Hardly Worth Id

1t is a gigantic job to get ready for an
election and it must be very disappointing to
members of the election board to put SO much
time and effort in preparing for this oppor
tunity and then have only 2,O39 go to the
polls.
This is an extremely light vote for Noble
county for in years past it usually ran around
5000
Regardless of the number that votes, the
election board must proceed with the entire
machinery necessary for the "a precincts.
The cost of any election eventually goes
back to the precinct and at least all the tax
payers are paying for the privilege of letting
just few vote
1t is understandable on the local level

the life of the student must be changed and
gradually they will mature into the men and
women of tomorrow.
But apparently most of the graduates
are able to cope with their individual prob
lens, for as rule, they take their place in
the role of the future homemaker without
much fuss or fanfare.
The years will be kind to them and they
will gradually take over the reins of govern
ment as all other classes before them have
done.
We are extending our heartiest congrat-
ulations to all these Seniors and with it goes
our best wishes for continued success in
whatever field of endeavor they follow in
the years to come.

Graduation Time

Graduation time has again rolled around
for 100 students in the Noble county schools
and As members of the Caldwell high school
senior class who will be stepping from their
role of student for the past II years
AS is the case every year, the student
will be given rosy picture of the outside"
world and most of them will still be all aglow
with their motto, up the Ladder of Success,
We Climb etc.
There will be few from this group who
will continue their quest for higher edu-
cation there will be still others who will en-
ter the Armed Forces, but the majority of
them will try to get jobs, settle down and get
married.
But regardless of the avenue they travel,

KNOW YOUR
ELECTION LAWS

There are some people who
think that when the election
results are posted on the prec-
met booth door the election is
over.
OF course, that is not true
Telephone returns are the first
to be sent by the 88 county
boards of electionr to the secre-
tarv cf states office. They are
actually the telephone unof
fici2l returns, as the actual
"unofficial' comes later-it is
mailed to the secretary of state
following the nights compilation
and sometimes does not always
agree with figures given hurried
ly over the telephone.
Then comes the official can
vass by the board of elections
following which the official
abstract is sent to the secretary
of state. This, sometimes, takes
days but usually changes the
result of only the closest races
From these abstracts the official
tabulation is made by the secre-
tary of state and a certificatian
made, following a canvass by
certain state officials.
In case where recounts occur
in state races, the canvass cam
not be made until these recount
results are available.
The boards of elections spent
MANY months preparing for an
election and it takes considerable
time before they have finallv
completed the work connected
with an election. By then, it is
usually time to begin planninq
another!

WHERE GOES OUR TAXES?
BY willis Il. Stone

The RURAL ELECTRIFICA-
TION ADMINISTRATION was
new-deal st m p orary"
agency, created by Executive
Order #7037 on May II, 1885.
It's only pretense of legality
was the assumption that the
President held unlimited auth
ority under the terms of the
Emergency Relief Appropria
ton Act of 1885"
In 1886 Congress gave REA
the appearance of legitimacy
and made it a permanent
temporary" institution ans
Werable only to the President.
July |, 1889, REA was trans
ferred to the Department of
Agriculture.
Thus REA has become one
of the most powerful political
machines of our time. The
primary activities of REA are
focused on using public funds
to create tax exempt semi
private enterprises among
select groups, which then COM
pete with the privately financ-
ed, heavily taxed, legally con-
trolled, electrical producing
and distributing companies.
These tax exempt ventures
have been advanced through
unsound and uneconomic de-
vices, three of which are cited
on page "a of the Hoover Task
Force Report on Lending
Agencies:
81. The granting of the s.
year moratorium period with
out any charge for the use of
funds represented by accum-
ulated but unpaid interest.
"2. The 2 percent per annum
(interesD is only a fraction of
the appropriate interest for the
type of credit risk. The current
interest charges of the land
banks for lesser risks are more
than double this rate.
"3. No charge has been made
for the administrative expense
of REA which now comes to
about $7,500,000 a year"
The Hoover Task Force Re
port on Water Resources and
Power, page 325, reported that,
after 20 years of operation,

MY FAVORITE PRAYER
Honorable ThrlStOn B. Morton
q. S. Senator from KentuCk

q. S. Senator from Kentucky
GIVE me clean hands, clean
words, and clean thoughts.
HELP me to stand for the hard
right against the easy wrong.
SAVE me from habits that
harm.
TEACH me to work as hard
and play as fair in Thy sight
alone as if all the world saw.
FORGIVE me when l am un-
kind, and help me to forgive
those who are unkind to me.
KEEP me ready to help others
at some cost to myself.
SEND me chances to do little
good every day, and so grow
more like Christ.

President, Bowdoin College)

for not single candidate had any opposition
in the May primary
Even the central committee fights were
few and far between and there was abso-
lutely no reason for the people to get excited.
This is also an indication that people are
not giving much concern to their state gov
ernment for there were many contests here
but still little interest.
The American people will be in for a
rude awakening one of these days when per-
haps the privilege of voting is taken away
from them, but until that time comes, we
have feeling that apathy will continue as
the American Way of Life dwindles down
until it becomes next to nothing.

Dear Sir:
With the beauty of spring
bursting out all over, the debris
littering the outskirts and by
ways of our town is all the more
noticeable and deplorable.
During the winter months,
people hurry along and take
little notice of the unkept con-
dition of the area surrounding
our town. But people are stroll
ling now, visitors are among us
and we should make the best
possible impression.
We have discovered ways to
control flies and other insects.
Now all that need be done is
find a remedy for the Litter
bug"
We admit these hills, built by
these bugs, are monuments to
our past and present officials.
But they are ugly and during
the warm weather, the stencil
is very offensive.
Let's elect a strong minded
woman for mayor, one who Will
not hide behind the platitude OF
having to see these "iitterbugs''
at work before they act.
Let's elect a council of women
of like capabilities who are in
terested in a neat, clean and
sanitary town.
They would not neglect any OF
their official duties. They would
remove the debris littering the
by-ways and surrounding area
of our town and replace with (
turf of sparkling green grass.
