THE HUNGER MARCHES The one outstanding fact about the two so called ‘‘hunger marches” which have been precipitated • upon Washington this winter that the country should not fail to note is that both of them had their genesis in politics and not in unemployment. The first expedition was frankly avowed to be communistic in its inspiration, conduct and purpose, designed to create sentimate against the Government of the United States. The second was inspired by political antagonism to President Hoover, led by men conspicuous in political circles for their opposition to him, and deliberately planned to arouse public sentiment against him. That the purpose behind both es these expeditions was political rather than ecotiomic any chijd must know, The marchers brought no information to Washington w-hich was not already common property there as it is over the country generally. The petitions for relief which they presented to Congress and to the President could have been handled just as effectively through the mails. There was absolutely no point to be made by bringing Che several thousand men to the National Capital—except a political point. The manner in which the marches were made in itself contradicts the pretended purpose behind them. Both armies came in, automobiles and auto trucks. Both brought brass bands with them. In the case of the last army a very considerable part of its membership' did not join lin the parade to the Capitol which was supposed to be the chief function in which they should engage, but scattered about the city taking in the sights like any tourists. One of the men who collapsed, not from hunger but from nervous excitement, and was taken to a hospital, was found wearing a, diamond ring and having SI,OOO in currency upon his person. Os course this exceptional case does not prove that all the marchers were supplied with funds. It is obvious, however, that a cavalcade of 2,200 motor vehicles with hired drivers .could not be brought together for a journey of 1,000 miles by men who were wholly indigent. There was not only organization behind the enterprise, but a very considerable amount of money, which certainly would have been better expended relieving the families of Those who needed ' relief than in sending some thousands of men on an utterly fruitless journey. Things have come to a sorry pass when men are willing to resort to ‘‘playing politics with human misery - * in an effort to discredit the President of the United States in order to win a party victory. WILL CONGRESS MEASURE UP It is doubtful if any United States Congress, in a generation, has faced a greater responsibility than the present one. It has assembled at a time when every country in the world is puzzled and despairing. Pressing economic -"and social issue* abound mi every

Bide. Unemployment, various plans for stabilizing industry with governmental aid, farm relief, taxation — these and other issues are engaging the public mind and we must look to Congress for action. _ The last issue, taxation, is .possibly the greatest of all. It is intimately related to the others. Employment can only result from industrial activity and expansion—and nothing can do more to frighten industry and prevent the investment of capital, than excessive taxation.

Those who propose plans for helping the distressed at the expense of the taxpayer may have sentiment on their side. But many of the relief plans they propose would do the unemployed more harm than good, inthe long run. There is a limit even to the spending power of government —a point beyond which the taxpayer can no longer produce revenue. When this point is reached, Industrial stagnation inevitably results—arid, severe unemployment, Instead of being a temporary evil, becomes a permanent one. The Congress should do everything possible to reduce the cost of government. It should scrutinize with the utmost care any project whatever that requires public funds. It should obsei*ve the condition of such countries as England with its dole and Germany with its vast paternalism, and not be caught in the same net.

BULLDOGS COME THROUGH IN BATTLE WITH CAVEMEN Friday evening the Nappanee Bulldogs retained the tie for first place with- Laporte in the *MIHSC bydefeating the strong Mishawaka quintet: After being behind 28 to 26 the Bulldogs rallied to score 5 points and the game ended in a stall. Betzger opened the scoring with' a free throw and a long shot which made the score 3 to 0. Then Troep tallied on one of the Mishawaka boys errors and Lehman connected from the field. Then after Troup took two more charity tosses and Lehman a field goal and two free throws while Mishawaka collected 2 more points. The quarter*>nded 9-5. During the second period Lehman hit often, running the score up to 18 while Mishawaka collected 6 more points. In the third quarter the Bulldogs run the score up to 26 and then a great rally by the Mishawaka team turned out to be a real thriller. From any angle on the floor the Mishawaka boys hit the basket and the period ended 26 to 21. Not satisfied the Cavemen continued to connect until they led 28 To 26. At this time Troup and Owen were resting on the-bench. With two minutes to go Owen came back in. Lehman tallied on a free throw and Owen.hit twice - and the game ended. - Willie Troup played a nice, clean floor* game and was instrumental in much of the scoring done by Lehman. Mullett and Owen continued to play with the same old dependability. Lopp as usual burned up the floor dribbling through when nothing else presented itself. The box score follows: Nappanee (31) GA GFA F P Lehman, f 16 5 -7 7 1 Troup, f , 8 1 6 4 1 Owen, c ~.5 2 2 2 2 Lopp, g 7 l o 0 1 Mullett, g “........ 2 0 0 0 1 Pepple. f 1 0 0 0 0 Conrad.

Both Laporte and Nappanee have a clean slate in conference competition and one of them is bound to fall tomorrow evening. In previous years Laporte has been able to hold a slight lead over the Bulldogs but with the picture of a championship in front of them, the locals will be out in full force.'; Both Laporte and Nappanee were defeated by Michigan City, but the games were given them by virtue of a forfeit. Laporte lost in the invitational tournament at South Bend last week and the Bulldogß lost to Goshen otherwise each team tells only of victories. In all possibility Laporte will bring a strong backing and Nappanee should do likewise. From now on the Bulldogs MUST WlN—Laporte! Elkhart ! Goshen! ' ■ *

DEPRECIATION the Bugbear of— Automobile Ownership \ What’s your car Worth today? How can you retard depreciation and perpetuate its initial value? , Interested, aren’t you? Naturally! FIRST YEAR CARE Subsequent value, on anything purchased, invariably depends upon care and first-year maintenance. After all, isn’t it the little things in life that count? Little things have a tendency to take care of the big things ! The most important thing about your car is £he motor. Valves are the most important thing in the motor— they are the heart of the motor. Still they are “little things” that .must have care to protect the “big thing”— THE MOTOR —the power to go! VALVE CORRECTION Periodical valve correction sustains motor life! If neglected, a gradual fading of new car power -w- pep —and pick-up results. Being human, you then neglect other maintenance duties, and depreciation slowly but surely takes place. CAUTION! There are today a number of methods used in the attempt at valve correction. With the exception of only one, all of these methods are mere guess work—unproductive of results. Would you knowingly permit guess work on any operation on yotrr car? Gertainlv-not on the heart of your motor —the valves —THE KEY TO YO&JB POWER! EMPLOY A SCIENTIFIC SYSTEM The method we employ—the KWIK-WAY SYSTEM of scientific valve correction—is .accurately built upon the fundamental principles of motor valve functions. It eliminates all guess work and is so precise in its degree of measured accuracy as to positively create a compression in the combustion chamber heretofore unobtainable even in new cars! A NEW THRILL ; Experience the thrill of driving your car as a * new car— with the hills smoothed out!
