A lot of
an oCt«bnad
the M—rtnt for 'htm, and
thoy swore would make on angel
weep. Whether a man drives while
drunk on alcohol, drugs, or Just
pure darn recklessness, and takes
the life of Innocent people, he
ought to either feci the effect of
the high voltage chair, or toe sent
up so long that the third gen-
eration would forget that he ex-
isted. Oht those spineless Juries-

We would like to ask the ques-
tion, is there any Justice in one
man owning millions and millions
of wealth—regardless of how he
may have become in possession of
it—if by owning that wealth mil-
lions of men, women and children
are left homeless, naked and des-
titute? He can eat only so much,
and wear only so many clothes
and spend only a certain amount
less than his great possessions.
There must be a more equitable
distribution of all wealth or this
nation, like many others, will fall
never to rise again. It is better
for the poor and also better for
the Billionaires, that this wealth
be returned to the men and wo-
men who produced it. "For what-
soever a man soweth. that shall
he also REAP"
(Ed.)
One of the very best ways of
stopping war is for every govern-
ment on earth to pass a law thai
said Governments will immediately
confiscate and take over all Fac-
tories that manufacture guns, can-
nons, tear gas. powder, lead anil
all other munitions of war, or what
is used in war. and use said fac-
tories and their output for the
benefit of ALL WARS, with the
understanding that the owners of
«ald institutions DO NOT GET
ONE DIME OF PROFIT. Then
pass it down the line that every
man and his son interested in war.
for the pelf he might get after
the victory, be placed in front of
the battle. The third proposition
would be to eliminate ALL PRO-
FITS on any and everything SOLD
FOR WAR PURPOSES. Adopt
these THREE CODES, and then
tell us, Brother, how many war?
we will have?
(Ed.i
Garland News says: "How do
human beings get that way? Many
times during the past few months,
we have heard people saying that
the officers should go out and
hunt down the Barrow gang, and
only today after they have been
hunted down, we hear people say-
ing the officers did not even give
them a chance. What right has a
killer to a chance? The officer is
the one taking the chance. Just
think what would have happened
had the officer been mistaken in
his identification! What if it had
been a young couple out joy rid-
ing. instead of killers? What would

STAMFORD. Texas, June 1 —
The most elaborate building pro-
gram undertaken in any year since
the Texas Cowboy Reunion was
organized in 1930 is now in pro-
gress on the Reunion grounds one
mile southwest of the city. Hav-
ing weathered four depression
years with a remarkable yearly in-
crease in attendance, the Reun-
ion is now a well-established In-
stitution. Attendance last year was
estimated at 42,000.

By the president's decision
France and England, not having
paid their debts, are officially de-
clared In default, and will not be
allowed to borrow in this coun-
try even from private sources.
This will not be pleasing to Eng-
land or France or to international
American bankers, but it will suit
the Amarlcan people. Europe may
not hold American dollars at so
low a price, now that she Is no
longer able to borrow them by the
carload, or import our United
States gold by the neat little bar-
relful.
(Ed.)
There Is a great howl going up
about the eight million dollars
that was to be used for the Drouth
Stricken sections of the Pan-
handle. Until right recently this
money was tied up somewhere
and a committee had to go after
Mr. Hopkins and tell him just
how bad the Panhandle was need-
ing this money before they could
make him JAR LOOSE. We should
have lots of good roads built and
tlon? Just four or more officers
dead and the killers on their way
to further crime."

Miss Laura Hamner. Ex-Editor
of The Claude News and for nine
years postmistress at Claude, now
serving her 'Steenth term as Coun-
ty Supt.. of Public Instructions of
Potter County, attended the Mem-
orial Services at the Baptist Church
at Claude last Sunday at 3 p. m
Miss Hamner spoke feelingly of
the past and what it means to us
In her splendid talk we learned
that friends and not money should
be our goal. That man or woman
who does the greatest good to the
greatest number of people is the
greatest among us. and not the
one' who posesses the largest tract
of land, the greatest amount ot
money or the most stocks or bonds
Miss Laura can always make
good speech when she tries. Her
many friends of Claude greeted
her cordially last Sunday after-
noon.
Do not be misled into believing
that supply and demand of a
commodity is the sole controlling
' factor in determining the price of
the commodity. Just as much de-
pends on the supply and demand
of money and credit. If our cot-
ton and wheat farmers produce
only one fourth of a normal crop
this year and money and credit
are made scarce, high and dear,
cotton and wheat will be cheap.
Since the supply and demand of
money which includes credit con-
trols. the price of labor, services,
and commodities, our Government
do several million dollars worth j should be careful about who con-
of other needed improvements in
the Panhandle while the money
got* out to needy families out
of employment at this time. MAKE
THEM JAR LOOSE.
(Ed.)
"Running The Christian Race",
wa* the subject discussed by Pas-
tor Russell, at the Baptist church
In Claude last Sunday night.
Many people of Claude and this
trade territory miss a great deal
by not attending preaching at one
of the Claude churches every Sun
day evening. There are four pastors
of Claude churches, and the ad-
illation la FREE, so why not at-
tend one of these churches. It
do you any harm and is
to do you much good
trols thLs great privilege. Tile peo-
ple are entitled to have someone
In charge of that great lever that
expands or contracts money and
credit at will who has their general
welfare at heart; no one should
have charge of this lever who can
manlpulnte It in a way to make
profit for themselves to the det-
riment of the general welfare.
What chance has a producer or
wage earner of this Nation to earn
a decent livelihood for himself
and family if the value of his
products or labor Is fixed by some-
one who has In mind making a
profit for himself?
(Ed.)
Oen. Johnson says he Is not
going to fool with the small bust-
ant Sun- neaa houses or firms; such- as the
«maH stores, restaurants, Hotels,
Shine parlors, cleaning and press-
ing parlors, Etc. Etc. He says they
can sign the Re-Employment A
greement Code, and go on the
Voluntary Blue Eagle basis. That
means the small business Houses
firms and stores will be left
up on their own honor to as
sist in bringing back prosperity
and that they will be turned lose
to do what they conceive to be
right. The General says these lit-
tle institutions has caused him
too much trouble and that he will
leave it to their honor to work
out their "Own business troubles".
That seems to be quite fair to all.
for if the code was set a little too
high the buying public kicked like
a "bay steer", and some refused
to buy at the code price. Here is
where the public generally came
in. And if the code was set too
low, the proprietors of these in-
stitutions kicked because they said
"We can't make a living at that
low price." You can advertise freely
and persuade the public to buy at
a reasonable price, but when the
price is set too high there is no
way of forcing the public to buy
The only way out, for the little
firm, is to advertise More and
More and make the price Right,
and then your business will move
out in the right direction.
(Ed.)
It is not right for the Govern-
ment to pay Interest upon its own
credit. It is an idiotic and im-
becilic system that we have that
thi:i Government, in order to get
$1,000,000. will issue a million dol-
lars in tax-exempt interest-bear-
ing bonds. These bonds are sold
to a banking institution. The bank
ing institution does not pay money
for the bonds. The banking In
stitutlon gives credit for the bonds
on the books of the bank and then
if It wants money it will bring the
million dollars of bonds back to
the Treasury where they were pur-
chased and get $1,000,000 in new
money that is printed at the Bur-
eau of Engraving and Printing.
They leave on deposit only 5 per-
cent as a redemption fund, which
Is never needed and has never
been used. This money is issued
upon a Government debt. If the
Government can issue, as Thomas
Edison said, a dollar bond that
is tax-exempt and interest-bearing
that is good, that same Govern-
ment can issue a dollar bill that
bears no interest that is Just as
good. If you will take the Fede-
ral Reserve Bulletin for March,
page 86, you will find where the
credit has been extended to our
Government for as little as 1 cent
lor a hundred dollars per year.
That was last August, when the
Government borrowed money for
1 cent for the use of a hundred
dollars 1 year. That was the rate
that was paid. It seems small,
but do not overlook the fact we
were buying our own credit.
(Ed. i
There are 12 Federal Reserve
banks in the Nation; they are not
the same banks or same system
created in 1913. The law has been
completely changed, so-called "per-
fecting" ammendments have de-
viated these banks from the course
intended by Congress in 1913. They
are owned by the member banks
—private corporations—which are
in turn owned by Individuals.
The Government does not own one
penny of stock In these institu-
tions. neither does It at this
time get one penny of profit from
their operations, although they
use the credit of the Nation free,
are exempt from all taxes, except
upon real estate, and are given
the greatest privilege that any
institution on earth has ever had
—a franchise that Is worth billions
of dollars. These banks have the
right to issue paper money that
our Government prints for them
at their request; they do pay a-
bout 27 cents for printing every
thousand dollars worth of bills.
I will read from one side of these
bills: "Federal Reserve note. The
United States of America will pay
to bearer on demand $5." On the
other side is the picture of the
United 8tates Treasury and the
words, "United State of America,
15." You will notice that the Gov-
ernment of the United State* a-

Miami Chief: In the pulitical
announcement column this week
the Chief is authorized to an-
nounce Mrs. L. G. Waggoner of
Miami as a candidate for the of
fice of County Treasurer, sub-,
ject to the action of the Demo- j
cratic primary July 28. 1934.
Mrs. Waggoner is too well known j
in Miami and Roberts County to j
need any recommendation at our
hands. She is a capable and cle- i
serving woman, and has resided
continuously in this city for many !
years up until the last few mon |
ths when she temporarily moved
to Borger, Hutchison County, where
her sons. Mansel and Wilbur, tire
employed with oil companies. She
expects to return to her home here
shortly and make an active cam-
paign for the office which she
.seeks.
Mrs. Waggoner was editor and;
owner of the Miami Chief for
six years alter the death of hei j
husband in Miami, and her abiilt > |
to serve the public in a satlsfac-!
tory manner has been demonstrate!

ed with her husband in the pub-
lication of this newspaper many
years before hi", death. They also

fore moving to Miami. She sold
