THE TAX-PAYER'S
LEAGUE
From the Hutchinson County Herald i
A slate or list ol' candi-!
dates selected and endorsed
by a purported tax-payers j
league has been brought to
The Herald's attention. On :
fhis list appears the name ol j
-good men and women for the:
various offices for which the j
league has selected them.!
These people, as far as we j
know, are friends of the peo-
ple, and it is not our purpose i
to make a personal fight on
either the candidates or the i
organization backing their J
candidacy.

. It is our belief, however,
that if the identity of the
members "of this organization
could be known- it would af-
ford the tax-payers who do
not happen to be members of
thks group an opportunity to
judge the sincerity and pur-
pose of the group backing
this list. It is well for citizens
to become interested in who
is to be their public servants,
but it is also well for that
group to let themselves be
known that the public gener-
ally may judge as to the good
judgement of the group.
Just what purpose does
this "league" hope or wish
to accomplish? Is there any
reason why the public should
not be taken into strict confi-l
deuce and the membership of!
that organization not be made j
known? The Herald believes)
the citizens at large would by
served well if they only knew!
who this group is composed]
of. As a rule under-cover or
glim-shoe methods do 110I
work to public wiel and gen-
eral welfare and good. Un-
til the names of people com-!
posing this group that poses j
as the tax-payer's league is1
known, their purposes and !
;>ims will be mis-construed ;
and wrong judgment placed!
upon their acts of endorsing j
certain candidates for office 1
We believe it only fair, j
even to the candidates endors-i
ed, that the group lending
<uch endorsement be made I
known. How does th^ public j
know that they are really tax-
payers, if the names of those
composing this organization
are kept secret and no chance i
given to make a check of the
tax rolls to see if they real-
ly be tax payers?
At first glance does it noi
seem possible that this orga- j
nization might be serving it i ■
own needs and not the needs
of the people?

main factors which forced the nom-
ination of Herbert Hoover were:
these:
I -He was the only man of pres-
idential stature in the Republican |
party who went after it. He was a
giant among pygmies.
2—His popularity with the voters'
was sufficient to encourage large
numbers of hard-boiled often self-
seeking politicians to bo aboard with
him when they looked about and
saw no other seaworthy raft.
:! ft was also sufficient to cause
large numbers of politicians out ot
power to grab onto his coat-tails lor
a free ride back into control. The
party in power has in every state
two factions: the "Ins" who are
getting the gravy of federal patron-
age and the "outs" who want to
lake it away from ihem. In nearly
all states. Hoover was bound to get
the support of one faction or I he
other.
4 The party got to Kansas <Vy
arid saw what a flimsy, disorganized
and leaderless group the opposition
to Hoover really was.
The Kansas City convention was
dull and uninspired . As far as your
correspondent could observe no ma-
jority of delegates was hot for Hoov-
er. Some of those who swung lo him
still believe a stronger candidate
might have been nominated while
others feel deeply that be is far
from the answer to a politician's
prayer. The Hoover leaders were
alway- worried about the unstable
character of their delegates and
knew that if the nomination diou't
come in a ballot or two it would
all tip.
But what a walkaway! Theiv
had to lie un administration candi-
date and he was bound to have tli

served to hold a few delegates away
! and began the contests between the
["ins" and "outs" which raged ey-
| crywhere except in instances when
[each side broke its neck to get itii-
t der the Hoover banner first.
Horah told this writer some time
) before the conventions that the farm
I state opposition wouldn't get any-
i where because its leaders were "so
j cheap." That's about the way it
: turned out. They couldn't prove to
'the party that they represented any
: large body ol* voters likely to bolt
the party and some of them, at least
! certainly were cheap.
The opposition finally coalesced
into what were called "Ilie allies

for sake of his friendship for l.ow-
den and so gave up his last earthly
chance for the presidency.
All Louden did in the campaign
was to sii still and let it be known
that he was for tile farmers, a far
less inspiring figure than the phleg-
matic Hoover. All the time lie
blocked the path for Dawes, who
