We decidedly think that business has been divorced from politics.
 This, so far, has been the biggest year in the history of the Nazareth Waist Co.,, and is some of the cheap politicians would go to work, we could use them to good advantage i'll turning out even more goods than We are now, as the help situation seems to be the only limit to business.

TIME IS RIPE
FOR GOOD ROAD
WINTER RAINS MAKE 1T VERY
EVIDENT THAT WORK is BAD
LY NEEDED.

A farmer who drove over the
road leading from Brock to Ardmore
today said that trip through the
county now would convince anyone
of the necessity of better roads.
While the county and townships have
done what they can, yet the perma-
nency of improvements is lacking.
Taking the suggestion from this
farmer, would it not be a good idea
to call the Carter County Good
Roads Association together now and
pma cVt improvement District No.
1 and proceed under the state law
to build some permanent highways
in this county?
The people ought to be allowed to
pass upon the matter and determine
their votes whether they want the
work done or not.

that the constitution gives TO the
house of representatives the power
of initiative, in revenue legislation
and will contend that a presidentially
controlled tariff board practically
amounts to a usurpation.
The house democratic members
have an economy plan of their own
and will insist that the maintenance
of the economy commission is a
waste of time and money. They will
argue that the house expenditure com
mittee for the demands of the gov
ernment can take care of any econ
omies that may be needed if members
of the cabinet fail to discover eXtrav-
agancies of administration.
As far as the presidents travelling
expenses are concerned, the demo.
Gratis feel that the annual appropri-
alton of $4,000 for that purpose is
being used against the democratic
enemy" and they propose to cut it
off for that reason. These proposed
eliminations are certain to provrFe
lively discussion when the suld =
civil bill is reprted.

House Plans Economy.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Democrats OF
the house of representatives plan TO
eliminate from the next sundry civil
appropriation bill the $225,000 appro-
piation for the presidents tariff
board, the $4,000 appropriation for
the economy commission and the $685.
900 appropriation for the presidents
travelling expenses.
Democratic members of the appro-
priations committee are understood
to be unanimously in favor of the pro-
gram and they believe that the cut
ting out of this expenditure of 1925,
900. all of which is under direction
of the president, will meet with the
OF the majority party in the
house.
The sundry civil bill will be ready
for submission TO the house this
month and the democrats plan to de

I. \. Porter, a young man who lives

form near the depot He walked to
the rear of the depot and while there
was knocked down and robbed of his
purse and other valuables. He was
considerably bruised about the face
and head. and vas rendered uncon-
scious from the blows. He recoyerd.
however, in time to enter the train
and come here, and left this morning
for his home at Cleburne, Texas. It
is supposed that the robbery was com
mitted by some one who lives at or
near Mead, and the theory has been
advanced by some that probably the
men who committed the bank robbet
les at Mead also committed this deed.
This matter has been reported to the
officers of this county and they are
at work on the case and it is hoped
that the guilty persons may be brought

THREATEN TAFT'S EXPENSES
Presidents travelling Expense Ac-
count May Be Cut of, Also Quar-

Board.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The dying
year 1871 bequeathed the federal gov
eminent materially increased defic-
it, as compared with the close of
1910. to be wiped out, if possible,
during the remaining half of the cur
rent fiscal year. The general fund.
representing the available resources
of the treasury, showed a big growth,
on the other hand, due to the sale of
5O,0O0,00O in Panama canal bonds
during the year.
While Secretary MacVeash had not
received complete returns when the
treasury closed its doors Saturday, ii
is known that the disbursements eX
ceeded the receipts during the last
six months, exclusive of the Panama
fiscal operations by about $4,000
600, while during the corresponding
period last year the deficit was only
$3,S70.000. The principal causes of
the increased deficit were a falling
off of probably 100000 in customs
receipts and an increase of about
$1,000 900 in the cost of the navy
during the last half year as COM
pared with the same period in 1910.
ApproXimat ely Sl52,00O,000 was re-
cd int 1ttri,, q
the last six months. while at the
close OF December last year this
source of revenue had yielded $l62,-
10000 The navy has cost about
$70,000,000 up to date this year. The
disbursements during the fiscal year
were $63,OOO,OOO.
The month of December made a
particularly poor showing. It's deficit
being $2,000,O00, while the deficit for
November was only $460000. Decem-
ber's receipts amounted to approx
mately $52 100000.
The general fund today amounts to
approximately $l2IOoO,OOO, lnclud!AS
about $7O,O0O,OOO actually in the treas
ury's cash drawer. A year ago the
general fund was $S9,000,0O0 and the
Eorking balance $37000,00O.
he amount of gold Saturday III
possession of the United States, the
greatest gold holding nation of the
world, was approximately $l,1S2,O
600 in coin and bullion, distributed
among the reserve, trust and general
funds of the treasury
The Panama canal has cost up to
date about S26OOOO,OOO. OF this Sl2O,-
100000 has been paid out of the
treasury's general fund, the remain
der representing the proceed from
the sale of bonds. The total cost
of the waterway is estimated at
1915, 100000. During the six months
just closed $1S,00O,O00 was spent on
the ditch, as compared with 100000
900 during the same period last year.
