We arc fortunate to have a man •with the courage of Mr. Roosevelt to assume so responsible a place as the presidency is now. Keep smiling, every one is about even and the future is ahead with many years of happiness. Remember your neighbor and do unto him as you wish him to do to you. The two thousand acres of beets in Adams county ought to come in live next two or three days. If you are considering raising this crop, don’t put off signing, it will soon be too late. Within a few (lavs, the 73rd congress will convene in extraordinary session, giving President Roose-1 veit the opportunity to start his i “new deal.” Happy days will soon "be here again. The Yellow Jackets had their j stingers sharpened for the big! tournament and made a splendid show ing against a bunch of strong teams, proving that getting a basketball team ready for these events doesn't necessarily mean winning every game during the season. This nation needs just what President Roosevelt gave them in bis address Saturday, leadership. He has not time for idle promises, but believes in speed during times like these. Little wonder the real folks are for him. They don't care what his politics is. if lie delivers. President Roosevelt did not mince words. He indicated those who have caused or assisted in causing the catastrophe this country now faces, he promised quick action and begged file cooperation of the people and the thousands who listened, cheered as tears coursed down their faces. The banking situation will be solved. President Roosevelt has promised it and will make good. Within a few days, the country

will again be on a firm foundation and business will start on the march of progress tiiat will carry us to the most substantial prosperity we have ever known. Have faith. In the years to come last Saturday will lie a day in history. Federal banks took a holiday, most j states were on a moratorium, busj iness suspender). It will be talked about'for < enturies and on that day it will be noted, Franklin Delano Roosevelt assumed the presidency, extending hope and urging courage, it was a great American event. Business men should remember the meeting at the Chamber of Commerce rooms tomorrow evening, at which time plans will be made to assist in securing beet acreage in Adams county. That's as important business as you can possibly have this week. It will mean much next autumn when the crop conics in. The $1.50 tax bill amendment caused quite a flurry in the legislature and an attempt to nullify it by changing two words was frustrated. It was duly passed and will continue to cause a flurry as time goes on and the taxes on real estate and personal property is held to a minimum. Recovery depends much in a come back of real estate values and that can only happen through a distribution of the taxes to other sources. The safe way to build for the future is to help get acreage for tile sugar factory. They will spend a million dollars for beets and labor the next year. That's worth working for. As the days and weeks and months slip by. the distribution of that sum is sure to bring a red letter period in the community. We need 4/00 acres in Aflame county, have half of it and ought to get the rest this week. The legislature will adjourn tonight after completing the regular sixtv-one day session. Much important legislation has been enacted and while some of the new laws, ami particularly those which redistribute taxes, may seem severe, it is believed they will be entirely satisfactory, after fair trial. If they prove too burdensome, Governor McNutt will see they are corrected. We believe the record achieved by ttie assembly will be approved by the general public. It’s President Roosevelt and he is your President, whether you voted for him or not. He will do his utmost and by the Irnlp of God and your support, will pull the nation out of its worst rlilenm within a short time. His inaugural speech was the shortest on record and perhaps said the most of any President since the days of Lincoln and he meant it. If congress desires to assist, they may, but if they hesitate, President Roosevelt will act for them. He is (lie kind of leader this nation needs light now. of TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File ♦ ♦ Decatur votes to ret 'in saloon by a majority of 32 votes.

FOUR-DAY MODIFIED BANK HOLIDAY j CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ‘deposits which may be withdrawn |on demand without restrict ions. I Under direction of their respective federal reserve district, six authorities banks shortly will be- ! gin issuing clearing house oertifiI cates. These will he in small denominations. It was explained by officials that business houses would find it to their own interests to accept tlie certificates the same as regular currency. Virtual national uniformity in the certificate will be obtained through federal reserve supervision, al though the clearing house of each locality will issue its own emergency money. Isolated banks not members of clearing houses will deal with their own federal reserve] officials. Meantime house and senate lead-' ers began conferences today to draft legislation and set the machinery for swift action when they convene Thursday. Heavy and unwarranted runs on banks and drain of gold through foreign demands made this temporary action necessary, it is intended to protect the interest of bank depositors. o— WOODLN PLANS CURRENCY AIDI CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE j ers.” Woodin said. "These powers | are the salvation of the proclama-1 •lion”. Woodin said that many plans] and ideas of how the situation should be met have been advanced. Woodin pointed t ou high pile of telegrams on bis desk. They were blue. "We will change that color shortly,” Woodin suid. “Various communities will handle their own mediums of ex change,” Woodin continued. “It is our hope to get banks into shape to carry on checking accounts during the banking lioii day. It Is logical to assume llmt this is the aim of tho president.” Woodin pointed out that federal supervision of clearing house certificates and other mediums of exchange by total communities would make the issuance legal. He pointed out that clearing house certificates issued in 1907 were w ithout authority and tin i • fore illegal. The secretary expressed a belief that scrip or clearing house certificates issued in one city would be acceptable m others.

HITLER PARTY WINS ELECTION — German Chancellor Wins Sweeping Victory In Sunday’s Election Berlin. Mar. 6.— (U.R) —Chancellor 1 fdolf Hitler's command ot Germany 'lias been thunderingly affirmed. Returns still filtering in today showed that the Nazi rule was accorded a sweeping victory in Sunday’s election, both in the reichstag and the Prussian state diet. The national revolution is on its way and will continue, the Nazi leader •declared as his party's poll mounted toward 20,000,000. The reichstag was convened for April 1 in the garrison church at Potsdam. The sensation of election day was the government's seizure of the free city of Hamburg, where brown shirt Nazi storm troops and police invaded the city hall. The Swastika emblem was raised over both the city hall and the Altona ] barracks. Lord Mayor Carl Petersen of Hamburg resigned. The seiz- j ure v.-as ordered telegraphically i from Berlin by Wilhelm Frick, j Hitlerite leader. Considering the tenseness pre- j ceding the election, the day passed ] with comparatively little disorder, j Approximately 250 arrests were ] made throughout the country. Four persons were killed and 14 wounded in the nation. The most serious outbreak was at Breslau, where an armored car, equipped with machine guns, was used to suppress rioting. Although communists polled more than 4,800,000 votes and seated 81 deputies, the party lost strength heavily as compared with previous elections. In Berlin, where Hitlerites polled a million votes, up 280. 000 over November, the communists polled 730.000. a 20 per cent loss. o— HOLD SERVICES FOR SEN.
