MORGAN COUNTY MAN FA-
VORS KNIGHTS CANDIDACY

Raymond Durbin,
Editor Democrat
My dear Mr.. Durbin:- your is-
sue of Thursday, Jan. 10, l read
your editorial under the caption,
Good knight" taken from the Her
aid (Rep.), your city. want to
compliment you for the stand you
have taken in regard to Congress
man Charles L. knight of Akron, as
he is one of the brainiest men of the
country today, and has the courage
of his convictions to speak right
out what he thinks. There is no
question mark after his name. You
always know where to find him.
l might inform the editor of the
Herald, that Mr.. knight is not res
ident of Canton. And Mr.. Knight is
not considered a mugwump by his
staunch Republican constituents in
this part of the state. He is Re-
publican of the first letter, and has
been ever since l have known him
about IS years.
Mr.. Knight in public utterances,
has gone on record in opposition to
government extravaganza and the
multiplication of government activi-
ties and increasing the number of
employees on the government pay
rolls
Mr. knight is a practical and sue
cessful business man who has prac-
ticed for 25 years in economics he
is now preaching.
The state Of Ohio has need of a
man of such independence and
courage to cut out the frills of un-
necessary and costly government en-
terprises and bring down the eXorbi-
tant tax rates and eliminate the
hordes of state gents that are now
meddling and interfering with in
dustry and private business. AS
governor he is the kind of man who
will be credit to the entire state.
! might also add in closing that
the following extract from an edi-
torial that appeared in the Beacon
Journal of December "a, written by
Congressman Knight, who is owner
and publisher, shows his farsighted-
ness of the unemployment situation
that exists throughout the country
today:
1--WE do not expect to convert
anybody by these gentle Christ
mas thoughts of how strange is
Jesus Christ to the world. But
we do make a suggestion which
means dollars and cents and
any 1909 American can al
ways understand that. Quit
cutting wages and quit dis
charging any employe you can
possibly keep. Even if he does
not belong to the house of rep
resentatives and although he
may not be an august senator
in some of the factories that
lately pursued their pyrotech-
mic way astraddle of the career
ing beast of the New Freedom,
in fact even though he does not
ring up 97% on every trial,
dear brother malfactor of per-
haps depleted wealth, leave
him sticking around provided
he will give you the best that is
in him. What you pay him he
will pay somebody else and
that somebody will come back
and do business with us again.
So let's keep it in that brother
hood family we used to talk so
much about and kinder to
stick to each other" until the
clouds roll by. 1t will not do
us much harm here and who
knows but what after all old
ST. Peter may not ring it up on
his cash register over there"
With best wishes for a prosperous
new year, and the nomination and
election of Congressman G. L.
knight as the next governor OF
Ohio, / am
Yours very truly,

Rigorous economies In Govern
ment expenditures. enforced by the
House through it's appropriations
for the present fiscal year. will be
carried over into the next year.
members Of the House Appropria-
tions Committee said today.
With resumption OF business BY
the House in August. the appropria.
tions committee will lay plans for
handling the Government money
bills for the fiscal year 1s2S.24,
which must be passed by Congress
before March 4 next.
Estimates Of needs OF the various
departments OF Government will not
be submitted to the committee by
Der. but General Lord, the new di-
rector, has been in conference with
the committee and will keep in close
touch with Chairman Madden
throughout the work OF preparing
the budget.
1t is planned BY Chairman Mad
den and his committee colleagues
to have appropriation bills ready to
lay before the House as soon as
sessions begin in December and TO
keep the House running on such
measures until all have been sent
along to the Senate. This course
has been decided upon that the
House may have time to consider
bills after they leave the Senate
in order that protests can be made
against increased or new appropria-
tions.
The economies enforced by the
House during the session which
closed June 80 resulted in holding
actual appropriations down to about
s.. SOC. 900 900. The two billion mark
is the aim OF Madden and his as
sociates for I923-24. Cuts are to be
made in the army and navy ap-
propriations, and wherever else
possible. 1t Is held that this course
is necessary to enable the Secretary
Of the Treasury to complete his
work of reducing and refunding the
public debt and in getting II into
shape for handling with least tax
burden on the people.

NEW YORK. July THE squirt
In railroad stocks which featured
the stock market at the opening to-
day soon gave place to a period OF
dullness and irregularity, and while
prices In most OF the active issues
were we'll maintained the very evi-
dent desire to reach for profits had
the natural effect OF scaling down the
prices Of stocks. which. had run con.
siderably ahead of the market. Rail.
road stocks showed an overnight i'm
provemet of from half q point TO o
full point, In some cases selling at
the highest level of the year. The
improved industry outlook, together
with the best car-loading statement
OF the year. was eagerly seized upon
as bullish factors. Subsequent re-
cessions brought Canadian Pacific
down from 143A to l4l. Pennsyl-
vania from a. to 43h: st. Paul pre-
ferred to 431s: New York Central
from 97h TO 96A. The second hour
in the railroad group was much
more inactive than the first period.
The steel and copper stocks ad.
vanced slowly in the trading today.
Steel common moving forward TO
1o0&: Lackawanna to 75&; Gulf
States to S1%; Bethlehem "B" to
76&. and Midvale to 35h. In the
copper stocks Anaconda was active
around 58h; Utah at 65; Smelters at
61&: Chile at 23. and Cerro de Pasco
at 81. The high rate of both domes.
tic and foreign consumption of cop.
per Is reflected in the firm position
Of the copper stocks in the listed
market. Exports are now running
at the rate of about 35 ,o00. 900 pounds
a month.
The Mexican OIL stocks were hard.
ly in the running today. while the
Standard Oils were distinctly strong
and active, Standard Oil Of Cali
fornia. was up four points to 10Y
before noon. Sinclair was the most
prominent Of the independent oils,
advancing one point to 1914 on re-
ports Of unusually heavy export
trade. Tampico dispatches received

secretary OF Commerce Hoover
&lso reports that practically every
Yhdustry of which figures have been
received showed greater activity in
May than In April. Out of AZ pro-
uuctlon movements reported, SO
showed an increase and only four de-
cnned, compared with the month
preceding. Forward orders are in.
creasing and business again repre-
sents the picture of prosperity.
Prices, on the average, have not
fallen below about 40 per cent over
the pre-war level. They are now
nearly so per cent above that level.
NO one, knows at what level prices
finally will become stabilized, but 1t
Is believed that care should be used
In placing large forward orders for
raw materials at prices much above
the present level.
The coal difficulties, which are
now in their fourteenth week, so
far have caused little inconvenience,
but the huge industrial stocks rap
idly are dwindling. II this should
continue much longer, there will be
transportation difficulties which
may prevent a steady flow of coal
TO Industrial establishments, even
after mining is resumed. Labor
ulIIlcultleS on the railroads still fur
ther would complicate this situa.
ton.
On the other hand, fundamental
conditions in this country for the
most part are favorable. The agri-
cultural situation is particularly
good. The construction industry
Is having the biggest boom ever
known and this carries with 1t a
large number of contributory in
dustries. Employment has reached
q point where a scarcity Of men is
reported at some points. The finan-
cial situation is favorable. with
abundance of money available at
low rates of interest. So far, there
ID no evidence that this is being
used for initiation purposes. With
due care in the exercise of busi-
ness judgment, the period .of pros
perity can be extended without the
corresponding excesses so evident
In 1919 and the early part of 1920.
