Charles Brand, Urbana, once known as the "gravel road congressman and friend o f the farmer" has not been dis­ turbed by the depression, according to advices from Washing­ ton. For years the government pay roll has been secret but the desire for relatives on public pay has become very popular in the capital city. Placing members of the family on the pay roll at big salaries while congressmen draw $10,000 yearly with liberal expenses, has startled the nation. When the lid was lif­ ted it was found that two members of the Brand family are on the pay roll at big salaries. What their duties are the public is not informed by dispatches.- Senator S. E. Fesa is credited with having a daughter-in- law on the pay roll and she has been a resident o f Toledo for a number of years, where she is married and lives with her hus­ band. Her check goes to a Washington hotel each month and it happens this is the head quarters of the Senator. Meantime congress is planning scores of new taxes on all classes o f people to balance the budget. The tariff, prohibition, and a number of other topics affords ample opportunity for the politicians to keep the public mind absorbed while the hand goes deeper into the public purse. m i ■
