The fellow who is kicking because the dollar is being made a foot tall of American finance is probably sore because he can't receive the punt. Mayor LaGuardia of New York Cty is sweeping the Tammany boys out by the score, filling their places with friends of the new executive. Now it only remains to demonstrate that the new men are more efficient, honest and popular. The birthday party ball for President Roosevelt will be the big social event of the season. You will have a great time and will help to do the community's share for the Warm Springs fund. Renew your subscription to the Daily Democrat. We promise you a snappy and lively paper for another year and for less than a penny a day you can assure yourself of getting all the news of the county, state and nation. And news is news these days The license bureaus did the largest business on record the past week or two. due to the fact that the law is being enforced this year while previously the owners of cars were given from a month to ninety days to comply. The guarantee of bank deposits will immediately restore confidence of the public in the financial institutions and will add much to the restoration of good times. The New Year is starting off with the outlook for the greatest year in a long time. Casualties as a result of New Years celebration were only 42 as compared to five times that many
two years ago and to 150 a year ago. Whether the brand of liquor < was better or the folks since they could get all they wanted, inbibed less freely has not been made clear. Don't try to drive your car with out a license, at least if you are traveling any distance. In numerous cities the police are arresting those who have not complied with the law. In some there are a few days of leniency but why put off what you have to do soon under any conditions? Those who thought that Pleas Greenlee was going too far when he "fired" Republicans and replaced them with deserving Democrats ought to get a big kick out of the broom Mayor LaGuardia is now using in the old Democratic stronghold of New York City. Employes who thought they had a Ute lease I Ability to serve ?orreet!y must be born of practical experience. W. H. Zwick & Son Funeral Directors Mr*.

are now looking for the nearest CWA station to apply for a job. The board of county commissioners have renamed Harvey LaFountaine as county farm superintendent, A. J. Smith ns a member of the Memorial hospital board. Dr. J. W. Visard as county health commissioner and Dr. J. M. Miller as county physician. All these men have served the county some years, all have made good and public opinion will favor the action of the county board. A short and harmonious session ! of congress is being predicted by I the majority leaders and every cue i hopes tl>ey know Btey ' speak. It would happy surprise and popular action if the law makers would meet such obligations as are necessary to make the old budget balance, listen to advice from the chief. President Roosevelt and then go home in time for the spring fishing. Some one has figured it ontthe government pays big wages to the unemployed so they can buy more food and articles which the farmer raises and the manufacturer makes, so they can pay more taxes to supply the government with revenue to pay big wages to the unemployed so they can buy more food and so on and so on. Well thats not such a vicions circle at that for it licks the old bad wolf. There is no more reason to extend the period for buying plates < than to grant an additional inter- i val for payment of taxes. The I public is familiar with the Monday 1 deadlines in May and November and those who do not enter the delinquent clasS arrange to pay within the specified time. The : same rule should apply to the an nual automobile fees. The experience may inconvenience a number of families this year but if the rule is adhered to rigidly at the turn of subsequent years. Hoosiers will make arrangements to meet this motor levy. Uniformity of practice is an essential need in handling this matter.—lndianapolis Star.

Governor’s Son Emulates Father—Turns Author Harrisburg. Pa.—(U.K) —The ageold axiom of "like father, like son," seems applicable to Pennsylvania's gubernatorial family. Several years ago Gov. Gifford Pinchot, accompanied by his wife. Mrs. Cornelia Bryce Pinchot, and son. Gifford. Jr., 15, took an extensive South Seas cruise. Experiences and adventures of the party since have been recorded by the State's chief executive in a book of which the Governor is the author. And now his son "Gifty," as he is known among his schoolmates, the footsteps of his father—he's the author of a similar book. "Giff and Stiff in the South Seas," is the title of the production of Gifford. Jr. The “Stiff" in the title, the son of the executive

COMPLETE PLAN 10 TAKE CENSUS Census of American Business Is To Be Started This Week Washington. Jan. 3-(Speci»D--Plans for the forthcoming census of American busmen have been completed according to Director of the Census. William L. Austin, and the 16.0bb supervisors and enumeiators will begin their duties in every section of the United States this week. Funds for this important undertaking will be furnished by the Civil Works Administration. The census will cover every retail and wholesale organisation and most service and amusement businesses, and will furnish the first accurate measurement of the effect of the depression on these businesses. It will be extremely valuable to compaie such basic data as employment, salaries and wages, total business, and expenses during a year of depression (1933) with those obtaining in a year of prosperity (1929). The Censns of Business will afford temporary employment to approximately one person for every 140 business establishments in the United States. It is expected to canvass over two and a quarter million establishments. Every town and city will, no doubt, share in the employment opportunities afforded by this nation-wide enumeration. It is calculated to provide over two and one-half million man-hours of employment. These employees will be recruited through the local United States Employment Offices.
To make it possible to complete the work in the field by February 15. 1934, and to enable business men to supply the information readily, a simple questionnaire has been prepared of but eight questions on a single sheet. These questions call for an accurate description of the business establishment canvassed, the kind of merchandise handled or service offered for sale, the principal functions performed, the employment given during the year 1933 to meu and wdmen on a part-time and full time basis, the salaries and wages paid to such employees, other operating expenses incurred, the net! sales or other operating receipts of the business, its stocks on hand at the last inventory date, aud the amount of business done on a credit basis. Since this is the first time that service businesses and amusements are included in a census, it will lie possible to ascertain where the consumer's dollar is spent, in what . kinds of stores, for what kinds of | merchandise, and how much of it is , spent for services and amusement. (After all, the consumer is the foun-| dation stone of our entire business | structure, according to Director Austin. All planning mast therefor, be based on that foundation. concerning which accurate knowledge is essential. The complete employment data result from the Census of Business will show relative employment opportunities which absorb about onefifth of all persons gainfully employed in this country. The seasonal fluctuations in employment from month to month will be an aid to seasonal planning for the individual business man and for the community and will make possible anticipation of part-time aud full time employment with fair accuracy. All information obtained will l>e held in strict confidence by the Government, but through the basic data to be supplied by the census business men should be able t<> make comparative studies for future planning. This may lead toward greater efficiency in operating methods and policies. Now that collective action is made possible by the National Recovery Administration. trade associations can plan the activities of their respective groups not on ‘hunches' but on the basis of facts. Never before, in the opinion of Director Austin, has there been such urgent need for accurate and adequate busines facts as now when code enformement is made necessary. Cetainly no planning on a national scale can even bo contemplated without a complete inventory of each business community as of a recent date. The Census of Business will supply this need. Speed, accuracy, and completeness. are the watch-words of the officials in charge of the project. The fullest cooperation is expected of all business men. large and small, once they appreciate the s alue of the undertaking. It is also deemed a concrete way of contributing to a speedy and efficient business recovery, to which every business man should respond unstintiugly aud wholeheartedly.. In many respects this Census of Business will be comparable with the 1929 Census of Distribution. The great value of the 1929 census has been demonstrated during the current year in the process of organizing business by codes and tn the preparation of a background for economics planning. This new census will enhance the value of the 1929 census to a great degree by reason of the comparison which
