SHORT "a BILLIONS

Ii never rains but 1t pours. The
treasury of the United States after the
billions voted in taxes, provided in
bonds, squeezed out Of the people by
various measures and methods, still
faces deficit Of ~ billion dollars,
according to statement made by
Representative Good. chairman Of the
House committee on appropriations
yesterday.
Three and one-half billion short!
That amounts to three and one-half
times the normal expenses Of the
government in peace times, and it is
in addition to the y billions already
appropriated and spent for running
the government this year. 1t equals
an amount, as pointed out by Chair
man Good, of ten times the normal
expenses Of peace times.
The country has stood amazed at
the lavishness of the government dur
ing the last three years 1t kept its
temper and gave its money during the
war even though it saw waste and
profigacy on every hand. The people
knew that the perfectly good dollars
it was pouring into the national
treasury were buying about thirty
cents worth Of efficiency, but the war
had to be won, and it was no time
to hesitate simply because the govern
ment was being mismanaged.
But there was. generally speaking,
the supposition that the immense
revenues being raised would be sufti-
Gent The country had no idea that
in the end it would be called upon to

SUPPOSE FARMERS STRIKE.

The farmers keep their heads when
all others fly Off the track. We ask
city workers to ponder a moment
what might happen If the farmers
should do what the workers are do
ing-demanding shorter hours AMI
higher pay. The farmers are their
own bosses so they would not have to
quarrel with anybody. They could
hold out on strike until they got good
and ready, for they can feed them
selves.
You working city fellows, suppose
for a moment that the farmers adopt
ed the eight hour day. 1t would cut
down production at least half. Sup
pose they also set a price on their
labor and their products based on an
eight hour basic scale. Where would
you get your food? only the rich
could buy 1t at all, for the price would
be prohibitive to men on strike. II
the cost of living is too high now, how
will lessened production affect 1t?
How will increased cost of production
bring prices down? You live now
because the farmers have gone in pro-
ducing, working nearer sixteen hours
day than eight hours. You can buy
food because the farmers have not
gone on strike, have not ceased to pro-
duce, have not cornered the market
and said, 1--WE demand so much for
our products or we won't work. "
If you city workers expect the
farmers to go on feeding you at the
old price you have got to get back to
work at the old wage and make II
possible for the farmer to buy cheaper
so he can produce cheaper This Is
not one-sided game, II takes two
to play 1t and If you city fellows quit
don't get sore if You go hungry soon
Either the farmers must do as you are
doing. shorten the hours and demand
higher pay, or else You must lengthen
the hours and produce more without
more pay.
The farmers have been patient with
you. When they lose their patience,
look out You have already taken
their help. If they quit, too who Is
going to feed you. What city work
ers have in common with farmers Is
not so much political as economic.
What are you going to do about 1t?

HAPHAZARD WASTE.

The waste of six million dollars in
George Creel's publicity bureau is not
surprising. 1t was one of the Won
ders of the war why the government
was spending so much money for fool
publications and every paper warned
the government about without
avail.
As an instance, take the four min
ute speakers, which was also a joke.
The chairman here was notified that
he would receive parchment diploma
for his strenuous efforts. He replied
that it need not be sent and that the
cost could be given to the Red Cross.
Other departments were as bad.
Enough literature was sent for the
Liberty Loan campaigns to plaster
the county-much Of 1t could not be
used. One Abilene woman who tho
active in other war work was not con-
nected with the Liberty Loan drive
received a medal and acknowledge
ment Of her services. Another man
received this week two page letter
Of thanks for the successful celebra-
ton" in Dickinson county of an event
that was never celebrated here at all
in any way-but it ended with re
quest to keep up the organization
and try to collect a dollar from every

Sometimes we think there should

throng down at Washington that is

gone dippy on the matter.

The Farmers National Congress,
which has just spoken so strongly
against exOrbitant labor demands IL
supposed to represent more than three
million farmers. One OF the organi-
cations which joined to compose II
was a remnant Of the old Farmers
Alliance after that body went to
pieces as a political organization. It's
constituents are the more prosperous
ana alert among agrlculturists, North
and South. Its denunciation OF eX-
IRENE labor demands follows similar
declarations by other agricultural
bodies. and Is accompanied by wide
spread agitation Of the same tenor IN
the farm press. As the farmer sees
II. the prices Of the commodities he
has 10 sell are sure to fall, and those
OF most articles he has to buy are
all too likely To remain as high As
ever. He resents the demands Of In
bor for larger and larger reward as
food prices at primary markets are
already dropping. He sees the shorter
day and lessened production brought
into many plants by well-organized
labor. while through his own lack OF
organization his comparatively long
workday ana effort mt maximum pro
duction will continue as during pre-
ylous years. Passing resolutions VIII
effect nothing. The question Is, what
will be the next step of farmers II
their alleged grievance continues?
They have political power, and Their
power to move collectively increases
as fast as the membership OF farm
bureau declarations and other bodies.

ASSOCIATED Pres.)

Boston. oct. Refusal Of Alex
ander Howat, president OF district
fourteen United Mine Workers, to ne
gotlate with the Southwest Coal op-
orators association means that Kan
sas will have TO meet the threatened
strike Of miners along lines proposed
by the government, Governor Allen of
Kansas said today. lie asserted that
the offer Of operators to negotiate for
a new contract for the Kansas dis
trict Independent of the action Of
other fields. made through his office
to Howat, was thoroughly sincere.
Topeka. oct. 3l.-An all day con
ference in Governor Aliens office to-
day developed some progress toward
the settlement Of the coal strike for
Kansas, but there is little hope that
the walkout In the Kansas fields
would be averted tonight At
the conference today James Sherwood
state mine inspector, and John Craw-
ford, state labor commissioner, par
ticipated, together with other repre-
sentatives Of the state labor depart
ments.
Kansas finds itself in the situation
OF being only the tail to the kite so
far as its connection with the strike
is concerned Neither the operators
nor the miners have much to say
about a settlement of the general con-
troversy. The quarrel is between the
miners and the operators of what is
known as the central competitive dis
trict, composed of the bituminous
fields of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa.
Washington, Oct 31.-An execu-
tive order fixing maximum prices on
bituminous coal was signed by Presi-
dent Wilson today. Prices Of Anthra-
cite are unaffected.
The maximum prices are fixed by
states and for prepared sizes and
vary from S460 a net ton at the
mine mouth to $500. The rules in
augurated during the war governing
margins and profits of middlemen and
wholesale retail dealers are reestab-
lished and Fuel Administrator Gar
field is given the authority to regulate
