RISES
IN COUNTY

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, March 16.-Arlington coun-
tvs proposed budget for the fis-
cal year beginning July l, 1885,
carries an increase Of more than
$125,000 over that Of the current
year, it was revealed here today
as the county board Of commits
sioners made public its tentative
budget.
Despite the huge increase in its
expenditures, the tax rate will re-
main at $2.7O per 500 valuation.
Increased expenditures, it was
pointed out, can be met through
the huge increase Of taxable prop
critics which have been developed
throughout the county during the
last IL months.
The total expenditures set UP
in the budget are 81 l,297, ,871 as
compared to a total Of $1,045,S8O
for the current year ending June
30.

Purloining the Election
By WICKES WAMB0LDT

each uuckload rolls up to q poll
ing place it is met by a represent
tativc of the ring who hands each
hrcling a slip Of paper on which
is written the name under which
nc is to vote. These names are
those Of persons who are regis
tered i'm the precinct as eligible to
vote but who through Indifference,
absence from the city or illness
have not voted and are not likely
to.
OF course the foregoing raScally
scheme may call for some coop.
Grafton from the election officials;
hut that cooperation is not hard
to secure when the political ring
controls the election machinery.
THE REMEDY
A remedy for the foregoing
election evil is a law requiring
each person when registering to
sign an identification card and to
write his name for comparison
when he goes to vote.
THE BALLOT EXCHANGE
The ballot exchange is another
method by which political rings
buy votes. It IS worked this way:
In a room convenient to the poll
ing place is cnSconced a political
ringstcr. He has a few official bal
lots which are marked for ring
candidates. A man who has agreed
to sell his vote is Stcered into this
room. The ringster hands him a
marked ballot with these instruc-
tons: put this ballot in your
pocket; go to the polls over there
and tell them you want to vote,
and they will give you ballot.
Go into the booth; put the ballot
they give you in your pocket.
Take out this marked ballot |
have given YOU and 90 outside and
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-10-23

drop it into the ballot box. Bring
to me the blank ballot they give
YOU over there and | will give you
a dollar for it. Now don't walk
into the booth and turn round ana
walk right out again; you stay III
there long enough to make them
think you are marking your bal
lot.
By the foregoing simple. iNgcn-
ious cxpcdient the ring gets the
vote it pays for, and it gets an
other blank ballot to mark for
another bought voter. BY TINS
scheme alone it is estimated, the
Chicago political ring has con-
uollcd as many as 32O,OOO votes
i'm one election.
THE REMEDY
A remedy for the ballot cX-
change evil and number OF other
election frauds is the voting ma
chine - which is so constructed
that neither the voter nor anyone
else touches his ballot. The voter
sets diais or pointers on the ma
chine to indicate how he desires
to vote and his going out Of the
booth automatically operates
mechanism which marks his ballot
inside the voting machine and
drops it into a locked receptacle.

BEHIND TIE SCENES
IN TIE, CAMPAIGN

One reason the faiTllcr vote is
so hard to guess is, according to
competent authority, that the in
dividual and individualist farmer

10 ascertain the farmers political
sentiments say he is more than
likely to just sit on g fence and
grunt
Republican stress on an increase
in agricultural imports since 1888
and on the big increase IN fed
eral expenditures and national
debt have made a deep impress
sion on farmers, most Of whom
perforce are thrifty almost to eX-
cess.
To a remarkable degree these
arguments have Offset the definite
improvement in the average farm
er's economic position under the
New Deal
Democrats have been busy tell
ing the true story of imports all
over the middleweSt and telling
the farmer not to worry about
the national debt
Late-campaign Republican prop
uganda. aside from repetition. is
StreSSing the "un-AmericaniSm"
or Communism" of the New
Deal and asserting that four more
years of Roosevelt world mean
confScation Of farms and homes.
PUT if there has been q marked
- drift back to Roosevelt, there's
no more likely reason for il than
the success of the New Deal farm

that the farmers need expect few

next four years if they walk out

CT LOUIS. Mo.-The farm

were conceded by the Republic

Gratis Subsequently. their loss
was mourned by the Democrats
and the Republicans claimed them
for Landon
Right now the electoral inten-
tons Of the region as a whole
seem to be more or less Of toss
up. as the farmers lately are re-
ported to be veering toward
Roosevelt again.
AS matter of fact, each side
claims a late-campaign drift in its
own direction among the farmers
But. as far as this correspondent
can learn, nobody can guess surely
within shooting distance as to
what proportion Of the farmer
vote will 60 to Landon, Roose-
welt. or Lemke,
A late swing to Roosevelt
doesn't necessarily mean that a
majority of farmers will be with
him Nov 3-no one knows how
much of q swing that would re-
quire.
And the best reason one finds
for believing preponderant reports
of such swing is the fact that, af-
ter many months Of heavy Re-
publican propaganda. the New
Dealers have lately cut loose with
what conceivably may be an eff
fective counter-propaganda CAM

THE farmer is important in
L states well removed from the
so-called "grain belt" Rural New
York. rural Michigan, rural Ohio.
