We must pay them as they come due, or repudiate, and re|)udiation is hell, whether that is ,a polite word or not. It is not to be said of this state that it will destroy its honest credit. But with a lout with a gigantic handicap that must be overcome at the 1 start. We can’t reduce that ex- lish credit is fo pay the debts and get rid bf them. The only way to pay debts is to cut ex penses and work like thunder and economize.

Mr. Wick er’s questions have served a good purpose, that of bringing to the attention of the people a matter that has bothered the county govemment seriously for some time, yet which has mov ed as swiftly probably as it Senators Morrison and Bailey have fiery Senator Huey Long to thank for two good committee assignments this week.

What to do with the millions of old cars .I'unked in this coun try yearly is almost as much of a question as to who we will shift our taxes on when we get hardly to be believed that the country is to die from suffoca tion by being buried under the steadily increasing automobile junk.
