I lie governor nas not yei ""n announced whether he will comply with this request, but he says he is co-opratinsr with the comraitfee. "It is immaterial to me." said Sen ator Banning, member of the com mittee, "whether any one appears to i testify. We are giving all a chance : to do so.

If the amount is not included the governor says the deficit will be $379,298.97.

W. E. KEENEY. WILSON WOULD KEEP UP FIGHT FOR LOFTY PRINCIPLES; 1 Says Democrats Entrusted With Ee- deeming Nation From Depre dation of Late Years. Pittsburg, Jan. 7. Former Presi dent Wilson, in a telegram read to night at the annual Jackson day din- iner here, declared the democratic par- iy was emruairu wicu tiitr i cucuhj tion of the nation from the degre-, dation of purpose into which it has in recent days been drawn," and would "be glad to take part" in "an aggres sive fieht for the establishment of LaQt!high principles and just action." Sa luting mose assemuieu a.i ine uiimej, Mr. Wilson said in his telegram: "They are to be congratulated on representing the party to which must be entrusted the redemption of the nation from the degradation of purpose into which it has in recent fight for the establishment of high principles and just action will re store the prestige of our nation as nothing else could, and I shall be glad to take part in so distinguished a service." Senator Pat Harrison of Mississip pi and Joseph Tumulty, secretary to Mr. Wilson while the latter was pres ident, discussed the tax problem. Senator Harrison in his address ' attacked the Mellon tax reduction , plan as a "big business" bill designed to aid the wealthy and declared the j democratic party would seek revisions to relieve the poorer tax payers. Mr. Tumulty declared that demo cratic leadership will make the tax , problem less an issue in 1924 by co- i operating in some enactment that will bring reduced taxation. SECRET OF MOTOR CAR SAFETY "I talked to my chauffeur the oth er day about these automobile acci dents," said a Danville business man. "He tells me that the difference be tween safety and carelessness in any ordinary short trip about town is about 30 seconds. On a trip of about 100 miles it might be about 30 min utes. I told him that he is never to take a chance unless I tell him that I am in a hurry and I don't remem ber that I ever told him to hurry and I don't think I ever will." It is not likely that this man will ever be in a serious automobile acci dent. In the first place, his car Is driven by a man hired for that pur pose, and this man drives with the konwledge that the first thing is ab solute safety for his passengers. He is not to take a chance to save time. He never will "run" a railroad cross ing because there he takes a chance. Few persons can afford or desire to employ men to drive their cars. Every man who sits behind the wheel of an automobile should realize that the (safety of the people in the car is his ; responsibility I In driving to work or on short bus- lti thn? s,ftvalu" able that he cannot devote 30 sec- n'iv -3 ii i3 uiutu ucucr iu I start half an hour earlier or to be an hour behind schedule than to take a chance on each of half a dozen rail AN APPRECIATION ror ine many Kina expressions of sympathy In the loss of our beloved LOCAL NEWS Glen Rutledge of the Xehawka En terprise was here today for a few hours looking after some matters of business.
