GREINER Mr. Greiner is an experienced bus iness man, manufacturing, banking and is a land owner. In Clark county where he is best known he has the endorsement of most all civic organi zations, His views on business affairs have met the approval of the Clark County Taxpayers League, composed m tly of farmers and land owners. We take the following from a pub* fished statement over Mr. Greiner’s name: “ The United States, through its Federal, State and Local Government al bodies, is spending annually some fourteen billion dollars for govern ment operation, Approximately „six billions of dollars goes into the hands of public servants. If a 15 per cent reductidn was made in these salaries there would be a saving of some nine hundred million dollars, or in other words, in two years time the deficit which we are* facing would be practi cally wiped out. Agriculture, industry and transpor tation have been forced to accept drastic Cuts in their profits and in comes, and have had t to rearrange their budgets to meet this reduced In* t_ _ come.

Another unusual item was where Robert Kendall had been cited to ap pear before session on* a charge o f in toxication. Sally Brown, Jane McMillan ' and Adam Shigley were cited for singing ' human (hymns) compositions in the worship o f God at Mr. Poage’s houss. And-the following quotation from the minutes: “ It was contrary to the, wolfd o f God and ike subordinate standards .of this church fo r her mem bers to hear erroneous teachers and whereas the members have been pub- ’ lically warned against .the practice, the following were cited fo r attending a meeting at the Poage house, P.
