CONGRESS: ed Sharpen Payroll Axe KNOW YOUR BREED Morocco Spotted Horse By W. J. DRYDEN The Morocco horse originated in the crossbreeding of the Morocco Barb and the English Hackney and the French coach horse. The conformation of the Morocco Barb is somewhat similar to the Arabian horse. In size the Morocco varies from 1,050 to 1,400 pounds. It is a general purpose horse, bred for work as ' Ideal type of Morocco horse. spotted j ! Telling Sheep Age By Teeth Diagrams The age of sheep up to four years can be determined easily by examining the teeth. The mouths of sheep are equipped with a full set of 24 molar teeth on both upper and lower TWO YFAK rfTTT77?7 THREE- - TEAR rrmTT77 FOUR jaws. In addition to these eight incisor teeth are provided along the front of the lower jaw. The chart designed by University of Alberta should prove an accurate guide in determining or estimating the age of sheep. j BRITAIN: Land Control Economy - minded GOP house members, axe in hand, were eying the big federal payroll in their announced drive to scale U. S. expenditures 12 billion dollars below the 1946 budget of 41 billion dollars. Declaring that there is hardly a government department that does not have twice as many employees as needed, Representative Taber (Rep., N. Y.), chairman of the house appropriations committee, asserted that 1,000,000 workers could be chopped off the payroll of 2,300,-00- 0 without seriously impairing services. Not more than 500,000'em-ployee- s in all are needed, Taber said. We are going to cut down government expenditures to a point where the budget can be balanced, a payment made on the national debt, and we will still have room to reduce taxes, Taber snorted. Proceeding along the path of increasing control of property to assure its widest possible use for public benefit, the Labor government of Britain moved to regulate the sale and use of real estate. Under the town and country planning bill introduced in parliament and headed for passage despite conservative opposition, the government would compel the sale of undeveloped but prospectively valuable real estate at existing prices. Only in cases of hardship would prices above the prevailing market value Labor Reforms ing of billboards. Sen. Joe Ball (Rep., Minn.) and Rep. George Case (Rep., S. D.) pushed labor reform in early sessions of the 80th congress, Ball proposing sweeping measures for corrective legislation. First, Ball called for prohibition of secondary boycotts and making labor organizations liable for violating contracts. Then, he introduced legislation to ban all union and closed shop agreements and maintenance of (membership contracts. Finally, Ball proposed to decentralize collective bargaining to prevent the tieup of an entire industry through general negotiations. The new Case bill introduced in the house permits issuance of injunctions to prevent strikes impairing the public welfare; forbids unions to coerce employees, seize property in disputes, withdraw essential maintenance workers, or order walkouts with majority apprqval of members; and makes union liable for damages resulting from breach of contract. The bill also grants the states authority to ban the closed STATE DEPARTMENT: Happy Day well as pleasure. The working team is fast and steady, and has considerable stamina.

In addition, the government would control the use or reconversion of property to prevent industrial blight, preserve the countryside around cities an provide recreation grounds, and allow room for breathing in overcrowded areas.

SENATE: Dixie Sees Red When Senator Bilbos bitter personal enemy, James O, Eastland, also of Mississippi, rose in the senate to denounce the move to unseat his unpopular colleague, he was expressing the apprehension of every southern senator lest the move set a precedent against conservative members from Dixie. Although , Bilbo was temporarily barred because of an investigating committees charge that he had accepted favors from war contractors, the real impetus to the move was furnished by liberal groups opposed to Bilbo because of his fight against the fair employment practices act and poll tax, and his encouragement of discrimination against Negro voters. While Bilbo was the immediate target because of his nationwide reputation, the issue touched southern senators from all white supremacy states. Charging that liberal pressure groups were working for Bilbos debarment, Senator (Dem., La.) cried: Topple hiip off and find out what is going to happen to others who share his views and courage. . El-lend- er ECONOMICS: President Reports In the first annual economic report issued by the President under the employment act of 1946, Mr. Truman set forth the principles for a prosperous America. Drawn by a three man council of economic advisers, the report called for continuance of the traditional free enterprise system supplemented by constructive government assistance where necessary. e recommendations include maximum use of labor vand productive facilities, prevention of economic fluctuations, in international cooperation trade and finance, and promotion of welfare, health and se curity. Because of their immediate recbearing, the short-rang- e ommendations were of greatei interest. The report asked for the maintenance of present tax rates to provide for substantial retirement of the national debt; lowering of prices wherever possible to increase consumption; moderation of labor demandr to head off additional price rises; increase in the minimum wage above 40 cents an hour, and extension of the fair labor standards act to workers now excluded. Mr. Truman also asked for extension of rent control beyond next June. Decontrol would result in immediate rent increases, which would materially impair purchasing power, he said. Long-rang- Democratic, are made. The uproar on the part of that small group of local townspeople at the bald statement of a local politician was evidence that such methods are not approved by the majority of American citizens. They were, aside from the politician, a unit for abolishing every needless job as well as firing the bureaucrats. There was no sentiment for keeping the jobs as a for party workers. pay-of- f The Republican party has men capable of real leadership and statesmanship. It also has a full share of peanuts. If the peanuts are a majority and dominate party policies, rather than providing the statesmanship that will get us out of the muddle we are in, the party will lose the opportunity the voters have given it. It is statesmanship, not partisan politics, not the paying of political debts that the majority of the American people, who voted the Republican party into power, are demanding in payment for their votes. That little impromptu town session of represented a fair the nation, as much as would a Gallup poll. cross-secti- on DO NOT COUNT too much on 20 per cent income tax reduction we have been hearing about, or the maximum economy in government we must have if such a reduction is to be made. There will be more creeks to be made into navigable streams, more dams to be built, more power sites to be developed and more postoffices to be built, despite the fact we have gotten along without them in the past. The pork barrel will continue to operate as of old. Political debts will be paid, at least to some extent. That is the way of politics. that TRIFLES incidents can, at times, change the course of national and world events. One such occurred at the Democratic convention in Baltimore in 1912. William Jennings Bryan was a Nebraska delegate to that convention. The delegation'was instructed to vote for Clark for the presidential nomination. The Tammany delegation from New York wanted to name the temporary chairman of the convention, the man who would preside for the opening session until the convention was organized. Bryan, who disliked Tammany and all its works, objected. He made an impassioned plea for the repudiation of what he considered to be the forces of political evil. With the assistance of Gum Shoe Bill Stone, Clarks manager, Tammany won. Despite their instructions, Bryan and the Nebraska delegation climbed off the Clark bandwagon and onto Wilsons. Bryans action made Wilsons nomination possible. If Clark had become President and the Democratic nominee was slated to win he might not have led us into World War I. Without our participation in that conflict, the history of the world would have been changed. Bryan, a pacifist, was, possibly, responsible for our participation in that wor.
