(County Court Seal) !>0-3 W. J. Hammond, Attorney Federal Credit Structure Cause For Worry Serious thinking members—both Democrats and Republicans, seem to agree that the “economy” talk is not a political issue now. They seem to agree that the federal credit structure is the real cause for worry. They believe now that the two big pieces of legislation for which members are waiting are not half so important today as is the credit situation in our land. The Supreme Court bill and the government reorganization bill may continue to be the major pieces of legislation which will hold Con gress in session until next fall, but the President’s message telling the legislative branch of the gov ernment that it haH its duty to perform on cutting expenditures has suddenly awakened a lot of members who have been indifferent to expenditures of billions of dol lars from the federal treasury. Members are suddenly talking about the outstanding government securities amounting to around 35 billion dollars not even taking into consideration the HOLC, Federal Land Rank and other bonds. They arc worrying over the gold and silver situation. They wonder how long we can continue to buy the gold and silver which foreigners are bringing to us. They know that the World price for gold is $20 an ounce and that we pay the for eigners $35 an ounce for it. They know that the foreigners take our paper money for this gold and that many of them buy our govern ment securities and sell them at big profit and go back home for more gold to sell us. They also know that Russiu has developed new mines and is taking out the gold ore at a price of three dollars a ton. How much gold the foreign ers have in sight, no one knows, hut members know that Uncle Sam has to keep on buying this gold and silver. How long we can continue doing this is problematical. Time and again members on both sides ask what will happen to our hanking structure if government USED CARS I9.1t* Chevrolet Sport Sedan I9.1t* Chevrolet Town Sedan 1935 Chevrolet Town Sedan 1935 Chevrolet Deluxe Coupe 1934 Plymouth Sedan 193.1 Chevrolet Town Sedan 19.12 Chevrolet Coupe 19.11 Chevrolet Coupe 1929 Chevrolet Sedan 1929 Chevrolet Coach 1929 Ford Model A Sedan 1928 Chevrolet Sedan 1928 Chevrolet Coupe 1928 Chevrolet Coach and many others.

They know the Federal Re serve Bank is buying these govern ment bonds and that the govern ment is doing everything possible to hold up the price. But they know that there have been big sales of government bonds and that most banks hold the largest percentage of these bonds. That all of the resources of the government are at work to stabilize the price of gov ernment securities is known and assurances are given by bank ex perts that these securities will not go below par. Byt what is worrying some of these people is that new money will have to he printed and they fear inflation is very close; therefore, much of the worry; therefore, that sudden demand by members of both parties for elimination of useless appropriations. That too, is the reason for so much prediction that when a new tax bill is demanded there will be a demand for the “last hill” tax—meaning a general sales tax. Time and again members in dicate that the tax on lower in comes will he asked for. All of which indicates that no matter how much the government spends, the man in the street or the man with the small income—the ordin ary consumer, will pay the bill. Majority Party Fight Which branch of our government is to blame for gigantic useless ex penditures? It was debated on the floor of the House. Congressman Dies, a Democrat of Texas who brought on himself the enmity of the administration for his resolu tion against sitdown strikes, was tongue-lashing the House for use less expenditures. Suddenly John O’Connor, democrat of New York, who was defeated by the southern bloc for majority leadership, asked the Texan not to blame the legisla tive branch for all of the spending. He called attention to the fact that much of the spending legislation was sent to the legislative branch from the executive branch. Here we have a real fight among the majority party. There are sore spots left from the fight for floor leadership—an echo of the anti lynching bill debate, and also, some suggestion that some members may have spoken out of turn on subjects which may have embarrassed the administration. Big Industries Not Hit There are three gigantic indus tries that .have not yet been touched hard by the federal government. They are the international banking institutions—the motion picture in dustry and the widespread liquor industry. F.xempt Liquor From Drug Bill The Copeland Drug Bill is in committee, and in the “Pure Food” section of that bill, liquor is ex empted. The big guess is that, the gigantic black strap molasses trust may have had something to do in exempting liquor from the pure food section of the proposed legis lation. BRIEFLY STATED Mrs. F. J.

It’s what is removed by Standard Oil’s Propane and Chlorex proc esses. And when it’s out, the oil that’s left is stronger, tougher and longer-lasting. That's why the Iso = Vis “D” which you get from any Standard Oil Dealer keeps your oil level up and your oil costs down. . "f 'it 1°cans/ 300 per quart In bulk, 250 per quart STORM CAUSES DAMAGE Beginning Friday night, April 23rd, and continuing through to the following Monday morning, we experienced a severe storm consisting of rain, sleet and heavy wet snow accompanied by a high velocity wind ranging from 40 to 60 miles per hour. • In the Eastern section of our Division, sleet and wet snow collected on the wires until they were 5 inches in diameter, which represents many tons of weight. This, together with the high wind tore down poles, wires, and cross arms on many miles of line and distribution systems within the towns. Men and materials were rushed to the affected area; however, their progress was hampered by mud, and snow drifts two to eight feet deep. The fact that the storm was preceded by two days of heavy rain created a condition that made the country roads almost impassable. It was necessary to use teams, wagons and tractors for transporta tion purposes. In many cases, it was necessary to use six and eight head of horses on one wagon or to use tractors to help pull a» truck, all of which created a delay and expenditure well up in the thousands of dollars. Fourteen towns in our Division were intermittently without service. Everything was done in order to restore service as soon as possible and we want to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their kind attitude during such an emergency. By reason of an abundant amount of moisture accompanying the storm, we found the farmers and business men highly elated over the prospects of a crop. While we were put to an enormous amount of expense and service interruptions, all of us may be well compensated for the inconvenience and expense by the moisture and prospects which we believe to be the forerunner of a bountiful harvest.
