Projects to Be RELOCATED.


OF tho sal building operations now
on the program Of the office of the SUI
pervising architect for the Treasury
Department. FIVE out of six will be rel
exated TO a future consideration that
may be indefinite. Large communities
like New York and Chicago. which
produce enormous revenues many times
over that Of all the other communities
in their respective states, will be on
the program for adequate accommoda-
lions as a paying investment bringing
back fair revenue.
A sky-scraper for Chicago is one OF
the suggestions under consideration.
This Is an economical consideration
which Ia not intended. however, to be
a sacrifice of efficiency to saving OF
money. There is strong suspicion on
the part of the federal authorities that
a sky-scraper post office-meaning less
expenditure for ground area in crowd
ed communities where realty is cost
Twill be found acceptable to those
who use the facilities OF the post
ONCE.
There Is also a strong conviction that
such q policy of economy and efficiency
even IL 1t does disturb some OF the
results of the activities of members OF
CONGRESS is securing building appropri-
ations for small comunities-will have
the endorsement Of Congress. There Is
need for economy In government ex-
penditures at this time when federal
revenues are less than expenditures.
As a means Of meeting the end of rails
ing revenue. any proposition Tor the
lowering Of expenditures Is expected to
relieve the situation to just that extent
to which 1t is effective.
II 10 not to be the policy OF the Treas
ury Department to curtan the con-
struction of public buildings. nor to
restrict or diminish the activities OF
the government service at any point in
hn hA p
partment is aiming as is to expend the
money appropriated for public build
ings with reasonable economy and in
those places where 1t will do the most
good.
Total Appropriations.
The total appropriations carried in
the public buildings act. approved
March 4. 1919. excluding all work not
placed cnder the control of the Treas
ury Department. amounted to sN.797.-
$50. These comprise the following au-
thorisations: Increase in limits of costs
Of buildings authorized in previous
be constructed on sites authorized in
previous acts. 1873: new sites and build
inEs. III; new sites only. 1872: extern
sfons to existing buildings. etc, %: a
total of sal operations.
OF the 303 new sites and buildings
probably $50 are in towns where there
probably 10 no use or excuse for a
building, and where the mere cost of
maintenance will exceed the total re-
csipts of postal revenues. One third the
sites authorised have already been Sc
lected at a saving Of more than $500. 900
under the amounts authorized for ex-
psndtture in congressional appropria-
tions.
For instance, there has been made an
appropriation of 81. 900 for the purcha Sc
Of . site for the town of Hodgenville
KY, which has a population of 744: a
similar amount for Paintsville. KY.

Situation in Other Cities.

What is true of Illinois is true Of nearly
every other state in the Union In New
York. for example. the postal receipts of
New York city are probably $100.000.o00.
The receipts of the forty-one post offices
in that state for which new buildings have
been authorized are s7,S36,975. In Mis-
souri, 100000 has been appropriated for
a new post Office in Kansas City. In 1913
the postal receipts there were $2,639.495
Outside Of Kansas City and st. Louis
post offices have been authorized in thirty
seven communities, with gross postal re-
ceipts Of $695,432.
In many localities large appropriations
have been made for the construction of a
federal courthouse, in which the court is
held only a few days in each year. re-
naming unoccupied throughout the rest
Of the time AS opposed to that, the gov
eminent is paying s57,370.50 annually for
rental of federal court rooms in outside
buildings in cities where the need has
outgrown the inadequate buildings. In
New York city an annual rental of
$14,675 is paid for rooms in one Of the
skyscrapers.

Deserving Places to Get Aid.

So the policy now will be to subor-
dtnate-even to Experimentation
building projects where the revenues
or needs of the community do not JUS
tify such expenditures and the concen-
trstion of the inadequate facilities of

Of the Treasury Department In plan
ming, developing and accomplishing the
facilities needed in the deserving larger
communities where the increased Ia
entities will do the most good
The government authorities cannot
divert appropriated money from the
useless projects to those more deserv-
ing; but. as the architects once is
now oyerworked, IL can concentrate on
the work regarded as worth while in
the public interest. And that Is what

The Outflow of Money


A car of wheat was shipped
yesterday from Marked Tree,
Ark, to Memphis. 1t was the
first car load of wheat ever
shipped from Marked Tree. An
other car of wheat was shipped
yesterday from Arcola, Miss,
to Memphis.
This wheat will be ground into
flour and the flour will be sold
to the people in the Memphis
territory. ss
It is about time something like
this was being done in other
lines of agriculture and manu-
featuring. Once the wagon and
carriage industry hourished in
the south. Wagons and carriages
are now giving way to auto
mobiles and automobile trucks.
There is not an automobile truck
factory nor an automobile factory
in the south. AS much money
is going out of the south for au-
tomobiles and automobile trucks
as formerly went out for flour.
"A Memphis banker told the
writer that there was no day in
the year that passed that he did
not make a tremendous remit
lance to the north for hay. grain
and foodstuff.
The picture show business is
the latest Taper of southern
money. Five thousand dollars
goes from Memphis every week
to a film corporation in New
York. All the film corporations
are in the north. All the profits
from picture show supplies go to
the north.
The south will either have to
90 into manufacturing or form a
trust and be able to fix and con-
troll the price of its cotton.

CROP CONDITIONS

The last report from the cot
ton crop issued by the CONNER
cial Appeal gatheree from CORE
spondents from every section OF
country shows that since the last
report issued by that paper there
had been a marked deterioration
in the plant, due to dry weather
and cool nights in some sections.
During the month of July there
was but little rain throughout
the cotton belt and the plant
shriveled and shed its fruitage
under the parching rays OF the
sun. Lowlands and well culti-
waited lands did not suffer SO
badly, but upland crops were
materially damaged and in many
cases beyond the possibility Of
another crop being put in.
This immediate territory SUI
fered in common with the dry
section but so much of our crop
being on low land this county
did not suffer the damage sus-
tanned in many upland districts.
Corn also suffered greatly and
many fields were fired for lack
of rain just at the time when
moisture was necessary to I'LL

however, continues to give prom

The commander in chief of the
Russian army is following the
tactics employed by his country
a hundred years ago when Ma
poleon was decoyed as far east
as Moscow when his army was
turned upon and destroyed dur
ing the rigors of a Russian Win
ter. Russia is more able to give
up territory than she is men and
if Germany continues to advance
the next winter will find her
army in a territory where fight
ing will be impossible and the
base of supplies too far removed
to supply the necessary NUM-
tons.

The apprehension of Senator
J. Ham Lewis that at the close
of the war all the money OF the
world will be in the United
States will not become general.
Few of us are feeling the effects
of the steady stream of gold now
pouring into this country. The
gun and ammunition manufac-
turer and the provision producer
are in line and are getting a full
share, but the producer of cotton
must stand in wait until a means
is provided of landing our car
goes in the harbors of those who
want to buy and have the money
to buy with.

TINE A

The primary election held
August 3D. to nominate candi-
didates for the various offices
of the state, county and district
passed off quietly. In this Sec
ton of the state, and especially
in this county, we had the quiet
est campaign and election ever
known. The various speakers
failed to arouse much enthusiasm
and the voters went to the polls
and quietly registered their
choice for the separate offices.
Around the governorship the
greatest interest was conferred
and resulted in the nomination
of Theodore G.. Bilbo, of Poplar
vile, as the nominee by a major
ity of 1,073 over four worthy
candidates. In this campaign
there was at times considerable
acrimony, but now that the fight
is over the various candidates
gracefully submit to the will of
the people and accept the result
in the best Of humor. sMr. Rely,
who ran second in the race,
promises to in every way aid the
next governor in every effort
that he may make looking to the
material advancement and pros
perity of the state. MIR. Reilly
telegraphed Mr.. Bilbo saying:
Il shall at all times stand ready
to do everything in my power to
enable you to give to the people
of Mississippi an administration
that shall rebound to the honor
of Mississippi and benefit of her
people"
After being declared the NOM
inee, Mr.. Bilbo said: In real
izing my ambition of boyhood
days ito be governor of my native
state am more determined than
ever that my administration
~ be-he and
purest we have ever had. am
going to be governor of the
whole people. | fought the op-
position fairly out in the open,
and have whipped them. | am
willing to bury the Ratchet, and
| want to do some real construct
i've work for our beloved state.
. We need much remedial
legislation, much progressive and
aggressive activities, we need
more railroads, more factories,
more agricultural high schools,
more good roads. more CONSOLE
dated schools. We can accom-
plish all these things through
harmony and cooperation for
the good of the commonwealth"
The people of the state have
grown weary of the fractional
politics that have torn the state
for the past eight years. They
feel and know that the states
material interest has suffered on
account of this factionalism.
Whatever. the new administra-
ton may offer to relieve the en-
barrassments of the past will be
accepted gladly by the people
and in every worthy effort that
Mr.. Bilbo may make in the in
terest of the people he will find
them ready to hold up his hands
and endorse him.
We need a business admins
tration, the people are crying for
it and the legislature to be elect
ed and the chief executive should
work in harmony to bring about
a change in the states affairs
that will rebound to the welfare
of all.
