Charles NJ. Schwab. the steel mag
nate, who recently sailed for New York
from London. thinks the great war will
benefit American industries wonder
fully by next spring. Already, he
points out, the steel mills. which were
working on part time or idle, have
started up full blast with many or
ders from abroad ahead. Other indus
tries have booked immense foreign or
ders in the same way. particularly in
the shoe and blanket trade. All this,
he declares. Is bound to boom things
in America unless some unforeseen
calamity forces the United States into
the war.

VOTING AGAINST CROP EXPERTS.
Davenport Times.l

In Woodbury. county, Iowa, IL APP
pears that an attempt vas made at the
recent election to have the voters APP
prove some plan Of using public money
for the employment OF a crop expert
and that while the city voted in favor
OF the proposal the farmers voted two
TO one against II. The vote cast by the
farmers, it now appears. was based on
Misrepresentation In regard to what a
crop expert was expected to do. 1t
seems that the farmers who opposed
the plan believed 1t would be the busi-
ness OF a crop expert to set standards,
to tell the farmers what they must do.
the kind OF seed they must use and
how they must take care Of their herds.
Under the circumstances the farmers
quite naturally voted to maintain their
independence. Sioux City papers are
now trying to explain that the crop ex-
pert's service was to be merely in the
form OF advice. that he was to be con-
suited only when the farmer wished to
consult him. and that 1t was not in
tended in any way to thrust . new
overload upon the farming community.
The Sioux City Commercial Club quite
naturally is disappointed. but II the
club viii write to Davenport or send
someone here to investigate. 1t will be
found that Scott county maintains q
crop expert largely by voluntary do
nations II Woodbury. county city men
and farmers will cooperate in this
way for a time, 1t Is quite likely that
after q few years. the farmers will not
only clearly understand the mission of
the crop expert but Will be so enthus-
iastically in favor OF retaining him that
there will be no opposition to pro-
posal to pay him from the county
funds, II such step is considered adj
yisable.

A COMPETITION IN SPENDING.
Twaferlon rnurier

Wha, Chief Durham of the local
fire department said thru Saturdays
Courier and Reporter regarding the ex-
penditure of finances Is worthy OF some
serious thought by those interested in
maintaining a city government on an
efficiency basis.
The chief made plea for the budget
system OF appropriations. His point
was that each department should be
apportioned sum and that each
should be charged with producing a
service as efficient as possible within
that limit. A, present the heads of
departments vie with one another TO
secure ali they can. knowing full we'll
that II they don't the other fellow will.
The distribution OF funds thus becomes
competition in spending rather than
competition in economizing.
And year after year this extravagant
system goes on accommodating an ex-
penditure which, il directed econo-
m!cally and wisely, would pay for much
needed improvements in other lines or
reduce the city tax levy.
Is not the time ripe for business
efficiency system?

truth.
These officers are paid from profits"

the difference between the cost OF the
