were roped into this new deal dea and why noti with all the deuces and three tta e spots tailing failing la in ot of the poor folks alle while they the wall wal street boys got their aces back to back arc view of the following facts fact in my opinion its no more than lair fair that uncle sam should call this a misdeal the slate clean and start au all over again at the close of the world war we wa were horrified horr ined to find that the national national debt was however we placated ourselves by remarking that europe owed us m and that in reality the national debt was only 15 today without a war our na ta tiomai debt 3 ls is ln in the neighborhood of thirty billion dollars and with good indications dict long that it will be livit within in the next week or two no then alter after boosting the national debt well up in the billions in ili an effort to put a chicken in every pot and all the unemployed to work what have we orco or accomplished co in regards to the chicken if any chicken went through our soup pots in the last year or so they must have had S tilts stilts on with the national debt well up in the billions I 1 find that there are one million more unemployed five million more families on relief and several million more trying to get there the fortunes of the rich increasing and those of the middle man decreasing and the workers worse off than ever lately I 1 have been hearing bearing remarks made to the effect that big business Is beginning to be convinced that it has nothing to tear fear tit at the hands of president roosevelt why not with industrial profits 70 per cent higher than a year ag ago 0 with dividends higher in 1934 than they were in 1933 and with extra dividends hitting the highest figure in tour four years for the full year 1934 dividends declared totaled 2684 compared with in 1933 tb the number of corporations declaring dividends in 1934 averaged 2437 quarterly against 2240 in the previous year I 1 payments ordered against arrearages arrea rages numbered contrasted with in 1933 extra dividends jumped from to last year and resumed payments rom to omitted payments fell from rom to in 1934 and reduced payments from to disbursements by 1253 companies last december totaled against in 1933 in the preceding months 75 other corporations gladdened the hearts of coupon cutters by declaring extra dividends this brigade was led oft off by the standard oil company which split up 6 among the rockefeller crew this was an extra dividend in addition to the tat fat regular dividends here are some typical reports from the wall street banks showing how those poor bankers fared out in 1934 the year which has seen the most unemployment and misery in history chase national bank res resources this year compared compare d with 1 a year ago

jose and stock prices rose lose as much or more roughly in two months the wall street boys scored a profit of five billions or more 0 on a the combined gains in both stocks and bonds this rise irl in stocks and bonds was made possible by th the e p promise romise given by president rooseve roosevelt 1 that t ha t no taxes will be allowed to touch the rich in this session of congress of course I 1 do not censure the president tor for making such a promise to the rich after all why soak the rich when t there here Is more poor people th anever to S soak oak while i the small all merchant Is being driven to the wall and cant hold up under the codes of the blue eagle the big chain store systems are making money hand over fist like they never made it before under the auspices of the roosevelt administration the kroger grocery and baking company with stores strung to hades and gone around the country had total sales for example for the month ending january last of this was just more than the same outfit made during the same period 0 of I 1 1933 the F r W woolworth company earned tor for the year 1934 compared with in 1933 which was the year the blue eagle got in only part of its work every day I 1 it Is becoming more evident stick depending on a broken that we are in our hopes that the dam damnable power business would he be broken and relegated of big to the regions where it properly belongs with twenty two and one half million people on relief rolls roll s and the wall street making millions of dollars high binders I 1 am firmly convinced that we have been sold out body boots and britches to the morgan korean mellon crowd not but what the heart was right but because the head went W ent wrong ahe the backbone and moral stamina just could nt stand the strain at rain brought against it could not muster the courage to demand and enforce the demand that the billions of wealth ot of which the people have been foully robbed be returned to the tha rightful industrial du circulation from whence it was taken when roosevelt was asking the people to vote for him he be made the following promises first that the size of the big maws mans fortune would be reduced so as to give the masses at the bottom enough to wipe out all poverty second that the hours of labor would be so reduced that all would share lit in communications continued from page one the work to be done and in consuming the abundance mankind produced needless to say he has failed to carry out those premises hs ha made when he was asking the people to vote tor for him and although he has continually spoken ln favor of paying us workers decent wages i the net result thus far has been entirely top heavy tor for the special privileged class hoover was a be headache adache but roosevelt Is two ot of them I 1 consider him a mighty good Et and one who plays the breaks he Is to be found first in one camp and then in the other or on the fence between them and sometimes like the man on the tying lying trapeze in nil all three positions at once the total income for the whole nation in mr hoovers last and worst yc year ar was the total income in mr Roosevel ts first and best year was those figures are fr from om the department of commerce the department of commerce figured out yet how much worse things got in mr air Roosevel ts ond end year but you can judge for yourself r elf one million more industrial workers are jobless now than a year ago are now living on relief where were being fed a year ago once I 1 had a picture prominently displayed in my home and upon which I 1 looked with reverence and hope that picture Is now turned to the wall justa just as s though we have enough of the silly three letter combinations in our alphabet soup one more block of initials has come into our midst it Is a grim reminder of war and postwar post war inflation days 11 C of L high cost of living our soup has become so thin that we mi must add more and more of those little nutrition less alphabet letters the II 11 0 L has become the high cost of not quite living tho the hottest idea ever conceived in the spectacular hog slaughtering career of the brain trust Is now under consideration tion by president roosevelt and his recovery advisers just move the unemployed americans into our colonial possessions and leave them there until they become self sup porting ng all just take people and boot them into the pacific ocean and presto unemployment Is solved or shoot them up lip into alaska theres a lot of 0 wide open space up there according to hearses He arsts news service a preliminary sui vey of 01 alaska as to its colonization was actually made last summer by secretary ot of commerce roper in washington the city that has become the Nork or of the new deal i there are fourteen closed banks which owe to their depositors and ans an extra to the R F C in the united states today there are children under 16 years or of age being cared tor for through the relief rolls these number more then than one sixth ot of all the children in the country ilow how proud the rising generation will be or of a country which brought them into the world in a charity clinic fed them on milk bought by the E ERA it A clothed them with hand me downs from the salvation army and then told them that they are all equals in the worlds greatest democracy roosevelt has continued the hoover policy of seeking to save the debt structure by putting government credit behind the falling failing credit of big c corporations tills this has intensified the disease of our tailing failing economic order the piling up of a load of debt the bankers have the money billions lie idle in their banks and they can and do call the tune Roosevel ts plans destroy each other the A A A reduction program raises the price of what the workers must buy the N R A codes through their price fixing and production control provisions raise the he price of things that the farmer must have neither group gets a sufficient increase in purchasing power to do any good Alc meantime antIme concentration of ownership end and income becomes increasingly greater at the top and the standard of living and culture tor for the overwhelming majority of the population Is pushed steadily downward some other observations I 1 had intended to make upon this new itaw deal but as the letter has been drawn out to greater length than I 1 expected and they will come in with at least equal propriety under other maxims I 1 conclude at present sincerely LOUIS BARGO march 13 1935 park city utah CRITICISM j editor park record like a harrow criticism tends to scratch the surface rather than plow the ground criticism also acts as an irritant instead of a stimulant and like horseflies horse flies may prevent the horse from doing good work rather than driving him on the critic may have his big use except when his stock in trade Is misrepresentation enta the lie direct arid and willful or by inference insidious suggestion or by exaggeration of a 0 fault these are to be condemned we expect some partisan prejudice with some it Is an inborn imbor n congenital attribute with some people to espouse a policy or party name Is synonymous with a declaration of war against everything outside it it I 1 Is not an uncommon on fault of human nature to love an argument to see the other side and become insistent even intolerant Into lerent but time teaches teacher that there are more than I 1 one way and that some ways are better so we have the ignorant critics the intolerant the opinionated those who will carry even an unimportant argument ment to a point of passion and bitter invective also the informed critics who delight in wielding the skinning knife the force of criticism often depends upon its source as the fello fellow w said when the mule kicked him all kinds of critics have their followers but tho the mud slinger usually lands in the mire the american 0 office mee holder would often forget that he is a servant of the people were it not for the critic and even then ho he is inclined to accept the so called honor as a personal prerogative rather than as something bestowed by the people instead of representing his big constituents he dominates them however r there Is a principle in leadership which involves dictation the captain or the governor is selected tor for his bis wisdom and courage and the followers fol lOers must consent to go along with him or the system falls THE AMERICAN SYSTEM of government is a wonderful experiment in III human relationship as well as in democracy most of the world about us has jailed failed or its governments ern ments are having a hard bard struggle with revolutions and counter revolutions when all the people are considered I 1 there are so many sides the upper side and the underside the inside and the outside the right side and the wrong side my side and your side are flable liable to have more than the personal equation of difference the system Is founded 0 on n high ideals and our boasted liberty really means righteous liberalism of 1 thought slid and deed A diamond Is polished d by the attrition

yield to other armed forces and the idea of peace peaceful f u I 1 majorities rule fairly expressed falls this nation has held to an all overmastering sentiment of majority control and elemental justice this in the face of organized parties often bitterly opposed and t the he interest trusting to a common commo 1 power 01 of a supreme umpire written by the founders and interpreted by a court

majority has saved the day for peace and the general acceptance of the result those elected and elevated to the high offices of the nation make willing oath to serve all the people then by that oath
