Opposition Lacking
In Leadership

them, this session is likely to go down
in history as many the most acquies-
cent to gubernatOrial wishes on rec
ord. And all the time it isn't really
that supine. It's just headless.
Take the anti-diversion question,
for example, it is hordly debatable
that there is at least twice as much
sentiment against the Hoey program
of taking $7,OOO,OOO from the high
way funds as hls been shown in
recorded votes. With by far a major
ity of the press openly hostile to the
governor, and with sentiment of the
people so obviously against any grab
bing of road funds, it wls a matter
of surprise that the antis mustered
at most no more than four votes in
the Senate Finance Committee, nnd
went down 62 to 38 on the only rec
ord House poll.
Yet, even the most casual question
ing of members taken at random
convinces that sentiment, if crystal
lized and correctly shown, is at east
evenly divided-the antis would get
no worse than that.
What has been lacking is leader
ship of the inspirational, fighting
type. A Ralph Mcdonald or even
the Con Johnston of two years ago
could beat diversion in the House
this session and beat it with votes
to spare, in the opinion of a great
many observers.
On other questions the same lack
of any cohesive plan of action or
any leadership worthy of the name
has been just as apparent
There was, for instance, the bill to
except Unemployment Compensation
Commission employees from taking
merit examinations.
1t doesn't take two minutes investi-
cation to show that there was much
real, honest opposition to the meas

Inefficiency In the Unemployment

this opposition found itself without
any rallying point. On passage in the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

S. w.: "I know that the only per-
manent way to remove superfuous
hair is by electrolysis but since I
live in small town where there are
no specialists, wonder if it is harm
full to use depilatories even though
it is necessary to apply them over
and over again"
Answer: Most depilatories are en-
tirely harmless. The best temporary
method Of removing superfluous
hair, however, is by a razor. This
does not make the hair grow in any
coarser than an ordinary depilatory.
