AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm cr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
lormation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Waste cf Public Funds
“If there is anything amiss in
the present state of our affairs,
as the formidable deficit lately
unfolded to us indicates, I as
cribe it to the inattention of
Congress to their duties, to the
unwise dissipation and waste
of the public contributions.
They seemed, some little time
ago, to be at a loss for objects
whereupon to throw7 away the
apparently fathomless funds
of the treasury.”
The foregoing might easily
be taken for the utterance ot
some present-day critic of gov
ernmental extravagance, for it
neatly fits the situation which
now exists. But it does not re
fer to the national deficit of 19
32. The quotation is from a
letter written by Thomas Jef
ferson in 1820, and indicates
that reckless spending of the
taxpayers’ contributions had
become a Congressional habit
even in that early day.
Just now a great deal of at
tention is being given to vari
ous proposals for a reduction
of government expenditures,
but every proposed economy
will meet with determined re
sistance on the part of in
trenched bureaucracy.
The demand for curtailment
of wasteful spending is becom
ing more and more insistent,
however, and both national
and state legislators would do
well to heed this demand if
they desire to remain on the
public payroll themselves.

Those Busy Bureaus
What those government bu
3 in Washington can’t
...ink up to experiment and
piddle w7ith must be unthink
able. After much research the
Burea u ot' Standards recently
detei mined the relative noise
making possibilities of a saxo
phone player and a tap dancer.
Now these learned scientists
are investigating women’s hose
and the limbs, shapely cr oth
erwise, which will wear them.
They have decided that a 30
neh length for ladies’stockings
is about right, and maybe they
will pass a law about it. But,
again, maybe not, for we read
that many women are protest
ing against this attempt at
tandardization, saying that
‘in the arbitrary length some
>f them look like infants in
-ocks, while others whose legs
ire shorter than normal claim
he stockings will approach
heir ears.”
These protests naturally cal!

appropriate for the various siz
;s to be officially authorized."
; All of which causes the New
V'ork Sun to pertinently re
nark that “some of the way?
- ind means which the govern
nent finds for wasting taxpay
jrs’ money would be funny it
he deficit and the problem ot
inding money for taxes were
lot so serious.”
Think It Over
Our home town merchants re
ent having their patrons place
jrders for merchandise with
out-of-town firms, and who
can blame them? They pay
heavy taxes to support your
schools, maintain your streets
and roads, make charitable
donations to dozens of differ
ent causes and in most cases
help to finance and carry for
ward everything in the line of
community progress.. Alto
they extend credit to all worthy
citizens in time of stress, which
you cannot get from the out-of
town establishment,
your patronage and support,
even tho they may not sell
at prices as low as outside.
Whole-hearted cooperation on
the part of every citizen in a
community is necessary if that
community is to prosper and
grow.
Just for Fun
-o
Enthusiasm is what causes us
to start a lot of things we can’t
finish.
A successful leader is one
who can guess which way the
crowd wants to go.
‘‘What is Bill feeling so bad
about?”
“He bought a new suit with
two pairs of pants and some
body burnt a hole in his coat.”
Nearly everybody knows the
saxophone was invented by
Adolphe Sax, but no one seems
to know why.
Americanism: A Maryland
county spent $34,000 for an
audit of the county books to
disclose a $24,000 embezzle
ment.
Customer in butcher shop1::
“Hey! You’re giving me a big
piece of bone!”
Butcher: “Not at all. You’re
paying for it.”
A RIDDLE
The vote in last week’s prim
ary election recalls to mind the
story cif the politically unwise
Nome Swede who attended a
Republican rally short before
the first election of Woodrow
Wilson. After the Wilson
landslide, the Swede attended
i Demoeiatic caucus and, after
-izing up the crowd, remarked
to a friend: “I cannot under
tancl dese American politics.
1 go to de Republican meet,’
in den I go to de Democrat
meet.’ An’ den I see dat all de
Democrats is Republican, too.’
