Why Should We Have Four
Terms For County Officers?
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to make the terms of
county officials, with the exception
of county attorney, four years in-
stead of two.
As we have stated ~before, we are
unable to see where this bill will
be pbeneficial to the people as a
whole. It will 'be nice for the office
holders. County officers are re-
ported to have one of the best and
strongest lobbies at Des Moines.
Until such time as it is pointed
out where the people as a whole
will ,benefit from longer terms of
office, this newspaper feels that
the legislature should defeat such
a bill.
Better Not Read Willkie
Out Of Party Too Early
Those who would read Wendell
Wtllkie out of the Republican party
may be acting hasty. Mr. Willkiei
ha~ a program and he is working
as much as he can to get it into ef-
fect as early as possible. He may
be right and he may ,be wrong.
Time will have to answer that.
The fact remains that the Lend-
Lease bill drew the votes of only
three congressmen in the house of
representatives from states which
Willkte carried last fall. One of
the three was Paul Cunningham,
Des Moines attorney, elected from
the district in which Polk county
is located.
People are calling the present
crisis the "greatest," "most con-
fusing" and "most terrifying"
America has ever faced. America
has faced great crisis .before this
and probably will live to do so
again.
WE WONDER OURSELVES
We listened to two "confidential
news reports on the radio the other

that Hitler was about to come over

one convinced us that the axis is in

shoot Mussolini and then com-
mit suicide. ~ome of this "inside
stuff" must be a little screwy.-

EDIqPORIAL
This editorial was prompted by
an article in "The American Legion
Magazine."
Have you ever thought to corn-
,pare and contast the lives of the
great men whose 'birthdays come
in February? Although February
is the shortest month in the
year, in a span of eleven days are
the birthdays of three of our most
noted native sons. Two of these
have their birthdays only ten days
apart and are the only presidents
whose birthdays are commemorated
with holidays. All have left our
country richer for their being.
These men are---Washington,
winner of independence and con-
solidator of the Colonies; Lincoln,
lawyer, statesman - humanitarian
who renewed the sacredness of our
Bill of Rights; Edison, who gave
light, and liberty from old-age,
baek-*bending burdens.
Of the three Washington was the
most fortunate in childhood. Born
and reared in the artistocratie at-
mosphere of the Virginia Cavaliers,
he enjoyed the advantages of edu-
v~tion and social standing. Lincoln
and Edison, on the other hand,
were practically self-taught. Lin-
coln's struggle for knowledge in
the backwoods of Kentucky is a
notable example of perserverance.
Edison, born in a small Ohio town,
attended school only two months.
Edison became internationaRy
renowned at an earlier age than
either Washington or Lincoln, and
played a leading role in one of the
most intense stories of scientific
revery in history.
"The Father of his Country," a
Beau Brummel in attire, was the
fearless leader in a cause that was
all but lost. .Lincoln was a gaunt,
gangling country lawyer whose
shawl-covered shoulders never bent
under the burdens of the great
war.
History will one day make her
final judgment of the respective
merits of these famous sons of
February. The importance of their
deeds compared with those of their
contemporaries has already elevat-
ed them to lofty heights. Their
strivtngs for good and right are
ours ever to cherish'

SENIOR REVIEWS
Louise E. Dvomtk
I~ouise has attended Mount Ver-
non schools for all of her twelve
school years, and has been a very
important member of our different
activities and organizations. Prob-
ably, the field she is most repre-
sented in is music. Louise started
in this department when but in
eighth grade. She sang the Old
Mother's part in the grade school
operetta, "The Toymaker." Now
she serves as a most capable ac-
companist for the mixed chorus,
girls' glee club, and soloist. She
is well represented in band, play-
ing the clarinet, and in orchestra
she is a member of the violin sec-
tion. Louise has quite a record
having accompanied the chorus in
the following operettas: "Carmen,"
"Harmony Hall," "Hollywood
Bound," and will also play for the
production "Tune In." She was
represented, in the part of Mrs.
Raggs in the junior class play, and
was made a member of the Velvet
Curtain this fail. In other organ-
izations she serves as treasurer of
the National Honor Society, and a
member of the M club. Louise in
her spare time, although it doesn't
seem possible that she has any,
likes to read, skate, play either the
piano or accordion or dance. Her
favorite subjects are typing, short-
hand, and math. She likes each
about the same. After graduation
Louise plans to attend Cornell and
hopes to become a public school
music supervisor in the distant fu-
ture. With the musical ability
Louise has shown here in high
school we're sure she'll make a suc-
cess in this field.
I~uise M. Dvorak
,Since, in the senior class of '41,
there are two girls by the same:
name, they are designated as Louise
E, and Louise M. Louise M. has
attended Mount Vernon high school
for her four high school years, hav-
ing received her grade school train-
ing at Cedar Valley, country school.
In Louise's spare time we're likely
to find her crouched close to the
radio, since it is a hobby of hers
to keep up on all of the latest popu-
lar dance music. She has taken
four years of physical training, and
has decided that her favorite su,b-
ject is shorthand but she is fond
of all those dealing with commer-
clallsm and business. On the other
hand Louise finds home economics
very pleasant, both cooking and
sewing and puts both to a great
advantage and use. After gradua-
tlon Louise would like to attend
business college; take a roomer-
elal course and then she hopes to
secure a stenographic position.
With this business course, and her
talent and liking of home econom-
tcs we can't see anything but the
road of success and happiness
ahead for her.
SOCIAL DANCING CLUB
At the beginning of the school
year a club was organized with the
main purpose of teaching and im-
i proving ballroom dancing of the
i pupils. Every Thursday at 3 00
the grottp meets and applies what
they have learned. This group is
under the leadership of Mr. Sidney
King, a senior at Cornell who pro-
video the recordings for the danc-
ing, which are played on the re-
cording machine of the school. This
group sponsored a Valentine's
dance, Friday the 14th. Candy and
pop were sold, and the whole eve-
ning proved very entertaining.

ADJOURNMENT
Appropriation Bills
Have Been Placed
On Calendar
Prospect of an early sine die ad-
journment of the Forty-ninth Iowa
General Assembly was brightened
this week by action of the Appro-
priation committees of House and
Senate in placing on the calendar
the major appropriation bills.
Such action, weeks earlier than
customary, places the legislature
in a ,Position to prepare to go home
about April 10, according t~o the
appropriations committee, chair-
men, Representative George L.
Scott of Fayette county and Sena-
tor John P. Berg of Cedar Fails.
While it is up to the legislature
itself to fix the time of sine die ad-
journment, the prospect of dis-
posing of all important legislation
two or three weeks earlier than
usual has had the effect of starting
a 'boom for an early April setting
for final adjournment.
NO CLOSUI~
"Not that we want to foreclose
on anyone's right to obtain en-
actment of his personal measures,"
states Senator Berg. "But we see
a chance of adjourning earlier and
with a good bit of business trans-
acted."
Chairman Scott and his House
appropriations committee worked
like beavers in handling major ap-
propriations items and were able
to .beat the Senate appropriations
committee to the calendar with the
wherewithal that makes a state
function. His first contribution was
the item for maintenance of the
institutions under the supervision
of the state ,board of control
an approximate $4,000,000 a year
outlay for the next two years.
THREE IN ONE
In this session of the legislature
the major appropriations bill has
been split into three items--for
state institutions under the state
board of control--for state educa-
tional institutions under the state
board of education--and for state
departmerits. The first item went
on the calendar of the house last
Friday. The second item was slat-
ed to reach the House calendar last
Monday, while the final one was
due Thursday of this week. While
the House appropriations commit-
tee was first to reach the floor with
a portion of the total outlay recom-
mendatiorm the Senate was not idle
but expected to have all three di-
visions of the bill on the Senate
calendar before the end of the
week. In addition, the Senate corn-
mittee introduced an appropriation
measure controlling the expendi-
tures of the state highway com-
mission on road maintenance, ad-
i mlnlstration and engineering costs.
The legislature does not control the
expenditures of the highway com-
mission for road construction.
Very soon the legislature will
decide to take up appropriation
measures, and then for several
weeks these bills will be considered
in preference to all other legisla-
tion. Claims bills which also are
preferred have not yet made their
appearance.
MARCH VERY MEEK
The end of February will see the
last of introduction of bills 'by
individual members of the legis-
lature. The Senate rules set the
limit in that body for Feb. 24, and
the House rules provide that the
final day for individual introduc-
tion of bills will be the last legis-
lative day in the month, probably
Feb. 26, if the legislature agrees
to that day as the beginning of
the mid-session recess. After the
recess the sifting committees will
be appointed to take charge of the
legislative calendars.
A WEEK AT EASE
Legislative recess has been de-
creed by the senate beginning Feb.
the Senate, another is under con-
sideration for confirmation, and the
final llst yet to be submitted will
include appointment of one mem-
ber of the state liquor control com-
mission, two members of the state
board of education, a state superin-
tendent of banking, two members
of the state basic science board
two members of the state aero-
nautics commission, a commissioner
of health, two highway comets--
stoners, one soil conservation com-
missioner, one state tax commis-
sioner and two conservation com-
missioners.
The new soil conservation com-
mission post will go to Earl Elijah
of Cedar county. New appointees
are expected to succeed B. E. Man-
ley of ~Fason City, Dee on the
state liquor control commission,
Frank Green, Rep. on the state tax
commission, and D. W. Bates, Dem
as state banking commissioner. The
re-appointment status of other re-
tiring office holders is in doubt, al-
though there may be re-appoint-
ments in the case of Anna Lawther,
I)em Dubuque, and John P. Wal-
lace, Re p Des Moines, on the state
board of education. The terms of
A. A. Hurst, Dem Maquoketa and
G. A. Olson, Dem Whiting, on the
state highway commission, expire
July 1, and neither has received in-
dication of reappointment. Charles
Gatschet, Rep Des Moines, one of
two retiring members of the state
aeronautics commission, whose
term expired Jan. 18, may receive
appointment.
EVERY 3fAN A BILL
A survey of bills introduced in
the legislature discloses that every
member of the House of Repre-
sentatives, with hut one exception,
has introduced at least one mea-
sure. The individual record in the
Senate is not so complete. Five
Senators to date have filed no in-
dividual bills, but since each Sena-
tor heads a committee that also has
introduced measures, it may be said
that every 'Senator has contributed
his quota.
Many representatives who ordin-
arily would have filed no individual
bills have been "taken along" in
groups as co-authors of measures.
Some House bills bear the names
of eighteen and twenty Represen-
tatives.
THF NE~V NOT GREEN
New members of the legislature
have done surprisingly well in their
maiden efforts in presenting bills
on the legislative floor. Some even
i have taken a hand at presiding over
i sessions. A note-worthy example
of excellence as a presiding officer
is Senator G. V~. Hunt of Gutten-
berg. One day last week he piloted
the Senate through more than half
a dozen roll calls without hitch or
flaw.
Most prolific of the bill sponsors
in the Senate are Faul of Polk
Cromwell of Des Moines, Bekman
of Wapello, Mowry of Jasper, Berg
of Black Hawk, Byers of Linn
Henningsen of Clinton; Martin of
Scott and Hill of Wright. Principal
authors of bills in the House in-
elude Representatives Yager of
Dickinson, Browner and Arant of
Polk, Deitz and Eckerman of Scott
McFarlane and Butterfield of
Black Hawk, Alesch of Plymouth,
Avery of Clay, Hoegh of Lucca,
Burma of Butler, Dancer of De-
catur, Knowlton of Winneshiek and
Keeney of Pale Alto.
THE oLD STORY
Liquor and rbeer law legislation
appears to be in the doldrums of
the legislative seas. In virtually
the same position as two years
ago, all measures on these subjects
have been shunted to the liquor
control committee of the House
which is expected to bring out a
composite bill of virtually the same
content as the old H.F. 400 of two
years ago.
But this year the drys are to
have the weight of authority in the
making of the liquor-beer control
bill. A sub-committee of the li-
quor control committee, with Rob-
ert Reilly of Dubuque, a liberal, as
chairman, will handle it. His sub-
committee comprises principally
conservatives on the liquor ques-
tion.
This group will draft a bill of the
odds and ends of liquor legislation
now pending. Two years ago H, F.
400 passed the House but failed to
receive action in the Senate.
