Tuesday, June 16. 1936 Investing Bonus Money The l/nited Stairs Government is turning loose about two billion dollars this week in final settlement of the adjusted service certificates of the soldiers who fought in the World W ar. The average for each vet eran is lietween 3-400 and $500. ____ The problem of investment is being given serious consideration by a large proportion of those without homes or farms, and while the amounts to each veter an will hardly but large homes or farms, yet they will give thousands of people something to start on. The more home owners we have, the stronger our nation will lie It is natural that we should love our own home- more than we do rented homes, and it is hardly |iossible for a man to invest in anything more value than a home. The Convention Is Over Now thai ihrgreat KepuWican-. National Conven tion has adjourned, we are delighted that they were wiseVnuugh to abandon their old iron-bound, rusty planks that the party has loved and revered so long, and that they came out with endorsement for the more lilieral and much safer and Iretler planks of the New Ileal. Had it not la-en that they were so close ly- wangled. 1 lu x would, dualities- have run off with the whole Democratic platform. Of morse. the RrpttWicaTrs cannot win, regardless of what kind of a plattorm they adopt. The Hoover just around-lhe corner broken promises gave the peo ple such a gorge of Republican fare that they are go ing to steer i lear of their |>romises for some time to :ome vet. It seems that the only thing that will satisfy Mus wilini is for all the nations with any interest in Africa, ihe Mediterranean Sea. or much of Kurope, to give jp the gho-t. lie down and let Mussolini tie them fast rnd solid. And it may be too late sometime for those unions to call a halt. The 13 "Unconstitutional States' ri,ild*ctpkw Record. Speaking in Little Rock, Ark., last night. President Roosevelt, in his quiet, convincing way, discussed a topic which nary a speaker at the Cleveland Conven tion woo hi <tare touch upon, While the Old Guard s|iellbinders [raid clumsy hom age to "Jefferson Democracy" in their frantic bid for volts, Ptfsident Rome celt called attention to the fart that 1J of our 48 States ar probably unconstitutional. Speaking of Jefferson's decision to complete the Djuisiana Purchase: "Jefferson was told by tome of his closest advisers and friends that the Constitution of the Cnited States contained no clause authorizing him to purchase or ac quire additional territory: and that because sjiecific authority did not exist under that great charter of government, none could be exercised. "Jefferson replied that there were certain inherent qualities of sovereignty which could not be separated ftom a Federal government, if such a Federal govern ment was permanently to endure; furthermore, if be delayed the emporar of the French might change his mind and the great territory west of the Missiasippi be lost forever to American expansion. "He and Robert R. Livi ngston put the treaty through; the next Congress appropriated the money; nobody carried the case to the Supreme Court; and, as a result, Louisiana and Arkansas and Missouri and Iowa and Minnesota and Kansas and Montana and North Dakota and South Dakota and the larger por tions of Wyoming and Colorado and Nebraska and Otiifctfjii lythe Stan and Stripes today." What of today? Mr. Roosevelt pointed out: "Prices, wages, hour of labor, condition of employ ment, social security, in abort the enjoyment by all men of thetr constitutional guaranties of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiaraa?these questions, so deli cate in their economic balance that any change in their status is redacted with the speed of light from Maine to California we an commencing to solve." The President might have added that solutions are h?prrii at every turn by the Supreme Court. Aptly, however, he aaet the new G. O. P. clamor (or States' logic: If local governasenl, if State government, after effort, is uaable to better conditions, to raise or restore purchasing power, then surely it would take a foolish and short-sighted man to say that it is no concern of the national Govern ment itself." ? * ? The C. O. P. Keynote Philadelphia Record. t Senator Steiwar spent 65 long minutes Tuesday night keynoting against the New Deal, after having spent three long years voting for almost every one of its major measures. In a beautiful display of political flexibility, he at tacked every New Deal measure at Cleveland just as unreservedly as he had backed alrrtost every New Deal measure at Washington. Swee|>ing approval gave way to sweeping condemnation; |>ure white became pure black overnight. The man who voted for NRA denounced "regimen tation of business." The man who voted to override the bonus veto denounced the unbalanced budget. The man who voted for the AAA denounced the New Deal's farm program. 'The man who voted for the Thomas inflation amendment denounced the menace of inflation. The man who'voted for the silver pur chase act denounced the monetary jrrogram. Tl is hard lu luiiiiiiciit on suih <ui amazing show of sudden hate, turned on instaner at the order of Steiwar's G. 0. P. bosses. Hard, because we would like to avoid falling into the sweeping denunciations, the unerelieved condemnation in which the Senator reveled over a nation-wide hook-up. We should like to be able to say that here or there in the speech was this or. that constructive idea; here or there was a positive suggestion upon which we could act or about which we could hold a discussion. Vet we are stumped. The problem is not' to find fault with Steiwar's keynote. The problem is to find something *in it worthy of praise, or even serious con sideration. We can't do it. Keynote means keynote. Ij this keynote address sets the pace for the Repuldii\ffi campaign, it will he a campaign of appeals to preplUice instead of appeals to reason, a /oam-at-lhe-mouth campaign of hate and nonsense. ??????? 1 ? Steiwar began, incredibly, by denying there been a recovery. He continued, incredibly, by ignoring the black years 1929-1932 and by talking of the "debacle ot March, 1933, when a l'resident-elect without a conscience refused to cooperate with a President who had a conscience." Warming up, Stewar fought the Revolution and the Civil War over again, bled at Valley Fiftge and at Gettysburg, wired the American eagle for sound and made it squawk as never before. At one point it seemed likely he might .get down to cases. He outlined the "principles" U|x>n which the Republican Party must go forward. He seemed on the verge of offering something constructive. But it didn't jell. ' -> i The "principles" were a demand for "an honest money and banking system . . . not subjetl to the sin ister control of any group." Did he mean a return to gold? No; for he denounced the purchase of foreign gold by America. If against gold, would he be for a managed currency? N'o; for he was against con trol by "politicians at Washington." . Steiwar then jxtinted out that "foreign trade may create either an asset or a liability." He declared "taxation . . . billets bureaucrats on every family." He was for avoiding foreign entanglements and vague ly against monopoly. Steiwar did come out for the principle that "/arm income must be kept in balance with industrial in come." This, at least, is an advance for the Repub licans. In the twenties they denied there leas a farm problem, let farm income slide down to tin vanishing point. Now, at least, Steiwar admits something must be done. But, beyond such generalities as "increas ing export trade," "new uses for farm products," and "protecting the farmer's domestic market," he didn't say what. 't hus endeth tne "principles. -i It is to the vituperation that we must turn (or some hint as to what Steiwar and his ti. <>. I1. colleague.'? leally want. In them we find several clear indications. First, a vicious note in the constantly recurring de nunciations of "aliens." Steiwar pictured the New Deal as permitting hordes of aliens illegally here, to increase our crime problem and our relief rolls. He painted the New Deal itself as "alien" and "Euro pean." He gave the nod to Hearst by declaring that Roosevelt used the "tactics of the Soviet Union." He even pictured Roosevelt as a menace to "religious lib erty." Second, his incessant carping about Government ex l>enditures, though Steiwar himself voted to override the bonus veto. He demanded "mote relief to the destitute at less cost to the taxpayers." which miracle he would accomplish by letting ReoublK? of Democrats administer relief. He went for babes in "cradles decorated with debt," promised tax de creases and debt decreases. Unemployed know what to expect from such a presentation. Steiwar, poor fellow, was in a hard spot. He went along with the President for three years. He even voted for the radical farm mortgage moratorium act, which the President opposed. And Tuesday night he had to disown it att. Ewiy time he sacked Roose velt he punched himself in the nose. And this was the best keynoter the G. O. P. could find. It it through these vituperations thai the Steiwar soul shines clear. We see a mam who wool* stop all reform, who WOUid an back to the tomliliam and the philosophy that goat us am depression, who would go to the people on an appeal to prejudice, with a Red scare m one hand and a mush-mouth promise of "jobs for everybody in the other. If it is going to be that kind of campaign, the jig is hp now. The American people showed what they think of such stuff in the national reaction of disgust that followed a somewhat similar spanch by one Alfred E. Smith at a meeting of that G. O. P. holding ceaa pany, the Liberty NOTICE or SALE Under and by virtue of a judg ment of the superior court of Mar tin County in an action entitled "Federal Land Bank of Columbia vs. N. L.
