THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE
Anybody who is upivards of 21,
knows that when our fair ladies
lay down the style book and the
skillet and hop the rattler for
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 w r as 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 uneasy.
The rolling pin has made this
country what it is today.
Yours with the low down.

AT SAN CARLOS
San Carlos School Board of Di
rectors announced this morning
that the reorganization of classes,
both in English and Spanish, had
been accomplished.
Instruction is now offered in
equal proportions, English and
Spanish, along scientific lines
patterned exactly after methods
used in standard schools of the
nation.
Enrolling for adult Spanish
classes is now going forward, it
was announced, starting yester
day. Much interest is manifest
ed in these classes that were
popular last year. Instruction is
free.
THE BUDGET PROBLEM
(Continued 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 pay rollers,
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 all our people.
Savings, big and little, will
lose most of their value. Insur
ance companies and banks wall
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 wall put even the essentials of
life—adequate food, clothing and
shelter—beyond the reach of a
majority of the population. Even
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
oay envelopes shrink as infla
tion brings a ruinous rise in
prices. Asa result the worker’s
standard of living will be reduced
to the barest subsistence level.
Salary workers wall be hit even
more quickly, for salaries are
relatively fixed and adjustments
are not made as rapidly. Those
who live on pensions, annuities,
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 temporarilv
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.
