{ Paul DuUver Pleads Guilty Is Sentenced
tccnttnued from Page D

arrested in New Jersey, still driving the automobile containing the two bodies
 shows No Emotion
 As he changed his plea, aS he heard the mandatory sentence, the smalltown playboy remained as emotionlesS as he had ever since Oct. 10 when he was arrested at North Arlington, N. J., at the wheel of an automobile whose trunk and ton. neau held the bodies of his trottled victims.
 But, back in his county jail cell to await removal to state prison at Thomaston, the pale. gangling youth suddenly broke into tears. He turned his back to Deputy Sheriff Clark Hunt and brushed his eyes with his coatsleeve.
 Will Be Guarded
 Sheriff Fernando Francis said Dwyer would be guarded constantly, to prevent any attempt at suicide, until tomorrow morning, when two officers will come from Thomaston and transfer him to state prison.
 The courtroom crowd, In which women predominated, was aston- ished at the trials sudden end at the outset of the third-day session, Dwyers lawyers had promised Q sur prise defense which they believed would override his confession and save him from life imprisonment, They said today that Dwyer was personally responsible for the deci- sion to change his plea.

 This will be an undoubtedly diff. ficult task, since virtually every city department has requested increased appropriations for next year over this year. Requested appropria tions for next year are said to be about $S00000 more than this years total actual appropriations.
 As Is customary, the school dc. partment will receive the largest 1888 appropriation. This year, the sum of Si,000,000 was allocated for this department and next years will be approximately the same 1t is understood.
 Unconfirmcd reports had it that the street department would suffer most in the slicing Of appropria- . tlons for next year, Work of this department will bo greatly curtailed 1t Is said.
 Budget figures suggested by Mayor Hayes are expected to show what departments will be most affected by his plan for reorganization of the city government.

 The Nazi groups are Q reflection upon the thousands of loyal citi- zens of German extraction who fled to cur shores seeking liberty. In the establishment of similar camps in New York, New Jersey, and elsewhere, physical threats and violence broke out between the Nagis and loyal German. Americans.
 I do not believe aliens have the right to organize into military units in our state. Of course our towns and cities may be able to cope with such threats of breach of the peace or violation of local laws, but the movement Is 50 well- financed that I believe 1t deserves your attention and investigation as well.
 1t may be possible, after the expected report IS submitted by the department of justice, for congress to pass federal laws-al- ways remembering that we must find violations that constitute an overt act, 50 that we ourselves will not be guilty of stifiing freedom of thought and conduct. From the local and state angle, Jurisdiction comes within the purview of the state, and violations of local law, breach of the peace, and jeopar. dizing the states powers and rights are state matters.

 "They have swapped everything today but the capitol. They have traded and promised members every. thing to get them on that petition.

POLITICAL FALLACIES

One of the political faaces OF the times mas been the
apparent political generosity'' of the New Dealers We
hear great many folks talking about the kindness and
big hearedness of the PROFESSIONAL staemen in giving to
the poor though the money which these speners
distributing avishy actually belonged to them and
was coming out of their personal hopechests. AS mat
ter of fact they not only do not the money! but they
do not pay the greater part of the taxes necessary to raise
the funds for relief It is always easy to be generous with
the other fellows money and it requires great amount
of political unseshness to distribute largesses when the
other fellow is paying the bill So when hear that the
New Dealers spending much money to help the poor
it might be well to stop and ask "whose money?''
But there is another faacy which is closely allied to
this one. We hear great deal about the generosity
of the federal government in 'giving money to the
staes providing funds for local projects such as digging
swimming pools, erecting grandsands and tracks,
counting and trimming trees in the parks, and so on
1t is that great deal of money is going into the
states and local municipalities in this way But the fact
remains that Uncle Sam is not merely taking this money
out of his pocket and handing it to Jonesvie and Clay
Center Uncle Sam raises this money from the people of
the country and the folks in Jonesve and Clay Center
are paying their share-perhaps than their share
They merely handing it to Uncle Sam and he is hand
ing part of it back to hemless several 10 per cent
ductions for overhead
In fact in of the industrial states the local COM
munities are giving to Uncle Sam the way Of taxes lot
more money than they get back On the other hand
of the poorer'' states getting in the way
of federal benefits than they pay back into the federal
treasury Yet this does not tell all the story The In
dustra states who have to raise most of the money raise
the prices of their products to get the tax money off the
and the folks back in the poorer states who
supposed to be benefited by Uncle Sans generosity
pay for it all in higher prices they pay
It's hard game to beat matter whether not Uncle
Sam puts back in the community pocket than he col
leced After ALL it is good deal like poker game where
the "kitty" eventually gets most of the money. In this
case don't have "kitty'' but do have
pensive overhead.
