Prosecutor Johnston.
3-A third course of action
open to Brandenburg would
have been to "sit tight" in which
event his name could only legal
ly have been entered on the
county treasurer's ballot mas
much as the law gives preference
to the post for which petitions
have been filed. Therefore he
would not appear as a candidate
for the more attractive post nj
audit0r-general.
MAKES CHOICE
In telegram to Clerk Brown
this morning, despatched from
Marquette, Mich, Brandenburg
set forth that he has elected to
run for the office of auditor-gen-
eral. He said confirmation of
his decision would arrive in the
mails.
While Brandenburg's name
has already been ordered printed
on the county ballot Brown said
today that actual production Of
the ballots has not begun and
that, before the day is over, he
will have arrived at a definite
determination as to whether he
should order the name stricken
out; in which event blank op-
posite the space allotted to Coun-
ty Treasurer in the Democratic
column would leave the Demo-
Gratis with the sole alternative of
offering some as yet unknown
sticker- candidate for the office.
William G. Miller, Van Dyke
justice of the peace, is the Re-
publican candidate for election
as county treasurer.
Meantime the Democratic
County Committee was under
stood to be meeting this after
noon to name candidate to
supplant Brandenburg on the
county ticket for treasurer.
Asked what he would do con-
corning printing of any candi-
dates name in the Democratic
| u m n for auditor-general,
Clerk Brown said:
1.-THE prosecuting attorney and
the attorney general have ruled
that THE county committee of
Brandenburg's party is author
lied to fill vacancies on the
county ticket only when they are
caused by either removal of the
candidate from the county or his
becoming physically unfit"
Neither of these circumstances
apply to the Brandenburg case
ard, undoubtedly, I shall have
to have the ballots printed with
out any name appearing as
Democratic candidate for the Of
flee of county treasurer.

fore he breaks up the leftover
bodies.
BREAKS EN- UP
Because the profit on salvaged
spare parts is higher than 1t is
on scrap steel, he has more in
centive to 60 out and buy old
cars than has the ordinary junk
dealer, whose income comes
from the less profitable tscrap.
The graveyard operator buys
his cars from second hand deal
ers or insurance companies
which have taken the remains
of smash-ups. After salvaging
such spare parts as he can, he
burns the upholstery and other
non-salvagable materials from
inside the body. He then cuts
off the tenders and body, breaks
them up in sizes small enough
for the scrap dealer to handle,
and sells them for scrap.
You can get an idea of how
quick the auto graveyard turn
over is from these figures:
At the end of March, 1912,
there were a million and a half
cars in the $4,000 auto grave
yards spattered across h e
American countryside. F o u r
months later there were only
100000 there. And in this time
a total of over two million cars
had been processed-made into
scrap.
MILLIONS TO COME
Figure that an average car
weighs about 1900 pounds as
scrap, and you'll see just how
important an auto graveyard is
in the production of this vital
metal.
The War Production Board
estimates that there are now on
the roads of America some six
million candidates for auto
graveyards. If patriotic Amer
leans sell these jaloppies to
graveyards at a rate of 100000
month, the auto graveyards
will supply 20 per cent of the
total iron and steel scrap that
u. S. mills need next year.
Don't sell your car il it's
transportation" says Merrill
Merrill Stubs, head of the WIPE
auto graveyard section. But re-
member that in a war economy
a car is either transportation OF
is scrap. If it is scrap, sell it as
such-and at scrap prices"

War" Is q sign the students now
can understand. You remember
those silver stars they use in
school to devote excellence for
this or that? Well. the Grant
School youngsters bring their
scrap to school and they get a
star after their name on the
blackboard for deliveries of
scrap rags, scrap iron, and the
purchases of War Stamps. They
may be stars, but they're medals,
too. Given for performance of
their duty to the limit of their
ability, and that's all soldiers can
do.
In the "a grade, they've taken
their monthly song and fitted
the music to new words. The
original song was entitled sep
tember," but the words put it in
tn, scrap drive. Here they are:
Scrap drive Is on
And old rubber too
Heap up your cart
With old tin cans too.
Help lick the Japs
And Hitler, too
Victory will como
For red, white and blue.
It doesn't equal the Marseil-
laise, of course, but we'll bet
that homely little ditty is doing
more good for the war effort
here than all the Tin Pan Alley
live and Utter syncCpation that
exploits the worlds agony.
They're carrying the same
spirit over in all the III schools
participating in the campaign.
Mount Clemens stu d ents,
among the 00,000,00O Michigan
school pupils participating in
the two-week campaign for
scrap metal, today had piled up
heaps of salvaged scrap iron and
tin cans at city schools, aiding
their nations war effort and
contesting for a banner to be
awarded the school collecting
the greatest amount of tin this
week. The Civilian Defense Sal
wage Banner will be four by six
feet in size.
Local residents are urged to
aid the students by notifying
them of scrap tin, properly pre-
pared, which they will pick up
and transport to the scrap piles
of their schools. Mrs. Paul w.
Mckee, chairman of the Mount
Clemens Salvage committee, ex-
planned that tin cans, to be
properly prepared for pick-ups,
must have the labels removed,
must be clean, and must have
the ends cut off and tucked in
side the flattencd can.
All schools in the city are par
ticipating, including public, pa
rochial, and Lutheran schools.
Residents may deliver their
own scrap to the schools If they
wish, Mrs. Mckee said, leaving
their contribution on the steps Of
any school in the city.

We see where London newspaper is criticizng
Lady Nancy Astor, American-born member of the
House OF Commons because she declared that "the
Russians are not fighting for u.s. they fighting for
themselves"
Lady Astor is eminently correct and it is impor-
tant for all peoples to keep this matter straight The
Russians like the British Americans and Chinese are
fighting for themselves. If they are not they have no
business in the war.
The United States is in the war to defend the
United States and the rights of Americans We are
not in the to fight for" the Russians the British
or the Chinese Neither fighting for the Nor
wegians, Belgians the Greeks the Poles.
The confusion arises from the popular use of the
phrase that the Chinese, the Russians the Brit
ish, are fighting for in the that so long as
they continue their resistance they contribute to the
successful conclusion of aims.
Germany attacked Russia and the Russians fight
killing many Germans. This works to our advantage
but the Russians fighting for Russia. They are
struggling to retain their country and to avoid serf-
dom.
tackled Pearl Harbor and Germany and Italy declared
upon this country. In other words, we fight in
sefdefense, after brutal attack, instigated by an
alliance of Axis powers.
which lead the United States to take offensive
action, far from the United States against Germany,
Italy and Japan Our offensive springs from the neces
and permit foes to gain sufficient strength to at
tack us at their convenience.
The soldiers that send to Australia, to Africa
to Great Britain and to other places sent to fight
IN defense OF the United States They not abroad
to fight for other peoples. Just as we fight for our
selves, the Russians fight for themselves and this is
exactly as it should be-
The same observation applies to our enemies,
Germany and Japan Both reap certain advantages be-
of the belgerency of the other but each nation
is fighting for its detectives. Neither the Japa-
nese in the Far East the Germans in Europe, are
fighting for the benefit of their ally, although both
realize the great stragetic gains that to each
from the activities of the other.

ty OF money in existence now to nav
war expenditures and avoid the fatal
error OF borrowing from the banks.
The difficulty now is that the dol
lars which are the most dangerous
in bidding up prices and causing in
tiation are the dollars in the pay en-
velopes of the workers of industry.
And these dollars are not, as far as
we can estimate, the dollars that are
buying bonds.
And another thing. The taxes
don't reach these dollars, either.
What we may as well realize is
coming. though not coming as soon
as it should, is: One. compulsory
savings although we won't use that
unpleasant word compulsory. It will
probably be a requirement to buy
bonds not redeemable until after the
war and so staggered, that they
won't all hit the treasury at once.
Two. a smaller tax exemption so
that we will get the loose dollars
from the lower income brackets.
There are more Of those dollars to
get.
Three, there will have to be
some leniency for the fixed salary
man who is already saving; the av.
erage middle class that puts money
into savings regularly in the form
OF mortgages on homes or farms or
plants. money into life insurance pol
icies. money into pension plans. That
is savings. it is not creating infia-
ton. But that man with the high
taxation those in his income brack.
cts have to pay has to 60 to the
bank and take the money from the
savings which he has there to turn
1t over to the government.
Canada has faced this problem
The United States will have to. War
production is ahead Of schedule, fis-
cal thinking is tagging behind"
We can see, a year after Mr.. &c.
cles said so. that price ceilings are
not enough" Increased costs are
such that the packers, as the cam
ners before them, have announced
that they just won't stay in business
II they have to operate at a loss.
The price of the finished product
has ceiling but the raw materials
and wages have no ceilings. Some
body has to co~~"' hose dollars.

Initiation Worse Than Taxes

Initiation is heavy taxation, without the govern
ment getting the benefit of the increased prices that
consumers must pay for what they buy.
For example, there has been moderate initiation
In the cost of living during the past twelve months
amounting to 10 per cent increase This means that
per cent.
There are many of who oppose the sales tax
as levy upon those least able to pay but, as the
New York Times points out ten per cent increase
in the cost of living amounts to ten per cent sales
tax.
During the first World War the cost of living
more than doubled which was equivalent to a fifty
per cent sales tax striking heavily at those least able
to bear the increase. 1t will be profitable for us to
avoid repetition of this experience.

One-Third of the Way

Today we have a tax bill which
stands, seven months after Pearl
Harbor, as incapable of meeting the
exigencies of war as Manila or
Singapore were.
II is true that expenses have shot
up more rapidly than was expected
talthough many say this should have
been foreseen). And now we are
lucky if we can pay one-third of
our way. Daniel Bell, undersecre-
tary of the treasury. said that "a bill
lion dollars of the national expendi.
ture would be handled with borrow
ing mot all from the banks) this
year. Secretary Morgenthau had re-
fused to answer a question on that
point in the senate committee hear
ings when Senator Taft put it to
him, but turned it over to Bell. Taft
protested that he wanted Morgen.
THAI as the policy-making head OF
the department to answer. Morgen-
THAI then said he would stand be-
hind Bells prediction.
1t is true that the house cut the
tax bill as submitted by the treas
ury. The treasury asked for $8,700.-
100000 and got $4,000. 900, 900 from
the house. The senate is being urged
to restore the cuts. But the treas

Wage Controls Likely

The President is reported as feeling that the
battle against imitation is being lost because his seven
point program of April 81 designed to hold down the
cost of living, is not being put into effect.
The recent report of the National War Labor
Board granting fortyfour cent daily wage increase
to l57 workers of Little Steel" emphasizes the double
effect of such wage increases on antnfaton efforts
Increased wages affect costs and in addition add to
the volume of purchasing power thus augmentng "the
infiatonary gap"
AS far judge, public opinion
throughout the country supports the Presidents deter
mination to prevent initiation. The people as whole
excepting certain groups seeking special advantages
recognize the Importance of price ceilings and realize
that wages well the cost of raw materials must
be conerolled.

Washington is talking about today

thinks isn't nearly big enough. Why?
Well, some say because the fiscal
policy makers of the nation don't
seem to be much more war con-
scious than the home guard before
Pearl Harbor
Now let's get few facts straight.
There are men in the treasury de-
partment and sitting on COMPRESSION
al committees dealing with fiscal
matters who know their monetary
onions as well as a farmer knows
the rows he hoes.
But let US proceed from there.
About year and half ago. Leon
Henderson who, no matter what you
may think Of his neckties, his man.
ners or his tactfulness, is pretty good
at foresight, echoed the thoughts of
perhaps a hundred other men in
Washington when he warned against
imitation.
One of the many brakes on infla-
ton is taxation. Taxation, Of course,
is an ancient process. Another meth
cd, not so ancient, is compulsory
savings.
Henderson favored compulsory
savings. So did lot of others. He
said so. He tried to convince Mr..
Morgenthau but Mr.. Morgenthau
shuddered. That was totalitarian.
Regulate prices what you pay out)
all right, but don't tell free Ameri-
can citizen what he has to put in
his sock. That's totalitarian. Hen
ry Morgenthau never said those
words to me. but one of his close
associates did.
Well. Henderson in one of his tact
less moments a year and a half
ago, commented on Mr. Morgen-
thau's opinions on compulsory saw
ings mot for the record. He said,
in effect: Henry is perfectly will
ing to have me put a gestapo in
every grocery store but he thinks
it's Hitlerism to force people to save
or buy bonds"
Those weren't his exact words but
those were his sentiments. / quote
them, not because Mr.. Henderson
knows everything. but because he
talks with a punch. might also
add that there appeared a year ago
an article from the pen of Reserve
Board Chairman Eccles entitled,
Price Ceilings Are Not Enough"
in which he expounded the thesis
that money must be taken out of
the easy spenders' pockets or infia-
ton would result.
