Grange Official Strikes
Out at World War

WASHINGTON. - The Honorable
Ray Mckaig, honorary member OF the
National Grange and chairman OF the
legislative committee OF the Idaho
State Grange, stirred a radio audience
last week with a powerful outburst
against the World War.
We were propogandized into that
war, he asserted. we discover to-
day that America went into the war,
not to make the world safe for demo-
crazy, but to make our loans safe for
the banking interests in Wall Street.
We read the confession of Lloyd
George, Premier OF England, admitting
that he fed the American suckers with
manufactured tales of atrocities when
we were told that the Germans cut OF
the hands OF the Belgium children. !.
These were lies manufactured to make
America white hot for war.
We were taught by a subsidized
press and misdirected leadership that
Germany alone was to blame. False
hood was placed on the altar OF sacri-
flee and we were told to bow down
and worship lying propaganda.
1t is hard to understand that the
e~ternally beautiful peace treaty turns
out TO be just another breathing spell
between wars, and with sickening
nausea we have driven home to US that
we Americans were a bunch OF suck
ers.'
Summing up his indictment of the
last war, the speaker said, q believe
that General Smedley Butler told the
truth when hat great military leader
said, War is a racket; it's the rich
mans racket and the poor man pays
the cost. It is the game Of manufac-
turing ammunition and enslaving hu.
mainly in endless debt and sacrifice.
l will rot in jail forever before | will
consent to go into any world war as in
19l7.'o
Mr.. McKaig, who is a candidate for
U. S. Senator TO succeed Senator Viii
liam E. Borah, spoke under the aus
pieces of National Council for Proven

Who Pays for Landon's
Balanced Budget?

A survey of the actual accomplish
ments of budget-balancing Gov. Ian
don of Kansas bears out the accuse
ton made by Harry L. Hopkins, Chief
of the Relief Administration, that the
budget had been balanced by taking
it out of the hides of the people" In
1884, the Federal Government sent
$14,569,9I to Kansas, or 70 per cent
of the relief bill. The balance of
$5,31l.8l5 was contributed by counties
and municipalities. The state did not
contribute one cent. For the first half
of 1885, Washington paid $l5,114,406
or 1917 per cent, while the cities and
counties spent $4,934,48l. In addition,
Landon received $66,723,187 from the
A.A.A, $32y333,813 from the P. w. A
and more millions for the C.W.A
C.C.C, and other emergency relief,
these contributions from the Federal
Government being all that kept the
Kansas unemployed from starving.
The balancing of the budget was
accomplished by consolidating depart
ments and slashing salaries of the
state employees Is per cent. Day
laborers on state highways, working
8 to II days a month, earn $24.32 to
$36.48. Recipients OF old-age pensions
get an average OF less than SO.
a month.
Of all the states in the Union,
Kansas contributes the lowest por-
portion to the school fund, only is per
cent as compared with 90 per cent in
California. 80 per cent in New York,
% per cent in Maine, "a per cent in
Michigan. Hundreds of schools have
been closed and others have been kept
open only by cutting teachers salaries
to, in some cases, SIS. a month. The
state of Kansas has not utilized as a
source of revenue, taxation on the
production of gas and oil, as have
other states. Governor Landon is him
self a wealthy oil man. He believes,
theoretically, in collective bargaining,
but his own oil fields are not union
lied. In a labor dispute in June 1884,
he called out the National Guard. At
Fort Scott, Kansas, 8 persons were
seriously injured by tear gas and
blackjacks when 800 people protested
against inadequate relief; miners in
the Tri-State district had their strike
broken by Landon's troops.

The boys who ask a girl for every
date in the world except that of a call
on the minister possibly need a little

titled by calling each by name.
Asked if Older had given him any
lnducement to make his confession in
1870, he said, Eyes, he told me l would
feet better if | told the truth and help
ed to free a man who did not com
NIT the crime when l knew who did
do it" Cleary made no attempt to
cross-examine him on this last pro-
%vocative remark. Caught in a contra
diction he had said he did not en-
courage the Edeaus to claim the re-
ward, whereas a letter was produced
in which he had done so 49, be blandly
replied, "Well, she committed perjury
for the reward, why not pay herr"
The petitioners case was then clos
ed. Instead of putting Brennan on the
stand again, his further testimony was
postponed, and the state reoponed its
case by calling Golf. When the weeks
session ended Golf was still under dir
ect examination. His testimony took
the form of complete denial OF every
charge made against him by McDon-
aid and by all other Mooney witness
es. Every identification" he claimed,
regular and positive - the Edeaus,
Mcdonald, Vidovich, Estelle Smith, and
all and he was very much sur
prised' when they picked out Mooney
and Billings as the men they had seen.
A final interesting note on the weeks
proceedings; On M occasion Cleary
referred to the charge Of conspiracy
against Fickert and his staff. John
Finerty, Moneys lawyer, remarked
that the conspiracy wa still going on.
Referee Shaw thereupon overruled an
objection made by Finerty, and said
sarcastically, "The conspiracy may go
on"

Approximately 2,450 needy n-~n,
women and children in Arizona arc
now covered by the public assis-
tance provisions of the Sociai Sc
curity Act. These figuers were an
nouncel by Mr. S. "A. Spear, Stat.
Director for the Nationel An2erg> n

ed upon a report of the Social Sc.
curity Board, summarizing the pro-
gress made under the Act in the
eight months since it became op-
erative.
Arizona has established plans
for aid to the blind and for aid to
dependent children which, with Fed
eral aid, provide a regular income
to individuals unable to provide for
themselves. In September an es-
timated 1880 dependent children
land 100 blind persons received as
sistance under these plans at to-
tai cost of s24,2oo. Approximate ly
one-half the cost was paid by the
Social Security Board.
Since the State began coopera-
ton with the Federal Government
under the terms of the Social Sc
curity Act, a total of $57,394 of
Federal funds has come to Arizona
to aid it in providing these benefits.
It has received 1924 for aid to the
blind and $48, ,180 for aid to depend
ent children in their homes. Feder-
al aid has made it possible for the
State to provide much more ade-
quately for it's needy citizens than

Sometimes / think I own great

And to all the needy am giving.
| roll in my beautiful automobiles,

[ dress all in my exquisite attire;
From state to another do roam.
I have my friends to call on me,
Showing great hospitality.
I give funds for the sick, the lame,

And those who cannot see.

local funds alone.
Still further benefits are open to
Arizona under the Social Security
Act. If the State enacts an unem-
ployment compensation law in Line
with the Federal Act, it will be ell
igible to receive funds from the
Social Security Board to pay al
proper costs of administering this
law, and eligible workers in Ari-
Eona will receive protection against
loss of income due to temporary
periods of unemployment. Further
more, if the State establishes a
plan for the aid to the needy aged
which conforms to the Federal Act,
it will be eligible to receive approx
mately one-half the cost Of 8

ment.
In addition to these cooperative
Federal-State features of the Social
Security Act Arizona citizens also
come under the Federal old-age
benefit system provided by the Act.
1t is understood that Special
Session of the State legislature will
be called by the Governor for

NEWS OF THE AUTO WORLD
NEW BUCKS To
Be ON DISPLAY
AT C. M. SHOW
Company to Have Several
Exhibits at Playground
Beginning Feb. rs.

Buick will be represented at the
General Motors Show, which opens
Feb. 26 at the Manufacturers Build
ing, with displays of its new models
together with special exhibits. The
new Bucks represent greater
changes from past models than have
been made in any single year in re-
cent Buick history, according to
Neal Cunningham, indianapolis
Buick representative.
The Buick exhibits are to be I'M
usually attractive. The new cars
are up to the minute in styling, are
characterized by unusual perform
ance and have a variety of excep-
tional safety features, not the least
of which is the ample power under
the hood.
By complete rejuvenation and
modernization of product, Buick
aims to capture an entirely new
market, at the same time retaining
its present large and loyal clientele,
according to company officials. Re-
suits in the field since the cars first
were announced indicate this OBJ
jective will be reached.
Complete modernization of the
Buick lines, particularly from the
standpoint of performance, had to
be accomplished without sacrificing
those qualities of dependability,
long life and economy which have
identified Buick manufacture for
many years. Thus. specifications
show that Throughout the model
range greater strength and rigidity
were engineered into the frames
while all the fundamental features
of Buick construction were retained.
Buick again features torque tube
drive, e-in-head straight eight
engines, sealed chassis, independent
front wheel suspension and other
items of strength and dependability
long associated with this make of
cars.
In addition, many new structural
and safety features have been in
corporated in the new design. The
list includes new streamlined bodies
by Fisher with solid stel 'Turret
Tops" and safety glass in wind
shields and all windows, slanting "
type windshields affording maximum
visibility, Anolite pistons, improved
knee action, center point steering
and hydraulic brakes.

TRUCK UNIT is
PRODUCED HERE
Marmon-H Harrington, InsIey
Offers Semi-TraiIer Dump
Wagon.

A feature of the recent Cleveland
Road Show, as we'll as the Purdue
University Road Show, particularly
from the standpoint of the contrac-
tor, was a combination of new
Marmon- Harrington all-wheel- drive
Ford va truck tractor and a new
Insley semi trailer dump wagon,
which were shown as a complete
unit. Both products are made in
indianapolis by indianapolis COM
panies - the Acknowledging
co. Inc, and the Insley Manufac-
turing Corp.
This combination, because of a
number of hitherto unobtainable
advantages in performance, payload
ability and price, is attracting
widespread attention from contrac-
tors and others interested in dirt
hauling and similar operations, &C
cording to r. H. Hayes, Indianap-
oils branch manager of the Ford
Motor Co.
The complete unit, including both
tractor and semi-trailer, weighs
slightly more than $500 pounds and
is capable of hauling a gross load
of approximately $4,000 pounds.
Thus it is able to handle a load
equal to more than two times its
own weight.
Because of the all-wheel- drive
ability of the Marmon-H Harrington,
it is possible to handle such load
either on or off the highway and
under conditions that would be
severe handicap to any convention
al -wheel-drive truck, Mr.
Hayes pointed out.
Subject to numerous tests before
being shown at Cleveland and Pur-
due, the unit proved its ability to
negotiate a. grade of more than %
per cent with a payload of 1880
pounds, he said. Although the over
all length of the entire unit is 26
feet, inches, it has minimum
turning radius of only % feet, 3
inches. The capacity of the Insley
semi trailer is cubic yards and it
has an overall width of Sc inches.
Both tractor and semi-trailer
may be purchased for less than
$4,000 complete, Mr.. Hayes said.

ANTI-SEDITION
MEASURES DIE
UNDER ATTACK
Rep. Maverick, Opposition
Leader, Warns Against
Military Gangsters.

By Scripps-HoiCdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The
seventy-fourth Congress Will write
an ungrateful rest in peace" on
the graves of the Tydings- McCor-
mack military disaffection" bill
and the Kramer anti-sedition bill
Today Rep. Maury Maverick 3D.,
Tex said he was ready to pro-
nounce them officially defunct. The
military disaffection bill was killed
when Secretary of War Dern de-
clared the War Department was
not for it and Senator Tydings Cd,
Md then withdrew his name from
the measure. Secretary Swanson has
said there is no danger of Com
munism spreading inthe Navy.
The Kramer bill did not get as
far as the Tydings-McCormack bill,
which slipped through the Senate.
1t won favorable report from the
House Judiciary Committee by only
one vote.
Maverick Leads Fight
unless Congress goes absolutely
crazy these two bills are dead for
this session." said Rep. Maverick,
who has led the fight against them.
These measures have reused
American liberals as have few
measures in the past. I know of
only handful of organizations still
demanding passage, the United
States Chamber of Commerce, the
Hearst newspapers and the Navy
League, chiefly. believe the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the
Liberty League did not oppose them.
But many individual labor leaders
did. The strongest kind of fight
was put up by the American Civil
Liberties Union, the organized
churches and the press generally.
"The fact that the bills got as far
as they did should warn us of dan
ger to civil liberties, particularly
from military gangsterism."
