..- WEDNESDAY, FEB.
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.

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,

whole lot of so one.
According to Tatum's Treatise on
Titles, the term had its beginning
many years ago when company took

President Roosevelt will receive gefi-

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.

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

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. P. instead of
the NRA. when the individual ran his
own business, ehn there were no
processing taxes to increase the rice
nf commodities, when the national
6bt had shrunk to a point indicating
that it might some day be paid and
really to cliclv, the top price was $7.5
