How to Get Rid
of "POrk."

Economy has never been much OF
vote getting issue. The people an
grily denounce extravagant appro-
priations. At the same time they
DANGEROUSLY demand extravaganza in
their own districts. Congressman
know perfectly well that big pub
lie building in their own district will
bring them more votes than they
will lose by voting for log rolling
pork measure.
Political platforms all denounce
extravaganza. Then whichever party
goes in proceeds to increase the APP
preparations, the previous size of
which they attacked. No wonder
the weary voter regards party plat
forms as merely the modern form of
high class fiction.
OF course 1t is universally admit
ted that half of the public building
bill and half of the river and harbor
bill is pork, that the thing is ex-
travagant, full of propositions not
sound on a business basis. But 1t
will never be stopped until 1t be-
comes politically dangerous for Con-
gressmen' to back these bills. Now
it Is politically dangerous for them
not to scramble for their own share.
The people should be made to re-
alize that one item in the high cost
of living Is the high cost of govern
ment. AS long as the government
will incur an interest and expense
bill of $4,000 on a public building.
where rented quarters OF $1,000
would do perfectly well. the taxpay-
ers must foot the bill.
II the American people do not
want their money thrown away they
should condemn waste wherever
they see 1t. They should punish 1t
in their home town just as severely
as they condemn 1t at a distance.
II a project is uneconomically I'M
sound, the business men OF the To-
cality should protest against 1t.
When that spirit prevails. a great
many expenses will be cut. and the
ridiculous scandal of the present day
pork bills will disappear.

The Open Door for
Athletes.

Representatives OF the various col
leges have been holding heart to
heart talks at the New York con-
vention of the National College Ath-
letic Association. Some interesting
things came out.
There Is great competition for
promising athletes. They are feted,
flattered and courted. Jealous
agents solicit their attendance for
competing institutions OF learning.
In many cases the athletes get all
expenses paid. Bank accounts to
their order and dividends on the
profits of the team are among the
emoluments. 1t is no wonder that
boys are Interested in athletics.
No such rewards are offered the
superior student. No court OF soil
citors hangs around urging him to
grace their institutions by his pres
ence. No loyal university fans are
offering to pay his expenses. or
course there are scholarships. They

usually go only part way toward ex-
penses.
Conditions like the above were re-
garded as abuses by the college re-
representatives. in convention. Cour-
age was demanded in abolishing
them. But one suspects that the
college arrangements won't do much.
They have to meet the demands of
the times Just like the grocer or
the publisher. II the public will
pay Its good money to support ath-
letics. and will not pay It to support
scholarship. the college has to sup
] ply the demand.
These conditions could easily be
changed by giving an equal recogni-
ton to the industrious and success
full student. Some Of our rich men
should supply this lack. More lib
eral prizes for good study. generous
scholarships for original and con-
structive work. would revolutfonize
the spirit Of modern student bodies.
The young American is full Of the
spirit Of competition. When he sees
all the prizes going to skill in sport.
It is natural that his interest should
lie in that direction.

glitter Of myriad electric lights, the
display Of flashing electric signs,
luxurious store appointments. soft
hued and velvety carpets. an abund-
ance Of uniformed servitors. orches-
ira. piano and organ concerts. these
are few of the many effects on
which big city stores depend. They
unquestionably draw trade.
Yet the public has to pay for all
these things. They enter largely in
to the overhead charges Of big stor-
es. They make 1t expensive to buy
In those stores. When you add to
that the enormous cost Of rentals
in those stores. the big expense Of
high salaries employees necessary to
operate them, the costly systems Of
bookkeeping and supervision they
have to maintain. the overhead
charge is great mountain Of ex-
pense.
Against this we have the simpler
organization of such stores as exist
in our home town. Their sales are
relatively small. But their expense
account is a mere trife comparative.
ly. When you consider that the
home store does not dare work Off
second grade goods unless 1t tells
the customer just what they are.
the home prices are apt to be just
as low and are often lower.

you can buy goods right here at
home. less all these unnecessary and
futile charges.

Taxpayers Should Not
Be Deceived.

Taxpayers should not be deceived,
neither cajoled by the County Com
missioners. This is important to ev-
cry taxpayer. During the recent
campaign we called attention to
some glaring inequalities in taxation
This was looked upon as purely pol
ttical by some. and is looked upon
by some today. Some attributed our
course to Ex-Commissioner Olof
Cronquist, who took a decided
stand against the inability of the
present commissioners to deal out
justice to all. In justice to Mr.. Cron-
quist we state that such was not the
approve the course of Mr.. Cronquist
but we did it and We do it now sole
ly upon the record of the admins
tration. and without any recourse
to Mr.. Cronquist personally or Off
cially. Mr.. Cronquist was no crea-
ton of ours, we never supported
him for office, but when in office we
gave him our support in whatever
we thought was fair and right, just
as we are ready to do with the pre-
sent administration.
We stated some specific cases that
were grossly unjust and here and
now we declare that the figures Civ
en- were true. They are the record
OF the administration. OF course
it is hard for Assessors to do their
work right to the scratch all the
time, and that is the reason the law
provides county board of equaliza-
tion. 1t is also hard for a county
board to do everything to the
scratch, especially If taxpayers do
not call upon them and confer with
them concerning alleged inequalities
In fact county boards are not sup
posed to undo the work of assessors
unless there is protest, as we under
stand 1t, but where citizens appear
