Both Sides of the CAMPAIGN
BY HARRY NJ. SPANGLER
Executive Assistant to Chairman,
Republican National Committee

Re-establiShment of responsibility in the han
ding of government finances is the hope held
out to the American people by the election of
Gov Af NJ Landon of Kansas to the presi-
dency of the United States.
Such responsibility has been missing factor
in the more than three tortuouS years of the
New Deal experiment. The hope that now
comes is relief from the most staggering burden
of combined waste, extravaganza debt and tax
alton that the people of this nation have ever
been asked to bear.
In his speech accepting the Republican NOM
ination Governor Landon declared:
we must be freed from excessive expendi-
lures and crippling taxation While spending
billions of dollars of borrowed single dollar
spent We will pay back two dollars Our
party holds nothing to be of more urgent I'M.
portance than putting our financial house in
order. For the good of all of us, We must re-
establish responsibility in the handling of gov
ernment finances"
The record of the New Deal from beginning
to end has been of excessive expenditures
and crippling taxation. That is what Governor
Landon meant when he called upon the New
Dealers to stop this fumbling with recovery"
He meant, as well, Stop this profligate waste
of the peoples money!"
When a government follows 'robbing Peter
to pay Paul policy in its national financing.
the day of reckoning cannot be long delayed.
The load is already enormous that even
though the government taxes to the utmost
limits the incomes of those best able to pay.
the average taxpayer will still have to bear
the major part.
What the New Dealers have done is easily
understood They have simply spent twice
much money as they have received. During the
three years ending July 80, 1886, they spent
S24 1862 100000. The federal governments in
come was only SlO832 0,000. The combined
New Deal deficit exceeds Sl3,530000.000. Elected
on pledge of economy, President Roosevelt has
spent more in three years than the first "a
presidents of the United States did in l22 years
of office Jumped together.
The national debt has jumped from S20937,-
100000 at the end OF the prior Repuohcan
administration to the stupendous figure of $685.
100000 900 this year. If $4,000 100000 of bonds on
which the New Deal has guaranteed interest
and principal is added, the total national debt
is boosted to s39 1000 00000O. President Roose-
velt has jumped the national debt by an aver
age of s3.3l4 100000 every year he has been in
office. The taxpayers must make up this dill
ference.

EDUCATION AND
ACCIDENTS

An authority has declared that the
soul of accident prevention work is edu-
cation 1t is necessary that law enforce
ment agencies, especially our traffic
patrols, be improved, and that laws gov
erning motor vehicle operation be
brought up to date. But the reckless or
ignorant driver will continue to endanger
lives in spite of the best efforts of legis-
latures, judges and police officers
unless the force of public opinion is en-
listed to make him mend his ways, or
keep off the highways.
Proof of what safety education can
accomplish is found in the magnificent
record produced by safety instruction in
the public schools. This work was start
ed some fourteen years ago, and was
inaugurated by the National Bureau OF
Casualty and Surety Underwriters, rep
resentative of our leading casualty in
surance During those fourteen years,
here has been 1876 per cent increase IN
traffic fatalities to adults-and a 2 per
cent decrease in traffic fatalities to chill
dren of school age or under. 1t is said
that if the trend in the case of children
had been the same as in the case of
adults, $1,000 more young lives would
have been snuffed out.
Now it is time we educate the adult.
The insurance companies are doing thelr
utmost to this end. So are other private
and public agencies. But their cam
paigns can produce little unless the
people wholeheartedly join them.

DEAR SIR:
Receipt is acknowledged of your
letter of June 29th, by which your
company rejects the proposal OF
Imperial Irrigation District dated
June %, 1896, relative to settle
ment of the power question. This
board endeavored to make 1t plain
that no proposal based on CO.
operative plan would be acceptable,
but since this was apparently not
made clear, we wish at this time
TO state definitely, that this board
will not negotiate a settlement on
any cooperative plan.
However, as stated in the proposal
of June 22nd, this board is ready
at any time to negotiate settle
ment upon the basis set out; name
ly, the purchase of the physical
properties of your company.
Respectfully submitted,

.SHHHi DON'T TELL
THE CHILDREN!

DR.. McKim Marritt of the University
of California medical school has made
a discovery which blows to bits a grand
old American tradition. In fact, Popeye
the Sailor will be seriously affected, as
well as grocers.
McKim has concluded from his ex-
periments, that spinach is not the staff
of life and doesn't live up to its reputa-
ion. 1t seems that this plague of chill
dren's lives isn't so good for the youth
full constitution as our parents tell us.
In fact, it takes more iron from the body
than it gives.
Maybe the children's antipathy DEM
onstrated that they knew more about
the subject than Mother and Dad.

THE REAL WAR COST

If you would like to get notion of
the cost of the civil war now raging in
Spain, you might cast your eye over this
one sentence from a recent United Press
dispatch from the scene of action:
at is estimated that there are now
$4,000 widows and 77,000 orphans as
a result of the war"
1t is hard to make those figures mean
what they should mean unless you do
just little meditating. Picture, first,
the despair, the loneliness, the sense Of
personal loss and the haunting fear of
the future which come to woman when
her husband is taken away-and then
multiply by $4,000.
Next, imagine the tragic bewilderment,
the incomprehendng misery, the cruel
Imperial Valley press., 1936-09-23

desolation of a child which has lost its
father-and, if you are able, picture
1900 such children.
In that way you may be able to get
a plimmering of the true cost of a war.

BRASS TACKS-

BRASS TACKS-
Two days have elapsed since a San
Diego delegation steamrollered through
the county board sanction of the pro-
posed realignment of grade on u S. 80.
Since the whirlwind event, minds have
had opportunity to clear and consider
the brass tacks of the proposal. 1t is
especially interesting to note than there
was not single important argument
propounded in favor of the expensive
project which is to cost some S1,300,000.
The contention of San Diego that the
realignment will heavily reduce truck
ing costs from the valley has completely
evaporated. The new road would be an
almost constant five per cent grade as
the present grade varying from three
to as high as seven per cent. Such a
change would have virtually no effect on
truck rates an experienced truckman tes-
tifying at the board hearing that it
wouldn't make five cents difference
The new road would not shorten the
distance from the valley to San Diego,
being approximately the same mileage
as the present route, and possibly a
bit longer.
The seaport's appeal that it will bring
it much more traffic is very much in
doubt. The change In nine miles of high
way does not IN any manner alter the
curves or remaining steep grades in the
rest of the 120 mile drive.
1t is thoroughly understandable that
San Diego should endeavor to obtain
some of the traffic which diverts here
to Los Angeles. But what has that got
to do with us? Imperial Valley has moth
ing to gain.
Even assuming that additional trucks
and travellers who heretofore have gone
to Los Angeles will go to San Diego in
stead, does no mean that any inducement
is being offered for west to east travel.
No change is being effected in steep
grades from the coast to the valley.
The project involves 20 miles of bar
rem desert road Afer all, the purpose
of the WPA is to assist in building farm
to market roads, which purpose would
dictate that the 20 miles be in some culi-
vated area.
All in ALL the project is lamentably
lacking in merit and is travesty upon
the purposes of federal assistance.
One wonders why, after all, this coun-
ty should participate in a project which
has few benefits, and even those are en-
tirely in favor of San Diego county.

The President Speaks!

Statement issued at Wash
ington by P R E S SIDE E N T
FRAN KILN D. ROOSE-
WELT on Saturday, Septem-
ber 10, 1886, as reported by
all news agencies including
the Associated and United
Press:
"The public interest demands
that the power that is being or
soon will be generated by the Ten
neSsee Valley authority and at the
Bonneville Dam and other public
works projects should be made to
serve the greatest number of our
people at the lowest cost and, as
far as possible, without injury TO
existing actual investment.
"To this end, have for several
months been comforting informally
with representatives of the Federal
Power commission, the National
Resources committee, and Tennes-
see Valley authority and the Rural
Identification administration, as
well as with utility executives, en-
gineers and economists.
These discussions indicate agree
ment to a remarkable degree that
this objective can best be attained
by cooperative pooling of power fa-
ciIities within each region, includ-
ing those of the Federal projects,
the privately owned utilities and
the municipal plants, through the
use of the existing transmission
line networks under the control of
the members of the pool.
"Such a pool, it appears, will
smooth out the peaks and valleys
of the separate system operations,
reduce the amount of necessary re-
serve capacity and postpone the
need for investment in new gener-
ating facilities.

Convention OratOrv.

In the old days, before the radio and
speech amplification, a political con-
vention speaker was under the greatest
stress to make himself heard in q vast
convention hall. He had to strain his
voice to the rasping point, and often 1t
failed him utterly before his peroration.
Last night Senator Steiwer was under
no such strain with amplifiers Strewn
about the hall at Cleveland to bring his
words to the ears of all of the fourteen
thousand eager listeners. But when this
aid failed him through a mechanical
fault of the system he was baked Cries
of louder" were heard. The great as
semblage grew restless, then disorderly.
The speech was halted and an interval
occurred while the mechanism was ad-
justed. 1t lasted nearly three minutes,
broken for the millions of listeners out
side the hall, throughout the country,
by an explanation. Then the machine
was set in order and the speech was
resumed. Just why the system failed
has not been explained.

Default As Usual.

With approach of June Is, semi
annual date for war debt payments.
Great Britain has taken the lead among
the thirteen debtor nations in notifying
the United States that she will default
on the amount about to fall due. Thus
will be added to the British total in
arrears the sum of 1868 .474,07l AS
Londons example in failing to meet
these periodical installments is generally
followed by the other debtors, was indeed
followed yesterday by Italy, total
of $1,l60,l22,766 will next week prospec-
lively be added to the delinquent aggre-
gate now standing on the TreaSury's
books. Finland remains the honorable
exception among the countries whose
war needs were financed by Uncle Sam,
having alone among them punctiliously
and regularly fulfilled its obligations.
There is no sign of any intentions to
break the record which the proud little
nation has established at Washington.
Despite recent platonic references in
France and Great Britain as to the
sdvisability of reSuming war debt dis
cussions the State Department is with
out tangible evidence of any real move
In this direction. There are recurrent
hints that certain governments might
consider ten-cents on -the-dollar set
tlement," also that more or less SUBJ
stantial payments might be rendered
IN return for extension of fresh hos
pitality in the American money market.
AS for the irst-named proposition, which
would connote virtual cancellation, there
Is no likelihood whatever that American
public opinion would be receptive. Fur

How sweetly sounds the rhyme
That was employed to tell about

The racketeer was then unknown,

The way, on roads of patriot pride,
To let the old bandwagon ride.
Friends were not always forced to see
Some point on which to disagree.
AS statesmen struggle to adjourn
And TO convention strife return
The jazz band stops in mute despair
While greater discord fills the air.

But sentiment is out of style.

have been brought to a high pitch of
efficiency, yet there remains the posi-
bility Of what used to be known as wire
trouble" that mysterious fault of con-
nections or influence of induction that
disturbs the current and sets the whole
system askew. The present day SPELL
binder is at the mercy of such a lapse.
Happy is he who can carry on undis-
turbed by it. Yet he must wait until
the gadgets of ampliication can be
brought into order, and a break of this
kind is not altogether conducive to
climactic effect.
In another respect the new scheme
Of amplification, through reproducers
strewn about a large assembly room
fails to do justice to a speaker. The
outside audience does not get the full
effect of the speakers oratory, in that
1t does not receive the complete volume
of the applause that greets his climactic
periods. 1t hears the applause of those
near the speakers rostrum, but not
that Of the multitude seated in the
farther reaches of the auditorium. Were
the full volume of the cheering evoked
by telling phrase or a smashing climax
to go upon the air the din would be
intolerable to those who sit in the quiet
of their homes, miles distant Yet the
marvel of the machine is evident to the
millions The new technique of SPELL
binding enlarges the field to compass
the entire country.
