This Writer Submits A Few Figures
And Estimates Based On Facts
Relative To The Costs To Be Paid
By The American People Incurred
By The New Deal Administration


To The Editor of The Republican.
1t is known that the United States
expenditures is $21, O00,000,000 over
its receipts for the past seven years,
during Mr.. Roosevelt's New Deal Ad-
ministration. 1t is pretty hard for the
common or ordinary mind to conceive
that amount of money.
To make it simple l am submitting
a few examples:
Suppose it were all gold. There
would be 30,857 ,143 pounds avoirdu-
pois, or 15,428 tons, filling 308 coal
cars and making train load of gold
nearly two miles long.
Let us suppose some more, and have
it all in ten dollar bills, and paper a
roadway sixteen feet wide 1t would
cover a road 1888 miles long, reach
ing almost to the West Coast. One
running foot requires 154 bills, or
$4,000.
Suppose it were one dollar bills and
a man were to count it, averaging one
per second, working eight hours per
day and 365 days per year. If he
started at the birth of Christ he would
work 236 years, one week, three days,
one hour and Sc seconds after Decem-
Der 81, 1889.
The sad part of it is our money af-
fairs are out of control. Where will the
end be and what are we in for?

reported today that an attempt may be made to adjourn the convention after the new proposals have been submitted to allow the delegates time to study them.
 MaScOlO Chairman
 Judge Edward MaScolo, conven- tion chairman, plans to offer pro- poSal that the various racial groups in the party be given representa- tion on the town committee in pro- portion to their numbers on the Democratic list. This plan seems destined to meet with opposition.
 Another proposal is that the num- Der of town committee members be enlarged. At present there are 32 members. One plan would call for a town committee of GA, with women having equal representation with men. There may be difficulty even as the meeting starts. Judge MaScolo has announced that the gathering will be open to the public, but some delegates were preparing to claim that party rules limit attendance to delegates and reporters.
 To Remain "As Is"
 The feeling seems to have been gaining ground in Democratic cir cleS thatt he best policy may be to allow the present town commit tee to remain "as is" or make only few changes. Leaders are fearful of the result of any attempt at wholesale removals.
 An attempt to avoid any open fights on the floor may be made by having a caucus before hand decide on just what action is to be taken.

MORE CANDIDATES
 FOR APPOINTMENT
Clerkship of Welfare De- partment Is Sought By
 Several Men, Women

The board of public welfare, when it meets April 2, will be confronted with large batch of applications for the post of clerk k-inveStigator. It is presumed that the board will consider these applications as being for the post of assistant Superin- tendent if it is decided to establish such place in the department to replace that of the clerk-investiga- tor.
 Three applications were before the board at its last meeting, but action on the appointment was de- layed. Since that time, more appli- cations have been arriving almost daily.
 The earliest applicants were Ed ward J. Doyle, Wallace 1nglis and George Watson. Later names to en- ter the field were those of Henry Begnal, who was an unsuccessful candidate for welfare Superinten- dent, and James Brickel. former street department employe.
 The name of Miss Marjorie Far ley, of the welfare department stan has since been mentioned in con- nection with the appointment. Sew eral other names have been heard, amog thm those of Mrs. Mary Doyle Camp. Miss aNncy Delaney, John J. Reidy, Miss Eleanor Kelly and Nicholas zappone.

 BeReported To Board
Committee Swings Into Action to Verify DisprOve Startling Reports of Inadequate Accommodations;
 Students, Teachers Reported Dissatisfied

that the committee was finally formed.
 Pupils at the technical institution are reported to be studying under unfavorable conditions.
 It is pointed out that the old Croft school, now LeavenWorth's quarters, was not built for technical pur- poses, and the machinery which was suddenly transferred there is believed to be taxing the strength of the floors. The danger of col- lapsing floors, is not regarded as ilm- mediate, but as 8 hazard which might develop if conditions remain the same. tl
 Technical Students
 The greatly increased enrolment caused by the depression which in- fiuenced students to flock to Leaven- worth in the hope that a technical education might increase their chances for job has also taxed the facilities of the institution. Many students are reported to be taking turns" at the machines because there are not enough machines to go around. In some rooms it is said that students merely stand about while their companions are work ing. L
 So large is the enrolment that it is reported there are not enough desks to seat all the students at the school. At the last meeting Of the board, Comsr. Emma 0. Lowell sug- gested that the board purchase benches for Leavenworth so that students twill not have to sit on the floors" The suggestion was refer red to the Investigating committee.
 It has also been reported that the heating facilities are so inadequate at the school that on cold days the students are forced to wear over- coats i nthe classrooms.
 Recommendation Expected
 The committee investigating the reports are expected to make a

 Coleman O'Loughlin
Removal of Dog Warden Blamed on Politics. Thomas
 Farrell Named By Police Superintendent Today

charged immediately that his dis charge was motivated by politics. They claimed the administration de- cided to drop him because of 8 charge that he did not support the winning ticket in the Democratic primary last fall.
 A claim that protests by the Humane society had caused the dropping of Warden OLoughlin was discounted by his friends. Walter Hardisty, humane society agent, said he had written to Mayor Vincent Scully to protest about conditions at the pound but had not opposed the reappontment of Warden O'Loughlin. He said he had limited his protests to charges that the pound is too cold in winter, has not sufficient pens, has leaky roof and is poorly lighted.
 Recommendation "Knifed"
 Warden OLoughlin has been quoted several times in favor of major improvements at the city pound, but authorities said that his recommendations had never been made officially"
 The dog warden is appointed by the police superintendent. He must be approved by the state commits sioner of domestic animals. but Superintendent Roach said today such approval is given automatical- ly. Technically, the dog warden is 8 member of the police department.

 This measure, however, may meet with considerable opposition from students, themselves, who may ob- ject from the sentimental stand point at being transferred from one school to another.
 Incidentally the heavy enrolment at the school is reported to be weak ening the morale" of the teachers who are complaining that they can't handle the large numbers, especially since the facilities of the school are inadequate to keep each student busy.

People like Nate Beardsley and those residents of Peaceful Valley probably live longer because they've had more room to live in, and more to live for. Anyone who owns rolling pasturelands. forest and meadow, anyone who has fences to keep up and stock to watch has a major responsibility and a stake in the country. The best cure for haywire thinking and cOckeyed political phenagling is land ownership. The best place to own land is in the hill country, in 8 small town. and away from the roaring motor thorOughfares.
 A New Yorker recently adver- tised for waterWheel, for deco- rative purposes only. When coun- try people first read that adver- tisement, they immediately start ed to send postal cards, then it daWned on some of them that the man wasn't very specific about his requirements. Waterwheels come in assorted sizes and shapes. Down at the plowshop on Bullet Hill Brook is one type of wheel, just downstream Is still another pat tern. On a brook below Hull's Hill Belgian damned the stream and built a wheel on European lines but 1t never worked. WaterWheels and windmillS are never exactly alike but both provide cheap power under normal conditions. A good sign of 8 return to normalcy is the installation of windmill bat tery chargers in the farming country. Perhaps somebody will start manufacturing water-w wheels again. They're cheaper than gas or electric motors.
 Connecticut and Rhode Island were the only two states in the Union to report no farm bank ruptcy during the past fiscal year. In both eases there are good req sons for this thrift. Both states enjoy . fine market for. farm pro- duce, both practice more or less diversified agriculture. Best of all, farm ownership in these two states Is largely confined to farm CTS of native percentage. No mat ter what Is said of other racial groups, the New England Yankee can still coax . living from stub born soil. pay his fertilizer bin, and save 6 little against less prOs- porous times. Perhaps that is why Yankees are envied by all other racial groups; perhaps that ex- plains lack of receivership in Southern New England farming area, ''af'

 BRIEFS
(By Bill Garrigusy

Peaceful Valley has been iso- lated for so long folks are almost afraid to think of what they may find there, come spring. The Val ley residents aren't worrying; they know how to live. While the Main street crowd is complaining about the shortage of entertain rnent, folks in our back country are making their own. A good book, a full cellar and we'll stocked pantry, together with a dry woodpile, are enough for any one. Contentment still fingers be- yond the reach of the R. F. D.
 Nate BeardSIey writes from the Good Hill region, reports that the highway is open, wants company. Nate is that way. He's happiest when the kitchen is full of callers, when the cider glasses tinkle, and when somebody has a new joke. Nobody on earth can smoke dried beef the way Nate can; nobody knows more about draft cattle. He has lived to be friendly, kindly, and cOnsiderate of the rights and comforts of others. Nate repre- sents the best of New England and the world has made 8 path to his door. SOmeday we're going to bring Gus Benson, that KlOndike miner, over to call on Nate. With the cider flowing freely and Nate arguing with Gus about the rela- tive merits of Devon beef and gold dust, thereW be enough bed- rock philosophy to last through many 8 long winter.
