sI don't believe in kovernn1eui ownership though I wouldn't heei. tate to resort to 1t when needed. Murray told the United Press. "Ws should try to ala people by iadl, rect methods unless we are goina into state socialism which calls fei direct methods. If we are Solna to let people run their own of. fairs then the government has kot to let them do 1t with what ala t can give"
 President Hoover" suggested.
 "The trouble with him is that he won't give help" Murray re- piled. "TIis $500, 100000 credit plan reminds me of farmer wli1 tied up his mule with a six-incb play on the chain. The mule has strength but he can't use it. The credit plan doesn't give enough slack. I would cut the credit loose and restrict 1t only by the solvency of the borrower.
 "In abnormal times like these some direct aid is necessary. If the government can't do the things that need to be done 1t isn't worth being a government. As for people who stand back and pretend they have no authority when something needs to be done-to hell with them"

 These people in overalls and calico believe in Murray. Women shout "Amen" as he speaks. Men call out, "You said it, Bill" He has all of the soapbox tricks.
 Fear the man who knows one book" he says. The state con stitution is his book and he dem onstrated in closing down the oil wells with the national guard that he knows just what he can do.
 Murray spent his 62nd birthday cam paigning for a group of meas ures being submitted under the initiative law. He took his corre- spondent on part of days 200- mile automobile speaking tour. He was going from a. m. until mid night. We stopped at a country restaurant and he ate his regular luncheon of two four-minute eggs and two glasses of milk.
 When he began to speak at one place, the chairman brought a pitcher of water.
 'I don't use It," he said. You can't keep a windmill going with water" At t he end of his speech he turned the pitcher up and drank half of it's contents at one draught,
 "Never drink cold water while you are speaking" he said later. 'it Is a shock to the delicate vocal cords" =.

He will come as friend or Mooney, not as mayor or New Work. He is an attorney and has appeared in many cases.
 "Mooney will not be brought to San Francisco from San Quentin, Governor Rolph said today. At inc last hearing on the case or Mooney and Warren K. Billings t was decided that there was no legal precedent to allow such a move.
 "It may be possible to hold a hearing in San Quentin, such as the supreme court held at Folsom for Billings. Mooney has not made an application to me as yet TOT pjersonal hearing"

Municipal Economy

muUACAVUA 41SUuVhhhS
 There Is a need for municipal economy, it was stated by Mayor Hayes, as the sources of revenue have been cut off severely. One instance is that the payments made by the state from the tax on bank stocks has dropped from $69,657 In 1930 to $3s,999 in 1881. !.
 That this cut is imperative IS stressed by statement issued by Mayor Hayes. He states that in 1881, the total expenditures of the city for all purposes are $6,400,OOO. Of this sum. $2,112,600 must be set aside for redemption of bonds, pay ment of interest, and other ex- penses. These amounts are fixed obligations, such as lights, tele- phone, cannot be cut lower than $335,000. This leaves the salary item and $303,000 for materials and supplies, the smallest possible figure that can be obtained.
 Thus, the salary item is the only one that can be reduced. The city pays its 1900 employees $3,407,000 save the city $J41,000, equivalent tV SWO LILLE OL tnV buSA 4ONJe
 Asked to Share Burden
 Each employe of the city has been asked to share the burden. It was pointed out by the mayor that this cut is general in all lines of business and industry.
 Each elective official signffied his intention of signing waivers and immediately the entire group affix- ed their signatures to the docu- ments. This group includes Mayor Frank Hayes, City Clerk-elect John Fitzmaurice, Executive Sec retary Thomas P. Kelly, Controller D. J. Leary, Treasurer D. L. Futile. Tax Collector William A. Ennis, City Sheriff William J. Roach, Town Clerk, Dora .Egan, Corpora tion Counsel Charles O'Connor, As- sistant Corporation Counsel Timo- thy S. Sullivan, Assessors Arthur Nelson, Thomas A. Shanahan, Wil- liam Sandland, John H. Crary and Thomas Hallipan. Chief of Police Joseph H. Mclean, Fire Chief Henry Heitman, President of the Board of Alderman Peter Griffin, Tax Attorney George Guilfoile, Registrar of Voters Thomas Dil- lane and Henry O'Connor and their assistants, Michael F. Slavin and Albert O. Taller.
 Police Court officials
 officials of the police court will also be notified of this order and will be asked to volunteer to the reduction of their salaries to place the city in a safe financial status and eliminate the necessity of the increase of taxes.
 The teachers receive one and a half million dollars annually and the balance goes to the city ofh- cials, firemen, policemen, and city yard workers.
 This voluntary "cut," it was ex- plained, applies only to the budget for the coming year. If revenue is increased and resumes its nor nal status, the adjustment will au- tomatically bring their salaries to their regular status.
 The budget will bear no mate- rial changes. The money will be appropriated for the full salaries and will then be turned back into the city treasury under the classi- fication of income.
 Rigid Economy
 Economy of the most rigid type. without this proposed cutting of salaries, will not eliminate the ab- solute need of raising the taxes.

Europe, if enjoyed by any country in Asia, would be regarded as posi- lively luxurious.
 Suppose that we Americans tg- day, instead of thinking and talk ing about distress--except insofar as we can relieve it-suppose we set out resolutely to think of our blessings, especially at this time.
 When the Master said, "It is more blessed to give than to re- ceive," he did not utter paradox. Such a statement is. not to be read with Q smile or aS a counsel of perfection; 1t is Q literal truth. Apart from the actual want and physical distress caused by poverty the most bitter suffering often comes through humiliation. There are many persons of naturally in. dependent mind, who when forced to ask for help, experience acute suffering. Therefore all those who are able to give at this time should make this fact cause for additional thanksgiving.
 Suppose we all look little more cheerful ana see what happens.

 New Haven, Conn, Nov 23-(UP) When we remember that our Pilgrim fathers in the late autumn of 1921 called for a Thanksgiving day and all knelt in prayer to God in grateful appreciation of his mercies during Q year that was at least 1000 times wore than the year ,1930-31, we might in this November initiate a little or their piety and heroic spirit.
 The difference is that most peo. pie take blessings for granted and then mediate constantly on their misfortunes. To-day everybody is thinking of the depression and thus is helping to make 1t worse by continually thinking about 1t and talking about 1t, but in the great days of prosperity very little was said in public or private.

OUTSIDE TEACHERS
APPOINTMENTS HIT
Piney Branch Citizens De-
clare Policy Is "Demoraliz-
ina in the Extreme"

A letter criticizing the appoint
ment of persons outside the District to
be supervisors and teachers in public
schools here was sent to DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of schools, after
being approved at a meeting of the
Piney Branch Citizens Association in
Hamline Methodist Episcopal Church
last night.
The letter replied to letter from
DR.. Ballcu to Edgar B.. Henderson,
president Of the association, defending
the method of appointing teachers and
others in the school system.
Calls Action DemOralizing.
The letter characterized as de
moralizing in the extreme" the appoint
ment of outsiders. as in the case OF
Miss Julia Hahn, supervisor of division 3
of the school system, in view OF teach
ers already in the system having been
qualifying themselves after many
years experience for promotion to
vacant places that may from time to
time occur in the school system"
DR.. Ballou informed the association
that records of appointments from July
l, 1920, to July l, 1928, showed that OF
total of 1l9 appointments l07 were
selected from within the D4SIIlCt OI W.
lumbia, leaving only II from outside.
While stating he did not have COM
plete records on appointments from
July /, 1929 to July /. 1881, he said he
was having the records for this period
compiled, and expressed the belief the
ratio would show about 80 per cent OF
the appointments made from within the
District.
BalIou Defends Policy.
DR. Ballou defended the appointment
OF Miss Hahn, indie Ting that he felt
her qualifications were sufficiently bet
ter in comparison with the records of
those eligible in the Distr'o, for the
position.
He called attention to the policy
adopted by the Bosro of Education to
make appointments from within the
District where a person here has quail
fications equal to those Of an outsider
under consideration for appointment.
This policy. he said has been followed
