LITICS PERTINAX ‘With charity for all avd malice toward nen The Villian Pursues Bim tics were brightened in North Dakota this week by the first of what ably will prove to be one of a long of “incidents” which sometimes makes people Jaugh and often make them wonder. It was the’report by James Bras- trup, head of the Young Nonpartisan ‘Leaguers Association, a branch of the anti-Welford group, that petitions bearing 8,500 signatures had been stolen from him at Jamestown, Brastrup stopped at Jamestown to eat and when he returned to his car found that @ traveling bag containing the petitions had been stolen. Some politicians sought to give the impression that it was a nefarious trick by an unscrupluous enemy, but the Jamestown police said the theft had not been reported to them, One of the petitions asked for s referendum of the absent voters law while another would initiate a law making it a crime in North Dakota to obtain contributions from federal em- Ployes for political purposes. North Dakcte siready has sych Yaw which might be interpreted 23 applying to collections from state em- Ployes but no one ever seems to have thought of it in that light. x* *& Outline te Be Clearer Petitions to place measures on the initiated and referred ballot must he filed by March 26 and that date will bring more light on the things which North Dakota voters will have to con- sider at the election. In addition to the two measures al- veady mentioned there is the possi- bility of others recommended by the Farmer-Labor group, such as the one prohibiting any individual from own- ing more than 1,800 acres of land. ‘The probability is that persons put- ting initiated. measures on the ballot will do little campaigning for them. ‘Where they are tied in with the in- ¢erests of political groups the latter will be too busy cam! for themselves to give much attention to thety’ brain children. “ If the campaign runs true to form, however, there will be s concerted ef- fort made to beat some of them. As it stanc; now the main battle fn this ring of the political circus will be on two laws enacted by the last legislature and referred to the people. ‘These are the drastic income tax law and that permitting the sale of liquor 4n publicly-owned stores. * ment. The prospect is that be no opposing candidates w time comes for nominations. ese Too Much Enthusiasm On the Republican side the Landon advocates are doing so well it worries them. Such tests of popular sentiment as ‘re available show the Kansas gov- enor leading the pack of G. O, P. presidential aspirants by a wide mar- gin. He hag stayed at home and let his friends speak for him and they have managed to build up what prom- ises to become @ Landon tradition, The trouble is that he already is far enough in front to set the others to sniping at him—and it still is near- ly three months before the convention. The other, and worst trouble, is the enthusiasm with which Charles D. ‘Hilles and other GOP financial greats have managed to get Landon accepted in the east. With the exception of New Hampshire, which gave Frank Knox a “home-town-product” en- dorsement, Landon promises to get the delegates from every eastern state, The Hooverites resent it but can do little about it. ‘ Landon’s friends could wish that Hilles, et al, were just a@ little bit cooler toward their man. They have built up the idea that he is a sober, sensible man who looks at things as they are and not through the colored spectacles of partisan ambition or an- imosity. Unlike Knox, Hoover and Dickinson, he has given Roosevelt credit where he thought credit was due but has put his finger on the weak points o” the New .. That has been popular with the people, pare ticularly those who are waiting to see what the best choice for them to make will be. But if those same people get the idea that Landon is the darling of the great financial interests it isn’t going to help him any in the west. If the situation - develops as some Landon supporters fear it may there will be many and fretful repetitions of one of the oldest slogans. in poll- tics: “God protect me from my from page one‘ friends.” co D Magicians Favored Over Demons After Morning’s Showing Telleved as the players when the barked to end the game.

IC ONTINUE bonus and relief expenditures. Administration officials conceded the deficit this year probably will reach the highest peak in history, but they contended it was a “paper defi- cit” and that because of sinking funds | 39 1. being provided by new taxes the presi- dent was fundamentally correct. Chief cause of the conflict was the soldiers’ bonus, which congress voted to pay in cashablie bonds June 15. If all bonus certificates should be ex-/ 99 04. changed for bonds by June 30, the end of the fiscal year, this year’s deficit would climb close to $5,500,- 000,000, by far the all-time peak. The biggest in history was $3,989,000,000 in 1934, _ But $1,740,000,000 of this huge defi- cit would result from the bonus. Some of the bonus certificates are’ not ex- pected to be exchanged until after next July 1. Democratic spokesmen place the bonus in a separate category from ordinary and relief expenditures. They said the new bonus taxes of $120,000,000 a year asked by the presi- dent would more than take care of this and that it could only technically be counted in this year's deficit. They placed in the same category, expenditures under this year’s $500,- 000,000. farm program. With these items eliminated, ad- ministration leaders contended the president was holding to his budget estimate of a $3,234,000,000 deficit for the current fiscal year as against $3,- 878,000,000 last year. Senator Byrnes (Dem., 8.
