expanding huge sums in an effort to
get free publicity from the newspa-
pers. Iowa newspapers have com
mented on this matter recently, and
this expenditure represents .xtrava-
gance, Or waste. At a time when
newspaper space is at a premium,
when the cost of publishing newspa-
pers is at the highest point yet
reached, when the demands upon
newspaper space never were so great,
the government is unloading a perfect
deluge Of publicity material upon
newspaper offices. 1t ought to occur
to the men responsible for this deluge
that no newspaper, even with the
o generous intention, could pub
lish ever a small portion Of it. The
small weekly newspaper is not able
to even skim the surface of it. The
consequence is that the government
is u~selessly %burdening the mails and
is daily feeding thousands of waste
baskets with material which repre-
SCENTS money expended for salaries,
paper and other incidcntals. There
seems to be no thought Of economy
at Washington in this matter. No
private enterprise could afford to be
so ~extrayagant. Equal ~prodigality on

the part Of private enterprise newt
ably would result in bankruptcy. If
the government would strike a bal
ance, if it would compare the public
ity actually received with its ultimate
cost, it would discover that it is pay
ing an extravagant price. The gov
eminent would be money ahead, and
it would get more real publicity, IL
it would buy space at the regular ad-
vertising rates. Printers who know
what paper and printing cost are ap-
palled by the wastefully extravagant
methods of the government. The
Overlooking newspaper waste baskets
are a standing indictment of the pres
ent method, and at the present time,
when the government is spending such
huge sums on account of the war, they
convict the government not alone of
extravaganza, but of folly and lack of
common prudence.

How VIII We pay MeAdoor

Washington.-How will Director
General OF Railroads McAdoo be paid
when he relinqulshes his place on the
pay roll OF the government as secre-
tary OF the treasury on Tuesday De-
cember II. The law says that no one
may receive two salaries from the gov
eminent. That is why he received no
salary as director general OF the rail-
roads and has had only his cabinet
salary.
The law also says no one may serve
the government without compensation.
That is why there have been dollar-a-
year men In Washington. Regional d.
rectors under the director general re-
ceIve salaries of $4,000 a year, fixed
by the director general.
In the absence of any specific appro-
priation by congress, II Is understood
that the presidents broad powers un-
der the railroad act win allow him to
fix a salary. Whether that salary will
be dollar or $4,000 year is entirely
