velt busted all to pieces when he told the Democrats to hang on a few hours and he would fly over to tell them how much he appreciated the honor and what his plans were. - Representative Fred Calloway in- • traduced a bill to investigate the ; auto drivers license printing of 11)29 and Speaker Myers has ap- ; pointed five Democrats and three ' Republicans to do the job. it Is , claimed that *82,000 was paid for 1 the job, which was sublet to a Lu- , fayette printer for *IO,OOO. The contract was let by Otto Fifield, former secretary of state to a firm in Aurora, Illinois, who sent it on to Lafayette. It does look like shenanigans, but its doubtful if the legislature can straighten it out. One of the measures before the special session is that to abolish the state police at a saving of about $200,000 per year. That might be popular and it might not, depending upon what services these officers really perform. If they are beneficial they should be retained but if not then of course they will go into the discard. Law makers can easily ascertain the facts and should act accordingly. This is a good time for legislators to keep their feet on the ground, to eliminate waste but not to injure government. While relief measures are being discussed and passed into laws, one thing should always be remembered. The real relief is that which w ill start business on the upgrade and put men and women back to work at their old jobs. That is what the American workingmen and workingwomen want. When that day comes they will feel secure and independent again. To achieve that end all of the industrial and financial genius of the nation should be bent.-Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Its unsound to provide money for the ex soldier or for the man who is striving to save his home, according to the latest Republican dope, with which they are trying to turn the tide against the Democrats by discrediting Mr. Garner, the nominee for vice-president and now rpeakcr of the house, but its perfectly alright and excellent business to aid the large city banks to any extent, the railroads and | the utilities. Most folks will problably be too dumb to understand it and may decide to take a chance on the side which is standing for the people. o r RADIO PROGRAM ”1 9— « Thursday's 5 Best Radio Features Copyright 1932 by UP.

RELATIVES TO DODGEPAYGUT Joker Discovered To Protect Congressmen’s Kin From Pay Reductions Editors note — Recently the United Press attracted nationwide attention by reporting the ( widespread employment of relatives and other forms of Racketeering in congress. Since then congress has ’pa-sed in economy and pay reduction law. In response to numerous inquiries, Raymond Clapper manager of the United Press Washington Burgau, has sought to loarn how the relatives are faring under the new economy regime. Following is the first of two or three di-patches reporting this situation. (Copyright 1932. By United Press) Washington. July 13—(UP) —A ; Joker ins been discovered which: serves to protect congressmen’s. wives, daughters, sons and other relatives from the full foice of the new economy and pay reduction law. The entire house membership is revising its payroll in accordance with the new economy act. But congressmen fixed the law so they could deal gently with relatives. One middlewestern congressman , has even increased his wife's salary. An eastern congressman has taken off one relative and substituted another at higher pay. Comparatively few wives and other relatives are being dropped, though the law frowns on double family employmerit in other departments. Full detail- of these changes will be reported later. Despite the storm aroused by recent United Press publication of details concerning the way the family payroll racket operates in congress most of the 100 or more members indulging in these practices are sitting tight. They aie waiting tor the excitement to blow over. Despite the opening of the payrool records to inspection by House resolution, despite the defeat of Senator Smith W. Brookhart, Repp.., lowa, partly because five other IBrookharts were on the federal payroll, and despite floods of indignant letters from poverty stricken constituents, the majority of congressmen are taking a courageous stand on this issue. They are standing loyally by their right to hire relatives. They took a cut of 10 per cent themselves. In these hard times campaign contributions come slowly. The thrifty members are trying to make their clerk hire allowances, mileffge allowance for stationery and other petty side revenues of a seat in the house of representatives carry this year's election expenses. Many a wife and daughter will have to surrender government pin money to help pay for dad's campaign this year. For a time they had a close call

when the economy bill w?s being! considered. But members framed the law so that their clerks come j under a special category. Each congressman had been allowed *5,000 for clerk hire. The new law cuts this 8 1-3 percent, down to *4.583.33 , The joker is contained in the fol- i lowing language: "Such reduced | allowance to be apportioned by the : represemtive, delegate or resident i I commissioner among his clerks as I he may determine.’’ The clerk of the house has notl-1 tied officially each member that the *old top limit of *3.900 to any one i clerk stands without reduction. within that limitation, the same as ; has always applied, the congressi man may split his *4.583.33 any way wishes. Furthermore congressmen exempted themselves from the pro- : vision requiring tint in dismissing employes the first to go must be married 'persons when both are woiking for the government and that in hiring new employees preferences should be given to persons other than those with wife or husband on. the government payroll. Application of the married worker provision to congress would have 1 stricken off the wives of Speaker Garner and Democratic leader Rainey and numerous others. o * TWENTY YEARS * AGO TODAY the Daily Democrat File ♦ 4 ' Decatur beats Monroe 7-5 “Cappy” Johns is feature ct game.
