BONUS LEADER
DEAD ON COAST

Word of the death of Roy w.
Robertson, pictureque leader in
the bonus army which invaded the
Capital in 1882, was received here
today from Cedars of Lebanon
Hospital, Hollywood, Calf.
known as the man with the
broken neck" Robertson led the
famous death march" around
the Capitol in the summer of 1882.
Robertson had seen service in the
Navy during the World War and
suffered a fractured neck in a
fall from a hammock and wore
a harness-like brace to support his
head.
Leader of a Western delegation
of the bonus army, Robertson split
with the army commander, Walter
w. Walters, during the "Siege of
Washington" and organized the
death march" at the Capitol. He
vowed that the 5000 men, who
circled the building, would march
until they dropped in their tracks
or until the bonus bill was passed.
On several occasions police and
even Marines were called out to
break up the march.
When troops were called out by
former President Hoover to dis
perse the bonus army, Robertson
went back to California, only to
reappear again a few years later
in the Capital with news that he
was organizing another bonus
The other march never
materialized and the bonus bill
passage finally put an end to the
demonstrations.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WOULD INCREASE FEDERAL POWER

Representatives of more than fifty different IN
dustries and of agriculture agreed at New orleans
that the federal wage-hour legislation before con
gress should be opposed aggressvely
There was 'unaninious decision by the delegates
to continue opposition the ground that the nilS
now before congress in reality were not wage blls'
but rather We're subterfuge measures designed, to
give the federal government arbitrary control over
the nations industry and labor for political ex-
pediency."
In the language of the chairman of the confer
enee; eve are sitting on the edge of an earthquake
right now and action against the bill must be
prompt and vigorous" A large number of mar
ginal industries, which just now are struggling TO
keep operating, would be put out of business,
throwing thousands of workers out of jobs, II this
legislation is enacted In his opinion. of the TO-
O00sawmills in the South, 'tat least $500 of them
could not operate under the federal wage-hour
bills proposed" ........
The wage-hour bill is, political 1t is stepped in

for the South. President Roosevelt virtually said
so in his letter from Charleston to Mrs. Norton,
member of congress. Pressure has been and is be-
ing put upon members of congress to vote as the
president wishes, not as their section needs. The
spending policies authorized by congress give the
White House sweeping powers over the electorate
Notwithstanding the claims that there is politics
in grants, gifts and alotments.
If the wage-hour bill should become law, the
South would be punished 1t is nothing new to
penalze the South Its states have been treated as
tributary provinces since Appomattox and they are
treated tributary provinces now. What care
politicians of the East and the Middle West about
conditions in Southern industry? Their selfish in

WOES OF THE FARM BILL

The recently enacted, and now operative federal
farm measure, started off with huge bang but
like most farm benefit legislation it has already
encountered some unhappy situations, Updoubted-
ly there is considerable dissatisfaction among the
cotton farmers of the South at the manner in
which the act really is working out
But it is perhaps from those hit hardest in the
operation of the new law that least is heard. Land
owners have been quick to voice their diSapproval
if adversely affected by the law, despite the refer
endum taken upon its application. .....
But from that voiceless class, the tenant farm
ers of the South, not much has been heard Yet
we in Cleveland county are on the verge of bad
situation because of the adverse results of the act
upon the tenant class. From the department of
welfare in Cleveland county, it has been learned
that tenant farmers, displaced from the land be-
cause of the farm act are providing constantly
growing problem. They are forced from the land
they have cultivated heretofore because the farm
ing landowners say they cannot keep them under
curtailed crop acreage. These tenants have no.
where to go. What is true in Cleveland county, is
true elsewhere in this region and is true through
out the cotton belt. These tenants have been
brought up on the land. They know no other life.
They have no other training. They are not skilled
nor are they proficient in any other manner Of
living. ~ H.. .....
Little blame can be attached to landowners who
operate their own farms for this condition Ger
tainly it is reasonable that if farmer had dozen
tenant families on $50 or 200, acres of cotton land
last year, and his acreage is cut TO rs acres or
below this year, he has not the. need of all the
labor he used last year, Cotton production Utilities
more actual labor on the farms of this country
perhaps than any other>cro With the reduction
of the crop comes the natural curtailment of labor
Where are these people to go but to relief Of
fees? Certainly they should not be put on relief
except as last resort, But when there is no mar
ket for farm labor, that last resort is, reached
1t seems there is little else to do. There is little
wonder through the complexities of legislation,
through the operation of widely. different laws de-
signed to achieve widely separated ends, that the
relief rolls continue to grow ing America'-shelby

cuse in the early days for not
standing for Christian principles, y
declared an ecclesiastical speaker
recently, ''for in those times one
was subject to persecution for his
Christian creed; but today things
are different"
They are, eh?-Yes, in a way
they are different. Today any
person can proclaim that God is
love and that there is no God eX-
cept our God, and that Christ is
the savior of the world, and moth
ing will be done to him; but let
him come out publicly sometimes
even privately and assert that
some man Of power, or some
group of power, or some institu-
ton of power is not motivated by
Christian principles and see
whether or not he gets persecut-
ed. The only reason the early
Christian martyrs were persecut-
ed was that what they said inter-
fered with somebody's business.
