Members of the legislature feel that some of the criticism levelled against them is in error, particularly concerning economy.

The slogan that Save Millions with Miller has not been just a slogan was pointed out by them as they said bills have been put through the legislature to saVe the state at least $9,000,000 to $10,000, 000 a year under the living expenses of the state during the Graves, Administration. They said that this figure did not take into consideration additional amounts which have been saved through salary cutting which should run into at least a halfmillion annually, C. L.

From the very outset they had hit it off very badly with each otiier and now they were openly at variance. McKen zie had said some very Insulting things to the older man with an insolence which verged upon the profane, and he had done so quite openly in the hearing of the other members of the class. I was trying to show him the bail manners, the rudeness, the poor breeding of such a procedure, but 1 was making little oi no headway.

BRAIN TEASERS With unexpected and dramatic suddenness so far as the general oublic is concerned came President Roosevelts request to the Congress for the granting of powers which would give the President in economic dictatorship to an that is unprecedented in this country. His proposal has a number of phases, but its principal fea-ure hinges on currency inflation.

The President would decrease the gold reserve behind each unit of money and permit the issuance of 53,000,000,000 of new currency in an attempt to revive prices, which Mr. Roosevelt believes to be the major need of the moment. The Federal Reserve System would buy up to. $3, 000, 600,000 of government bonds at the same time, as a means of expanding credit. If the plan is authorized, it will naturally work drastic changes in the economic set-up of the country.

Coming at the time it does, it is especially striking in its application to the economic conferences between Mr. Roosevelt and the representatives of foreign governments, and in the influence it will have on his hitherto nncontested control of the Congress. The issuance of his statement marked the mobilization of the first organized and directed opposition to his emergency legislation. The following day four of the principal Congressional Republicans Senators Reed ajd Walcott, and Representatives Snell and Luce came out with a biting denunciation of the main aspects of the bill, holding that it violates the most elementary principales of economics. A few of the leading Congressional Democrats, including Senator Glass, Secretary of the Treasury under Wilson are reported as being in the opposition.

Democratic leaders, however, believe they have sufficient support to pass the measure. Opinion on the measure, aside fxom that of a political character, is mixed. Th press generally has been cautious in its comment, neither supporting nor opposing the proposal. Influence on security prices was marked, with stocks and bonds, in addition to various basic commodities, making substantial price gains. The Boston News Bureau reports that statements of industrial executives at annual corporation meetings have uniformly been of a more confident tone than for some time past.

Justification for this attitude is appearing in the business statistics. Raw materials, principally wheat and sugar, are showing price strength. The rise in commodity prices is gradual and is being well maintained. Electric power consumption figures for a number of consecutive weeks show marked betterment over last year. This is likewise true of carloadings Rapid trade expansion is not looked for until further adjustment in the credit structure has taken place, and this, in turn, waits upon additional thawing out of the banking situation.

But opinion is practically unanimous that the worst has passed, and the work of recovery actually begun. Conditions in various industries are: STEEL The middle of April found steel activities at a new high for 1933. RETAIL TRADE Most couraging in several years number of large cenlters. CONSTRUCTION Industry said to be thoroughly deflated. Increase in building activity anticipated.

LIFE INSURANCENew business appreciably under 1932 levels. LUMBER Generally speaking, orders are running well ahead of output. Most regions are showing increase in orders as compared with corresponding period last year MOTORS Automobile sales maintaining upward trend. COTTON Consumption increasing. RAILS Outlook continues ito be more encouraging, but profits are still at the vanishing point.

Two of the principal itopics which the Administration wishes to settle by international adtion are silver prices and control of wheat surplus. Efforts will be made to improve and stabilize price of silver as an impetus (to world trade. Present low silver prices have deprived half the worlds population of much of its baying power. The Interstate Commerce Commission will probobly be thoroughly reorganized. lit.

is reported that the fourteen bureaus within the Commission will be reduced to seven. Six bureaus will be transferred to the projected land transportation section of the Commerce Departments transportation division. One bureau valuation will probably be completely abolished, or at least much reduced in size. 3. In what battle was the cry raised Remember the Alamo? 4.
