SPANGLER / (Executive Assistant to Chairman, Republican National Committee) Re-establishment of responsibility in the handling of government fi- nanoes is the hope held out to the American people by the election of Gov. Alf. M. Landon of Kansas to the presidency of the United States. Such responsibility has been a miss- ing factor in the more than three tortuous years of the New Deal ex- periment. The hope that now comes is relief from the most staggering bur- den of combined waste, extravagance, debt and taxation that the people of this nation have ever been asked to bear. In his speech accepting the Re- Publican nomination, Governor Lan- don declared: “We must be freed from excessive expenditures and crippling taxation. . +» While spending billions of dol- lars of borrowed money may create @ temporary appearance of prosper- ity, we and our children, as taxpay- ers, have yet to pay the bill. For every single dollar spent, we will pay back two dollars... . Our party holds nothing to be of more urgent impor- tance than putting our financial house in order. For the good of all of us, we must re-establish respon- sibility in the handling of government finances.” aes a Charges Waste, Heavy Taxes 7 © by Dr. Warwick; Ft.

That is what Governor Landon meant when he called upon the New Dealers to “Stop this fumbling with recovery.” He meant, as well, “Stop this profll- gate waste of the people’s money!” When a government follows a “rob- bing Peter to pay Paul” policy in its national financing, the day of reckon- ing cannot be long delayed. The load 4s already so enormous that even though the government taxes to the utmost limits the incomes of those best able to pay, the average tax- payer will still have to bear the major part. What the New Dealers have done is easily understood. They have sim- ply spent twice as much money as they have received. During the three years ending July 30, 1936, they spent $24,362,000,000.

They tell so many things that are not true, forecast so many things that never happen that the average layman is reduced fo a constant state of suspicion. A good many Amer- icans who put their faith and money into stocks not so many years ago have learned that it pays to beware. But every now and then one of these gentry pops up with something of more than ordinary interest and the statement by Roger W. Babson that business was back to normal on Sept. 18 and any advances from here on will be into new high territory is as surprising as it is pleasant to hear. Says Mr. Babson in a copyrighted article which he has given The Tribune permission to use: “Today, for the first time in seven years, business has reached the X-Y normal line on the Babsonchart.: Ever since the summer of 1930 this country has been wallowing in a period of depression. ‘This week, however, the Babsonchart index of business is crossing the normal line. We are now entering a period of prosperity for the first time in 14 years. Hence, we have passed the last milestone on the recovery trail and are now heading onto the highway of pros- perity. “Optimistic news is pouring in from every industry. Earnings Teports of leading companies for the first half of 1936 were the most cheerful since 1930 and in many cases were the best in history. Business profits show a 50 per cent gain over a year ago. Industrial chieftains are signifying their confidence in the future by expand- ing plants, building up sales organizations, taking on new workers. Estimates place the unemployed today at 9,500,000 against 11,500,000 @ year ago. Good business news in general and excellent company Teports in particular are responsible for the almost unbroken gain in stock prices during the past 18 months. The rest of the article contains advice which is of interest + to investors but means less to the non-investing portion of the public. For men putting their money into stocks he recom- mends “careful selection and proper diversification,” an old rule but one which he feels it is particularly necessary to ob- of revenue, humane, good decency.
