New Harding
Cabinet Takes Oath


fer of administrativeau thority from
Democratic to Republican hands was
completed today with the swearing in
of the members of President Hard
ing's Cabinet.
The ceremonies took place in the
various executive departments in the
presence of retiring members Of the
Wilson Cabinet, bureau chiefs and
invited guests. Charles Evans
Hughes, secretary of state, was the
first to be sworn in, and Will H.
Hays, postmaster general, was the
last.
John w. Weeks took the oath as
secretary Of war in the presence of a
gathering of unprecedented size
and distinction.
Sec. Weeks has appointed as his
secretary, John w. Martyr of Wash
ington. and as assistant, Miss Char
lotte Preston, both of whom were
attached to his office during Sen
ator Weeks term in the upper house
of Congress. They are familiar with
his methods and in the years they
served him in the Senate office build
ing they held his confidence and es-
TEEN.
In response to Fluctuations of ex-Sec.
Alexander, Herbert Hoover. after he
had been sworn in, said he felt a great
responsibility in taking over the work
of the department of commerce be-
cause it had come to have a tradition
OF it's own.
'It is department of service and
has established high place in the
minds of the people," he said. 1T is
not department with regulatory pow
ers, but is solely a service to the ma
ton.
"In the traditions you have built up
this department is one that promises
more to the American people than any
other in the government. 1t is purely
constructive. If get the same loyalty
of the force that has characterized it's
work heretofore it will indeed be
great success"
Appointments of the assistants to
two of the cabinet officers were an
nounced during the day. l.. D. Ball of
Iowa was renamed assistant secretary
of agriculture, and Edward J.. Henning
assistant secretary of labor.
Announcement also was made that
Maj. Gen. March would continue tenn
porarily as chief of staff of the army
and that Asst. Sec. Williams of the
war department would be continued
for the present in that capacity.
Sec. DENLY, after a conference with
the President, announced that Maj.
Gen. LeJeune would continue as COM
mandant of the Marine Corps, and
that the rank of Major General would
be recommended for the former COM
mandant, George Barnett, who revert
ed to his regular rank of Brigadier
General when he was elieved last
summer of command of the corps.
AS is the custom when there is a
change Of administration, the chief
assistants in the various departments
whose terms of Office expired with the
Wilson administration have rendered
their designations, but many of them
will be continued in Office for a time.
Besides the numerous appointments
to be made to other departments. the
new administration also is to recon-
mend to Congress promotion for a
plumber of Army officers. Sec. Weeks
desires to study carefully the list Of
such promotions which failed of con-
firmation by the last Senate before If
is resubmitted He said TODAY he
would investigate the record of each
officer.

INCOME TAXES

Over 100000 persons in this
country pay taxes on incomes D of
$4,000 to 100000. AS the drop is
to So, 400 for those with incomes be-
tween 100000 and $150,OO0, it is not
hard to guess that pretty much all
the 100000 class snug fairly well
down to the $4,000 line in making
up their account to the Government.
But those who make returns of
$4,000 and under number millions,
while those of the 5000, 900 income and
upwards class are about 1000 or
under.
These figures point the moral of
the politics of income taxes and sur
taxes, if not the science of taxation
and its right relation to economics, .
comments the Washington Herald.

AFTER FIRE BLIGHT

MADISON, Wis.-Under the aus
pices of the State Department OF
Agriculture meeting was held this
week at the orchard of the Weston
Orchard Company near Hatchville in
Dunn County which marks the begin
ming of an intensive campaign in
Dunn County. for the control of the
destructive apple pest known as
"Fire Blight" This is an old or
chard disease but of late years it
has become especially threatening in
this locality and if its ravages are
not checked great damage is likely
to result. The campaign is pratt
cularly opportune at this time be-
cause of the impetus that it being
given apple culture through tardy
recognition Of the many favorable adj
vantages of this section for orchard
cultivation. Dunn County is lead
Ling the other fruit growing areas of
Wisconsin in this undertaking. s..
The meeting Tuesday was address
ed by DIR. S. B. Fracker, state en-
tomologist, of the state department
of agriculture, and DIR. r. E. Vaug-
han, of the University, who explained
the dangers from this pest, the best
method of control and the losses like
ly to be incurred financially by its
neglect. e. l.. Chambers, field
man working under the state en-
tomologist, will remain in the county

Transcepdent crabs, yellow trans

clared to be the worst centers of
infections in this section. These old
trees would live for years carrying
and spreading the germs just like a
typhoid carrier among human beings.
1t was recommended that they be
destroyed.

DAIRYING IN NORTH DAKOTA
The average layman, thinking of
Wisconsin and New York as the pre-
mier dairying states, no doubt is sur
prised to learn that during June,
July and August one million pounds
|of butter, enough to make up two
average freight trains, were shipped
| from Minot, North Dakota.
Dairying on big scale is proving
mighty profitable in North Dakota
The increase in the dairy industry has
reached figure which is almost be-
| yoRd the grasp Of those who are not
following the industry closely. The
principal factor responsible for the
tremendous development of dairy
| ing has been the educational cam
paign carried on by men WHO have
had the interests of the state at heart
The dairy farmer is fully cognizant
Of the value of mechanical equipment
and almost every farmer has trac-
tor and truck to take care of his
field work and haulage requirements
