POY SCOUT FINANCES!

Finances are no obstacles to the Boy
Scouts. Every Afternoon after school
and all dHy Sc turdoy, ct least two
Scouts are on h2nd at the grocery store
ready to telivon your groceries at five
cents an order. II you're in hurry,
tho "Co-op Dependeble Delivery" is at
your service.
1T the excellent suggestion Of
Scouter Stanley r. Rider, President Of
&. c. A., the scouts have undertaken
now enterprise. With your coopara-
ton, they will collect your old news
papers and magazines once or twice
weok. These they will store until
sufficient quantity has been accumu-
lated It which time they will be sold.
You can help by stacking your dis
carded paper, etc., on g shelf in your
outside closet or some other convent
ent place. The proceeds derived from
this venture into "bir business" will
help the boys to get their uniform. and

VISITING ROYALTY

The fact that King George
WI told his Parliament that
he would be happy to accept,
as an expression of good feel
ing, President Roosevelt's in
vitation to visit the u. S.
during the royal Canadian
tour this next spring, means
the strengthening Of ties
which bind these two coun-
tries. 1t will be the first time
in her history that an Eng
Iish ruler has visited this
land during his reign. 1t is
an act of friendliness and a
move for a continuance of
peaceful relations between
this nation and her mother
country. Mrs. Roosevelt,
when asked if she would
kmeel and bow to the crowned
heads, says she will not but
but will extend to them the
American style of greeting,

A SUGGESTIONS:

1t isn't too early to talk of
things regarding the Yule-
tide, for along about this

ly children, let you know the
number of shopping days
left! We are not trying to
tell any man or woman their
business or to suggest how
they spend their money, but
If we know of a way they
can add to their own happi-
ness and state Of mind by
showing them where to
spend. we are not going to
pass up the opportunity. In
this case we want to suggest
that before you are tempted
10 answer mail-order ads that
offer something attractive for
Christmas, before you drive
to a nearby city to buy gifts,
first visit your home mer-
chants and see what they
have to offer you and If you
can't get it in stock, Let them
order it for you. You can
usually find what you want
in your own stores and you
are doing your duty as a

Must Be Additional
Taxation, or Reputation

Former President Hoover has had
much to say about the waste that
has been going on, and has coupled
those observations with the possibil-
tiles Of staggering burdens Of taxa
ton. So has Sen. Harry Byrd, DEM
ocrat, Of Virginia. Mr.. Hoover's
criticisms have been laughed off by
the administration here because Mr..
Hoover is a Republican. Senator
Byrd's jibes have been pooh-poohed
because he has insisted on sound
government and has been frequently
anti-New Deal. But Mr.. Hoover and
Senator Byrd each have stressed q
little noted phase of potentialities
inherent in the situation. They have
talked about moral codes.
Now, 1t appears, as ! said above,
there must be additional taxation to
meet these loans whether from the
federal government or from private
borrowers) or there must be repudi-
alton. Reputation is simply and
plainly a refusal to pay a debt. Re-
fusal to pay an honest debt makes
deadbeats.

Refusal to Alter Constitution
State Will Get No More Money From Federal Government
Possibilities of Staggering Burdens of Taxation
Pointed Out by Hoover and Byrd.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service. National Press Bldg, WASHINGTON D. C.

WASHINGTON. - The state Of
Georgia has q provision In its state
constitution that effectively prevents
an accumulation Of state debt. It Is
one Of the few states having such
q constitutional inhibition Of that
kind. But the fact that such q pro-
vision exists in Georgia suddenly
has become nomentous In the eyes
and minds Of the New Dealers,
headed by the President, himself.
Because it Is in the news, however,
Mr.. Roosevelt's criticism Of the pro-
vision forces a review Of the facts
and implications flowing from that
charter provision.
Mr.. Roosevelt said recently while
sojourning at Warm Springs, Ca,
as he does frequently, that Georgia
will get no more federal money.
His particular peeve at Georgia re-
suited from the fact that the state
has not amended its constitution to
permit 1t to borrow directly from
agencies of the federal government
as most other states have done
with federal money flowing Like
streams at food. The President was
disguised with Georgia's attitude;
hence, the federal government Is all
through with giving the state more
money.
OF course, it is only my opinion
the opinion Of only one observer
but It nevertheless strikes me that
In years to come, the citizens Of
many states will have cause to re-
greet the absence of such provisions
from their respective state constitu-
tons. It is only a question of time.
Politicians and over-zealous advo-
Gates Of improvements" and the
like have been rushing to the fed
-eral feed trough in droves, carrying
away checks. They have borrowed
billions from the national govern
ment; they have received grants or
gifts of other billions for the coun-
try as a whole on condition that
they put UP additional funds to
match or equal the federal gift, and
they, in consequence, now are load
ed down with debt. So, say there
will be cause for regret that so few
states have the same provision as
Georgia has when the time comes
for payment. There must be taxa
ton if the debts are paid, or there
must be that awful thing, repudia-
ton.

In the light of these facts, I want
10 make little prediction. ! am
going to predict that there win be
movements in many states within
10 years to have the federal govern
ment relinquish its claims against
those states: to have congress pass
legislation that win say to the states,
in effect, "Just tear up the papers
and we win tear up your notes and
bonds and forget about the whole
thing" Politicians Of the unsavory,
demagogic type win leap onto such
Q thought and shout from the house
tops Of every community in the state
that the federal government-that,
great and rich government
to forego collection. They win have
all kinds Of arguments why it ought
to be done, but their real reason
for doing so viii be to obtain votes
for their own election to office. They
win be saying to the people that It
viii not be reputation II the fed
eral government says it does not
desire to collect; yet, it is my con-
tention that such proceedings will
be thoroughly dishonest. It viii be
exactly the same as il the state had
said: won't pay.
President on Wrong Track
IN Lambasting Georgia
When Mr.. Roosevelt was giving
the people Of Georgia tongue-lash-
ing. therefore, believe he was on
the wrong track. He was lambast-
ing them for continuing to run their
affairs on a sound basis, for con-
tinuing to avoid subservience to the
national government, and for refus-
ing to surrender completely the
rights of a sovereign state. For, be
it known, there are very few easier
ways to force a state or county or
city or other subdivision of govern
ment to become "bossed" by the
national government than the way
that has been chosen-through the
use Of money. In fact, II seems
rather sour note In our national
policies to witness almost complete
subjugation Of states or lesser areas
by the use Of federal money when,
with another hand, the government
through the various propaganda
agencies or by legal action constant
ly threatens to send private persons
or corporations to Jail for seeking
selfish control for private gain. The
only difference that can see Is
that one is purely for monetary
gain in the case of private action,
while in the governmental situation,
the benefits are political from which
rascals or crooks eventually get
their graft.
Some Washington writer's, in con-
sidering the Presidents Warm
Springs outburst, attributed his
frame Of mind to the fact that Geor-
gas citizens Cor a majority of
them) refused to follow Mr.. Roose-
velt's demand for the defeat of Sen.
Walter George. You remember, Of
course, how Mr.. Roosevelt went into
Georgia and endorsed United States
Attorney Lawrence Camp for the
Democratic senatorial nomination.
It Is Of fresh recollection, too, how
he said that Senator George was old
fashioned-out dated-almost a one
boss shay.
