Hoover's Compliment

My eye having been offended by the new thought about

Secretary of Commerce. Herbert Hoover said that the
American people would stand for advertising over
the air. and therefore that special law limiting plugs
in broadcasts need be passed He about the
presidency it But in another fifty years the
American people may catch with the only compliment
Mr. Hoover paid them.
The old method of advertising the plugdirect. At

Any Old Song
A part of this misguided sentmentaty about beer has
to do with the songs which accompany its drinking When
(and woen drinking together they want to sing
old songs; it is memory much melody that moves
them. That means that people who grew boozy in 1919
wanted to sing songs which already DID, and those

NO SPECIAL LEVlES
PROVIDED FOR POOR
Higgins Outlines Provisions Of
Law Enacted BY Last
Legislature

Under the poor relief law enacted
by the last legislature, all poor re-
lief must be paid by counties from
the poor relief fund provided for by
the act, according to an opinion by
Milton K. Higgins, assistant state at
torney general.
Transfers are to be made from
other funds, If necessary, to care for
emergencies, Higgins ruled, and not
until after transfers have been made
from all other funds available can
the county commissioners borrow
money or make an overdraft exceed
ing total county appropriations.
The levy for the poor relief fund
for the current fiscal year must be
within the limit of eight mills for all
appropriations, Higgins said.
BY the terms OF the law, it Is clear,
he added, that the county may make
a levy in excess Of the eight-mill
limitation for covering the deficit or
overdraft represented by the differ
ence between the amount actually
expended from the poor relief fund
and the amounts appropriated for
such q fund, plus the amount OF
transfers.
Higgins held, however, that no levy
can be made in excess Of eight mills
to cover the amount Of transfers
from other funds to the poor relief.
This law expressly provides, he said,
for transfers to the poor fund.
1T says nothing, however, Of any
repayments Of such transfers" Hig-
gins said, land does not refer to them
as advances or borrowings. No provi-
sion is made for q levy to pay any
deficit except where the total county
appropriations have been exceeded
by the poor relief expenditures"
The opinion, given to c. e. Col
cord, Renville county auditor at Mo-
hall, concludes that "a county there
fore may not appropriate to cover
transfers to the poor fund, but may
make levy not included In the eight
mill limitation to cover any borrow
,ngs for or overdraft in poor relief
fund which exceed total county ap-
oropriationS for the previous year."
