and feeling that new burdens of
taxation would be accepted with less
complaint during the present Europ-
can crisis than later on the decision
was reached few days ago to keep
Congress in session until new de-
fense taxes are levied and the pres
ent national debt limitation is lifted.
According to well advised sources,
the Administration program will be
as tpllows: First, lifting the debt
limitation from forty-five billion to
forty-eight billion dollars and the
issuance Of special national defense
boz ds fo,. the three billion dollar in
crease in the national debt. Second
the levying of new taxes to raise
approximately seven hundred million
dollars per year. presumably to be
used toward paying off the newly
issued bonds. Third, the formation
Of the National Defense Corporation,
with capital of two billion dollars
and the power to issue corporation
bonds for financing production of
military and naval equipment, with
out having the capital or bonds of
the Corporation considered as part
Of the national debt, although guar
anteed by the government.
lit Is rumored that the new tas
program will provide for a fiat 1C
per cent increase, or surtax, on al
income taxes; an increase of "

forty-five billion dollars. and proba-
bly, beyond the suggested new limi-
tation of forty eight billion dollars.
As the months pass there is a grave
likelihood that further heavy expen-
ditures will be found necessary il the
defense program is to be carried
forward as now planned, thus neces-
stating more and heavier Federal
taxes than those now being consid-
cred BY the Ways and Means Com
mittee. 1t seems absolutely certain
the the American people are in for
more centralization Of power in
Washington. for greater control by
government of the activities Of the
people, and for greater Indebtedness
and heavier tax burdens, than ever
experienced by the American people
in the past. All Of this fits in with
the declared objective of the New
Dealers Of Matchmaking business,
finance and industry, through the
Capitalization of supreme power in
the government itself.
While Congress- is giving almos'
unanimous support to the requests
of the President for emergency de-
tense funds, with the exception of
| his .sblank check request, there has
| been considerable criticism here
during the pas, week of the Fireside
Chat Of last Sunday evening. Many
| Congressional leaders have express
| ed the opinion that the President
/ was not entirely frank or fair with
the people when, in giving his re-
port on the condition of the Army
J and Navy, he gave only the number
of different defense weapons as on
hand and on order. 1t is the "on
| hand and on order phrase that is
| SO misleading. As one Legislator
pointed out: There is great deal
of difference between having gun
in your hand and the picture Of 4
gun in catalog when trouble
comes, Mr.. Roosevelt talked OF
the Army having nearly twelve hun
dred tanks ION hand and on order,
but failed to tell the people frankly
that today the Army only has twen-
ty-eigth smaller tanks altogether,
and thai the balance of the tanks
mentioned are only ION order The
same is true as to antiaircraft guns
| Only small proportion of the mum,
ber mentioned by the President ar
actually in the hands of the Arm!
the others are con order. 81
goes the story as to automatic rifles
mobile artillery; fighting and bomb
ing planes; and other needed de
fensive weapons. American soldiers
and sailors can only fight with th'
weapons that are actually manufac
tured and in their hands--not thos'
ION order" The truth is, our ma
tional defense has been sadly ne
elected and it will take many months
before American industry can furn
! ish needed implements of warfar'
and men can be trained to use them
so as to guarantee our safety
However, it is believed by most OBJ
J servers that if any real threat is +
come to the safety Of this country

The Fundamental Difference

RECENTLY audiences throughout America had an
excellent opportunity to compare the campaign
platforms OF the two candidates. The president
spoke in Philadelphia and was Immediately followed
on the air by Wendell Willkie from New York
We do not refer to the speaking abilities of the two
men, President Roosevelt is generally acknowledged
to be without apeer as radio speaker
Rather we have in mind the comparative logical
ness and soundness Of their appeals for the votes of
the electorate; the impression which each in his
talk would make upon the minds of thoughtful and
unbiased citizens
Again we think Mr. Willkie would suffer bv COM
parison. The presidents statements are distin-
gulshed by their adherence to fundamentals Thew
are basic
One gets the impression in listening to Mr. Willkie
that his arguments those of rival candidate des
peratey seeking to find flaws in the position of his
adversary. clever debater can always criticize his
opponents record, especially if it is one marked by
bold attack on difficult and complex problems If
the result is not assaiable the method by which it
was obtained is always subject to criticism
Ihls MIR. Wlkie does consistently and repeatedly
lie does not find it to be politically expedient to de-
nounce the broad program of social and economic
reforms of the Roosevelt administration. So he
attacks the method in which they were brought about
and the manner in which they have been administer
ed He accepts the principle but objects to it's de-
tails.
Mr.. Wilkes platform speeches have been char
acterzed by spirit of carpng criticism of the pres
1dent and his ways. They lack constructives They
depend for their effectiveness upon sort of wise
cracking which, while it may bring the laughs is
far from being convincing.
In short, the impression created is that Roosevelt
is a statesman and Willkie is politician

each Of these individuals had re-
ceived from the Democratic party
before they flopped out of the
party to go home
Mr. Bowman, also charged that
"the only reason Lewis Douglas
and Mrs. Isabella Ferguson Green
way King call themselves Demo-
Gratis is because their financial in
terests are in Arizona and Arizona
is Democratic state"
In addition to advocating re-
election of President Roosevelt, Mr.
Bowman praised the candidates on
the state Democratic ticket. He
predicted that Sidney P. Osborn,
nominee for governor, will give
Arizona one cf the finest admin
istrations it has ever had"

man, introduced Mr.. Bowman.

B. (HD Sorrells, nominee for
supervisor in District No. 2 has

Never before has there been such
small number Of Republican coun-
ty candidates. This is probably
due to the fact that the registra-

Willkiie' S Misstatements


WE are enough to the finish of this political
" campaign to survey in retrospect.
1t is doubtful if any national election ever produc-
ed so gross total of misstatements, contradictory
statements and plain inventions as the Wilke can
didacy has brought FORTH It may be that the can
didae, to rules Of national politics, simply took
what was handed to him and promulgated it in good
faith. Evidently knowing nothing about it, for ex-
ample, he came out with an explicit charge that be-
cause of governmental inefficiency, conscrpted
by the draft would for lack of shelter in the winter
months be periled from sickness and Influenza. The
object of such declaration was obvious-it was to
alarm the mothers and wives Of the boys going into
service, with the hope that it would prejudice them
against the Democrats condidate But the next day
the Republican Secretary of War explained that bar
rack building ahead of the enrolment and so
drafted man would be exposed to the imaginary hard
ships and dangers Mr.. Willkie set forth.
The minority party candidate never corrected his
statement His policy has been right along to stick
to his statements.
Once he proclaimed with variations that employ
ment insurance was deluson and snare 'Your
social security does you good" he told his audi
ence at Pittsburgh, "f you are paying into govern
ment that will not at the rate it is spendng be able
to pay you back
Confronted with the figures showing that already
three billion dollars had been paid out by the Govern
nent in employment insurance, oldage PENSIONS etc.,
he made correction explanation.
That Sale "Down the River"
He specifically charged President Roosevelt with
having telephoned the totalitarian Chiefs and
suit of these conversations had "sold CzechoSlova-
ka down the river" Somebody must have told him
that there had been such telephoning so he per
mitted his pressagent to say that he had "misspok
en-" Nevertheless he repeated the absurd charge
in slightly varied forms in subsequent speeches.
The Republican candidate sees nothing ahead but
bankruptcy, chaos, and the wreck of the whole Anne
rican system if Roosevelt is reelected. He is dire
in his prophecies as was Herbert Hoover when he
ho thp White
House and the evil Democrats tampered with the
sacred Smoot-Hawley tariff, grass would grow in
our city Streets That was eight years ago and it
hasn't yet been necessary to erect keepoff hegrass
signs in Wall Street, the corresponding thorough
fares in other great cities
Mr. Willkie sees even worse ahead If President
Roosevelt continues in the presidency the future of
fers restriction and limitation to the clergy and to
the preachments of individual religions, and offers
little hope for the freedom Of the press and of ex
preston" And he added: "It is as inevitable if you
continue to go down that road, that the will
rise in Springfield tomorrow morning.
Isn't that marvellous picture Of what will ensue if
our church-gong, humanitarian President continues

Isabella Where She Belongs

ISABELLA FERGUSON GREENWAY KING -
often referred to as "The Sweetheart of Arizona,
has bolted the Democratic party in favor Of Wen
dell WilIkie
She has declared against her old friend Franklin
ID. Roosevelt giving her that she is against
a third term
we believe that the real reason she has flopped is
that at heart she is Republican and was such even
in the days when the Democrats of Arizona sent her
to Washington as Congresswoman.
Isabella is right where she belongs now = i'll the
Republican ranks
She will not swing many votes to the Republican
column. for the great majority of the common peo-
pie know she is lined up with Big Business and Big
Business is for Wendell Willkie
Each crack that Isabella takes at FDR is a
boost for the greatest humanitarian in history.
