NUMBER 52. August Expenses State Government $9,412,997 More Troubles at Jeff--Harry Clymer, Legislative Leader, DeadStark-McKittrick Hook-up Jefferson City, Sept. Harry Clymer, of Steeleville, Republican floor leader of the House of Representatives, died of paralysis at a St. Louis hospital on August 27, and was buried at Steeleville on MonAugust 30. Had he lived until day, October he would have been 67 old.
His life was one of service. years That his death was a lamentable tragedy, was attested by the fact that hundreds from far and near over the state joined the thousands of home county at the funeral. To his the mind of this writer Harry Clymer's speech toward the closing days of the legislative session when he plead for action necessary to pay the back pension due the old' people of the state, was peculiarly typical He sought to have the of the man. keep the promise made legislature by the people of the state. They promised, he had promised, he urgthat faith should be ed eloquently, kept.
In all phases of life Harry Clymer believed in keeping the faith, Will the prosecuting attorney of county, the presumed goat of Cole MicKittrick's gambling wrath (or is it righteous indignation) (be oustthe supreme court. He will ed by not. For isn't this same prosecutor holding the cases against the legislapackers- and the Attortive payroll General can't afford to have ney too vigorously handled. such cases So the Cole county prosecutor will keep on (being just that. His predeaccepted the gambling atcessors of Jefferson City for sevmosphere and the Attorney General eral years had intimate knowledge of it has since and during the time he was state senator.
By the way, it was about that time that several along of the legislators collected the pay for their clerks--clerks who were not at the legislative session, or if they were they were just casual visitors. And speaking of prosecuting atthe man who holds that oftorneys, fice in Jackson county has consented, so the newspapers say, to prosecute gambling in that county, although he steadfastly refuses to take cognizance of the gigantic election frauds in Kansas City, uncovered by the federal courts. It is refreshing to know that the Jackson county prosecutor will function at all. And the newspapers are told that the "one-armed bandits," meaning the slot machines, are out for good. No one knows at this moment just how much time is encompassed in the word "good." No one thinks it measures much more than the last end of the indefinite period known as "forever and a day." The newest sensation at Jefferson City is a printing paper contract which it is alleged was let improperly.
The Governor has promised to "have the matter investigated," and Friend Roy McKittrick will again be out in a ferocious interview. One day last week a member of the legislature told us that the state paid $15.00 a thousand for the letter paper used by members at the recent legislative session, and the same price for the envelopes. Printers over the state will not wonder that the official head of the concern getting the contract was able to visit Europe after the session. But it's barely possible our legislative informant is wrong. If the record can be found, we will (be glad to tell just what the printed stationery did cost.
The figure named is about twice what a private individual would have to pay. Students of political air currents say they see a new political combination within the New Deal party in Missouri. It is replete with the letter and runs about like this: "Clark, Stark, McKittrick, Dickman combine." No diagram is necessary -Senator, Governor, Attorney General and Mayor of St. Louis. In this there is an omission of the name of Pendergast.
All of them except Dickman profited by the Kansas City election frauds, but Tom's crowd got caught with the goods on them. There's a certain irony in politicsas well as some peculiararities. We have a letter of inquiry from a certain business man in southern Missouri asking us to give him "an unprejudiced statement of the comparative cost of the various etate administrations in Missouri." We are going to do as near as we can what this gentleman requests, next week, but it will not be an unprejuliced statement, It will be a recitation of fact. However, as a "teaser" we may inform the gentleman that under Hyde's administration it cost in some years less than 10 million dollars 8 year to run the government of NEWTON COUNTY SCHOOL! NEWS Roy Scantlin, County The Redings Mill home-coming has been changed from Sept. 12 to the 26th.
The schools of the county are in many cases showing a decreased enrollment as the term begins. Independence school with James Laird as teacher, shows 17 enrolled this term and there were 24 last year. Part of the decrease was caused in this school by the large class of 8th grade graduates last year. The largest enrollment under one teacher so far reported is that at Number One where Fred Marble has 53 to begin with. The state aid money for the schools has arrivedand amounts to about 38 per cent of the apportionment allowed by law.
This is the first payment and 1 another payment will be made in March, 1938, which is expected to be larger than this one. The teachers of the county will meet for an all day meeting Friday, Sept. 17, in the court house, beginning at' 9 o'clock. This will be an important meeting to work out some difficulties and problems arising since the opening of the schools. Special work will be done on the use of the course of study and new books, Wentworth has an addition to her building and it is now being used for high school work, with Ralph Dennison as principal.
Another grade school teacher has been added to this school. 0, P. A. EXECUTIVES MEET AT FAYETTEVILLE O. M.
Bishop, vice president of the Ozark Playgrounds association, J. B. O'Reilly and John Archer, committee members, drove to Fayetteville yesterday afternoon, where they attended a meeting of the executive committee of the organization held at the Washington hotel. Delegates from the entire district were present and plans for the Flaming Fall Revue and the annual fall convention of the association were discussed. COOPERATION FOR HARVEST SHOW The management of the Harvest Show has been notified by Powell Bros.
Truck Lines, that large or small trucks will be placed at the disposal of the Harvest Show Committee for use either before or during the time of the Show. The 1o- cal representative for Powell Bros. is Glenn Nichols. Missouri, while under Park is cost almost 20 millions a year and under Stark it is going to cost more than 40 millions a year. The people pay nearly as much in sales tax on food now, as the total expense of the state government used to be.
The exof the state government for penses August were $412,997, or at the rate of considerably more than 100 millions a year. The petitions for a referendum on the gasoline tax are being so voluminously signed that there is no question but that it will be submitted to vote and mightly little question about the increase in tax being defeated. The New York Times says that the automobile workers unions are dividing into factions. The Martin group wants strong centralized control, while the other faction wants to place responsibility more largely with the various "locals." This contest is illustrative of the division of thought along political lines in this country. The New Dealers believe in a strong centralized government -SO strong that it borders on dictatorship- while the moderates and conservatives of both Democratic and Republican parties, believe in local responsibility, initiative of action and administration.
That sort of division is finding its way through all our governmental, economic and social thinking textures. Madison township in Cedar county is the first community of the state to organize a celebration of Constitution Day, of Sept. 7. That date is, if we understand correctly, the 150th anniversary of the adjourn. ment of the convention which framed the Constitution.
Madison township leads the way. Since its determination to thus celebrate has gotten under way, the Governor has called attention to the anniversary through a proclamation. Merle Thorpe says that few of us develop initiative or genius that leads pace to better experience or wider vision--and bemoans our treatment of men who have set the pace in advancement. He might have cited the case of Henry Ford, whom the CIO is trying to discipline and drive out of business with its "war fund" of $400,000. A.
J. MARTIN. STATE BANK OF GRANBY. OPENS FOR LIQUIDATION Following the granting of a temporary injunction on August 31, the State Bank of Granby was reopened on September 1, and is now engaged in liquidating its affairs. The injunction was directed by Circuit Judge Emory E.
Smith against C. W. Moberly, state commissioner of finance, and P. W. Henry, deputy, who were instrumental in closing the institution on Auguts 21, on the grounds that there was "insufficient volume of business for two banks to operate in a town the size of Granby." A bond in the amount of $20,000 was executed with R.
Underwood, C. C. Kelly, A. G. Kelly and W.
A. Hendon as securities. The petition asking for injunction stated that the bank has total resources of $77,961.52, including cash in the amount of that the bank has sufficient assets to pay off all liabilities, including $10,000 stock, $10,000 surplus and $6,993.75 undivided profits; that the bank has no obligations or debts, except to depositors. When the bank closed the deposits were reported as $51,000. It is understood that the injunction move was made because the officers of the bank felt that it could' liquidate its affairs at much less expense and with less delay than could the state finance department.

U. Musser, retired August 30, from service on the M. A. railroad, on 60 per cent pay, after having served 30 years and being 65 years of age. Mr.

Neosho's share amounts to 272.61. Another payment will be made in March. The first apportionment of last year was only 34 per cent, so the increase of this one is gratifying.

TRUCK DRIVER DIES IN CRASH ON ROUTE 71 Winston Stanphill, driver of an oil transport truck, was instantly killed about 5 o'clock last Monday morning at the Green Spot, miles southwest of Neosho on highway 71, when his truck veered from the road, crashed into an electric power line pole and turned upside down.
He was pinned underneath the car and it was two hours before wreckers on the scene were able to lift the overturned truck from his body. Stanphill had left Joplin early Sunday morning for Cleveland, to get a load of gasoline and oil for the Peerless Oil Company of Neosho. Coming back on highway 60, with which it is said he was not familiar, he had apparently turned south instead of north at the junction a mile west of town. Although the cause of the accident will probably never be known, the belief was expressed that he might have dozed and allowed the fast moving truck to veer into the light pole. Stanphill was 21 years old, formerly of Green Forest, and had been driving the oil truck only a few days.
His (body was taken to Monett, where funeral services were held Wednesday. Two highway patrolmen were on the scene in a short time after the accident and directed the removal of the body, also kept the traffic moving on account of the danger of the broken electric wires and the spilled gasoline, TERRACES CONSTRUCTED WITH LOW COST About 8000 feet of terraces were made on the Dow Moore farm 6 miles northwest of Diamond, by a road maintainer Friday and Saturday, September 3 and 4.

These terraces when finished had a base width of 20 feet and a height of 18 inches or more. If Mr. Moore's soil-building base is large enough to give payment for his 8000 feet of terraces the terracing of the 30 acre field will cost him exactly $3.00. If the SCDA Program pays him 40c for each hundred feet of terfaces he has, Mr Moore will be paid $32.00 and the cost of building the terraces was $35.00. A GRACIOUS GIFT TO THE NEOSHO PUBLIC LIBRARY One of the nicest gifts the Neosho public library has received was brought here this week by Mr.
and Mrs. George Allee of Kansas City. Four boxes of books, a total of 122 volumes, were presented the library by these people. The books were formerly owned by the late Mr. and Mrs.

SAYMAN DEAD Dr. T. M. Sayman, millionaire soap manufatcurer of St. Louis, died at this home in that city this week at the age of 84.
Dr. Sayman was one of the last of the old-time medicine show men, and there are a great many people in Neosha who will remember when he made regular visits here with his large wagon, usually drawn by a splendid team of horses, and from a platform iluminated by gasoline torches, gave a medicine show with two or three darkies for several nights in the week, after which he would place Negro George or Bony Emmerson on the stage and give an illustration of what his famous soap, made of herbs and vegetables, would accomplish in the way of cleaning the scalp of a Negro or any other individual, which he recommended as a sure cure for most any and all ailments which beset the human body. The Doctor would then place his wonderful decoctions before the public and, as a rule, when he left town a large majority of our people had enough soap in their home to last for several weeks. For many years Dr. Sayman'9 headquarters were at Carthage, but around 1901 he moved' to St.
Louis and located a factory in that city, where he grew richer and richer as his products were placed in most of the drug and grocery stores of the country. For the past ten years he has had many legal battles and developed a disposition of having his own way, law or no law. Several years ago he purchased the Roaring River park in Barry county and gave it to the state. In the old days when he visited Neosho he claimed that his soap would wash away anything but sin, and one of his famous testimonials he frequently read was: "Dear Doctor: Best wishes for your happy birthday. I sure think your salve is the best on the market.
A street car ran over my cat and cut off its tail. I applied the salve to the tail and a new cat grew on it." 73,430 RECEIVED OLD AGE PENSIONS FOR AUGUST George I. Haworth, acting social security administrator announces that 73,430 persons received old-age pesions for August, averaging $12.72 per person, and representing total payments of $932,712, or an incresae of $22,671 ovey July. Miss Reba Choate, assistant oldage assistance commisioner, estimated, however, that the checks would average $16 to $18 by the by the end of the year. During August 1,790 new names were added to the old-age assistance rolls, while 1,492 were removed by death and other causes, Haworth announced.
Adjustments were made in 2,614 cases. As soon as the re-investigation work of the commission can be speeded up with a -larger force, the amount of assistance checks will be increased, it is said..
