2148 Center Street, Feb. II.
Under such leafy boughsl as Shakes
peare must have had in mind when he
wrote the forest scenes of LAS You
and vagrant wind to lend vivid reality
to the picture, Ben Greet's company of
English players this afternoon gave a
unique production of the comedy.
deemed by many to be the finest of
Shakespeare's Plays.
The university campus served as the
setting for the production. Skies from
which came. soft light and sun were
the covering for the playhouse on the
campus, and all the life OF the forest,
in d measure, was drawn upon by Ben
Greet to produce the enchanting ef-
fects that attended his company's per-
fOrmance.
IN Strawberry Canyon the tempo
rary stage and amphitheater had been
arranged. and there throng of
play-lcvers gathered to greet the
player folk. The stage was apparently
nothing more than slight rise of
ground, hemmed III by oaks. with

The spectators had nothing to call
their minds from forest scenes and
could easily drift with the tide that
bore them into the land of Shakes
peare's imagination, where Jacques,
the melancholy, banded words with
tho love-sicll Orlando, jested with a
fool in motley. and made sport
of Audrey and her lover. Glimpses
of the old university buildings could
be had through the trees. and at inter
walls the striking of the great bell on
the campus spoke the passing of the
hours. but nothing dissipated the il
luSion.
Greet chose for himself the role of
Jacques, his Sonorous voice carrying
all Of that notable characters lines
to every part of the canyon. The Rosa
lind was Constance Crawley, a pretty
figure in doublet and hose, always per-
fectly in the picture. There was a good

Any one at all conversant with
the facts is fully aware that enough
public money is squandered every
year to more than twice make up
the deficit, yet very few people at
all familiar with governmental
affairs have any hopes that the
nations expenditures during the
next fiscal year will be any less than
they were in the past. The only
way economy can be secured is for
the people to demand economy in
such way the demand will be
acceded to.
The expenses of the government
can be classed under two heads,
civil and military. The military of
course including the army and the
navy. In the civil expense list one
of the heavy items is the River and
Harbor bill. At least onef-ourth
of the money appropriated by that
bill is wasted and another portion
is expended for state and private
benefit which it is not the function
of the government to perform.
Public Buildings is another item
of expense. Hundreds of buildings
are erected where the interest on
the cost of the same would pay
five times the cost of the rental of
ample quarters to transact all neces-
sary governmental business The

for the transportation of the mails
as they receive for similar services

+ Probably there is no way that the
army expenses can be materially
reduced but it is time to call halt
in the navy. 1t is now sufficiently
large to protect our own coast and

EXPENDITURES.

The matter of expenditure is one
that causes nations, states, munich
palities and Municipalities the
greatest concern. Whenever the
outgo exceeds the income of any
institution the most natural method
of meeting the deficit is to reduce
the expenses but this is the hardest
thing in the world to do, especially
in governmental matters. The
reason of this is because everyone
wants to reduce the expenses of
everyone else and cut down the
appropriations for the projects
others are interested in but when it
comes to his own ne bristles up like
terrier pup when a strange cat
enters his kennel.
Speaker Cannon has ultimated
economy, but it is safe to say. that
the expenses of the speakers Office
will not be reduced or that the
appropriations for public institu
tons in Danville Congressional
district will be cut down.
Congressman McCleary, fresh
from his European tour, demands
economy, but the country can rest
assured that none of the velvet
connected with the Committee on
Library, of which he is chairman,
will be sheared off. Not single
member of the House or Senate
will voluntarily consent to single
cent of reduction in any thing he is
personally interested in.
1t is mighty hard matter to
reduce official or governmental
expenses when every official is only
in favor of reducing the expenses

The expenses of the government
printing Office could be reduced one
third and no class of people or any
interest be injured.
Around the White House, in the
corridors of the House and Senate,
idling in the committee rooms and
hanging around all the different
departments are crowd of officers
and employees whose sole function
is'to look pretty and who are of no
use to the country or in any way
needful to the country's service and
whose salaries mount up into the
millions annually. No patriotic
citizen begrudges money enough to
pay liberal salary to every needed
official. No sensible citizen be-
lieves in using the peoples money
to pay funkeys to ape royalty,
supernumaries to pay off political
obligations or people to look pretty
unless they themselves are the ones
employed and get the money.
How would this do for plank
on expenditures for the next
national republican convention:

We AGREE WITH CONGRESS-
MAN McCLEARY-IN SOME
THINGS.

McCleary says that in his opinion
reduction Of expenditures can~be
made whereby the national deficit
can be met without increasing the
revenues, and we agree with him.
He adds, eff additional revenues
must be raised a plan occurs to me
by which money can be raised-re-
visions of the tariffs, imposition Of
a tax on bank checks, stocks, bonds,
patent medicines, etc., additional
taxes on whiskey, beer and tobacco,
tax on coffee, the revision of the
tariff is the last that would appeal
to me-"
Continuing Mr. McCleary says:
GA tariff on coffee would not in
crease the price to the consumers. 3"
The revision of the tariff is the
first that would appeal to us. We
are opposed to stamp tax because
the masses Of people who already
pay more than their share of taxes
would have to pay it, and because
it causes inconvenience and trouble
outside the amount of tax raised.
Any form of taxation that causes
inconvenience, outside the trouble
Of raising the tax, is bad taxation,
and should Gully be resorted to in
cases of necessity. Consumers of
liquor and tobacco now pay more
than one-half the expenses of run
ming the government. They would
probably pay it all rather than stop
using them, but it seems to us that
the wealthy consumers of other
unnecessaries of life ought to chip
into the revenue game before the
poor devils who smoke, chew and
drink be required to raise their ante
just because they are sinners.
Mr.. McCleary says tax on cof-
fee would not raise the price to the
consumer because the Brazilian
government in that case, would
remove the "export tax" How
does he know they would? A tariff
on coffee would be pure revenue
tariff.
If man can devise a scheme
whereby revenue tariff can be i'm
posed on commodity without
increasing the cost he has the
problem of governmental expenses
solved; all that is necessary to do
is to pile'on the tariff and relieve
us of all taxation.
1t is well known fact our pro-
tective tariff could be revised. The
price of commodities reduced to
consumers, a sufficient revenue pro-
duced to meet the deficit, and our
protective system not endangered
in the least. The s'stand patters"
control congress. Mr.. McCleary
wants to be chairman of the COM
mittee on Appropriations. He is
talking through a -megaphone to the
'sstand patters.
