WHICH DO YOU FAVOR!?

Political parties do not live without financing. Neither do they conduect campaigns for advancement of their principles without meeting the necessaryl costs for .carrying their message to the people. There is.no denial of that fact by either Democrats or Republicans. : - But there are two different ways of raising funds for the support of political parties. - Recently we have heard much criticism from Republican speakers about the Hoosier Democratic Club’s plan of having a yearround voluntary sustaining membership. Persons in state and other Democratic administration jobs have been making small, but regular month 1y contriputions to the party’s success. That makes for a free, independent Democratic party and there are no obligations to be paid back after election day to corporations, lobbyists and selfish money interests. That is the plan of Indiana Democrats. :

Let’s take a look at the Congression al Record and see how the Repuplican party financing plan works. On July 16 1932 it was read into the Congressional Record that Her. bert Hoover’s 1928 campaign was financed, not by sparing contributions from the rank and file of Republicans, but by twenty«four millionaires and large corporation heads who paid in $477,000 t othe Republican national war chest. But, the record showed, these same men and their corporations got back from the government in the form of federal tax refunds something like $114,655,279. Here are the names, the sums they contributed to put Hoovér over and the amount of tax refunds they received: Harry Guggenheim, $25,000; tax re fund, $210,555. Jeremiah Milbank $25,000; tax refund, $891,443. : ' John W. Willys $25,000; tax refund ssTme: - . W. R. and H. M. Timken $10,000; tax refund $370,131. 0. P.'and'M. J. Van Sweringen $65,000; tax refund $353864 “Jobn D. Rockefeller and John D.

Rockefeller, Jr., $25,000; tax refund, $8,546,309, - - : Henbert N. Straus, $25,000; tax refund, $86,736. ' William Nelson Cromwell, $25,000; tax refund, $222,652 : J. R. Nutt, $25,000; tax refund, $83,669. : Harvey S. Firestone $25,000; tax refund, $2,960,000. g iCharles Hayden $25,000; tax refund $1,876,000. . _ : Géorge F. Baker $20,000; tax refund 15100,000,000. ' Senator Arthur Robinson and those who now complain of the Democratic {inancing plan were themselves in office or working for their party when the millionaires and fat corporations did the Republican financing. And for what? The record is plain: to get back $240 from the federal government for every $1 they gave the G, O. Py

A STORY IN HEADLINES

In spite of the carping criticisms of the leaders of the G. O. P. the Constitution marches on, keeping step to “Happy . Days Are Here Again.” 'To see this ome need only sick up a copy of his daily newsnaper and scan the headlines. For instance, “Northwestern Life rmsurance Reports Record Peak in sales,” “Market Reflects Sentiment “hange,” “Recent Broad Recovery Is \ttributed to Better Prospect for Railoads and Improved Business, “In--rease in Bank Clearings Shown,’ “L.and Banks in Better Shape,” “Busi less Horizon Has Brighter Hue” Stcady Business Rise in U. S. Seen™ ‘Three Times as Many Autos Bought ‘Livestock Prices Continue Upward” “College Enrollment Breaks All-Time Record.” ,

And so the barometer of business ontinues to forecast the steady reurn to prosperity under Franklin De ano Roosevelt and the New Deal. President Roosevelt’s -only enemies .cem to be the Tory Republicans, he Communists and Little Artie Robnson. .

“In the presence of this party, the apitalist trembles for the Constitu‘ion. It is a solemn moment when a ‘rust trembles for the American governnent.”” Fred Landis in 1912. It took you a long time to switch horses, didn’t it Mr. Landis? , : Business Horizon Has Brighter JHue—{Headline. And all of Arti's flag waving, 'Constitution tearing an’t dim the outlook.

Liltle Artie has been using a great number of big “isms” in his speeches Notahle are the omission of any' reference to “Hooverism, Mellonism, Insullism, Jacksonism and Coffinism.”

The Senate investigéxtion of munifion makers’ intrigues indicate that the G. O. P. high command did lot

of. Constitution gtretching from 19211933. It shows that the adage “Wiheat's a constitution among friends” is a pretty good slogan for ‘he Republicans.

Ravmond Springer, who has started his campaign for Governor in an off year and who probably is respon¢ible for the Republican attacks on Governor Paul V. McNutt, said in & recent speech that we have more un employment under Roosevelt that we had under Hoover . Wonder if this man who lost to Governor McNutt two years ago recalls Hoover’s visit to Connersville in 1932 when they had to fire up the boilers in the idle factories in order to get up enough steam to give a whistle salute. Factories in Connersville can salute President Roosevelt, should he come through, day or night.

Shortage of Seed Corn

Thousands of Indiana farmers are facing a serious shortage of seed corn for next year’s planting as a result of the damage from drouth and the failure of corn to pollinate normally due to the extreme heat.

This unfortunate situation may be pariatlly if not wholly averted by prompt action on the part of corn growers within the next few weeks if they will gbserve the following suggestions given by the agronomy department of Purdue university: First, each farmer who has coru that has earned at all should go over his field carefully and find out if any of these ears are well enough filled {or seed. Such corn will usually be found in the low places that were better supplied with moisture. An ear need_not be fully filled out at the butt or tip so long as there are well filled kernels on any part of the ear as 4 result of complete pollination. Partial ly filled ears carry the same potential capacity to produce as if the ears were normally ~developed, although 1 large round - kernels will be difificalt to pant with an edge drop panter. Second, if there is insufficient seed in the new crop enough corn from the 1933 crop, where available should be reserved. for ngkt year’s planting. Such geed, if it gave good stands this year and has /heen well stored since, should be satisfactory for use next year. , Third, farmers who have a good | supply of old corn or a prospective supply of seed from the new crop, particularly early strains, are urged to save more seed than will be needed in order to provide seed for less fortunate neighbors or farmers in adjacent regions, Early corn will be in | greatest demand due to the greater ‘geverity of the drouth in northern In- | diana. , L e—————— | Lockjaw Puzzles.
