Show wmnM mmm BEVERLY HILLS. Well all I know is just what I read in the papers, or what I see here and 17 T 7W 4&;7 there. Call-fornia Call-fornia has just been having some more big rains. Its the finest fin-est se..son there has been out here in years. Cattlo are ail hog fat, and a high price. Some parts are still having It tough, but I think it kinder equals nn 1 ti tlio Inno run. It seems like the Middle West has had a particular run c' bad luck the last few years. They just went and plowed up so much of that country coun-try that should have been left to Buffalo Grass. But you cant blame em, for at that time things were high, and when you first plow it up It did turn out some fine prairie grass. And a funny thing, of all these seed companys, they just cant seem to get the native seed that originally come from that place. It takes years to get an old plowed-over field back from anything but weeds. I just got a kind of a hunch that things are going to pick up all around. Everybody hollers about all this big new batch of money that is to ba spent, but (in spite of what the Republicans and part of the Democrats say) he must know certain cer-tain things by this time that will bring results. You cant possibly spend that much money without giving giv-ing a lot of people work, and you cant give a lot of people work without with-out them spending it. They cant hold it, they cant bury it, they have to spend it The man they spend it with, the storekeeper and butcher, he has to spend it Its bound to have a benefitial effect all around, and the big ones that are hollering so, its bound to reach them, and fix them so they can pay higher taxes. I am like everybody else. I could sit down by ths hour and tell of plans that has been tried In the last couple of years that havent worked, that have maby not only looked foolish, but were foolish, but darn it all that criticism wouldent do any good. It would just add to the yell of the pack. It would be just another howl in the wilderness. I could sit down from now till morning and tell you what he should not have done, but If you give me five minutes contin-ious contin-ious time, I couldent tell you what he should have done, and neither can any of the rest of em. TLey can view with alarm by the hour, but they point with pride to something else for a minute. All they can sa7 Is "Let Business Alone." Well that all sounds fine, and it looks like a good thing to do, and it would be a good thing to do, but it was done. It was already done. Mr. Hoover certainly let it alone, right during thit same depression. There was not one sign of a handicap put on it There was no hollering about usurping the rights of the Constitution. Constitu-tion. The Constitution was a-going wide open, and business had the same leeway. Then what was the holler? All you have to do Is remember remem-ber back. But Its no good going over old scores. The breaks have just been against us, the same as I said earlier the breaks have been against those poor ranchers that lived ln the drouth and sand storm districts. We are in a hole and we are just running around in there looking for somebody some-body to lay it on. Big business wasent entirely responsible for getting get-ting us in there, and they are not goiug to be entirely responsible for getting us out as lots seem to think. They can help naturally, for tbey are a tremendous Influence. I think this fellow Roosevelt saw that there was a lot of ills connected with the way businesses were run, and he started in with Idealistic plans as to how they should be remedied, and he has found that any business wont work with you wher Its not paying. He has persuaded, he has coaxed, he has tried, but you cant make you or I Invest our tjn " 1 money it we are afraid, and he hag kept em afraid. But maby the minute min-ute that this glagantic expenditure starts showing Bomo results business busi-ness will Join ln with him, and that will assure the whole plan's success. We can talk all the politics we want, but business rim-.s above politics poli-tics in this Country. The South has gone Republican, and the North has gone Democratic. Why, both have done It because It looked like there was mor.r.y In it. Let RooBevelt start showing some results with this new money, and It will have a lot of out-r.lde out-r.lde dough Join It. Th-re is not a Country In the World that can change our outlook as quirk a3 we can. Just a dollar In our pockt makes a different man out of us. So lets dont thumbs down on this j thing till we B"e, and the minute i any of that dough commoners reach-: reach-: 'r.Z us. we are going to uink Us a re-' !y good plan. O Mt'QVh: Cj'-d;c:..et lie. |
