 President Elect

MARION, O., Jan. 1.-President. elect Harding is keeping eight steno- graphers busy on correspondence to find out what the nation is thinking about.
 Telegrams and letters pour in on him every day by the hundreds

 Some of the best ideas the presi- dent-elect has received have come from voluntary correspondents.
 Lately farmers have predominated as Ietter-writers. The slump in prices of farm products has alarmed them. They are trying to interest the incom- ing administration in remedial legis- lation.
 Practically all of Harding's waking hours, except those devoted to con- ferences with best minds,' meals and exercising, are spent with his secretaries and stenographers.
 The president-elect frequently works on correspondence until mid night.

SCHOOL BOARD : |S PRAISED bY
 BUSINESS MEN

l Recommendation for the considera. tion of the school board were pre-.
 sented to that body yesterday by a
 committee of the Business Mems As sociation, appointed as the result of
 a meeting of the association on De cember 27, at which certain criticisms of the conduct of the school board 1 by local contractors and business
 men, were presented and GIscussed. 1 In general the report comments highly the work of the school board. and expresses appreciation of the great sacrifice of time which the members of the board have made in the interests of the community, and 1t also offers few suggestions. The first of these IS that in the future all work for the school board should be conducted on the American or open shop plan, and that this should be rigidly adhered to.
 The second resolution states. That the action of the school board in con ducting the repairs to the high school building, the Franklin school build ing and the Tin Town school build ing. on days pay rather than by con- tract, owing to the conditions arising from the war; is hereby heartily ap- proved by this committed"
 The third resolution recommends. That the board should assure them selves that in the letting of contracts all those likely to be interested in submitting bids be fully advised of the opportunity, and supplied with the requisite information. Copies of all correspondence relative to such bids should be on file in the office of the board. and open at all times to in- spection by the taxpayers of the dis. trict.
 The committee also recommends that in the future the board shall publish in the local press quarterly statements of all expenditures for new construction work during the quarter.
 In conclusion the committee takes the opportunity to thank the board for the frank and hearty cooperation we have received at their hands in the conduct of this investigation, and to eXpres our appreciation of the great sacrifice of time which the members of the board have made in the interests of the community"
