Three Years

Three years OF Roosevelt. They've been three
"long years to Republicans. There's no doubt about
that. Time always passes slowly to the men who have
been yanked from game they have nearly lost, es-
pecialy if they have to sit the sdelnes and watch
the job being done properly.
Three years of Roosevelt. Measured by the stan
dards of the "do-nOthingists they must seem ncred
IDLY long = because so much has been accomplished
America has come so far forward behind the vigor-
GUS leadership of President Roosevelt that it does
seem incredible it all could have been done in three
years.
What has been done? Look at agriculture For
the first time in American history have had gov
ernment which actually has undertaken nationwide
program to give farmer square deal What has this
program accomplished? Farm cash income is up $3,-
OOOOOOOOO from the low figure at which twelve wears
of Repubicanism had left it Farmers are able to paw
their taxes again, and keep up the favorable pay
ments on their mortgages which the government has
helped them to obtain.
How has that helped the country? Rural retail
sales are up So per cent 1892 if you want figures
And that Jump in sales that millions Of city
workers are being kept employed
Then, corporation earnings are up about "a per
cent completely refutng charges that Roosevelt leg
1satlon has made impossible for business to pros
per- Unemployment has been cut from IA 100000 to at
least 9OOOOOO and some estimates run as low as g.
OOOOOO. The value of securities issued for new and
re-tnancing purposes jumped from ST. 1872 1000 in
1892 to $526OOO 900 in 1885, Commercial failures in
the United States dropped from 81 1922 with Gabili-
ties of S928000000 in 1892 to 1885, with liabilities
of S264000000 in 1885 Bank failures under the New
Deal almost unheard of-in contrast to their high
mortality record under the Republican administra-
tons Of the preceding twelve years.
And the reciprocal trade agreements which have
been negotiated the agreements which the Republi-
cans denounce, have already brought marked advant-
ages to American exporters farm exports to eight
OF the countries with which these agreements have
been made showed Is per cent rise over 1884 in the
first three months of this year, as compared to
per cent rise IN farm exports to countries with which
We have no such agreements.
Then there are the 100000 home owners who
still own their homes today because the federal gov
ernment stepped into the picture to save them when
they were threatened with foreclosure And unem-
poyment insurance old age security help for Schools
permanent public works, flood control reforestation
Dank deposit insurance, protection for investors
against fraudulent stock schemes-the list goes on
and on
Three years of Roosevelt? He can stand on that
record
If Mathuseah had run for office in his old age,
what dirt couldn't his opponents have dug up?
The human body contains about 10 million nerves,
and some folks manage to get On all of them.
Nations inclined to flOut the League of Nations
should be warned by what happened to Japan and
Italy.
When writes the truth it isn't so necessary to
keep carbon copy for reference.
