ELCOMED" BY LANDON OPERA, Kan., Oct. 2. — Gov. M. Landon said today he weled the support of Alfred E. hi and was “happy to fight ilder to shoulder” with such for the preservation of rican principles. e Republican candidate, when *d for comment on Smith’s apfor his election as president, T deeply appreciate the support Alfred E. Smith, a great Demoand a great American. He placed country above partisip. The issues of this camare so fundamental they “end party lines. Is election will decide the of government we shall pass to future generations. I am py to fight shoulder to shoulwith such leaders as Alfred E. )ith in this contest for the pres’ation of American principles.”
tinued to rise as it has been rising, the government’s annual budget could be balanced “within a year or two” without additional taxes. He dwelt at length on the national debt in the second major address in his campaign for re-election and assured his listeners in the jammed ball park of the Pittsburgh Pirates that the deficit was not going to be met by “oppressive taxes on future generations.” Back in 1933. the president said, national income and government revenues were spiraling downward and the government had to care for a growing army of destitute and un-
employed.
Levelling off at his Republican opposition, he said he cast aside a "donothing or a wait-and-see policy” and “reversed the policy of the previous administration.” It cost money, he said, but the people knew in 19.33 that it would. “I had promised,” he said, “and : my administration was determined, to keep the people of the United States from starvation.” In combatting the depression he said the administration had boosted the public debt $8,000,000,000. Some people, he added, “will tell you that the increase in the national debt is $13,000,000,000 instead of $8,-
000.000,000.’’
Then, in a remark which was gen- |
American life.” “Yes,” spectators responded when he asked if it did not make "common sense" to say that “the only way to keep a government out of the re 1 hto keep the people out of the red.”
He said:
“We had to balance the budget of the American people before we could balance the budget of the national governmciu.” He touched off loud “boos” when he referred to “my predecessor” and then silenced the crowd by holding up his hand. Back in 1933, the president said, if he had accepted advice to "let nature take its course and continue a policy of doing nothing,” it would have meant: A continued wiping out of people of small means the continued loss of their homes and farms and small
businesses.
The loss of all the resources of a multitude of individuals and families and small corporations. A concentration of property ownership in the hands of 1 or 2 per cent of the population. “To have accepted that advice," he said, "would have been to offer breadlines again to the American people, knowing this time that in many places the lines would last far longer than tho bread. “In those dark days between us and a balanced budget, stood millions of needy Americans, denied the promise of an American life.” Humanity, he said, came first and the “vicious tightening circle of our declining national income simply had to be broken.” The government, he said, accepted the reaponsibil“.y of spending money after all else had failed and when no one else had money left to spend.

The Sec Lightning Ranch operators of near Putnamvllle, will present their big western rodeo at the ranch Sunday afternoon, unless rain stop: it. It will start at 2:30 o'clock. The ranch is two miles south of Putnamvllle on the old Johnson farm which has been turned into a real western ranch. A corral and rodeo arena have been constructed and the place really resembles a western ranch. The operators will have on hand some real west cow-boys and cow-girls for the afternoon show. They will also have plenty of wild horeses and wild long horns for the performance. Milt. Hinkle, owner of the ranch, is giving Sunday’s show in order to give the people of Putnam county an opportunity to see what a real western rodeo is like. He was unable to bring his wild steers and horses to Greencastle because of the lack of proper fencing. Hinkle also says he is going to turn the old farm into a real ranch and next summer proposes a Du lo ranch operating within tho county. Following Sunday’s show, the ranch outfit will move to Washington, Ind . for a showing on October 10 and 11, and from there they will go south until Christmas. In connection with the statement that little Shirley Adams of the rodeo had scarlet fever. Mr. Hinkle said the child lives one and a half miles from the ranch, and h:us had no connection with the people at the ranch. She has a very light case and is reported doing
nicely.

"Ours a red government!" tho president exclaimed in answer to a (Uestion. “Absurd! This talk about reds’ is silly. The government is fighting for political liberty.
