No. IT may not be pleasant, but it is necessary to face the facts about public indebtedness at this time when there is under discussion a possible county building project that would cost upwards of ?150,000. It has been sug gested that this program be financed by a bond issue, plus a grant from the government. A look into past county bond issues is in order. On April 1, 1927, the county issued general warrant refunding bonds in the sum of $142,700. The taxpayers of this county have since PAID IN INTEREST THE SUM OF $53,008.15 on those bonds. And, still due on the principal, is $117,700. From July 1, 1919 to November 1, 1927, the county issued road bonds in the amount of $1,772,704. On those bonds, interest payments have totaled the astound ing sum. of $541,061.60, and we still owe $897,000. Citizens, whether they be direct or indirect taxpayers, should turn those figures over in their minds. We be lieve they will agree with our own conclusion that for the present at least, it would be better to grit our teeth and get along without further bonded indebtedness. The grant business may look nice, but give a thought to the interest business on the bonds that would be issued to go with the grant. If a dire emergency existed, it might be advisable or necessaiy to go further into debt. But the situation at the courthouse hardly can be called an emergency. Pos sibly a modest remodeling plan, financed by special levy or in the regular budget, is needed to meet the vault problems in the county clerk's office and some of the other space shortages. There should' be a study of the law to determine if it is true that the county is furnishing ' space to some offices in the courthouse that should be taken care of elsewhere. But whatever is done, if anything, let's not issue any bonds. At the present schedule of bond retirement, in a few years the county s debt will be cut down to boy size." But if there is yielding to the temptation to go further in, that hoped-for day will never arrive. The good faith of County Commissioner Chase in asking for a public discussion of the courthouse enlarge ment is not questioned here. The county officials went about the matter in the right way, giving people time to think it over and to offer their opinions on the matter. The county's experience with bond issues certainly is a matter for consideration in connection with the problem, and we believe the figures cited above are conclusive arguments against issuance of further bonds at this time. FRENCH MINISTER PREDICTS END OF ; CZECH-NAZI CRISIS PARIS, July 22 (UP) Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet last night predicted an Imminent solution of the Czechoslovak crisis as a result of a daylong Anglo-French diplomatic discussions at Ver sailles, held against the backdrop of France's greatest post-war mili tary show in honor of visiting King George VI. The anticipated move to dispel the war clouds that have hovered over central Europe for nearly -three months because of the au tonomy demands of the German Sudeten minority In Czechoslo vakia was attributed to an anglo French decision to exert new pressure on the Prague govern ment. President Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia will be urged by Britain and France to discontinue resistance to the Sudeten minor ity program advanced by Konrad Henleln, the "Czechoslavak Hit ler," unofficial reports said.

PELICAN THEATRE SATURDAY MORNING 10 O'CLOCK ALSO ' "LONE RANGER" No. 12 POPEYE CARTOON PORKY CARTOON Come Early! Doors Open 9:30 Behinim By Paul lALLOhOff Wf ASHING TON. July Jl Mr. " U'a 1940 purposes lire well understood by nearly oil who put their feet under the big political desks here. There is little con fusion about them. He will Insist the democratic nominating convention select a nviu sympathetic to his purposes: otherwise he will be (orced to get Into the race himself, lie has almost said as much. What he hns left unsaid la being said for him by those competent to speak. His political associates are accepting this as bis policy. Where it will lead him is equally clear lu view of the ex isting situation. There Is now no "other man," and not likely to be any. Some who have in dicated ambitions along theso lines have received no encourage ment from the source of all Washington power. Furthermore, Mr. Roosevelt knows far too much about political history to warrant the assumption that he would pin his faith to a stooge. (T. R. and Taft; Al Smith and FUR.) Likewise, the democratic party condition today obviously sug gests that he, himself, personally, la the only man who fits the sit uation. NEW SITUATION" This la not entirely deduction. Evidences are accumulating daily that some very important people are beginning to plan tl that way. The private conversations of the president's associates are in dicative. These no longer In volve any concern over the com ing elections. Another Roosevelt triumph is confidently awaited. He has the money, the power; the market is going up; business Is improved and even non-new dealers are finding It natural to express their consideration tor this wise and good man." Judg ing solely by the site and num ber of hands clutching at the presidential coat tails, the new dealers are counting the election as over and won. What Interests them now Is whether he can make it in '40 when the money has run low and he faces an entirely different sit uation a situation involving solely hia control over bis party factions at a time when they may not personally need WPA and PWA help as much as they do now. Inside Washington is talking of little else. CONVENIENT DATELINE But most significant of all was a squib in tbe papers the other day about formation of a "Third-term-for-Roosevelt" club at Mc Lean, Virginia. The locale was Interesting. McLean is a bus stop across the river from Wash ington, about 7 miles from the White House as the political crow flies. Residents there were pic tured as having the first organi zational inspiration In the nation. It you will investigate you will find the leader does not live at McLean, is not a resident of Vir ginia, but is a District of Col umbia business man, Arthur Clarendon Smith. The meeting appears to have been held in Mc Lean because one of the ladies interested in the movement had a vacant parlor in her home there. This was convenient po Utically as well as socially, be cause it removed the movement from a Washington dateline. Nevertheless, Mr. Smith is not a man to go planning such things in McLean without knowing where he stands. He notified two competent democratic political officials in Washington. They approved the action by not stopping it. Their only off-the-record comment now la that Mr. Smith is sincere; that no official approval was given; that he may have gotten started a little too soon, but he Is certainly moving in the right direction. Note National Chairman Far ley was not one of the two ap proving officials. Further activity of the club probably will await bis return from Alaska where he is hiding out on the primaries, but money is already coming into the club headquarters In $1 and $2 contributions. TOUCHED ONCE Strange thing about Mr. Roose- POPEYE CLUB SIDE GLANCES 1 ' oio.-ia,y. mi lowers "I'm ashamed to lake you to n party looking like that. Why couldn't you have wailed one more day to have that sty on jour eye?" velt's successful tour is that he touched the generally recognised November battleground only once it Marietta Ohio. Various polls and political charts agree tho congressional struggle will centur in the northern grain states, the middle western Btates and the east, north of the Ohio and 1'u tomac rivers. The president Is planning a trip to Michigan which may furnish a better line on con gressional prospects. PAT'S STEAL In politics as In baseball there is a good play known as the steal. Nevada's Senator Pat McCarran pulled It during tho presidential trip in such a way as to avoid mention. Ho did not wait to board the train wheu it entered his state. Ho got on at Suit Lake City, sat around gossiping ith the news-men. Whan the train pulled into Carlin, Novadu, he was still missing from tbe limelight. Not until after the president had begun to speak did he find time to push his way into the crowd, edge hla way up to the front. A number of his friends called out: "Hello Pat," causing the president to pause and look around to see who was getting tbe competitive band. . , Delayed appearances always seem to draw the biggest ap plause. BIBLIOGRAPHY Mr. Roosevelt acquired much of his amazing background of political knowledge by reading while he was HI and flat on his back. His friends say that during those years he read practically everything that lias been written upon the history of American politics, his. favorite being the Federalist Papers, a series of 85 essays on tho Constitution Hamilton, Mndlson and Jay. by ANSWERS TO .

If this rhniige Is ac complished It would be advisable to provide fireproof vault housing for these records also.
