When there are five or seven. each
one thinks there viii be enough whe-
Their he is there or not. Therefore
there is lack of interest and atten-
ton. in regard to the work to be
done
"As regards the financial part, it
IS so little an increase that no one
need object. and it will attract the !
kind OF man that is needed and in
every way be q great benefit.
Better To Have Only Three
ut is strange but true thing. in
almost all cases there will be two
minds working in the same direction,
therefore three people will cause but
two views of subject and all ques-
tions can be decided and settled at
once; where there are seven it causes
a triangle of thought and that means
a long discussion and argument and
delay, consequently nothing is accom-
rl;shed.
ut is better to haye a thing done,
/ eycn il done wrongly. then the peo-
| pie have 4 chance of having il put
right. But where work is carried on
with discussion, nothing is accom-
plished.

the people of the United States to
get together and find way TO re-
duce the size of Congress. We have
an investigating Congress, that never
investigates, but sits and bickers with
each other while the country goes

adage too many cooks spoil the

Mrs. White Elves Her Views
Mrs. Clarence NJ. White. president
OF the Women's Democratic Fedora
ton of this county, in opposing the
: three commissioner law and the mea-
sure creating the Seventh Election
District, gave her views as follows:
Having been requested by your
paper to give my opinion OF the ref
e,cndum petitions which are TO be
voted upon in the November election
will endeavor TO do so in as few
words as possible
Taking the first bill with refer.
ence TO the three county commission.
ers as opposed to the bill now in use
which calls for seven commissioners
one from each election district am
decidedly opposed to for the same rea-
son as oppose Triumvirate as versus
, Democracy. Three men chosen 81
random all over the county could not
possibly know the needs of the var
icus districts. as the man chosen from
each district by the people of his dis.
trlct could have the knowledge.
another reason is the risk that
two if not three of these commission
l ers could come from one section OF
, the county where the vote is highly
r centralized Gas for example, Anna
) polls city, as the bill does not pro.
vide against such an emergency. II
such would happen, where would be
/ the fair representation of the rest
Of the country?
. Says Larger Salary No Help
"Thc claim by the advocates Of this
bin is to the effect that the raise in
salary $4,000 per annum as versus
5000 would attract men to the posi-
. tion who would and conld give moro
time to their duties to be about the
colnty's business as it were, and al
so save the county $1,000 a year from

man or woman, married or single
who is trying to keep even with the
game OF life today knows just how
Gar $1,000 year goes toward live.

No man could accept the position

year any more than no could at $500

would have to take up his time and
his mind as in the present situation.
