Get ready to purchase what the Roosevelt administration calls “baby” bonds. If you have feared inflation over silver you might as well overlook that for government printing presses are now working over time printing inflation bonds under the nine billion dollar schedule. W e are told these’ bonds will not bear interest but will be sold on the basis of the face of the bond less the interest covering a tenure of ten years.. More than that Uncle Sam is not to trust you with the bond but will only give you a receipt for it and the bond will repose for ten years in Uncle/Sam’s vaults in Washington. This is a new wrinkle in the New Deal, something we surmise will not meet with public favor. Of course it will not make much difference whereHhe bond is after the Roosevelt inflationists get your money. I f the government is in the hands of the so-called new dealers ten years from now who is there to guarantee that you will even be repaid? If the.gold clause written in Liberty bonds is worth­ less today, who can promise that the “baby” bonds will be good ten years from now? It is the first time in the history of the nation that a government security is to go on the market with a questionable value. We know the average citizen believes in a square deal for all but ten years is a long way off. Heaven -only knows, the James Brothers brand of New Dealers, may be in control by that time. ’ iaws passed by the White adminisfcra lion and should be repealed at once. Democrats hesitate to ask repeal as the law is their baby. Republican members of the legislature evidently uw satisfied to see the law shot to pieces by the courts. In our opinion the legislature should seek to repeal the law and once again put the Demo­ cratic members on record. WHO SHALL HAVE THE CREDIT? There is much discussion in private groups and in the public prints as to who should get the most credit for the defeat of the entrance of this country in the World Court? Only seven Senators were openly opposed to the plan when the bill was introduced to that body, Senators Borah and Johnson, being the most outspoken of all the opponents. Previous to the vote there appeared many ° f the former supporters of “President Roosevelt in opposition, namely; Father Coughlin, Will Rogers, the humorist; and William Randolph Hearst and his string of newspapers. Senators found their mail loaded with letters and telegrams following the Coughlin appeal to urge rejection of this World Court plan. As the days grow following the. vote, a new name is appear­ ing in. the list given credit as having contributed much to the defeat of the project— Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, who urged a- doption over the air three days previous. It now develops that much resentment was created following the speech of the Presi­ dent’s wife, based on the ground that she was speaking on a subject in which she was not versed and for no other reason than support of a.plan hg^.husband desired,approved. It is evident that “petticoat government” has given the administra­ tion a serious setback and many prominent Democratic leaders adhiitit. ...... ■*..... Donald Richberg, who was named by President Roosevelt as deputy president or assistant president, re­ gardless of the fact that the constitu­ tion provides and we have a vice president; is now the center o f at­ tack by the labor unions who brand him a traitor to their cause in recom­ mending an extension of the automo­ bile code which the President has apS proved. President Greene of y-fne American Federation o f Labor as well as John L. Lewis, head of the United "Mine Workers, are centering their dri\ On Roosevelt. The situation now looks like the. unions are anxi­ ous to “bite the hand that has been feeding them.” The administration has played into their hands under NRA. Richberg cannot be given much consideration for he holds a position and is drawing a salary in violation o f law. To the average reader the President is soon to' reap what he ha? sown. . 1 Now its “ Farmer Brown” to, those who once knew him as a former Sec­ retary of State and Candidate for Governor. To those o f us who know him in the printing and publishing business, Clarence J, Brown, for sometime at least will be known as “Farmer Brown." We Jeam he has taken over a 192 acre farm, one of the best improved agricultural sites, with the latest improvements, i n Clinton county. Of course former Greene countians figure in the trans­ action. Mr. Brown purchased the farm from W, J. Galvin, Wilmington publisher, formerly of Jamestown. Ralph McClellan, a former Greene countian, is the tenant on the farm. Representative Roberta West Nich­ olson of the Indiana legislature, has taken a step that few men would venture. The woman legislator has introduced a bill, which passed the lower House, that outlaws the breach of promise suit in that state. It must run the gauntlet of the Senate. The question of alimony in divorce suits might also be investigated by Mrs. Nicholson. In nine cases out of ten alimony is the background of so many divorce suits. We are remind­ ed of a statement of a famous afc- lorny in speaking of alimony divorce suits: “What comfort could there be to a grass widow1with a $10,900 ali­ mony verdict oh * zero night,” Things are not breaking so good for some of the Roosevelt experi­ ments, The break of the labor union leaders with the administration is a trivial affair compared with the blunders in the' Reedville, W. Va.,ex­ periment, a project of Mrs. Roosevelt, who urged and planned several hun­ dred homes in that mountain region for the homeless. It was planned to erect homes that these people could eventually, if not now, purchase at $2,500. A good sized plot,of ground goes with each—and a Socialistic dream. Senators investigating the .experiment .find- the houses cost a- round $7,500 each, a total-of some $500,000 more than was appropriated. Most all o f them are set on wooden pinning and no foundations. Many never even had chimneys or places for heating plants. TWa plumbing in each is said to be faulty and cost more than $700 when $350 was to be the limit.- The houses are off the small cottage “cut and fit” four and five room affairs. The mail order companies selling this line evidently enjoyed a prosperous business. Imagine erecting a home even for the unemployed in a mountain district that had no place for heat. Mrs. FranklinRoosevelt probably has never had to shake down the furnace in the Whitehouse and for that reason over­ looked a heating plant for a $7,5*0 home, not even erected on a founds Mon, ’ !

There were 230 more new and used cars registered in January than a year ago. The registrations,, were 634 new and used cars this last month and 404 a year. ago. Placing the av­ erage value between new and used cars at $350 each the sum tots! is $221,900, which is not so bad for a de­ pression month, or a time when people complain that are not able to feed or cloth themselves,"pay taxes or the preacher. The huge expenditure for automobiles in January is credited to a Tush to buy or trade before the Ohio sales tax became affective. C a n o lM lin d e r Co.

It is one of the laws that is seldom observed fairly and we have often wondered if we would not be better off without it. The Norris bill lays the ground plan for reduction in operation of the postal depart­ ment that is overloaded with politicians. But we could have little faith in the Roosevelt administration even restricted to making appointments from the postal ranks when it openly ignores the law as it stands today.
