American tradition.
Only In the last half century
has the poison OF the gamblers
greed spread through the country
the desire to acquire vast for
tunes in the belief that there was
merit in the mere size Of the for
tune rather than in what was
done with It.
In the opening Of the continent
and the development Of natural
resources many-toO many-Op-
portunities existed for the crea-
tion Of such large fortunes. And
there was corruption and crooked
ness. AS the more predatory
among the wealthy became richer
their attempts to obtain personal
power became bolder. The de-
velopment Of great industrial cor
pOrations facilitated the spread Of
this power.
The New Dealers today act as
II they alone have ever dared fight
the greed Of entrenched wealth.
The Republican party under
Theodore Roosevelt went much
farther than the New Deal in
lighting corruption in high places.
In all their fights they were more
interested in the curbing of crook
edness than in furnishing the hon
estly successful.
To the Republicans Of thirty
years ago there was no greater
glory in fighting a corrupt trust
than in lighting crookedness on
the part Of small business man.
The New Dealers, in contrast,
have sought primarily to stimu-
late resentment against all big
business, whether honest or not.
They have sought to discredit fl
nancial success regardless Of
it had been honest or dis
honest They stirfed up hat
red and distruS Ind at the same
lime have put unwarranted curbs
)n all business, small as well as
arge, instead of furnishing busi-
ness crooks and helping honest
The Republican party believes
n giving all honest business a
air chance.
But if its new leaders are to be
rue to the earlier Republican ira
lition they will devise means Of
helping in particular the men and
women of small property, the
mall business men, those farm
rs who have managed to hang on
o their farms. These are entitled
o be heard-and to be given a
arger say in the affairs of the
iarty.
What is needed is to make il
arier for more people to Join this
lass-to become property own
rs in a small way, to build IN
heir own small businesses.
These people are the ones who
re getting the real raw deal un-
er the New Deal. They are the
mes who are paying for relief.
lr the benefits handed out to the
and the unsueeess-
H. and for the experiments which
i manner Of inexperienced po-
tlcai hangers-on are conducting
the name of the New Deal.
Surely they deserve a helping
md from the party which their
'andfathers founded and their
theirs supported.

mon better than to get enough nom
ey and tank up" as soon as he is
liberated from prison so he will be
sent back, especially throughout the
winter. He says the prison food is
good enough for him, he has a warm
place to stay and nothing to do and
that is more than he has when he
is on the outside.
Milford chronicle., 1936-02-21

So far as can be learned he is the
only man in lower Delaware who
had rather remain in prison than
enjoy his liberty. He has become a
problem for the officers and an ex-
pense to the county. There seems to
be no way Of getting rid Of him. A
search Of the law books seem to fail
to give remedy.

u small pfOperty-the farmers
the small-tOwn merchants and
professional men and others who
had a stake in the land-to DrO-
tect them on the one hand from
the land-holding aristocracy Of
the South and on the other from
the masters of industry in the
East.
These people Of small means.
the owners of small homes and
small businesses, the farmers who
work their own soil, are the truly
forgotten men Of today: They in
clude those who have been suc-
cessful and have come through
the depression with their heads
still up and their confidence IN
American ideals unshaken. They
number not only the farmers who
own their own land but the small
merchants who have resisted the
ehaln stores, the small manufac-
turers who have kept their busi-
ness going and their people en-
ployed.
These are the true backbone
OF the country incidentally.
of the Republican party
While these people, like the
Democrats, recognize the dangers
to America from the growth OF 4
big business. they differ from the
New Dealers in that they refuse
to believe that all big business is
crooked simply because it is big.
and that all big fortunes were
built up dishonesty.
They believe in curbing crooked
business, whether large or small
They recognize the dangers of en-
trenched greed. But they know
that many men have come bv
their wealth honestly. These they /
would protect. just as they would
punish those who have come by
their wealth dishonesty.
That the small property owners
of the country form one of the
most important elements no
thoughtful person will deny.
America was settled and made
great not by a few business buc-
u
cancers and financial pirates who
glorified in exploitation. but by
the millions Of hard working men I
and women who came to these
shores determined to improve
their economic lot. The desire to
own was strong in the settlers
and immigrants, and they were Z
not afraid to work hard. Today / (
we should help them hold what Ii
hey have acquired. h
These people, as Terbert Agar a

TWO NEGROES HELD
ON ROBBERY COUNT
Robbed American Tourist
Camp of Cash, Pistol
Early Sunday

Wallace Jeter and Sterling Turner,
two Negroes, are being held in Vance
county Jail charged with entering the
American Tourist Camp early Sun
day morning and stealing pistol val
ued at $40 and a bag of money con-
tanning $4195 while the proprietor J.
H. Albright and his helpers, Ezra
Daniel and Billie Parham were asleep
within.
Jeter and Turner were employees of
the establishment, working in the tea
room as servants.
The station was robbed a few
months ago. and Albright and his
clerks had been sleeping in the build
ing since that time.
When the establishment was clos
ed shortly after midnight Saturday
night, the cash from the register was
taken by Albright into the sleeping
quarters, together with the pistol and
placed within his easy reach. The
intruders did not arouse any of those
sleeping, and the money was not miss
ed until they awoke.
Deputies w. S. Strange and F. E.
Marston were called to the scene and
they secured a warrant to search the
quarters of eter at the camp. They
found the money bag with all of its
contents and the pistol buried in the
wall He was arrested at the time
and Turner was taken a short while
later when he reported for work.
The Negroes will go to trial as soon
as officers have completed their in
vestigation, Deputy Strange stated to-
day.

ECONOMISTS ARE
AGAINST NEW TAX
Wall Street Calls 1t ere
form, Revenue and Re-
Election Levy
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

New York, March 9.-Orthodox bus
mess economists are rising up against
President Roosevelt's suggestions to
Congress to tax undistributed corpo-
ration earnings.
Colonel Leonard p Ayres, vice pre-
sident of the Cleveland Trust Com
pany, most publicized of all business
economists, asserts:
That the tax would take from COM
panies necessary" SURPRISES.
That dividends would he decreased.
That security values would be i'm
paired.
THREE RS"
The Wall Street Journal calls the
proposed tax the "Three RS Tax
Reform, Revenue and Reelection.
Wall Street looks for the tax to be
enacted. 1t has an appealing element
to Democratic congressmen-it ap-
plies no direct tax to individuals. 1t
hits only corporations that "can af-
ford it, corporations that have "mon-
ey lying loose"
A CHANGE NEEDED
The New York Suns financial col
umn remarks:
What is needed is much more
thorough-going change in the tax sys-
tenn.
$50 long as high income taxes are
levied against profits on sales of Sc
curities, the higher prices are apt tc
go, largely because of the reluctance
of holders to SELL when they think
prices are high enough.
"The sickness of stocks in the
hands of those who had large paper
profits, caused by the high income
taxes, was responsible for much of the
fantastic advances in prices before
the 1929 break Something of the sort
seems to be again in the making"
STATE COURT NOW
New York labor interests now are
agitated over the New York State
Court of Appeals (the states highest
court).
BY to decision it'd eclared an
constitutional the minimum wage law
for women. Thed issenting opinion
was read by Judge Lehman, brother
of Governor Lehman.
Labor leaders assert the decision
nullifies any attempt to regulate
sweat shops.

Raleigh, March 9.-All of the power

that prospective rural current users

BORAH MAY BOLT
# NOT NOMINEE
Could Still Run for Senate;
Could Be Big Asset to
Roosevelt
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, March 9-Is there any
possibility that Senator William E..
Borah, if defeated for the Republican
presidential nomination will flop over
to support of President Roosevelt's
campaign for reelection?
The Idaho statesman's record would
seem to imply an answer emphat1cal-
ly in the negative.
Yet there are Roosevelt strategists
who think there is a chance of such
a development. And some Republicans
speak of it as conceivable.
It is noteworthy that the senator
has not said he will he for the G. O..
p nominee if he is not nominated.
He is under no obligation to do so,
but the suggestion is heard that he
might have been expected to say it
unless he planned otherwise.
