— President Hoover wants it dis-
tinctly understood that “all laws look
alike to him.” This attitude may
compel the Anti-Saloon League tc
dislike him.
President Atterbury, of the
Pennsylvania railroad, still believe
Vare is a potent force in Philadel-
phia though he is careful to express
the opinion in secret.
—Anyway, we got to give Mr. Ras-
kob credit for being consistent. Af-

«Verboten” sign to those who are for

Bible. In it we are promised that

— Having been a Democrat, origin-
ally, President Hoover is trying to do
just what any other Democrat would
have tried to do for the country—the
best as he sees it. His great handi-
cap is political expediency. And if
Mr. Hoover fails as President it will
be because he has been seduced into
the idea that it matters more that
a candidate of the Republican party
be elected in 1932 than if our people
are prosperous and contented.

STATE RIGHTS
AND FEDERAL UNION,
BELLEFONTE.
PA.. MAY 10, 1929.
NO. 19.
All reports coming from Washing-
ton indicate that the debenture pro-
vision of the Senate farm relief bill
will be defeated. It has been an-
athamatized as a “bonus,” and the
party which has lived on bonuses all
its life and advocated bonuses when-
ever it had opportunity, is literally
outraged at the suggestion of a bonus
for farmers. If the proposed bonus
were to go to a ship-building corpora-
tion or a transporation company it
would be different. It would then be
serving a useful purpose, according to
the philosophy of the Republican or-
ganization. But a bonus to help a
group of farmers out of a “slough of
despond” is intolerable. It might en-
tice them into the bad habit of ex-
pecting too much in the future.
It can hardly be said that this new-
ly developed aversion to bonuses on
the part of the Republican leaders in
Congress is to be regretted. The ec-
onomic value of such relief expe-
dients is doubtful, and as President
Hoover intimates, this one might ulti-
mately do the farmers more harm
than good. That is to say, the pro-
posed debenture scheme might lead
to abuses which in the end would
cost the farmers more than it bene-
fitted them. But there is not a great
deal of difference between the deben-
ture plan and the “revolving fund”
scheme. The debenture plan would
take money out of the national treas-
ury but it is fairly certain that the
half-billion revolving fund will not
be picked off the corn belt apple trees.
Under the debenture plan the ex:
porters of farm products would re-
ceive a bonus equal to one-half the
tariff tax that would be levied on im:
ports of the same value. For example,
the tariff tax on wheat is 42 cents a
bushel. For each bushel exported the
farmer would receive a certificate
of the value of 21 cents, which would
be accepted by the government in
payment of tariff duties on imports.
This would be conferring on the
farmers the same benefits of the
tariff system which it bestows on
manufacturers of plate glass or steel!
or other products of foreign industry
The Republican platform and candi-
dates promised this equality to the
farmer and it is difficult to imagine
why it is so abhorrent to the party
now.
— Harry Sinclair's present en-
vironment may not be as luxurious
as he was accustomed to but it’s
more appropriate for men of his type.
Hoover Betrays Pledges.
In his speech delivered before the
members of the Associated Press, in
New York recently, President Hoover
stressed the subject of law enforce-
ment with special reference to pro-
hibition clearly indicated. “The dom-
inant issue before the American peo-
ple,” he declared, “is enforcement of
and obedience to the laws of the
United States, both Federal and
State.” There is no hint of “noble
experiment” in this language. It ex-
presses the purpose of a crusader who
has set out to achieve results by de-
termined efforts in the right direc-
tion. “We are confronted,” he con-
tinued, with a national necessity of
the first degree; that we are not suf-
fering from an ephemeral crime wave
but from a subsidence of our founda-
tions.”
If the President were sincere in
these expressions of purpose the
country might look forward with
hope to a fulfillment of the aim of
the Eighteenth amendment and the
enforcement legislation. “It is the
purpose of the Federal administra-
tion,” he added, “by steady pressure,
steady weeding out of all incapable
and negligent officials, no matter
what their status; by encourage-
ment, promotion and recognition for
those who do their duty, and by the
most rigid scrutiny of the records
and attitude of all persons suggested
for appointment to official posts in
our entire law enforcement machin-
ery.” There is no uncertainty in
these pledges, no ambiguity in this
language.
At the time this promise of fidelity
to. duty was made there was a listed
vacancy in the office of United States
district attorney for the eastern dis-
trict of Pennsylvania. The delinquent
official had resigned rather than face
charges of failure to enforce the laws
and a successor was to be appointed.
The Vare machine put forward for
the. favor Mr. Vare’s personal at-
torney and those sincerely in favor of
enforcement, headed by Colonel
Wynne, the capable and efficient pro-
hibition administrator, offered anoth-
er name. The late nominee was too
raw. and another servile Vare hench-
man was substituted, and the infor-.
mation comes from Washington that
he is to be appointed. That looks
like a betrayal of faith.
Revolving Fund. | Two
Bigots Sharply Rebuked.
By a vote of seventy to fourteen,
‘the Senate in Washington voted down
‘a resolution providing for the inves-
'tigation of an incident which occur
‘red at Brocton, Massachusetts, re
cently, to Senator Heflin, of Alabama.
The Senator was delivering one of his
$250 harangues and somebody threw
a milk bottle or some similar missile
at him. He wanted the Senate toin-
terpret this as an insult to the gov:
ernment of the United States, inspir
ed by the Pope of Rome. Very proper:
fy the Senate refused to oblige him
by the practically unanimous vote
above indicated. Thereupon he flew
into a rage and denounced the Sena-
tors who voted in the negative ar
emissaries of the Catholic hierarchy.
Senator Heflin, always
skite, has lately degenerated into a
common scold or public nuisance. He
sees red every time the Catholic
‘church is mentioned in his presence
and while
rangue, he threatened Senator Ty-
dings, of Maryland, when that gentle:
man interrupted him. The Senator
from Maryland broadly intimated
that the Heflin head is out of joint |
and “the galleries broke into ap-
plause.” This evidence of popular
opinion of his mental equipment sup-
plemented by a sharp rebuke from
the presiding officer, Senator Moses.
of New Hampshire, served to subdue
the Alabaman and he took his seat
figuratively ‘laughed out of court.”
It was a just penalty properly ex
pressed.
The other day Senator Copeland
of New York, felt constrained to pro:
test against the political activities of |
some of the agencies of his own |
church. In a letter addressed to Dr. |
Clarence True Wilson, chairman of |
the board of temperance, prohibition
and public morals of the Methodist
church, he charges that that body has
maintained a lobby in Washington te
influence legislation and that it in
other ways improperly meddles ip
politics. “A decent self-respect” im:
pels him to protest such perversion of
the church and he has performed the
service in a masterful manner. Dr.
Wilson, like Senator Heflin, fails "to
understand that religious liberty is a
basic principle of our governnient
and teaching bigotry a crime.
{ —In any event the fawning
newspapers can’t make it appear that
Mr. Hoover solved the reparations
problem.

Reasons for Opposing General Tariff.
It has been learned through de-
pendable sources in Washington that
President Hoover's objection to a
general upward revision of tariff
schedules is based on consideration of
the preservation of existing export
business. While serving in the office of
Secretary of Commerce Mr. Hoover
ascertained that American exports to
Europe have been paid for mainly
from the proceeds of American loans,
and investments in Europe have been
gradually but greatly diminishing.
He reasons, therefore, that in order to
preserve our export trade it will be
necessary in the future to create a
system of exchanging products, and
prohibitive tariff will not be helpful.
The late President McKinley, in his
last speech, delivered at Buffalo, ad-
monished the tariff-mongers of the
‘country that they could not forever
‘expect to sell products abroad unless
they. bought products abroad. Mr.
McKinley had been, during all hig
long service in public, the chief
apostle of high tariff taxation. But
the experience of one term as Pres-
ident had broadened his mind on the
subject and upon entering upon his
second term he indicated in the Buf-
falo speech the purpose of recom-
mending a policy of reciprocity as es-
rapidly multiplying products of Am-
erican enterprises. His untimely
death prevented the fulfillment of his
‘plans to modify the tariff rates.
Basil Manly, a widely known Wash-
ington correspondent, writes that
“during the first three months of 1929
foreign financing in American mar-
kets was $353,890,000. This compares
with: $602,511,000 for the correspond-
ing period of 1928. At this rate of
decrease the vanishing point is nota
great way off and when it is reached
or nearly reached the foreign markets
will be practically closed to our pro:
ducts. - International trading is nota
cash in hand transaction. The bal-
ances are settled either by an ex-
change of commodities or by ex-
changes of credits by the banks. Wil-
liam McKinley saw the approach of a
crisis in his time and Herbert Hoover
sees it now. If the tariff-mongers
fail to see it they are stupid.
President Hoover now realizes
that “uneasy lies the head that wears
a crown,” ‘or words to that effect.

Aviation was Discussed at Kiwanis
Luncheon.
|
‘hotel Penn-Belle, on Tuesday, was
‘largely attended. i’resident Harri-
'son Walker made some interesting
announcements. Secretary Bingaman
read the minutes of the directors’
meeting held last Friday at the Nit-
jtany Country club, reporting that the
house committee was instructed to
purchase a flag apd shield for the
renn-Belle hotel, and that a motion
{was carried to make a subscription
jof $100.00 to the Centre County hos-
ipital, from the general fund. The
minutes were approved.
Guests present were Captain
{Stephen McMasters, superintending
lagent for the Middle division of the
Pennsylvania railroad, with head-
|quarters at Altoona; C. L. Grove, Ty-
irone, superintending agent of the
jcompany; William T. Kelly, Belle-
ifonte, local freight agent; Jacob
Sharer and son, Ray Sharer, of
| Centre Hall; George W. Eaton, Blan-
{chard; Forest Tanner, Bellefonte; W.
|H. Vansant, Williamsport, represent-
ing Eastern States Farmers’ Ex-
change, Springfield, Mass.; and Ki-
|wanian William C. Stemfly, Philips-
burg, successor to Frank West in the
‘furniture business.
| President Walker introduced Cap-
tain McMasters as the speaker of
ithe hour. He proceeded to give a
Ithrillingly interesting and education-
ial talk on aviation as it affects the
| Pennsylvania railroad, in which he
{said, aviation has been handicapped
1d its publicity. He stressed the val-
ue of the airplane as a transport
agency. Air lines must show certain
definite advantage as to speed, safe-
ty, rules on time, regardless of
weather conditions. He described in
a masterful manner the technical
points in aviation. He mentioned
three leading fields—Hadley, Cleve-
land and Bellefonte, where radio
beacons function with absolute ac-
curacy day and night in all kinds of
weather. There are 260 fields along
the P. R. R. lines and there is an in-
‘the démand, the P. R. R. company
;has been compelled to carry passen-
gers along with the air mails. The
company has gone into the aviation
enterprise because it feels the time
is ripe for the transportation of pas-
;sengers in air planes. This conclu-
sion is the result of many years of
‘searching study. -
Aviation is a proved thing. The
president of the company, the speak-
jer quoted as saying, “We have dedi-
cated ourselves to the business of
passenger carrying by air and whai-
ever we do will be done right.” The
jaddress of Captain McMasters was
well received.

Hospital Drive will be Started on
Mother’s Day.
The annual membership drive for
.the Centre County hospital will open
‘on Sunday, Mother’s day. The coun-
ty has been well organized and a
{corps of solicitors will endeavor to
make a personal call upon everybody
to receive their membership fee, which
is one dollar a year. But it is only
jnatural that some people will be miss-
ied. To all such apologies are offered
in advance, and they are kindly ask-
led to mail their fee to the hospital
‘and their name will appear on the
iroll of honor in next year’s report.
Larger sums than the annual fee of
{one dollar will be gratefully accepted.
| Last year quite a number of Cen-
'tre countians now living in other
places voluntarily contributed to the
{membership roll, and to all those it
‘can be said, a renewal of their mem-
‘bership will mean a continued pledge
‘of faith in the home institution. One
{dollar is a small amount to the av-
{erage citizen but many of them help
sential to providing a market for the |to ease the bed of pain of those in
| i-health.
| To those who have never contribut-
'ed to the membership roll this per-
'sonal appeal is made. Won't you do
‘your bit for suffering humanity? The
hospital stands ready to serve you
and no one knows how soon that need
‘may come.

to the form farm relief will take in

of people will be disappointed.

will win the debenture fight in Con-
{ gress but he will lose the confidence

———The reform movement in Phil-
'adelphia seems to have collapsed
"The trouble with it is that like beauty
‘it was “only skin deep.”
——If Vare selects the district at-

for law enforcement will not mean
'much in’ that eity.

County Commissioners Visit Highway
Officials.
County Commissioners Howard M.
Miles, Newton E. Wilson and John S. |
Spearly attended a conference of
county commissioners from other sec-
tions of the State with State highway
officials in Harrisburg, on Tuesday.
The object was to arrive at a definite
understanding regarding the new
highway laws passed by the last
Legislature.
One of these laws provides for the J
State taking over and maintaining all
bridges on highway routes. This, in
itself, will mean a big saving to
Centre county taxpayers. During the
‘past three years Centre county has
paid for repairs on bridges almost
$19,000, or over $6,000 a year. Of
lcourse all of this amount was not
on bridges on State highway routes, |
but a large per cent. of it was. At the
present time the bridge at Port Ma-
tilda is considerably run down and will
soon need some costly repairs. While
the State Highway has until July 1st,
1930, to take over all the bridges in
the State the burden of their upkeep
is upon the department as soon as
the bill becomes effective.
One of the new highway bills pro-
vides for the expenditure of $23,000,-
000 in the construction of secondary
highways, the fund to be divided
among the various counties of the
State according to the total miles of
such roadways. Just what portion
of this sum will be allottelto Centre
will be between $200,000 and $300,000.
This will be sufficient to do consider-
able work on what has been classed
as secondary highways in this coun-
ty.

ment of Forests and Waters. for research
work and by State College for such prac-
tical work as it may desire to give its
students during the school year. But
there will be no, more regular classes there
after graduation in June.
