Show I UINTAH BASIN RECORD John Bull Cracks Down on fascists PH ter fivi r ' National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart National Pres Building There is much talk Washington. among the Republicans, both tor and against, con-O. P. cerning the pro- Conference posal to hold a general party conference early next year. The plan projected would bring together delegates from every state just the same as the convention that is held every four years for nominating the presidential and vice presidential candidates and formulation of party policies through adoption of a campaign platform. The question has many angles and in consequence many pros and cons already have been advanced. In natural consequence also, some very Republicans have taken definite decisions, either for or against the plan which has the approval of men like John Hamilton, chairman of the Republican national committee, and former President Herbert Hoover. Some very splendid mpn find themselves honestly In opposition and have said so in unequivocal terms. The issue will be fought out at a meeting of the national committee early in November and probably there will be such a convention early in 1938. As I have said, there is argument on both sides but after discussing the situation with many Republicans, it appears to me that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. I say this from the standpoint of the country at large. Many times in these columns, I have expressed the conviction that a strong minority party, whether that party be Republican or Democratic, is a very healthy condition for the country as a whole. A political party with too great a majority is Lkely to run away with itself and do many unsound things. We have had proof of this during the Roosevelt administration and we had proof of it during the administrations of the late President Harding and President Coolidge when Republicans had too many members of the house and the senate and the Democratic minority was impotent. I cannot speak from a Republican standpoint any more than I can speak from a Democratic standpoint. Nevertheless, from the position I attempt to follow as an observer of national affairs and long range national policies, it does seem that the Republicans ought to quit fighting among themselves and get together to oppose that which the present minority in this country finds objectionable in President Roosevelt's policies. They ought to determine on a set of principles and stick to them. It is their obligation and if they fail to fulfill that obligation, it seems to me they had best disband, get rid of those who attempt to be leaders in the Republican party and let somebody else organize the minority faction in the United States and it is to be remembered that even in the last election there were almost 16,000,000 Republican voters. In advocating this action, I am not motivated as much by my belief in and support of some of Mr. Roosevelt's policies as I am in my disagreement with others of the program to which the New Dealer has adhered. A strong and vocal minority will Insure the retention of rights and powers in the hands of the people where they belong and at the same time it will compel Democrats to stick together in carrying out sound policies proposed by the President That latter statement may sound paradoxical. I think it i; not. I make the statement because I know liow many times the gigantic Democratic majority in congress has fought over trivialities and because I know how many times sincere opposition to unsound policies has met with defeat without the country knowing the reasons for that opposition. Taken all In all, therefore, I believe it is an obligation upon me as an observer of national affairs to declare in favor of a movement by the minority party that will result in a concentration of Us power for the good of the nation. well-know- n And what, one may ask, should be the creed of the minority party next year? Well, as I see the picture, the Republican party must be the conserv-- , stive party in What the United States. the Creed? President Roosevelt and his New Dealers cannot avoid being the radical party. I have said this many times in these columns and it is more evident now even than when I reported upon the situation earlier The conservatives can and should have a voice in their government even if it is only an opposition voice that constitutes a balance-wheel- . Proceeding fiom that premise, therefoie, tlieie can be little argument that the principles which the Republicans advocate should be drawn from principles of governmental policies that have (roved sound. That is to sy, the Republicans cannot afford to attack Mr Roosevelt on everything he has 'Washington, D. C. r-- w done, but they can tear him politically limb from limb with constructive proposals to take the place of those things he has done which deceit represent discouragement, and disaster to the country's economic life. There will be no gain for the Republicans in 1938 elections if they attempt to ride two or three different horses as they did in 1936. For example, they cannot do as Candidate Landon did, to wit, call for a balanced budget in one speech and advocate being Santa Claus in another; they cannot blow hot and cold, and, therefore, they must be either conservative or radical. It seems to me the Republicans can probably plan for an immediate balancing of the national budget In that connection, they can with justification demand curtailment if not entire elimination, of many governmental functions inaugurated under the New Deal. They can offer constructively a proposal to legislate out of existence some 20 or 30 federal agencies for which there never has been and is not now any excuse for their existence. -- 1 j '5 $ ss f I i r in -- v i. -- .y ? 3. b f 7 k ' f ' V s v As regards legislation now on the statute books, it seems to me we will never have sound prosperity un- til certain laws that increase production costs are eliminated. I mean by this that there are numerous laws which have the effect of widening the spread between the price of the raw materials and the price of the manufactured products. Legislation of this kind is bound to force down the prices paid to the producers and, in my opinion, the results are beginning to be reflected on products of the farm. Probably the most delicate queS tion with which the Republicans are confronted relates to wages and hours of labor. Business interests have been shortsighted. Too many times employers have overworked their employees and have shown but little consideration for the rights of labor. The result is that labor is demanding consideration in the shape of protection at the hands of its national government and the Republicans, whether they desire to or not, must take a stand. Among which 1 other principles upon think the Republicans as the conservative f Then, There s party surely can is that there is too much government in business. The government itself is engaged In many lines of commerce and industry and it is breaking down private enterprises I regard the in countless ways. function of government as a thing to be confined to matters and enterprises which individuals cannot do We might use the as individuals. postal service as an example. No one would be so silly as to say that the postal service could be operated satisfactorily in any other way than as an agency of the federal government In contradistinction to the postal service, however, we can point to such tilings as the building of model homes for private citizens. I think the government has no business at all in that field. This is so, first, because of the tremendous waste accompanying any governmental operation and, second, for the reason that private persons who are holders of funds whether the amount is great or small recognize real estate mortgages as sound investments. I need not mention the red tape or the politics that can choke up any such thing as a government housing development.

Surely that would seem to be career enough, but this party had additional claims to recognition. He admitted he had been sentenced to forty-nin- e terms in various jails and penitentiaries, which in itself would seem to constitute an international record, and said that in forty-thre- e of these cases he had been paroled. He didnt explain how the big hearted parole boards failed to turn him loose before he finished those remaining six sentences. It must be profound regret to the e boys in Alcatraz and other homes conducted by the federal government that, owing to the cruel refusal of Uncle Sam to go into the paroling business on a wholesale basis, none of them, however ambitious, has a chance to equal this splendid showing.

In old days, I liked Germany as a land flowing with gemuetlich and good beer and a superior line of liverwurst I wonder whether Id like it so well now. Because this fellow says every minute everybody must give the Nazi salute and say, Heil, Hitler! If a citizen wants his eggs fried, he says first to the wuiter, Heil, Hitler! If he wants em turned over, he says it twice once for each egg. Theres a swastika flag flying over practically every house. Absence of a swastika flag signifies that the folks who used to live there are now in the hoosegow for failing to fly lame. My friend may have exaggerated lomewhat, but, I think, not much, oecause while talking we came abreast of a Lelderkranz cheese in a delicatesen store window and involuntarily he said, Heil, Hitter! f.

If the Republican party wants to do a constructive job it ought to set to work to examine all of the statutes enacted by congress in the last ten or twelve years and especially those enacted in the haste of the emergency with a view to repealing of many of them. Some can and should be rewritten to make them workable. Those statutes placed on the books by the Roosevelt administration constitute outstanding evidence of the lack of We all know many of opposition. those bills were written in executive departments and sent to congress with instructions to pass them unchanged.
