SLfi... ?... _ .... _ * < Will Rogers On Air For Relief Funds Los Angele*, Oct. 18.?Will Hogcm, talking from Radio Station KFI hero tonight, wan one of the speakers for the national broadcast in which President Hoover opened the countrywide campaign for community funds for unemployment relief. The humorist, in u speech of unusual length for him, said: "Now don't get .mad and start turning off the rudio. I'm not advertising anything. If the mouth wash you are using is the wrong kind, you will just have to keep on using it, and I don't know what cig-,. arette will drag in your Adam's apple, unless/you lay off apples, "Mr. Owen I>. Young and Mr, <i if ford asked me to annoy on this program. You just heard Mr. Gifford, the biggest hello man in the world, a very fine high-class man, but what a Job he has got! Mr. Hoover just told him, 'Gifford, I have a remarkable job for you; you are to feed the several million unemployed. ' "'With what?' says Gifford. " 'That's what makes the job remarkable. If you had something to do it with, it wouldn't be remarkable.' "And Young, Owen D. Young. You know Young. He's the originator of the Young Plan, the Yqung Men's Temperance Union, Young's Meat Market, Young Kippur and was the first Democratic child born of white parents in Youngstown, Ohio. "The Young Plan was that every nation that owed each other should pay what they could. Hut somebody came along with an older plan than the Young Plan; in fact, it is the oldest plan there is. It was that nobody pay anybody anything. So that being an improvement over Young's plan, why it's the one Europe is working under now. "Well, Mr. YoUng called me up and asked me to talk on this program. 1 told him 1 was very particular who 1 appeared with, and who would be the other speakers. He said,- 'Would Mr. Hoover be all right V "I told him 1 would think it over. So I did. I looked up everything about him and inquired and found that after discounting alxrut twothirds that the Democrats said about him, I had nothing much to lose by appearing wi\h him. So 1 took a chance. "So if we do all right today, there's liable to be a new toam on the radio ? Hoover and Rogers. "I told him to get0 Mr. Coolidge in it, he would be selling some insurance. Mexico's president is about to resign, Spain's resigned, Chili has had a crate of 'em lately, so that leaves Mr. Hoover the 'dean of Presidents.' "Mr. Hoover has done s.,me splendid work for us lately. - He rounded up the bankers and told 'em if they wanted to continue to get eight and ten per cent from the yokels they'd better start letting out some dough without the security of a right eye and three ribs. He told 'em to melt some frozen assets. "A frozen asset is just a banker's mistake. Anyhow, he sent 'em borne renewing notes. "So now things are different. Everybody is holding their own. In , ? ' - -? ? 11 act' mars just wnavs cue -uiBticr with the . country. Everybody is holding their own and won't let go. "We used to be told that depression was a state of mind, but starvation has changed that impression. Depression is a state of health. It's moved from the mind to the stomach. And it ain't really depression either. It's just a roturn to normalcy. We are just getting back to earth and it don't look natural to us any more. We are back to two bit meals and cotton underwear, and off the $1,60 steaks and silk under-rompcrs. "The trouble with us is America is just mus'cle-bound from holding a steering wheel. The only place we an' calloused from work i- the bottom of our driving toe. "Now. everybody has a scheme to relieve unemployment. Now, there is just one way to do it. and that's for everybody to go to work. Where? "Where? Why, right where you are. Look around. You see a lot of things to do, weeds to he cut, fences to he fixed, lawns to be ' mowed, filling stations to be robbed. ' gangsters to ho catered to?there is a million little oodds and ends right ' under your eye that an Idle man can ' turn) his hand to every day. 1 "Of course, he won't" gl'l TOiid for it, hut he won't get pltid forgot dc ing it. My theory is that ;t will keep ' him in practice in case something docs show up. You can lay off so 1 long that you can lose the habit, so keep practicing so work wont' ho a i novelty when it does come. You cat - just as much loafing as you do work1 ;ng. In fact, more; you g >; more time. I he trouble with us today is we are in ?u?h bad ahape that it tnkea u* all day to tell about it. We keep yawning and yapping for the good! old day* of '2tl, '27 and '28. Well,! we 'night juat as well wake up, for' thoae cuckoo tmiea are not coming back any more, JJow we all escaped a lunatic asylum during that time is more than we know now. W e paid a dollar down on everything under the sun that anybody had to sell, 1 had a 1>0 per cent equity in every lot in America. "Now here we are worrying andr reading in the -ptrpers ubout a hum j dred different problem* that they, got us all excited about and making us believe they amount to something. This country has got just one problem. It's not the balancing of Mr. Mel Ion's budget (that's his worry, not ours). It is not the league of' Nations that you read a lot about. It's not the silver question. Not one of those things mean a thing jn the wofld to us as long as we have 7,000,000 of our own out of work. "That's our only problem, and to arrange the affairs of this prosperous country (yes, prosperous right now), to so arrange it so that a man J that wants to work can get work, j and give him a more equal division I of the wealth the country produces. Now if our big men in the next year can't fix that?well, they just ain't I big men, that's all, "What does all this yapping about disarnwunciif amount to, compared to your own,people 'that haven't worked in two years? "What does prohibition amount to, if your neighbors' children, are not eating? It's food, not drink, is our problem now. We were so afraid the! poor people might drink, now we fixed it^so^hey can't eat. Is Japan's and China's trouble more to us than our breadlines? "We got more wheat, more corn,'/ more food, more cotton, more money j in the banks, more everything in the ! world than any nation that eyer lived ever had, yet we are starving to death. We are the first nation in the history of the world to go to the poorhouse in an automobile. "Our Potter's Fields are surrounded with granaries full of grain. "Now if there ain't something cockeyed in an arrangement like that, then this microphone in front of me is a mouse-trap. "It's simply a case of getting it j fixed. All the feed is going into one! manager and the stock on the other i aide ain't getting any of it. But we j are better off than all these other nations that are hard up. They haven't got all this. We got it, but we don't know how to split it up. "I guess we'll get it fVxed, for everybody is aroused and thinking on it. We been so busy in the last few years getting radios and bathtubs and facial cream and straight eights that we forgot to see if we had any bacon and beans. "Now a miracle can't happen and all these people get a bath overnight. It's going to take time, so they must be fed and cared for, perhaps all Winter. Every one of us that have anything got it by tfhe aid of these very people. There is not an unemployed man in the country that hasn't contributed to the wealth of every millionnaire in America. "The working classes didn't bring l this on, it was the big boys that [thought the financial drunk was golnfc to last lorever ana overDougnc, overmerged and overcapitalized. "Now the people are not asking for money, they are asking for a job, but there , is no job. Towns and, cities can't say tihey haven't got the money, for the same amount of money is in the country as when these folks had their share. Somebody got it. Last Winter we didn't realize the need, but this Winter we got no excuse, it's been shown to us all Summer. "1 have said for the last two years tha? things would pick up in '.'52. Why? Why because it's an election year, a id the Republicans always see to it that things look good on election yea -. They give us three bad years and one good one. hut the good one is the voting year. Election* are always just a year too late for the 1 >omocrat s. Now don t wait for the government to feed these people. The taxpayer is now feeding about onefourth of the people who are not doing anything much for him. I'll bet you that every town and city comes through. "I have seen lots of audiences and heard lots of appeals, but 1 have yet to see one where the people knew the need, and the cause was there, that they didn't come through. Even Europe, who hates us and thinks we are arrogant, bad-mannered and everything else, but they will tell you that we are liberal. "Dog-gone it. our folk- are liberal. "I didn't know* anything about America being fund.,mentally sound' and ail that after-d nn.er hooey, but I do know that America is 'funda% it ii! i' i Large Still Raided " In Wateree Swamp Rural Officers Scale, Dullard, Norrig arid Tisdale seized a big whisky still this morning in the Wateree River swamp, four miles from Horatio. The still was a 1H0 gallon wooden outfit with a 00 gallon copper condenser. About 5,500 gallons of mash, 25 gallons of whisky and 18 cases of fruit jars were destroyed in the swamp by til# officers. The copper condenser was the only part of the still they were able' tq 'bring from the swamp. The officers went in the awamp'at 10 o'clock, without any definite information concerning the location of the still. They found the outfit a short time later and left the swamp at 1 o'clock this afternoon.?Monday's Hutoiter Item. The French cabinet is reported to have drafted a bill to appropiiato $120,000,000 to be used in public construction to aid the unemployed. mentally generous.' v> "I want to thank Mr. Gifford and Mr. Young, and especially Mr. I Hoover, for tihe honor of being allowed to appear on the same program with him. "There is not an unemployed man in America tonight that has worried as much, or taken this situation to heart as much as our President. I know that he would rather she the problem of unemployment solved than all the other problems put together. He has had a long, tough, hard pull; and for every town and city to get right out apd raise their funds woul(f?,Triake him mighty happy, and happiness hasn't been a diet with him, and he is a very human man. "I thank you. Good night."
