Only 11 Can Run Faat The-State of the Union The Supreme court decision re jecting AAA, the “agricultural ad justment act," affects* every American direct ly. Issued just as the President announced his program to bat ata ce the na tional budget within one thou sand million dol lars, the decision upsets that ad ministration pro gram. Men with large incomes, of whom Arth_r Brl,b*M few survive, may ] worry, for the decision takes from the government seven hundred mil lion a year of processing taxes that will have to be made good else where. The manufacturers’, or processing, tax, handed along to the little people, was, in reality, a sales tax on life's necessities—cotton cloth, flour and meat The question is, Who will pro vide cash promised the farmers, since the Supreme court will not sanction the sales tax, disguised as a "pross” tax? Whence will come the hundreds of millions the government owes to farmers under its AAA promises and has not yet paid? The farmers did their part the government could hardly fall to do its part by paying. International News Service sports department shows that out of about 1,800,000,000 human beings on earth only 11 are known that can run h mile at really high speed. Of these not more than four have any chance of beating an individual named Glenn Cunningham of Kansas. You would think that the billion unknown uncounted among the so called “backward races,” many with native energy, free of civilization’s handicaps, could easily be trained to beat the 11 fast ones, but It Is not probable. • The President's address “on the state of the Union” was, like nearly all Presidential speeches, an address on the state of the administration. Discussing danger of war, if it is true that. “83 or 90 per cent _qf all. the people in the world are con tent with the territorial limits of their respective nations,” that would leave only 10 or 15 per cent of the aggressive type. Lloyd George, playing a little poli tics with his friend Prime Minister Baldwin, exults In the noble moral uprising of the British, rejecting the terrible, Immoral plan to di vide Ethiopia and placate Italy. Something “without precedent,” Lloyd George calls it. Where England is concerned, “di viding up” is, indeed, .Almost with out precedent. England’s custom as a rule is to swallow things whole, as she did with the Transvaal, In dia, and other territories that have kept her old fighting flag always in the sunshine. ' The Methodist Episcopal church is proud to announce in Nashville, Tenn., that it begins 1936 with 2,783,269 regularly enrolled mem bers, An Increase over the preceding year of 31,298, with 21,361. baptized Infants not Included. This is the reply of the Methodist Episcopal ians to the “high church” Episco palians of the English church that suggests giving up Protestantism al together as a failure. Children will learn with pleasure that it is not necessary to eat spin ach unless you like it. Other veg etables take the place of spinach with a menacing person called “Pop Eye.’! The government, through WPA, will print a book on what to eat and how to eat it One well known New York physician ventures the opinion that spinach contains an ob jectionable amount of “vegetable uric acid.” A twenty-year-old Poughkeepsie girl “from the other side of the track,” working for $6 a week, was invited by a young man to get into his automobile. “Want to go some where for a drink, baby?” was the invitation formula. In the morning the unfortunate girl was found in the man’s car in a garage, dead, horribly mistreated and beaten to death. The excuse for mentioning so dreadful a crime is that it ought to warn all girls foolish enough to accept Invitations from unknown men. New Jersey says the execution of Hauptmann, close at hand, will be no theatrical show. No woman re porter will be allowed to witness Hauptmann’s death, an' excellent Idea, although some young ladles' will not think so. Female report ers, let ns hope, will have babies later on. Watching a miserable creature writhing in the electric chair would not be good for the atom, ilia Budget May Be Balanced in ’36 Success Depends on Action of Congress and Supreme Court; Deficit Reduced ’' By EARL GODWIN WASHINGTQN.—If congress and the Supreme court do' not spoil the pattern, the dear old budget Is right on the brink of being balanced. Out of the tremendous array of figures which Roosevelt sent to congress on the second day of this second ses sion, the main theme of the budget balancing story can be told In these brief statements: The needs of the government for the next fiscal year are to be $5,069,000,000, which Is a reduction of $2,600,000,000. The government’s receipts are estimat ed at $5,654,000,000, which is $5, 000,000 more than the government would need were It not for the job less. So we are balancing the budget with $5,000,000 to spare— except that we still will have to spend a billion or so on relief. Re member that! If congress appro priates more than that and puts us further in debt—that's congress, not Roosevelt. If the Supreme court knocks out the processing taxes, then there will have to be money raised to pay It—and Roosevelt rec ommends taxes and not borrowed money for that item. So keep these simple figures In mind—they will answer complicated problems. Also the government’s deficit Is coming down; it was $4,000,000,000 In 1934; it was $3,500,000,000 In 1935; $3,200,000,000 In the present fiscal year, and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1937, It will be ap proximately a billion—the cost of relief—unless a voracious congress goes on a spending spree. WHY THE DEFICIT The country has always had a deficit in the budget when business suffered a depression; the reason being that the government steps in to ward off the collapse—and spends the money. Somehow or other our reaction ary and conservative statesmen down here do not see the point. They are overwhelmed with their own importance, and imagine that the budget is balanced when a Re publican Is elected President. There has been so much confu sion over our national bookkeeping, fhat a simple-statement of the case may be helpful at this time when the budget is in the public eye more than ever. The sharp trouble occurred In 1929, and that year also marked the enormous national in come of more than eighty billions of dollars . . . money made by American industry. We swelled up like a balloon . . . and burst . . . and the process of deflation reduced the national income of business from 80 billions to 38 billions for 1932. That is the simple money story of that agonizing depression. The budget was going haywire then and even as late as 1932 the financial leaders of the country were tugging and hauling trying to keep the budget balanced, and were in a panic. In that awful year 1932 there were more than 25, 000 bankruptcies—failures leaving three-quarters of a billion dollars In business debts. The bank fail ure record was appalling. There were 6,054 bank failures from March, 1929, to March, 1933, which represents three-fifths of all such failures from Wilson to Roosevelt. The Hoover administration was trying to stop the deflation, but its methods now appear to be in adequate. They remind me of peo ple trying to stem a flood with bags of mud . . . and hot using enough. The thing the Roosevelt administra tion did was to use bigger methods and more material. The national Income then began to rise. From the meager 38 billions (which Is really poverty to us), It rose to 50 billions in 1934, and will be close to 60 billions in 1935. Now what has been the real cost of this high pressure rescue work? The constant reiteration of billions In the headlines has the effect of stupefying the people, but forget all else and take the statement of Marriner Eccles, governor of the federal reserve board and a leading expert. Eccles told the American Bankers’ association at New Or leans that between February 28. -1933, and September 30, 1935, the gross interesting-bearing debt rose $7,884,000,000, but that the net in crease, after deducting the treas ury's cash on hand, the Increase in the value of gold, and the govern ment’s assets such as the securities held against loans In the RFC, etc., was three billions of dollars. That Is all. It Is less than the deficit turned over to Roosevelt by Hoo ver. And much of this so-called debt Is offset by good solid proper ty and good securities. But even with the gross debt in crease of nine billions, don’t over look the fact that while we were piling up that debt we were also Increasing our national Income 22 billions; an Increase of 20 billions In the value of listed stocks on the stock exchanges and seven and one half billions in the value of bonds. And the national morale was saved —particularly ip the government’s financial program which spared mil lions of families from eviction. Con trast these strong and simple facts with the 15 billions of the people'8 money squandered In foreign and other securities by widows and orphans who were led to Invest their savings In these financial cats and dogs. The big banks crammed this stuff down the throats of the little bankers, and the public bought It and went broke. All this, was done with the apparent okay of the three administrations preceding the Roosevelt era. Now the Roosevelt ’program is being assailed by the crowd that was In the business of selling that worthless stuff. • • • CONFIDENCE IN BANKS In this blessed country today there Is so much money to go ’round that there are more than fifty million bank accounts—would you believe It? I would not believe It until I checked on It at the treasury and found there were that many de positors In banks with Insured de posits, and a million more In banks which will not Insure deposits. This means an end to worry about closed banks for those who demand such safety. One of the strongest things this administration has done Is to remove the terror of loss of savings by bank closings; and one of the tough things to re member about pre-New Deal bank ing was the soft soaping some of the bankers gave their clients just prior to closing for good. There Is no guarantee that banks will not close their doors, but if they do, in these Insured banks depositors are safe for their full amount up to $5,000. If one of these many banks falls, the government takes charge and immediately pays off the Insured depositors—there is no such thing as waiting three months to a year for the thing they call “liquida tion.” There Is a growing confi dence In banks as depositories. It seems to me this Is one of the bull’s eye hits of the administration. MAIL GROWING HEAVIER If your family did not receive 113 pieces of mall per person In the year ended June 30, 1935, you were not up to the average. That includes letters, papers and par cels, and is what I boil down from the tremendous mass of figures in the annual postal report. Mail is growing heavier, due t'o better times. The paid postal service made more than $4,000,000, which goes back Into the treasury, but there Is always the expense of free mail service to the government, to con gressmen, and to papers within the county of publication. The govern ment Is also spending money to de velop airmail and at the same time develop the science and business of aviation. We now, have airmail serv ice coverJng*-t!re entire-country, and will soon girdle the world with it. That’s American pioneering. Amer icans bought $473,462,512.50 worth of postage stamps In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1935—the highest in four years. Stamp collectors con tributed to the postal service by buying $2,340,484 worth for collec tion purposes—all clear profit. • • • LAN DON’S RECORD The Republicans favoring Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas as the G. O. P. nominee to run against Roosevelt must be scared stiff by now, lest the Democrats dig up any more of Landon's liberal and pro-New Deaf ish utterances. They are now say ing that Landon is not a good pub lic speaker, and would have to con duct a sort of intimate man-to-man front porch campaign, but he has done enough speaking in the past to locate himself solidly on both sides of many current questions. In addition to being an arid Kansas dry who will have to make himself solid with the wets, we find the homespun Alf now taking a stand with other Republicans against this so-called centralization of power; they don’t like the authority given to Roosevelt to stop the panic and feed the jobless. But three years ago, February 11, 1933, the governor told a gathering of Republicans at Kansas City, Mo., that he approved the emergency powers conferred upon President Roosevelt. But another year comes and we find Alf bitten with the Presiden tial bee. He now addresses young Republicans with the charge of "pa ternalism, bureadcracy and central ization of government.” Those were the words he used- on December 5, 1935, to condemn the things he saw as common sense use of government before he was located as a possible Presidential candidate. But alas for Landon. Just one year to a day previously he had wired Congressman William P. Cole,! chairman of the oil Investigating j committee of the house of repre- j sentatlves. Cole wanted Landon to come to Washington to testify about conditions In the oil indus try—Landon being an oil operator. The governor could not come, but he wired back a telegram which adorns the public record for all time. In It he credits the adminis tration’s regulatory measures in the oil Industry with “having been one of the largest factors toward In creasing the purchasing power of the entire Southwest . . . proving that progress toward recovery can be made by honest, co-ordinated ef forts of states and federal admin istration and Industry." Oil Operator Landon recognized that the government's “regulatory” and “regimenting” policies had saved the oil business. Politician Landon sees the matter In another Ugbt • WMtlrs Mair«pkptr Union. QiMmi 3VENTURERS’ II CLUB m By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter. * YOU know, it’s the simplest things that make the most thrill-; ing adventures. You, yourself, although you probably don’t; know it, have something around your house that you’ve been: looking at and handling for years, which will one day form the; fodder for your life’s most thrilling experience. Watch that elec-: trie flat-iron, Mom. One of these days it’s liable to give you a! scare. And Pop, don’t monkey with that garden hose, either.' There’ll come a time when it rears up on its haunches and' bounces you right into a hair-raising situation. You don’t believe me? Well, ask Caroline Rebhan what she thinks; of those simple little household items. Caroline never got scared of the] bottles In her medicine cabinet, either. There wasn’t any poison In any; of them and she thought they were perfectly safe. But there came a1 time when those same medicine bottles furnished a terrifying five minutes for the whole Rebhan family. It happened on a Sunday morning in July, 1912. Caroline was Just a young bride then. She had only been married a couple months. She and her husband had moved Into a new house. There were rugs to be laid and furniture to be moved and a million other things that had to be done all at once. Caro line was so confused that a lot of things slipped her mind. And among them were those bottles she had taken from the medicine cabinet in their last home. That particular home they had moved Into was a small flat, and one' of the troubles with It was that there was no medicine cabinet. What’ to do with the medicine bottles? ' Well—there was an old coal-burning1 stove In the kitchen, and, since It was never used In the summertime,' Caroline stowed those bottles away In the oven until such time as she! could arrange a better place for them. Then, in the general mlx-up, she forgot all about them. It Was All the Fault of Apprentice’s Housekeeping. All that happened in June. It was a month later, in the middle of. July, when the adventure really took place. Then, one Sunday morning, Caroline’s husband, with nothing else to do, decided that he ought to try that stove out and see if it was any good. Bill—that’s Caroline’s husband—lit the fire. For an hour the old stove heated up, and then they heard a bang that seemed to come from somewhere inside it. Both Bill and Caroline laughed at that, and Bill said, “Gee, there must be dynamite in that coal.” Then followed another bang—and another. “And still,’’ says Caroline, "it didn’t dawn on me that it might have been the medicine. It wasn’t until later, when Bill decided to shave, that I remembered those bottles.’’ When Bill started to shave he remembered an old razor strop that he hadn’t seen since they moved from the old home, and asked Caroline if she knew what had happened to it “When Bill asked me that,” Caro Out It Came and Then—BANG—It Burst! line says, “my face went white. ‘No,’ I told him, ‘but your razor strop Is in that oven.’ Then, In as few words as possible* I told him what I had done. He laughed at first, but”— Deadly Explosives—in a Lighted Stove! Yes, Bill laughed at first, but not after Caroline had told him the whole story. For among those medicine bottles was one containing alcohol and another—a large one—that was full of benzine. Either one of those bottles could produce an explosion that would have blown the old stove to pieces. And the wonder of it all was why they had not already exploded. Bill’* face was as white as Caroline’s when he got the whole story. Any minute one of those bottles might go up, wreck the kitchen and set fire to the house. There was no time to call the fire department—not a second to spare at all. He ran outside, got a long-handled shovel and opened the oven door. Caroline stood In the kitchen doorway while he did it—her hands over her face, expecting any moment to see flame streak out of that oven and engulf poor Bill. Removing Potential Death by the Shovelful. Bill pushed the shovel into the oven and picked up a bottle. Out It came, and then—BANG—it burst, scattering glass all over the kitchen. Bill thrust the shovel in again and picked up another bottle. That, too, exploded as soon as It hit the cold air outside the oven. Glass showered over Bill—even went down his collar and got under his clothes—but he held his ground. The worst was still to come. Way back In the rear of the oven^were those deadly bottles of benzine and alcohol. If they burst coming out, as the others had done—well—neither Bill nor Caroline wanted to think of that. One by one the bottles came out—and one by one they burst as soon as they left the oven. Then they came to the alcohol and the benzine. Says Caroline: “We stood looking at each other for a second, and then Bill said, ‘Stand over by the window and pray.’ I did. He reached into the oven and out came the bottle of benzine. Nothing happened, and I gave a sob of relief. He set the benzine bottle in a pall and reached In after the alcohol, and this time the sweat was pouring down his face. It had to be done slowIjFr—carefully, and his hand shook so that I was sure that he would drop' it. But the second bottle came out like the first, and Bill put it In the pall with the bottle of benzine. “And what I can’t understand,” says Caroline, “Is how those two bot tles stayed whole when all the others exploded.” Well, maybe, it was the prayer, Caroline. ©—WNU Service. Hackney, Horse of Style When it comes to “knee action” the Hackney is king of ail horse flesh, says a writer in Hoard’s Dai ryman. Noted as a harness horse of great style, he lifts his knees and folds his hocks. Originated in England where lie was devel oped from good driving mares bred to thoroughbred stallions for park, cob, and carriage service. Name comes from hack, meaning a horse suitable for hauling light car riages. Modern Hackney has been standardized Into carriage type and pony type. Preferred colors: bays, browns, and chestnuts, with white stockings and a star for show horses. Discovered South Africa The early Portuguese navigators were the first to reach the vicinity of South Africa. In 1486 Bartholo mew Diaz rounded the Cape of Good Hope, and 11 years later Vas co de Gama made the same voy age. The first vessels to anchor in Table bay were those of the ex pedition headed by Cornelius Hout man, a Dutchman, in 14U5. In 1648 a Dutch ship was wrecked in Table Bay and all on board safely reached land. They remained there five months nntli the next vessel ar rived. This was the beginning of the Idea of colonizing the country. The pioneer settlers in Cape Col only arrived in three Dutch ships on April 7, 1652.
