SUPPORT YOUR FRIEND It isn’t often than such a champion of the common people as Franklin D. Roosevelt is elevated to the presidency of the United States. If Roosevelt fails to receive on over whelming vote of confidence this falr men who aspire to public office will take less pains to line up on the side of the people. )

[Roosevelt’s failure to receive an pverwhelmling vote of iconfidence would be taken as an indication that it pays a politician to side in with the forceg of reaction. - The President is entitled to a grear vote of confidence. He has furnished able leadership and his measures have improved hbusiness conditions to such an extent that the financial pages are beginning to be filled again with stories of net profits and dividends.

The only way the voters of this locality can give Roosevelt a vote of confidence is to vote for the.candidates on the Democratic ticket Sher man Minton and James I, Farley are for the New Deal. Arthur R. Robinson and David Hogg are against it. ‘Without a congress which will cooperate with him the President would be helpless. : ! :

Not only for congress should men be elected who are favorable to the New Deal. Local officials in city and county are called upon almost daily to administer the policies ot Roosevelt. If they are not in sympathy with these policies they will seek to discredit them in the administration of them.

There will be plenty of propaganda going around. Roosevelt will be attacked from every point of the compass. Politics is politics, the Treactionaries say. 5

Do not ‘for one minute be deceived by propaganda sent out by the bale to discredit Roosevelt,

Give the President a vote of con~ fidence. Elect Minton and Farley and the other candidates who are in sym-

pathy wifh and who will administer Wew Deal measures as they ought to be administered. .

‘Do not merely give Roosevelt your lukewarm suport. Fight for him. In doing that you are fighting for yourself —Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE

Even at this early stage of the political campaign into which Indiana is entering the people of the state are unquestionably impressed with the contrast between the tactics and opera tions being pursued by the leadership of the two major political parties. On the one side we find the Democratic party leadership pointing to a program of construction designed to meet emergencies never before encountered by the state and credited with spreading ithe benefits of government to the greatest number of the governed, On the other side’ we have the Republican leadership demanding destruwetion of all that has been inaugurated but offering nothing to take its place unlegs it be a return to the inertion of four state administrations which were either afraid or incapable of going ahead. During the past two years it has evidently been the policy of the Republican leadership in Indiana to spread discontent among the people of the . state by a process of sniping. wvery act of the state adminstration y.s been subjected to criticism and regardless of -what was done it has reen magnified to appear as an enor--Inous error. Re‘pu.blicfin leaders have ised that type of strategy to keep the seople from learning the good the wdministration has accomplished for them.

Well do we remember the uproar ‘hat came from Republican state hgad quarters more than a year ago when he dtate aﬂministration put into ef‘ect its reorganization ofi the stata hoard of agriculture. The wisdom »f the state administration is making ‘hose changes was demonstrated in he 1934 session of the Indiana State mair which passed all records for in terest shown, benefits obtained and fficiancy of operation, One observer remarked that new life seemed to have been injected and so it had been.

The Democratic leaders are enter‘ng the campaign in a spirit of inform ing the people of Indiana what has hecn done and why it was done. They are not making extravagant claims or w:sariing that only Democratic lead-~ rghip could do what has been done 2ut the fact is that ‘Republican lead»rship did nothing when it had the npportunjty and now that the chance is gone all that ig heard from that side is criticism without an iota of a program to back it up. There is a difference and it cannot help but make q lasting impression on the voters of the state as they go to the polls.

Are Sentenced to Life

Throe Negroes charged with the murder of Anthony Laßusso of Newark, N. J. Ringling Bros. circus employe during a holdup of the circus train near Howe, Ind., on July 2T, pleaded guilty in the LaGrange circuit court Thursay afternoon and were sentenced to life imprisonment at Michigan City by ‘Judge Clyde C. Carlin. :

The men are James Manuel, James Garrett and John Gordon all from southern states. Within less than 10 minutes after sentence was passed the trio of confessed killers were on their way to the state prison in custody of Sheriff John Henderson.

The Negroes were little perturbed by the court action, showing little concern over the life sentence. A true bill had been returned against the three by the grand jury. On the night of the murder the blacks were holding up those aboard the train when Laßusso offered re-~ gistance. Manuel allegedly was the one who fired the shot which entered Laßusso’s head.

Traific Is Heaviest On Sunday

Traffic on the Indiana state highways is heavier on Sunday than on any day throughout the week accord ig to surveys completed under the direction of the state highway commission, it was said by James D, Adams chairman. The survey shows that pas senger car traffic on the state highways is 67 per cent greater on Sunday than through the week while truck traffic decreases over 50 per cent. The increased flow of passenger car traffic on the state highways beging on Saturday at the same time that truck traffic is decreasing from the average week-day level. The average Saturday flow of passenger cars is 21 per cent greater than for a weekday while truck traffic is approximately 20 per cent less than for week-days. ‘The drop in average truck traffic on Saturday and Sunday makes the tota} traffic flow only 13 per cent greater on Saturday and 42 per cent greater on Sunday. :

BANKS ABLE TOO LOAN Federal Insurance Corporation Head Declares Banks of Nation Too Liquid Banks can lend $5,000,000,000 more to American business and industry to speed recovery without endangering their financial structure, Chairman Leo. T: Crowley of the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation believes. Stressing what he termed ‘“the overliquidity of banks”, Crowley made public the first combined condition gtatement as of June 30 of the 13,867 of the nation’s 15,541 operating banks which are FDIC members.

Crowley said combined deposits of member banks total $35,766,394,000 against which. are $19,660,534,000 in cash and United States government securties. This he explained gives the banks an average liquidity of 54 per cent. . Cash and securities holdings, he said, could be safely reduced to $14,306,400,000 thus throwing the remaining $5,000,000,000 into business and in dustrial loans. 'This would mean a 40 per cent liquidity average. : “Banks are altogether too liquid. It they can find sound loans, they should make them. We can’t have recovery unless loans are made,” the chairman explained. e : ;

FARMER SOLD ON PLAN ' Davis, AAA, Administrator “Sold” On Program of Govern- - ment Chester C. Davis, AAA administrator said he was convinced that Amer?can farmers are ‘‘sold” on production control and will never agree to dissolve the crop control partnership they have formed with the government under the New Deal.

" They will never return to loose uncontrolled production, he believs. “Inthe many contacts Tl've had with the producers who are participating in our programs,” Davis said “I have gained -the impression that they want and will continueto ask the federal government to assist them ina co-operative productive effort.” The administration declared emphatically, however, that no hard nnd fast rules of agricultural policy had been laid down and that the farmers alone could decide the future of AAA. Davis said he was puzzled at cries of regimentation raised against the AAA. He cannot understand the basis ofl such charges. “The people who jump on us for slaughtering 6,000,000 little pigs last fall make me sick,” he observed. “That program saved the corn belt from disaster. I have no apology to make for it. i : “present high hog prices are not the result of the drouth. On the con trary, increased liquidation caused by the drouth tends to depress prices. They are the result of the emenrgency pig slaughter and of the corn-hog program.”

To File Case Against City

Preliminry steps are being taken to file an injunction suit in the Noble circuit court at Albion against the city of Kendallville to enjoin the city counecil from transferring $45,000 from the miscellaneous fund of the general fund into a spectal sanitary sewage treatment plant fund. This is the next step theing taken by citizens who filed a remonstrance with W. A. DeVault city clerk opposing the action of the city council. - At a meeting last Tuesday evening the city council passed a confirmatory resolution authorizing the construection of the sewage treatment plant, and in turn, passed an ordinance authorizing the transfer of the $45,000 to the sewage plant fund. {Rlemonstrators claim the sewage plant is not needed and that it will add a financial burden to taxpayers which is not nécessary under present existing conditions.
