A West Virginia editorial argues the 11th January session will stress economy amid state deficits. It links local school spending to major costs, warns teachers associations and trustees against waste, and urges state control to curb excessive contracts and levies while supporting the free school system.
The piece argues that state sovereignty cannot be sued over and boards of education should not bind tax power to contracts beyond taxpayers means. It urges legislative review of court decisions touching teacher contracts, warns against inflationary salaries, and calls for economy in state and local government to meet legislative intent.
The Morgantown Dominion News argues for reducing state waste by eliminating or consolidating unnecessary agencies and departments. It cites hospitals serving few counties, costly educational institutions, and suggests centralization, self funding, and transfer of duties to streamline government.
The West Virginia Medical Journal lauds Judge BH G Kump of Flkins elected governor for 1932 and set to assume office March fourth. It urges medical leaders to support his administration, noting his remarks on mental health and care, and calls for reform of the budget process and inauguration timing.
Arthur Brisbane writes a sharp column on repeal attempts of the 18th amendment and the political maneuvering around beer legislation. He notes the House defeat of Garner's resolution, hints at an extra session, and comments on Roosevelt and party pledges amid Wall Street fever. The piece also surveys public reaction to a German march, Einstein’s passport case, and armament talks, with brief travel and fashion notes closing the page.
McIntyre Day by Day reports on Jenn Golden’s successful season opener with a sharp, clean production style. The piece notes Golden’s knack for turning ordinary talent into engaging theater, plus a quick digression into The Playground casino-like venue and a colorful anecdote about Will Rogers avoiding securities. The column juxtaposes Broadway stars and Wall Street satire in a lively, period voice.
The Washington Bystander weighs two main obstacles facing the Democratic program as Congress convenes the 72nd session. Hoover veto power and Senate resistance loom, but the party, with large majorities, may still push a budget and reform plans through while hoping for a smoother March 4 transition. A note on strategic choices suggests Republicans may prefer stabilizing gains over risking the whole program in a new, heavily Democratic Congress. In Oregon, the ballot battle shifts amid veteran turnout and candidate listings.
Readers are invited to request a grafology bulletin from The Gazette Washington Bureau. The notice explains handwriting study as a non mystical science to analyze character, offers a coupon for Dept. 211, and asks for five pennies postage. It lists questions and answers confusion about places, dates, and terms in a wide quiz style.
A discussion favors sunlight as a cure aid for disease, detailing Dr Rollier’s work on surgical tuberculosis and joint tuberculous cases. It notes gradual sun exposure helps pain relief and mobility, but warns against sun for lung tuberculosis and endorses continued orthopedic supports. An editor adds promotional note offering Dr Cleusening pamphlets for 10 cents plus SASE.
A reflective essay discusses how long inactivity can numb the body and mind. It likens sitting motionless to sleep, noting tingling when blood flows return and the mind’s awakening with new effort. It cites Thorrgu and a speaker praising living deeply and enduring trouble to uncover inner power.
The piece critiques radical young men who seek attention in their professions by flashy, ridiculous acts. It argues they rely on novelty to advance and must display notable talent to stand out, though their performances may seem excessive.
