%SOUANDERING TIME

No doubt the IL Democratic Senators who, under
the leadership of Senator johnson, Republican of Cali
fa.& ria, voted against the proposal of Senator Underwood,
Democrat, limiting debate during the war, appreciate. as
keenly as other Americans the Importance of economy
in social and industrial life, says the New York Herald.
Yet men, money, food, fuel and clothing are not all that
is involved in the great necessary scheme Of saving so
that national energies may be kept at their maximum.
There is such, a thing as time, and it is one of our most
valuable, If least considered possession. Debate without
limit in the Senate has needlessly cost the people of the
United States hundreds Of millions of dollars since we
declared hostilities a year ago last April. The long
drawn-out discussion of the Food-Control Bill last sum-
mer, for example, gave spectators an unwarranted lease
Of life, and according to Mr.. Hoover's estimate, put $780,
100000 a month into their pockets for several months.
Other war measures of importance have been delayed in
like fashion at great public expense. We are making
laws, national and state, to compel service of one kind Or
another, all founded upon the truth that waste of time
and energy is waste of money, and that, in the necessity
now upon us Of meeting the enemy in full strength, loss
Of time may mean loss Of liberty. Yet a Democratic
Senate led by reacuonary Republicans holds fast to tradi-
tons of unlimited gable which squander time, patience,
power and taxes.

ANOTHER BATCH OF PEACE TERMS

There is no need for excitement over any peace pro-
posal that comes from the German empire, but the war;
ious announcements that. come from Berlin have their
interest as indicating something Of the frame of mind of
the powers that be in Germany. The latest declaration
Of what Germany wants comes from a member of the
Reichstag, and. whatever else may be said about it, ex-
cessive modesty is certainly not one of its defects.
In brief, the demand is for the cession to Germany
Of all the possessions that she ever had, and of whatever
she may choose to demand in the future, together with
the payment by the Allies of Germany's entire, war cost,
amounting to some forty-fiv billion dollars.
Those terms may as well be offered by Germany as
any others. for the German government cannot today Of
fer to the Allies any terms which they will accept. The
terms which the Allies will demand, and those on which
they will insist. could, Of course, as a physical possibility,
be offered to the German government at any. time. But
the moment such terms were offered, the, German gov
eminent would cefse to exist, for to offer them would
be such a confession of failure and defeat that the ex-
plotted and deceived populace would Immediately rise
and overturn the government which had made such gilt

The problem of bringing the manless la

the problem OF bringing the nanless land to the
landless man will be solved if an experiment now under
way in California proves successful. That State is now
carrying out a great colonization project near Chico
along lines which may lead to adjustment. Briefly, the
plan is this. as described by the San Diego Herald: The
State not only will provide settlers with small farms, but
win erect for them a simple though modern rural home,
barns etc, and will allow the settler to pay for these on
q favorable instantnent plan. Subdivisions already have
been made for hundreds Of applicants, and the plan is
well toward being carried out. The building projects on
these tracts will be managed under the supervision of
the California State Land Settlement Board. The appli-
but he is given Is to 80 years in which to pay for the
balance. The prime requisite is that the applicant be q
loyal, patriotic citizen Of the United States not holding
agricultural land IN any other part OF the State. To
put the plan into execution the State has purchased 5000
acres Of land. The State plans to invest at least $5oo,o 900
IN the project at the start.

RECLAIMING ARMY CLOTHING

Six million garments from the United States Army

out clothing has gone incontnently into the rag bag.
But the vastness of our present organization has made
need Of economy more imperative and its measure more
apparent. Our government is wise in taking the step in

is thorough there will be no way by which the ordinary
will be able to identity them as secondhand"
