ing to a marked degree, is evident
by the report of Mrs. Jean w. Wit
itch, member of the State Budget
Commission, who reports to the gov
ernor that the present biennium
(two-year period of state admin
stration) will close next December 81,
having expended a million dollars less
than the appropriations voted by the
1881 legislature. The amount will
remain as unexpended balance at the
end of the present biennium, accord
ing to Mrs. Witch.
"HOw Savings Were Made.
"The saving has been accomplished
through reduction in budget allow
ances for departmental expenditures
and through the efforts of Governor
Olson and his chiefs in the state de-
partments which he controls. Gov
ernor Olson's order of 'payless va
cations this year resulted in a saw
ing of $325,435 to the state. Out of
the states more than 10000 en-
ployees. 100 of that number cheer

publican newspapers generally tried
to belittle the governors efforts at
economy.
"University Group Sees Handwriting.
Lately the university group, hav-
ing seen the handwriting on the wall,
has come across with a voluntary
salary reduction, to be effective next
fall. Had the university group joined
in with Governor OlsOn's order at the
time the other reductions went into
effect another 100000 would have
been saved, according to Mrs. Wit

Farmer-Labor party is not in COM

state treasurer were elected as Re-
publicans. Their refusal to cooper

savings to the people of Minnesota is
not much of a recommendation for
them in coming back to the voters
of the state next fall to ask for re-
election"
l hope that this article speaks for
itself and will show the way clear to
the reader, all that is necessary at
the present time is so that the masses
of people would work their brains a
little more than their hands and be
prepared for the big job on Nov. 8.

Olson is the man we want as our gov

and the Farmer-LabOr party. They
are for the people and by the people.
The two major parties have been in
office for the last so years and never
have done any good for common peo-
pie or for the welfare of the country.

DEFINITION OF "a. HOME"
Editor ASkOV American:

MY HOME is MY CASTLE. It's
mine, just like thy home is thine.
What's that? Interest! Taxes!
Mortgage! You say. You don't know
how long in your home you may stay.
Same here, my friend, by as long as
they'll let me be, I'll pretend it's my
home and belongs to me.
A home nowadays is a place where
one may spend score of years, more
or less, and what money and energy
one had, trying to make the place
into a home-for so, eventually and
finally, to have to stand aside and see
someone else walk away with, not
only the fruits of our labor, but the

as it might be-; stand aside and say:

3.-Detectives and Federal Of
ficers, were reported checking
reports that an international
airplane-and-ship "dope" SNUG
Cling plot lies behind the
strange killing.
Failure of the eight women or
the seven men composing the
strange crew definitely to identify
Guy as the man they saw on the
ship few minutes before Captain
Wanderwell was slain led inveSti-
gators to turn their attention to
other clues.
Second Man Sought
Guy in jail freely admitted his
dislike for Wanderwell that grew
out of a disagreeable experience
on a trip from Bunos Aires to
Panama, where, Guy said, he,
Mrs. Guy, and another woman
were virtually put on the
beach," stranded, by Captain
Wanderwell. Guy added:
But I didn't kill him."
A second man seen lurking in
the shadows near the Carma's
dock the night of the killing was
sought today. Police learned this
man also had expressed hatred
of Wanderwell.
Guy said he was at the Glen
dale home of Edward Delarm, an
other soldier of fortune, the only
Indian in the world with an
airplane transport pilots license,
at 9 p. m. Monday, the time
Wanderwell was slain. Delarm
said that when he went to bed, at
8 or $50 p. M, Guy was there,
and Mrs. Delarm declared Guy was
there at least as late as 9 p. M,
and was there in the morning
when she and her husband arose.
Hours at Odds
Delarm said:
"When Guy read in the
papers the next morning that
WanderweII had been killed, he
said: 1T served him right"
A third witness, Ralph Dunlap,
aviation mechanic, said that Guy
left the Delarm home about 9
p. m. At least 80 minutes are re-
quired for the fastest automobiles
to travel from Los Angeles to
Long Beach. Members of the
Carma's crew heard the death
bullet" about 9 p. m.

DEBT NOTES
Herriot Reads Draft to Paris
Deputies, Hopes for Revision;
Both Powers to Pay

PARIS, Dec. 8 G.N.S0 Amer
ica's reply to Frances latest note
requesting postponement of the
war debt payment was read to two
committees of the Chamber OF
Deputies today by Premier
Edouard Herriot.
The American note, according
to reliable information, makes no
special mention of the payment
due December IS, but leaves no
doubt that the United States ex-
poets payment Of this installment
from France.
Cancellation Barred
In addition, the note flatly bars
cancellation of the war debts.
The note alludes to the recent
declaration of President Hoover
on the debt question, linking up
the possibility of revision with
commercial advantages as well
as calling attention to gains
which might. be made in an eco

Of ornaments.
Peril Still Hangs
Many deputies believed that
the note left the door open for
some further revision if present
obligations were respected, and
their optimism was not dimin-
ishedS by the fact that the Hoo
yer administration has only a
few months more in office.
1t was still far from certain
that Premier Herriot would obtain
vote of confidence when he
asks the chamber of sanction the
December is payment.
That France will pay Decem-
ber IS, however, was believed
probable, but in any case she
and Great Britain will unite to
obtain revision.

gram. The total appropriations
for the present fiscal year to
these agencies is approximately
$7eO,OOO,O 900.
These orders constitute the
necessary initial action required
in carrying out the policy
which the Congress has pro-
claimed in connection with
reorganization of the executive
branch of the Federal Govern
ment. They undertake to group
certain executive agencies and
activities in logical and orderly
relation to each other as de-
termined by their major func-
tiOnS and purposes, and to vest
in the head of each depart
ment, subject to Executive
approval, the authority and
responsibility to develop and
put into effect the ultimate
details of better organization,
elimination of overlap, duplica-
ton, and unnecessary expendi-
ture. These results can only
be worked out progressively by
the executive officers placed in
charge of the different
divisions.
can example of the value of
such grouping and cOnSOIida-
tiOn is well shown in the in
creased efficiency and admins
trative economies brought about
through the consolidation of
agencies relating to veterans
service and likewise of enforce
ment activities which were
authorized some time ago.
