The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-09-17


normal. The boys and girls are in
school, Archibaldson's teeth have been
returned to him and he is through with
cumming it,, Maine has gone Re-
publican, vacations are just about
over, parades are finished until Hal
lowe'en, bootleggers have made them
selves scarce, and Harvest Time is
here.
One family finished their vacation in
three states: Mother in state of re-
taxation, sister in the state of mat
rimony and father in the state of bank
ruptcy.
And speaking of bankruptcy always
reminds me of Roosevelt. The New
Deal has coined a new catch intended
to make the people of the nation for
get the awful waste of the administra-
ton.
1t is spending to save"
Landon's slogan is "save to spend"
and that is the rule of the world where
ever men and women think in sane
terms.
Colonel Knox spoke of the misdeal
at Washington as government gone
cuckoo"
Now the cuckoo is bird that appro-
PIRATES other birds nests, breaks their
eggs and leaves it's own offspring for
them to bring up; and most of the
New Deal agencies are living just that
sort of a life.
DR.. Tugwell's little but expensive
communities illustrate the cuckoo
principle perfectly. When Tugwell
started his homestead projects he es-
timated the expense would range from
$4,000 to $4,000 family. Official fig
ures show the actual cost per family
has been from $6,305 to $2O,548. At
Arthurdale, w. Va, the total cost has
been $1,711,2 200, for 165 families, or a
cost per family of $1O,370. And the
spending is not yet over.
The army of regulators the New
Deal has set over business and industry
are cuckoos; the seventy new commits
sions they created after promising to
abolish commissions, are in the same
class. Filling relief with politics is a
cuckoo's act, and borders on that of
the vulture.
To squander somebody else's money
without his consent is cuckooism-and
the taxpayers are cuckoo if they con-
tinue to stand for it.
Give Landon a chance to land in the
White House.
Doctor Kercheval's interest in the
town is not only in words, but also in
deeds. Last week he paid the expenses
of the band and firemen who went to
Parsons, w. Va, for a celebration in
that town just in order to get the
Parsons band and fire company to
come to Oakland for the Halloween
parade.
Those who meet with Senator Le-
Gore, the Republican candidate fol
Congress and destined to GUST David
j. Lewis from his present status, are at
once impressed with the sincerity of
the man.
He is honest in his convictions and
is thoroughly against the outlandist
policies of the New Deal.
He is grateful to Garrett county
| for what its voters have already done
for him. His election would be good
for this territory.

This week the Red Cross craft mart
a place where handicapped people
worked on handicrafts and brought
their wares for sale, was closed, and il
was stated that the place would be
closed indefinitely.
No funds are available for reopenine
the mart. 1t was stated that there
were so few handicapped people inter.
ested in trying to earn living that
the expense per person was too great
1t was also pointed out that the hand.
ing out of relief money was in a large
measure responsible for the lack Of
ambition on their part.
An illustration was given. Two PEG.
pie had been making an article thai
was finding sale in other cities. They
had attempted to get on relief but
were refused because they were re-
siding with parents. One of them re.
Gently married and all three moved t.
a home of their own and thus became
eligible for relief. So they decided they
would work no more. Orders for the
article keep coming in, but they CAM
be filed. The former workers hav,
relief and seem to be content.
Those who worked diligently for TIN
