Overheard: "Who's going to buy a license plate next January?" "The damphooi*." "Welti I'm not, after the way they made a sucker of me thi* year, and: got me.to pay full price for a license plate." Reflection: The only way to effectively show their displeasure is to vote against every aolon next time, who voted for that auto license rebate to slow payers this year. But they will have forgotten it by that time.?Yorkville Enquirer. DOLLARS COMB HOME Trace the oeurse of a dollar spent for property improvement, repairs or replacement. Part of it goes to local merchants, who provide the needed materials. Another part goes to the workman on the job. The workman spends his part for the necessities of life. The comer Ifrocery, the drug store, the department store get it?and through them it goes to their employes, to the farmer and the manufacturer. Then the circle begins again?the money enters new pockets, passes through other industries, travels to other sections of the country. The part of the dollar going to the store providing the supplies follows much the same course. It pays thei store's porkers. It pays bills. It> goes to factories to purchase new stock. From the factory it goes to other workmen, to related industries supplying raw materiaLs, to investors. And, at last, the dollar come* back, through one channel or another, to the original spender. In a short length of time that dollar has a thousand uses. It has done the work of a thousand, dollars. That's the l>eauty of money which is actually circulating'?it is used aa indefinite number of times, and it (does much good each time. Now is the time to obtain needed repairs at the lowest cost in decades ?and at the same time do your bit in fighting depression. Jobs are cheaper than charity?and without the jobs, there won't be anything for charity. Whose Money Are You Spending? Yours? You earned it? Think a moment. If you have $100 and you owe $100 on past due" accounts, you have . no money. You are spending money that belongs to your creditors. There is the matter of honesty involved, but consider, instead, the matter of sportsmanship. When you opened that account which is still unpaid you said to the merchant, "I want this merchandise but I haven't the money available to pay for it. Ij&t me have the goods and I will pay you in thirty days." So the merchant trusted you and gave you the goods which cost him actual money. It'a not the "sporting" thing to do, to let your friend, the merchant, hold the bag for you indefinitely. He needs the money to buy new merchandise so he can sell it again. That's the way he makes his living. If you have his money and hold it, you are keeping him from earning as much money as he ought. Sometimes merchants actually fail in business because too many of their friends don't think it necessary to pay their bills. I>o the sporting thing. Pay the bills ynu owe Release the money that i- t od up in your accounts. If you haven't the money to pay, go to the nit chants you owe and tell them frankly You will find them fair and wM,o.^ v..a :r. any way to conveniently liquidate the debt. Any debt - a debt of honor. Particularly so ./hen the transaction is based solely on your word ?on your promise, "1 will pay in thirty days." ? Morgan ton News-Herald. Mabel Spoils It. "John," said the wife, "who is Mabel?" "Mabel," replied the husband, "why ?er?didn't I tell you ? Mabel my dear, is the?er?the name of a horse I backed yesterday. It won. Here's a fiver for you." "John," bus wife greeted him when; he returned home that evening, "you know that horse you backed yesterday?" "Yes." 1 "Well, it's been ringing you up on the 'phone!" .V Capital Observations ( Special Correspondence) Washington.

A much greater stream of thoee who j?till have the price of railroad fare, or who can buy a few gallons of gaa to move the old machine, will be advancing on Washington. It is an excellent tune to visit. In fact any time is opportune to come to this beautiful, magnificent city. 'as* A book just published, "Woodrbw; Wilson: the Mam Who Lives On," -U from the pen of John K. Winkler, a! j Camden boy, later of New York,, where he has attained prominence as a writer and author. Its appearance, is perhaps timely, at the beginning of j the first Democratic administration j since Wilson's day. The book is not j so voluminous as to preclude attention by the average reader, and will j be found to be an interesting biography, whether or not one agrees with s all the views presented. The life of our great war president is treated as a tragedy, and in a sense it was. However, the expression is made that "At the end he went down fighting. His was the real glory of the conquered." Although losing his fight to have the United States enter the League of Nations, Woodrow Wilson could not be considered as conquered. In addition to rating him as one of the most eminent men of all time, aside from military leaders, history will accord to him along with Clemenceau and Lloyd George a place flmong the victors, as primarily instrumental in the winning of the terrific struggle. In the cabinet the secretary of the; treasury is1 second only to the sec re-; tary of state, and to fill the position President Roosevelt chose William H. Wood in, a Pennsylvania!!, who has , lately had his residence in Now \ork.. Ho has figured largely as a business executive, having been president of the American Oar &. Foundry Co., and connected with sundry other organi-i zations. Under the law a secretary, of the treasury must relinquish all j business before assuming his official , position. Politically until recently he-; was affiliated with the Republican! party, and left only when he experienced a change of heart because of the drift of his party away from fche interests of the people?the common people, as Bryan used to call them. Woodin is inimical to plutocracy and to the conduct of the government in the interests of the wealthy, and bis designation has given general satisfaction to the elements that elected Roosevelt. He bears the additional distinction of being a musical composer of merit, and wrote a march that was played during the inaugural parade. During national campaigns the cry isTaiHed in the north that, if the. Democrats win the south will be in | the saddle. It is largely true and should be so. In the present organization of the senate, of the chairmanships of committees nineteen of thirty-three are hold by southerners, and in the house of representatives twenty-seven of forty-four went south of Mason and Dixon's line. Experience has shown that seniority is the fairest ami most peaceable method of disposing of the places of honor and authority. As a general rule the south retains her senators and representatives for long periods, and rarely are there breaks in party regularity, exceptions occurring only in years such as 1D20 and 1928. In the remainder of the country Democracy can claim with certainty only a few of the senatorships regularly, and the same may be said regarding members of the house. The elections go alternately to one party and then to the other, thus allowing only limited opportunity for the establishment of continuous service. For instance in .1920 tho state of Indiana sent a solid ; Republican delegation to Congress, whereas now the delegation in tHe^ i house is entirely Democratic. In both 1 "f t'ne year-, menf. -ned South tare-; iir.a and nearly all of the Sout.hvwi states M-nt solid I >em<*-rata* delega-!

Furthermore lie is i fulfilling promises and meeting ex-j pectations. When asked what el-" he has in mind his u-ua! rep.y i.>; " Kt ad the Democratic platform " The President has urged speedier! ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS During and eince th? bank holiday* th? b**t new* of each week Ha* been of a psychological character. It haaj three phase*: faith in the new AdiA in titration, demonstrated by the support it i* giv?n by organisation* and individual* of all political divisions; confidence in the future of the country; a belief that recovery la underway. Moat important of these is confidence. So far as the public mind generally is concerned, the daya of gloom are over. The spirit of inertia that gripped so many millions a few months ago, haa been replaced j by ti spirit of aggressiveness and acI tkm. c . j This spirit is naturally" reflected in the attitude of industrial organisms. Of great interest is a survey recently made by a press association among the major industries of the country. 'It produced opinion as follows: vfteel?Prospect for recovery brighter than at any time in past few years, _ Metals?An unmistakable return of confidence is felt. Cement?Slow but certain change for the better anticipated. Machinery?'Stimulated sales looked for. Meat Products?Supplies on hand not excessive, and price rise expected. Flour?Moderate price advance, at least, assured. ; Textiles?GreAter buying activity , and firmer price levels anticipated. Department Stores?Predict rise in < prices. Shoes and I^eather?Any change ] will be up, not down. These forecasts reflect the attitude j of the leaders of most other indua- , tries. ' The department of Agriculture , forecasts a general reduction in acre- < age of major crops t^his year. De- j creases of 3.5 per cent in corn for < harvest; 3 per cent in spring wheat j and in oats; 13 per cent in flax-seed, j rice and sweet potatoes; 5.4 per cent j m potatoes are indicated. Contrary , to the general trend is tobacco, for , which a 22. per cent increase in acre- , age i* predicted. ] Farm leaders made a dramatic move j when, led by Secretary Wallace, they , called on President Roosevelt and j asked him to request Congress for ] dictatorial powers in the matter of ] farm products. Under their proposed p legislation, the President would have j absolute power in fixing the price of wheat, corn, cotton, hogs, cattle, dairy products, etc. Purpose of the legis- i lation would be to bring about paTity j of farm prices between agricultural < and industrial commodities. The pro- < posal, if it becomes a law, would give 1 president Roosevelt even greater 1 powers than were given President Wilson under the 'Food Administra-* tion Act made necessary by the war. ( Farm mortgages remain a pressing , jagricultural problem. The Administration will give every effort to find- ( ing means of equitably solving it. It is not, however, a new problem. A survey has shown, for example, that 45.2 per cent of all farms in New ( York are undgr mortgage?and this1 is precisely the same percentage that was mortgaged in 1900. Best year was 1925, when the percentage dropped to 38.7. Farm prices have remained fairly steady, and there have been a number of advances. It is doubtful if any major recession will set in. Aftermath of the banking difficulties is a drive to bring all of the 12,I 000 state banks into the Federal Reserve System. Some observers hold that this is rvpt enough?in 1932, over 80 per cent of bank failures involved j banks of less than $200,000 capital and they believe this to be proof of a need for extension of branch bank- 1 ing. Others point to the fact that ; thousands of small banks are excellently managed, and are as sound or sounder than many big banks, and i hold that banking legislation should simply seek to eliminate poor man- . agement and dubious practices, whether the product of dishonesty or ine xperience.

It didnt become hysterical, it didst lose its balance. It told the truth, th? dark side, and when it could, tin bright side. It certainly kept dowi wild rumors. In the, presentation ?1 news I believe it has been non-partisan, and certainly it made it the business of the moment to publish tl^ the plans for recovery. It interpreted these, advocating the constructive, rejecting the false or chimerical. The fact is that through all the stress the papers have been showing championship form. First, they have been true to thair ethical ideals and second, the industry, as such, has been intelligently managed. Compared to activities in other lines of business there have been few failures, practically no speculative loss, and no .scandals. The flag has been held high, and practically, remember, the same mass of news and comment has been carried through as in 1929. When the first signs of an upturn appeared in July* the papers, of course, became the heralds of hope. But great as has been t'he contribution of the papers to the mere mechanics of recovery, they are doing even greater work. They are laying the foundations for the new social otder, the new order of human relations that is dawning with the .acknowledged necessary readjustments in tbe American program. The discussion is now going on in the public forum :>f the press. The day of so-called "rugged individualism" is over. A new era is lawning in which industry itself will provide for the workers greater security and leisure. -Stabilization for ndustry and capital and stabilization for laboT now being promoted by the press constitutes the greatest movement that has been launched in gen;rations. A new leadership is on the way that will not recognize merely profits, pomp and circumstances but ilso social responsibilities and the rightful aspirations of humanity.
