ABSENTEE OFFICIALDoM

Two days before the New Year
Senator Ashurst, democrat of Ari-
xona, visited the white house to as
certain II the president had taken
action on the bill presented to him
for approval several days before, CIV
ing to the owners Of mining claims
six months additional in which to do
work on their properties. Mr.. Ash
urst said that unless the measure was
signed before the end of the year
thousands OF individuals would lose
their claims, involving a loss Of mil
lions Of dollars.
Mr.. Tumulty, the presidents secre-
tary, was taking an afternoon off
when the senator arrived at the
white house. The assistant secre-
tary was out of the city, and there
was no one who could put Mr.. Ash
urst in communication with the pres
ident. Mrs. Wilson was also inacces-
sible, but she sent word that Mr..
Tumulty must be seen about the mat
ter. After a wait Of hours, that gen.
tleman returned to his desk, but de-
clared that nothing could be done
about the bill until 1t had been pass
cd upon by Secretary Of the Inter-
for Payne who was at that moment
disporting himself at the popular
winter resort at Pinehurst, North
Carolina. Mr.. Tumulty promised to
try to get Mr.. Payne by long dis
tance telephone. and Mr.. Ashurst left
the white house convinced that
longer wait would avail nothing.
In less than so days the country
will have release from the irrespon-
sible executive government now in
charge Of affairs at Washington. With
millions OF dollars and the hopes of
thousands OF individuals hanging
on presidents signature we find him
incapacitated in his chamber. while
his advisors disport themselves far
from the cares Of government. Pres
ident-elect Harding is filled with a
realization of his duty to the people
who elected him, and the men he will
select to head the executive depart
ments will be chosen with a regard
for their sense Of public responsible
ity. The next administration will be
solely in the interests Of the peo-
pie.

PLANS FOR COUNTY
 SCHOOL DISCUSSED.
Residents Offer to Bear Part of Expense of Addi-
 tionS to Schools

Plans are being made by the resi- dents in the vicinity of the Corner school to erect a four-roomg addition to the present building. This an ncuncement was made yesterday by Dr. N. R. Baker, county superinten- dent of education, following q confer ence of committee from the county board of education with the citizens.
 They asked that tn ecounty pay small portion of the cost of the buili- ing and they will pay the balance. It is estimated that the four-room addi- tion being contemplated will cost sio,- 900.
 The Corner school is nine miles from Warrior, which Is the nearest railroad. The new building will be used for vo- caticnal training it is stated and will give pupils at this school the same opportunities they would receive in the larger county schools
 A visit was also made to the Mountain Home school and the resi- dents in this section proposed to erect a two-room addition to the grammar school there. This will be a four room school when the addition is completed. TLey also asked the county board Of education to pay a small portion of the cost of construction and the resi- dents in that section will pay the re- mainder. Both matters will be sub mitted to the county board of cduca- ton at its next meeting when some action will be taken.
