Wash. D. C., there is something in the wind. With our women folks organiz ed and laying down the law that this thing of keeping out of wars has gotta be something besides just talk—we will keep out. Some folks have picked up the wrong idea about our women. They just been judging them by their hats or maybe their seer- sucker pantaloons, etc. And I saw a hat ad today. The ad said it was a hat, but at first I was confused. Also the ad said, it was a SIMPLE hat, yet DASH- ING and EXCITING. Brothers, brace yourselves. But I am clear off the subject And if I was down there in Con gress and lettin’ on like I was a statesman but being just a rub. ber stamp, I would feel uneas: The rolling pin has made this country what it is today.

THE BUDGET PROBLEM (Centinued from Page One) at full throttle. Repeated de- mands in Congress that a portion of the defense funds be diverted from extravagant and wasteful pump-priming enterprises have been rejected by the President. More than 50,000 persons have \ been added to the civil payrolls of the Federal government dur- ing the last ninety days. For the first time in our history the Fed- eral bureaucracy now numbers more than 1,000,000 payrollers, exclusive of all military person- nel and relief workers. The peak employment in the Federal government during the World war was 918,000. The New Deal passed this World war peak in June, 1939, two months before the European war started, and al- most a year before President Roosevelt recommended expan- sion of the national defenses. There is, as the effect of the New Deal's ruinous fiscal policies, the continuous threat of infla- tion. What would be the results of such inflation? Untold hardships will be vis- ited on ail our people. Savings, big and little, will lose most of their value. Insur- ance companies and banks will go to the wall. The endowments of our charitable, fraternal, so- cial, religious and education in- stitutions, endowments which have taken years to create, will be reduced to a mere pittance. The increase in the cost of liv- ing will put even the essentials of life—adequate food, clothing and shelter—beyond the reach of a majority of the population. Even j, those yet unborn will pay the price of our folly. No person or group of persons will escape. Wage earners will see the purchasing power of their pay envelopes shrink as infla- tion brings a ruinous rise in prices. As a result the worker’: standard of living will be reduce: to the barest subsistence level. Salary workers will be hit even more quickly, for salaries are relatively fixed and adjustments are not made as rapidly. Thi who live on pensions, annuit or interest from life-time savings will meet a like fate. Farmers will suffer even more than other groups for though they might seem to gain temporarily while prices are moving up, this in the end will be an illusive gain Recall that the source of present farm problems lies in war, infla- tion. Should we embark upon a similar inflation, the farmer can look forward only to more of the same troubles he has been fight- ing for twenty years. eee Furthermore it is doubtful if our system of free government and free private enterprise could withstand this shock.

THIS FISHERMAN CALLS HIS SHOTS | Ms (By Associated Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky.—A member of Hamilton Herr’s fishing party got a strike from a trout but the fish broke the line and escaped with the tackle. Herr added to the party’s dis- belief by saying he saw the trout. Nettled by derision, he vowed he would go back the next day and catch it. He did. He brought in a 19- pound trout with the hook and artificial fly caught in its mouth. N . : : . Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs set the all-time home run record in the National League for a single season in 1930 by hitting 56 four-baggers. ere government spending and lation first ran their course. The first step toward real na- tional defense remains today, as a year ago, a restoration of order and stability in Federal finances. President Roosevelt himself minded the nation with such mpressive eloquence in 1932, “too in history liberal govern- 's have been wrecked on the ‘ocks of loose fiscal policy”.
