He consistently argued that European war was prob- able, and that this country could not but be deep- ly concerned therein. He denied later that he had ‘placed our frontier in France,’ as one Senator #s- serted, But that is a detall. Mr. Roosevelt wag ever- lastingly right in his general forecast, as the whole country is today belatedly and reluctantly coming to perceive” An exchange tells of a Harrisburg woman who was so pleased with her purchase of elght napkins and a tablecloth from two door-to-door salesgirls that she proudly displayed them to her neighbors and boasted of the bargain she had ob ained-—-only $11 for the lot.

The Governor explains it as a pPro- cess of transferring idle money from idle funds Communities are told not to worry because all the money filched from them this year will be repaid sometime during June, 1941-—provided the next legislature can find a way of doing It. With these circumstances staring each taxpayer in the face, the Johnstown Democrat, a dally newspaper, sug- gests that we hand foxy Mr. James his own medi- cine. Let's proceed to offset accounts owed by the county to the state by the money it owes the county Por example, the county must pay the state a fixed charge for every criminal from Centre county now confined in any of the state penitentiaries. We must also pay the keep of the criminal insane and for the insane who are not criminals and who are confined in varfous state institutions Therefore, the county owes the state and the state owes the county Why not proceed to offset one account against an- other? Instead of paying the commonwealth for the care and keep of our criminals and our insane, why not keep the money and give the commen. wealth credit. The Governor said his fund- juggling was just a matter of book-keeping. That being the case. it should be quite possible for the county to indulge in the same kind of book-keeping opera- tions.
