"To fulfill these three requirements. I ask a continuation of the support you have so unselfishly given in the past." Discussing "inequalities" between ndtwtry and agriculture, O'NenI said that "adequate credit rates and erms" must be given farmers.

He added that the farmer "must be reed from the usury which keep ilm in debt from one season to the next and makes him virtually the slave of his creditors." As to the monetary system, the speaker advanced trie opinion that "our dollar is still too dear In relation to commodity and property values to function a faitmedium of exchange." ah's version of the quarrel which led to tho complaint against the boy is that the young parents couldn't get along together and that Pauline de- c.ded Saturday "wanted to go home to mamma."

In our banks today there is approximately a billion and a half idle dollars. This money Is doing the banks no good. Idle dollars arc not better than Idle men and they must also be cm- ployed to become an asset.

"It is believed that through the National Housing act a major portion of these idle dollars can be put to work repairing the homes of the nation and thus giving employment to millions of idle workers. If this is done the benefits will rcaeh into every line of business In every community.

Powers, Demo-j cratic state auditor-elect and for-: mer Saline county treasurer, because' of an alleged shortage in his county i records, was recommended by Rol-1 and Boynton, attorney general, in ail letter today to Bryan J. Hoffman Saline county attorney.

Boynton's letter was written after he had examined an auditor's re- port on the condition of the county I treasury which disclosed a shortage of $3.551.71. The attorney general said it was his opinion the audit! "discloses violations of the criminal 1 law by Mr. Powers" and that in his: Judgment "these violations should be prosecuted by the local officers in' the same manner as other criminal' cases are prosecuted," A suggestion that the county em-j ploy as a special prosecutor lawyer not involved at all in matter was made by Boynton who, said "in this way the case can be' handled entirely on its merits with-' out regard to politics." Powers previously had given as i the reason for the shortage an ill-j ness which confined him to a hos-j pltal and made it impossible ion him to be in his office dally. He; said that a new accounting system.) had been Installed in the office and) that two clerks who Joined him in i repaying a portion of the amount' had been discharged. Powers was elected state auditor! last November 6, defeating Will French, Republican, who has held', office for eight years.

He is to take office with other elective officials, at Topcka on January 14. i Boynton, although not in the city today, previously has said the mere i filing of a charge against Powers' would not act as a bar to his taking office although should a state officer be convicted of a felony while) in office, a vacancy likely would be created. The constitution provides that in! event a constitutional state officer "shall be impes Jlieii displaced oe shall resign or die. or otherwise become incapable of performing the duties of the office," the governor; should fill the vacancy "until the disability is removed or a successor Is elected and qualified." Powers is the first Democrat to oust a Republican from a minor state office in Kansas, and was one of two Democrats elected to minor! state office In Kansas last Janu-T ary. The two.

Powers and W. Markham, state superintendent of: public instruction, were the first! Democrats to be elected to miner' state office, but Markham had been' holding his office the past two years by appointment. No Comment by rowers. Salina, Dec. 10 J.
