FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
When you read in your newspa-
per of the stern control of the press
by the governments in many Euro
pean nations you should feel like
singing praises to your own land
Of the free" Is it any wonder that
America is making such gigantic
strides in progress compared with
nations of the Old World? In those
countries only voices which the gov
eminent rules correct and safe for
those in power may speak to the
public through the press. The gov
eminent hold the people in the hol-
low and its hand and freedom Of
speech and press are unknown. Here
the voice Of the people is heard thru
the government and the press. There
are many varieties Of opinions ex-
pressed through American newspa-
pers, and you may differ with many
of them. But the fact remains that
there is always something to suit
every taste. The true freedom of
this country lies in an unshackled,
independent press. America has
long enjoyed that blessing, and It
should be carefully guarded.

Approximately thirty percent Of
those over sixty-five years of age
are now receiving old age pensions
in this state and the cost of this
portion of our social security plan
is at the rate of approximately eight
million dollars per year. It is es-
timated that fifty-five percent OF
the 10000 people over sixty-five
years Of age in this state are elig-
ible. When this latter figure is
reached and We are paying the $50
per month provided by law, the to-
tai annual cost will be over twenty
million dollars, and the states share
will be over ten million. Inasmuch
as only forty-seven percent of the
estimated tax income of twenty-five
million is allocated to the state gen.
eral fund, social welfare in all its
branches bids fair at no distant date
to require sum equal to the entire
state tax revenue. If we desire to-
exceed in lberality we must, il
seems, prepare to pay more taxes.

SHAMELESS IN SPAIN

SPANS bloody revolution, after
being in progress for IL months,
represents a loss of $4,000 lives.
That vast number of men, women
and children have not been slain
and three times that number
wounded. The damage done can
not be repaired within the life of
the present generation. Hatreds
have been loosed that cannot be
wiped out in another century. AL
the rules of ordinary warfare were
strapped when the fighting started.
Prisoners Of war were killed, unde-
Tended cities bombed from sea and
air, women and children slaughter
ed by wholesale as they fled.
The Spanish struggle will be re-
corded in history as "the little world
war" and If the shocking procedures
which have marked it are to be car
ried out on a still larger scale in the
next great world conflict between
the nations of Europe, then this
thing we call civilization is UNI
worthy Of the name. We are just a
step removed from barbarism.
Newspaper readers around Ken
newick who have kept posted on the
Spanish struggle are justified in
asking what good can come out Of
such slaughter, and who is going to
gain. Spain will never recover from
her present plight, and those die
tators in Europe who have sought
to further their own ends by aiding
In the struggle should hang their
heads In shame over the shambles
they assisted in creating in this
once pround and happy land. Sure
~ retribution must come sooner or
later. It will be a glad day for the
world when such dictators are wiped
from the face Of the earth.

NOT FINISHED

If you are one who was opposed to
the packing of the Supreme Court
by the President and think because
the bill was shelved that the fight
against the evils and threats in
herent in the New Dealism is over,
you are in error. It is not. That
was the first battle. Important tho
the battle was there are others that
lie ahead if the struggle to preserve
constitutional democracy is to be
won. When election time rolls
around again the people of this
country should repudiate every con-
gresham and United States Sena-
tor who voted to pack the court. If
you send them back to congress or
the senate again they will consider
your votes as a mandate to work
their will with the supreme judicial
branch Of our government.

IN SEPTEMBER

IN SEPTEMBER
September brings the close Of the
vacation season, and ends the dam
gers which beset thousands of mo-
florists while they were pleasure
hunting in territory whose highways
were unfamiliar to them. But with
the passing of this hazard, Sep
TENDER brings q still more serious
one. It brings the opening of thous-
ands of schools throughout the
country, and renews the annual de-
mand for extreme carefulness on
the part of those who drive in the
vicinity of a school house.
All things considered, Septem-
Der Is an ideal driving month, with
decreased traffic and less danger
GUS highway conditions than will
be the rule later on. But Septem-
Der brings this one great danger
the resumption Of school and with
it the necessity for increased care
in the operation of a car. Thought
full motorists will keep that fact
constantly in mind.

MAMMA, MAMMA, MAMMA!


Congress has left behind it an
other new high" in the national
debt of more than $50, 00O, O0O, 600.
During the entire session no con-
crete move was made in the direc-
ton Of economy. Instead, another
mortgage was laid on the future,
heavier shackles placed on the
opportunities and welfare of COM
ing generations.
The pity is that our contemporary
1og-rolling, pork-barreling polite
ians will not be In office when the
day Of reckoning arrives, to be
scorned and hated for the spineless
profngates that they are for squan-
dering today the as-yet-unearned
savings Of the citizens Of tomorrow.
No. luckily for them, they will not
be around and they know 1t. That
Is why they are living in luxurious
dissipation now, and doing their
level best to educate the entire Am
erican public to the idea that ex-
travagance is virtue.
For seven years now the country
has been rolling In drunken well
ter OF spending. For seven years
staggering public deficits have been
incurred annually. No one seems to
know, and few seem to care, where
this mad orgy is leading the nation.
Nothing is more insidiouslv deadly
than q national spendthrift policy.
Before 1t, the heritage Of high char
acter, freedom and protection for
the individual citizen. can ultimate
ly be swept away.

they certainly aren't finessers and
