Show Other Papers Say COLUMBUS GROVE (OHIO) PUTMAN CO. VIDETTE (Dem.) says: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., startled many Republicans the other day when he visited the White House. There are those whose nerves can hardly stand the strain when a Roosevelt even looks at the White House. FORT LAUDERDALE (FLA.) DAILY NEWS (Ind. Dem.) says: ... It is high time that the "selfish interests" of each of us be called into full play to stop the reckless use of our own money. For it is our money that is being thrown away. It is our money that the President would like to use to set up his super welfare state. It is our money that the do-gooders and the socialistic so-cialistic thinkers would employ to break down an economic system sys-tem that produced the funds the government now takes from us In' taves. Our money is being used against us. Yet the President baldly states, and would have us swallow the argument, that "selfish Interests," meaning pressure pres-sure groups, arc the only ones crying for economy in opposition to his more-and-more spending program. . . . MISSOULA( MONT.) TIMES (Ind.) says: . . . The next time Organized 'Labor attacks the Republican Party it will be met with a counter-attack that will be difficult to beat off. The nandy-pandy, lily-white campaign of Dewey will not be a repeater. The democrats dem-ocrats taught the republicans the lesson that what is worth having is worth fighting for. ' In the next national campaign there will be burs under the saddles of both labor and democrats. demo-crats. QUINCY (ILL.) RECORD (Labor) says: . . . The way to prevent labor monopolies is the way we have prevented financial and industrial indus-trial monopolies bring the labor la-bor unions within the scope of i the anti-trust statutes. At pres-, ent, the Norris-LaGuardia Act exempts labor from the antitrust anti-trust laws. Interpretations of the law by the courts, have In effect, ef-fect, upheld this special privel-ege privel-ege granted to one group of our citizens. . . . CANOVA (S. DAK.) HERALD (Ind. Rep.) says: The democrats even out here in South Dakota holler about the housing bill 'they are passing and how much it will do for the country. We. doubt if South Dakota Da-kota will gain' anything at all from the housing bill and we'll wager anyone a good bet that it will not increase the housing facilities fa-cilities to the extent of even a dog-house for towns like Canova. And still the taxpayers all over the country, including those in Canova, will be asked to help foot the bill that this stupendous undertaking will cost. Slum-clearance and public housing for the larger cities may be all very good and desirable, but why tax everyone to help pay for them while the smaller towns need new housing, too? It is just another case of the government gov-ernment doing things for certain classes of people which they should be doing for themselves. How long will the taxpayers stand for this program of tax and tax and spend and spend? |
