| King Solomon: Hiram, King OF
Tyre; and Hiram Abif.
And Kentucky has produced
three great men that I love:
Abraham Lincoln, DR.. Samuel r.
Miller, and the distinguished
G mlnfatnee
gentleman from Kentucky 'Mr'
Robsion.)"
Warning Apostles
DR. Francis Townsend's fusil-
lading against the Presidents
court bill certainly has kicked
over the apple cart in the OLD
Age movement.
CAPTAIN Delbert Brunton,
Townsend's hand-picked WASH
ington representative, has re-
signed in disgust. Gilmore Young
able national secretary, is threat
! ening to quit. Congressional sup
porters caustically have told The
good doctor" to hold his tongue.
And in the current issue of The
Townsend National Weekly, edi-
tor J. w. Brinton gives his boss a
snappy word-lashing.
Last November 16," he re-
minds his readers, "Dr. Townsend
said: I hope all Townsendites will
ioin me in declaring their loyalty
to the President for the coming
four years. Now the good doc
'sor is not following his own ad-
vice.
DIR. Townsend should realize
that people still do some of their
own thinking. that you can
lead them but not drive them"
The man reputed to have sold
Townsend his Supreme Court
strategy is Blair Coan, one-tlme
henchman of the notorious AT
torney General Harry Daugherty,
now close adviser of the good
doctor" A showdown over Coan
is expected at the annual con-
vention in Washington July 81
25.
Whether the dissenters can oust
Coan anG force Townsend to re-
linquiSh his one-man rule re-
mains to be seen. But whatever
happens merry battle is coming,
and its outcome may determine
the fate of the movement.
If Townsend wins and Coan
stays, a big split-up is certain.

framing the new Wages-and-
hours bill-John G. Winant,

to be done before they were free
to entertain or consider their even

ness of dilly dallying. Now,
whether or not they are going

They plan their work themselves.
Each one takes a weeks turn at
washing. Of course, attending to
the scrapings, cleaning the sink,
and leaving the kitchen in order,
goes with the washing job. The
girl who wipes the dishes, also
clears the table, tides the dining
room, and attends to the tea
towles. Each one knows what is
expected OF her, and does it. They
have ceased to feel that doing
dishes is mere drudgery, and a
hardship to grumble about. They
take pride in doing their work
well, and best of all, they seem
happy to help me-"
you've given me new hope"
Mrs. Elder said feelingly. Per
haps my girls could work out a
pleasant, efficient schedule, too.

THE ONCE OVER
THE PERFECT TAXPAYER
BY H. 1. PHILLIPS
Copyright, 1887, by The Associated Newspapers

Phidias Gideon SassafrasS Fry
Loved to pay taxes exceedingly high;
He liked to pay more
Than the tax laws called for;
To save tho twas legal, he never would try.
He'd read the tax law and whenever he'd see
A chance to save something he'd murmer,
mot mel
When loophole he saw
He would pipe This is raw;
I wouldn't feel quite the same man morally
Phidias Gideon Sassafrass Fry
Always from any deductions would shy:
He refused to be tight
When quite legally right,
And the thought that he couldn't pay more
made him cry.
Opinions of lawyers and experts he'd shun
For fear they might show him way to save
mon;
When they'd point out flaw
In the income tax law
He'd say Why, you tricky old son-of-a-gun! -
No matter how clearly a lawyer would show
How legal it was for man to save dough
He would say why, I'd feel
Like terrible heel
To have those clean Democrats find me so low
vi
Phidias Gideon Sassafrass Fry
Often exclaimed oh, Id just soon die
AS not to pay twice
When just once would suffice
And have to look straight into MorgenthauS
eye!"
If he found a clause to save one buck or many
He'd lift up his eyebrows and say, Not
penny
For he wished to be sure
He was morally pure
Like those Washington fellows who never
pay any!

continue with little abatc-
ment until late in August. and we probably
shall not see cold weather again until Christ
mas or after And we are ready to bet our
1929 model pajamaS that the folks who
complained most about the cold this past
spring and winter will be the loudest in
their complaints against the hot weather in
prospect
May we suggest that one way to minimize
the effects of hot weather is not to talk
about it. Everytime YOU ask the other fei-
low, Is it hot enough for YOU" you remind
him of the heat. The suggestion is cruel.
Suggestion is the most powerful thing on
earth. Tell person that he looks bad and
tell him often enough and you can put him
in bed Reminding other people of hot
weather has the immediate effect of adding
to and aggravating their discomfort
Of course it's hot enough for you! Why
remind YOU of it? 1t is the height of sanity
to refrain from suggesting unpleasant sub
jectS; after all it is a low order of mentality
that can think of nothing better to talk
about than the weather.
Mark Twain once said that everybody
talks about the weather and nobody does
anything about it. We suspect that so many
people like to talk about the weather be-
cause it is sure thing that they will not
be called upon to do anything about it,

THE romance of the former

LUCK Warfield ran such fabulous


course to its elimination in
yesterdays wedding, that it seems as if one

addition of the timc-honOrcd fairy tale con-

But real life is not nearly So simple. Its
pOst-martal course capnot be SO noncha-

the end, with, in the present instance. a
worldwide public intent on reading OH to
the last line of the final chapter
Whether an Edward, rid of the trappinss
and trammCls of royalty, may reveal per-
sonality and an intrinsic worth that will
win him an honorable place in the lay
world; or whether his future course will be
directed to a mad pursuit of pleasure -
whether his schooling for power and his
worldwide contacts have ripcned a COM
petent intellect; or whether his previous en-
forced aloOfncss from the work-a-day world
has merely stunted its growth and deprived
him of any ability to achieve the common
touch - are questions that will be answered
in the sequel to the romance that has held
the interest of the world
How that will be written perhaps rests no
more with Edward himself as with the
woman who is now his wife. No man be-
fore has made such a material sacrifice foI
love. Tn, woman who inspired such a re-
nuncialion of power and place might vel

The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1937-12-09
By Paul John Kvale, M. c.

The big news this week for us
of the agricultural districts is the
determined fight of Senators
Borah (Rep. Idaho), Austin
(Rep.-Vt.) and King (Dem.-
Utah). These gentlemen have all
taken up the cudgels in opposi-
ton to the proposed legislation.
The remarks of Senator Borah re-
garding the proposed bill are
highly significant in view of the
fact that he is generally acknow-
lodged an authority on constitu-
tional law and one who consorted
most pleasantly with the presi-
dent at Boise last fall.
Proceeding to the record let us
quote Senator Borah in part:
''This will Immediately subject
those who fail to sign contracts to
the disfavor of the government. l
say it is punishment-a dis
tinct punishment-to withhold
soil conservation payments and
loans from farmers if they do not
contract under the new program"
Senators Ellender (Lem.-Ia.)
and McGill (Dem.-Kans.) argue
that the pending measure is not
more compulsory than the present
soil conservation program whose
benefit payments are conditioned
upon farmers complying with the
approved soil building and con-
serving practices. Borah replied
as follows: 81 do not think one
unconstitutional measure justifies
another. 1t is contrary to the
public interest if you are going to
use it as a club to drive the
farmer into this program. The
idea of crop control and the phil
osophy of the reduction of food
stuffs in the midst of hunger ORR
ginated in the previous admin
istration. Mr.. Hoover was the
author of that doctrine. He was
the first man, not only in the
history of the United States but
in the history of the world, to
propose scarcity as a remedy
for economic ills, while the whole
world for 5000 years has been
inventing machinery and apply
ing itself in every way to produce
more and more in order that the
human family may live in ordin-
airy peace. If there is any glory
in the philosophy which we are
now proposing to enact into law
that glory must be shared with
the previous president of the
United States. I was opposed to
it at that time; and I do not care
where it comes from I am oppos-
ed to it now" The senator then
proceeded to predict that millions
of people would go hungry this
winter and millions of children
would be kept out of school be-
cause of insufficient food and
clothing.
At this point Senator Barley
(Dem.-Ky.) Majority Leader, in
terrupted to ask: "Just what is
the Senator's program for handl-
ing this?" Borah replied, "Basical-
ly 1 would, in the first place, pro-
coed to legislate on the theory
of separating the domestic needs
from the surplus needs. I would
not interfere with production. l
would leave that to the farmer.
But I would, as government,
where it was necessary to assist
in disposing of these SURPRISES,
take the surplus off the market
and separate it from the domes-
tic needs" Senator Barley then
inquired: "Would that involve
