tried to walk all over The Claude
News editor Just because we made
arguments .-.long the line advocat-
ed by POUR SUPREME COURT

of Congress and THREE FOURTHS

ITED STATES. Can't blame Editor
Hill for getting mad, when he has
only FIVE SUPREME COURT
JUDGES—lacking only one tlelng us
—a few politicians, and a majority
of the LAWYERS, and darn few
laymen to back him up In hi', "try-
ing to show where the President is
wrong." He is to hopelessly In the
manoiity th.it it is like "taking
candy from a baby." to try and
show him the error of Ills way. Hill
says we "hate the Supreme Court
and have no use for the Con:liga-
tion." We could retaliate by say-
ing Editor Hill hates four member.:
1,1 the Supreme Court, the Presi-
dent, Congress and all but two
states In t'ue union. Hill dof-ii't do
that, neither does he mean what
he says when he said "Editor Wag-
giner hates the Supreme Couit and
has no use for the Constitution."
We believe In the Constitution and
THE VOICE OP THE PEOPLE
wlio made that Constitution, but
object to a wrong Interpretation
of seld Constitution. We believe in

do away with this august body at
any time. The It ter declsslon of the
Supreme Court, however, wherein
ti.ey reversed former declsslon.
pioves that they are human and
rlthough wrong, can get right,
when a great majojlty of the Am- tl-eir
eiican people cry out for the right -
interpretation of the Constitution.
Now that the Supreme Court has
reversed itself, thus giving us FIVE
SUPREME JUDGES —a majority
which made a declsslon in OUR

VLWAY3 BEING RIGHT and
:a:i't go wrong. Mr. Hill, yau sljould
iiut get as mad as a wet hen and
lump on The Claude News editoi
lint because a majority of this
August Body have passed down de-
cisions In favor of THE PEOPLE
following the very ideas presented
to the public by the Claude New.-;
for many months. The Supreme
Court can change but you can't,
because you are down In a rut and
don't want to get out. Get your
eyes open—like the Supreme Court
has-and then you can see the
matter Just like this editor. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Congress and the
Common People of America.
It seems that the people are go-
ing to get a chance to VOTE
AGAINST a two-per-cent SALES
TAX, which will be offered as a
Constitutional Amendment. The
State Legislature absolutely refuse':
to raise the tax on Natural Re-
sources, and the Ad Valorem Tax
Is about as high as it will stand
Don't forget that the politicians
will tell you to vote for the Sales
Tax so we will have money to pay
the Old Age Pensions. Don't gel
caught la that trap. They told you
that the old age pensioners would
get theirs but did they? They set
up a contraption that takes most
f the old age pen ion money
which defeats the very object oi
the OKI Age Assistance—that is to
get money to the aged, lids money
could have all been saved to the
Old Age Pension Fund by allowing
the County Judges and Count)
Cierks handle the matter and cos!
practically nothing to get the
money to the aged. They are trying
to FORCE TI1E VOTERS TO
VOTE FOR A SALES TAX, by not
trying to gel a lax in any other
way. They will tell you that you
must pass the SALES TAX to get
money for the Pensioners, and 11
they get the sale-, tax passed
which they will NOT DO—you will
get no more pension money than
you are getting now, for the reason
they will f'rm other contraptions
to EAT UP the pension money, just
its they set up a Bu.eau to EAT
UP MOST of the pension money
now beiug collected for pensioners

Senator George Monto,
and Senator Smart Luodeen. of
Minn, and Jeanette ltankin. of
Montana, leading woman Repre-
sentative. The lady Representative
said, "I love my Country, but can-
not vote for war." Ill en there was
William J. Bryan, who was too
honest to GO CROOKED, and
gave up the next to highest office
in the U. 8. to VOTE AGAINST
WAR. These TRUE and TRIED
REPRESENTATIVES of the PEO-
PLE said "No War for us," while
a majority of Congress voted WITH
THE ENEMIES OF THIS NA-
TION—for war—which meant the
COLD BIGODED MURDERING of
thousands of our Innocent boys and
men. Twenty years past history
proves this statement to be true.
It also proves that the morale of
our nation has been diflled and
blasted over 80 per cent, which we
will not out-grow for 50 years or
more. "To make the World safe
for Democracy" was the battle cry
of twenty years ago, now we have
Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and many
other such curs of the dog manger
to show how silly this battle cry
was. And they will have another
battle cry in a few years that will
make American's blood boll and
enter war again.
THE SALES TAX means you
farmers who have been paying
from $100 or less up to $1S0 will-1-
If you have a family of children-
pay from $200 to $375 a year. It
will be paid by you—this 375 a
year, a little at a time, as you buy
gcods of any kind. Naturally your
advlorem tax, or tax on lands
will be reduced, but you will pay
two or three times as much taxes
every year, and pay it in advance,
by way of a two per cent sales
tax. Tills is the Tax that President
Roosevelt and Governor Allred said
is a "tax on poverty." This is a
lax that the poorest will pay, and
THEY WILL PAY IT IN AD-
VANCE, TOO. It will shift millions
of TAXES from the backs of the
immensely rich, onto the backs of
the poor, those who are unable to
stand such a tax.
"THE POWER to tax, is the
power to dlstroy," is as true today
as it ever was. Over In England
leaders are proposing a tax which
,/uuld take ONE-THIRD of the in-
comes of all business institutions.

DOLLARS of that to the WAR
CORDS. There should be some way

would not be taxed OUT OF EX-
ISTANCE for the purpose of pre-
paring to MURDER OTHER NA-
TIONS, for war is WHOLESALE
MURDER and nothing else.

Item In reducing auto accidents. It
is one of the most annoying items
in that problem." If this item had
appeared ill the Star-Telegram 15
or 20 years ago, it would have cov-
ered the grounds well. Then auto
horns could be lieaid in most every
direction, trying to tell somebody
to get out of the way. Now you

WELL, you got away with it. So far, anyway. Of course
you're still a bit nervous. You are startled by doorbells;
your palm sweats when you pick up the morning paper;
your mouth gets dry when a stranger seems to stare at you.
For there is just a possibility that some chance passer-by
saw you. But your pulse is beginning to behave again.
Each passing day brings added safety.
If it will make you feel any better, you may never be
caught. But, my craven fellow, you'll never escape yourself!
You'll never escape the shame of having killed a child and
run away. You'll never escape the aching, burning memory
that, faced with the test, you preferred cowardice to courage.
You will live the rest of your days bluffing yourself into
believing that you didn't have time to think (although life's
crises are not scheduled for men's convenience) ; that any-
body else would have done the same thing (although you
don't dare tell anybody else); and that it wasn't murder, but
just an accident (as though people hid themselves after acci-
dents). Th« days will be trying, but not so bad compared
with the nights, when you lie awake with your conscience
and when, having fallen asleep at last, dreams steal into your
tired brain to reenact that scene of secret shame. Yes, the
nights will be hard. •
A thousand times you will wish to release that pent-up
shame, to scream; "I killed a child and ran away!" It would
make you feel better, but you won't do it,
Listen; You didn't get away with a thing! And you
