Entered as second class mail matter a the post office of Mount Vernon, Iowa, aw Lisbon, Iowa National Debt Staggers One The total figures of the nationa, debt are so large and seem so fa, away that few people give them much consideration. The write~ was like She rest of you until shak- en out of his indifference by a rough estimate of this county's share of the debt last week. Figures printed in an article on page one show that for Mount Vernon and Lisbon the per capita share of the national debt is equivalent to approximately hall of the net taxable valuation o~ real estate in the towns. What have the towns received from ~his great increase in in- debtedness. At Mount Vernon an estimated $50,000 has been spent on an athletic field. An estimates $250,000 has been spent on the Palisades dam. Lisbon and Mounu Vernon overhauled their sewage dispo~l plants. Lisbon has a PWA grant on a school house ana Mount Vernon has one for a stana pipe. In the townships the farmers have had their benefit ohecks front the government. The net result, when you look at the picture all at once, is that thea~ communities' share of the national debt m not a great ways from wna~ has been received. "Dhere is no Santa Claus stuff in it. The debt is a mortgage on every piece o~ property and if it is defaulted it will be taken from the citizens in a different way. We do not see how such a pro- gram of spending can continu~ without wrecking the government and the people. KING THOMPSON IS AN OUTSTANDING O]~'FICER King Them,peon is a county at- torney of which Linn county can be proud. He is held in high re- spect by the members of the bar in the county. The administration o~ *his important office has been fear- lewes and competent. The County Attorneys a~ociation of Iowa ha~ honored him by election as presi£ dent of their association. During his term of office Linn county has not been put to any extra expense by employment of special prose- cutors as might be the ca~e if a less experienced lawyer held the of- /Ice. Mr. Thompson ia well quali- fied to serve as attorney general Of the state to say nothing of making an unusually competent county at- torney. If the voters appreciate and value competence and efficien- cy in office, they should strongly support men like King Thompson. ~T, EE SPF_~ECH ON THE RADIO Beaks Carter, well known radio commentator, in a speech on the lecture course at Ames last week said: There is no such thing as free speech by any radio news common- tater. Due to the power behind the licensing of radio networks, and the fear of displeasing the "higherups" such a thing as free speech is impo~ible because of the blue pencil method of reviewing all script," Things are bad enough now with- out clamping any more censorship on radio as has .been proposed again this week. The following articles were received from the Republi- can campaign headquaxtem and are printed to give the Republican slant on the pres- ent campaign. George Wilson Wrote Framework Of Moratorium Law There never was a more mislead- ing political campaign made than that carried on by the Democratic candidate for Governor, in both the campaigns of 1936 and this year. We refer particularly now to two laws on the statute books of Iowa: the moratorium and the homestead exemption. The Iowa moratorium law now in use was largely the child of the Re- publican candidate for Governor, Gee. Wilson, as he drafted the framework of that law which has saved hundreds of farms for their owners. Mr. Wilson, while in the Senate, was a member of the original cam- MOUNT ~ON, IOWA, HAWKEYE-]KECORD AND THE LISBON HERALD IIII Ir .... 11111 ] " -- -- ulll mittee of eight who compiled the ed the district spreading the story]the difficult stunts she had per- law's provisions.

Next was an Old Fashion- moratorium law six of the seven record in public life. led Song by four Co-eds from the times the matter came before the * * * * ~Seventh grade: Shirley Minntck, Senate's consideration. One of Candidate George Wilson's mar- Betty Herring, Jean Hunt, and these six times saw his vote in fay- tgage foreclosure activities before or of the law as it now stands. The only time that Mr. Wilson did not support the measure was after Mr. Valentine, then Senator but now the present Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Gover- nor, had so killed the usefulness of the bill by 10 amendments that Mr. Wilson voted against it as a protest, hoping to get it back into • ts original form. Mr. Wilson himself moved that ~he bill be made a special order of business, so that the bill could be enacted into law in time to save the farms from foreclosure. Senator Wilson's votes are a mat- mr of record. The Democrats say aothing of his six votes in favor of abe bid, but harp upon his one vote ~gainst it when Senator Valentine ,ad largely killed its usefulness ~tth his 1O amendments. The farmers of Iowa are entitled ~o know the truth and if they do mey will support George Wilson and condemn his opposition. Promises To Return State Government To the People he visioned himself as gubernator- ial timber rose up to haunt him in a recent visit to New Sharon. Described in the Oskaloosa-Tri- buns, Mr. Wilson, stopped off in New Sharon for a bit of handshak- ing. Getting out of his auto in front of the postoffice, he stepped up to a nearby man and introduc- ed himself. The gentleman replied that the introduction was not needed, but introduced himself in turn as A1 Lenhart. "Yes, I know you," Lenhart told him. "You're the Des Moines law- who tried to foreclose on my farm and take a deficiency judg- ment. All this was without auth- orization of the insurance company because you were so anxious to col- lect fees." A crowd was forming when Mr Wilson discreetly left town. * • s $ Senator Clyde L. Herring, who has taken little part in the cam- paign to date, is scheduled to take to the platform during the closing days of the campaign. He is book- .... ed to appear at Clinton, Nov. 4, Adel, Iowa, Nov. 1--Special--A Bloomfield Nov. 5, and Sioux City p,edge to "take our government out Nov. 7. Last week he had appear- of Des Moines and return it to the aces at Centerville and OskalooJa. people in their own localities" was .cads by George Wilson, Republi ~an candidate for Governor, in at- tacking the "big business dictator- m~p of the Kraschel regime" at a .ally meeting here Monday noon. "We worry about European dic- tators, and the danger of Washing- .on dictatorship, but one of the ~nost iron-clad dictatorships any- zhere is that of Governor Kras- zhel and his organization of 8,700 Jalaried state workers Which seeks ~o exert an iron control on every .emote hamlet in Iowa, from the ~overnor's office in Des Moines," Wilson charged. "The highways ead~ng into Des Moines are crowd- .d every Friday evening and Mon- day morning with state inspectors, .neckers. and politica1 errand-run- mrs, coming in to make their re- sorts and going out again to ex- :cute orders from the high cam- ,and. Not even the smallest ham- ~et escapes them, not even the i ;mallest business man is immune :ram their prying and snooping. "There are gas tax inspectors, Agaret tax investigators, beer tax mspectors, sales tax auditors; there are coordinators, liaison men, sur- ~ey workers and an almost endless .amber of others, Functions which sere formerly assumed by our .ocal governing bodies have been arawn into the network of the ~tate machine adding thousands of workers to the Kraschel state payroll, and adding tens of thous- ands of dollars to our taxes. "The state house isn't large enough to hold all of them. The Jver~low cannot even be accommo- dated in the state office buiidings. • he state has taken over floor after floor of Des Moines down- ~own buildings, to house this ever growing army which is fattening at the public trough. And the money is being drawn out of towns and rural communities all over Iowa, to pay the bill. With both parties stressing the ~eed of getting out the vote, politi- ml observers predict a total poll of 850,000 or 990,000 on Nov. 8. rhis will be a good showing for a non-presidential year. Two years ~go the total reached more thar 1,100,000, but greater interest is al. ways generated when a presiden- race is on. In the governorship race of 1934 total vote was around 860,000.

Does one man have the right to take an- other's life by deliberately pressing the button for the electric chair, or ,ulling the rope about another's neck? True, the one in question may have taken the life of an in- nocent being, but was he in his right mind at the time? Can a sane man commit so terrible a .rime as killing another man? Too many times death is given on circumstantial evidence only. take for instance the case of Bruno Hauptmann, who never did con- Ccss his guilt. It must have left a queer feeling within the man who ~urned on the juice, and took the life of perhaps an innocent man. If a man confesses his guilt, then life imprisonment should be the penalty.

But his opponent, George Wilson, had been in Onawa the night before repeating in his characteristically exaggerated way what he called facts about the Kraschel administration. The Governor decided it was time to take off the gloves and re- sort to the rough and tumble plat- form style he used so effectively in 1934. He dedicated the project in non-political style, closed his speech, then told his audience he was going to talk a little "hot poli- tics" and if any of them were not interested they were at liberty to call it a day and leave. None left. "His statement is just a plain un- varnished lie, and he knows it," was Governor Kraschel's descrip- tion of Wilson's statement of night before that taxes had more than doubled and the number of sttae employees tripled since 1932. Kraschel called attention to his speech of a few days before, which he had printed for setting forth the cold facts. He also resented verbally the "maligning" of Secretary of Agri- culture Wallace and Governor Valentine by "cheap, chizzling, lying politicians."

The students are all hoping that Genevieve and her class will appear again sometime. SNOW Snow is a relief. There is some- thing quiet and restful about snow to see it lazily drift down to earth and eventually cover the world with a dazzling white blanket. The first snowfall of winter is always so beautiful. All summer long you have seen nothing but green grass and brightly colored leaves, and towards the end of summer you begin to grow weary of them and ¢ou want a change. Overnight the snow comes as if in answer to your wish and the world is changed. The housetops are vast expanses of even white. The trees have lost a lot of their leaves and their branches are outlined in white. The tops of the grass are barely visible through the snow. The roads stretch ou~ in long strips of sno-x marred here and there by the tracks of a car. Even the people are changed. Flakes of snow cling to their clothes and faces. Their cheeks are red and healthy looking and they go about their %usiness with a crispness never felt in sum- mer. It is strangely satisfying to feel the snow bounce off of your cheek and you feel so secure with- in your overcoat, just as if you were looking out of the world as • -ou walk along. Nothing can es- oape the penetrating snow. Even ,the smallest of wires will retain a tiny ridge of snow. The sultryness of summer is gone and everywhere is the irrisistible pleasantness of the snow.

Little Black Samba was played by Albert Gaines; Mother Mumbo by Nancy LOu Mlnlck: Father Jumbo by Bobby Collins; the Tigers were Loren Hammond, Buddy Bridges, Richard Nelson, Dewayne .Melchert. The characters in "The Three Bears were: Mother Bear, Mary Ann Studt; Father Bear Buddy Bridges: Baby Bear. Bobby Collins; Goldilocks, Ruth Thompson. They made furniture out of orange boxes for the play of the bears. They arranged the room to the effect of a woods, where the scene of little black Sambo was to take place. They took a walk in the woods after dramatizing these plays to keep the effect in mind. They have been taught courtesy to the far~herest extent, being very ~ourteous to each other, and help- ing any way they can. There are too many pupils for all to take part in the plays, so they have an aud- ience with the remaining pupils, being intent listeners. They have learned to sit up straight, and to stop talking when the teacher or another pupil is talking. The first grade are reading out of books now. They are making Hallowe'en decorations, hangin~r them on the curtains, windows, and ,bulletin boards. This gives the room a gay color and shows in- telligence in art.
