VETERAN STATE
.LAWMAKER DIES

By Times Special
A TTICA, Ind, Aug. 10.-Three
n months illness brought
death today to Joseph G. Clay
pool, 81, twice a member of the
Indiana house of representatives,
with the distinction of having
been both its youngest and oldest
member. He died at his home in
Shawnee township, Fountain
county.
He was the youngest house
member during his first term in
1876, and its Oldest during his
second term, in 1925.
Mr.. Claypool sought reelection
in 1926, but was defeated and re-
tired to private life.
He visited the statehouse several
years ago, after his retirement,
and entertained legislators with
description of the contrast be-
tween legislating in 1877 and
1927.
THEY didn't need sixty days to
Il attend to all the legislation
back in 1877" he commented.
Boards and commissions galore
were unknown. Greater harmony
prevailed in the legislature at that
time and the members thought
more of the welfare of the state
than their own little political
schemes"
Mr.. Claypool was one of a group
which engineered legislation for
building the present statehouse.
He was fond of telling the story
of how a ruse won the necessary
number of votes, after the bill had
failed five times.
One member of the legislature,
Baptist minister, who controlled
six or seven votes, had withstood
every argument and voted against
the new building five times.

Stalnaker was chairman of the
building committee of the Scottish
Rite cathedral from It's inception
until the edifice was completed in
1880.
His death brought to an end a
career, which had been shaped from
the first toward banking and
finance. In all his business associa-
tions banking activities predomi-

Mr.. Crisp's Appointment.

One Of the most curious Of those
political phenomena which. on the sur
face, at least, seem to defy the ordinary
rules of logic and reason, was the un-
seating of Representative Charles r.
Crisp of Georgia by his thirty-flve-year-
old and relatively unknown rival for the
senatorial nomination, Gov. Richard B.
Russell, jr. Gov. Russell has made q
good record as Georgia's chief executive.
But Mr.. Crisp, in his long service in
the House, had become recognized, as
his father, Speaker Crisp, was before
him, as one of the outstanding men,
bers Of Congress, a credit to Georgia
and q fine type Of statesman. The
ranking Democrat Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, he served as
acting chairman in the absence Of
Representative Collier OF Mississippi
through the major part of the fight
over the revenue bill. He fought for
the sales tax, but when that was de-
feated went to work on the substitute
measure with characteristic energy and
ability. He was one Of the logical
candidates for the speakership, in the
event of Mr.. Gamers election to the
vice presidency, but he chose, instead,
to seek q seat in the Senate, to which
his record plainly entitled him.
Enjoying well-earned popularity and
respect, his appointment by President
Hoover to the Democratic vacancy on
the Tariff Commission represents a
happy choice. The country will con-
tinue to receive the benefits OF the work
of distinguished public servant.

From the Butte Montana Standard.
Alaska has reason to be proud OF her
record in public finance. In the storm
and stress of adverse economic condl-
tions this territory remains the one
governmental unit of the United states
which has not dollar of Indebtedness.
Although the rigors of economic ad-
versity have perhaps not manifested
themselves as violently within its BORDERS.
there has been much unemployment IN
Alaska. due principally to curtailed fish
ing operations during 1881 and in a
lesser extent to reduced Federal appro-
priations, which dropped from the pay
rolls many old-timers who for years had
depended upon road work and similar
EMPLOYMENT for the grub-stakes to take
them into the hills for the Winter or to
tide them over in the towns during the
cold weather. The gold camps have
been mere stable Their product Is
relatively more valuable in . period Of
low commodity prices and operations
have tended to increase rather than to
diminish.
Gov. george A. Parks Of the territory
reports that the problem OF feeding the
needy has been approached systemati.,
cally and to date effectively; not, in the
vast ma ajority of instances. by appro-
priations Of tax money. but by concerted
community effort.
"A dire emergency, which Is far from
existing now, must arise" the Cover
nor says, before Alaska will apply to
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton for aid" The Governor does not
want the territory to 60 IN debt. Under
the present status every dollar Of tax
money is used for productive purposes.
Not one cent must be set aside for debt
service That is an enviable status for
any governmental unit and one which
Alaska hopes to maintain.

Education Has
Its Responsibility

From the Oklahoma City Times.
Economy In government is so popular
that any plan of tax reduction Is sure
of a considerable measure OF public
approval. The cost of government has
been increased by wasteful methods, by
unwarranted expansion and legalized
graft until the burden of taxation has
become dificult for many citizens to
bear, particularly since private earnings
have been greatly reduced. Now plans
for reducing the cost OF government
are making appreciable progress. Coun-
ties, municipalities and school boards
in this State have made marked re-
ductions Of budgets, and now the state
is planning a reduction OF sl0,0OO,OoU
in the cost of State government for the
next biennium.
Such a saving will be welcome, II 1t
does not take too much from the es-
sential functions of government. or i'm
pair efficiency without such damage.
It is apparent at the start, however,
that educational institutions are to be
hit hard in the readjustment, and there
is danger of damage where that sort
of retrenchment is undertaken by un-
friendly officials. Education is the States
hope of continued progress. and economy
that hampers its development may be
wasteful far more than economical in
the long run. But it is possible, as
pointed out by Glenn Frank, in a re-
cent article, that educational and social
betterment programs have been ex-
banded beyond our economic resources
to support them. Certainly education
must bear its part of the budget pairing,
and that is fact We might as well
face.
It should be faced cheerfully by
leading educators, on whom the burden
of responsibility for making the read
justment with minimum of loss to the
educational system must rest. How
to achieve as much in the essential and
desirable fields of education with less
money is the problem they must solve.
Possibly that cannot be done, but re-
sourcefulness Of those who try 1t is the
real hope that true progress will not be
halted or greatly hampered because OF
economic conditions. In the past, some
institutions Of higher learning have
done creditable and notable work with
meager capital. Possibilities and rec
ords Of such achievements should be
studied carefully by the heads OF every
educational institution in the State.
There is going to be economy. 1t Is
for the educators to prevent that econ
omy from becoming a calamity.

rom the Newark Evening News.

From the Newark Evening News
Immediate cash payment Of the war
veterans l945 bonus is in politics be-
cause payment or nonpayment has to
be determined by Congress. A compro-
mise school Of politics Is growing up as
there usually does, which counsels
against paying the bonus now, holding
out the hope that when prosperity re-
turns opposition to the payment will
President Hoover's stand Is unmistak-
able. Gov. Roosevelts is not personally
defined, although the Democratic plat
form speaks only for generosity to the
war disabled and makes no mention of
the bonus at ali. Reports from credible
sources have been that Mr.. Roosevelt
would steer toward the middle ground,
opposing the cash payment now, but not
holding out for the full maturity term
Of the certificates.
Any candidate who has no personal
conviction on the payment of the bonus
at this date never will have an opinion
of his own, but will be guided entirely
by the way he thinks the cat will jump.
He Is out for votes, without regard for
principle, camouhaging himself with the
pious declaration that he wishes ito
represent the will of the majority"
That will of the people" though, IS
certainly something that must be ex-
pressed, definitely and unmistakably II
this or any other issue is to be de-
cided.
There is one definite. far-reaching
and consequential way for the average
citizen to express himself, and that is
with his ballot, where he is given a
choice between candidates on opposite
sides OF a vital matter. The candidates
owe it to the dignity Of the office they
seek, as well as to the citizens they
want to represent, to make their con-
victions known or to make convictions.
