Text of Landon’s Address Powers of Gaovernment Held Campaign Issue in Speech to Conference of Young Republicans. By the Associated Press. OPEKA, Kaus., September 19— The following is the text of Gov. Alf M. Landon’s address before the National Confer- ence of Young Republicans yesterday: Mr. Bradley, ladies and gentlemen: It is gratifying to me to get your most encouraging message. You represent young men and women throughout the Nation, young men and women many of whom have the responsibility this year of casting their first vote. This Nation has always taken pride in its young voters. It has taken pride in the fact that our first voters always look forward to an active par- ticipation in our national elections. There has been a real reason for this pride. Our first voters are not content with the past. They have their eyes on the future. They have the courage and the ambition to go forward. They are determined to build a better America. They, more than any other group in our Nation, assure progress. History and experience teach that America is made over in every genera- tion. It is made over, not by wishful thinking; it is made over,-not from blue prints in Washington; it is made over by the high hopes and the honest toil of the American people. Following Footsteps Of Generations of Youth. Your presence here today is proof that you are following in the foot- steps of the generations of youth that have built America. It is proof that young America is not asleep. It is proof that the youth of this land is not willing to surrender liberty for a phantom security. I welcome you to the comradeship of a great cause. This is no ordinary campaign in which we are engaged. It is not a campaign based upon the usual par- tisan issues. It is a campaign that cuts across all party lines. Today the issue is the kind of government, and the kind of country, we are to suffering, I know. But to our young people who never have been able to find employment, the depression has meant more than this. It has robbed them of the opportunity they had dreamed of for years—the opportunity to be self-supporting, to be inde- pendent, to stand on their own feet. Not Sufficient Merely To Provide Food and Clothing. For these young people it is mnot sufficient merely to provide food and clothing. We must do more. We must convince them that our form of Government has not failed. We must prove to them that our economic system still is capable of giving them work at full pay. We must maintain their faith in the eternal value of human liberty. To those whose faith has not wavered, this may not appear such a difficult task. But let us not de- celve ourselves. The other side presents very alluring arguments. It is said, for example, that we have come to the end of an era— that our “industrial plant is complete”— that henceforth we must live on what we have. To those who give little thought to our history this may sound like good reasoning. But it is not have in the years to come. In the past, for the most part, our campaigns have dealt chiefly with how | the Government should exercise the powers it has. This is also an issue in this campaign, and a very impor- tant one. But now, in addition, we are faced by a far greater issue. This | 1s, what powers the Government shall | have and what powers it shall not | have. | The question raised by this issue— | what powers the Government shall | have and what powers it shall not have—can be the difference betwee: representative Government and or- ganized authority wielded by one man. | Once that is clearly understood by | the voters of this country, I have no| doubt as to the results. I know that | in the minds of some people, this| issue is not drawn as sharply as it spould be, and that other factors confuse the issue. Pcople Lost Savings ‘Through No Fault of Own. We see for example, the horrible suffering and distress of continued | | -THE EVENING STAR, good reasoning. It is a reasoning based upon seven years of hard times instead of upon 150 years of progress. Of course, we no longer have a geo- graphical frontier. But we have a frontier that is far more important from the point of view of the youth of this country. That is the frontier of new inventions. That was the frontier developed by the automobile industry. And that industry alone has absorbed many times as many people as ever moved across a geographical frontier during a depression. Another argument is used by those who are trying to make youth believe that they have no future under the American system. They say that American business men are no longer capable of running their own busi- nesses—of making those decisions which will assure the maximum good for the greatest number. They would have the Government make these de- cisions to an increasing extent. Argument Is Held More Dangerous and Insidious. This argument, let me warn you, is far more dangerous—far more in- sidious, than the contention that we have come to the end of an era. Be- cause on the surface it appears to be nothing more than an extension of the policy we have followed through- out our history. But there is a fundamental differ- ence between this argument and the policy we have always pursued. In the past we have had regulation of business by the Government—not di- rection and management of business by the Government. What is the dif- ference between the two? It is very simple. Under the one—in the policy we have always followed—the Gove ernment tells us what we cannot do. Under the other the Government would tell us what we must do. Under one system of Government is the um- pire, enforcing the rules made by the people. Under the other system the Government itself plays the game—the people are mere puppets. Under the one system we have in- dependence, liberty, freedom. Under the other system we lose our inde- pendence. We lose our liberty. We lose our freedom. And we lose all this without obtaining security — that security promised by those urging an ever increasing accumulation of powers to be wielded by a President of the United States. Message Offered For Other Young Voters. To the young voters among your friends and neighbors I ask you to take this message: Tell them the choice before this country, in this campaign, is not whether there have been abuses in the economic system that need to be corrected. We know that there are such abuses and we propose to do all that is within the constitutional power of Government to eliminate them. The issue is not whether the intentions of the present administration are good or bad. The real issue as we see it is this: The present administration apparently believes that there is no future for this country. It has accepted the idea tha. we have reached our peak— that ahead of us is a large standing army of unemployed, that, in con- WASHINGTON, D. C, greater and greater part in managing the details of our daily lives instead of confining itself to the expanding fleld of regulation in the pubuc ne terest. The Republican party, on the other hand, utterly rejects this philosophy. It belleves that America still' is on the upgrade, that we can- eliminate unemployment, that the Government should tighten the rules governing business, but should not attempt to manage business; that, i+ a word, America will once again be a Naticn where youth can be confident of its future, I have an abiding faith in the un- selfish purpose of the young voter— in his desire to make his Government responsive to the needs of a great Nation—in his determination to make his. vote count for his country. e JUDGE FINDS “MIRACLE” Frees Parking Violator Arrested First Time in 11 Years. Charles Daniel, colored, 41, testified in Traffic Court yesterday that he had been parking his truck in the same place and at the same hour in front of 614 Twelfth street every day for 11 years to take ashes out of s restaurant. He never got a parking ticket until yesterday, he said. “Well, if you got away with it for 11 years, the age of miracles is still with us, and you deserve one more,” Judge Edward M. Curran told Daniel sequence, the Government must play a in ordering $3 collateral returned.

PuoNe DIsmicr 5300 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1936. EXTRA-FARE BUS SERVICE ABANDONED Chevy Chase Coach Line No Longer Operating, Due to Loss of Business. The Chevy Chase coach line, an extra-fare service started 11 years ago by the old Clplttl Traction Co., be- comes a thing of the past today. ‘With the advent of major changes in the transportation service to Chevy Chase since the merger of the two old street car companies, the line has lost business, the financial losses amounting to $2,500 during the past three months, the Capital Transit Co. said. It was initiated at a fare of 25 cents, with the promise of a seat for every passenger. In its heyday 25 trips were operated in rush periods. ‘The line now makes but eight trips a day, exclusive of Sundays and holi- days. Even with reduction in its fare the line has dropped from the pic- ture with the rising of services of the Chevy Chase express bus operation. SR Embezzlement Charged.

We see people who have lost their life savings through no fault of their own. We see| Tactories idle and fields uncultivated when millions of our fellow citizens | are in need of food and clothing. And we see others apparently able to ride through the storm without personal sacrifice and without per-| sonal hardship. It is mighty hard for anybody to maintain courage and confidence in the face of such conditions, and this | should be borne in mind by every employer. It is especially hard for our young people who are trying to| get a start. As they look around they find an economic system that | seems to have broken down. Re- gardless of their training and skill, many have found it impossible to get o job. Many have been forced into the ranks of the unemployed— forced either to remain dependent upon their families, or to seek aid on | the relief rolls. To me, these young people are eamong the saddest victims of the depression. In my own mind they | have a place apart. For the others have had jobs at one time or another. They have known what it means to earn their own way.
