f. Howard Carroll, Democratic
Nominee for County Treasurer

One of the best known and most.
highly esteemed candidates that has
appeared before the voters of this
county in recent years is F. Howard
Carroll, of Kennebec hill, Demo-
cratic nominee for County Treasur-
er. People all over the county know
him as man of character and
standing, one well qualified for the
office to which he aspires. He is a
self-made man in every sense of the
word, and knows real meaning OF
the word work What he lacks in
education he has made up for III
bard work and close application.
For the past several years he has
been a valued employe of local
monumental works. He is indus
trious, enterprising, and above all
Honest, and is just the man for tue
position to which he aspires. Should
he be SO fortunate as to be elected
November 8th, it is his intention II
devote his entire time and attention
to the duties of the office of Treas
urer, and see to it personally that
everyone having business at the OIL
flee is treated with due courtesy
and consideration.
Mr.. Carroll has resided in the
county all of his life, being mem
ber of an old Morgan county fam
lily. While he takes more than the
usual interest in public affairs, ne
has never held public Of
fee At the present time he has ths
backing of influential members in
both Republican and Democratic
ranks, who are bending every effort
to land him a winner. He is the
right man for the right office, and
should receive strong support at the
approaching general election. 1t is
indeed credit to the county to find
men of this type aspiring to public
office-especially one SO Important
as that of County Treasurer.

MEN WARN
PAY CUT BACKERS
WaIcott Post Demands Aid
of Congress Members
for Existing Salaries.

Support of existing Government sal
aries by each member of Congress was
demanded today in resolution adopt
ed by Stuart Walcott Post, No. 10,
American Legion, under a warning that
the united action of service organiza-
tions would be solicited in fights to de-
feat those members who support pay
cut legislation.
The resolution was directed particu-
larly against the proposal to reduce sal
aries over $1,000 by IL per cent. 1t
of Columbia employees are not now re-
ceiving salaries "over and above the
amounts justly due: that present
compensation provides only for the
necessities of life, and that reductions
in present pay would be ''un-American
and would destroy confidence"
The resolution added:
THE people have always held this
confidence as more than a mere pledge
that faithful employees of the Govern
ment, who give the years of their lives
to the service of the Government, would
not be cast aside and be betrayed
through the whimsical campaign f1irta-
tions of politicians, whose real purpose
is not so much to effect real economy
in Government expenditures, as to
propagandize this country so as to as
sist big industries in cutting the living
standards of all working people.
Certain well known great industrial
corporations have circulated the coun-
try through their dealers, asking them
to demand the reduction Of Government
wages under gross Misrepresentation of
existing facts and false and misleading
statements of the purpose and end
desired.
ANY present reductions by Congress
of salaries of Federal employees would
constitute an admission by officials
of the Federal Government that an
economic recovery of industry in the
United States is not shortly expected" j."

Brown told the Senate Appropriations

Brown told the Senate Appropriations
Committee:
Like any other public utility, the
department should perform for its pa
irons whatever service they require and
are willing to pay for. 1t should not
exact from them more than the cost of
its operations, conducted in accordance
with sound business practices, and it
should not impose a burden upon the
general Treasury by charging less than
the cost of its operations.
IF the necessities of the Treasury so
require, the Government may, with
propriety, levy an excise tax on postal
operations. just as upon the business Of
any other public utility. But the reve-
nue. derived therefrom should not be
covered into the general Treasury at
the expense of the service to postal pa
irons, who buy the service and pay the
tax I can think Of no justification for
increasing postage rates and at the
same time curtailing service to the
public"

in which the postal cut will be felt,

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
LAW DECLARED DEAD
Now Applicable to All Things Col
lectively, Economist Says-Raps
Trade Assassins."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 0.-Franklyn Hobbs.
business analyst and statistician, last
night told the Lake Michigan Electric
Club that the law of supply and de-
mand, as understood by most persons,
no longer works.
They taught me in school," Hobbs
said, that the supply of single COM
modify measured against the demand
for it fixed the price of that commodity.
That law will not work.
In its place, Hobbs recognized a new
economic law, which he phrased as
follows: THE supply of all things
measured against the demand of all
things fixes the price of all things
Having seen a large corn crop sell
at a high price, and a small. wheat
crop sell at low price with little or
no change in demand, as measured by
consumption, am quite sure that the
so-called law Of supply and demand
can not be applied to any one thing
individually, but must be applied to all
things collectively" Hobbs said.
The economist attacked business
assassins" and claimed the groundless
rumors they had placed in circulation
in recent years were partly responsible
for the delay in business recovery.

ANCIENT MAYA CITY
FOUND IN YUCATAN
Carnegie Institution Regards
Archaeological Discovery
Highly important.

Discovery of the ruins of a great
Maya city, apparently an important
religious center of the old empire,
was announced today by the Carnegie
Institution of Washington.
Abandoned and buried in the con-
quering jungle for more than a thou
sand years, the existence of this
metropolis of ancient America was not
suspected until this Winter, when some
OF its standing monuments were dis
covered by c. L. Lundell, an American
botanist employed by a chickle COM
pany.
Expedition Sent Out.
When Lunden came out of the jungle
with the report of his discovery a
Carnegie Institution expedition was at
once organized under leadership of DR..
SylvanuS G. Morley, in charge of the
excavations at Chitchen Itza, another
great city of the old empire. Morley,
with five companions, set out two
weeks ago and have just gotten into
communication with the Carnegie
headquarters in Yucatan. What they
found was pronounced by DR.. A. V.
Kidder, head of the Carnegie's di-
vision of historical research, one of the
most important discoveries ever made
in American archaeology.
Inc luu Ol bllC
ed ruins remains unknown and probably
could not be determined except by
years of digging. Morley and his COM
panions located 100 stellae with sculp-
tured figures and heiroglyphs. These
stellae are stone pillars, which served
as astronomical markers and were in
timately connected with the Maya reli-
gious system. Since they are dated
with the curious Maya numerical sys-
tenn, which DR.. Morley had deciphered,
they are of special value in fixing his
torical dates. Morley found that 81
could decipher.
City Is Large One.
Morley sent word to the Carnegie
headquarters that the city was OF "enor-
NOUS size" with great many ruined
temples and palaces. Some of the stel-
lac, he said, were of great artistic merit.
The city has been named tentatively
"Calakmul," name suggested by Lun-
dell. This name is a combination OF
Maya words which means, roughly,
''the two adjacent hills" and is de-
scriptive of the site. Ca" means
''two," "lak" means together" and
"mul" means hills"
The site is located in the southeast
ern corner of the province of Cam
paohe, on the Yucatan peninsula. The
location shows that the city was one
of the old empire towns, perhaps the
larges' of all. These we're abandoned
for some unknown reason and new
Maya empire, with practically as high
q civilization, established to the north
ward.
