MPDONALD COUNSEL SURPRISES COURT Offers No Testimony as Kidnap Trial Speeds Toward Close in St. Paul St. Paul, Jan. 22.—()—The defense rested Wednesday in the trial of three defendants charged with the conspir- acy kidnaping of Edward G. Bremer, St. Paul banker, on Jan. 17, 1934. The defendants are Cassius McDon- ald, Detroit engineer, accused of be- ing the principal “money changer”; William Weaver, paroled lifer, named as one of the actual kidnapers, and Harry Sawyer, St, Paul bootlegger who is charged with being the “finger man” in the $200,000 abduction. Everett Jennings of Chicago, coun- sel for McDonald, surprised the court- room when he announced that he hed no testimony to offer in behalf of his client. A. Jerome Hoffman, representing Weaver, rested after his client com- pleted testimony Wednesday morning in his own behalf and without calling any other witnesses, The government decided to. call no rebuttal witnesses and rested its case. Final arguments were to get under way after counsel for both sides agree on how much time to occupy. resuming the stand in his own behalf this morning, reiterated denial of participation in the kid- naping, asserting that he was in Des Moines, Ia., on the day Bremer was abducted. LAVAL AND illS AIDES RESIGN THEIR POSTS Downfall of 109th French Gov- ernment Is Climax of Political Feud Paris, Jan. 22—(#)—The govern- ment of Premier Laval went down Wednesday as he and his ministers resigned in the face of political dis- sensions. Laval had held office since June 7, 1935, a comparatively long time in recent French history. It was the 100th government of the third repub- lic to hold power and to be with- drawn. The immediate cause of Laval’s overthrow was the withdrawal of sup- port by Radical-Socialist party fac- tions. It climaxed a long political feud in which Edouard Herriot, minister of state, resigned as president of the Radical-Socialists and then withdrew his support from Laval. The whole cabinet met in session ‘Wednesday with Laval. Resignations were submitted to the premier by sev- eral ministers. The session adjourned and went to the Elysee palace where the whole “save the franc cabinet” resigned. One of the reasons for the hostility of the political left wing to Laval was his handling of the Italo-Ethiopian problem with what was described as vaccillation between Italy and Great Britain. President Lebrun asked the minis- ters to keep the government running until he can form a new cabinet. He immediately began a search for a new premier with the prospect that Mar- cel Regnier, minister of finance, might eventually be chosen to defend the franc against devaluation until the election of a new chamber of deputies in April or May.

D., Jan. 16, 1936, Editor, Tribune: The cause of the depression (?) is traction of money circulation. The reason was that during 1918-1919 and early in 1920 the business in the country got too top heavy for the pete to control it so a meeting of “Bankers Only” was held May 18, 1920, where arrangements were made} to contract ‘the money circulation, or in other words to “deflate business.” As the Irishman said about the big guy that he was fighting, they cut it down to their size. This was deliber- ately done despite the warning of the western bankers that they could nui control the movement. The result has confirmed their contentions. One other reason for their calling in all money that they could command was to get control of the liberty bonds which has been done immediately following every war. The financial interests do not want the common} People to own these tax-exempt se- curities, We still have the same people, same soil, machinery and everything that we always had to work with EXCEPT money and the financiers have con- trol of that they contract or expand just as and when they see fit. Our sole trouble is the lack of mon- ey or purchasing power. Economists tell us that it is necessary that we| have $75 per capita in circulation in} order to keep business moving nor- mally and the Townsend revolving fund gives us almost exactly that amount. It is not an income tax which most | people give as their reason for not| supporting it and say that it cannot succeed, Instead its a transaction tax of 2 per cent on every dollar that 1s spent for business in the United States and the money so used runs far into the billions every year. Some enough funds to pay the old age pen- sion and also pay the public debt in seven years. A trial will have to) prove that. Under the plan there 1s no debt contracted and no one. collects any interest on any of the funds, al fact that is the cause of the financial; interests doing all in their power to defeat it. Seemingly thousands of our people cannot concieve the idea that it ts possible to have money working with- out some one collecting tribute, (in- terest) for its use, but this is one plan that can be so done, It will put all the nécessary buying power in cir- culation and in a way that no gang, group or others can, in any way, pre- vent its circulation. Twelve times each year over $1,500,000,000 will be spent to buy. Can anyone imagine what that would mean to the bus!- ness interests, the churches and every institution that must have buying} power to exist? It would eliminate all poorhouses, all old people’s homes, all retired min- isters, government and industrial pen- sioned employees, all old soldiers homes, pay all the soldiers and sol- diers’ widows’ pension whose age is past sixty and many other tax sup-| ported institutions that now are sup-| ported by, in most cases, revenue raised with tax exempt and interest | bearing bonds, Adding the cost of} the buildings needed, the maintenance ; | cost and all the expenses of just the poor houses, old folks homes and sol- | diers homes and pensions to those over 60 and it would amount to prac- | tically the full amount of the Town- send plan cost and thus relieve all the communities supporting these in- stitutions of those taxes. It will take care of the most unhappy, unwanted and miserable people on earth who in @ great many cases have all through their lives denied themselves every-j{ thing in the way of luxuries in order to have enough to support them in : .

Miscellaneous STAPLING MACHINES _ LET US demonstrate the Markwel) paper fastener You will find this to be the neatest stapler you ever used. Staples sheets together per- manently or temporarily Bismarck Tribune Job Department, had an income of $5,000,000. No he couldn’t earn it but that was one man’s income, more than one-fourth as much as it would take to pay 8,000,000 people a pension of $200.00 each per month, Four men were shown to have “taken in” over $17,- 000,000 or practically the total cost of pensions for the eight million old people.* And yet we have people in every community that say its foolishness; there is no sense in anyone having $200 a month. No one will or can know how much more those five men should have paid tax on as they did not report a penny more than their highly paid lawyers told them they would have to. Two hundred dollars a month is only $2,400 per year. Some! of the economists tell us that the pro- duction of this country should and could be great enough to pay every person in the United Sta $4,700 per Well, if millions are getting nothing it certainly is true that a few are getting a great deal more than their share. The real benefit of the Townsend plan is not that it will do for those past 60 years of age but what it will do for everybody in the coun- try by putting into circulation that for them to exist on. A mere existence pension will not benefit anyone but those receiving 1 and there is no other plan that so far | Jeven suggests enough to exist on. Not {one other plan does that. Do you people here in the north think for one second that anyone could buy his so-called security act might pay, if it those men who drew that bill would they had to exist on. Yes, we wonder. This money will be paid to only about 15 per cent of the people in the Unit- ed States. But it has to be spent or they don’t get the next payment and the best of it all is that it will prevent the public enemies who caused these conditions from ever again being able to take the buying power away fipm the people whenever they care to do so. And it is the only plan ever pro- posed that will do that very thing. To resume. Put agriculture on its feet by giving consumers of farm products the wherewith to buy. Close poor houses, old folks homes, old sol- diers homes; pay all pensions to sol- diers’ widows over 60 years of age. Eliminate all retired workers pensions; whether industrial, governmental or of any other kind, and put the blessed old people where they do not have to either declare themseles paupers or stay with relatives, who in many cases are relieved to see them pass out and who in thousands of cases are not able to provide for their own family. And, folks, just think, This with- out any debt or interest and with a continuous circulation of buying pow- er. Can you possibly see any objec- tion to the plan? The reason why so many do object is because they have not studied it and do not understand the real benefits. If they did,.nothing could prevent congress from being forced to put it in a law immediately. Study it and then work to get it in force. M. M. McCUMBER. Bismarck, N.
