e Text of. Landon’s Speech Republican Nominee Tells Arizona Voters That Administration Is Biding Time tc 'ress Its Obligations. BY the Asscclated Press. PHOENIX, Arizona, October 22.— The text of Gov. Alf M. Landon’s ad- dress here last night follows: . For this neighborly welcome to Phoenix and to Arizona I thank you and your fellow citizens throughout the State most heartily. My only regret is that my visit | cannot be longer here and that I ! cannot follow it up by visiting the | othee cities and towns of this pro- gressive commonwealth. As a Kansan, I naturally feel at home among the people of this Southwest country. In Kansas we Jook upon you as our neighbors in ' the national household. Many of our problems are your problems | also. We share your pride in the | honest toil, the self-denial, the courage and common sense thst have made and will keep this re- gion “the homestead of the free.” As I came across your State from California today I could not but recall that Arizona . con- tributed the forty-eighth star to our flag. It was the admission of your State which brought fully under the Constitution and into the Union the whole of our great country from coast to coast. To- night I wish to discuss with you in the short time at my disposal how we can best keep the Union of the 48 States on a firm founda- tion. Fundamental Issue Is Preservation of System. That is the fundamental issue as I see it in this campaign— whether we shall maintain our American system of government or whether we shall surrender it for another and very different system. This is a question above party, a question that challenges our most serious consideration, not as Demo- crats or Republicans, but as Amer- icans. Through the Constitution our forefathers gave the Government they established certain rights and duties. But they specifically kept for themselves and their children the right to live their own lives, to speak freely, to write freely and to worship according to the dictates of conscience. Our Government of delegated powers, under which the ltberties of each one of us are preserved, has 80 long been a part of our lives that we have taken it all as pretty much for granted. But recent events have made us more keenly aware of the value of our time-tested system. We see its merit by contrast with the opposite forms of Government now creeping over the world— forms under which all power is placed in the hands of a ruler with the people getting only such inci- dental liberties as he allows to trickle down to them. Today's Voters to Choose System for Future Generations. Today the people of this country have a choice between the Amer- jcan system they always have known and an opposite system. This will determine whether they and their children will remain & free people, capable of self-govern= ment, or be dominated by an all- powerful central authority. We have watched this very thing happen in other nations in recent years. I am not questioning the’ hu- manitarian intentions of the pres- ent Administration. But I do wish to point out the threatening char- acter of the means the Adminis- tration uses to carry out its ine tentions. There can be no question as to the road down which we are being led. Regimentation of the indi- vidual and curb of his liberties underlie every one of the New Deal's plans. They have allowed nothing to deter them in their plan to make over our political, social and economic life. The Supreme Court already has ruled many of these plans contrary to our Con- stitution. Unfortunately, we are left in no doubt that the present Administration regards this not as an end to their efforts, but only as a minor barrier to be circumvented if it can't be hurdled. Threat Strikes at Homes, Jobs and Lives. This threatened change in our form of government is not remote. Its effects will strike directly into the homes, jobs and lives of every one of us. The reality of it is but oo well known to us. During the time we have seen laws that told farmers what they could plant in their fields, Other measures have told workers how many hours they could stay at their tasks. Certain regulations have limited industry in how much it could produce. < We see in the present adminis- tration of the grazing act another example of Federal bureaucracy run wild. If by one means or another rights to regulate can be set up, such regulations will not stop with telling farmers how many bushels of potatoes they can har- vest. If this power of regulation shall be fully established it will then be argued there is equal au-, thority to tell a man to cease farming entirely and start digging ditches, or to order women to cease wearing silk and rayon hose and to begin wearing cotton ones. Or to order all working men to work twice their present hours at half their present pay. And the work- end 10¢ for trial mcu‘ y 1 Tk o A p: ing men would have no more re- course than farmers whose good sense rebelled against some of the mandatory crop control laws of the recent past. Objective Not Dead, But Dormant, Awaiting Time, The men who framed and forced the passage of these measures have not changed their ideas. They are only biding their time until they can put them into full effect. In conclusion let me repeat what I said when I accepted the nomi- nation of my party for the presi- dency. I would not have you be- lieve that I think the Constitution is above change. The people have the right by the means they have prescribed to amend the Constitu- tion as they see fit. I do believe, however, that tie underlying principles of that charter of our freedom must be maintained if we are to continue to go forward under the protection of our American form of government. As we have grown in strength and matured in age and wisdom, as our lives have broadened and deepened, and as more experience has come to us, We can see new right things to do, and old wrong things to wipe away. But every- thing we need we may reach for and take within the great princie ples of government under which the Natiod has grown from strength to strength. “The new right things may be done and the old wrong things wiped away, as I believe, without destroying the freedom which comes to us from our fathers. It is in this faith that I take my stand on the American system of gove ernment against all comers. Jailed for Eating Cat. One month in jail was the sentence inflicted on a native of the Island of Papua, convicted of killing and eating & pedigreed Manx cat. “A month is too much,” he complained to the magistrate as the guard led him away. “There was very little meat on the cat.” [ | THE EVENING STAR.
