There were IL or IA million

Above all, let me ask you:
Do you want to avoid a third

EionS:
1. Income taxes here compare
favorably" with those Of neighbor-
ing States. Moreover. any further
increase would tend to drive cit
izens and busines out Of the Dis
trict of Columbia"
2. The gasoline tax, recently
boosted to five cents from four
cents per gallon, should remain
unchanged "as a reasonable cell
ing under existing circumstances. +"
3. The 2 per cent sales tax here
already places the city at a dis
advantage with Virginia, which
has none. A higher tax in this
category would increase the dis
advantage with Virginia and
create a new one with Maryland,
which now has a 2 per cent sales
levy.
4. The present 2 per cent
personal property tax is high
enough, and, what's more,
nuisance tax unfairly distributed"
The Fleming group reported
that it also looked into the possi-
bility of selling the public tax
exempt bonds to finance the build

Temptation in Banking
As Well as Government

Betrayal of the public trust is

bribes, and the people who took
them. should all be behind bars.
know Of nobody who has
found a way to prevent some
people from being-or becoming
dishonest. If anybody has a
formula, I'm sure the American
Bankers Association, for one.
would pay a lot to get it. They
have temptation in their busi-
ness just as we have it in the
Internal Revenue Bureau, and
last year there were something
like 900 defalcations and en-
bezzlements in the banks Of this
country. One out Of every 800
bank officers was found to be
crooked. And the record Of the
Internal Revenue Bureau is q
lot better than that.
I most certainly do not con-
done dishonesty in Govern
ment-I do not undertake to
excuse it-but ! think you ought
to get the facts about this
straight.
One of the fairest comments
on the Internal Revenue Bureau
and the Government as a
whole-was made by. your own
senior Senator from North Da-
kota, who Is q Republican. Sen
ator LANCER said on the floor Of
the Senate last October:
Mr.. President. I have lis

and from the various things we
read in the newspapers, one
would get the impression that
Government officials are all a
bunch Of crooks and grafters.
I wish to say that. in my opin-
ion, Federal officials today are
just as honest as were the Fed

Republicans Oppose
Reorganization Plans

Now, I am only human and ]
make mistakes like everybody
else. But ! have been working
for the people Of the United
States just as hard as I could.
and I have been doing an hon.
est job.
I've cleaned up corruption In
the Government wherever I've
found it. But I haven't been
satisfied just with getting rid Of
wrong -doers. I've tried to i'm
prove the Governments machin-
cry for preventing corruption in
the future.
Do you know what's the big
gest trouble I've run into in
doing that? It's the opposition
of the Republicans in Congress.
They have voted against every
reorganization plan I have pro-
posed to take Government jobs
out Of politics and put them un-
der civil service.
They don't want to get rid Of
corruption. They just want to
= kick it around as a political
football.
The truth about the matter
is that the special interest fell
lows who run the Republican
Party are so anxious to get con-
troll of the Government for their
own purposes that they won't
stop at anything. They did not
pick one Of their own gang to
be their candidate for President.
They knew the people would
see through that. They picked a
man who has spent all his life
in the Army and doesn't know
much about what they have been
doing or about what has been
going on in the United States.
Then they swarmed all around
him and began selling him their
special interest line of propa-
ganda. He has swallowed It
hook. line and sinker, and he
is doing and saying exactly what
they tell him. He may not know
it. but he has become a front
man for the lobbieS.
They are sending him around
the country with advance agents
to put up the billboards and bal
looms, and pass out the confetti.
Oh, they have plenty of money
to put into these things. The
Wall Street bankers are just
pouring it out.
The Republican candidate
has sign on the back Of his
train that says Look Ahead
Neighbor." Well. that's not what
that sign ought to say. What
it ought to say is this Look
Out Neighbor."

Court Withho|ds Reply
To Lufz, Critic Of
BootIegging Penalty

Municipal Judge Frank H
Myers refused to reply today to
criticism leveled at him by a
police of1lcial for giving a lenient
sentence to q bootlegger.
The criticism was made yester-
day by Inspector Clarence Lutz
head Of the recently created
morals division of the department,
who has been conducting a rugged
campaign against the hip-pocket
operators.
Inspector Lutz urged that jail
sentences be given the after-hours
bootleggers instead of fines as a
step in ridding the District of the
racket.
mo comment" was Judge
Myers reply when asked about
the police inspectors remarks.
THE police department can go
ahead and criticize" the jurist
said. "But have to act in each
case as I think best"
Sees Efforts Hamstrung.
Inspector Lutz did not mention
Judge Myers by name when he
complained that his drive to rid
the city Of bootleggers was being
hamstrung because Of the system
Of flning instead of handing out
jail terms.
However, he cited the case of
Morris (Jack) Mcdaniel, 33, of
the 1900 block Six-and-O One Half
street NV, as a point of argu-
ment. Mcdaniel, reputed to be
doing a $3.50 day business, was
fined $50 or an alternative 60 days
in lieu thereof, Saturday on two
counts Of keeping and selling
without q license.
I'm not saying what penalty
should be given bootleggers be-
cause the judges know the D. C..
CoGe better than l." Mr.. Lutz
said.
But I do know that if the boot
leggers would be sent to Jail in
stead Of being fined. it would help
q lot towards cleaning up this
racket in Washington"
Bootleggers' System" Cited.
Inspector Lutz explained that
bootleggers have adopted a plan
to keep their sentences at a mini
mum. Whenever a suspect gets q
strict judge he asks for a jury
trial.
Another Judge is generally as
signed to the case, and to save the
expense. time and effort involved
in the jury hearing lenient sem
tence is imposed in return for a
withdrawal Of the jury demand by
the defendant and a plea of guilty
to the charge.
Several of the Municipal Court
judges recently have made an at
tempt to stop this evasion by plac-
ing the bootleggers on probation.
If rearrested, the first sentence
plus jail time for the second Of
fense can be imposed. The maxi
mum penalty for the offense is a
$1,000 fine and a year in jail.
Three others picked up over the
week end by Inspector Lutz' raid
ers and due for appearance today
in Municipal Court are:
Samuel E. Tetlow, 43. Of the
$500 block Fifty-seventh avenue.
Tuxedo; John Dewey Wood. 81,

Text of Trunun's First WhistIe-Stop Speech
sy The A.soeie,.d PRESS


FARGO, N. Dak.. Sept. 29.--
FOLLOWING is the tert of Presi-
dent Trumdn's first speech on
his current tDhistIe stop CAM
paign trip: -
This is the beginning OF what
the newspapers call a whistle
stop trip. You know. that phrase
was invented by Senator Taft
back in 1948. The Republicans
were trying to make fun OF my
efforts to take the issues in that
campaign directly to the, people
all over the country. $50
They found out it wasn't SO
funny after all. and they haven't
been able to crack a smile since.
A lot of people came out to
meet the train four years ago,
and ! told them the truth about
what was going on in Washing
ton. When November came. they
voted right, and I'm sure they're
going to do it again.
This time I'm not asking your
votes for myself, but that isn't
going to make one bit Of. diff
ference. e*@
I'm still going to tell you the
truth about your Government
and about the Republican rec
ord, too-and when ! get thorugh
I think you will know a lot more
about both subjects than you
can learn from the one-party
press in this country.
You're going to get the facts,
and when you do know you're
going to elect Adlai Stevenson
and John Sparkman and real
Democratic Congress.
Adlai Stevenson win be one Of
the country's greatest presi-
dents. He has everything that
is required for the presidency
great ability, experience in civil
government, humility, and a
deep feeling for the common
people.
Gov. Stevenson has been maxi
ing the issues clear in this
campaign. I hope you've been
listening to his speeches, and
reading them, too.
II you have, you know he has
been talking straight from the
shoulder about the problems
that face this Nation, and about
the great decisions that will
have to be made during the next
four years.
I'm sorry that his opponent
is not doing the same thing.
The Republican candidate for
President says he's going to try
to win this election by appeal
ing to the. peoples emotions, not
to their intellects. That's why
you won't find anything in most
Of his speeches except slogans,
generalities. and scare words.
I think it's insulting to the
American people to tell them
they make up their minds ac-
cording to their emotions, and
not on the basis of the great
issues that are before them.

Promises to Discuss
Issues of the Conpoiqn

NOW, on this trip I'm going
to talk facts, and I'm going to
talk issues. I'm going to talk
about every phase of our domes-
tic and foreign policy, and I'm
going to talk about the record
OF my administration in terms
that everybody can understand.
And you people today-and
the historians in later years
will find that the record is
pretty good. The last four years
have been years of fighting for
peace in the world and working
for a strong and prosperous Ma
ton here at homeland they
have been successful years.
We've crushed the Communist
conspiracy in this country. And
we've stopped the advance of
communism all over the globe.
We moved into Korea to make
it plain to the Kremlin that the
free countries of the world don't
plan to engage in appeasement
for we have learned from Bit
ter experience that appease-
ment is the road to total war.
The Communists have been
stopped cold in Korea. And the
Communists haven't crossed
another frontier since. anywhere
in the world.
At home. we've made great
progress in a mighty program
to strengthen our national de-
fense. We're in a much stronger
position now to bring about e.
just and lasting peace.
And while we've been carrying
out this great program Of COM
batting communism and build
ing strength. we've maintained
the prosperity and the high
standard of living which have
become almost synonymous with
having Democratic administra-
tiOnS in washington.
So the record is good.
But in spite Of this, the Demo-
cratic administration is being
subjected to the most abusive,
Incorporate and vicious CAM
paign we have had in years.
The Republican Party has
launched a crusade. they call it.
to exterminate the Democrats
by propaganda, lies, SANDER
any means. fair or foul.
Now, why is this?
It's because. so long as I have
been in Office, ! have been fight
ing for the common man. I've
been fighting against the special
interests and they are out to
get me and destroy all I have
done.
Now who are this special
privilege groups that are be-
hind this vicious attack? Who
are the groups behind the Re-
publican candidate. pulling the
strings?
