GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Let every man who is tempted to
accept the arguments of government
ownership advocates remember this:
When the government computes it's
expenses Of operation it omits many
items of actual expense, particularly
of the character of what may be call
ed Overhead charges" For In
stance, in our postal service, the
postoffice department does not
charge itself with the rental value Of
public buildings it occupies, nor with
the expense of lighting, heating and
up-keep of such. buildings. de-
partment having charge of any public
service naturally desires to make 4
good showing in it's annual statements
so many of these items are not defin-
itely and specifically included in the
expense accounts. A private concern
cannot run a business on any such
plan and neither should the govern

Bavaria, the greatest beer drinking
country Of the world, where many Il
solid citizen normally drinks one to
two gallons daily. and where the great
beer halls are filed at almost all hours
of the day, Is in still worse plight.
The time in which beer may be sold
has been steadily shortened, and now
there has come an order permitting
saloons, beer halls, etc, TO sell beer
only from 10 to IL, 2 to and after
9 o'clock at night. Exceptions are
made in the case of beer dispensed in
factories to their workers. and by
farmers to their help No beer what
ever may be sold in Berlin until after
the wants of the Bavarian soldiers
have been supplied.
The scarcity is. of course. due to the
fact that the empire has had to limit
strictly the amount of barley which
can be turned into malt. This amount
has been fixed at so per cent of the
normal amount, but brewers interview
ed by the Associated Press corresponds
ent said they were not able to obtain
even this amount. An unforeseen
inroad has further been made into the
available amount Of barley by the fact
that the shortage of coffee has re-
Quired the roasting of great quantities
of barley as a substitute.
The German government has grant
ed the brewers permission to malt in
the second (current quarter of the
year the full quota of barley allowed
them for the third quarter. This will
rob hot summer days of some Of their
terror. but even at best, the supply
will be utterly inadequate.
