A REPUBLICAN ON THE REPUB
LICAN CANDIDATE
(Nows and Observer)
The severest criticism of President
Hoover that has yet been wriuen in
this campaign was that from the pen
of George W. Norris, Republican Sen
ator from Nebraska, .published m the
current issue of Liberty Magazine.
Senator Norris is perhaps the greatest
independent in America tods y. but the
Republicans of Nebraska have elected
him steadily to the United b’ates Con
gress since 1903. Often a mom i n the
aide of the Republican Old Guard,
Senator Norris was a Republican be
fore Herbert Hoover decided on his
return to America whether he was a
Republican or a Democrat He con
tinues a Republican today but he will
not vo> for Herbert Hooter.
Senator Norris, who warned his
countrymen against Hoover In 1923,
heads his article. “Why I Am A Bet
ter Republican Than President Hoov
er.'* His article is so excellent a state
ment of the issues and personalities in
this campaign that The News and Ob
seerver hopes every Democrat and
every enlightened Reppubllcan will
read it i n Liberty.
For those who cannot. The News and
Observer reprints here a few of Sena
tor Norris' statements:
I support Franklin D. Roosevelt on
a wet platform, in spite of the fact
that my personal predlle' tlon are dry
. . . Other things being equal. I
might have supported Herbert Hoover
on a dry platform. I might have sup
pored him on a wet platform. But I
could not support him on the dubious
plank which, wish the aid of Federal
officeholders and the delegates from
the rotten boroughs Q f Republicanism,
he forerd upon a hamstrung conven
tion .
Mr. Hoover is the J&nus of politics.
One face beams upon the d.ys. an
other smiles equivocally upon the wets, i
He has learned the art of carrying
water on bot hshoulders. At present
he carries upon on* shoulder a pitcher
of water, while upon the other he bal
anced a jug painted to resemble a
pitcher of beer. I do not like Mr.
Hoover's attitude on water and water
power. Mr. Hoover would be per
fectly willing to dispense beer to the
people if he could turn over the water
in the land to the special Interests Mr.
Hoover is always two-faced, always
equivocal, except when he champions
big business. With a singleness of
purpose worthy of a better cause he
plays the devoted henchman of high
finance. One eye in each of his faces,
no matter what his lips may say, al
ways winks at the
power trust and at Wall Street.
I take m<y stand with the Republi
canism of Lincoln against the Repub
licanism of Hoover. What does it
profit us if we strike the chains of
slavery from the black man and then
allow powerful rrvonepolles to forge the
same chains upon our own necks?
Lincoln emancipated the black
slaves Hoover refuses to take a single
step to fre the whlte-colAi slave, the
wage slave, and the agricultural slave.
It is possible that there was a time
when civilization could not exist with
out slaves. But that time is dead. The
Inventive spirit of man has given us a
force strong enough to make ail man
kind prosperous and free. By enslav
ing electricity we can emancipate
labor from economic slavery. But If
this necessity of human life, which
should redeem us from drudgery, is
owned and controlled by monopoly,
slavery continues. Mr. Hoover and
his adherents have done everything
in their power to withhold the bene
fits of our national resources from the
people.
Roosevelt has fought the power trust
at every step. He has fought the
power tfust and has aided the farm.
Hoover has done nothing to lighten
the farmers' load. I parted company
with Herbert Hoover four years ago
because of bis failure to recognise that
the Increasing demoralisation of agri
culture was a menace three* eelng not
merely the farmer k his humble hut
but the banker sitting astride the
world in the topless towers of the fi
nancial districts. Mr- Houser could
cm nothing except our artificial pros
perity, inflated like a balloon by high
power salesmen ranging from Pres
klai* of the United States to Wall
Sheet touts. Prioked by the distress
of the termer, the bubble burst.
Although his promises were as vague
aad indefinite as hie mentality, the
people accepted his word. Millions of
our people were persuaded that Hoov
er had some way of saving the situa
tion. I did not share this fond be
lief. But I warned In vain. The
country, including the termers, follow
ed the Hoover bandwagon. Alas, the
"two chickens In every pot" and the
banishment of Idleness and unhappi
ness from our country, whlcn he pro
mised in his oratory, were teiry tales,
now known as such, even to children.
* ■ ww
The Reconstruction Finance Corpor
ation may do a great deal of good.
But it Is expensive. IV commences
at the top Instead of at the bottom.
The theory of Mr. Hoover and those
who backed these propositions was that
the way to bring prosperity was to
loan the money, wrung from our peo
ple by taxation, to big financial Insti
tutions and that by making some peo
ple prosperous a few of the crumbs of
prosperity would trickle down to the
common man. The railroads and the
banks got the money. But it has not
trickled down. The big financial in
stitutions, aided by Mr. Hoover, were
largely the same institutions which
were Instrumental in overthrowing the
chariot of prosperity.
When It came to pay for three gov
ernmental extravagances, Mr. Hoover
opposed an increased tax on large In
comes. He also objected to an inherit
ance tax taking away, at the death of
rhe present owners, large slices of the
wealth accumulated by virtue of un
fair competition and special privilege.
The radicals have been accused of
wishing to soak the rich. There Is
little or no choice between this and
the Hoover slogan of "Soak the poor.”
I believe in “soaking” no one. but If
I must make a choice, I would not ex
empt tfce rich at the expense of the
poor.
One of the fundamental causes of
this great depression is the gradual
accumulation of wealth in the hands
of a small group. The *amo cause has
ruined other nations as mighty as
ours. The enormous income of a few
millionaires as compared with the in
come of those who toil, whether in
the shop or behind the. plow, is start
lingly revealed by the statistics of th e
Bureau of Internal Revenue. In 1929
five hundred and four mjlliona.res had
an income equal i n value to the entire
wheat and cotton crop of the United
States. The net income of five hun
dred and four people was equal to the
gross Income of more than two mil
lion people.
Mr. Roosevelt, too. Is human. Mr.
Roosevelt, too, will make errors. But
he has the heart and the vision that
Hoover lacks. He understands the I
plight otf the farmer and the interre
lation between agriculture and indus
try. The fanner buys In a protected
market and sella in a world market,
which we cannot control. Whenever
we progretetves attempt to remedy the
wrongs of the fanner, wc always met
•wit tithe determined opposition of the
combined wealth and the combined
political machines of the country. And
in every fight againsti us President
Hoover has been the leader. I expect
a more Intelligent attitude from Mr.
Roosevelt.
How. then, can any patriotic man
support Mr. Hoover merely because
he Is a Republican?

LEGISLATIVE PLAN
BEING WORKED OUT
BY SCHOOL FOLKS
(Continued from Page One.)
time to put over even these three ob
jectives in the 1933 general Assembly.
For present observations are that sen
timent is in Javor of additional cuts
in school expenses, including salaries,
rather than for being in favor of any
increases. Nor Is any effort looking
toward a State-supported eight
months school term of the type be
ing advocated by the school people
very likely .even if it should be found
to be constitutional, which is doubt
ful. Indications also are that the
Board of Equalization has become
more popular than ever with the tax
payers because of the millions of dol
lars of school expense it has lopped
off and that it is not in any great
danger of being abolished or curtail
ed.
If the school forces would favor a
State-wide eight months school term,
■with six months supported by the
State and two months supported by
the counties with a small ad valorem
tax of not more than 20 cents, they
would be advocating something that
would result in some genuine tax re
duction over the entire state, it Is
agreed here. For a term of this sort
would automatically abolish the 1,-
080 special tax and special charter
districts and the taxes levied in these
districts.
But the school people do not "want
a dual supported eight months school
term, they admit, because they do not
want to have to depend upon the
counties for any part of the salaries.
Inetaed, they want a State-supported
eight months school term, to be paid
for from State funds, so that their
■pay checks will come every month
from the State Treasurer, They do not
want to take a chance on th« uncer
tainty of county tax collections, al
though ail county and city officials
must take such a chance.
It is agreed here that the school
people would stand a good chance to
get eight months school term, support
ed by both the State and counties, If
they would advocate it as an economy
and tax reduction measure. For esti
mates made here indicate that a State
wide eight months school term, un
■ der State administration and super
vision, could be provided for not more
than $22,000,000 a year, as compared
with the present cost of $24,000,000 a
year for the six months and extended
term. Bug If the longer term is adygr
caied only ip order to assure tsar hers,''
principal* and superintendents of two
months more pay, it is not likely to
here.
Thus most of the opinion in politi
cal circles here Is that the teachers
are going to have rather hard sled
ding to put over teir program.
