CHICAGO SUBURBS
IN FINANCE MIRE
Pay Roll Quandary Faced as
South Park Board
Announces Cut.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 3.-Chicago and
Cook County had lots of company on
the financial rocks today Several
suburban governments had joined them,
all in the quandary of pay rolls to meet
without monies with which to do it.
The South Park board, controlling
the system of South Side parks, an
nounced a Is per cent reduction of
wages. Its 1900 employees, including
800 policemen, agreed to the tenn
porary" cut rather than to accept the
alternative of a reduction in the num-
Der of employees. This is the first time
the South Park board. which is State
controlled, has indicated the financial
shoe was pinching.
City employees, payless for month,
may have some important news tomor-
row, when the council is to decide
whether to ask the citizens relief COM
mittee for S6,000,000 to meet Police,
Fire and Health Department pay rolls.
Seeks Loan Completion.
Alderman John S. Clark. chairman
OF the city councils finance committee,
Will ask aldermanic sanction for a
meeting between representatives of the
city and of the relief committee, rela-
tive to completion of the loan
The relief committee has insisted
that before it will get money for the
city the administration must give as
surance that the money will go only for
the payment of pressing bills and that
rigid economy be exercised hence
forth. Mayor william Hale Thompson
and his supporters have shown no en-
thusiasm toward the relief committee
offer.
The $6,o0o,oOo Clark pointed out.
would meet pay rolls until February Is.
For the remainder of this month an
additional $4,000 900 is required; from
that time on, until the reassessment Is
completed and tax money begins trick
ling in. $4,0OO,00O a month will be
needed
Only for Pay Rolls.
The figures only meet pay roll de-
mands. There are millions in unpaid
bills, Clark said, causing many mer-
chant creditors to be pretty hard up"
but the alderman added that they
would have Ito wait"
Tax officials have pledged their ear
nest efforts To complete the reassess-
ment, extenG the taxes and have the
bills in the mails by June l.
The suburb of Mount Prospect par
ents have contributed cash TO keep
schools in operation; citizens of Ar
llngton Heights are considering similar
action; in Blue Island, the night
schools have been closed to keep the
day schools going: Flossmoor is Dor
rowing from its water and sewer funds
to meet other expenses; in Homewood,
the teachers are paid up to next
Wednesday, but after that the. school
board knows not where money for the
pay roll is coming from. In other sub
urbs - was the same story. Evanston
Is seeking to borrow 100000 from New
York bankers.

DIVIDEND NOTICE

F. L Ticket Gets K. O.

Last week we published a letter from Edgar |.
Syverud, wherein he declined to accept the nomination
as candidate for County treasurer on the Farmer-La-
Dor ticket. Mr.. Syverud informed US that he was CIV
ing a similar copy to the Producers News, but for some
reason they failed to publish it, altho there would have
been plenty of room where they published propaganda
in favor of Russia, or the would-be platform of the
Farmer-Labor party.
The reason they did not publish that withdraw
al was because it would weaken their ticket tremen-
dously as Mr.. Syverud was their strongest candidate
They must necessarily raise cash to put over their
ticket and this disclosure came like a bolt of lightning,
and since that time scores have said they would have
nothing more to do with the entire ticket as long as
this man withdrew, and also from the fact that the
other strong candidate on that ticket, Martin Homme,
of Outlook, who had been slated for assessor, told his
friends in Plentywood, Raymond and Outlook that he
would not consent to become the candidate of the Far
mer-Labor party or the Producers News.
1t is merely a matter of raising some money for
the local sink hole instead of an actual political move,
as Taylor knows that neither himself or any other cam
didate for any office from u. S. Senator down to JUS
tne of the Peace can expect to win. The fact that
Taylor does not intend to do any campaigning except
in Sheridan county, which will be principally for the
balance of the ticket, indicates he does not hope or ex-
pect to carry one precinct i'm the State of Montana.
Their ticket is blasted before it ever was created.
The Farmer-Labor ticket headed by such parties as
Bob Larsen and Charlie Taylor is top heavy to begin
with, and the foundation is erected upon the illusions
of communism and socialism which may sound fine in
theory but does not work out in actual practice and
is merely q gravel pit, and when it is all simmered
down it will be found that the entire political insti-
tuition is merely the sink hole that is about to be fore
closed on in the near future to freeze out the stock
holders and all the creditors.

proved II.
That these outlaws knew it was necessary to
clean house as soon as the new officers took possession
of their office was plain here in Sheridan county. Up
To the last day that the former administration fun
ctioned, there were several wide open gambling dens
and "speak-easies" and the following morning all of
this gambling paraphenalia had disappeared as if by
magic; the blind piggers who had operated without fear
of molestation had in most instances cleaned up their
places and the bar tenders were out Of work.
The same condition applies today, and we now
have less outlawry in an average month than occurred
daily during the red regime. Most of these scofflaws
have sought greener pastures, but we still have some of
them in our midst, like wild oats that spring up after
a field has been summerfallowed thoroughly and should
be cleaned Of all noxious weeds, and it is this element,
backed by it's spokesman, that are continually interior
ing with the enforcement of the laws.
Every known stumbling block is placed in the
path of these law enforcement officers. Evidence is hard
to obtain, and whenever a raid or an investigation is
about to be made, there are stool pigeons Of the I'M
derworld who are shrewd enough to make A~eood guess
and warn the offenders to be prepared. Many Of these
alarms are given when the stool pigeons guess wrong,
but even tho they miss out four out of five times,
they manage to keep the law violators fairly we'll in
formed.
1t is such conditions as these which makes the
enforcement of the laws so hard to meet. However; at
this time there is the best of cooperation between the
federal and county authorities, and not like it was in
the previous administration. Federal officials have
told us many times that until Hans Madsen became
Sheriff and Grant Blackwell took Office as county at
torney, it was absolutely useless for them to attempt to
make a raid here in cooperation with the county off,
Gals, as the law violators were tipped off in advance,
and the only man they dared to notify in Plentywood
was Policeman Oscar Collins, who has always been will
ling and ready to work with the Federal authorities.
He also stands ready to help the county officials, and
with three enforcement bodies functioning perfectly, our
territory is a far better and cleaner place in which to
live.
We must re-elect Sheriff Madsen and County at
torney Blackwell.
They have held Office only part Of one term so
far, and the amount of good which has been achieved
during that time will continue to increase in the next
term, and knowing these officers to be honest and fear
less officers We know that before this time two years
hence, they will be looked upon as two officers who
must continue to be retained in Office.
1--WE want to clean out the scofflaws from Sher-
idan County, and with the cooperation of the hundreds
and thousands of law abiding citizens, who are con-
tinuously increasing in numbers flocking to the side of
the present administration, we know there can only be
one outcome: a better Sheridan county.

Foul Weeds

Grant Blackwell found mighty tough work ahead
of him when he entered upon his duties at County at
torney Of Sheridan county. The Office had gone to
weeds just like one of our poorly farmed tracts of
land, and in such instances it takes a lot of summer
fallow and extra tilling to bring it back to standard.
Just so with the Office of the County attorney.
The same condition applied in the Sheriff's Of
flee. Outlawry was permitted to thrive without any
apparent interference fnom the officers. and it is GEN
orally rumored that the former officers not only failed
to stop this outlawry but actually sanctioned and ap-

March's Closing Mood.

Whatever the next few days may pro-
duce in the way of bad weather in this
region, ii is a fair assumption that
Winter is over and that further suffering
will not be caused by any climatic rigors
this season. Washington has evidently
escaped from the worst phase of storm
that has just swept across country, in
more northerly range, and has caused
distress and travel blockades, particu-
larly in the neighborhood of Chicago.
In that city one of the worst experiences
of the Winter has been had, with a
very heavy fall Of snow, a bitterly low
temperature and some fatalities.
March is VIGOROUSLY a tickle month.
1t is behaving" quite in character this
year. There have been very cold days
and very warm days during the past
four weeks There have been buds and
leaves and ice. The clustering winds
that are the particular mark of the
month have roared and torn through
this section, like an organ prelude to
Spring. Now. just as the cherry bios
SONS are bursting open around the
Tidal Basin, in Potomac Park, comes
this bareback of Winter.
Almost regularly every year there is
fear lest the cherry trees may blossom
too soon, only to be blighted by frost.
Once in awhile this happens, but not
often. 1t would seem as though Nature,
after all, is a fairly eficient diSci-
plinarian. The present cold snap has
not brought freezing temperatures, and
with the passing of the low of to
the Northeast the chances are altogether
that the thermometer will steadily rise
and thus bring about the annual trans
formation scene at the Capital for
which a great multitude always waits
with eagerness.

Florida continues to feel toward Mr..
Capone in an inhospitable mood. He
declares that while Florida as a play
ground is In the nature Of things more
liberal than other States. it will not be
q haven for the crooks and criminals
or the headquarters for gangsters and
gunner. So it is indicated that If the
writ of injunction now temporarily
issued is not made permanent upon
a hearing the governor may order Mr..
Capone's eviction. If the unwelcome
guest is in a defiant mood the country
may witness an interesting spectacle
of beleaguerment and conflict for the
purpose of putting one individual out
side the state boundaries. And all this
because in the past Mr. Capone has been
highly successful promoter of the
industry known as racketeering in Chi
cago, in the prosecution of which he has
been his own legislature, his own police
force, his own court and his own ex-
ecutioner. Otherwise he is perfectly all
right.

Florida's Unwelcome Guest.

Alphonse Capone, who recently COM
pleted ten-month sojourn at a Penn
sylvania rest cure, or social sanitarium,
after brief visit to Chicago Is on
his way TO his island home in Florida,
where, it is announced, he will spend
the remainder Of the Spring in further
tecuperation from the strain of busi-
ness cares. But there Is some question
about hospitality that makes the situa-
ton of Mr. Capone rather uncomfort-
able. A few days ago, while Mr.. Capone
was being told by certain authorities in
Chicago that his presence in that city
was not altogether agreeable. the Gov
ernor of Florida, IN anticipation OF the
southwark move. gave orders that he
should be arrested upon crossing the
line of the State. Thereupon the bust
ness representatives Of Mr.. Capone-
who has an extensive organization
invoked the law, asking for an injunc-
ton against such rude conduct. Tho
court granted a temporary injunction
thereby assuring Mr.. Capone free en-
trance into the State and permitting
him upon arrival to proceed to his
stronghold, which, runaor says is pre-
pared for siege. But the Governor o.

Chairman Jouett Shouse of the

mayor of Kansas City. a Republican,
has been in Office for two consecutive
terms and Mr.. Hoover carried Kansas
City by 10000 votes and sent Re-
publican to the House in place of a
Democrat. In the election now the
Democratic candidate for mayor won by
$4,000. Mr. ShouSe insists that the
Kansas City election, which might not
be so important if taken by itself, is
but a link In chain which shows a
decided trend toward the Democratic
party Other links in this chain, he says,
are the election of Democrat to the
House in the old Gillett district in Mas
