a background Of business and publish
ing with considerable experience in
governmental affairs as well as service
on many committees of national and
international scope. Immediately upon
establishment of residence in Wash

stlntlngly to problems of social well

cies as well as to voluntary pfilan-
tnropic organizations. He organized

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

Swanton was peaceful. From the
weekly letter was the following: An
other of those disgraceful affairs took
place at the postoffice among the po-
litical reformers. Our M. D. and one
of our blacksmiths attempted to prac-
tice on each other, the latter arming
himself with a poker and the doctor
with a large measure and with a great
many uncomfortable explosives they
came together. When the smoke had
cleared away it was found that the
doctor had given the blacksmith dose
over the eye. The revival services in
the U. B. church are to be continued
this week.
A new charter was being prepared
for Oakland to be sent to the State
Legislature for enactment into law.
The bill provided for increasing the
minimum tax rate and power to eX-
tend the towns limits. A bill was also
prepared providing for bonds of $685.
600 to raise fund to pay debts for
improving streets and to purchase an
electric light plant. Another bill pro-
vided for bond issue to raise fund
to construct water works.
A petition was circulated asking
that the State Normal school be locat-
ed in Oakland.
A bill had been introduced in the
General Assembly providing for the
creation of a new election district, to
be known as District No. IS, and to
be composed of parts of Districts !
and 10. Another bill provided for di-
viding Election District No. into two

REGARDING REGISTRATION

Since bringing up the subject last
week Of a registration for citizens of
Oakland before being allowed to vote
in a municipal election, and pointing
out that nothing had been done since
it was discovered last year that law
requiring such registration was al
ready on the statute books but had
never been enforced, it has come to
the attention of The Republican that
the law is not a good one.
From recollections of various people
it seems the late J. C. Renninger was
city attorney in 1924 at the time the
law was passed, and at that time Mr..
Renninger declared the law invalid,
because of inadequacy of its content.
It provided no way to conduct such a
registration, and several other i'm
portant necessities were omitted.
After the question was brought up
last year Mr.. julius G. Renninger, Jr.,
present city attorney, without know
ing that his father had condemned the
bill, also looked it over and said it
was not legal.
1t is evident then that something
is the matter with the law, and, if so,
the next best thing to do is to have
a proper bill prepared, providing for
a registration Of the citizens of Oak
land, and have it presented at the next
session of the legislature. This is the
purpose of the present city council,
it is understood.
Therefore, another city election will
occur with possibilities of many peo-
pie voting who are not entitled to do
so. Only by the extreme watchfulness
of the challengers, will "stufing" of
the ballot box be Eliminated.

CITY ELECTION AHEAD

A city election is not much more
than month away, and several days
prior to that there will be a citizens
meeting to select a list of candidates.
For the past number of years only
a mere handful of people have taken
part in these citizens meetings
where candidates are selected to run
the city's affairs. In spite of this the
town has usually been fortunate in
getting men who are conscientious in
serving. But it may not always be
thus.
To insure candidates of high type
more people must participate. Here
is a chance for the women of town.
There have never been more than
three women at any of these meetings
in the past ten years.
Parents who are interested in the
welfare of youth are needed to take
an active part. Perhaps some day
there will be chance for COM
munity building. The councilmen
should be interested. If not com
munity building, there are other
problems just as important coming up
every week, and competent councilmen
are needed Ito take care of these
affairs.
An active interest before election
will go far in getting the right per-
sons for such responsibilities.

JANUARY'S LICENSES TO
WE'D REACH TOTAL OF 113

With twenty marriage licenses is
sued during the past week ending on
Monday evening, January's total was
brought to 113, the first time on rec
ord that the figure had reached the
100 mark. Taking the past month s
figures as a basis, it was thought
likely that the total for the entire
year would surpass 1928 which were
granted during 1887.
Of the months total, GO of the cou-
pies came from West Virginia, 25 cou-
pies from Pennsylvania and only ten
from Maryland. Other States repre-
scented were Ohio and New York.

TWENTY YEARS AGO
The marriage of Miss Anna Gender
to Lawrence K. Dixon, both of Oak
land, was announced.
People awoke to one of the most
severe storms of the winter, with the
mercury showing II degrees below
zero at seven o'clock. 1t remained be-
low zero most of the day.
Thirty-fve hundred acres of coal
land in District No. 8, south of Sand
i Run, were sold to the Dodson Bitumin-
Gus Coal Corporation, which company
then planned the early development
of the property. The company was al
ready operating mines at Barnum and
Dodson.
Two societies were organized at the
high school to sell Thrift Stamps.
Miss Mary Drake Naylor headed one
group which had sold S4O7 in stamps.
Carlton limbaugh led the other with
sales amounting to S163.
An order of the Federal Fuel Ad-
ministrator stated there would be
nine heatless Mondays throughout the
nation, but this was not to apply to
schools, churches, Libraries, hospitals,
etc. The coal supply in the nation was
low. In Ohio farmers cut down their
orchards and the townspeople their
shade trees to be used as fuel, as it
was impossible to obtain coal. The
value of coal mines in this community
was never more apparent.

by an individual or corporation it
would be called misappropriation of
trust funds, or by an even uglier
name. The whole dizzy scheme is
typical of New Deal finance and its
dangers are obvious. At the moment,
the Treasury is enabled to get away
with it because the fund has Just
started and it is not nearly as big as
it will be. Up to January l, S440,000,-
900 in unemployment insurance taxes
had been collected and spent. 1t is
planned to meet the Treasury notes
given for this amount with new notes
to be issued this summer when the
first notes mature.
###
But the fund grows all the time and
so does the demand for money from
the States, from those entitled to old
age pensions and the multitude of
other benefciaries under the law.
When these demands reach certain
point it is clear the Treasury is not
going to have the cash to meet them
and there is but one way to get it
to-wit, more taxes. The present policy
does three rather shocking things
first, it conceals a large and steady
increase in the national debt due to
the new Government securities issued
but not sold to the public; second, it
makes the imposition of new and
heavier taxes inevitable; third, it ac-
CELEBRATES our tendency toward the
cruder form of initiation, by the unre-
strained and unchecked printing of
money, which, in effect, is what these
new issues of notes amount to.
~##
1t is reasonable to think that if and
when the millions of wage earners
whose weekly pay is being pinched to
go into this Social Security fund
realize that it isn't being held in trust
for them at all and that soon or late
they have got to be taxed all over
again to pay the old-age pensions-it
is reasonable to think that the resent
ment will be very great. The hocus-
pocus in this business has not general
ly permeated yet, but if it ever does
the New Dealers may wish they had
never heard of the subject.

Camilli Headache

The DOlph Camilli-DOn Hurst
swap was fine business for every
body but the Cubs, particularly in
view of the fact that Hurst didn't
last the season out and Camilli be-
came a fence-buster at Philadelphia
and was recently sold to the Brook
lyn Dodgers for $4,000.
The Babe Herman deal added an
other sour note. He came to the
Cubs from Cincinnati for a reported
$4,000 and is now at Jersey City.
Another trade was the one that sent
Infelder Woody English and Pitch
er Roy Henshaw to Brooklyn for
Infelder Linus Frey. Frey, far from
top-notch caliber, was shunted to
Cincinnati this spring. English is
still an able ball player.
But dismissing all this gloom, you
cannot help but regard this latest
deal with optimism. If he does moth
ing else, Dean will draw good
share of his purchase price back in
the treasury via the turnstiles in a
few games.
