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.

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-

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.

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,

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.

orthodox lines. 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-

interested they were at liberty to
call it a day and leave.
None left.

varnished lie, and he knows it,"
was Governor Kraschel's descrip-

night before that taxes had more

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-

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. Jim Eyre.
