TuUo Concert Singers
To Be Presented
Here Tuesday

Two artists who will appear here
in a novel concert program are Ele-
amor Steele, soprano, and Hall Glow
is, tenor They are scheduled for a
duet recital Tuesday evening at Will
son school, which promises to be an
interesting evening, sponsored by the
Imperial Valley Music Teachers as
Sociation.
Duets of Schumann, Schubert,
Blangini, Haydn, Sgambati Faure-
not forgetting those of half dozen
modern composers including kath-
crime Ruth Heyman and Harry T.
Burleigh-make up the bulk of their
program. Their material is beyond
question inviting, and the popular
ity which has greeted the pair both
here and on two recent European
tours accounts for their present dis
tinguished position in the music
world.
Miss Steele is a New Yorker who
was heard extensively in opera and
concert in both Paris and New York,
before she and Mr.. Clovis began
their duet work. She has studied
with Jean de Reszke, Edouard Rou-
ard of the Paris Opera and Nine.

alton She and Mr.. Clovis became
first associated as leading soprano
and tenor of the New York Opera
Comique, where they appeared to-
gether in The Magic Flute, The
Marriage of Figaro, Orpheus in
Hades, The Gypsy Baron, etc.
Mr.. Clovis comes from Iowa, was
educated at Grinnell college and des-
tined for the law But after year
at the Chicago University of Law
School, he decided to forego it for
his secret ambition to become a
singer. At college his beautiful ten
or voice had attracted attention, and
he had toured the middle west while
still an undergraduate with Grin
nellS justly famous glee club Com
ing to New York, he Immediately
won Juilliard graduate fellowship,
and after five years training both
here and abroad-mostly under the
direction of Nine. Schoen- Rene, he

The following original poems were
turned in to the Post Press as Will
sons schools contribution to the
school news showing the work done
in creative English.
The Sunset
One last ripple across the lake
One last glimpse of the trees
One last beam for the sun to make
Before it sinks beyond the seas.
One last gleam of wavering light
Just one last peek at the world
One little beam that isn't SO bright
Before Nights Cloak is unfurled.
The heaven CLEANS like fire in the
West
And color seems to flood the sky
While the golden sun SINKS down to
rest
And evening bree2es softly sigh.
Lois Turner 7-3.
The Call Of the Mighty
Oh for ship in q bounding sea,
A clipper dipping its rail to lee
Or Il schooner trim with flying jibs
Even freighter with sturdy ribs
Just to own ship, ship to love
A ship to proudly be skipper of
I'd ride the wind OF reefed South
Seas
Weather typhoons in the great
Chinese
No riches could fulfill this desire
A wish that always has burned like
fire
To master over a crew so gay,
To handle the helm to feel the
spray,
OH such a thing may be but Il

MAYOR ENDORSES
 LOCAL TAG DAY
Public Asked to snswer Appeal for Contributions
 to Orphanage Fund

Mayor Frank Hayes in an inter view received at City Hall today, of1cially gave his indorsement to the 'sTag Day" to be conducted here to- morrow by St. Joseph's church.
 The mayor when interviewed called attention to the fact that all receipts derived through public con- tribution in tomorrow's "Tag Day" are for worthy charities, involving people of Lithuanian extraction in Waterbury.
 He stressed particularly the fine work that is done by St. Joseph's Orphanage in caring for orphans of the Lithuanian nationality, calling attention to the good that it accom- plisheS through its fine administra- tion and excellent facilities for car- ing for the unfortunate local young sters of Lithuanian percentage. He also told of the great help that this orphanage and other Lithuanian charities are to the city of Water bury.
 He urged that all who can pur- chase tags tomorrow from the chil- dren of St. Joseph's parochial school who will sell them throughout the city.

 No definite information has been received by local members of the staff in connection with the day work will actually begin, but 1t is generally supposed that it will start the first part of next week. The project is now in the New Haven oflce, having been approved by the department of budget in Washing ton.
 The latest information in regard to activity on the local WPA front, so to speak, indicates that local workers will be paid on Saturday morning at the state armory. The pay day for the last work period was originally listed for Tuesday, October 13, but in accordance with the policy of William Hurley, new state administrator, who set about to eliminate all delays in connection with pay-checks, the workers will be duly reimbursed for services this time three days early.
 By moving up the pay day to Sat- lIrday the men will not be forced to wait until the weekend has passed before getting their pay for the last work period. It is prob- ably the earnest hope of all that

Scanning the Record
 A glance at the Roosevelt record Cells a different tale. On March 4, isss. MT. Roosevelt swore to uphold and preserve the Constitution. Dur ing his administration he has father ed nine pieces of legislation declar- ed unconstitutional by the U. s. su- nreme court, and in writing to Rep resentative Samuel B. Hill, demo- crat. of Washintgon regarding the Guffey coal act, MT. Rooseveit said: IT hope your committee VIII not permit doubts as to constitu- +ionality. however reasonable. to block the suggested legislation"
 The time that has been wasted bv unconstitutional and visionary reforms constitutes an irreparanie loss to the nation.
 Quit Gold Standard
 President Roosevelt promised "a sound currency, to be preserved at all hazards" On April 30, 1883, he. abandoned the gold standard in the United States by executive or der: on May 12 of the same year he signed Q bill giving him power to issue S3,0O0, 100000 in fiat money, and on Jan. 31, 1884, he fixed the gold content of the dollar at 59.00 per cent of what 1t had formerly been.
 President Roosevelt called the spending of the Hoover admins tration "the most reckless and ex- travagant pace" discoverable in any peacetime government. He promised a saving of 25 per cent in the cost of federal government.
 yhe New Deal government in- creased the Hoover speneding by 38 per cent in 1884; by 43 per cent in 1885; and by 92 per cent in 1886. It created more than 50 additional bureaus and agencies.
 The nations chief executive promised to avoid the danger of . loose fiscal policy, and to set an example by making the govern ment solvent. From March 4, 1883, to July 3O, 1886, the New Dealers have increased the national debt by $13,56S. .000, 900, to an all-time high of $34,500, ,000, ,000.
 Yet in his budget message of Jan. 3, le36, the president said, '"The credit of the government is ct its highest"

Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal party as they stand today at the cross roads of American public opinion.
 The facts are, and the record supports it, that President Roosevelt is the greatest promise break that he has never hesitated to turn from a pledge when political expediency demanded that action.
 Governor Landon's record as chief executive of Kansas shows that he has never made promise he could not fill broken that he ever made. He has been upright and straightforward, carrying on his state government on pay-as-you-go basis.

Charges Relief Politics

On Feb. 2, 1884. President Roose- welt condemned politics in relief. Yet New Deal leaders in politics all over the nation, by letter and other wise, warned those receiving relief and holding WPA jobs to register democratic or else lose their jobs.
 In accepting his nomination Pres ident Roosevelt subscribed to the re- n-oval of government from all fields of private enterprise, except where t...s was in the public interest. At least 20 government agencies creat- ed since March 4, 1883, comete with private enterprise.
 On May 2, 1883, President Roose- welt decried government control of business. In its ruling on the NRA, the U. s. supreme court declared that under that act there would be virtually no limit to the federal bowed, and, for all practical pur- poses, we should have a completely centralized government"

A new problem confronts the members of the local WPA trafic survey project, the Democrat learned today, in regard to location. When it was announced yesterday the project had been approved for an amount involving 6,284 and that work would probably begin in 8 few days, the members of the staff learned that work will probably not be continued in the rear of the Chamber of Commerce building. This was where the project head quarters had been located since the beginning of the work.
 One of the most persistent rumors yesterday was that the headquarters of the project might be at the Lin- coin House on Field street, but Wil- liam. M. Harris stated today that he knew nothing whatsoever about such 8 plan. It has also been rllmored that the project may set

Agencies on Increase

In his campaign speeches, Presi- dent Roosevelt called for simpli- fication of government activities. Today there are three different fed- eral committees. each independent of the her, studying overlapping services in the federal government.
 Before the New Deal, 1o agencies dealt with production and distribu- tion of power. In 1885, there were 8 agencies concerned with it. Tn 1882, two agencies were concerned with settling labor disputes. Today, 12 are interested.
 Four agencies of the government dealt with housing problems before the New Deal. Today, IS are deal- i-.- with the problem.
 Fc.eign trade concerned six agen- cies in 1892. The New Deal doubled the number.
 Four federal agencies made loans to farmers in 1882. In 1886 there are 1S making such loans.

Spending Is Raped

President Roosevelt promised in his inaugural address to make "the income balance outgo." During his administration, he has spent more than twice as much as the govern ment has received, expending $24,- 62,0OO.0 900 while taking in $10,832,- 100000.
 The president declared, on Oct. 19, 1892, in Pittsburg, "Our people and our business cannot carry its excessive burdens of taxation" Passing IA different pieces of tax legislation, estimated tax receipts in 1887 represent an increase of 196 per cent over 1883.
 In 1884, the president deplored hidden, consumer taxes. On Sept. 2, 1885, in a letter to Publisher Roy w. Howard, he admitted that consumer taxes, which had SUD- piled only 30 per cent of the national revenue in 1929, todayaare supplying 60 per cent of that total.
 President Roosevelt declared on Jan. {, 1885, 'The federal govern ment must and shall quit this busi- ness of relief" Today there are ap- proximately 100000 people un- employed, while WPA Administra- tor Harry L. Hopkins estimates that on Jan. l, 1886, at least 19,0O0,O00 people were receiving relief benefits
