Thus Lewis w. Douglas director OF
the budget, emerged as the man re-
lied on to cut out the unwise, unes-
sential and graft-tainted schemes and
to submit for board action only the
worthy projects. Politicians had been
slipping into the lists proposals Tor
construction of post offices, but Sec
rotary Ickes had forbidden their in
elusion and in this was supported Dy
President Roosevelt. Ickes insists
that each project provide maximum
of work, that it perform a necessary
social service, and that it not be a
recurring item belonging properly IN

News Review of Current
Events the World Over
Budget Director Douglas Passing Public Works Prof
ects Industrial Codes More Jobs and Higher Wages;
Prohibition Repeal Wins Again.
By EDWARD W. PACKARD

The hours OF work liked are ~ per
week for the so-called white collar
employees and IS hours for Industrial
workers
The wages proposed are 40 cents
an hour for Industrial workers or
S14 per week, except in cases where
employees in the same class Of work
were paid less than that rate on July
Is, 1929, and then the 1929 rate is
to be applied, but in no case shall
1t be less than 30 cents an hour.
For the white collar workers, the
wage scales are fixed according to
populations of the cities In which they
work. In cities Of more than $4,000
population, the minimum rate is set
at S15 per week; in cities between
100000 and 100000, the rate is $14.5O;
between $500 and 100000 at $14. In
towns Of less than $500 population,
all wages shall be increased by 20
per cent, except that the maximum re.
auired shall not be more than $12 per
week.
If regular industry codes are signed
before or during the five month Pc
Rod, they will supersede the emerg-
ency ones. Employers are given until
September ! to come under the plan,
and If they have not signed at that
date, the President made known that
he will exert the powers he possesses
under the national Industrial recov-
cry act and compel Industries to &C.
cept codes which he will lay down
arbitrarily.
A ADMINISTRATOR JOHNSON, ac-
cording to Washington correspond
ents, is constructing big propaganda
agency on behalf Of the industrial con
troll administration. He has called on
such veterans in the game as Charles
Nicholson, publicity man for the Dem
ocratic national committee; Frank R.
Wilson, Charles f. Horner and others
who were leaders in the Liberty loan
drives; Bruce McNamee, William v.
Lawson, Heber Blankenhorn, and vari-
Gus other skilled publicity men. Pri-
marily, it was indicated, the new or
ganization is intended to win favor
for the proposed master" code men,
toned above.

TAXPAYERS PRIVILEGE

For several years there has been decided agi-
tation for lower taxes The way to arrive at lower
taxes is through decrease in expenditures by
tax-spending bodies During the past few months,
while government agencies have been drawing up
their budgets, much has been heard of this de-
mand to cut expenses.
La order to give the taxpayers opportunity
to supervise the making of budgets, the last leg
islature passed law compelling all school boards
to hold public meetings for the purpose Of re
viewing the budget
From districts which have held these meetings,
reports are received that taxpayers have paid but
little attention to this privilege. At the White
Bluffs meeting only thirteen were present, includ
ing the school board. This apparently shows lack
OF interest, in spite of the many complaints, on the
part Of taxpayers concerning actions of tax-spend
ing bodies. This meeting gave opportunity for
everyone to scrutinize anticipated expenditures.
The credit for cutting expenses and saving pro-
perty owners money belongs wholly to the board
of directors of the school district
@=.
IF the public wishes lower taxes it must show
more interest in such matters.

CONSIDERATION NEEDED

Complaints are quite often heard that the banks
of the river are used as dumping ground for rub
bish and tin cans Not only does this habit make
an unsightly spot of the river BANKS but it is dan
gerous as we'll, since the swimmers quite often
receive cuts from glass and tin.
For a number of years there has been place
south of White Bluffs set aside as dumping
ground While this in itself is not the best of To-
cations it should serve until better one is found
Citizens of the valley should give consideration
to this problem Of disposal of rubbish. If more
suitable place could be obtained the countryside
would not present such an unkempt appearance to
our visitors.
Until some solution to this problem is found,
residents of the valley should use the designated
place rather than cluttering the river banks with
unsightly and dangerous rubbish.

plans called for return to Italy by way
Of Newfoundland, going to either
Ireland or the Azores, depending on
the weather.

by the honors heaped on Balbo.

DO Of New Jersey, chairman Of
the House District Cmomittee, an
nounced today she will introduce
a bill for that purpose in this

The bill would give the District
one Representative and one Sena.

Although the District Commit
tee head dSshe did not expect
action on the bill during the pres

give Congress an opportunity to
study the advantages of such

forward step in giving the people

his assessment of $500 be

FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1888

The Repealists are happy over the
return Of liquor, but there is a fly in
the ointment, that is giving those
who like their dram no little con-
Germ, and that is the high prices de-
manded by the booze dispensers.
1t costs good sum to wet your
whistle, but the liquor sellers do not
believe in depression. They have
the stuff to make you feel wealthy;
at any rate so they claim.
And what an opportunity for the
bootlegger. One of the promises OF
Repeal advocates was that with the
return of legalized rum, the boot
logger would be put out Of business.
But does anybody believe the boot
logger is quitting while LOCALIZED
booze is selling at high prices
It looks like the vets had the
bootlegger problem on their hands
now, instead of the drys having to
contend with them, as they did under
enforcement days.

HOG CHOLERA In STATE
Forty.Five Cases Reported In State
During November

Forty-Five Cases Reported In State
During November
| Although the number of cases
was only about one-half the fourteen
year average for the month, IS cases
of hog cholera were reported in the
State during the month of Novem-
Der, according to report by DR..
Mark Welsh, inspector in charge of
hog cholera work in Maryland. In
at lease Al cases the cause was trac-
ed to feeding infected pork scraps
and could have been prevented, it is
said.
1t is pointed out by DR.. Welsh that
at this time of year, when the sup
ply of pork on the farm is low and it
is too early to kill, considerable pork
from other States, much Of which is
infected, is purchased and the di-
sease is increased through feeding
| scraps of this infected pork to well
| animals.
OF the As cases reported in Mary
land, 43 were primary or nsw CEN
tiers of infection, one was secondary,
or caused by spread of an old case,
and one was of unknown origin.
Thirty-nine of the cases we've found
on premises where hogs are raised
only as a side-line, whereas the re-
i naming six cases were reported on
farms raising and breeding pigs as
business. Four hundred and forty
five hogs were involved and of this
number $50 were sick and los, dead,
at the time the cases were investi-
gated. Many of these animals could
have been saved if reported in time,
DR.. Welsh says.
Fifteen of the % counties of the
State were involved in the cases re-
ported. These were Charles. out
