Little comfort was taken’from what the President j that provided for certain had to Say th a t would give support for greater reductions in the coat of governinent. He propably did not care to inflame the office holding class. Being a strong believer in government by bureaus and commissions he had nothing to say along tha t line. In brief his speech concerned world affairs to a greater extent than problems, as serious as they are, th a t affect this nation. With only a comparatively few days remaining of the ad­ ministration Mr. Hoover's four years service is being freely commented upon. He has had no outstanding cabinet, in fact if we review his recent campaign and results his cabinet has treduced 89 b ilk in the House, most of which belong in the “nut crap." It is ssfa to predict that not a ono will become a law, Hooch was a member of the House In 1923 and introduced 49 bills and not a one became a law. His prize bill this time relates to em­ ployment of women in offices, factor­ ies, etc. The bill provides tha t they shall have one week’s vacation each month with full pay. The other pro- ting the minimum school salary at L 340 a month which is out of proper-j[; tion with $10,000 salaries for con­ gressmen and '$8,000 appropriations for mineral water for congressmen be­ cause the nation is supposed to be on the water wagon. The agricultural department in Washington spent a- bout $05,000 last year in junket trips to Mexico and South America to find the original potato, and the trip was video that every woman who is about a failure other than for pleasure re- to become am o the r and is employed ceived by the so-called farmer politi- shall have eight weeks vacation before cians.

That makes first ployerer would he compelled to pay all of which goes for salaries for more hospital and medical bills. With the enactment of such legislation every woman would be displaced by men. It may yet be possible for Kasch to in­ troduce a bill to compel the employ­ ment of women only and not men. We only mention the above so that the public can get a picture of the kind of men sent from some districts to enact legislation. farm politicians while dirt farmers cannot make enough to pay their taxeB.

There is just as much has depended much on how much so­ ciety a president plans for the White douse. Washington dotes on society and the wider the Roosevelts enter­ tain the more likely. Washington will jet to peep inside of foreign legations .vhen foreign representatives put the big pot in the little one. Attending a diplomatic affair attracts all those of society realm that can remember the'days before Mr. Volstead ^became known nationally.

Walter Brown's post office depart­ ment has been another sore spot on the Hoover administration and the largest deficit follows in the history of the nation on top of higher postage. P a t contracts to railroads, steamship and airplane companies with million dollar post office buildings has left a bad taste with the nation. Much more could bs said about the Army and Navy departments as well as agriculture but the trail of mismanagement and gross waste of public funds only, stands as a black mark against the retiring administration. The real moratorium takes place March fourth when Mr. Hoover,! program for the ball calls for more and his cabinet get their holiday: Mr. Hoover will return to I than Jeffersonian simplicity for each 1 male guest must be togged out in for­ mal attire. Here is the official re­ quirements: high silk hat, long tailed coat, stiff bosom shirt, pearl buttons, Piccadilly collar, white tie and waist­ coat, stripes down trouser legs, black silk socks arid pumps.

The Michigan banking situation hit the nation Tuesday like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. I t Was the most unusual of anything that has happen­ ed thus fa r in this country during the lepression. Failure of a big tru st company in Detroit to open that had connection with some five . hundred smaller banks in the state caused the Governor to close every hank, trust company, building and loan and finan­ ce company in the state for eight days or February 23. The bank department in that state asked the federal author­ ities to close all. national banks as well as a matter of precaution against “runs". The action of the governor was a bold stroke but taken after an all night conference with leading bus­ iness and banking leaders. During the week Michigan will have no banking facilities unless the order is later re voked. I t will give banking authori- Ities ari opportunity to check Up on all institutions connected with the Detroit trust company NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate of Sarah E. Mitchell, Deceased J. E.

By being dependable we mean do you keep your promises, are you prompt in meeting your obli­ gations, do you keep engagements, do you stay on your job, do you do things when you said you would. f No one ever accomplished very much or made a success of his*business or profession unless he was dependable. It is a big asset to be dependable and it is , a big handicap if it becomes I known th a t no dependence can bet placed in a person. , All of us have inquiries,made about us as to what kind of _ persons we are. The answers tell us the reputations we have. You have heard the inquiry made, “what kind of a fellow is h e?” Of one the answer by practically everyone will be, “you can depend on him.” Of another the answer will almost as cer­ tainly be, “you can’t depend on him.” One hats received a very high recommendation and the other has been severely condemned; one by few words has been helped and th e other has been injured. One likes to do business with o r associate with, a person on whom he can depend and hates to do business with or associate with a person on whom he cannot depend. , If a person is dependable he has the respect, confidence and esteem of those who know him. They trust him. They are pleased to have business relations with him. If a p son is not dependable and wants to have just as iilttle as possible to do with him either in business or socially. “You can depend on him.” “You can’t depend on him.” . Have you thought what a complete description of a man is given by either of these answers?' They tell almost everything. I t takes time and effort to establish a reputation for .being de­ pendable and it i s easy to get a reputation for not being de­ pendable. Which reputation have you ? I t will determine your standing in your community, show what those who know you you think of you. —Hillsboro News-Herald. MORE OFFICIAL POWER OR LESS POWER—WHICH? Indiana by its legislature has taken the most unusual step through its legislature *of delegating unlimited power to the governor fo r a complete reorganization of boards, commissions and bureaus towards greater economy and more efficiency in the conduct of the state’s business. I t is reported the legislature in th a t state could not agree on important reductions, due to a large extent to pressure from the boss politicians of both major I adopted the primary nomination political parties. Then again members of the legislature would | direct vote. Former Governor A. not gain the emnity of discharged public appointeesiby letting the governor do the job. The plan is an experiment, no other state ever having taken such a step and the outcome will be watched with interest. To abolish nearly a hundred boards, commissions and bureaus and reduce the number to an even dozen should reduce state operating expense to a new low record. Ordinarily we are not an advocate of centralized power for state or national affairs owing to our system of political party control. Such a plan on theory looks good but if adopted the success must be entirely on the shoulders of the governor or president in case congress should take such a step. It is safe In the Ohio legislature an effort is to be made to do away with the pri­ mary system for nominations. The city bosses want to return to the con­ vention idea, The old convention sys­ tem with hand picked delegates gave the bosses their power and they made such use of it the public rebelled and by V. Donahey has come out strongly a- gainst the convention idea. The plan to drop the primary is not new for the politicians each legislative session try to get its repeal. Tobacco dealers received a severe It has been proposed that the law be changed and make members of the Utility Commission elective by popu­ lar vote and not appointed by the gov­ ernor. I t might be argued that better men can be appointed than elected but after a trial of twenty years, the plan of appointment has not proven a suc­ cess and it might not be a bad idea to try electing them or abolishing the department. In recent years utility appointments have been a source of trouble for governors. Cooper had trouble and now Governor White has his problems. Politicians, regardless of politics, use the utility issue to get donations to keep their machines-well oiled.1 Lobbyists milk them for many thousands of dollars that consumers must pay in rates. The elected mem­ ber certainly could do as well as the record made by appointed iriembe.rs. -The State Highway Department is figuring in trouble over a type of material used to pave a street in Washington C. H. We ore not inter­ ested in that featrue of the contro- veipy. It. has leaked out. that Ohio built a street in Washington C. H. paying 60 per cent of the entire cost. With bank troubles Washington is in a “picklement” and could not make the desired improvement on the street that connects the C. C. C. highway through that city. If such.can be put over fo r the*capital of Fayette county we know of streets in other towns the state will get to improve.
