Election of Roosevelt
May Create Dictatorship.

I say "No." And whether I
stand alone, or whether l am
sustained, as I think 1 will be
by the overwhelming number of
American citizens, l should re-
tain these convictions. 1t is time
for the manhood and the woman
hood of America to assert them
selves. Tomorrow may be too
late.
If President Roosevelt is re-
established in Office in the forth
coming election he will answer
to no man. including the Con-
gress. for his executive acts that
may create a dictatorship in this
land. This election may be his
torically comparable TO the con-
trolled elections and plebiscites
of some of the nations of the
Old World. I ask my country
men TO pause briefly and think
deeply before the die is cast
on this grave issue
On January "a, 1910, at Colum-
bus. Ohio. in a public address, l
said in part. as follows:
In 1886 a coalition was Ell
fectpd between the Democratic
party and organized labor. The
resources of both interests were
pOOled-the objective being the
return of the party to power IN
the election of the same year.
ORGANIZED labor furnished money,
speakers, party workers IN every
political subdivision and many
millions of votes 1t substantially
financed the national committee,
various State committees. con-
eressional committees, Labor S
Non-Partisan League. the Amerl-
can Labor Party, the Progressive
National Committee and the
Good Neighbor League. Psy-
chologically and politically, Or
ganized labor created the at
mosphere of success that re-
turned the Democratic party to
power with an ample margin OF
safety.
"A political coalition at least
presupposes a post-electlon GOOD
faith between the coaleScent
interests. The Democratic party
and its leadership have not pre-
served this faith. In the last three
wears labor has not been given
representation in the cabinet.
nor in the administrative or
policv-making agencies Of Gov
.errment. The current adminls-
tration has not sought nor serl-
ouslv entertained the advice or
views of labor upon the question
of national unemployment or
lesser questions affecting domes-
tic economy, internal taxation,
foreign trade, military and naval
expansion. relations with foreign
nations or the issues of war or
peace. Labor today has no point
of contact with the Democratic
administration in power. except
for casual and occasional inter-
views which are granted its lndi-
vidual leaders. In the Congress
the unrestrained batting and de-
flaming of labor by the Demo-
cratic majority has become
pastime. never subject to rebuke
by the titular or actual leaders
of the party.

mend the election of Wendell L.
Willkie as the next President of
the United States.
He is a gallant American. He
has opened his heart to the
American people. He is not an
aristocrat. He has the common
touch. He was born in the briar
and not to the purple. He has
worked with his hands. and has
known the pangs of hunger. He
has had experience in various
fields of American enterprise. and
is an administrator and an eX-
ecutive.
Some sources have suggested
that I should withhold my sup
port of Mr. Willkie because
Messrs. Grace. Girdler and Weir
were allegedly supporting him.
This is a specious reasoning One
could as well suggest that the
communicates of a particular
faith should leave their church
because of the presence of a
hypocrite in their midst.
Aside from this. these gentle
men must possess some virtue.
because President Roosevelt has
awarded them many fat and lu-
crative Government contracts, at
the expense of the public purse.
l may also add in passing. that
it is a reasonable hope that these
gentlemen. acting in their COR
porate capacities, Will soon exc

Wendell Willkie has said that
he Will put the unemployed to

 Lost On Fifth Fortune
 Livermore had hoped to make a fifth fortune, but had failed. He began his career when 16 years old and ran $1O into millions. His first fortune was made in 1907 during the rich mans panic" in a copper boom. Two years later he lost those three millions when he attempted to corner the cotton market. He was forced to sell his yacht and the jewelry of his first wife. In 1912, he re-entered the market with a borrowed stake and made 8 fortune in cotton. This one lasted two years.
 He made his third fortune during the World War years and his name was involved in a congressional con1- mittee investigation of the 'leak" about President Wilson's peace note of 1918. He sold 80,000 shares of stock short before publication of the note and made $1,000,000.

The Livermore name was in the head lines that year, however, when the second Mrs. Livernlore shot and wounded Jessie Livermore, Jr., in Santa Barbara, Cal, in an argu- ment over drinking.
 The first Mrs. Livernore was the former Nettie Jordan. They were divorced in 1917 and Livermore im- mediately married Dorothea Fox Wendt of New York. Two sons, Jessie, Jr., and Paul, were born to them. The third Mrs. Livermore was the former Omaha, Neb., con- cert singer, widow of Arthur Warren Nobel, who hanged himself in 1880.

Other local plants are expected to follow the example of the Chase Brass & Copper Go. in returning to the old practice of paying em- ployes ncash. In recent years, pay ments at most local plants have been made by check.
 Chase officials said the change was being made for the convenience of employees, many of whom have complained about delay and diff ficultly in cashing pay checks.

struggle To that extent the question of finance isl secondary since the necessary funds will always1 somehow be found Yet the way this is done and the manner in which production is increased and consumption reduced will make great deal of diff ference to the nation and it's future.
 War costs may be met from taxation, by loans out of savings by inflation-itSelf form of high ly negotiable taxation At the same time the requl- site reduction of private consumption and the ac companying release of productive resources for war purposes may be brought about by the rationing of goods or by such levies-taxes loans-on individual incomes as will cut down private spending on such goods In the absence of such measures, the com petition of the government and the civil population for limited total supply of goods is certain to result in serious price imitation, such as marked recent developments in Japan.
 Probably the most thoroughgoing British pro gram for meeting these various problems-at bottom different aspects of single problem-is that of the economist John Maynard Keynes Put forward ori- gnally in the earlier months of the war, it found public opinion unprepared for its radical proposals Since then, public understanding has greatly pro- gressed both to the extent of the economic effort the nation must make to win the war and as to the possible alternative methods by which this may be done at the time there has been growing dis satisfaction with the lack evidence of definite
  published revised edition of his original proposal which seems likely to receive more serious consid- eration
 His original basic means for reducing private consumption and at the time raising funds for war costs is retained although it's is changed from compulsory savings" to deferred pay This is a combined tax-and-oan levy on all incomes above 45 shillings week for single and 55 shilngs for married men. The tax portion is virtually an addition to the income tax while the loan part is compulsory loan drawing low rate of interest and not repayable until after the war To protect large families this would be coupled with weekly family allowance of shillings per child. At the same tnc an iron ration" is proposed-a limited list of nece5- saries on which the Government will attempt to keep prices artfcialy low, indeed 1t is already doing to some extent capital levy after the war is also included.
 The essence of the problem is simple enough the curtailment of private consumption and the dl- version of private income to the Governments needs in the manner least objectionable to those who must carry the burden and with the least disturbance to accepted economic practices. Whether the Keynes plan will be adopted in part in whole cannot of course be foretold. But the alternatives to some such program are clearly either imitation or else wholesale regimentaton after the otalitarian model

RESTORING THE SALMON

Whether a great salmon supply once depicted can be restored by mans efforts will be demonstrated within the next decade on the Fraser River where the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commis- sion has it's scientific men al work on the problem.
 In 1913 the Fraser River run yielded pack of 25oo6Oo cases of choice sockeye The pack has dwindled to 100000 year Under treaty signed in 1887 the United States and Great Britain are attempting to build the Tun up again.
 The recent meeting of the Commission at Wash ngton studied g report of Dr. w, F. Thompson, who so successfully headed the work of restoring the similarly threatened halibut fishery Out of the thorough scientific study which Dr Thompson and his staff are making it is hoped that solution will be found
 The Commission takes much heart from the re- suits of the halibut restoration effort once in the last stages ol depletion this fishery has been re- stored to what is approaching normacy through the work of the International Fisheries Commission. Such restoration is the fruit of many years labor.
 warning of another danger which may nullify the great work with the fisheries was sounded at the Washington meeting by Edward W. Allen member of both Commissions He says that if the Japanese are permitted to fish off the American coast even though they remain three miles off shore, it is possible both physically and economically that any accomplishment Of this Commission might be for nothing"
 MT Allen and other members of the two Com missions have done wonders for the fishing industry of the Pacific Coast We wish them in their further effort to restore the Fraser River sock eye and to keep American fish out of oriental nets.

FREIGHT CARS NOW "5EIzED"
 BY REICHLAND
Rolling Stock of Neighbors Kept, Pressed Info
 Speed Service

BRUSSELS. April 23.-Germany found an ingenious way to solve her shortage of freight cars, at the ex- pense of her neighbors. Whenever a car of any foreign rolling stock cross es her borders, from now on she will run it twice as fast as it's ordin- ary speed.
 The Nazis did not keep up their railroads, because they expected to use their newly built auto roads for the growing traffic When the war began however the shortage of gaso- line forced them to fall back on their neglected railroads.
 The Nazis first tried to remedy this deficiency by not returning the thousands of freight cars which came over their borders from Hungary Holland, Yugoslavia and other neighbor countries. Only when these little nieghbors backed up their pro- tests by stopping their exports to SCl diOOSCJllCl, OilC fSACNil return the borrowed rolling stock
 For a while the little neighbors were satisfied. But from now on il looks as if they will find many o1 their cars coming back in unservice- able and broken down condition.
 What has happened is that Ger many figures that she can run many of the borrowed cars at twice theil usual speed. Although they were made to stand only speeds of iron 10 to 20 miles per hour, Germany will now push them over the rail at 30 and 40 miles an hour.
 For Germany the result will be tn, same as if she had kept the car twice as long as agreed. For he neighbors it will mean ruined axles and worn brakes Hundreds of car direct to the repair shop after the. will undoubtedly have to be sen come back across the border iron the Reich.
