Streicher-Super-PatriOt

THEY had an occasion of this kind few months
Il ago when julius Streicher, who made his for
tune publishing obscene literature in the guise of
patriotic campaign against the Jews, presided at a
dinner for 1900 political prisoners who had just
been released. There brave and patriotic Ger
mans seated all around him, whose health and de-
termination had finally cracked in prison, but
Strecher and, in the role of super-patriot pa
tronizngy offered to provide railroad fare and pass
ports to Russia for all who wanted to go there.
1t is this assumption that any one who isn't
Nazi must be Communist which ntensif1es the
difficulty of the non-conforming patriotic Germans
And the fact that of the guests accepted
Strechers offer was interpreted to mean that 1900
Communists had just been beaten into submission
1t is perfectly plain that most of the Nazis are
Nazis because they are afraid to hold out They
are afraid of one another. Afraid of the police Of

people to trembling cowardice told them how brave
they were to submit to few hoodlums and organ

TINE factor of high interest
Il rates of bond issues written
in the boom postwar period of
1919-1920 as we'll as in normal
years plays a role in cutting down
the debt load.
Business Director A. B. Good
says that bond issues carrying in
terest rates of as high as Az
per cent were issued in 1920 and
that his office would be ''tickled
to death" to retire those bonds if
they could be found. Investors
holding the expensive money
bonds are content to clip coupons
and collect a philanthropic rate
of interest during these days of
cheap money and low interest
rates.

of one man who came into the
school business office with bond
maturing at rate of 31A per cent

cilities, to overcrowding in city

teachers and students double-up

Then they point to an ever-in-
creasing high school enrolment
which by the time the School
City reaches its debt peak in 1882

high schools to house new stu

IN all probability that is good counsel and almost
any minute intend to heed it in modera-
ton. If my old preceptor had allowed me to get
word in edgewise 1 would have argued that I was
striving hard to be roundsman rather than police
man on fixed post and 1 would have pointed with
pride to the fact that had been to New Orleans,
Knoxville and Washington since the first of the
year.
Quite while ago endeavored to make myself an
nquiring reporter right here in my native town. and
the column broke out into rash of pieces about the
Aquarium, the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise and the
Bronx Park Zoo. But at the end of week the
aging editor said, Rest perturbed spirit; the stuff
is pretty terrible"
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding, aim to please,

FARM INCOMES
BEST SINCE
BOOM YEAR

American farmers now are pros
pering more than at any time since
1929, chester C. Davis declared
yesterday in a post-mortem report
on the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration.
Davis, who was administrator Of
the agency up to the time it was
thrown into the legislative discard
by the U. S. Supreme Court, has
since been appointed to the board
of governors of the Federal Re-
serve System.
Reviewing the three years, 1888
1885, the administration func-
toned, Davis reported combined
cash income from cotton, wheat,
tobacco, corn and hogs rose from
1866 million dollars to 2,593 mill
lion, or 80 per cent.
At the same time the cash in.
come from all other farm products
increased from 3,012 millions to
4,307 millions in 1895, or 43 per
cent.
Davis conceded, however, that
operations under the unconStitu-
tional act were only one of mum.
Der of factors which brought about
the improvement in the farmers
position" explaining dollar devalu-
alton, business recovery and other
factors aided"
OF the 1885 picture, Davis re-
ported:
cash income for living after
deducting wages, operating ex-
penses, taxes and interest from
cash income was the largest
since 1929 and ~ times larger
than in 1892.
"While prices farmers pay for
services and commodities they
use in production and living in
creased somewhat, the purchaS-
ing power of farm cash income
in 1885 was still IS per cent
larger than that of 1882"
The report found that the an
nual cash income from farm pro-
duction increased from Att mil
lion dollars in 1882 to $500 mil
lion in 1885. Rental and benefit
diSbursalS accounted for nearly Is
per cent of this increase. The re.
mainder was attributed to in
crease in prices.
AS of December 81, 1885, dis
bursements of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration totaled
81, 500, ia, Gao, of which more than
three-fourthS was diSbursed as

Text of Landon's Speech at Charleston
Republican Nominee Cites Hidden Taxes in Cost of
Federal Government.

ONCE can never get very far away
from the people. They can never
forget that they are still peighbors.
They can never overlook the fact
that even in Office 1t is as neigh
bors that they will be judged.
Let me tell you a piece Of homely
advice that was given me the first
g.. time ran for office. I had dropped
into store to buy hat. The
storekeeper was an old friend OF
mine. had been dealing with
him for years.
AS he made the sale he said to
me: do you know why you've
kept coming back to me all this
time? Because I've always told you
exactly what you were getting and
you've always got your moneys
worth. Now you are offering the
people piece of political goods.
You've got to see to it that the
quality Is what you say it Is and
that they get their moneys worth.
If you let them down they won't
be coming around to vote for you
the next time"
Is Present Administration Telling
Voters What They Will Get?
Apply this wisdom to the present
administration. Did it tell you
frankly in advance what you were
getting? And do you feel you got
your moneys worth? Is it telling
you now what 1t proposes to offer
you If it should be reelected? And
do you want the quality Of goods
it carries in stock and that you
are likely to get If it is returned
to power?
In my campaign at home I have
always tried to follow my old
friends advice. I have tried to tell
the people exactly what intended
to do and I have tried to do it. In
this campaign I have followed the
same plan. have told you pro-
pose to 60 forward along the
American way of life and I have
repeatedly stated the policies that
in my opinion will guarantee us
q safe course.
Next Tuesday the men and
women of America will set the
country on this course for the next
four years.
