Little Men in Big Jobs

What kind of government is this that even a
war cannot make it sober down and 60 to
work? Little men rafting around in big Jobs
Our country cannot afford the wasteful luxury
of incompetent people in high places who spend
their time fighting each other
Even Mr.. Roosevelt publicly confessed on
Aug. 81 1912, that these conflicts within his
administration have been direct and serious
handicap to the prosecution of the war" How
costly they have been we will never know. But
we do know one thing. Twelve years of this
kind of government are too long. Sixteen years
of it would be intoerable
This administration has lived on conflict
They plan it that way. Listen to the Presidents

II Years of Bickerino

For II years the New Deal has treated us
to constant pickering. quarreling and back
biting by the most spectacular collection of in
competent people who ever held public office
We must not trust our future to such people
as Harry Hopkins, Madam Perkins and Harold
lckes. Certainly America can do better pro-
pose that we will do better.
But we can never do better under the New
Deal. The scars of its own failures and it's own
quarrels are too deep Going right back to it's
beginning, if it wasn't free-for-a all fight in the
NRA, it was Messrs Ickes and Hopkins fighting
over who got four billion borrowed dollars to
spend on PWA or WPA 1t was Henderson and
Ickes squabbling over the right to be gasoline
car or fight between the rubber director and
the undersecretary Of war
If it wasn't the OPA fighting with itself it
was Mr.. Ickes denouncing the War Labor Board
for its part in what he called 'black-and
stupid-chapter in the history of the home
front :"
The most disgracefu performance came
when Vice President Wallace accused Secretary
of Commerce Jones of having done much to
harass the . effort to help shorten this war
-" and Mr.. Jones charged the vice president
with malice, nnuendo, half truths and no
truths at all :"

The war in Europe is drawing to a close.
But hard tasks remain. We must speed the
drive for final victory We must put behind our
fighting men the backing of competent, effec-
tive government at home. We must make sure
that when total victory is won, those fighting
men are brought home promptly. We must take
the leadership in bringing about effective inter-
national cooperation to prevent future war.
We in America face mighty decision. Ten
million heroes will be coming home, entitled to
the fruits of victory-a prospecting country
with security and opportunity to get ahead.
Millions of workers in war plants will demand
their right to good job in peace industry at
good wages with security and stable employ
ment. The farmers of America have right to
know that their tremendous efforts in the face
of inadequate help and machinery will be re-
warded by new future of freedom from
reorganization with stable and good prices for
the fruits of their labor
Is the tired and quarrelsome New Deal all
America has to offer? Must we go back to leaf
raking and does? Must our returning heroes
go on the same old WPA? Must our farmers go
back to detailed control by host of New Deal
agents, with falling prices to boot?

Our country has a very important role to
play in the world in the years to come. We can
never achieve our detectives under an admni-'
straton too tired and worn out to bring order
out of its own chaos either at home or abroad
This nation Of ours can be an inspiration to
the world. We can be steadying influence for
freedom and peace. But first we must have
peace in our own government We must set our
own house in order. That can never be done by
weary and WORKOUT administration. II can
and must be done by fresh and vigorous ad-
mnstratiOn which will restore honesty and
competence to our government.

Comes Home TO Haunt Him

So this idea of keeping men in the army for
fear that they won't get jobs after the war was
in report made public last year by Mr. Roose-
welt himself. The New Deal has had it in mind
right along.
Now, let my opponent try to pass the buck
to one of his assistants. They can slip and
squirm in this New Deal but when my opponent
uses the word classification, as he did on the
radio in the teamsters' speech, it comes home
to haunt him.
And let me add that AS long ago as last
April, Mr. Roosevelt remained silent while his
director of selective service in public speech
in New York said he saw no purpose in letting
men out of the army Into some kind of WPA"
do not see any such purpose either
Our fighting men ought to be brought home
from the armed services at the earliest possible
moment after victory and to jobs and oppor-
tunity And that will be done when we get
new, an honest and responsible administra-
ton in Washington
The truth is that the New Deal has been
afraid all along that when the time came to let
; men out of the army there would be no Jobs for
them-that it would be case of back to nor
macy under the New Deal with 100000
unemployed.

JUDGE THOMAS M. COTTER

JUDGE THOMAS M. COTTER
u was one of the most widely known
jurists in Detroit. But only his closest
friends and his associates in record
er's court knew that he had been in
dubious health for the last year or so.
Thus, his death, Sunday night, as
he was about to deliver an address
in st. Theresa High School, came as
stunning shock to the community in
general.
Judge Cotter was widely known
because he was so unaffectedly gre
garious. He liked people. He liked to
know people and to mingle with
them.
And this sincere strain of socia-
bility was an important factor in his
success as a criminal courts magis
trate. Careless opinion might catalog
him as kindly and competent Judge,
helpful to the underdog and lenient
TO first offenders. That would be a
grossly inaccurate estimate.
DOR all his leisurely manner and
i amiable ways, Judge Cotter was,
IN fact, keen and tireless student of
the law Proof of that is that, during
25 continuous years on tbe~bench, Ne

record of all. Out of % leading industrial
nations of the world 10 had made greater re-
covery than the United States from the crash
of 1929. All but five had exceeded the 1929
level of production and gone well beyond it. The
fact is that the New Deal depression in the
United States was actually holding back eco-
nomc recovery all over the world.
1t was Winston Churchill who, late in 1887,
said
1.-THE Washington administration has waged
so ruthless war on private enterprise that the
United States Is actually at the present
moment leading the world back into the trough
Of depression"
Then he added:
THOSE WHO ARE KEEPING THE
FLAG OF PEACE AND FREE GOVERN

ALMOST THE RIGHT TO ASK THAT THEIR
COMRADES IN THE NEW WORLD Il. SET

BILITY"

went on with his war on business and employ
ment, his experimentation - his quarres and

Mr.. DeWey'S Tan Program

GOV. TIL o M S L. DEWEY )
VI radio speech on federal taxation
is undoubtedly the most constructive
document in the field of government
that this campaign has as yet brought
forth.
It is, IN itself, unmistakable evil
dence that Mr.. Dewey has an orderly,
definite and practicable program
wherewith to relieve the nation of
the accumulated ills and evils pro-
duced by the New Deal and set the
American people back upon their
historic path of PROGRESS and
PROSPERITY.
Above all, with It's clear sighted
directness and vigorous logic, it was
one of the most cogent arguments yet
presented against fourth term for
Mr.. Roosevelt and perpetuation Of
the ruinous economic fallacies, sub
terfuges and expressions of his whole
fiscal administration.
AS Mr.. Dewey himself noted, tax
reform must of course wait until
victory is won" in our two ocean
wars.
HOWEVER, when that day arrives
IL TAX REFORM WILL BE
AMERICA S MOST VITAL NEED:
and who is so purblind as to believe
that there will be any kind of Eff
FECTIVE tax reform, or indeed
ANY tax reform" at all, if Mr..
Roosevelt remains in the White
House for 16 years and listens-as he
will perforce have to do-to the de
mands of the Communist minded in
triguers who have made themselves
wheelhorses of his campaign?
Mr. Dewey's tax-reform program
was announced by him with such
clarity of thought and simplicity of
expression that it's profundities may
have escaped many radio auditors.
MIR. DEWEY does not believe in
N1 plundering the poor for politics.
He would therefore change the in
come.tax exemptions so that little
people" earning as little as "S11
week" will be spared.
This should silence all the dema-
gogic rhetoric of Vice President
Henry Wallace about "doing some
thing" for the common man. L."
1t should appeal to every wage
Garner who now finds the sticky
fingers of the tax collector in his pay
envelope every Saturday night.
Mr.. Dewey would reduce the tax
rates on personal incomes as means
of helping to restore the American
standard of living, of increasing the
peoples savings and security, and of
replenishing the reservoirs of private
capital on which our system of free
enterprise must depend for invest
ments in both new and old ventures.
Mr.. Dewey would lower the COR
poration income tax until it no
longer acts as drag upon produc
tion and a barrier to jobs. "
In other words, industrial and
commercial concerns would be per

PLOYING TENS OF THOUSANDS

MIR. DEWEY would get rid of
WI nuisance taxes.
Finally, he would completely
overhaul our existing confused and
complicated tax laws"
He would have Congress adopt a
PERMANENT tax system and enact
a PERMANENT revenue law which
would afterward be adjusted to the
governments legitimate needs by
merely altering the rates without
requiring complete revision once
year or oftener."
This proposal is one of STATES
MANSHIP as compared with the
New Deals floundering.
Tax administrators as we'll as tax
payers would know what the tax law
requires, and employers would be
able to "plan ahead" as they cannot
now do.
That is what Mr.. Dewey means
by "a consistent, national tax policy
one directed toward achieving
FULL EMPLOY MENT and A
RISING NATIONAL INCOME
one that will assure us of A SOL
VENT NATION and THE ULTI-
MATE REDUCTION OF OUR
NATIONAL DEBT"
ON THE basis of his tax revision
" program alone, America will be
prudent in entrusting it's affairs to
the New York governors wise,
strong and competent hands.
Mr. Dewey noted in his address
that such New Dealers as Wallace
and Harry Hopkins-two of the most
profligate spenders of public money
as NOW talking about tax relief.
AS to them he said in words that
deserve repeating

What is PENICILLIN?

Penicilln is precious powder extracted from
green mold, similar in appearance to the mold
you have seen on stale bread 1t is formed
from the mold like golden drops of dew.
These drops are reduced to powder form for
shipping to battle area hospitals where, like
plasma, it is dissolved in distilled water before
being injected.
To our wounded fighting men who are
invaded by frightful infections, this golden
drug means hope and happiness. For Penicillin
is a heavyweight champion in the battle
against infection. For example, in some cases,
Penicillin is almost zoo times as effective as
the Sulfa drugs.
Injected, Penicillin races unfailingly for
the area where the infection is deepest. And
almost invariably, the infection is wiped out.
Like Sulfa, Penicillin is not cure-all, how
ever. But, it has cleared infected wounds
when everything else failed. 1t has, moreover,
averted countless amputations. Penicillin
Saves lives. and perhaps even before this
