Time To Spcsk Up.
it > time for the people to speak
up and have something to nay. They
have allowed the men in public office
to *p< nd their money foolishly Ion#
enough. They have put up with the
numberless laws. They have paid the
& charge* year after year. They have
listened at promises hut got only
disappointments. Salaries ami wages
were brought down to agree with the
low price of farm products. The
schools are costing us as much or
more than ever before. Bond issues
continue td bo the remedy and these
only call for increased tax levies.
It is time that the people should demand
what they want and that is
retrenchment in all governmental
* functions, reduction of the cost of
public service,-?Horry Herald.

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%

Hoover, for tihe honor of being allowed

"There is not an unemployed man
in America tonight that has worried
as much, or taken this situation to
