OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE

rhe war has now been over nine
months On the eleventh Of November.
1918. NO experienced the delerium OF re-
,o,etnr which came from the knowledge
that victory had been won and our boys
were no longer to be exposed to the dan
gers Of death In battle and disease in
esnn Yet We are told that the govern
ment 10 still spending money at the rate
Of over q billion dollars month 1t Is
estimated that the total expenditures
for 1913 WIN be approximately thirteen
million dollars. or about four billion dol
bars more than It was able to spend IN
1877. Much Of this heavy expenditure
undoubtedly IS unavoidable. yet It is
hard to believe much OF It could not have
been saved.
One of tho great troubles ve have at
the present time arises from the fact
that ve have too many men spending
other peoples money; too many men
who have been brought into positions of
power and influence by the development
Of the war and now are loath TO return
to tho quiet pursuits Of everyday life:
too many men who have tasted the e1-
element and tho thrill. so to speak, Of
being at the head Of big things. OF
throwing around public money lavishly.
Of ordering and laying out work for
armies Of clerks. and who are despcr-
at.lv thriving to mako some excuse for
holding to their place and power.
While the army has been dcmobilized
very slowly, we DO not hear much Of the
rehabilitation Of tho clerks and officials
that have crowded Washington to over
flowing. Apparently all Of the commits
sions, bureaus, departments sub-com-
missions and special committees which
the war piled upon each other in confu-
! sion stjll continue TO operate 10 the OK

piling up expense accounts. This thing

country and increases the burdens upon
the workers Of the country. Our pre-
war army Of government ofhcialdom was
enormously wastcful. Our present host
of useless employees is beyond all com
putatIoa--the most cX,ravagant that any
country in the world has ever seen.

ENGINEER SMITHS FHTRA
TON PLAN

The able editor Of the Telegraph
we'll system Of filtration, such as planned
by Engineer C. C. Smith. should be tried
by the city Of Wheeling. The Telegraph
points out that since Mr. Smith made his
report a government dam has been built
across the Ohio river and that the wells
could not be used to advantage, and
probably their lifo would not be long.
This very contingency is provided for
in Mr.. Smiths report. The entire amount
Of money required for sinking o. the
wells was estimated at only $55.0o0. and
the remainder Of the plant was esti-
mated to cost approximately $500. 900
more. THIS plan was designed in such
a way that II would be available for
rapid sand filtration. chemical filtration
or any other plan that might later be
found necessary.
So far as The Intelngcneer - con-
cerned. 1t Is not welded to any parttcu-
lar system. 1t thinks that the citizens
Of Wheeling are entitled to have dol
lars worth Of value for every dollar
that they spend. A trial OF the we'll sys-
tenn, which has been found satisfactory
at many other points. would cost little.
and IL, after a number OF years, the wells
became exhausted. as the Telegraph
fears they will. the rest OF the plant will
be available for the rapid sand and chem
ical filtration plans. II the wells oper-
ate satisfactorily for only three or four
years. 1t will amply repay the cost Of
sinking the wells and the trial will at
tho same time make n complete answer
to those citizens who have been welded
to the well system idea
The Intelngenccr reprinted large
part OF Engineer Smiths report. not FOR
the purpos" Of trying to force that sys-
TEN upon tho citizens Of Wheeling. but
rather for the purpose Of calling alton
ton to the features Of the report and TO
point out that It vas possible to secure
an effective plan OF filtration at Il very
small price. We are inclined to believe

GLASS DECLARES VICTORY LOAN IS
 NOT ABANDONED
Decision of Ways and Means Committee Cause of
 Misapprehension.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Scores of telegrams reaching the treasury today indicated existence of wide misap- prehension that the Victory Liberty Loan had been abandoned or modified materially by decision of the House Ways and Means Committee to au- thorize issuance of notes instead of bonds. This prompted Secretary Glass to reiterate that the campaign would be held as planned, that it would begin April 21st, or earlier, and that it would be popular in nature with the exception of selling the securities to millions of Americans of small means. ly subscribed but over-subscribed.
 Patriotic impulses of most citizens will prompt them to subscribe to the limit of their abilities, said the Secre- tary, and busness interests will give strong support for the additional req son that the financial and commercial soundness of the country depends on the governments payment of it's debts.
 Mir. Glass said the treasury had not determined the denominations of the securities to be issued but he inti- mated that they would be as small as $50 as in past loans. The notes would carry no coupons and would mature within five years.
 The secretary expressed strong con- fidence that the loan would be not on-

SENATE COMMITTEE
 APPROVES BILL TO
 PREVENT ANARCHY

Washington, Feb. 20.-Without waiting the outcome Of the inquiry into radical propaganda now under way, the Senate judiciary committee tdoay unanimously recommended legislation to punish anarchistic acti- vities or propaganda and the display of flags or other emblems of violence.
 The bill drawn by the committee combines the "Red Flag" measure in- troduced by Senator New, of Indiana and other bills designed to check un- lawful agitation against the govern ment. Persons convicted would be sub. feet to a fine of not more than $5,OOO or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both.
 After the committee had approved this legislation, the subcommittee un- der Senator Overman continued its investigation of lawless agitation with the examination of Louise Bryant, g writer, and one of the speakers at g recent meeting in Washington thea. ire which brought about the senate in quiry.
