The stage has been set for it for a long time. Plenty of money is available and the need grows more obvious daily. The only thing which has held it back is uncertainty on the part of business as to the future outlook because of fear of what the national administration might do to upset its plans. The facts are clear enough. Electric consumption now is at the highest rate in our his- tory and still growing. Generating capacity is rapidly dropping near the danger point, for in this business it is necessary to have capacity well.in excess of normal requirements. From 1920 to 1932, this industry did more building than any other. During the last three years it has not gone in for fur- ther investment because it felt that the Roosevelt administra- tion was pursuing it with a club and a gun. It has wanted to “wait and see,” : But new construction cannot be put off much longer. Whether Landon or Roosevelt is elected, this big factor in our nation’s affairs will have to protect itself by additional con- struction. If Landon is elected it will come more quickly. But whoever is elected it will come. In 57 of 74 cities covered by a recent survey rents still are rising. Home building has increased by 71 per cent in 1936 but the shortage in housing continues to grow larger. More homes obviously are needed. Here the cause for delay is somewhat different than pre- vails in the cleciric industry. Building of homes by would-be home owners is delayed because they haven’t enough money. They might be able to do it if they marshalled their resources but a great many are putting their money into luxuries and a higher standard of general living, hence home-ownership is suffering. People with money to invest, on the other hand, also are fearful of the outlook. 4 If Landon is elected this moncy will loosen up at once. Tf Roosevelt is re-elected they will resign themselves to four more years of the New Deal and go ahead anyway. A building boom is long overdue. It will come—and soon —regardless of politics. Knowledge Is Power Few old saws have more truth in them than that one about . knowledge being power. We give point to it every time we call a doctor, or a plumber, or some one to fix the automobile, and evidences that it is true abound on every hand. Recently, for example, three men were motoring through the country when something went haywire. They fiddled with the motor but. it just wouldn't run. They were helpless. Along came a farm youth, not nearly so well educated as they, and inquired if he could give them a lift. They doubted that he could but told him their trouble—and he fixed it. All that was wrong was that the carburetor had gotten out of adjustment. The boy had been “reading up” on motors and could tell from the way the motor acted what was. wrong with it. The rancher who knows cattle buys and sells to advan- tage. The farmer who knows how to make the best use of his Jand does better than his neighbor who lacks such knowledge. The merchant who best gauges his market and the desires of his.customers makes the most profit. All of which is a long prelude to the observations of W. A. Craft, in charge of government research on swine that farmers soon will be keeping the same kind of records on hogs that » they long have been keeping on dairy cows. . Tests show that some litters put on 100 pounds of meat on } 325 pounds of feed. Other litters of the same breed need 500 ‘| pounds of feed. Pigs which make the best use of feed reach ¥ the desirable weight of 225 pounds as much as 100 days before « their less efficient cousins. The farmer who knows which pigs grow fastest, and keeps those pigs for foundation stock, is demonstrating that knowl- edge is power just as surely as the boy who fixed the automobile « beside the road: : Answer to a Holocaust Fire losses in rural America totaled approximately $100,000,000 last year and approximately 3,500 persons lost their lives in them. : Experts looking the matter over recommend such things BOTH SIDES of the CAMPAIGN DICKINSON LABELS ROOSEVELT ‘GREATEST PROMISE BREAKER’ By Lester J. Dickinson (United States Senator From Towa) ‘When a man makes a promise and breaks it, then’ makes another and breaks that, and coftradicts himself time and again, can he ever be trust- ed to fulfill any future pledge that he makes? This is the situation that confronts Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal party as they stand today at the crossroads of American public opin- fon. The facts are, and the record sup- ports it, that Roosevelt is the greatest promise-breaker chief executive in the history of the nation, and that he has never hesitated to turn from a Pledge when political expendiency de- mianded that action. Governor Landon’s record as chief executive of Kansas shows that he has never made a promise he'could not. “| fill, nor broken one that he ever made. He has been upright and straightforward, carrying on his state government on a pay-as-you-go basis. In his acceptance speech, he said simply, “It (the party plaform) has my complete adherence,” and after outlining Republican plans for recov- ery, added, “We bind ourselves, with &@ pledge we shall not ignore, thrust uside, or forget, to devote our whole energy to bringing these things about.” Scanning the Record A glance at the Roosevelt record tells a different tale. On March 4, 1933, Mr, Roosvelt swore to uphold and preserve the constitution. Dur- ing his administration he has fath- ered nine pieces of legislation de- clared unconstitutional by the U. 8. supreme court, and in writing to Rep- resentative Samuel B. Hill, Democrat, ot Washington regarding the Guffey coal act, Mr. Roosevelt said: “I hope your committee will not permit doubts as to constitutionality, however rea- sonable, to block the suggested legis- lation.” The time that has been wasted by unconstitutional and visionary re- forms constitutes an irreparable loss to the nation. Quit Gold Standard President Roosevelt promised “a sound currency, to be preserved at all hazards.” On April 30, 1933, he aban- doned the gold standard in the Unit- ed States by executive order; on May 12 of the same year he signed a bill giving him power to issue $3,000,000,- 000 in fiat money, and on Jan. 31, 1934, he fixed the gold content of the dollar at 59.06 per cent of what it had formerly been. President Roosevelt called the spending of the Hoover administra- tion “the most reckless and extrava- gant pace” discoverable in any peacetime government. He promised @ saving of 25 per cent in the cost of federal government. The New Deal government in- creased the Hoover spending by 38 per cent in 1934; by 43 per cent in 1935; and by 92 per cent in 1936. It created more than-50 additional bu- reaus and agencies. The nation's chief executive prom- ised to avoid the danger of a loose fiscal policy, and to set an example by making the government solvent. From March 4, 1933, to July 30, 1936, the New Dealers have increased the national debt by $13,563,000.000, an all-time high of $34,500,000,000. Yet in his budget message of Jan. 3, 1936, the president said, “The credit ot the government is at its highest.” Spending Is Rapped President Roosevelt promised in his inaugural address to make “the in- come balance outgo.” During his ad- ministration, he has spent more than twice as much as the government has received, expending $24,362,000,000 while taking in $10,832,000,000. The president declared on Oct. 19, 1832, in Pittsburgh, “Our people and our business cannot carry its excessive burdens of taxation.” Passing 14 dif- ferent pieces of tax legislation, esti- mated tax receipts in 1937 represent at; increase of 196 per cent over 1933. In 1934, the president deplored hidden, consumer taxes. On Sept. 2, '35, in a letter to Publisher Roy W. How- ard, he admitted that consumer taxes, which had suppiled only 30 per cent of the ‘national revenue in 1929, today are supplying 60 per cent of that total. President Roosevelt declared on Jan, 4, 1935, “The federal government must and shall quit this business of relief.” Today there are approximate- ly 11,000,000 people unemployed, while WPA Administrator Harry L. Hopkins estimates that on Jan. 1, 1936, at least 19,000,000 people were receiving relief benefits. Charges Relief Politics On Feb. 2, 1934, President Roosevelt condemned politics in relief. New Deal leaders in politics all over the nation, by letter and otherwise, warned those receiving relief and holding WPA jobs to register Demo- cratic or else lose their jobs. In accepting his nomination, Presi- dent Roosevelt subscribed to the re- moval of government from all fields of private enterprise, except where this was in the public interest. At least 20 government agencies created since March 4, 1933, compete with private enterprise. On May 7, 1933, President Roose- velt decried government control of business. In its ruling on the NRA, the U. S. supreme court declared that under that act there would be “virtu- ally no limit to the federal power, as better education for fire prevention and even the organiza- tion of rural fire departments, but they.seem to overlook the most attractive way to reduce this terrific holocaust. That way is to improve the standard of rural ‘housing. Because poverty has settled over our farms, few new homes have been built.in rural America in recent years. Practically none: are of fireproof or fire resistant construction. _ If and when farm prosperity is so restored that farmers * cant live in the kind of homes they would like to have a great ' msr7_ old hoyses will be abandoned—and the new ones will be spodern construction which does not burn easily. orgie 3 % e.ete “alte strike,” Dora thinks, is what her bowler friend with the ‘The sagoncer” 1 probably Roop score by Tuelou and, for all practical purposes, we should have a completely centralized government.” Agencies on Increase In his campaign speeches, President Roosevelt called for a simplification of government activities, Today there are three different federal commit- tees, each independent of the other, studying overlapping services in the federal government.

INAUGURATION MOVED UP FROM MARCH 4&3 BY LAME-DuCcK AMENDMENT. Looking at the Campaign (Copyright, 1936, by David Lawrence) Sioux Falls, S. D, Sept. 29.—This state is fighting ground for both part- jes. Out of a total of 290,000 votes, the decision will be made by about 15,000 voters. The best information obtainable from Democratic sources is that the state will be carried by President Roosevelt with somewhere between 25,000 and 35,000 majority. Conversely, the Republican estimates. of victory do not go beyond 20.000 majority. Somewhere between these two rather conservative appraisals is a small but important balance of power group. It may be the “relief” vote, which the: Democratic leaders frankly insist is for Roosevelt. There are about 50,000 families on relief and something around $50,000,000 has been spent on direct relief, though the total spent in the state by federal agencies is in the neighborhood of $290,000,000 in the last three years. If we figure two voters to a family, there are 100,000 votes involved in the telief vote. But some of this must have been Democratic before, possibly 60 per cent, since that was the ratio of Democratic to Republican in the state in previous elections. So if 40,- 000 Republicans are now on relief, and if it is true, as Dr. Gallup claims in his poll, that 80 per cent of the relief vote will be for Roosevelt, then 80 per cent of the 40,000 would mean 32,000 added from relief sources to the nor- mal Democratic vote. ‘It would be enough to swing the state to Roosevelt, provided there were no corresponding defections from Roosevelt to Landon among the self-supporting citizens. In the last election, Mr. Roosevelt won by about 83,000, so it is obvious that both Republicans and Democrats with are expecting a greatly reduged vote for Mr. Roosevelt. Just why the relief vote should di- vide this year any differently from any other group of voters is net diffi- cult to understand if there is to be active campaigning among the relief workers and if they are to be ad- vised that the money being tendered them came out of Democratic pocket books only. As a matter of fact, relief money comes out of the federal treasury and if it were possible to get the political affiliations of the income tax payers of this country, it might be found that there are more Republicans ‘than Democrats among them. Certainly it would be discovered that the “economic royalists” pay fat sums into the federal treasury and most of these “economic royalists” are supposed to be Republicans. So the income tax receipts which are being used for relief come out of Republican pocketbooks as much if not more than out of Democratic and, strictly speak- ing, the relief workers might be thank- ful to both, if voting is to based on gratitude. I found Sioux Falls a busy little city. It taps a rich area,.and this Sioux valley doesn’t look as if it had been touched by drouth conditions at all. Indeed, it is very unfortunate that eastern people have been given by the New Dealers the idea that this is wholly a land of distress, {or it isn't, except in certain stretches in the mid- dle part of the state. ‘The vast amount of federal money poured into the state has produced a sort of prosperity which reflects itself in increased bank clearings and great- ly increased postal receipts.

This I have found also in ‘other western states where there has been @ good deal of federal spending. Next March, however, when some of the same business men are going to be making out income returns on the new surplus corporation tax, they will not be so happy about the share they will be permitted to retain. The Democratic organization here- abouts is well knit and harmonious, and if it succeeds in getting its vote to the polls its chances of carrying the state are better than even. The Republican organization has plenty of thusiasm, but very little, if any, joney to.compete with the federal of- fice holder organization and the re- Nef vote. The Republicans have an cutside chance of carrying South Da- kota if they can get the funds for the intensive organization work they have ahead of them. Meanwhile, if I had tu predict on the basis of today's stat- us, I would not put this down as yet as 2. London state but as one in which the Roosevelt forces have the edge.
