noon and which was added to by ihe

Talk Of a New Gar ace.
As there is no one selling Ford
cars in Weeping Water, it is rumor
ed that a contract has been entered
into between the Ford Motor com
pany and a certain business man of
Weeping Water for the opening of
a sales and service distribution
agency for the products of the Ford
Motor company of Detroit. We were
not able to run down the rumor,
but it looks like the venture would
be a good one, notwithstanding it
will require a good deal of capital.

Washington. Feb. 9. Demands by
Representative Maas (rep., Minn.)
for the removal or renaming of ost
master Charles J. Moos, St. Paul,
were met today by a postoffice de
partment announcement Moos "ulti
mately" would be reappointed.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Coleman disclosed the intention to re
name Moos in hearings before the
house postoffice committee on the
Maas bill to prohibit postmasters
from continuing in office more than
one year after their terms have ex
pired. Such legislation would force
the removal of Moos, whose term ex
pired in January. 1930.
Delay in the appointment was at
tributed by Coleman to efforts to con
nect Moos with the St. Paul lease
under investigation by the Blaine
committee. He insisted there was
"no basis in fact for these rumors."
and represented Brown as opposed to
renaming Moos wh le he is "under
fire."

HOW often have you heard, "I'll have to change oil early

Now an all-day drive at a 60-mile speed brings no oil worries.
You know that Germ-Processed oil won't thin out at high speeds;
know, too, that it actually reduces motor operating temperatures

Gov. Bryayn
to Appeal to
the People
Intends to Keep Books on Legislators
Who Vote for or Against
His Bills.

Philip Shi&uAh
Governor Bryan intends to keep
books on members of the legislature.
If the members vote for his bills they
will be credited with voting to save
money for the state. If they vote
against them he will mark them down
as opposed to saving taxes.
The governor announced Monday
that he promised people during the
campaign to oppose taxes and to save
taxes. His party platform pledges
members of the legislature not to in
crease taxes.
In addition to keeping books cm
the legislate Governor Bryan may
go back to tne people and in public
addresses tell the voters of the mat
ters pending before the legislature.
He has requests from the counties of
Adams. Jefferson. Dodge and Cherry
to speak at public meetings.
"I promised to come back and tell
them if things do not go right." said
Governor Bryan. "Later on I may
devote some time to public addresses.
I have delivered a budget mossage to
the legislature expressing changes
desired in the form of the state gov
ernment to save money of taxpayers.
Tax money is now being wasted. I
recommend abolishment of positions
and reduction of costs, payroll and
expenses of departments, whether
payable from fees or taxes. We can
save three-quarters of a million dol
lars in the governor's departments.
We can save $5,000,000 in state in
stitutions. I believe this can be done
without injuring the state service.
"To bring it to the people in tang
ible form I propose to make up a set
of books showing profit and loss.
Those who vote for these measures
will be credited with profit to the
taxpayer in dollars and cents. Those
who vote against the measures will
be placed under the head of loss to
the taxpayers in dollars and cents.
The way to reduce taxes is to re
duce.' When asked who would determine
the amount of profit and loss he said
be had placed the figures in his bud
get and that he is responsible for
the figures.
Governor Bryan pointed out that
he has recommended that the welfare
department be placed under the state
superintendent. He now finds this
was done by a law passed nine days
before the code law. so there is, in
his opinion, a conflict in the two
laws now existing.
Secretary Radke of the governor's
office was absent Monday on account
of illness. His physician has diag
nosed his ailment as grippe and has
advised him to remain in bed a few
days.
