Same Old CatchWOrd
BuJ. T. Williams, T.

Estates have forfeited to the Fed
eral Government so much Of their
authority is because they have
failed within the State to main
tain authority commensurate with
their responsibility. They have
allowed local units of administra-
ton to retain delegations Of au.
thority from the State long after
these should have been restored
to the State In order to meet its
responsibilities.
Take the State of Alabama, for
example. It is one of the most
backward in the administration Of
its own affairs. Its political
spoilsmen have refused to permit
the reorganization of State and
local government. And yet in the
face Of this refusal millions upon
millions of dollars of Federal
money-which is the peoples
money-have poured into Alabama
to pay the salaries and finance
the reckless expenditures of the
army of State and county Off
Gals who have succeeded in block
ing the reorganization of Ala
bama'S antiQuated system of gov.
eminent.
Under the system of Federal
expenditures which Congress has
adopted in recent years. ox-cart
government has been financed
and given new life in State after
State. And Alabama is only one
of many States of which this is
true.
ONE OF MANY
It is only one of many States
which have failed to provide funds
sufficient to keep their schools
open. With the result that Fed
eral money-which is the peoples
money-has been pouring into this
group of States to keep open the
public schools in spite of the fact
that under the Constitution the
control and support of public edu-
cation is the responsibility of the
several States.
In providing Federal funds for
public roads the Government at
Washington has long insisted that
the States shall meet certain
standards of construction in order
to get their quota of Federal funds.
The same rule could be required
for all Federal expenditures for
the relief of the States.
If the States were required to
bring their State and local admins
trations up to a certain standard
in order to get Federal relief. Con-
greSs would to that extent have
made economy its watchword.
There are other ways in which
the Congress can enter upon the
road that leads to honest economy
without disrupting the public bust
ness. But in order to follow any
road to real economy, Congress
must first reclaim its authority
and reassume its responsibility as
the appropriating branch. Until
it does this, economy on Capitol
Hill will only be a catchword for
those legislators in both Houses

Republicans were so badly beaten
they don't have a leg to stand on.
Senator H. styles Bridges, the
new Republican Senator from New

by the Roosevelt AIministra-

the other front the President

fiscal policies, which have
brought about a financial crisis
sufficient to challenge the sta
bility and integrity Of the Gov

It amt so, say the Democrats
however, and in N editorial ap
pearing in the current issue OF

They do NOT! To the contrary,

ship, passed away Friday after
noon at one o'clock at his home.
He had attended school Wednes-
day, but he caught cold and on
Thursday morning remained at
home. At first he became hoarse, as
he usually did when he had a cold
and his condition was not consid-
cred serious. However, during the
afternoon Of Thursday his condi-
ton became alarming, and a doctor
was summoned. He gradually grew
worse and all that loving hands
could do was in vain. He was ser
icusly ill for only IL hours. Death
was caused by a heart attack, ag-
gravated by double pneumonia
The entire Little Sank commun-
ity where the family has resided
for seventeen years, was saddened
by the sudden death of this low
able Lad.
Arthur was born in Little Sank
Township July "a, 1923, and had at
tanned the age of Is years, 5 months
and 81 days. He attended the Little
Sank public school, where he was a
willing student, member of the
seventh grade. He was also a will
ing worker about the farm where
he aided his father with the work.
His sudden passing is mourned
by the bereaved parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Conrad Freeberg, and one
brother and five sisters, viz: Ray
mond, Myrtle, Marion, Elda, Floy
and Vera Mae. Myrtle and Marion
are students in the Sank Centre
High School.) Besides the immed-
late family, a host of friends and
his schoolmates sincerely regret his
passing.
The last sad rites, which were
largely attended, were held Mon
day afternoon. A short service was
held at the Sank Centre Funeral
Parlors. At two O'Clock services

Formulative plans for a Court of

Monday evening at a meeting Of
Scoutmasters and Assistant Scout
masters to be held during national
ly observed Anniversary Week be-
ginning February z, and contin-

Tentative plans for the program
Of the Court Of Honor were ar
ranged to include the presentation
Of the troop charter to the newly
organized Troop Is, investiture Of
awards to probably some 80 Ten
derfoot Scouts, and the presenta-
ton Of registration cards to 81
Scouts including 16 Sea Scouts, the
only Sea Scouts in the Central
Minnesota Council. It Is hoped that
arrangements can be made to have
Area Executive J. D. Virgins pre-
sent at this mammonth award dem
onstration.
Observing the Scout law that
deals with religion Anniversary
Sunday Is to be specially observed.
All Scouts are urged to attend their
own churches on that Sunday in a
group led by the assistant Scout
master that affiliates with that
church. Instead of the local troop
assembling in a body and attending
one church, as Is the custom in
many sections, 1t was deemed ad-
visable to let the groups attend
their own churches.
Patrol projects and demonstra-
tiCns will be featured during this
week. Arrangements for a window
display in a downtown store have
been made with a special display in
side to which the public Is invited.
Troop anniversary hikes are sched-
uled for that week, and the troop
will listen to the Scout broadcast,
over a national hookup, on the ev-
ening of February 8.
Definite dates for Court of Hon

be announced later, and the public
