ably true. That organization has so
many recognized and informal allies,
ranging from the Liberty League
to Mr. John H. Kirby’s Southern
Committee to Uphold the Constitu

have no trouble keeping its skirts
reasonably clean during the cam
paign of abuse and falsehood that is
so cleverly presaged by what has
already been done.
Playing Havoc With Potatoes—and
The Truth
Anybody who recalls the whisp
ering forays of -the 1928 and 1932
campaigns will appreciate how it Is
done. In neither of those two cam
paigns did the offical G. O. P. or
ganization endorse the issues of
n scandal and intolerance, but these
things continued right un to election
H'dnv in both cases,

JOHN: “Gosh!"
MARY: "Do we have to pay it?" j
CLERK: "It is a debt. It must oej
paid."
JOHN: "Before we get married"’ j
CLERK: “No. but you have to j
carry that burden and pay interest |
on it, in addition to the money you
have to pay out to support all the
ether government expenses."
MARY: "How muh is all that?"
CLERK: "The average per fam
ily is $240 per year, about $4.60 a
week. And that doesn’t include the
money you pay out to run your city,
county and state governments."
MARY: “Why. that leaves only
$20.40 a week for us. even after
John gets his raise."
So they mournfully decided that
they could not afford to marry,
which is too*had. particularly as
John’s earnings were far below even
the lowest brackets of the tax list
and so their fears were groundless.
The passage, however, is most
interesting inasmuch as it throws a
new light on the opposition of some
of our citizens to the tax program.
It appears from the lesson of the
playlet that the duPont family,

Said W. B. McKinnon, local Fcrd
dealer recently: “In my opinion, one
cf the chief reasons for Ford’s out
standing sales leadership in 1935
—when over one million Ford cars
and trucks were sold—was the care
ful attention which designers and
engineers gave tc the building of
the Ford automobile.
For instance, the purchaser does
not have to pay extra money for
safety glass all around. Safety glass
needed for safe driving anywhere,
d is required by law in many
statrc.
Furthermore, Ford was the first
low-price car to give the public the
extra protection of a steel body, a
type of construction that is univer
sally regarded as a safety factor of
prime importance.
“Lately, there has been a growing
public demand for automobiles that
