Effect More Reform.
This Is the only admins
tration in our history which
has deliberately impaired private
credit, destroyed confidence and
intimidated capital. The prudent,
everywhere, abstain from risk
which is aggravated by policies
that haraSs and destroy. No one
would advocate reform ahead Of
recovery except the reformers who
can experiment and exploit only
when the people are in distress.
In the fear that If the country
RECEIVERS 1t will not take any more
of their reforms. they have manu-
factured turmoil and disorders.
The patient needs q competent
physician, not these quacks Of
confusion. Pointing the finger Of
promise toward abundance, the
New Deal has aimed its policies
of performance in exactly the
opposite direction. If Noah, in

CALL FOR ATHLETIC PROGRAM

A call published in this evenings paper requests the attendance of managers captains of any organz ed indoor baseball teams, at meeting to be held in the new school buding under the chalrmanshp of Super ntendent Calvin Pool
 The meeting is being held to discuss details and plans for arranging an indoor baseball league and schedule of games for this winter.
 Nome has been without any organized athletics since the fire of 1884 which destroyed all of the public halls in town including the two large halls in which basketball and indoor baseball played.
 The absence of any organized sports in Nome since that time has been keenly felt by nearly everyone n terested in the fine sportSmanship and ability which provided the excellent winter entertainment which for many years has been appreciated by the city of Nome
 With the construction of the new Nome school build ing which includes of the finest gymnasums in Al aska. interest has again been awakened and athletes clamorng for an opportunity to get gong. That is only natural Its height, lenghth and width make the gymn regulation hall for nearly every type of indoor sport.
 Indoor athletics during a winter are good for a town They drew all classes of people together in com mon nteres-to observe and cheer their favorite teams and players-hereby promoting the general spr- it of sportsmanship and community feeling
 The lack of a large hall. auditorium gymnasium in Nome has been felt in serious way not only through the absence of athletics but through the fact that place has there been for the people to gather together in large numbers with interest in common activity.
 This winter should see that wholesome, Nomean spirit rekndled in athletics well in community feeling This evenings meeting is by no means the final concave of those who will attempt to get athletics under way It is going to take work and lots of it to organize teams provide for details of play schedules expenses, play floor, etc.
 What should attract the attention of every public minded citizen in Nome is that the movement is get ting under way, and that those interested in it should be cognzant of the fact that their efforts at starting ath letcs for the winter not only directed toward the staging of contests of kind and another but that they also assisting in drawing the general citizenry together, solidifying the community spirit.
