No previous cases of the disease were In existence in the new community and health authorities could find no other source of infection than flies. Repeated warnings of physicians and health officials have apparently failed to Instill a proper fear of the house fly In the average mind. However, a more thorough knowledge of the habits of a fly would Increase the respect for this tiny Insect, according to authorities on the subject.

When President Roosevelt entered the White House March 4, 1933, every dollar Check on of federal money that Spending was expended was accounted for and the vouchers reviewed, by the general accounting offices. J. Raymond McCarl, comptroller general of the United States, occupied and still an Independent occupies position in the accountings he directed and the reviews that were made under the budget and accounting law. But with the arrival of the New Deal and the crisis in government and the nation arising from the depression, scores of new laws were enacted, new agencies of government were created and billions of dollars were appropriated, the bulk of it being spent without reference to the accounting act or the bureau of the budget. Congress, under White House direction, did not make these new agencies or their spending accountable to the comptroller general. It was almost two years before President Roosevelt saw fit to make any of the emergency agencies, the alphabetical soup, amenable to the general accounting office. Consequently, millions upon millions of dollars were spent and only the spending agencies knew whether they were spent in accordance with law. Now, however, things have changed. Late last winter, the President began extending the broad wings of the general accounting office over emergency agencies and has continued to do so until, only the other day, the last of these were made responsible to the comptroller general. Thus aD independent governmental unit one with no axes to grind again is In a position to say whether federal money Is being spent as congress directed and In a manner which the taxpayers have the right to demand. This spending of money in gigantic amounts always breeds suspicion. It causes people to Inquire, whatever the form of government may be or whatever political party may be in control, whether there is waste or graft, whether the then office holders are feathering their own nests, and many another question of the like. It was true in the case of the New Deal. Observers here in Washington constantly were receiving information alleging that this individual or that ha been displaying signs of unusual prosperity; that rumors were afloat concerning graft and crookedness In one agency or another and that somebody ought to expose the goings-owith respect to a named department of government It was not an unusual circumstance because In every administration we here in Washington who attempt to see and to hear as much as we can, get the same kind of reaction. Only, It seemed to have been worse this time and well it may have been because the amount of money made available to President Roosevelt and his subordinates was so much larger. It is my belief, however, that there has not been more of this Intangible thing called graft In government in the present administration than in most others. There has been some crookedness because there have been court convictions of some officials but I expect when and if the future lays bare all facts concerning the present administration and its handling of the vast sums of money available to It, it will be disclosed that most of the New Deal officials have been honest in their disbursement of funds. Their friends may have profited but, If they have, that is Just a repetition of an old story, a circumstance always developing In a government managed under the two party system. To the victors always go the spoils. n BIS WNU CONSTITUTION FLETCHER P. HENRY By Chairman, Republican National Committee. RESILIENT filler T ing waste matter from the blood stream.

But, while the President Is entitled to commendation for the attempts at honest disbursement of funds, I hear more and more criticism of the way the money bas been spent Indeed, It appears now that the vast expenditures by the administration are likely to be as much of a campaign issue as is his proposal to alter the Constitution to fit New Deal plans. Every one knows that when an Individual's pocketbook is touched, he rises in revolt By the time the next election comes around Individuals will have had their pocketbooks touched rather forcibly by national and state and local taxes of an Increased amount Thus, it is easy to see how the criticism of Roosevelts spending is growing and can continue to grow. The government has been pushed ten or ten or twelve billion more in debt and the end Is not in sight despite the fact that Mr. Roosevelt has Intimated on several occasions lately that he proposes to curtail federal expenditures except for emergency purposes. Those announcements and any future declarations he may make are not going to soften the antagonistic feeling that people have for any public official who wastes money whether a year ago President spoke lightly of our Constitution as resilient. Now that It is shown that It cannot OVER the motives be proper or Improper. From this point, one may look Into the crystal of the 1936 campaign and it takes no stretch of the Imagination to visualize what a pounding the New Deal opposition will give the Roosevelt administration on this question of spending. When Mr. Roosevelt began spending, he declared it was Justified because hundreds of thousands of citizens were starving. His next pronouncement on this subject by way of explaining continued expenditure was that If the government spent freely, It would serve as a priming of the economic pump; that the circulation of federal money would allow Industry to seU and that industry would replace by manufacture the things sold. That, too, brought little or no result. Then we entered the current stage where the spending was to be closely supervised and only projects that held promise of actually developing manufacture and retail selling would be approved and financed by federal money. It Is regrettable but It is a fact that almost nothing has come of this program. And to make matters worse, lately, Secretary Ickes, public works administrator, and Relief Administrator Harry Hopkins have locked horns on the bulk of the projects on which federal money was to be used. It is not strange that these two men should differ. Mr. Hopkins, being a trained, a professional, welfare worker, sees things only from the standpoint of the Individual who needs food. Mr. Ickes has a conception of federal spending that embraces the use of money in ways designed to start the great industries in motion. He figures that If these Industries get going, they will employ workers; the workers will spend their wages and the retailers will profit thereby and, as the retailers sell from their shelves, they seek replacements from the manufacturers. The controversy between Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Ickes, therefore, Is not one to be settled by compromise or by soft words. In fact, It may never be settled until one or the other gets out of his place In the govern- ment The importance of the row to the reader of this column, - however, lies largely Break for in the fact that the Taxpayers particular reader is a taxpayer. The connection is simply this: the last congress appropriated $4,8SO,000,000 for use by the administration in public works and relief. If all of that sum were spent the public debt would be Increased by that amount because Internal, revenue taxes are Insufficient to offset more than the ordinary government expenditures. Therefore, If all of tills money Is not spent, and It cans not be spent If the dispute continues to hold back administration plans, then the taxpayers will .have just that much less of a govern-'medebt to meet through this payment of their taxes. So the Presidents order placing all administrative agencies under the general accounting office to see that their spending Is honestly done and the developments within the administration over a difference In policy must be. taken together as a break for the taxpayer. Ickes-Hop-ki- Ickes-Hopkin- Agriculture adjustment administration officials are about ready to pre- sent to the farmers rotato 0f this country a de- tailed plan for con Control trol of potato production. It will provide means for boosting the incomes of the potato farmers something more than 100 per cent, and will increase the cost of this Item of food to consumers by a proConportionate amount, of course. ferences soon will be held between th4 AAA and representatives of farmers' organizations to work out phases of the plan reqplring farmer approval. Various thoughts arise If one reflects upon potato control First, control of potato production marks the fourteenth ' agricultural crop brought under regimentation and It presents, probably, the toughest of all of them in the matter of enforcing its provisions. Adoption of the potato control program represents attainment of a point in the life of the AAA where one step has led to another until control of was essential, or the whole plan of crop control flops. It will be recalled that the declared purpose of the AAA at the beginning was only for the control of cotton. Land withheld from cotton then was planted to tobacco and tobacco had to be controlled ; when tobacco was controlled, and the land withdrawn, farmers In some sections turned to peanuts and peanuts had to be controlled. I understand the AAA Is considerably worried about the Job of enforcing the potato control law. That law provides compulsion against overproduction In the form of a tax club a tax of 45 cents a busheL In addition, there are penalties of an amazingly severe kind $1,000 fine for the first offense and Imprisonment for not more than a year for the second. Western Newspaper IHlon be stretched to cover the socialistic politics of the New Deal the Issue becomes clear. Either the Constitution must give way to the New Deal or the New Deal must give way to the Con- stitution. The President has solemnly sworn to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, but his political dreams and desires are embodied In the New Deal. He was at the crossroads on the last of May. He could then have reaffirmed his devotion to our fundamental law. Did he? He did not. He showed clearly his preference for his New Deal, which neither he nor any one else had sworn to preserve, protect and defend, and which was never heard of until after his Inauguration The New Deal seeks to pervert or subvert the Constitution. We stand ready to meet this challenge. AMERICAN HOSTILITIES By GENERAL SMUTS South African Minister of Justice.

CLOSING THE SUEZ By GEN. SIR HENRY PAGE CROFT Member of British Parliament. THE lighthearted manner in some suggest that the Suez canal should be closed to Italy displays an Irresponsibility which appalls me, for they can only Intend that the British fleet should be used for this purpose. There is no other naval power capable of such action. Italy would, of course, fight the power which thus attempted to cut off her armies from their supplies. Just as Britain would fight If any power In the world so abused its position as to attempt to close that free waterway to British shipping. AMENDMENTS By CULLY A. COBB , AAA Official. Recently the good offices have been invoked as the chief weapon of the opposition to the AAA program. But certalnly.no one can subscribe to the doctrine that the Constitution Is a document which was Intended to prevent us from doing anything at all about anything at any time. If it turns out that agriculture cannot have equality with other groups as the Constitution now stands, then as a matter of Justice to say nothing of national security there must, of course, be such amendment as is necessary to render it an Instrument of the living present instead of a thing of the dead past.
