six points was champoned by Candidate Roosevelt

seemed to be assured. Mr.. Roosevelt was COM

agencies created by the Hoover regime, strict &C

three branches Of government.

POLITICAL MORALITY" AND WHOSE OK?

It is politely hut none the less firmly insisted.
that the known facts may be realized and under
stood that had the result in Idaho, for instance.
been more encouraging to the new deal leadership
the source of the voting strength would not have
been questioned. 1t may be that the CELEBRATION Of
once definite party lines has induced unexpected
complications. Thus it must be apparent to
the new deal high command that its successes in
the pending and any future elections must depend
upon nonpartisan, independent, or Republican vot-
ers, rather than upon any hopcd-for united voting
strength within the boundaries of the oIdlinc Dem
ocratic party.
Realizing this, the deal leadership should
coucede the right of the unattached or independent
voter to express his choice in the primaries as well
as in the deciding fall elections. Perhaps this was
conceded before the disappointing results in Idaho
and elsewhere If there is resentment, as is now
quite apparent, it may be because of the outcome
which seems to have been unexpected.
Outside the new deal circle, however, it may be
regarded as encouraging and reassuring that it is
being found possible to effectively express and re-
cord the wish and voice of the voter. That is the
American way-Christian Science Monitor.

ANOTHER EASY WAY

Another prosperity scheme is to pay every per
son $50 week with the expressed understanding
that they spend all of it within the week The pay
ments are to be in the form of script and with
each purchase stamp lax is to be affixed to the
back of the script, and when the total in stamps
equals the face of the script, the script IS to be
redeemed from the money received from the sale
of the stamps. 1t is all very fine theory. But in
nutshell it is very little different from the present
plan to bring back prosperity by huge spending.
Taxes are supposed to take care of the redemption
of the script and taxes are supposed to repay the
money borrowing for the spending program, and it
is taxes that is keeping this country in the tmoes
of the present economic struggle Would that Pres
ident Roosevelt would read his campaign speech in
1882 in regard to taxes hinderng the return of
prosperity and that Takes are paid by the sweat
of the working mans brow" and keep the promises
he then made.-Grsgory IS. d. Times-Adovcate.
