TAXES DROP WHEN GOVERNMENT
COSTS LESS

The Associated Industries of Nebraska have
started national advertising campaign, using the
theme, "No Sales Tex in Nebraska" Well ilustrat-
ed the advertisements carry the following message
Before 1929 only American state levied 3
sales tax. Now "a states have a general sales tan
which cost the people last year $35T160,0QO, Ne
braSka leveS sales tax. Most states adopted the
sales tax on the plea of emergency need for more
revenue. Nebraska met the emergency by reducing
it's cost of government.
Nebraska regards the sales tax as unjust
burden upon the farmer labor and industry. 1t
adds to the cost of living weighs more heavily upon
the bread winner, and is nuisance to business.
"NebraskaS policy is no new forms of taxa
ton"
Such message the above will have strong
appeal to the average person who is fed up on
taxes, taxes and more taxes.
We weel that the keynote of the Nebraska
situation is that they reduced the cost of govern
ment,
No doubt. if close and rigid Investigation was
made there would be found that IN many instances
the cost of government of towns. counties and
states could stand drastic reductions-W aynesville

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

Representative Robert l.. Bacon, Of New York.
says that lit is becoming increasingly evident that
public morality and protection of the right of the
people to free and unpolluted ballot are beCom-
ing major issues of this years campaign. Let the
Democrats meet that issue. Let Mr. Roosevelt I'M
dertake to defend what the senate committee has
denounced"
Mr.. Roosevelt is compelling the Democrats to
meet the issue. He has challenged them to name
senators and representatives who are not his ro-
bots. Public morality and the right of the people
to choose their political officers not only major
issues Of the campaign; they constitute the para
mount issue. If South Carolina should send a po-
litica robot to Washington, it must expect TO be
treated as the president should choose to treat it,
Ellison D. Smith is no robot. He does not flash
on and off at the presidents command If he were
a robot the president would not have tried to stab
him politically in Greenvie. The crisis in the
United States is due in wide measure to Americans
who choose to live off government instead of try
ing to contribute to the support of government

" senatorial primaries since
MIR. Roosevelt began "thc great

lima and California, Aug. 30.
Washington, in touch with all

defeat of either Senator Ellison
D. Smith, theoretically condemned
by Roosevelt and marked for
slaughter by New Dealers, or Sen
ator William G.. McAdoo, per
sonally endorsed in California by
the President.
Both are in their los. In Nc
Adoo's case Roosevelt is paying
political debts incurred at the 1897
Democratic convention and in the
FIVE years since during which time
McAdoo has voted for virtually
every administration bill.
Cotton Ed" Smith opposed the
Court plan, Wage-hour legislation,
and the Wagner housing bill. He
voted for reorganization and the
spending-lendins program, but
gets scant credit from New Deal

he was worried about renomina-

TIE HINES TRIAL SHOULD BE A
CITIZENS EYE.OPENER
iRv BRUCE CATION

iRv BRUCE CATION
The New York trial of Tammany Dis
trict Leader Jimmy Hines is certainly pro
,jding a first-rate elementary course in civ
les for the enlightenment of the ordinary
citizen.
Whether MIR Hines is acquitted or con-
ytclcd. this trial is painting in unmistaka~
bic colorS the classic picture of political
corruption in it's relation to organized
crime.
II your memory goes back few years.
vuu will recall that until the advent OF
May0r LaGuardia, Tammany was supreme
oG Manhattan. At the same time. the big
sh1t Of the underworld was the late Dutch
Schultz. According to the evidence pre-
scented so far, Schultz struck bargain
with certain Tammauy bigwigs.
Uuder this bargain. Schultz was TO OPP
crate with a minimum OF police interior
eurc. In return. the political higher-ups
we're to get slice of his profits. But the
benefits to the two parties did not stop
there; for Schultz was able to use this new
alliance TO force his rivals out of business,
while his henchmen provided thousands OF
illegal votes and did good deal OF useful
strong-arm work for the political machine
an election days.
Il would he a good thing if every city
6weller in the land could study that test
,nonv For the picture which it paints is
an authentic picture, regardless of the out
come of this particular trial. That is, that
IS the kind Of set-up we get in our big cities
whenever an unscupulous political organi-
cation has charge of the city government,
The alliance between crime and politics,
American civic life,
Once YOU get that fact firmly fixed in
vour mind, you may find some of the out
iandish history of our postwar years cas-
Ter to understand.
You can see. for instance, why we have
bad a great "crime problem why gangs
have been able to operate openly. why
known criminals were so mysteriously
bard to catch, why the comparatively SIM

the powers of the police.
You can also understand why big city
political machines are so hard to beat,
why they are so we'll supplied with money
Nhy they can always ''roll mp the vote
when the going gets tough.
There never has been any mystery about
it. really But we have strange capacity
for shutting our eyes to the facts of life,
and we usually exercise it to the full where
the crimc-politics alliance is concerned.
If the New York trial will compel us to
realize that that alliance is always, with
ont exception. somewhere present in con-
nectiou with the modern phenomenon OF
large-scale cOmmercialized crime, 1t will
be one of the most useful events OF the
year.

had been given Communist farm
"agitators' by the International
Longshoremens association headed
by Harry Bridges and the Maritime
Federation of the Pacific.
The question may be raised as
to why California agriculture has
been selected as the battle ground
for the efforts of the Communist
party" Knowles said. The answer
is: Because of its vulnerability.
Most of the crops are highly
perishable in nature and must be
harvested and disposed of without
delay, or they will become total
loss.
California agriculture supplies
approximately 40 per cent of all
the fresh and preserved fruits and
vegetables consumed in the United
