The Republicans call it gag rule--the Democrats, for the most part, simply smile and say nothing. Whatever it is, the Roosevelt Parliamentary techniqtre works. A major test of Presidential power came early in lhe House when Democratic leaders adopted a rule of procedure whereby no amendment could be offered from the floor which would effect t]e economy sections o the Independent nieces Bill, then under consideration, or any oher appropriations measure that would appear during the session. The rule was tmprecedentedand it passed. There wre heavy Democra- tic defections, which resulted in Democratic leaders working over te mavericks in their party. Result of that as that a move to recommit the rule s slaughtered, 240 to 141. Most drastic victory came on Januar 20, when the Roos- evelt dollar devaluation bill "s.wept through the House by the colosl margin of 360 to 40. It s doubthfl if any piece of legis- lation of comparable importance ever carried so fast- Debate was almost entirely shtrt )ff. All opposition amendments were shouted down. Dozens of representatives who admit they do not understand the present dollar policy thoroughly, voted for it. The measure has four specific uhases. First, the treas- ury is given title to all of the nation's nonetary gold stock, including thtt held by he federal reserve banks. Second, it fixes 60 per cent of the dollar's present gold Content as the maximun of gold value ater revaluation- Third,.it gives the Administratibn a ftrnd of $2,000,000,000, obtained automatically from the added value of the treasury,'s gold after devaluation has taken place, wth which to stabil- ize the foreign value of t]e dollar. Fourth, it gives the treasury greater p(wer in issuing and floating government securities, thus simplifying the great refinancing task th,at confronts the federal government now. The treastrry is allowed to purchase any type q,f government security th any other type, may sell issues privately without offering hem to th general public. Main opposition to .the bill is based on the fear of putting so vast a po in one man's hands--it obviously makes Mr. Roosevelt a monetary dictator vth hardly a restriction. Sup- porters of the New Deal claim that is what the country wants; that it is essential to recovery tha the President be given free rein. 00What Other Papers l .ave To Say According to her published state- ment there is a brave glrl of the Des Moines Register sta who will not permit the use of the word, "pot- luck", in any of the copy which she andles. She is deserving of high praise for her determination. Next to "victuals", the word "pot- luk" is the worst in moder use. It is e misnomer, utterly false, hrr, In cound, unappetizing and a whole lot of so one. According to Tatum's Treatise on Titles, the term had its beginning many years ago when company took its own chanc if dropping in at meal time and when choice, had it been yermitted, lay between dane- lion green an4 wild turnips. Now- days when /those in n the cooper- ative meal spend hours in prepar- ation of their favorite dish as a corn ribution to the board which never fails to contain  glorious galaxy of grand, grub. it is all wrong to designate the whole by this ter- rible title.

SHOULD NOT FOLLOW PRECEDENT (North English Record) .... Te Toledo Chronicle hopes that President Roosevelt will receive gefi- erou support from repubIfcans gen- erally in the present session of con- greas. David Lawrence, generally rec- ognized as the most capabIe observer and writer in Wastington, says that history will some dy record that the demvcrats refmsed to grant Herbert Hoover the powers he asked which wouI have saved America from th@ terrible disaster which befell us in the wltter of 1932-193Z. This is good time to act as Americans and now politicians, even thou a good ex- ample was not set in the past. PAPERS REFLECT PROGRESS We aw somewhere in an exchange where a man in a distant state wrote the loca! newspaper thusly: "Please send me several copies of your paper. We like your part of the country and if your community suits us, we may" locate there." .hat does that mean? Simply : The local newspaper of a town or community reflects the conditions and prgre of that community. An up- to-date, clean, bright, well-edited newsp,er, no matter if it is small, refleet the same conditions among the people who live there. While on the other hand, a down-at-the heel poorly edited, poorly printed paper {s a symbol of au unprogressive com- munity. Strangers can immediately detect these conditions by referring to the local nelper. And because a newspaper fs what a town or community makes It. as measured by the support it receives, that rommunlty is dvertising the conditions of its locality through its local vewspaper.ttudso Herald. WITH THE SPEED OF A SNAIL Spencer News-Herald: The Iowa General Assembly, now in its eleventh week is about to get ready to start to begin to commence to take action on tax revision. Such speed is some- hing t marvel at. We never thought they coul@ do it, especially when the thing vca sprung on them in euch sudden fashion. Can it be possibte that some of the members had an inkling of what they were to do when they were called in special sesscn? Can tt be that some of tem had prepared themselves in advance? It uegins to look that way. YES, T!MES WERE PRETTY TOUGH WHEN WE RAN OUR OWN BUSINESS Th!ngs surely were tough back in 1931-32. when the nation was being managed .by the G. O.
