dents were expected to return.

He said the Japanese drive from

SUpER-DUPER CAMPAIGN
FINANCING
(Orange (Calif.) Daily News)

(Orange (Calif.) Daily News)
The other day we received in the mail
a beautiful little brochure bearing the
innocent title a Proposal to Raise
Funds for the Democratic Campaign OF
1914 After reading it through, some
how or other the familiar verse of Bert
Harte came to mind: For ways that are
dark and for tricks that are vain, the
heather Chinee is peculiar Well, the
said Chnee has nothing on the devlsors
of this ingenious scheme to raise money
for a political campaign. 1t is novel
unique, irresistible. Speaking bit more
frankly. it displays some of the outward
appearances of Joke on the Hatch Act.
Not to keep the reader in suspense
here is the plan in outline: \ sculptor
By the name Of Alonzo Victor Lewis OF
Seattle has modelled a bust of President
Roosevelt which will be distributed to
the faithful in such quantities as may be
required. The bust stands % inches high
and weighs so pounds. 1t is made of
"dealstone" probably named after the
New DeaD, which, we are told, is syn
thetic composition not subject to OPA
priorities.
How do you get one Of them? Simple
enough. The statues are given IN eX-
change for Democratic campaign contri-
buttons. In order to maintain adglec of
flexibility in the plan, the bust can be
obtained for any sized contribution. We
are told there is no fixed value on Art,
and hence no OPA ceiling, No matter
how large or small your subscription, the
value of the statue given in return Will
offset it. Rather a neat scheme, and at
solutely safe, we are told. Nothing III the
Smith Connally Act or the Hatch Act
which can touch you. No provision Ill
either of these laws prevents labor
union. or a corporation, from purchasing
an object of art, even if it happens to be
a statue of the Commander III Chief.
No shrinking violet prepared this copy
appeal, for here Is what he says: All
industry is busy on war contracts. The
money they make is Democratic money.
The cntracts they get are Democratic con-
tracts. They should show their apprecia-
ton by purchasing a statue OF the No. l
Man of all Democrats
That's telling EN- brother,
But here's the payOff. Prospective pur-
chasers. as suggested, are Federal office
holders. Federal bureau and agency
heads. labor unions, industrali6ts hold
ing war contracts and art lovers.
If the reader is slightly agitated at the
UNPARALLELED audacity of the scheme he
may comfort himself with the thought
that. after all, this war, SO the proponents
of this scheme imply, is being fought by
Democrats, financed by Democrats, the
jobs held by Democrats, and the con-
tracts given to Democrats. It's as simple
as that.
Not only are we to have something new
in our style of campaigning, but also
smething amazingly new in the method
of defraying campaign expenses.
If you are interested, just drop a line
to Alonzo Victor Lewis Associates, 1l11
Fourth Avenue, Seattle. Washington.
They'll tell you the rest of the story.

TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING
FOR WHAT THEY GET

A good Joke is enjoyed in any mans
language but sometimes jokes are eX-
pensive Through all the long years of
the New Deal, its numberleSS bureaus at
Washington have provided no end OF
Jokes for dinner parties, club meetings
on trains and boats-in fact wherever
more than one person is gathered to-
gether But these same jokes, and they
grow in number and in new ones every
,day, are getting too expensive. TaXFay-
ers who must not only pay out the hard
cash to raise billions to keep up this joke
factory at Washington, but put most OF
their balance in bonds, are beginning TO
get peevish.
Here is a sample of one of these billion
dollar Jokes. It comes from the office OF
price administration. Federal register,
that set of volumes which record the
thousands of regulations issued by the
OPA. and the volumes, too keep grow
ing.
Saws this one about hats:
"EXAMPLE TWO: If you are pric-
inc a mans soft fur felt hat the mar
rowest trade category would be men
soft fur felt hats. but if you have none
from which you can select the compar-
able commodity. you then go to the
next narrowest trade category, mems
soft felt hats if you have none of these
from which to choose, the next narrow
est trade category would be mems felt
hats; finally, if you have no mems felt
hats. the narrowest trade category
available would be mems hats in gen
eral."
Of course by this time if the victim of
this directive has a hat at all he long
since has ierked it off and stomped 1t.
and right righteously. we would add.
The only clear thing about this effu
sion (pardon us. official regulation, once
disregarded, and Jail for the offender)
is the word finally. 1t really is COM
mendable feature because most OF these
crazy, sanseless directives go on forever.
Go ahead and laugh This kind of joke
is only costing you at the rate of billions
in taxes. No one yet accurately has been
able to get a census of federal employees
who write this sort of rot and few are
drawing less than 5000 a year, while
their chiefs who don't pretend to under
stand what their underlings write, draw
up to and more than a cabinet officers
salary.
Suppose, and it is more than supposi-
ton, one of these high salaried crack-pots
is given the job of writing the peace
treaty, or our part OF II; or that bureau
which turns out such drivel is charged
with authoring the reconversion pro-
gram
No. Mr.. and Mrs. Taxpayer, there IS
no Joking about these same dubs doing
just that very thing. You are footing the
bill for close to 100000 federal employ
es, thousands of whom are doing exactly
as poor a job as this OPA employe.
Thousands too are doing fine Jobs at
whatever they are set to do, as far as they
are permitted to do so by their politically
appointed bosses.
And, Mr. and Mrs Taxpayer, the New
Deal has not said it will, or promised 1t
will, remedy this evil if given four years
more of power, and you can bet your
last dollar there will be no change. And
you can bet your last dollar again and
win. that the New Deal will dip into your
pockets for more money to pay for more
of the same.
The country best be looking for less
costly source of Jokes

identified assailant.
DARING ATTACK
The attack took place shortly
after midnight, Thursday morn
ing, as the physician left his
clinic at 80 South Gratiot ave-
nue., after working in the offic.
there on case records. He said
he noticed no suspicious person
in the vicinity, although two
friends passing by at the time
acknowledged his greeting and
continued walking past the elm
ic.
His car was parked in a spot
Swallowed by trees on Gratiot
close to Terry street. DR.. Heine
said he unlocked the car door
and opened it when he was sud-
denly struck from behind. He
became unconscious and lost a
considerable amount of blood.
He was lying across the car seat

one person involved in the as
sault.

his own experiences with the

right to consider trade unionism
wrong than they had to say that
capitalists are always wrong.
