Advertising Rates made known on Application. National Adver. Representative There may be a few days delay j in starting the improvement on state highway 527. due to the fact that materials are just now being purchased by tbe state but it will be sent out in a few days and work ' will start immediately thereafter. Distribution of bank deposits and the balance of the 1930 beet crop fund, will help many to take care | of their spring taxes, which by the way are payable on or before the ‘first Monday in May and that's not far off. We may not like the rulings of. tile state tax board as to what in-' tangibles are taxable under the' new excise law but its a relief at least to know what is and what isn’t. Now all we have to do is to dig up the stamp money. The state cops will have new uniforms May Ist. to distinguish them from other uniformed gents. The new regalia consists of blue coats, and grey breeches and from the descriptions given, ought to Moll lhe policy officers up rather nail*. ~!*r"tt Saturday is President's Day ansfo-should be observed by every good citizen. It's not politics but bmuuess. It is an occasion for payuxgZihie respects to those who are tt'xEe to bring this nation out of the Economic chaos of depression to "ytart the wheels of industry moving so that the men may return to work and every one be happy. Tliis is Clean-Up Week and the trucks will start tomorrow gathering up the rubbish that has been placed in tlie alleys as per instructions. It's a big job and an important one and those in charge for the city greatly appreciate the cooperation being given. The general cleanup should be followed by house cleaning, painting and a remodeling campaign that will put many people to work. With Hie winter over we feel much credit should be given ihose who have had charge of the important work of taking care of the needy. They have performed a great service and we feel that every one here has been kept from suffering and without heaping a

great burden upon the people as has been done in so many counties. All this requires effort, much of it, and we know it is duly appreciated. t There is apparently no desire to , weaken the American dollar but ■. the time came when this nation t could no longer be made the butt of the world gamblers. We will be 2 surprised if when the conference of 1 world powers is held, they do not j . I consider how all countries can > have the same basic money and > that may be gold or it may be both J gold and silver. Whatever it is, it seems it will be necessary to have a uninimity of policies. This is graduating week in the various township high schools and Hon. Barton Reese Pogue of Upland will give the addresses. He is a trained and talented speaker and every one who attends these important events, will be impress- . ed with his logic and his sound advice. To all the graduates we exi tend sincerest congratulations and . the wish that you may each find ; the battle of life easier than most folks are now proclaiming it. James Ramsey MacDonald. Prime Minister of England and his (laugh-1 ter. Miss Ishbel, are enjoying their | visit in Washington where lite for I them is just one round of conferences and engagements. They like this naion and are respected highly .by the leaders and millions of Americans, for their sincerity and desire to aid mainkind. The Prime 'Minister believes the World Coni fereuce called by Mr. Roosevelt I will work out plans that will relieve I distress all over the globe. President Roosevelt is being given powers in excess of those ever given to a President of these United States and ten times more than most folks ever supposed could be ■ given but these are unusual days I aud if any one has a better plan. I iie sheuld spring it and not just i shout in order to create a political issue This is no occasion for that kind of "monkey business’’ and should not be tolerated. The situation is much more serious than . the average person thought it was and any one who has tried to discover the facts realizes that only drastic measures will take us out of the slough. Power in the hands will not be abused for the moment it is. that power will be taken away from him by the same body which is now granting it. In the meantime. the President must have tlie authority to tic* quickly as problems arise and as he sees fit. . 2__" i Test lour Knowledge Can you answer seven of these test question?

influential businessmen back home. Lobbyists by the score mobilized for the impending battle. Leaders of the great expansion ! ist era in American business were I 1 called to give their views to the , i house committee. Among those I who may testify are Henry Ford.' I Alfred P. Sloan of General Motors. ! and Gerard Swope of General Elec- , | trie. Organized labor will be con- | 1 suited in the person of President j j Wiiliam Green of the American i Federation of Labor. Many industrial leaders are con-1 1 vinced the measure will mean de- | struction for the “American sys-j tern" of unhampered aud free 1 ’ business competition. Others, i however, see in it the hope of an i era of sound prosperity. I Leading the battle for passage. [ gently prodding the weary house I leadership, is the figure of America's first woman cabinet officer. ‘ Labor Secretary Frances Perkins. . —o SENATE READY TO GIVE GRANT TO ROOSEVELT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I 1 crgeucy is not greenback money I and would be kept sound by a redemption fund in the treasury. There are four provisions in the inflation plan jiending in the senI ate today as a rider to the admin- > listration s omnibus farm relief and 1 mortgage refinancing bill. 1. Authority for the President ■ Ito arrange for the federal reserve; Ito purchase $3,000,000,000 IB) of' 'government obligations to expand | credit and federal reserve currency. 11 2. Authority for the President to I: authorize the issue of $3.000,000.-; I 1 000 (B) additional currency in the j form of United States notes. 3. Authority for a maximum re ] 'duction of 50 per cent in the gold | icontent of the dollar. 4. Authority for tne President; Ito accept a maximum of $100,000.-: 000 in silver in partial payment of , European war debts. I 1 The bill bristles with "authority."] All of it is conferred on Mr. Roose- I velt. No provision of the inflation 1 amendment is mandatory — the'. President may put it into oper- I 1

at km or he may not, as he chooses. On that ground, some Progressive Democrats and Republicans — Senator Borah. Repn., Idaho, is one—complain the plan scarcely is an I inflation measure at all. Some persons smile sly smiles | and predict Mr. Roosevelt is hoax-1 ling Thomas and the other inflation- ' ists. Behind these smiles is tlie i ' belief the President will not put I I much of die inflation Into effect, pt is agreed generally that by adoptling the Thomas plan as his own 1 the President has avoided an inI flation dispute witli a congress de- | termined to enact legislation of •some kind looking toward a cheap.er dollar. Mr. Roosevelt has informed his congressional leaders he is eager for tlie proposed powers so that he may better bargain with foreign statesmen here and later at the world economic conference. The senate is overwhelmingly inflationist, perhaps two to one. The house is eager to vote. Senator Reed, Repn.. Pa., aud House Republican Leader Snell concede at the outset that they cannot defeat the admin-; jistration bill. 1 To the Reed-Snell protest tliat I the proposed inflation would be unsound, its advocates reply that the $3,000,000.(100 (B) currency issue to be authorized is accompanied by an automatic retirement provision whereby tour per cent of the out--1 standing notes will be called in aninually and cancelled. To the silver section of the bill i I will be added another "authority.” I Mr. Roosevelt will be empowered ' but not compelled to order free ' coinage of silver at a ratio with I gold to be fixed by him. Tli administration ins agreed to that amendment. None expects it ever to be put into effect. FOUR KILLED AT PORTLAND EARLY SUNDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) cemetery here.
