Dollars and Efficiency

Thirty years ago we had the first
"Billion Dollar" Congress. The ap-
preparations for 189O-'91 and for
1891-'92 ran slightly over a billion.
A shout of protest arose. Speaker
Thomas B. Reed answered it by COIN
ing the phrase: "This is a billion
dollar country"
For several years before the war
we had, not billion-dollar Con-
crosses, but billion-dollar sessions
Of Congress. The government had
more than doubled it's expenditures
Of the ZOOS, the years of the
Spanish War excepted. Then the
great war came and the lid blew
skyward. For the first year Of peace
Secretary Glass's estimates total
about $5,o00,00O,000.
This figure includes $1,000, 100000
for interest on the public debt--a
part Of which will be offset, either
now or later, by interest on the loans
made to our allies. According to Mr..
Glass's calculations the army will
cost s1,O0o,o0O,00o and the navy
about S500,000,000.
More than half Of our outlay is
thus direct legacy Of the war, for
the Shipping Board is asking S448,-
100000 with which to wind up it's
construction program. This sum
will be recouped when the board S
SUI plus ships are sold.
The army and navy charges can
not be reduced very rapidly in view
Of the warship construction now
under way and Of the necessary
reorganization Of the military estab-
'ishment. The creation of a selec-
i've national reserve to supplement
The standing army will be ex-
pensive. But it is wise investment.
The civilian administrative service,
over expanded during the war, is the
field in which Congress will have to
exercise the economy, avoiding
parsimony," advocated by Mr.
Mondell.
The United States is not afraid
Of being, even in peace times, a
four billion country Chat is, reck-
cned in Federal expenditure). The
public cares for results rather than
totals. But the vast machine of war
time has shown inadequate results
outside the military services, and,
to a large extent, inside them. The
people fought the war and won it
without, and sometimes in spite of,
government direction. A scientific
budget will cut out a great deal of
waste This Congress would do
something worth while if it studied
expenditures critically and estab-
lished a closer relation between cost
and results. If we are to have, tenn
rorarily, a four or a five billion
government let us at least see that
it converts dollars into efficiency.

The Golden Rule at the Tele.
o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Isn't it about time for all of US
to try to help the telephone service OF
this city, instead Of sitting back and
telling the operators how punk they
are and how "rottcn' the service is :?
From the fact that the telephone COM
pany is advertising so extensively for
help and Offering apparently liberal
terms, feel sure it Is doing everything
possible to provide sufficient operators.
but we must try TO realize that ever
after it has Got them it takes time
to bring them anywhere near the eff
elency point demanded by the New York
public
The constant harsh criticism hurled at
them by persons calling for numbers
raust naturally make nervo4s wrecks Of
oven the best uatured and most capable
operators.
Let evory one who roads mis- letter
resolve that he VIII do his share toward
sustaining the service by being tolerant
and fair to the operators and to keep
alive the spirit embodied in the Golden
Rule-to do unto others as you would
be done by. Z. =. $.

If they bring on fight the conse-

CAUSE OF UNREST

A high British authority recan> >lv expressed his deliberate conviction that of the social unrest now prev alent throughout the world, eighty per cent must be ascribed to the fall in the purchasing price of money However this may be in general, it is which is taking shape in the forma- tiOn of the Middle Classes Union in England is mainly due to this cause, When the money unit falls in value and the fall which we have been eX- periencing in the last few years IS beyond all precedent-the adjustment which in the course of time restores normal relations is nowhere so slow as in a large section of what may be called the middle classes. In the case of the wage-earner there is a painful interval, but on the whole the time of his suffering from the dislocatlon or prices is not apt to be very long. Salaries are far slower than wages to respond to the pressure ;and incomes from interest bearing investments dO not respond at all. The government official, the college professor, the per manent employe of almost any firm or private corporation, has to pull through as best he can on his old salary, or a salary but little increased, while the prices of everything ne needs for himself and his family have gone up to unheard-of heights. The hardship is truly a grevious one, and the wonder is that the complaining IS not louder and more insistent than It is. It must be remembered, neverthe- less, that the forces of adjustment, though slow-wOrking in this domain are vet constantly operative-that the grievance, however serious, is not Ol permanent nature Whether by any scheme of automatic adjustment, such as that proposed by Professor Irving Fisher. relief could be obtained with out inviting troubles more serious than those it removes is one of the interesting questions of the day.

It is enough to say that he was perhaps the most notorious gangster and allaround handy man with gun and knife that New York has ever known; bold, crafty. cruel, brave, unscupulous and undisciplined He served in states prison, was discharged caught up by the draft, sent to France and fought prison, was discharged, caught up by came back to America from the army, and returned to private life-but not to the exercise of that citizenship which he forfeited with is prison sen tence.
