fgovernor In good many states has
been looked upon as stepping
stone to the senate or to the Presi-
dency. Consequently, unless the
governor who has political ambi-
tons holds his own lines fast his
chances are gone. Since the federal
government has SO much money to
spend in each one Of the states it
become obvious that the governors
look with longing eyes at the cash.
If they control the expenditure they
WELD an enormous power.
Aubrey Williams, assistant emery
ency relief administrator here, let
the cat out of the bag in his speech
to the governors at Biloxi. Few
palmer words could have been
chosen than were used by Mr.. Will
liams in imparting to the govern
crs' conference the information that
Relief Administrator Hopkins and
Works Administrator Ickes were
going to pick their own men in
most, if not all, states. Naturally,
the governors began to wonder what
was left for them When they dis
covered they were holding an emp
ty bag containing no checks which
they can sign, their wrath knew
no bounds.
Other Difficulties
And there are further complica-
tions in the work relief spending
program. Tt will be recalled that
a good many senators and repre-
sentatives did not conceal their an
tagoniSm for Secretary IckeS while
the $5,O00 100000 bill was before
them. Indeed, some of them laid
down in irrevocable position de-
handing that Mr.. Ickes, public
works administrator under the old
order, should have nothing to do
with the new fund, Whereupon the
President soothed their hurts by
saying that he himself would direct
the spending, and his promises are
regarded as having saved the day.
When the new set-up was an
nounced, however, Mr.. Ickes was
found to be part of it. 1t is true
that theoretically his position is of
less consequence than that of Re-
lief Administrator Hopkins and
that he is also subordinate in way
to Frank G. Walker, who was brot
in as new co-ordinating element.
AS the program develops Mr.. Hop
kins appears more and more to be
the big shot. His influence FREEDOM
mates. It must be added, however,
that his policies and those enumer-
ated by Mr.. Ickes are not In ac-
cord.
The divergence of views between
Mr.. Hopkins and Mrs. Ickes was
shown in Illuminating fashion the
other day when these two officials
held press conferences the same
day.
Mr.. Ickes, who believes the adj
ministration never has made real
try at pump printing" by use of
its public works program, argued
the impossibility of conducting real
public works on any substantial

scale under the present Roosevelt
program Of spending. Mr.. Hopkins
on the other hand, discoursed at
length on his favorite theme, the
necessity Of planning projects from
the standpoint of potentials In pro-
viding employment. The Hopkins
policy takes no account of the ques-
ton of performance on the projects.
It contemplates only the factors in
volved in getting immediate work.
Mr.. Ickes takes the position that re-
covery cannot be gained unless pub
lie works projects serve not only
to give jobs but to induce other
lines Of businesses to commence OPP
GRAFTON. Mr.. Hopkins points to pre-
vious experiences in the present adj
ministration with these attempts at
printing the pump and causing re-
lated jobs to prosper while MIR.
Ickes theoretically, at least, holds
that it is better to continue trying
to prime the pump than to give up
the job or use the money in the
Hopkins fashion. While this little
difference of opinion between the
two high ranking officials may not
seem important, the consensus of
opinion is that it had the effect of
slowing up the work of spending
the vast sums of money. Most folks
believe it will take much longer
than year in which to spend the
$5,000,0 100000 anyway, so that any
additional delay puts further back
the ultimate contamination of the
works relief program.
There is another element of this
situation deserving of considera-
ton. It is Mr.. Hopkins who is
picking the Presidents representa-
tives in the various states where the
federal government has taken over
the management of relief expendi-
lures. Mr.. Hopkins is not a poll
tician, has never had experience in
that field and gives every appear
ance of being wholly unconcerned
about political advices. The result
naturally is that Mr.. Roosevelt is
being placed on the spot" in a
number of instances through Mr.
Hopkins appointments.
Republicans Awaking
The sleepy Republicans show
signs of arousing. The administra-
ton has been trying to ignore the
Springfield conference of "Grass
Roots" Republicans and has sue
coed except for Spokesman Far
ley, who, as head of the Democrat
ic national committee and post
master general and political patron
age dispenser, had to shoot back in
his characteristic fashion. Other
than his outburst silent treatment
has been the medicine prescribed
respecting the Republican uprising.
If Mr.. Roosevelt kept his radio
turned on while the Springfield
meeting of Republicans was in ses-
sion, he must have hardened back
to a similar circumstance involving
his predecessor, Herbert Hoover.
Of course, every one knew then that
Mr.. Hoover was too thin-skinned
politically to stand up under such
machine gun fire. Few Of us sus-
pected that Mr.. Roosevelt had the
same characteristic because he had
been under political gun fire much
more than Mr.. Hoover. Notwith-
standing White House silence on the
Springfield meeting, however, the
word leaks out that the President
has been some irked on fundamen-
tails Of the New Deal. It will be re-
membered that for the first time
the Republican opposition singled
out what the opponents believe to

Trouble For Roosevelt

WaSnlnSGOIl-EreS fIOOSSFclC
appears to be facing a considerable
amount of trouble as his plans move
forward for administration of the
SIS, 000, O00,0 900 work-relief fund. The
difficulties confronting the Presi-
dent are of two kinds, each likely
to prove embarrassing. At this writ
ing it is impossible to forecast what
the end will be but the circum-
stances of the situation that has
been brewing some weeks seem to
warrant a recital Of the facts.
It will be remembered that dur
ing the long drawn out congression-
al fight preceding passage of the
SIS, 000, 100000 appropriation there
were numerous open accusations
and many more mumblings under
meath that the fund would be used
by the administration to some ex-
tent at least for political purposes.
Most observers thought at that time
that the accusations were simply
representative of boiling political
pot. It was felt also that opponents
of the President were fomenting
discomfort and defections in his
ranks in order to establish record
for later political campaigning.
Now, however, different aspect
appears. The patronage question
has bobbed up. It is coupled with
complaints in many states against
federal encroachment upon states
rights. So, it is made to appear that
Mr.. Roosevelt is faced with a de-
ternlined element which is battling
against his policies not so much
because he is a New Dealer as be-
cause they believe federal power
has been extended to a new bound
airy and this breeds fear of furth-
Ell subordination and subjugation
of state authorities. The recent
ence at Biloxi, Miss, constitutes
ample proof, it further evidences be
needed, of the uprising out in the
states against encroachment on
state affairs by the Washington adj.
ministration History records nu-
merous instances where heretofore
the Washington government has
sought to extend the scope Of it's
power in one way or another, usual
ly in minor matters. In every in
stance this move has been met by a
solid phalanx of state officials and
state leaders who have promptly
put the federal government back in
its constitutional place. AS far as
research diScloseS, however, the
Biloxi governors conference is the
first instance in which the chief
executives of states have come out
so openly with their declarations
that the federal government had
gone too far.
Political Phase
The other phase of the difficulties
faced by Mr.. Roosevelt links posi-
bly, more directly with the politics
in the situation than does that
which have just discussed. While
the states rights question and the
potentianties of further subor-
dination of state authorities to the
will Of the federal government ties
in directly with the Presidents ex-
pressed desire for constitutional re-
vision, the second factor carries pos
sibilities of important political
OBJECTIONS in the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party.
Again, the governors conference
gives clue. State officials must
maintain their own political organ
izations. Unless they do so they
sink quickly into oblivion. During
the last fifteen years the office of

school day. I mean, common de-.
partments, such departments as
home economics, manual training,
science and commercial, which will
be used by both schools.
The junior high school movement
has gone ahead in the state to the
extent that the state now offers
more financial support than if we
have the grade school set-up thru
the eight grades. The district would
receive S cents more per day per pu-
pill in attendance for the grade
school students in the junior high
school than we would by having
the grade school extend through the
eighth grade. A large majority of
the school districts of our size thru
out the state have adopted the jun
ior high school set-up.
ing Is so crowded that 1t is neces-
sary to move teachers from room
to room through the day, so that
the various size classes will fit the
rooms This leads to inefficient
teaching because a teacher cannot
build up a background of subject
material in particular room and
have it ready for use. The new
building is built to accommodate
$50 students and we would move in
to that building at the beginning
approximately $50 students, so it
would allow room for growth for
sometime to come, and if we ever
grew into crowded condition such
as we have now, the building would
possibly take care of 900 students.
The building is planned as mod
ern building, plain but practical.
Meme of the taxpayers money will
be put into gingerbread decora-
lions. The Washington building will
be eliminated as a school building
when this project is completed.
You are encouraged to acquaint
yourself with the information avail
able, and then on the election day,
which will be July 9Th, you should
cast your ballot either for or
against. The polls will be open
from am. to pm. There will be
ways and means for transporting
each individual to and from the
polls as we want as nearly as pos
sible 100 percent expression from
the voters of this community. This
election may be won or may be lost
by lack of immediate interest on the
part of the voters This being prob
ably our last opportunity for fed
eral help, we should have real ex-
preston by the people, then we will
know how all the people in the
community stand If you have made
an opinion on this matter you
should express it by ballot on July
9Th, as this viii be the last and
only election on a special levy this
year.
Only registered voters are eligible
to vote in this election. The reg
istration books for this election
were closed June Goth, so there can
be no further registration for this
election at this time.
A statement was sent you former
1y in regards to the amount that
it would cost you as an individual.
If you have misplaced this figure
and wish further information In
regard to the cost, we would be glad
to give it to you.

"HE enduring charm OF circular
ruffles is seen to advantage in
this sheer afternoon frock of
cotton voile.
This pattern has the merit
of being makeable in several styles
and in many materials. For i'm
mediate wear in figured print We
suggest the use of the version with
out the cape. The sleeves are modish
in cut and have narrow bands run
ming up the outer arm and into the
neckline, to give the effect of saddle
shoulders. The dressmaker detail of
shirring at the bottom is gracefully
treated and is not hard to make.
Most skirts for sheer frocks are
made with center-front flares, that
are achieved through an extra amount
Of fullness in the cores at the hem
line. Hips retain their slim lines
and are made to look even more
slender than they are through the
bouffant use of ruffles. flared revers
and capeS in the waist.
Summer frocks of the sheer. dressy
type dispense with sleeves by fea-
turing f1uttering capes instead. A
charming example of how becoming
this style can be is seen in the
sketch. The cape ends with a free
edge beneath the circular revers.
Women who are thin and who like
super-feminine fashions may use the
cape, the ruffles and the sleeves II
they choose chiffon, marquisette, i'm
ported voile or net.
