is at odds). We know that if
574 is smashed or weakened it
will also be a direct blow against
the A. F. of L. movement and
above all the industrial union

Therefore, we say, the need OF

PUBLIC ENEMY NO.
BY Col. Longshot

Most every decade since Bill
Bradford took out a hunting Ii
cense and came over to shoot
wild turkeys, we have had some
man made inhiction that was
rated as a public nuisance, rang
ing all the way from invading
armies to jazz music, and in most
every instance there has been
some professor of something or
other who had sure cure for
whatever it was.
The native Indians were prob
ABLY the first to make the head
lines, but muzzle leaders and
cheap likker ruined their show,
then the British Red Coats, until
George got their range, and SO on
until our time when Carrie Ma
ton nominated the liquid courage
dispensers, who might have been
cured by prohibition if that
hadn't gone into a tail spin, and
down the line to bootleggers, kid
nappers and Brain Trusters, all
of which someone has had or will
have cure for.
But the rub is that up to date
no mental colossus has devised
cure for the worst disturber o.
public peace the nation has eve
suffered to exist, namely, the EN-

This era has, perhaps with
some justice, been labeled an
"age of reason" yet every day
the fallacy Of reasoning with the
multitude as against an appeal to
the "something-for-n eco
nomic instincts of the mass has
been proven time and again IN
the past few years.
To begin with the entrance OF
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He
appeared at time of economic,
industrial, and social discord
when hysteria rendered the ma
jority of the population OF this
country deaf to the voice OF rea-
son. Roosevelt, or those behind
him, were aware, acutely, of the
populations state of mind, and
mapped the New Deal campaign
accordingly.
Roosevelt recognized the For
gotten Man, and in the Forgotten
Man slogan every INDECENT or

his name. Forgotten Man was

The Minnesota Communist
party is backing up the Farmer
Labor party. That isn't news to
some who know their Minnesota
politics. but it may be for those
who don't.
The Communist party has is
sued pamphlets urging a vote for
the FL bunch. All voters who
cast for Nat Ross, Communist
candidate in the fifth congress
sional district, are urged to cast
their votes for Dewey Johnson
F-L-ite, same district-as Ross
has withdrawn in his favor.
The Red pamphlet has bit to
say about the 574 outfit, too, as
follows:
"The Communist party wishes
to state frankly that it does not
entirely agree with certain poll
cies carried on by some OF the
leaders of 574. We do not agree

BORAH CAN'T STAND LANDON
Editorial From the Las Vegas Evening
Review Journal
II am not for Landon."

II am not for Landon."
With those fateful words, Senator William
E. Borah of Idaho rips the false face OF fake
liberalism off the whole Landon campaign.
Borah is one of the nations foremost liberals
and one of the nations foremost republicans.
Never has his patriotism-or his regularity-been
questioned.
For years Borah has tried to fight the liberal
cause from within the COP. He stood fast
and supported Harding. He supported Coolidge.
He even supported Hoover. In 1912, during the
Bull Moose movement of Theodore Roosevelt
Borah was one of the very few Republican liber-
ais who stood for Taft
But Landon is the limit Landon is the
straw that breaks the back OF even so sturdy d
party loyalty as Borahs.
Il am keeping hands off the presidential
contest l am candidate for re-eleetion as
senator. 1 am conflnmg any Campaigning
strictly to that question"
But Borah makes no bones as to his real
feelings, when he says:
IF certain parties persist in forcing me into
the presidential race shall make clear IN
no uncertain terms what think about Mr..
Landon the forces about him, what really
happened at Cleveland and who wrote the
telegram to the convention and VINO wrote Ihe
name"
In short, oBrah can't swallow Landon. He
can't swallow the reactionary domination OF
Landon's campaign. But here are his own WORDS:
Il am no nypOCTlUe, Uul L "ouiu NC oiS -
associated myself with these men in sup
port of Governor Landon against President
Roosevelt 1t is very clear to me that
THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE AND 1T IS
NOT ON THE SIDE OF THESE DISCRED-
TIED AND REACTIONARY SPOKESMEN.
The Tory press will do its utmost to distort
Borah's words Editors will cry that Borah
hasn't come out for President Roosevelt and
against the Republican nominee. ana ne HASH
in so many words.
But Borah has refused to support Landon.
He is waging new deal campaign in Idaho
He is praising Roosevet'S relief expendl-
lures. Only last week he told banker III
Meridian, Idaho:
president Roosevelt met this relief issue
with courage No one can criticize hlm Tor
that As long as men are jobless through no
fault of their own it is governments respon
slbility to see to it that they and their
families are fed and cared for!'
Borah further is supporting Roosevelts poll
cies on the gold standard. In his Merlolan
speech, Borah said:
Certain individuals say, Let us go back to
the gold standard They say that if We do
prosperity will return. Well, We had the
gold standard in 1929. But the country went
on the rocks. 1t is a means OF economic
enslavement, and those who are seeking lts
return favor placing such chains on the peo-
pie and the nation.
1t is obvious to whom Borah referred he
referred to Landon-and to Landons backerS
Aldrich Kemmerer, the rest OF the wall Street
gold bloc. -,,..
The detection of Senator Borah undoubtedly
is the most dramatic event OF the presidential
campaign.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF INITIATION
Edwin Walter Kemmerer
Condensed from The American Mercury,
July. 1896

Now it is difficult to predict with exactness
the consequences of the New Deal financial
policies But this much can be said with Ger
tainty: If the present rate OF government
spending and creation of huge budgetary dell
cts long continues, the full force of ntlatlon
such as most of the belligerent countries OF
Continental Europe experienced after the Worlo
War will inevitably hit the United States.
OF the total national government DEBT TO-
day. both direct and guaranteed obHgationS,
about fifty-five per cent Is held by the oanks, '
and these banks have absorbed 50 out OF every
Sc of the additions that have been MADE TO
the national debt since June 30, 1880. Forty
per cent of the total loans and investments OF
all the member banks Of the Federal Reserve
system on November l. 1885, consisted of gov
ernment obligations. At the END OF FeDruary ol
the supposedly normal year 1925, approximately
twenty-seven per cent OF the total plllS anu
securities owned by the twelve federal reserve
banks consisted of government debt. But at
the end of February, 1886, that percentage was
984.
This is the way we are financing our huge
government deficits 1t is, as every student Oh
monetary history knows, the broad highway 10
initiation If you doubt it, study the postwar
financial history of France, Belgium, italy, 70
land Austria and Germany bearing in MIND
that there is no fundamental difference between
initiation brought about through the issue Oh
greenbacks constituting government oepI, uru
the issue of bank notes secured by government
debt or through the creation OF bank deposits
which circulate by means of checks and Whlch
arise from loans secured by the same govern
ment debt. .--
When the United States went off the gold
standard in the spring OF 1888 and started down
the skids toward the fifty-nine-cent dollar, 1t
had by far the largest gold reserve OF any
county in the world. How certain guaranty
against the dangers of serious Imitation, tnen,
is our present ten-billion-dollar reserve Whlcn
must support not only approximately SIX Dllion
dollars of paper money and underWelght silver
in circulation but addition OF over forty
billion dollars of bank deposit currency?
When, for example an individual goes into
bankruptcy he may pay off his creditors at
thirty cents on the dollar; when government
initiates it's currency, it may pay its creators
in thirty-cent dollars. But from the STANDPOINT
of what the creditors receive there is no dif-
ference
The total expenditures of the federal gov
ernment during the four years OF the present
administration will exceed by something ike
four billion dollars the twenty-four-and hall
billions expended during the l24 years from
the inauguration of President Washington to

COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL
CIVIL SERVICE PROPOSAL

No other state constitutional amend
ment proposed on the Nov. 3 ballot
would have the immediate, far-reaching
effect of that listed as No. z, providing
for civil service requirements in county
and municipal governments. 1t is one
which the voters of the state should
study carefully; one in which the para
mount question lies between two desires.
The amendment would provide for
civil service appointment and require
ments of all city and county officers
except district attorneys, city attorneys,
county assessors when their office is not
combined with another office, supervis-
ors, councilmen, mayors, city or county
managers and others of the same type.
The exemption includes persons working
in offices or on projects financed in
whole or in part with federal funds. All
others would be under civil service.
Civil service commissions, strictly Sc
gregated from politics, would be ap-
pointed in cities and counties by boards
of supervisors, each commissioner to
serve a nine-year term.
Two principal objections are voiced.
One is that creation of the various COM
missions would be expensive. This can
be answered by proponents of the mea-
sure with the fact that savings on cleo
ton expenses will compensate for the
expense of the commission. The other
bjection is one not so easily answered.
1t is that present city and county en-
poyes would be blanketed in under
civil service, to retain their positions
until retired by age or disability as pro-
vided by state law. The only truthful
answer is that, if civil service is to be
undertaken, it must begin somewhere.
In the main, persons now filling pubic
offices are satisfactory to a aJortly OF
the voters. Only time, however, could
place the civil service system at its
goal. There would undoubtedly be some
Objectionable features in the beginning,
and perhaps for several years. The sys-
tenn of blanketing in employees, how
ever is one generally used in state and
federal civil service offices when the
system is first adopted. 1t would hardly
be fair to turn out all present officers
and employees and begin with an entire
ly clean slate.
The benefits of civil service, once it
has had time to begin fair operation,
need little explanation. The amendment
under consideration is we'll drawn, with
out hidden clauses.
Favoring the amendment, this paper
nevertheless recommends to its readers
to give the proposal considerable thought
