dollars was allotted to this re-
settlement project. It cost more
than the whole standing Army of
the United. States lastt year. All
the new soak-the-rich taxes of
1885 could not pay for this one
piece OF extravaganza alone.
When we do things like that we
have lost all sense of proportion.
No government can afford such
waste. It can afford it least Of
all when its people are struggling
out of a great depression.
But there is an even more serious
side to this violation Of the con-
Stitutional rights Of Congress.
This is the enormous power which
money gives the President. 1t en-
ables him to short circuit State
governments and thereby to exer-
else powers not granted to him by
the Constitution.
But even this is not all.
This administration has used the
power of the purse to do more than
break down home rule. This ad-
ministration has used it to coerce
voters.
No one knows better than the
people of Pennsylvania the brazen
manner in which this policy has
been applied in the name Of relief.
The unemployed have been told
that If they do not support the
President they will be thrown of
the relief rolls. Scores Of millions
of public money have been poured
into Pennsylvania in a desperate
effort to carry the State in the
coming election. No one knows
better than the people OF Pennsyl-
vania the growing resentment of
the public against an adminiStra-
ton so callous to public decency
that it tries to force people to sell
their votes for bread.
Promises to Use No Relief
Funds for Political Purposes.
When take Office as Chief Ex-
ecutive I shall put an end to the
use of relief funds for political pur-
poses.
And I shall put an end to the
use Of public funds for political
purposes.
And I shall put an end to the
use of public funds for the build
ing and maintaining OF a propa-
ganda machine in Washington.
This has been a growing evil for

time the spendthrift must pay the

II We continue our spendthrift

anced budget, If We refuse to cut

ment, our day of reckoning will

inc. We need an administration

The lesson Of national bankrupt
cy Is clear for all to read. We
have seen what happens in nation
after nation of the modern world.
We have seen democracies fall and
relationships rise. We have seen
societies planned and liberties de-
stroyed. And we have seen hard
won constitutions first ridiculed
and then, section by section, dis
carded and thrown away.

the same axe which has destroyed

many years, but never before has 1t
ever approached its present size.
It Is time to call halt to this
growing abuse. The National Com
mittee of the party In power should
pay its own bills.
1t Is also time that we restored
the Bureau of the Budget to Its
proper place in our Government.
Fifteen years ago this bureau was
established to hold down expendi-
lures and weed out waste and ex-
travagance. 1t Is supposed TO be
an independent agency. Its JOB
is to take the budget estimates Of
the various departments and pare
them down to the minimum. But
since August. 1894. when Lewis w.
Douglas resigned in protest against
the financial policies Of the adj
ministration, we have had only an
acting director of the budget. The
bureau has become a part OF the
White House spending machine.
I intend to restore this bureau to
a position OF independence with
competent director at its head.
Promises to Fill Office
OF Comptroller General.
And unless the present Chief
Executive acts in the meantime, I
shall fill still another office which
is vacant-the office Of comptroller
general.
The comptroller general is the
legal watchdog over expendi-
lures. He Is the final judge OF
whether expenditures are made ac-
cording to the law and for the
purpose intended by Congress. The
offiee has been left vacant since
last July. Every one knows what
happens when the boss Is away.
In the multitude Of activities per-
formed by our Government we cam
not afford to be without the pro-
lection of determined, non.
partisan comptroller general. We
must be sure that funds are spent
for the purpose, and only for the

-HE pond Of Paddy the Beaver
deep in the Green Forest, was
a favorite gathering place with
i the people of the Green Forest
these quiet, dreamy Indian summer
days. Just why. they couldn't nave
told YOU. Perhaps it started with tne
desire to see Paddy and his family
work as they prepared for the coming
Winter. Certain it is that this Is
what brought Peter Rabbit there IN
the beginning. He never could get
over the wonder of seeing big tree
brought crashing to thee ground,
trimmed of it's branches and then cut
into short lengths by these hard
working pond folk who seemed to ma
pleasure in work.
This cutting of a tree was some
thing that none among all the otner
folk in fur could do, and for this rea-
son the Beavers were much respected
bv their neighbors. Even those VINO,
like Yowler the Bobcat, would gladly
have dined on Paddy or one OF his
family respected these industrious,
water-loving folk.
As for the others, probably few
could have told Just what had taken
them to Paddy's Pond in the first
place. Really it didn't matter. They
came now because it was such de-
lightfully restful place, and because
their neighbors came there. Also.
there were feathered folk from the
Far North, on their way to the Sunny
South, stopping over to rest, Honker
the Goose and his flock. Every one
for a long distance around knew
when the Geese arrived, for they were
tired from a long flight and they were
babbling noisily over the cheerful
prospect of a long, safe rest. They
knew there would be no terrible guns
around that pond in the Green For
est and they voiced their joy. Those
who did not hear them arrive very
soon heard that they had arrived and
hastened to pay their respects.
Buster Bear was there, of course. It
wasn't yet time for him to retire for
the Winter and that pond was ia
vorite place with him. Perhaps Id
the back of his head was the thought
that some day he might be lucky
enough to surprise a young Beaver
out of water. Yowler the Bobcat was
there, but keeping as much out OF
sight as possible. The thought Of
those great birds, some of them Sit
ting on the edge of the shore, while
the others swan or lazily foated, was
too much for him. He just had to
be there in case-well, one might be
careless.
For much the same reason, Old
Man Coyote and Reddy Fox were
there. They are opportunists. are Old

Lightfoot the Deer was there, but
that is not to be wondered at. Light

as has Paddy himself.

Bx HENRY McLEMoRE


 Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, Sept. 22.-(UP)-Even a stay of few weeks in London is sufficient to make an American sports writer not only dissatisfied with the weather, cooking and dolls but also with his own name over his stories.
 Until I got here and began read ing the English sports pages the name McLemore seemed perfectly satisfactory. I knew 1t wasn't glamorous name but I never was ashamed of it and never had the urge to make change. Now, when see it in occasional American papers which reach London, it seems miSerably uninspired. Don't be surprised if when I get back home I start using the non de plume of Cold Stream Hot Spurs" or "Totenham Rover.
 Only a scattering of English sports writers use their own names. Immediately upon joining news paper they adopt romantic, color full or dramatic pen names which lifts everything they writ2 out of the ordinary. Take my favorite horse racing commentators for ex- ample. Their names probably are something like Milton Butcher and Zeke Smith but one who writes for morning papers signs himself Might Watchman" and the one who works for an afternoon sheet uses simply "Watchman".
 On the Job
 Those nsmes not only conjure up dramatic picture but inspire faith as well. Whenever I read Night Watchman" I can see him, lantern in hand, making the rounds of the stables in the dead of night picking up absolutely last bits of informa- tion and seeing that horses he gives his readers to bet on are not molest- ed by scoundrels of the turf.
 The same is true of another of my favorites "The Man on the Spot" Certainly if you had a bet to settle it would be much more satisfying to pay off on the word of the Man on the Spot" than on the word of 8 bloke named Horace, Willard or Vincent. '"The Man on the Spot" man must be an agile soul, for in one edition of his pa- per I counted five stories by him and each one from a different To- cality.
 Other London sportswriters' names which charm me are Pan- loss, Achilles, Trojan, Astral Che does 8 dog column), Palatinus, Cru sader, Knight in Armour. Vulcan, the Iron Duke, Right Half, Left Half, Draco. the Old Scout, Robin Goodfellow, Corinthian, Kennelman, Arbiter, Hotspurs, Nomad, Keystone and King Rob.
 Like Astral" the "Orn Duke" is greyhound handicapper, or Nap per-" as they say in London town. I have followed his selections and quite understand why he is the Iron Duke. He would have to be all iron to withstand assaults which must be made on his person by bettors who follow him. His last winner was a contemporary of the Hound of the Baskervilles.
 My non de plume of "Coldstream Hotspurs" will prove quite useful to me, I think. Whenever make a wrong guess and bullies storm the office to black my eyes, I will swear my name is McLemore and not "HotSpurs". And when the miracle occurs and make a cor- rect one, I will shed my disguise and allow praise to beat down on my head.
