If American Financier*, Million
aim and Billionaires want to
keep and maintain a nation that
ia patriotic to the core, let them
arrange financial conditions so that
every family In this nation can
own their home, be It ever so
humble.

One of the leading players of
The Clarendon Football Bunch,
writes the News man: "We Just
whipped the 'Houn' out of the
Memphis boys in our last game
with them. However we had to
fight like L to do It. I am sore
all over and lost a great deal of
skin in the mele. Yes, we poured
It on them to the tune of twelve
to NOTHING. That is what I call
playing football. Believe me, "Bud",
when they go up against the
Clarendon football boys tney are
up against a bunch that really
know how to play football. The
Memphis boys admitted that when
the game was over."

The P. T. A. of the United
States, according to The Ventura
Free Press, is opposed to all Radio
Advertising, believing as they do
that the radio snould be used for
educational as weil as entertain-
ment only. They want the Radio
used ONLY for educational as well
as for entertainment and go on
record as opposing the commercial-
ization of the Radio, or the using
of Broadcasting stations for adver-
tising purposes or for a money
making proposition, as against the
educational and entertainment of
our people. They are opposed to all
advertising of any nature, going
on the air. Advertising monopoly
interferes with educational and
entertainment over the air which
belongs to the people and not to
Commercial Advertisers.

The American people are the
most patriotic people in the world
You let any foreign foe land
on any'part of the United States,
and every boy from the age of
ten years up to 90 years of age
would shoulder a gun and it
would almost take force to keep
them out of the conflict. For
this good reason, we say CON-
SCRIPTION Is a disgrace to any
nation. You never have to con
script any one when your cause
is just. There is something RAD-
ICALLY WRONG with your Cause
when you have to resort to con-
scription. Secondly, what man of
us has a better right to say
whether any individual shall go
to war and pay the supreme sac-
rifice, than the party who is
ask to go? Thirdly, when a major-
ity of any people are homeless,
haven't any land or home that
they can call their own. what
reason have they for volunteering
their lives to protect something
that belongs to another, some-
thing they have no financial in-
terest in?

One of our weekly Exchanges
said, editorially, last week: "A
number of our places of business
closed up for a few hours on
Armistice Day while owners went
out for a short time on amusement
trips, thinking very little of who
paid and paid dearly for American
Freedom." That would make a
right thinking man laugh, if it
was not so serious to know that
thousands of America's best man-
hood was needlessly slaughtered on
the foreign fields of battle. Again,
America was not in bondage to
any foreign foe, therefore need-
ed no FREEDOM, as our contem-
porary suggests. American boys
were FORCED into a war to free
other nations—forced into a con-
flict without their wishes being
consulted—to be MURDERED and
to die to FREE other nations
who think so little about MUR-
DERING America's best manhood,
that they don't want to even
pay an honest debt. Talk about
America's freedom is to laugh. All
Honor, Praises and Adoration
ahould be given our American
Legions and those who paid the
supreme sacrifice over there to
free a nation that does not give
• rap for American Manhood,
because these patriotic boys were
Oonacrtpted, and many of them
were not allowed to pass their
Judgapent ion whether it was
right to OIVE UP THEIR LIVES
for such a cause that was foreign
to the wishes of many of our
bay*. When other nations, across
the "pond", get mixed up in a
war for PELF, for craft, it is
not our buetneei to interfere and
get Into the mote. low argued

mil PRESS IN DALLAS NEWS
AVAIDS OUR QUESTION
Some time back The Claude News
editor gave his opinion as to
how to keep the rich from growing
richer and the poor poorer. His
solution of the proposition was to
nake the Income tax and In-
heritance tax Stronger and stronger
until the money of the rich had
amassed or were amassing be
aken from them by the Income
tax, making the tax stronger
ifter any individual or corporation's
income reached $500,000 a year and
,vhen it reaches a million a year
:lear profit, take three-fourths or
>ven more of their income, be
■ause no man can honestly or
ligitlmately make $1,000,000 a year
without charging more for hi;
;oods than what we call a Uglti
nate profit. Colonel Taylor, of
Hate press, in The Dallas Mom-
ng News, replied, in a way, to
)ur editorial. Finding that he did
tot agree with our opinion rela
live to the Income tax being ln-
•reased to stop the poor from
>ecoming poorer and the rich
richer, we ask him to give hi>-
objections to our solution and to
ilso, give us his remedy. We felt
sure that his REMEDY would be
an honest, unbiased and righteous
me, and that if we found it to
be a better remedy than ours
that we would substitute his
remedy for ours. We ask him. in
all sincerity, for his solution of
this much mooted question. Now.
he may have objections to our
solution, because it might have
some weight on the number of
inches of advertising The Dallas
News carries each day, If he ad-
vocated the same solution that we
do. And again he could be honestly
opposed to our way of looking at
it. We are not saying that Col.
Taylor is dishonest in any sense
of the term. Knowing his ability
as a writer and thinker, we ask
him: "What is your solution of
this question?" For the second
time Col. Taylor comes back with
an evasive reply. Read it over and
make your own decission as to
whether he is trying to avoid the
question. It reads as follows:
It was charged by The Claude
News contemporary that certain
interests or individuals were rob-
ing and plundering the common
people, therefore the robbers and
plunderers should be stripped of
their gains by the forces of the
law. State Press agrees that such
robbers and plunderers should be
brought up short, and suggested If
anybody out Armstrong County
way was robbing and plundering
she common people the law In
Armstrong County should take
notice. It developes later .apparent-
ly, that nobody in Armstrong
County or that general Panhandle
area is robbing and plundering
the common people, but Editor
Waggoner is convinced that such
scandalous practice Is life in other
regions. Possibly the other regions
could give themselves a clean bill
of health, just as Armstrong County
has been given one by its editor.
But now we learn that the robbers
and plunderers are those who
make over $1,000,000 a year. 'No
man can justly earn a million
dollars in one year,' we are assured.
Possibly so. if we may define the
word "earn" in the terms of
salary and commission. But does
Editor Waggoner know, except per-
haps by hearsay, that anybody is
guilty of earning a million dollars
a year? Many corporations earn,
or used to earn even more than
that. They are or were engaged
in big business. There have been
accounts of one or two individuals
receiving each a salary and per-
quisites to more than a million
year. Whether they earned their
pay or not would seem to depend
upon the point of view. In neither
case has there been any charge
that the recipient robbed or plun-
dered the common people."
"There has been accounts of one
or two individuals receiving a
salary of more than a million ",
the colonel tells us. That is the
truth. You take a shrewd, brainy
business man, who has the ability
to direct any business so it will
make for the stockholders or an in-
dividual owner, several million
dollars a year, and why not give
him a part of the "Swill"; why
not give him a part of what he
takes from the public by his "skin
game" operation, that of charging
more for the goods than a ligiti-
mate profit? The people and their
labors make value and without the
people there would be no value.
Why not give back to the people
a ligitimate part of what their
labors produce? This done, and the
Poor would not be growing poorer
and the rich richer at the rapid
pace that has been going on the
PMt few years!

the signing of this treaty would
not amount to the scrap of paper
it was written upon. Such an
idea was not far fetched, judging
by the way the Japanese have dis
honored their pledge to the r^wgnf
and are now in China killing,
plundering and trying to take from
China some territory that belongs
to China. The League of Nations
is alright, until some nation wants
to Plunder another nation, then,
they always have what they term
a good excuse for making the
other nations give them what
they want .

STUPID AFFRONTY
(Ventura. Calif., Free Press)
The tens of thousands of radio
owners In the Southwest who pre-
sumably were listening through
Station KHJ to the Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra program
broadcast from New York Sunday
afternoon were given an example
of what tawdry commercialism can
do to mar the concert.
Olin Downes, music critic of the
New York Times, had just com-
pleted the reading of an illumi-
nating introduction to Schumann's
'Spring Symphony," in which he
explained practically the mean-
ing of the opening measures. All
listeners-in were waiting for the
first notes when KHJ cut in with
a long song and dance about the
superiority of somebody's ice cream
-packed In thls-and-that con-
tainers, ready to use at a moment's
notice—get it at your nearest drug-
storcv-everybody's eating it—and
by the time KHJ's loloquacions an-
nouncer got through interferrlng,
several bars of the music had been
Played and the public failed to
hear what Mr. Downes had urged
that it particularly note.
It is this sort of affront that
has made the American public
heartily sick of radio advertising.
