Certainly Has Good Effect
The General Motors Corporation
has made a shrewd and commend
able move in pairing some of the
exhcrbitant salaries heretofore
paid many of it's officials, and
while this will somewhat affect the
huge sums collected by the federal
government as taxes, 1t will have q
good effect on the general public
which has long entertained the
theory that salaries running from
quarter to a half million dollars
could not possibly be justified -
even under the New Deal interpre-
tation of "a More Abundant Life"

Adding to the Load
There is some talk Of the govern

Is not clear why anyone should
suggest such move as long as the
budget is already so badly out Of
balance. Blooming Prairie Times.

Spending And Debt

Thoughtful citizens are wondering how long the
present rate of government spending can be contn-
ued without serious impairment of the national
credit All talk, of a balanced budget has prac
tically ceased, although year ago it was pre-
dicted in high places that the national expenditures
would be held within the national income by 1889
Relief expenditures alone for the present fiscal
year. ending June 80 will be 81, 75000OOOO which is
than the entire national debt prior to the World
War The national debt is approaching the 40 billion
dollar mark, or about $500 for every man, woman and
child in the United States. When to this add the
enormous debts of state and local governments with
nearly all being steadily increased, the burden is
staggering.
1t is true that not yet as deeply in debt
capita several other countries but with more
billions being added continually the debt problem is
becoming serious. The funds derived from social
cury taxes being used for current expenditures
and this device has served to slightly the strain
the treasury, although in reality it is increasing
the governments obligations just the same.
The debt situation should not be considered from
a partisan political point of view but problem
to be solved through the cooperation Of all officials
and citizens. 1t is evident that there is something
wrong with policies which permit such situation to
continue and grow worse.

That IVA Jackass

In a recent speech in the Senate attacking the
Tennessee Valley Authority and demanding Con-
gressional investigation of it's wasteful activities
Senator H. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, told
of the famous jackass which he said cost the
IVA $4,000 and was sold for $3.50 after proving I'M
satisfactory.
Bridges said iva committee spent $1,000 for
travel expenses searching for perfect jackass in
Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, finally buying
one near Columbia, Tenn, for $780, thus being out
a total OF $45SO in obtaining the animal. Then said
the Senator:
Came the spring, the season Of daffodils and
young love. Romance bossomed the broad mea-
dows of the Tennessee Valley but TWAS jackass
wasn't interested The experts foregathered, shock
their heads decided to sell the jackass They got
$500 for him from j. B. Waters in Sewer county,
a net loss to IVA of $4280"
Since Senator Bridges made the foregoing state
ment, Mr. Waters told the Associated Press that he
really paid the IVA $3.50 fer the animal, but that 1t
had died several months ago.
1t would be interesting to know whether the loss
on this investment charged to navigation, flood
control, power, or plain jackassery

Elimination OF Townships
From Our Exchanges

We have before this given our
opinion about the plan now on foot
to eliminate the townships of the
state. Those who are sponsoring
the idea make the plea that it will
spell economy. This is of course a
mistaken notion. 1t is only another
angle to the centralizing of power
idea that is being pushed so val
iantly at the present time.

The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1938-03-24

the Minnesota Taxpayers associa-
ton has the following to say about
the matter:
"If townships were eliminated
competition would develop between
townships for county money, just
as there is now competition be-
tween counties for state aids and
in the states for federal aids. This
would likely result in much higher
town costs. Farmers prefer to at
tend to their own town business.
They do not want to be obliged to
search out engineers at a distance
every time they wish to have a
chuck hole filled down the road

FRIED CHICKEN

There are customs too firmly
grounded in immutable laws of nature,
there are traditions too deeply rooted
in cherished associations with the spa
cious past lightly to be cast aside for
customs sprung from the shallow soil
of the frivolous times. Many persons,
therefore, will rejoice that DIR. J. ,.
Bar Zier, leading colored physician OF
New Orleans, has had the courage to
raise the standard of revolt against a
repellant practice now commonly fol-
lowed at public dinners and even at
tables in iconoclastic private homes.
1t is, of course, the practice of serving
half fried chicken on each diners plate
with all the joints intact. To what
end? No butchers cleaver is given to
the unhappy guest so that he may
separate the carcass into its component
parts. To add to his embarrassment,
his undissected portion, with its rub
berized couplings, is half submerged in
thick gravy of the kind properly ap-
pertaining to fried chicken. How, then,
is the person so served to perform the
major operation expected of him, with
the inadequate tools provided, without
showering his nearest fellow diners
with gobs of gravy? Are diners men
or mice? Will they continue patient
ly to endure such studied affronts
merely because these are camoflauged
as displays of hospitality? DIR. Bar
Zier responds with ringing mol"
His cry is, Get Back to the Old
Southern Style!" 1t is rallying cry
raised in holy cause. All patriots
know that true Southern fried chicken,
when served in the orthodox Mary
land style, comes to the table fully
disjointed, each piece coated uniformly
with delicious golden brown crust
that crunches ravishingly between the
teeth. Thus the rapturous party of the
first part is free to choose from a
heaped up platter exactly the piece or
pieces that he prefers.
Your refractory half chicken COM
pe1s you laborously to have commerce
with both white and dark meat, where
as the chances are that you despise one
or the other and that you have pas
sionate longing for second helping of
your favorite part of the fowl. Do
you get it? You do not. You must
continue to eat what is placed before
you or go without.
P. S. This column this week is ded-
icated to Miss Nellie Dodson, who
leaves in few days to become a feat
ure writer with the Afro-American,
one of the largest colored weeklies at
Baltimore, Maryland, where chicken is
plentiful. Well, Nellie, the staff joins
me in wishing you the best of luck
in your new position. Well, Nellie,
remember when you and l and Cecil
E. Newman, now publisher of two
publications of his own, were on the
Herald together? Well, Nellie, / am
the only one left and I'll see you at
the annual Howard-Lincoln classic on
Thanksgiving at Washington, D. c. l
will be covering the game for one of
the Eastern papers. Don't ask which
one. Some of my creditors might hear
the name | hope | haven't given you
away, Nellie.
