the Federal debt.
Rush Holt, West Virginia Senator in
Washington has sent out letter to
his constituents in our neighboring
state with interesting information
about the serious problem of finding
the right secretary in the Office of the
Secretary of Commerce. He found the
following listed, and by way of furth-
err information learned just what the
various salaries were:
Secretary of Commerce $4,000;
under secretary, $4,000; assistant
secretary, $4,000; two special assist
ant secretaries, $4,000 each; admins.
trative assistant, $4,000; assistant to
the secretary, $4,000; two special as
sistant secretaries, $500 each; two
assistants to the secretaries, $1,000
each; two assistants to the secretary,
$4,000 each; an assistant to admins
trative assistant, $4,000; two assist
ants to the secretary, $4,000 each; a
secretary to the assistant secretary,
$500; secretary to assistant to the
secretary, So, 100; secretary to admin
istrative assistant, $3,100; secretary
to under secretary, $4,000; confiden-
tial assistant to assistant secretary,
$4,000.
One might also call four individuals
in the Secretary's own office who are
listed as experts" at $4,000, $500
and $4,000. There are still nine other
individuals listed as experts whose
salaries are listed at $4,000, $4,000,
$4,000, $4,000, and $1,000. 1t would
be possible to call the director of per-
sonnet ($7,500) the assistant to the
director of personnel ($4,600) or the
secretary to the director of personnel
($2,300). These and 1856 more are in
the Secretary's own office. If one
were to check the other personnel in
the department he would find more
than $500 persons in the different
offices, bureaus, and divisions of this
department.
1t isn't any wonder that Roosevelt
and his New Deal have spent Is bill
lion more than they have taken in and
doubled the national debt, when this
one office is just one small item in
his federal machine.
IF thawing continues for a couple
of days the curbs will again be in

Since the curbs disappeared under
the snow the autos have been slowly

There isn't anything about a car
that can cause the same feeling in a
person as hearing the jingle of sleigh
bells and seeing sleigh and horses.
About the only time we get that

Although no expert on horses, I'd
add that he has pretty team.
