The Saturday Evening Post, and
no person will question the fact that
it is a representative American jour
nal, has in season and out of season,
tried to open the eyes of Congress to
a better and a more economic bust
ness system. The Post cannot afford
to guess at things. If there is a
purely American paper that is one,
and it has a right to comment upon
matters vital to the American people.
More than that it is the duty of such
Journals to point out the weak places
in government, if there are any, and
to be able to judge these matters.
The Post has advised Congress to
adopt a budget system. 1t has been
advising Congress for years to do
this. We don't presume that there
is a single successful corporation in
the United States which hasn't a
more comprehensive and intelligent
working system than the Government
of the United States. The presump-
tion is also that no business concern
would undertake to do business with
as little care for it's financial econo-
mics as the Government does. The
Government banks on the nations
resources to carry it over, and 1t
is very fortunate that we have such
resources. But the Government does
not figure on "rainy day." sea-
son of financial illness, etc. Every
business man thinks of this. If Con-
gress would once get the business
habit it would grow, and then would
begin a new kind of patriotism, a
love of country never felt before. If
Congress had the courage to put the
lid on the pork barrel, the pension
and Office grab, and all these things,
labor troubles would be things of the
past and CONSUMPTION would be easy.
1t is long, long way to Tipperary
for our American Congress.

Four millions of American soldiers
are coming home looking for jobs
The Department of Labor is asking
for help. Reconstruction is not an
easy matter. Will we do our best
is the thing. In the first place the
soldiers are showing no disposition
to be choice about work. They are
coming back to the office, the fac
tory and the farm just like they went
into the -whole-heartedly and
unselfishly. They are doing their
part-what about ours? Don't be-
gin to resist labor and close your fac
tory or your business. That will not
dispose of the labor trouble. Meet
the issue. Give all the latitude you
can. The solution of the game is to
make advances. Keep making them
until the unemployed sees back of it
all the honesty of purpose. Be gen.
erous and deal liberal with the
world of labor. Go the limit. Do
not be so particular about the pres
ent. Look ahead Don't jeopardize
everything either by being too arbi-
trary or by overestimating your
ability to extend inducements. But
be sure to do everything you can to
solve the problem and the future will
take care of itself. The question
will settle itself.

There is no reason to believe that
the Government is any more honest
or capable than its citizens. The
only difference between them is that
one has been elevated to Office, il
that is always an elevation. There
fore we say that the private business
concern is just as capable of attend
ing to its own business. They are
both an organization of citizens.
Weighed in that balance they are
about even. Now in regard to gov
el nment or private ownership there
IS a difference in favor of private
ownership in the fact that private
ownership has no resources except
those of investment and income, and
cannot go beyond these things to re-
ward it's friends. Under the present
system of conducting government in
this country the Government is not
over Jealous in keeping the expense
of it's business enterprises within the
bounds of the revenue accruing from
such enterprise, but can draw on the
taxpayer to meet the difference. A
very practical example. is the post
Office department. The current ex-
penses of that department are nearly
always more than the revenues. If
the Government continues to take
over public utilities the burdens up
on the taxpayer will be common
surately greater And in addition
there will always be the doubtful
equation of political patronage and
plumber.

SEVEN OF THE
VICTORYLOAN'S
IT REASONS

Billions are needed to take mil
lions of Americans out of khaki!
The official estimated expense of
maintaining Americas army till
rehabilitation is complete Is
$2,354.317, 900.
OF the 100000 fighters called
to the colors before the signing of
the armistice, 2,O02,175 We're on
overseas duty. Up to the middle
Of March less than 100000 were
back from the battlefiefds.
The cost Of getting Pershing's
conquerors and the men who per-
formed valiant service on this side
back into civil life will total at
least s1.934, 4,043,250.
That $50 bonus to honorably dis
charged men adds $225. 900. 900 to
the rehabilitation bill.
Then come transportation costs
abroad and at home. These include
the item of $700,000,000 for Amer
ica's superb transportation system
in France. Water and rail cost
estimates for travel oscillate at the
$500, 900, 900 mark.
Millions also are due for the
supplies. equipment and munitions
that by ending the war suddenly
saved at least 100000 priceless
American lives!

OUR SOUL WILL PAY

There was very little to find fault
with In the spirit which the American
people showed when the war was
brought home to them daily by deeds
OF heroism sent back from the helds
OF France. In those days, beneath the
selfshness of commercialism, was
laid bare the soul OF our people. IL
was the same true. untarnisheds soul
which built the country through near
ly a century and half of struggles
which tested every fiber of our being
as a nation.
1t is this spirit and soul of our ma
tion which makes possible the
achievement by the American people
OF any task which they set themselves
10 do from the bottom of their heart
Our nation never went into anything
with a more determined will than
It did to defeat the abominable
milltarism which had been the lone
star of the German people. The Amer
lean people won that battle.
The government is now making an
appeal to the same spirit which won
that victory. The only work that re-
mains TO be done to make sure of an
oyersubscription to the fifth loan Is to
bring home to the American spirit
which won the war the realization
that there is another. great task which
Il Is right TO be done. That is paying
the bill of theA war. The American
people know the bill Is Just and will
pay II.

THREsHERMEN AND
FARMERS MEETING.
Shall We Have Uniform Thrashing
Prices7

A countrywide mass meeting under
the auspices of the Holt County Farm
Bureau will be held at 1880 a. m.
(new time), Monday, June 30, in the
City Hall at Forest City.
The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss whether a uniform scale of
threshing prices shall be adopted, and,
If so, agree on the scale of prices.
Other matters pertaining TO thrashing
and farm help will be discussed also.
In travelling over the county, the
county agent has been asked numerous
times by threshmcn and farmers what
was to be done regarding threshing
prices and threshing machine inspec-
tion this season. Owing 10 the fact
that the U. 5. Food Administration
has been disbandcd no threshing COM
mittec has been appointed this season.
Evidently the general opinion Of
threshermen and farmers Is that the
manner in which the threshing was
handled last year was very salts
factory and that, II possible, Il should
be handled in similar way this sea-
son. Whether threshing committee
will be appointed and uniform scale
of prices be adopted will depend upon
the sentiment of those present next
Monday.
We would suggest that every school
district in the county have "a rcpresen-
tativc at the meeting and that he be
informed regarding the sentiment Of
the farmers of his district. Will eaca
school district clerk see that his dis
trict is represented? -
