Explanation of Hatch Act!

mere membership was not ban
ned. It was believed, however, that
office-holding or extensive activity
in such organization probably would
come under the bills prohibition.
Q-Will the act bar from politics
persons who get loans from the
RFC or the Farm Credit Admins
tration or other federal agencies?
A-No.
GLOW about Farmers who are
paid by the AAA and persons draw
ing social security benefits?
A-They are not affected, either,
nor are pensioned war veterans or
other retired government employees.
Q-Suppose some candidate for
congress attacks a federal official
or his policies during the course
of a political campaigns the Of
fetal allowed to reply to the
charge?
A-This is expected to be a point
of conflict under the act because
of possibility of differing interpre-
tations. President Roosevelt stat
ed his view that any federal work
er was entitled to defend himself
IF they or the work with which
they are concerned is attacked and
misrepresented in a political cam
paign or preliminary thereto"
Q-May federal employees express
their opinions freely on political
questions?
Ayes, so long as they do not
campaign in behalf of a candidate.
Q-What is the penalty for vio-
lating the act?
A-Coercion or intimidation of
voters, solicitation of campaign
funds of federal employees, offering
of jobs in return for political fav-
ors, discrimination for political
causes, or revealing lists of WPA
or relief workers to politicians are
subject to a fine of $1,000 and a
years Imprisonment. Political act
ivity by covered employees is cause
for dismissal.

in for grade determination. After
that has been secured one trip is
necessary to the county office to
sign the necessary loan papers.
Wheat growers in Stearns county
contemplating the planting Of win
ter wheat in the fall of 1889 are
urged to contact their community
committeeman on the agricultural
conservation program, according to
the county agents office, st. Cloud.
The object in making their request
is that in order to become eligible
for price adjustment payments on
wheat, and crop insurance in 1910,
it is necessary for the county office
to have the information as to who
is growing winter wheat and the
acreage he contemplates growing.
Needless to say not all wheat grow
ers will want to carry crop insur-
ance on wheat. However, every
wheat grower with a wheat allot-
ment should take advantage of the
price adjustment payment. There
tore, it is important that the COM
munity committeeman know who
will be planting winter wheat in
the fall of 1889. A little later then
the community committeeman will
contact the growers of winter wheat
to sign two necessary forms in con-
nection with the two programs just
mentioned. If crop insurance is
not desired, then just the price ad-
justment form will be signed.

Q-Does it apply to state cleo

A-No. Congress has no author

COMMENT
CAN THEY PULL 1T
IN OKLAHOMA
From Our EXCHANGES
BY BILL HOGE
Editor Oologah OoZings


1t has always been somewhat
against the Oozings policy to enter
into political, religious or any con-
troversial matters of the nation but
it almost makes our American blood
boil to hear about 10000 alien Ger
man "Bund" members parading in
New York, carrying a German Nazi
flag and passing by a Veterans
hospital where disabled soldiers of
the A. E. F. who have neither arms
nor legs are forced to witness such
an un-American procession. What
in thunderation is this country
thinking of to permit such goings
on?
They plan to pull this same stunt
in Tulsa soon, we are told. Can
they get by with this in Oklahoma?
We think that TREASON should
be more clearly defined and all
violators vigorously prosecuted!
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll was gull
ty Of treason If anybody ever was.
Just suppose some Americans liv-
ing in Germany should attempt
something Of this kind. What would
happen to them? They would be
blasted into eternity at the wink
Of an eye.
Our form Of government might
stand a little improvements but we
are all willing, hope, to fight to
prevent changing the form of it.
If any Of these alien minded folks
in this country don't like our gov
eminent they have our whole heart
ed permission to go to one they do
like.
We would like to see some go to
Russia, some to Germany and Italy,
etc. We like this one better than
any on earth, and we'd rather die
than see 1t changed!

Q-What is the chief purpose OF
the Hatch act?
A-To take out of politics and
political activity the thousands OF
run-of-the-mill federal workers,
WPA workers and protect recip-
tents of federal benefits against
political coercion.
Q-Does it have any other pur-
pose?
Ayes. It is intended to end
all forms Of coercion or intimidation
from any source whatsoever in con-
nection with primary and final cleo
lions of congressman, senators and
presidents.
Q-How many persons does it af-
feet?
A-The ban on politics affects
some 100000 federal workers not
already barred from politics by
civil service rules as well as all
persons on WPA. Protection against
any form of political coercion is
given all voters and specifically
recipients of federal benefits such
as AAA or social security payments.
els anyone in the federal gov.
eminent exempt from the bill?
Ayes. The ban on politics and
governmental activity does not ap-
ply to the President, members OF
his cabinet and staff, heads of exc
cutive departments and their as
sistants, and diplomats and policy
making officials nominated by the
President and confirmed by the
senate.
Q-Does that mean that the Pres
ident and other exempt officials
may try to coerce federal workers
to vote the way they want?
A-No. Coercion, threats or in
timidation from any source what
soever is absolutely banned. The
exemption merely means that the
President and other high officials
may continue to make political
speeches, organize election cam
paigns and carry on routine politi-
cal activity.

way, by finding a man whom we
can trust and from whom we can
buy all the many things we need
to make our lives more interesting
and complete.
Advertising is the news Of busi-
ness. Often that news is of far more
importance to us than any other
news in the paper.
For example, If a woman needs
new coat and scans the advertise
ments to see what Is being offered,
the business news she reads is Of
far greater moment in her life right
then than the story on page one Of
war in Asia Minor or Of an oil
field fire in Texas.
Stripped of all glamor and mys-
terry advertising amounts to nothing
more exciting than this: telling peo-
pie of a place where they can get
what they need to make life posi-
BILE or endurable or lively or en-
joyable at the most satisfactory and
economical basis.
The advertiser who keeps telling
the story Of his advantages natural
ly gets the bulk Of the trade, be-
cause. as you have just learned, we
all forget rapidly and must be re-
minded continually II we are to act.
When advertising is carried on for
a long enough time. the name Of the
man and his product become a part
of the daily life Of millions Of house
holds, respected, revered things and
names, almost as close to us as
friends or members of our own fam
lily.

Panama Canal Zone

The Panama canal was built by
the u. S. and is owned and con-
trolled by this country. Both Amer
lean and foreign vessels using 1t pay
tolls for the privilege. The United
States by treaty with the republic
of Panama has a perpetual lease
Of the Canal Zone and has exclusive
control of it. According to the
terms Of the Hay-Pauncefort treaty
Of 1901, which prepared the way for
its construction, the canal "shall be
free and open to the vessels Of COM
merce and Of war Of all nations OBJ
serving these rules, on terms Of
entire equality" The treaty stipu-
lates that a belligerent's war ves-
sells may have transit through the
canal with the least possible delay
and without taking on stores or
troops. Panama has no right to
take possession of the canal and is
not likely to undertake to gain it by
force.

Ice Treatment for Dam

A giant artificial ice pack clapped
onto 200, 000-cubic yard earth slide
in the excavation area Of the Grand
Coulee dam, stopped the slide and
saved the government over 500, 900.
When the dam, the largest in the
world, commenced its unanticipat-
ed, menacing activity, federal engi-
neers met the emergency by bril-
liant scientific measures. Experts
of the bureau of reclamation of the
department Of the interior froze the
earth's surface, as surgeon some
times freezes flesh during treat
ment. They were thus successful in
immobilizing the loosened, pulver-
lied earth, and rendered harmless
the underlying rock, as well.
