REDUCED EXPENDITURES
IMPERATIVE
The American Legion, at its recent
convention in Detroit^ gained public
'good will on the bonus question when
it voted to make no financial demand
on- the next Congress, which face|^ the
jtask of either greatly increasing/
.taxes during depressed times or ref
jducing expenses to fheet the ppvern;
ment irfcome.
I President Hoover, in a public state
ment thanking the Legion for its ac
tion said that it had set an example
(to all political or private agencies
seeking funds from the Federal traes
ury. He. said there should be a mo
ratorium on demands for public funds
until times improve and that sectional
|ihterest8 should become -secondary to
ithe common welfare.
j As an eScample of the attempted
raids on the public^ treasury, he cited
271 bills introduced in the last Con- j
gross, all of which were rejected, '
jwhich asked for approprialtions^jjyer .
a ten year period of nearly $17,000,- .
000,000. While rejecting these a- '
mounts, the last Congress appropri
ated some $10, 20p, 000,000, the' largest .
peace time assessment ever levied a
fiainst the people by a single session
of Congress. i
j -,The people should demand that po-? '
litical or private interests, groups or
associations; should refrain from ask- S
ing the e&xpayero for unusual expen
ditures at this tkrie. Furthermore,
l the people should demand that . Con- ?
greas cut appropriations to the fcone
before considering tax increases '
which, in the last analysis, all come
out of the pocket of the uleimate J
onaumer. ' jlJfilh 1

V H. C. Hardy
The. peerlesls "Al" Smith busts
oose in one of his Sunday letters, an<j
elis us that N the proper thing> to do
is to tangle up with foreign alliances,
contrary ? as he says ? to 4he advice
of Geo. Washington vto avoid 'em.
NW it was not George ? W. who
used them words, ("entailing alH
-nces with none*') but Thomas Jeff
erson. The Saintly "Al" seems to
know hii "sidewalks of 'New York'
'Se^tfer-than he does the U. S history.
'Al's idea is to repeal all immigration
aws, so that enough foreigners can
come in to vote out tTie 18th amend
ment.
WhattJeorge Washington said waa
this: "Against'the insiduous wiles of
foreign influence (I conjure you to
believe me, fellow citizens) the jeal
ousy of a free people ought to be
constantly awake; since history and
experience prove that foreipjn influ
ence is one of the . most baneful' foes
of Republican Governments"*
"Europe has a set of primary in
terest, which to us have none, or a
very remote relation. Hence she
nust be engaged in frequent contro
versies, the causes of whicft??are es
sentially foreign to our**' concerns.
Hence, therefore, it must be titvwise
in us to implicate ourselves, by arti
ficial ties, in 'the ordinary vi
cissitudes of her politic^ or the ordi
nary combinations and collisions of
her friendship or enmities." . ? C
"Why quit, our own to standytipon
foreign ground? Why, by .'interweav
ing our destiny -with thajfc of any
pact. of Europe, entangles our peace
and prosperity in the tolls of Euro
pean ambition, rivalship, interest,
humor, or caprice?*'
Yeah, George W .was a bifiger man
than "Al" is or ever will be. .
When any political party ?bandons
the principles for which it has al
wajtof ato6d,.for those of the oppos
ition party /it mmw to be a aeparte
party; and lor all intent? and pur
sztrs
crate plpu?h throtiSfc that,?ne. .

| Roosevelt, Raskofe, Ritchie and 11 AW
Smith j^TTtave the corporation, o:
"big busTfieto" point ott view. They;
are in thorough, accord... -with the
principles of the Republican party,
except on the liquor question.
| . An() now, "AV' and Ras have sent
out a "claripn call" ( I think that la
^ the usual kind ofpolitical call) to
all of the lOyal party - members., to
chip in and help raise $ 1*500,000. Of
that amount $600,000' will be used for
headquarters ^xpenses, $826,00 to pay
off Ras' < he knows his nriontgane is a
handicap bo party success) and the
balance for the good of the cause. It
seems that they overlooked a trifling
amount of a little over $400,000 the
.party still owes a New York bank. "
| If you are a real Democrat, you
I are in duty bound to contribute to so
worthy,-?; cause. f If you are shy on
money, send in . a. few pounds of 5
;cent cotton, a bush6l or two of peas
corn, or spinach, so that tihey can ppt
a little practical experience in mar
keting farm products. Ras has con
tributed $100,000 (about 35 per cent
reduction of his mortgage) to tho
cause; "Al" is sitting tiflht, and
.holding on to his cash. ^He is looking
forward to a hard winter. Besides if
business picks up before election
time, the Democrats can't win, and
"Al" is not tossing away pyood money
in a losing fight. '
, Rally 'round the old flag boys, ant!
in your contributions.
1 "I wonder how much Mayor Key of
Atlanta will contribute?
I Tammany Hall ,h&s had its yearly
"love feast.*' Yeah, "Al" was there,
but this time he daretfully refrained
from saying, "Tammany is all right";
he did say that it is time for all Demi
ocrats to stick together; the "gang*
hailed him as the next president. 1
am afraid that Governor Roosevelt
will fail to get the nomination; < it
looks tike "Al". C

motoring,
"1 havo been a ear owner continuously
for nearly 220 years," writes a motorist
connected with a leading university.
"During this period I have bought
eleven new' automobiles. Eight of the
eleven were in the middle-price field,
one cost three thousand dollars, and the
last is a Ford I purchased thirteen
months ago*
"In the light of this experience I can
# say in all sincerity that 1 have derived
mere genuine satisfaction from the
Ford than any cet* I ever owned. In

terms of comfort, safety* driving
pleasure, ease of control and
economy. My next car will also be a'
