The^\lamance gleaner VOL. LXI. ~ ? . OR AH AM. I\, C., THURSDAY OCTOBER 10. 193 5. >. ? NO? 36* MMtflllfllTS nra|gpw By Edwardr^-'W. Pickard ? TKstefn MwnMlwr ! Jwinm Speeches by President on Western Trip TRAVELING rapidly to the Pacific coast for some fishing, President Roosevelt delivered several important addresses. The first was at Fremont, V?K KA iacu., nucic uc to about 15,000 farm ers and was enthusi astically received. Mr. Roosevelt set forth the chief accomplishments of his administration to date, and challenged his opponents to do better. He defended the legality of the New Deal doings and ? made It plain that he President would continue to car Roosevelt ry on experiments for the welfare of the people. Defining bis idea of constitutional government, he said its true function is "to pro mote the general welfare, not by Inter fering unduly with individual liberties, but by bringing to the aid of the indi vidual those powers of government which are essential to assure the con tinuance of the Inalienable rights which the Constitution is intended to guarantee. It is democracy in the good old American sense of the word." | Coming to the AAA, in which his hearers might be supposed to be most vitally interested, the President as serted that "agricultural adjustment is an expression in concrete form of the human rights those farmer patriots sought to win when they stood at the bridge at Concord, when they pro- I claimed the Declaration of Independ ence, and when they perpetuated these ideals by the adoption of the Consti- I tution." No matter what attempts may be made to tear it down, "the principle of farm equality expressed by agricul tural adjustment will not die," the President told the crowd. The AAA has made "honorable his tory," the President declared, and as a result, smoke is pouring from chim neys again and workers without regu lar jobs are obtaining employment. He served notice that it is the pur pose of his administration to "use ev ery square mile of the United States for the purpose to which it is best adapted." Nature must be harnessed instead of despoiled, he asserted. At Boulder Dam the President as sisted in the dedication of the great project and delivered an^address in which he announced that government spending for employment purposes * was nearing its end and that now pri vate industry must take up the bur den of decreasing the army of the un employed. He defended the adminis tration against the charges of "boon doggling" and said its efforts "meet with the approval of the people of the nation." He touched only -lightly on the power question. Secretory Ickes, who also spoke, said Boulder Dam should be re-named Johnson Dam, in honor of Senator Hiram Johnson. Again at Los Angeles in the Holly wood Bowl and at San Diego the Chief Executive delivered adddesses, and then he went to catch some fish. High Cost of Living Is k Subject of Inquiry f~\RETING the instructions of the President, the federal trade com mission has begun a survey to deter mine why the cost of living is mount ing so high. Several members of the commission's staff started the investi gation in Detroit, where the house wives staged a meat strike some weeks a?o. Other members of the staff will '?ike up the work in Chicago, and later the inquiry will be carried on In other centers. The agricultural income especially is to be investigated. Illinois Republicans for Knox for Presidency Pol. FRANK KNOX, publisher of the Chicago Daily News. Is now an accredited candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination, for he has received the indorse ttent of the Republl Can state central com n ittee of Illinois.

Colonel Knox said: **I have ***en from the Atlantic to the Pacific | and from West Virginia on north, and everywhere 1 find that the Republicans not only think that they will be vic torious hut they have a deep sense of responsibility to rescue the country from the hands of socialists." Budget Summation Shows Reduction in Deficits ? N A "budget summation" givea out *? at Washington by order of the Pres ident it is shown that the federal defi cits will be reduced by more than a billion and a quarter from the original estimates, because economic conditions have grown "decidedly better" and tax receipts are higher than was expected. The estimated deficit for the current fiscal year will be $3,2S1,000,000. "The prevailing rate of recovery," the President said, "points to the speedy decline of federal expenditures for emergency activities." Unless the AAA's processing taxes are knocked out by the Supreme court, he argued, the government "will not need new taxes or increased rates In existing taxes to meet the expenses of Its necessary annual operations." Van Sweringens Recover Railway Empire VTAN" SWEItl.NGEN brothers have * regained control over the vast rail way and real estate empire they built and lost to New York bankers. At the height of the boom this was valued at $3,000,000,000. It was taken by a bank ing group when the Van Sweringens defaulted on loans of $48,000,000 and was put up at auc^gn. The brothers regtyned control fot$3,l!T.(ibO by bid ding in the majority stock of the Al leghany corporation, holding company for ail but one of the so-called Van Sweringen roads. Including the Chesa peake & Ohio, Pere Marquette. Nickel Plate, Missouri Pacific, and Chicago & Eastern Illinois, War in Ethiopia Growing Nearer Day by Day ITALY having rejected the peace plan proposed by the League of Nations committee of five, and Ethiopia having accepted it, the committee reported to the league council mac its efforts to solve the problem were futile. The council thereupon held a public meeting and adopted unani mously the r e c o m mendation of its pres ident, Enrique Uulz Guinazu of Argentina, that it proceed under article 15 of the cove nant. drafting a report Anthony Eden an(j recommen(jati0ns for settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian embroglio. A feature of the council's session was an address by Capt. Anthony Eden, British minister for league affairs. Conversations in Rome between British Ambassador Sir Eric Drummond and Premier Mussolini bad led some to think Great Britain was weakening, but Eden announced his government was "steadfastly determined to abide by its policy" as previously declared. Emperor Haile Selassi wired the league requesting that in view of the "increasing provocative attitude of Italy" neutral observers be dispatched to Ethiopia to establish responsibility in case a clash occurs. The Ethiopian ruler notified the league that he could not delay general mobilization much longer, in view of the "increasing gravity of Italian ag gression," but he decided to wait a little longer for action by the league before calling to arms his warriors, whose number he estimates at 2.0OO.OOO. Mussolini, who asserted he expected Ethiopia would soon assault Italy's colonies proceeded to put 2TiO.OO*l troops in east Africa. Nearly every day ves sels left for Eritrea carrying large bodies of soldiers. On one of them went Prince Adelberto of Savoy, cousin of King Victor Emmanuel. Io addi tion to the Italian troops. Mussolini will have half as many native fighters from Eritrea and Somaliland. The duce Intimated he would quit the League of Nations if It took any ac tion against Italy, but he also offered to negotiate an accord with Great Britain. The British asked France to define its attitude should any nation attack the empire, and soon after Sir Sam uel Hoare replied to France's ques tions regarding the British attitude to ward possible trouble on the conti nent The foreign secretary assured France that Great Britain would al ways support collective action against any aggressor. American Legion Elects Ray Murphy Commander A MKKICAN Legionnaires in eonven tion in St. Louis adopted with shouts of approval a resolution for ac tive opposition to "nazi-ism, fascism, communism and other isms contrary to the principles enunciated in the Constitution." Still cheering, the dele gates followed that up by asking the withdrawal of United States recogni tion of soviet Russia. The veterans commended recent leg islation for national defense and called for a larger army, continuation of the officers' training camps, the C. M. T. C. and R. O. T. C. in schools, and for a navy equal to any in the world. They asked all nations to work for world peace, and approved the neutrality resolution of the last congress. Cleveland, Ohio, was awarded the 1036 annual convention after four bal lots. The national American Legion band championship was won by the Chicago Board of Trade post musi cians. At their final session the veterans elected J. Ray Murphy of Ida Grove, Iowa, national commander, and passed a resolution demanding immediate cash payment of the soldiers' bonus.

Williams Says Business Must Share With Workers AUBREY WILLIAMS, first assistant to Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins, said in an interview that the unemployment problem will not be solved in a husiness pick-up unless indus try "shares increased business with the workers." He assert ed that the present gain in business lias put few more people to work, and explained this fact by attribut ing it primarily to in creased efficiency which Dermits employ Aubrey ers ,0 pr0(]uce more Williams goods than before with fewer employees. Williams said there bad been a drop In the number of people on relief, but he attributed this largely to a "hard boiled" policy under which the rolls were combed of ineligibles. "As fast as they go from relief to Jobs, we get as many new ones on re lief who have exhausted their say ings," be asserted. "We have become pretty darned hard-boiled on relief. "Even the National Industrial Con ference board says there Is more un employment now than a year ago." he continued. "Business absorbs new business without Increasing employ ment They get a dividend out of it, but no new Jobs are given. We are not feeling any benefit as far as most of our clients are concerned."

BURGESS LIGHTFOOT'S CLEVER TRICK LIGIITFOOT the "Deer Is smart Yes, sir, Lightfoot the Deer is smart He has to be, especially in the bant ing season, to save his life. If he were not smart he would have been I killed long ago. He never makes the foolish mistake of thinking that other [ people are not smart He knew that I that hnnter who had started out to follow hi?n~early that morning was not one to be easily discouraged or to be fooled by simple tricks. He had a very great respect for the smartness of that hunter. He knew that he couldn't afford to be careless for one little minute. The certainty of danger sometimes is easier to bear than the uncertainty of not knowing whether or not there really is any danger. Lightfoot felt that if he could know Just where the ! hunter was, he himself would know better what to do. The hunter might have become discouraged and given up j following him. In that case he could rest and stop worrying. It would be better to know that he was being fol lowed than not to know. liut how was he to find out? Lightfoot kept turning this over and over in his mind as he traveled through the Green For est. Then an idea came to him. "I know what I'll do. I know Just what I'll do," said Lightfoot to him self. "I'll find out whether or not that hunter is still following me and I'll get a little rest Goodness knows, I need a rest." Lightfoot bounded away swiftly and ran for some distance, then he turned and quickly but very, very quietly re turned in the direction from which he had Just come, but a little to one side of his old trail. After a while he saw what he was looking for, a pile of branches which wood choppers had left when they had trimmed the trees they had cut down. This was near the top of a little hilL Lightfoot went up the hill and stopped behind a pile of brush. For a few moments he stood there, perfectly still, looking and lis tening. Then, with a little sigh of re lief he lay down, where, without being in any danger of being seen himself, he could watch his old trail through the hollow at the bottom of the hill. If the hunter was still following him he would pass along through that hol low In plain sight. For a long time I.ightfoot rested comfortably behind the pile of brush. There was not a suspicious sound to show that danger was abroad In the Green Forest. He saw Mr. and Mrs. Grouse fly down across the hollow and ilieon nn o r o mnn cr (tin trooa nn tha nth - er side. He saw Cnc' Billy Possum looking over a hollow tree and guessed that Unc' Billy was getting ready to go into winter quarters. He saw Jumper the Hare squat down under a low hanging branch of a hemlock tree and prepare to take a nap. He heard Drummer the Woodpecker at work drilling after worms In a tree not far away. Little by little Lightfoot grew easy in his mind. It must be that the hunter had become discouraged and was no longer following him. ? T. W. Burs ess.?WNU Service.
