NMIONAL (DITORIAL--
Supreme Court
Is Close To Politics
It appears that there has been
some politics in the operation of the
United States Supreme court since
it came under new deal control.
The first appointments made by
President Roosevelt were largely on
a political ,basis. The ~ppointees
had nothing in their record or
experience to indicate that they
would make able and fair judges
Some of the more recent appoint-
ments may not be so bad.
Since the appointment of Senator
James Byrnes, he has continued to
act as deeuty floor leader in the
senate, thus carrying on political
activity after he has ~een ap-
pointed to the highest court in the
land. The court is theoretically
supposed to be above politics but
at the present time many do not
believe that it is.
Although ,Mr. Byrnes is serving
the president in this manner, it is
being done ,because Senator Bark-
ley is absent because of physical
difficulties, Senator Pat Harrison
died last week, and :Senator Wag-
ner has not been able to be in the
Senate since last January. Relia-
ble Washington correspondents say
that the fact of Mr. Byrnes con-
tinuing his work in the senate does
not bother the President although
it does all friends of the court
Ask Reduction In
Unnecessary Spending
The National Economy League
has asked for a cut of $263,000,000
in Federal Pu(blic work expendi-
tures and charges that part of the
doubling of the cost of army can-
tonments over original estimates
was due to the government bidding
against public works projects for
labor. Further reductions in ex-
penditures for roads in public
.parks, flood outlay, reclamation,
power distribution, etc. and other
items which do not seem to be ne-
cessary during the defense pro-
gram have been asked.
The League questions placing
metals used by civilians on the
priority list, "while thepu,blic
works program continues to re-
quire scarce materials for such
things as terraces of the Capitol
building' and roads in national parks
and forests." "Of what purpose
is it to spend millions of dollars on
a Federal pleasure parkway in an
Eastern state when the people who
might use it are faced with the
probability of 'gasolineless Sun-
day?' "
These are questions that only the
new deal executives at Washing-
ton can answer. They don't make
sense to the average tax payer.
JONES COqUNTY BANKRUPT
Harvey Ingham of the Des
~Moines Register, made the state-
meat the other day ~hat federal,
state, county and municipal debt ts
twenty million dollars per county.
That means that if the total debt
were paid, Jones county would have
to dig up twenty million dollars.
The total assessed value for Jones
county last year was twenty-four
million dollars. That statement
was of course based on the
present federal debt of sixty billion
dollars. But President Roosevelt
has announced that government
spendings for the present fiscal
year will run nineteen and one-half
(biilion dollars Even with the pro-
posed three and one-half ,billion
additional tax we ,cannot anywhere
near raise that amount. There-
fore in a ~hort time Jones county's
total public debt will equal the total !
valuation of the county.
Now please get this, if Jones
county should turn every taxable
thing she has, real estate and per-
sonal property, into money she
could now just pay her share of the
public debt.
That is what the New Deal with
its reckless spending has done to
Jones county. Ickes, Morgenthau,
Wallace and Hopkins go right on
spending money with the approval
of FDR ~ if money grew on ,bush-
es. There is just one answer to this
condition and that Is repudiation
of the pu(blic debt. It may be ,pos-
sible that this is the object of the
planned economy of the New Deal
and would fit into what FDI~ calls
the level off process.--Anam0s~

new Ivanhoe ,bridge would come
from Lot ], and 3 and 4 fractionalt

Iowa, which were purchased of i
Dr. T. L. Wolfe and mere,betsof
the Wolfe family prompted an in-
vestigation of the Town of Ivanhoe. 1
Land in the vicinity of Ivanhoe1
has been owned in the ~Volfe fam-I
ily for over one hundred years. I
John Wolfe grandf'~ther of l)r T '
L. Wolfe, G. G. Wolfe and :Mrs. IsaI
Sturges entered the land from theI
government in 1839.
John Wolfe came to the Terri-
tory of Iowa in 1837 and made a
claim in Cedar county, where he
remained until the following year
and returned to Ohio for his fam-
ily which consisted of t~ wife and
four children. They journeyed
overland to the claim and establish-
ed a home. Soon after that they
decided a more desirable location
could be found in Linn county and
made a clailn on what is now sec-
tion 12 in Bertram township north-
east of the Palisades state park.
The following year a third claim
was made and the family removed
to the land on the Cedar river which
has never been owned since l)y
anyone other than a member of the
Wolfe family. This comprised a
part of section 27 and 31.
He also ~purchascd the ferry at
Ivanhoe and erected a large (boat
house, fitting up part of it for hal)i-
