Heidbrcder, Republican candidate for county judge from the second district is a candidate for the office not for what he can get out of it but to do his bit toward relieving the burden of the tax payer. Heicibreder declares emphatically at every meeting lie attends that he is opposed to daily sessions of the court. He would have the court meet only as often as is necessary to conduct the county's business, which should not be more than ten days a month. Heidbredcr is 51 years old and is a native of Cole County.

HD was born on a farm near here and has resided there all his life. He has been a successful farmer and while he devoted himscli to the development of his farm he found time to take an active part in promoting the welfare of the community he calls home. He has served on the school board, farm organizations, director ol a bank, and road commissioner. Recently he was appointed by Governor Park on the farm adjustment committee. He has had much experience and is qualified to be judge.

He feels that the cost of county government can be reduced without injuring any worthwhile activity and will devote himself to that task. He hits the confidence of his neighbors and his election is freely predicted. A TIP ON REVOLUTIONS A number of well-meaning Americans have grown fond of talking about revolution. People who haven't the slightest desire to mount any barricades or face any firing squads will say, glibly, "We need a revolution in this if a revolution were a pleasant little step in evolution which could be shut off painlessly before it really hurt anybody. Such people might profitably listen to Emma Goldman.

This revolutionary lady describes, in a recent issue of "The Nation," the sad plight of the old- time Russian revolutionaries. She tells how they suffered and fought and endured dire punishment to bring about the overthrow of the czar's government, and how they hailed the 1917 overturn as a new dawn. Now they dare not enter Russia. The revolution ran right out from under them. They have found that Russia simply swapped one tyranny for another.

Once a revolution starts, it is very apt to get out of all control and to head in- a direction which those who worked for it never remotely desired. The wishful talkers in this country might meditate briefly on that fact. MURDER 'SAFE' IN U. S. Census Bureau figures show that 12,123 murders were committed in the United States in 1933.

Fewer than 4000 people were sentenced as homicides, and only 153 were executed. You need study those figures only for moment to see what a comparatively small risk a killer actually runs. His chance of paying any kind of penalty at all for his crime is only about one in three; and there is just one chance in 80 that he will be executed! More startling than this, however--though doubtless in some way related to it--is the fact that the 1933 record is a new high for the United States; furthermore, the total has risen by more than 4000 in the last ten years, fewer ban 8000 homicides having been recorded in 1023. As a disclosure of the growth of utter lawlessness in this land, these figures point their own moral. 'RED' IDEA, BUT GOOD! It seems to be heresy of the blackest--or reddest--sort to suggest that the Russians ever have a notion worth copying in this country.

Still, the land of the Soviets docs seem to sprout a bright idea once in a while. Probably you read about the solemn trial in which a pair of galoshes was convicted and found guilty of being inferior workmanship. The galoshes were formally arraigned before a Moscow court. Witnesses testified that they just weren't good for anything--they leaked, they fell apart, they didn't fit, they looked like the dickens. The result was a sentence ordering the quality of the galoshes to be improved at once.

Now this notion that it is a crime to inflict shoddy goods on the public--well, those of us who have occasionally paid good money for articles that proved practically worthless might easily feel that that is a pretty sensible sort of idea.

Nobody wants to get stung. Transient camps and shelters may be necessary but why pick on Cole County? Put a few elsewhere. President Roosevelt, says an opposition paper, expects every Democrat and Independent in Cole County to vote the Democratic ticket from top to bottom. In no other way can you give him a vote of confidence, the paper declares. Doesn't that strike you, dear reader, as unadulterated piffle? If, according to this newspaper you want to sup.

He says the suggestion was made to "raise a rumpus." All of which brings an inquiry as to who caused the original rumpus that sent Gwinn Henry out into the cold hunting a job and deprived M.

The whols history of industry indicates such a line of progress. But to legislate an inflexible thirty-hour week into Federal law is the wrong way to go about it. In effect it would impose upon industry an immediate 25 per cent wage increase, if ihe Federation's demand that weekly rates shall not be reduced is complied with. Industry cannot suddenly absorb such a burden. Manifestly wages can't be paid if there is nothing to pay them with.

Too drastic reduction of hours and lifting of wages would eliminate profits to such a degree that the result would be an increase rather than a reduction of Plain Dealer.

ASSERTS GOVERNMENT MUST LEAD FINANCIERS Urges Bankers to Assume Responsibility, Expand Flow of Credit WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-- (AP)-Out of President Roosevelt's address to the Bankers Association there arose today clear indications that the administration hopes for international harmony on a policy of arriving at price stabilization "as quickly as possible." In a speech in which he challenged the banking fraternity last night to keep the flow of credit, the President included this paragraph: "With respect to international relationships, I have been glad to note the growing appreciation in other nations of the desirability of arriving, as quickly as possible, at a point of steadiness of prices and values.

This objective of a greater steadiness we have constantly kept before us as our national policy." Wants Managed Dollar Special significance was attached to this because sources close to the administration expressed the belief it was one of three salient points in the speech. They did not elaborate on it. however. The remarks on price stabilization are not a pledge for currency stabilization which many bankers desire. Many of the 4000 delegates who crowded Constitution hall to listen regarded the speech as leaving the door open to whatever monetary strategy may be deemed advisable to attain the desired price level and then keep it stable.

It was recalled that the President has expressed a wish for a dollar that would remain steady in purchasing power over a long period-in other words, a managed dollar. Another point stressed in administration quarters today was the President's remark that bankers are not equal to nor independent of the government. He said "the old fallacious notion of the bankers on the one side and the government on the other as more or less equal and independent units has passed away. Government Must Lead "Government," he said, "by the necessity of things must "be the leader, must be the judge of the conflicting interests of all groups in the vincluding bankers. The governrneiit-us the outward expression 6iV the "common life of all citizens." The other point stressed as salient his challenge to the banks to DM EDISON IE, FRANK SHUCK DIES' NEW YORK, Oct.

"Just as it is to be expected." he said, "that th ebanks will resume their responsibility and take up the burden that the government has assumed through its credit agencies, so I assume and expect that private business generally will be financed by the great credit resources which the present liquidity of banks makes possible.

"Tonight I ask the bankers of the country to renew their confidence President, the kind of program that would be a real contribution to the cause of recovery." Other bankers received the speech with comment that ranged from "excellent" to "disappointing." One high authority said privately before the speech that bankers hoped for assurance as to budget balancing and private profits. The President said nothing about the budget, but he did enunciate a belief in private profit with the words that "wealth should come as the reward of hard labor of mind and hand. That is what we call the profit system." The speech was not critical in ein Some delegates had previously spoken a hope that the President would "pat us on the head."

in the people of this county," he said. "I hope you will take me at my word." The bankers' contention is that they have been eager to lend but the borrowers have been reluctant. The President promised that government lending and spending would taper off just as soon as banks and' business took over the job. He looked forward to reviving business activity and a future lightening of the relief load. It is time, he declared, "for an alliance of all forces intent upon the business of recovery" including "business and banking, agriculture and industry and labor and capital." "What an American team that is!" he exclaimed.

Ready To Cooperate Francis Marion Law, retiring president of the Bankers Association, which concludes its sixtieth convention today, said of the President's speech: "Out of the suggestions made by the President and Jackson Reynolds (who also spoke) there can and should be worked out a sound program of far-reaching cooperation between the government, the banks and the other groups named by the the President did not do, but neither did he attack, and members of the association were quick to recall praise and pledges of other government officials as indicating the administration's attitude. Enough Mass Punishment Reynolds, president of the First National Bank of New York, preceded the Chief Executive with a speech in which he suggested that the banking fraternity "has endured enough mass punishment" to be in a "chastened and understanding mood." He raised the question whether a definite and irrevocable pledge to stabilize the dollar for all time would not lend strength to the in- flationists. He suggested that the bankers let their "secret selves" answer whether they would have the President "at one stroke both tie our hands, vis-a-vis the currencies Europe and the Orient, and risk consolidating into one irresistabli program the inflationary demand here, by making a statement toda that the very definite stabilizatioi of the dollar effected last Januar; and since maintained should stam for all time under all circumstances.

23-- Down at the NRA, industrialists are now meeting economists face to face. The news censorship imposed by Chairman Clay Williams of the National Industrial Recovery Board doesn't quite suppress the fact that the NIBB is out to break down artificial price and production controls a lot faster anyone 3s officially willing to admit. Industries which came here in the heyday of code-making and wrote their own tickets are now being told, on the basis of experience with the codes, what will work and what won't. Licenses to soak the consumer are being canceled as fast as the board can get lo them. Care is being taken not 1.9 demoralize in- dustries by removal of price controls--especially in those exploiting natural resources--but the mere fact that freer competition means destruction, for minorities of high cost plants isn't bothering NIRB.

The economists on NIRB--Ham- ilton, Marshall, and Henderson- are loaded with figures, facts, and charts supplied by the Research and Planning Division, RS well as opinions from the economists on the Advisory Council, to shoot at the code authorities. "Silly" Codes to Pass Businessmen with codes not yet approved or with codes about to be amended find a virtually united front of the seven NIRB members when they protest. They are told that neither public opinion nor the courts will stand for some of the things they wrote into the codes. Nor Congress, for that matter. So why be silly, In the face of NRA's new factual approach, there are fewer explo- on Page 8).
