Residents of Monroe
Township
‘Sunday, April 8, saw a long string of
on
glittering, luxuriously upholstered
motor cars, driven by well - dressed
people, who were accompanied by others
‘equally well apparelled, moving at a
snail’s pace on the road between Tunk-
hannock and Dallas and frequently
halted for long periods, due to their
[inability to negotiate the highway or
lon account of the way being blocked
[by some car or cars being fast in the
mud, :
| Clothing was soiled, tempers frayed
jand cars damaged in the effort to ex-
|tricate themselves from the slough.
These motorists had contributed to
the building and maintainance of this
road through various forms of taxes
| imposed by the political powa"s of the
state, county and government.
| There were no warning signs at
{either end of the road, stating that the
| road was in a dangerous condition or
[that they must travel at their own
| risk. No thought for their safety or
jconvenience, yet certain’ taxes were
paid before they
commodity purchasd.
Next consider the business man and
[the land holder along this right of way.
{They realize that the revenue appor-
tioned to any section is in proportion
to the taxes derived therefrom; yet,
seeing the heavy traffic over this road
in proportion to other routes, perma-
nently surfaced, m<Jses them wonder
why they are so consistently ignored.
We as voters have been promised in
years past that we would be rewarded
with a good road if we supported ‘cer-
tain political powers. These promises
full of’
nothing.”

“Always strikes, unrest, and class hatred have marked |
‘those periods of recovery which end world depressions.
Many times, such as in 1914, these troubles have developed
into revolutions and wars. They are a definite part of the
historical cycle—the point in that cycle which America is,
passing today.
= Tothe growing talk of fascism, communism, and ho
ism has been added Dr. Wirt’s startling
statement that the ‘brain trusters” are |
prolonging the depression until the coun-|
I try is ready for revolt—and communism. |
There must be some communists in|
the tremendous number of employes who are in govern-
ment jobs—just as there must be some Republicans, some,
Methodists, some dyspeptics, and some poets. There must
be some communists in Dallas. No single group of humans
is cast in the same political mold.

‘WHO WOULD
"WE REVOLT
AGAINST?
It -was revolutionary to oppose the veterans’ bonus, to estab-
lish the Tennessee Development Project, to launch the NRA,
to force industries to operate under codes. This country
“was founded by a revolution. They're alright in their place.’
Republican party, the man who conquered physical infirmi-
ties to become the nation’s first citizen when the majority
of its greatest men were in a fog, the man who directed the
forces of recovery through the most critical year in this
country’s history, has not the strength to defeat any plan
of minor government employes to make him “the Kerensky
oblivion which follows ridicule. _
The only revolt that can handicap America’s recovery
is the revolt of capitalistic industry—a group which, if we
are informed correctly, has more than a casual interest in
Dr. Wirt’s charges.
As a nation, we should not lose sight of one outstand-
ing fact; that we, the people of the United States, are the
government. Few other forms of government ever gave
such complete control to “the people” as does our own con-
: stitution. That constitution still exists. It gives the people
the power to express our views in an emphatic, orderly, and
speedy manner. It aims to give each citizen the greatest
“liberty and equality of opportu: If the government and
“the cons on are ch anged rar 1d no government can re-
