Series of Party Affairs
Fatal to Republic

With the defalcation of Richard V.
6ipe, county cuerk, and the appoint
ment of George V. Coffin as his sue
cessor, coming at time when ].
Herbert Hartman, the party choice
for city judge, is fighting for his lib
erty in Criminal Court, the cup OF
grief Of the Marion County Repub-
licans is filed to overlooking.
Among many Of the leaders Of the
party the affairs of the last few days are
regarded as the beginning Of the end of
Republican control OF Marion County and
among these it is conceded that unless
the Republicans can retain this county
they are doomed TO a defeat In the State
uext fall
Sipe's defalcation and his frank admIs-
sionS that the trust funds in his hands
went to political friends who. like him
self, are a part OF the Republican ma
chine, was a severe blow to the bosses.
But the appointment Of George V.
Coffin as Sipe's successor is regarded
as even more fatal to the chances of
continued Republican success.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The waves
Of economy now rolling high in Congress
have more nearly forced the American.
Navy to haul down its flag than storm
waves or a real enemy ever did.
Something closely akin to panic ex
listed in high naval quarters over the
cutting and slashing to which naval
appr0pria tons are being subjected at
the hands Of economy bent Congressman.
So perturbed is the Navy that Presi
dent Harding again has been appealed
to and asked to lay a restraining hand
on the congressional surgeons.
Continuation OF this cut-and- slash
policy. Secretary DENLY informed the
President, threatens to put the ships Of
the Navy into their nearest pOAs, there
to remain until Congress geISz&4 rer its
economy spree" and apr Ez..s,M funds
to permit operation. W1&a
Orders actually have been ReXare 20

officials, but they will not issued
until there is some clarifcation of the
existing situation.

BILL FUCKERS WIFE is
A REAL GARDENER

A few days ago, "Bill" Rucker, Dem
ocratic candidate for county treasurer
invited the Democrat man to go down
and see his (?) garden. We went,
and 10 and behold we saw real one
all right. Tomatoes with every ounce
of weight the vines would carry, cab
bages larger than the ones shipped in,
beans and things in great quantity. 1t
was a great showing, but Bill gave it
away during the visit that it was his
wife's garden and then we under
stood why everything was SO good.
We hate to give it away on Bill after
he brought US couple of fine heads
of cabbage, but we're figuring that
when Mrs. Rucker reads this she may
send down some of those fine toma-
toes and as we. have already eaten the
cabbage he can't da anything about
it anyway.

ADOPTED more liberal policy in the
matter OF bank credits in general and
provided additional funds for farm
credits in particular.
This record shows the Republ;can
and Democratic parties occupvinp on
posite positions on subjects of interest
to agriculture. The Democratic nartv
favors the foreign producer in the en-.
actment OF tariff laws-the Republican
party favors the American producer
ne Democratic party limited the price
the farmer could get for his product
the Republican party helps him get
higher price by aiding him to export
his surplus. The Democratic party
precipitated deflation on the farmer
the Republican party has tried to save
the farmer from some of the losses
of deflaton
That is the record written in black
and white on the pages of recent his
tory, yet the Democratic campaigners
would try to make the farmer believe
that he is the victim of Republican
administration. They do not know the
farmer"

April, 1921, the ratio of supply to de-
mand was 1888 per cent, and in 1920
it was 68.8 per cent Relatively, farm
wage labor has offered its services in
greater degree since 1920 than farm
ers have been willing or economically
able to employ and pay the current
wage rates.
Yet there is evidence this spring that
employer and employee are getting
nearer together, the department points
out. The supply of farm labor has
now substantially reached its normal
proportions, whereas, in 1920 it was
hardly three-fourths OF normal sup
ply. On the other hand, farmers have
increased their demand for labor from
S7.5 per cent of normal demand in
1921 to 1913 per cent in 1922. A dim
inishing farm wage rate has presum-
ably made possible this movement of
demand for labor.

6 SAxS FASHION

NEW YORY, April 20-The pretti-
est of the pretty spring frocks are
those which lift the years by fves and
tens from the wearer. Plated, flow
ing skirts, frilled threats, extreme
simplicity are the characteristics of
these dresses which the season has pro-
duced within the past week
One is a demure garment of navy
crepe-de-chine. Box plaits four inches
wide, which go all the way round the
skirt, are stitched to almost hip length,
thus stimulating smoothly fitting
yoke.
The blouse, with long, tight sleeves,
fastens in front over bit of vesting.
The quaint touch is established by
wide double collar and double FLAIR
ing reveres of muslin, edged with a
narrow scallop of shadow embroidery.
The reveres cross in front with the
| right one caught far to the left side
and ending in flaring frill below the
satin girdle. Similar fri1ls are at
tached to the under side of the sleeves
from hens to elbow.
A strange little frock of an alto-

CONGRESS WILL
CONTROL RADIO
LEGISLATION Proposed To
Be Introduced in the
House.

WASHINGTON-As chairman Of
the legal committee of Secretary Her.
bert Hoover's radio conference, Con-
wyressman White has taken full re-
sponsibility to launch legislation in the
house to control radio. Senator Kel-
logg, of Minnesota also member OF
that legal committee, expects to pilot
the bill when it reaches the upper
chamber.
1--WE propose to change the exist
ing law as little as possible" Mr.
White said. But we do want to make
sure that the secretary of commerce
has ample power so that he may
classify radiophone broad-casting sta
tons, assign bands of wavelengths,
and, generally speaking, eliminate in
preference of stations of the same
class of service, in so far as it is pos
sible.
Then, too, we want to include
these two provisions:
THAT the granting of licenses is
within the discreation of the secretary
of commerce, and that tits not manda-
tory upon him to issue license up
on anybody's application.
"And second, that the power of re-
vocation is to be assured the secre-
tary to eliminate such stations as may
be duplicating given service or in
other ways unduly interfering.
"We hope that the bill, when pass
ed will include a provision that no
, individual or corporation shall get the
<ested right in any wavelength assign
ed to that particular class of individual
or corporation"
During Hoover's radiophone confer
ence the proposition of re-allocating
broadcasting stations to relieve the
congestion now existing around New
York, Chicago and San Francisco was
advanced. This proposition, Mr.
White said, would not be disposed OF
in the new bill, because of constantly
increasing developments in the art.
