If ever there were a time other than when the nation was at war when Money money dominated Dominate the situation at Washington, It assuredly is now. One can go where he chooses about the government departments, to the White House or to Capitol mil and the subject under discussion is or soon will be 1 tftea teyMafiiteMi St money. year or so ago, we heard a great deal about money. We heard of It In connection with an approthe priation of $4.aS(),0)0,0()0 voting of greatest single peace-tim- e And, likemoney In our history. wise, we heard money discussed when the President used his power to devaluate the dollar In its relation to gold. Now, however, the subject of money is discussed in a slightly different Teln. The question that Is paramount Is how can the government get the money It needs. In other words, we are now getting around to the question of taxation, and tt Is a question that neither the President nor his lieutenants In congress like to face. It Is an election year and a tax Increase In election year Is not what the politicians would call smoothing the highway of a campaign. Passage of the legislation providing Immediate payment of the veterans' bonus brought conditions to a head. The President vetoed the bonus bill and congress promptly overrode that veto. So the President promptly told congress that something had to be done about It; that the only funds the treasury could muster would be by borrowing and that since congress had yielded to the vocal minority represented by the greatest lobby ever to populate the Capitol, It thereby captured for Itself a problem of raising the money. Of course, the President must aseven sume some responsibility though he vetoed the bonus for the reason that some of the funds which must be raised will go to pay the crop control benefits or bonus resulting from Invalidation 'of the processing taxes and the Agricultural Adjustment act The President, as well as the political leaders In congress, want to continue that payment and they also want to pay farmers on commitments previously made because they regard them as moral obligations under the AAA contracts. Yet the country Is likely to think in terms of the bonus for the war veterans and pay little attention to the smaller amount scheduled to go to the farmers and. Indeed, the veterans' bonus Is almost six times that which the administration desires to pay to the farmers. A if i lift IEiVtrMis53 would "jcioii aid 'upauon.

Cotton Gin Wrecked bv a Furious Tornado There was In this situation a development to which I believe attention s b o o I d be Up called. Through "f' to Henry" mnJ gress Ja conhas been an easy spender. Through the same years It has avoided at every turn laying taxes to offset the money It voted out of the treasury. Under the Roosevelt administration the peak of easy spending has been reached and congress has gone along with a vociferous "aye" on every spending proposal sent to the Capitol from the White House. The congressional attitude to which I have referred came np In bulk at the time of the bonus vote. Every time a bonus opponent Inquired where the government would get the money to pny the two and one-hnbillion to the veterans, the an swer from the bonus supporters was. In effect. "It's np to Henry."

Their thoughts. Instead of turning to song In the spring, were turning to votes In November. That was the reason for pnssage of the bonus. Senators nd representatives seeking reelection were afraid to go Into the battle for nomination and i this summer and have war veterans drng out the skeleton of a vote In position to Immediate payment of the bonus.

Bianeuver such as was the passage 5 lf California Governor and Bride f i . ,7 J "v'S" ,i of the bonus did not give any reason for commendation except, perhaps, the Justification that If ths Roosevelt administration was committed to passing out hundreds of millions of dollars on boon doggling and other more or less useless projects, then the war veterans were entitled to be paid now the sums which congress promised them would be paid In 1917. That really but If Is a powerful argument Roosevelt supporters make that argument they are at the same time damning the New Deal spending policies, so l' fancy that such an argument will be rarely advanced. It Is entirely probable that there will be no tax bill this year unless the May Be No letter President's to Speaker Tax Bill Byrns pointing out the necessity for raising revenue causes an of number of senators and No representatives to do a imagination is required to see that a representative or senator is in a tough spot when he goes back home asking the suffrage of his constituents and must tell them at the same time that be added to the tax burden which they must pay. Well, if that be true, how Is "Henry" going to get the money? It will have to be borrowed and It will have to be borrowed on government bonds which add up Into an Increasing government deficit. It means that Instead of a deficit of around three billions In the next fiscal year, the treasury will be confronted with a deficit of more than five billions and the public debt. In the meantime, will have been correspondingly increased. It means, in addition, that the banks of the country will have to pile more government bonds on top of the government bonds they have thus far absorbed In financing a policy of spending our way out of the depression. The tragedy of the situation In congress that brought about Senator Rankhead's remark of "it's up to Henry" Is that It Indicates that congress has been looking upon the treasury as a source of revenue It Is not and It never has been. Government Is It can get funds only by taxation, by taking them away from the people or by borrowing and If It borrows It has to pay back. uu-hea- flip-flo- The newspapers throughout the country have been full of reports the concerning Campaign early start of the camStarts Early political paign. The A 1 Smith speech, coming from the man who made it, brought about a sudden expansion In the political fire. It really opened up the fight and henceforth we are due to be surfeited with this claim or, that, this charge and that denial or countercharge, as the various leaders marshal their forces. Thus far, In addition to President Roosevelt's Jackson day speech to diners and Mr. the Smith's Liberty league dinner outburst, we have had active cam paigning by former President Hoover, by Governor Talmadge of Georgia ; by Senator Borah, the Ida ho Republican; by Governor La& don, the Kansas Republican, and by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader In the senate, who spoke In reply to Mr. Smith. Others are In the offing for the Republican and Democratic national committees are engaging radio times In a big way. As speeches and statements Increase in number, and as fanfare grows louder, I find myself getting a bit callous to them all. I have been wondering whether the American people have lost their sense of humor completely, because the situation really has a humorous side. Unless the people's sense" of humor has been dreadfully seared. It seems to me they ourht to be highly amused over ridiculous statements now being made on one side of the fence or on the other. Take, for Instance, Mr. Roosevelt's handwritten bonus veto message. It presented something a bit unusual because In my time In Washington It happened only once before that a President vetoed a bill with a handwritten message to congress. Of course, It was Intended to he dramatic and It was. Rut the point Is: A year ago when congress parsed the bonus the President made a personal appearance In the halls of congress and read his own veto message. He made his vigorous fight and he rallied bis supporters In line to sustain his veto. There hns been so much talk aronnd Washington since the handwritten mrssnge went to congress that the President really was nof vigorously opposing pnsonpe of the hill over his veto that I am coming to be. Ileve that was true. In other words, he thoneht that Immediate payment of the bonns was wrong but he had a weather eve out for ihe csmnnlcn and the forthcoming votes the bonus might bring.

We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most "pain" remedies were advised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains . . . and safe for the average person to take regularly.
