CHICAGO. February e.-Chicago's
10000 government employees, who re-
gard pay day as just q pleasant meme
DRY of bygone days, still wondered to-
day what a tax-anticipation warrant
looked like.
Chicago banks will not buy one.
New York banks are hesitant about
it. t.. 4,'a.
The city controller is sanguine
enough Of the market to defer payment
of municipal employees salaries in small
warrants.
But the city's business creditors have
begun to accept payment of accounts
in warrants that can be converted into
cash some time in 1891 and that accu-
mulate per cent interest meanwhile.
A printing firm and an envelope
manufacturer decided today to take
$4,000 in tax warrants in lieu OF cash
payment of work for which the city was
indebted. Other companies had &C
copied warrants for q similar amount
during the last week.
There were few signs Of progress
from the statesmen of the various county
governments who Travelled up and down
Lasalle and Wall streets, hawking the
anticipation warrants H. wallace

cation. did flash back a ray of hope by

So favorable appeared the prospects OF
his selling $4S,725. 444. worth Of tax
scrip to unnamed New York; banking
houses, he said, that he would remain
In the East several more days.
The county commissioners have served
notice that unless help comes from the
Citizens Rescue Committee next week
they must start paying employees in
warrants. The committee held itS
purse strings awaiting the pledge OF
cooperation from every Cook County
governmental body.
There were no chimes heard from the
cash register of City Controller George

derstood. his conferences with Herbert

relative TO the sale Of $27,150,000 city

The Treasury Department yesterday
suggested to Representative Korell, Re-
publican, Of oregon, that geographical
coming system be worked out to meet
his objections to the present method of
contracting for supplies and equipment

buildings.

Korell assailing the contracting system
as unfair to Western manufacturers in
that bids for the supplies were based on
cost plus freight charges to Washing
ton, d. c., Assistant Secretary Heath
recommended coming system and the
making of separate contracts for each
zone: This would be the best means,
he said, of permitting Western firms to
compete successfully with those nearer
to the National Capital.
Korell has contended that the pres
ent system Of bidding virtually amount-
ed, to q subsidy of, Eastern factories.

More Pluck In Pinches
By Jack Steele

That Coach States local varsity
football team could stand immense
improvement and avail itself of
more pluck in the pinches, was
manifested in a series of practices
held this week on the practice field
adjacent to the high school
grounds.
Scrimmages and special ballot
ting drills has become part of
Coach States maneuver this early
current season. The line at pres
ent averages lao. 1t is presum-
ably light. However, if the entire
team can speed up a bit, they
might be able to offset the def
cient poundage.
No one but a football player
knows what support to a team can
do. It adds zeal and punch to the
linemen and elusiveness and grit
to the pigskin packers.
Tomorrow, Sept. 27th, will be
our first home game of the sea-
son at the Fair Grounds. Our
competitor is the Antelope eleven.

Vallejo, California, Sept. To-
Dan Donovan, a member Of the
Machinists Union of San Francis
co, spoke last night before a meet
ing of the Labor Council on what
he saw in the Soviet Union as fol-
lows:
"To give an adequate idea OF the
condition in Russia today, It is
done by comparing the conditions
in the United States today. In the
United States the capitalists rule
and production is for profit. Here
there are millions of idle men and
women. In Russia today the
working class rule and there are
no idle men and women. Every
body is busy. In the main indus
dustries seven hours constitute a
days work, while in the hazardous
occupations, such as mining, SIX
hours constitutes a days work,
with four days work and one days
rest, and two weeks holiday in a
year with full pay. In Russia
production is for use.

SHERIFF MADSEN REFUSED TO VISIT
SCENE OF COMERTOWN STORE ROBBERY

Goods valued at $500 were stol-
en- from the Rostad store at Com
ertown last Friday night when the
place was broken into. The bur
glars entered thru the large win
dow at the. back of the building,
having failed to force the lock on
the side door, which they battered.
Mr.. Rostad's oil house was broken
into and some gasoline stolen.
The thieves emptied two bags of
sugar on the floor of the store
and used the bags to carry away
the loot. Rostad's car would prob
ably be missing also but it was
locked. 1t was literally finger
marked.
The same store was robbed two
years ago but Rodney Salisbury,
who was sheriff at the time. got
busy and recovered a good part of
the loot for the proprietor, arrest
ed the thief and had him sent to
the penitentiary.
The producers news., 1930-09-26

We learn that Sheriff Madsen
was asked to visit the scene Of the
crime but said that he did not see
what he could do about it. No
doubt he was right, but even if the
sheriff is incompetent one would
expect him to make bluff at
rendering some service for his sal
ary.
We learn that Mr.. Madsen made
similar excuse when asked by
Alfred HELM of Westby to run
down some clues for him when his
harnesses were stolen. And of
course when Louis Noes barber
shop was robbed our Economical"
sheriff refused to call up other
county seats and ask the sheriffs
to look out for the robbers.
