EXECUTIVE SALARIES
(Hartford Times)

. 4 s Economy. like charity. begins at home. Charged by law with carry ing out great policy of federal pay reductions. MT Hoover has cut his own stipend 20 per cent and that of his cabinet officers 15 per cent, the latter rate being the max imum under the proviaiens or the economy bill. The constitution pre- vents congress from reducing q presidents salary while he is In oifice. He can, however, cut his own pay. George Washinston set q lOO per cent example in that respect. For public services he would accept no remuneration.
 MT Hoover will now receive $e0,- 900 a year; the vice-presIdent and cabinet members each $lz,600.
 Until the administration of Pres -txlent Grant, the salary of "a United States president had been fixed at e26,000. In his second term the salary was doubled. II was raised to sit, 1000 4n 1908. In 1907 congfens appropriated 92b,000 for the pres idont's travoiinE expennea. The ap- pfopriation had booii re.enncted annually eiIloes that time, but was made to cover entsrtaInment ex- psnses as well as the costs sf trh- vel.

Interpreter Needed

It. is being stated quite authoritatively now in high republican circles that Presi- dent Hoover will shortly endorse in toto the republican platform adopted at the recent national convention. However, he will not .amplify this statement by an interpretation E of his stand on the so-oalled wet plank that republican master-minds inserted after fran tic efforts to smooth down the feelings of both vets and drys. We should hope that President Hoover wouldn't try to interpret the wet plank That is rather hopeless task as most republican legislators have found.
 z The majority of them are merely satls- flying their constituents by maintaining 1t IS fortnight stand upon moot question. But there are others like Snator Bingham of New Haven and Representative Ned Goss of this city who have stated that they could not accept the republican prohibition plank. but would draw up their own, or else adopt the democratic stand for repeal and re- turn of control to the several states We don't think that President Hoover can interpret the prohibition stand of the republican party, as expressed at Chicago last month any Detler than the IePuDhednS WHO Ha'e tried to do it already.
 Everybody is about agreed that the less said about it. the better off the party will be. We are inclined to believe that the president will be canny enough to view the matter in this light and let well enough alone. All of which explodes all those the ories heard SO frequently this spring that Mir Hoover was about to declare that his noble experiment had proved impractical and should be shelved. If the day ever comes. that he docs suggest that very thing. we don't expect to find him in the presidency when the utteranee is made. As long as the dry ranks of the nation feel that MT Hoover isn't committed to the policy ot repeating the 18th Amendment they will support him. And to date he hasn't indi. eated that he is in favor of any such action. regardless of growing sentiment in g.o.p. ranks for showdown on the matter.
 It will be possible for President Hoover to declare that he viii stand behind the re. publican platform and yet not discard those tsnsts to which he has eIuns 90 tsnaeiousIy Ia hs more ihsn three years in the White Houss Hs can't osiraeizs himself by that attitude. save among those fspubliesns who srs convinced that the nation will remain in ihs dcIdfums e long e is sontinus io

 Washihgton.--You can get rid of congress for awhile, but there are congressional investigations in progress all the year around. The congressional Investigation is one of our most valuable institutions, which is one reason why 1t is so badly abused.
 ANcouple of dozen of them either are about to begin or are still in progress. Some of the holdovers seem to have been little more than mere excuses for junkets, but the present congress has been very cau- tious about that sort of thing and between caution and campaign work there won't be much of 1t this summer.
 One is that about to be con- ducted into the loans of the Re- construction Finance Corporation by committee of five senators headed by Senator James Couzens of Michigan. The R. F.. c. has been instructed to submit full in- formation about all its loans. "Bail Out Bankers"
 The R. F. c. Investigation, how ever, is not expected to be either elaborate or sensational.
 The senate didn't even appro- priate any money for expenses. What has been biting the upper house particularly has been the re- cent reported loan of $80,000, ,000 to Charles c. Dawes Central Re- public Bank & Trust Company of Chicago, and the Missouri Pacific railroad loan, of which $7,000, ,000, according to a member of the In- terstate Commerce commission, was used to "bail out the bankers"
 The House, free from admins tration control and in the hands of the democrats, has been. getting in a few investigatory licks of its own. It will work with the senate in joint inquiry into the pro- cedure of the income tax division, fulfilling a longtime hope of both Couzens and Speaker John N. Gar ner, who have persistently charged irregularities in the treasury,s of tax refunds and other matters.
 TWO SuIupulSH ITOucS
 Each branch will have it's own committee investigating campaign expenditures, with most fireworks, if any, provided by the senate group headed by R. B. Howell of Nebraska. The senators have $25.- 900 with which to investigate, the representative only $10.000. No large slush funds are likely to he uncovered, as in some former years.
 The senate Investigation of the federal farm board has begun at la,@t. with McNary of Oregon and Norris of Nebraska in charge The committee in charge of that. which will give, special attention to marketing operations and the question how the board may best be utilized if continued, expects to make a report in December when congress meets again.
 Inquiry into the stock market. which brought some sensational revelations of rigging" three or four months ago, has largely been completed and Chairman Norbeck of the senate committee on bank ing and currency is now trying, to get any relevant evidence he can from the treasury, the Internal Revenue Bureau and the Federal Trade commission. This commit tee also expects to proposed rem edial legislation, at the next session.

The last link between the modern craze for Currier 6 Ives prints and the days when they were turned out as fast as the workers could produce them ended Wednesday with the death of Louis Maurer. He was 100 years old and the last of those who worked for Currer and Ives in their heyday. He was born in Germany. but came to the United States in 1850 and worked for Currier 6 Ives at SIP week. His eontri- buttons were the famous series - Life of Fireman and the many beautiful trotting horses, of which the reproduction of the horse, Lexington, was the most famous.

"A sMILE's THE THINc.-

Good evening. WHYi Where can l find satisfaction, k For the things which possess; And why do they often seem to be Articles of emptiness. Why don't I value my worthy home,
 A treasure beyond compare. Why do I long to travel and find, New sights euricsities rare. Why can't learn to be grateful, : For the use of my capable
 hands, Why at times do they function
 only. When someone their idleness
 reprimands. Why do I wish for the winter. When summers beauty arrives. And why do I long for the
 springtime When the colorful autumn leaf
 dies. Is there a well of ease and content, A path undivided, of bliss, When will l cease to wonder, And think there's so much l
 miss.

 By the same token you are going to meet exotic people in the re- mainder of the cast-strangers who have stepped into your midst, and who make you wonder if you have met them before. In these you will see characters virtually lifted from the covers of the playright's script, each compensating with some tit bit or morsel which fits snugly into where it was intended.
 One could not compile a cred ltable post-rresentation criticism without revealing the names of lone steinauer and Delbert Hayes. But just to intrigue, tease and Whet your appetite for the prom lsed surprise, only the characters of the remaining cast will be revealed.
 This will enable you to sustain the illusion that you are viewing artists relying upon their interpre- tatlve genius rather than personal acquaintance to recommend them.
 They are: Mrs. Hamilton: Dou- glaS, her son, an author; Tom. her younger son (Delbert Hayes); Bish- op Wade, her brother; Peggy, his small daughter; Janet Harden. a Splnster; Angela Stone, a debu- tante; Simpson, the butler; Norah, the housekeeper, and The Outcast,
 The staging will be under special scenery created to support the theme in all it's relations.
 The play has progressed with rythmic click under the direction of Mrs. Paul McMullen, who has been an exacting critic in dove talling each character into the gripping plot, calculated to sus- tain the element of mystery to the end
 In this latter you will revel in the same rapt anticipation which ac- companied your first toddle in your bare feet across to the mantlepiece to rifle a Christmas stocking.

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

When President Hoover was asked as mining en- gnee the possibilities of Soviet Russia in point of min eral, he repied
 There is more mineral in the state of Montana"
 And yet Montana has been mined since the early seventies.
 It was believed for time that lontanas mining re- sources centered first in the Alder Gulch and finally in Butte the great copper camp.
 For many years the Alaska Treadwe was consider ed all that the Territory had to offer in gold Then came the kondlke and the successive placer finds which swung attention away from lode mining to the more easily ex tracted placers.
 But it remained for Frederick Worthen Bradley as- slted by his brother Philip and H. L. Metger engineers and general superintendent respectively to bring in the "onoer mme the A!ask2 Juneau. Kennecot overshadow ca anything known In the copper world magic mne

RARE TREAT PROMISED IN THE: 0UTCAsT" DUE
 DECEMBER SIXTEENTH

When the curtain of the Liberty
 Theatre lifts on the evening of De-
 cember 16, those who, like one
 nursing a jaded appetite, and sud- denly finds palatable dish set
 before him, will meet something
 worthy of, gorging.
 It is on this evening that The Little Theatre Club will present "The Outcast."
 Wait moment. This title con- jures up something suggestive of the morbid-calculated to wiring the heart-strings and stress the emotions.
 But hold judgment in suspension. For that is what "The Outcast" will do while alternating between at tuning the sensibilities like a deli cate musical instrument productive of shaded, dulcet tones, and dart ing, keen shafts of scintillating hu- nor, so harmoniously blended as to exact the full modicum of pleas ure.
 To reveal the denoeuments of the multi-plots - and they are many-would be to rob you of the zest of surprise. Let it assume the similarity of banquet, with each choice viand conjuring up costa cies as it is laid before the guests, and tickling the palate for that to follow.
 Those who have been viewing rehearsals with critical eye, and rom purely detached and un- emotional position, have left with conviction that this will be some thing more than mere entertain ment.
 Those who heed this warning and are present Friday evening, De- cember 16, will witness the finished work of budding star. This star is lone Steinauer.
 It is not difficult to set aside re- alities and picture her as stepping from the legitimate stage, unac- companied by that charitable loy- atty accorded local talent. In fact one is completely lost to this when they find themselves detached from this influence and follows her work while, like Penelope. plying her nimble fingers, she alternately created and unraveled the fabric to the delight of her audience.
 Coming like the spice of the pud- ding is Delbert Hayes, who might be plucked from any legitimate cast, tossed upon the stage and finds himself reveling in role suited to his taste and tempera ment.
 You are going to love these two and follow them as loyal compatri- 1
