Business Need Not Fear Future,
Saws New Head Of the Treasury

ernment must spend further
money to maintain i'll comfort
and bring home in safety those
boys whose lives were spared
Congress is writing off the
books fifteen billions OF dollars,
expenditure OF which had been
authorized and which would have
had to be expended, with bill
lions OF other dollars, had the
war gone on another year. We
all are glad, of course, that it Is
not necessary to spend these ad-
ditional billions, but had it been
necessary the spending OF them
still would not have brought the
nation down TO ruin.
We still would have been far
behind France in the amount OF
our debt, compared to wealth
and population. With our man
power practically intact, with our
towns and factories and farms
undamaged, should we be cowed
by a monetary obligation lighter
far than the one France faces
unafraid?
Those Americans who today
have joined the carpers and the
quibblers are not worthy of the
name. They are not worthy the
boys they sent forth to make. if
need be, the supreme sacrifice
that liberty might live
1t is incomprehensible to me
that any of the men who gave
their sons so gladly and so
proudly to their country in its
hour OF peril should turn so
quickly to cold and calculating
contemplation OF the dollar. Had
the war gone on they would,
with equal pride, have offered
other sons and would have con-
tinued to give of their wealth un-
grudgingly. Now that the COM
ing of peace has restored their
sons to them, will they tighten
up their strings and adopt
an attitude which would seem to
say: Let the government go
hang?
| think the number of croakers
relatively is very small, but their
wailings and lamentations travel
lar and tend to discourage
others who are NOT stout of
heart.
/ do not believe that the plain
people of America either are
fearful Of the future or distrust-
ful Of their government. When
the next loan is offered I have
every confidence they will un-
derstand its necessity and viii
gladly meet its requirements.
Plain fathers and mothers
throughout the land have not so
soon ceased to be thankful that
the ending Of the war. has re-
stored their sons to them.

~ derstanding is the re-
"A dictionary spirit which,
IN some quarters, seems
to have seized hold OF
American business. 1t manIfests
itself in a gloomy and pessimis
tic view of the future in no way
justified by conditions present or
discernibie, and in disposition
to cavil at the further eXpendi-
lures the government IS under
the necessity OF making in order
TO liquidate the war.
Instead of days OF dark fore
boding, these should be days OF
rejoicing, of confidence and OF
high resolve. America is least
injured OF any of the nations
which took active part in the
death grapple with autocracy on
the soil OF France and Flanders.
Except for the 6ixty thousand
who gave up their lives and the
other thousands who are return
ing MANNED, the United States
has made no real sacrifice Our
fields have not been devastated,
our homes and factories have not
been razed, famine does not
stalk among US. In all material
things the nation is richer and
stronger than it was before we
went to war.
Is the American spirit less
courageous than is the spirit of
the French or of the Be1gians?
France, sorrowing, but undaunt-
ed, has set about to repair the
wreck the ruthless invader
wrought, and refuses to view the
future dark1y. Belgium, stripped
OF all save honor, looks forward
to the day when a greater nation
will arise on the ruins of the old.
Shall America, then, bend and
groan under the inaginings of a
burden which it should bear
lightly, if felt at all?
Sight never should be lost of
the fact that Americas war debt
sis substantially all owed to the
Ameriean people. Money to
aneet the interest charges on it
and eventually to pay off the
principal will flow back to the
sources whence it came. A ma
tional debt of this character is
not a burden to cripple future
business.
1t should be kept in mind also
that the issues of liberty bonds
were paid for, Or are being paid
for, almost entirely by the cur
rent savings of the people. There
was no impairment of the capital

among the starving millions of Po-
land it carried also a message of fra
ternity big in possibilities. The two
and a half million dollars which the
ships cargo cost had been raised
among the Polish and Jewish resi-
dents OF this country.
To those familiar with the history
of Poland and with present conditions
there this is one of the most significant
developments grown out OF the war.
There are 10000. 600 people in Poland
or were before war and famine came
to devastate the Lands, 100000 Of
whom are Jews. Through countless
generations the Jews OF Poland have
been subjected to- the cruelest perse-
cution. They had no rights which the
Poles felt called upon to respect. An
taeonism between the races is age

Rents are high now in this coun-
try for the that normal build

structures would reduce rents per-
haps to their before the-war basis.
But rents will not drop if we do not
build.
( when the war began we thought it
would last but a few months and ex-
pected old conditions to return after
the situation in Europe had been set

turn to old conditions and travelled in

Term View a Strange One.

The advocates Of the bill say that
this is a strange way of viewing the
effort to see that thousands of men are
not walking the streets looking for
jobs. particularly when thousands OF
these men were men who took UP
arms to fight for their country and
gave up their positions to do so.
One question which is veXing the
proponents of the measure is this.
What shall be the wages paid on the
public works started to care for un-
employment? They are on the horns
of dilemma. If the wages are fixed
at the same rate as those prevailing
in private industry. the employers
will all insist that an effort is being
made to maintain wages at wartime
rates. On the other hand, II the
wages are fixed below those paid in
private industry. labor will urge that
the government is setting precedent
for lowering wages.
1t is Senator Kenyon's opinion.
however, that wages should be some
what lower than those paid in private
industry. but that the wages should
be good living wages. 1t is not the
purpose of the government, he argues.
to compete with private industry in
speeding up public works at this
time. 1t is merely the purpose of the
government to act as stop gap in
the matter Of employment until the in
austries of the country are working
away at full swing on a peace basis.
Also. if the wages are sliEhtly lower

y My four weeks anu thTee
days remain of this session
of Congress before the Con-
stitution calls time, and the
soions are dismayed at the mass of
unfinished legislation piled up ahead
of them.
All the leaders take a pessimistic
view of the possibility of cleaning up
before the Congress is adjourned sine
die at noon, March 4. An extraordi-
nary session of the next Congress to
handle the unfinished supply bills
seems inevitable to them now, and of
course, once assembled. the new Con-
gress would go into general legisla-
ton.
II is thought that if an extra ses-
sion is necessary it would be called
about the middle of April The Presi-
dent does not want an extra session
= and would postpone calling it, but if
the necessity arises by reason of non
action on appropriation bills it will
have to meet in time to get them all
cleared up by the beginning of the
fiscal year. II only one or two bills
should fail. the democrats would prob
ably try to avoid an extra session by
passing continuing resolutions, but
the prospect now is that some of the
greater measures may fail and it
would be impossible to provide for
them by a continuing resolution.

an orgy of investigations as soon as

Cry Came From Both Races.

i ssl :
When the cry OF distress. came from
overseas it came from Poles and Jews
alike. In this country it reached Poles
and Jews alike. Americans of each
race were ready and eager to render
assistance to their own people, but
there was no way reiief could go for
ward except through governmental
agency. This government could not
make distinction between Poles and
Jews in its humanitarian work.
1t seemed as necessary. therefore. as
it was deemed impossible to bring the
Poles and jews of America into CO.
operation. The food administration
assigned the task to Frederick C. wal
cott, one of Herbert tHooyer,s. chief as
sistants. The Westward.Ho,s with its

about the organization of a cow test

cure the services of an expert to
represent the milk producers at the
ccndensary in the position of tester
for a period of six months. and to
do individual testing on the farms.
The members of the association arc

take out five cents per hundred from
their milk checks. which 10 to be
turned over to the secretary of the

Of the patrons of the local conden-

day, and secured the endorsement Of
every one of them to the proposed
plan. with his signature attached to
.,u agreement of this nature. This
list of patrons delivers about 2.5OO
pounds of milk to the local conden-
5ary every day. and IL other commit
tees have the same success in inter-
viewing the patrons of the conden-
sary COW testing association will,
he organized in the very near future.
Lamar has had COW testing asso-
citation in operation for some time
The report for April was published
in last weeks issue of the Lamar
Sparks. The report shows that the
number OF cows tested during the
month of April was 3S4. The aver
age pounds of milk per COW was 762
for one month of thirty days. and
The average pounds of butter fat
I.er COW was "a. The average cost
of feed per cow was s10.4l. Eigh-
teen cows produced over 200 pounds
of milk, or an average of 40 pounds
per day. The best individual COW
produced over 1871 pounds OF milk
or nearly 60 pounds per day. Dur
lug the month of April. according
to the records of the local condeu-
sary, the average production of cows
owned by patrons of the local con-
densary was not over fifteen pounds
per day. 1t is evident that some
thing is radically wrong with the
cows that are owned by patrons of

remedy this condition that an effort
Is being made to organize cow test
