Mr.. Bob Cat. Now with you 1t

While he was getting it for you

Don't say thatw mewed the old

NO SLASHES WANTED

IT ALWAYS matters greatly whose OK
l is gored.
Sweeping recommendations for econ
omy have been numerous in the state
legislature, the same as they have been
in congress and in county and municipal
political divisions
Members of the legislature may be
willing to cut the salaries of officials
and state employees, but they have no de-
sire that such reduction shall apply to
them.
The assembly committee on constitu-
tional amendments made short work OF
proposed amendment to reduce legisla-
tors salaries from $1,000 to $1,000 an
nually. The proposed amendment, spon-
sored by Assemblyman Ford Chatters of
Lindsay, newspaperman incidentally,
was voted down in committee. Then a
motion to send the bill out with recon-
mendation that it do pass, met a like
fate, only four committeeman, including
Chatters, voting favorably.
Perhaps the services of the legislators
are worth every cent they are paid. Per-
haps they are not. A basis for determin-
alton is difficult to reach. If the guam
tity of bills introduced at each session
is to be taken as criterion of the legis-
lators' worth, then they are grossly un-
derpaid. On the other hand, if quality
is TO be the measuring stick, they are col
lecting more than they should.

WOODEN N|CKELS
WORTH So EACH
Tenino, Wash, swamped
With Requests for "Scrip"
Used in Cash Crisis.

By the Associated Press.
TENINO, Washington, January g.
Tenino wishes it had issued some
wooden .nickels. They now would be
worth SO cents each Collectors are
paying $3.50 for the towns wooden 25-
cent pieces.
C. S. Argo, president of the Chamber
OF Commerce, and Don H Major, tr1ls-
zee, said today they were swamped
with requests for samples of the wooden
scrip, issued by the chamber to fore
stall Tenino'S financial COLLAPSE when
the only bank failed
Financial Crisis Bridged.
When Tenino went back on the gold
standard, after redemption recently of
the largest Of the monthly issues of
''croSScut currency" it found the wood
en- money had attracted real United
States money into the town-so much
tnat Tenino is getting along very nicely
in a financial way.
Nobody seems to want to redeem the
spruce "spondulicks" as the issues be-
come due. Out of approximately $1,000
Issued since December, 1881, only $45
was presented for redemption OF the
approximately $500 due for redemp-
tion December 80 alone, the chamber
only had to redeem S35, and as the
DaAaAOo was NOlueQ, Uflere was prOf1t
OF more than $500.
With this profit the chamber bought
the building fixtures Of the defunct
Citizens Bank, and is now ready to
install a branch bank as soon as the
Legislature will permit.

Since the wooden money was issued

RUSSIA REDUCES
AUTO PRODUCTION
Plant at "Gorki," Nations
Largest, Yields $500 Trucks
Out of 10000.
By Gable to The Star.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., January 6
(C.DN).-Russias greatest automobile
plant, at Cork" formerly Mini Nov
gorod. produced 1900 Ford trucks dur
ing its first year in operation, as COM
pared with scheduled output of 30
600, Izvestia, official Moscow organ, re-
veals today
Its schedule for 1888, originally 14O.-
600, has been reduced to 10000.
This plant was one of the most care
fully planned giants Of the first FIVE
year plan, the Russians having signed a
$4,000, 900 contract with the Ford Co.
in the United States for patents and
technical assistance. Its failure to
swing into quantity production on time
mas been one Of the great disappoint-
ments Of the "Piatiletka" and has
thrown a wrench into the Soviet plans
for the production of motor cars.
Things have frightened somewhat
last month with the production of the
first passenger cars and an increase in
the number Of units produced to about
1,500 monthly.
The typical Piatiletka bugbears, bu-
reaucracy, acknowledgement and care
lessness on the part of the workers and
an insufficient supply of raw materials
are blamed for the bad record of the
last year.

should be interesting to study the
effect. 20 be sure, a man always
could make himself bet in Florida
and it did not take much ingenuity
to rustic up a Snifter, but neverthe-
less Cuba always provided certain
amount of opposition which ap-
pealed to the spendthrift trade.
"A T various intervals, and from
- time to time, Florida has been
the most wide open state a the
union, the degree of wide-openness
being regulated, as in all such in
stances, by the tolerance, the busi-
ness acunen and the scruples of the
politicians under whose discrim-
mating auspices the county sheriffs
operated.
Though betting is now a state law
AMI liquor a federal law, I doubt
that there ever will be as much bet
ting and drinking in Florida as back
in the pious days when it was prac-
tically a felony to do either under
certain circumstances, and espec-
tally if the sheriff happened to be
a very intolerant person.

its application, the tolerance and
intolerance of various sheriffs,
seeming in some cases to be as
variable as the winds that came
in from the gulf stream, presented
a fascinating study that was both
bewildering and astonishing to the
legalistic mind.
