CUTTING GOVERNMENT EXPENSES

One Of the ways in which there prom ises to be q decided retrenchment in gov ernmelt expenditures is the cutting down Of the large number of federal employees, who are retained in jobs which were made necessary by the war but which have since been continued more because of the political benefit that would come through the keeping of such people on the government payrolls rather than the work which they are required to do. T ~e var force is not of course maintained ,tt its maximum and neither is it down to the minimum that will permit of efficient conduct of the business of the various departments. There are certain depart ments where a much larger number of employees is necessitated by the new ve-- lat is imposed by the war. The war risk bureau is for instance one of the government branches that must have a large force where none existed before the war and where even though the war is over the work is by no means ended.
 T. isn't 10 be expected that any admin istration would undertake to cut the list Of employees to the point where confusion and a worse handling, of the business would result That would be more detri- mental than the outlay caused by keep ing rpore employees than are required. It isn't embarrassment of the work of the bureaus that is aimed at but an economi- cal adm.nistration thereof which will tend to do away with the expenditure of more for useless purposes.
 If there is going to be proper and ef- fcctive retrenchment there must be at- tent'on devoted to this matter. Mem- bers of congress who may have in the past opposed such curtailment must consider that it is the welfare of the country rather than their own personal political well being that must get con- sidora-ion. There shouIl be sufficient help in all departments but as in any ii-e of business where there is an over supply of heip there must be the cutting down Of the number to the point where thosc who are retained correspond tc ''r requirements of taking care of the business at hand. Waste should be eIim inaied in such cases as well as in all others.

JAPANESE IN THE CENSus.

According to figures which are put out by the census bureau some interesting light is being thrown upon the Japanese question as it concerns the western states The opposition to the Japanese appears to have not only grown in the Pacific states but to have developed in such way that it has succeeded in cut ting down the Japanese gains within the past decade as compared with the previ. ous ten years. By the 1910 census it was shown that the Japanese in Califor. nia had gained at the rate of over 300 Der cent in ten years while by the 1920 census there has been a gain of less than 70 per cent. in the decade just ended That means quite a decrease considered from the standpoint of percentages. but there was also naller increase in the actual number of Japanese for there was an increase of 2s,S4O in the last ten years while in the previous census De- iiod the gain was 31,2o8. There was al- SO a similar decrease in the Oregon Jap- anese
 In Hawaii the situation was different There the census shows a Japanese pop plation of 1o9,2s9 out of a total popula- jon of 255,512 where the increase in ten

Guthrie were well on their " cJma cities. The latter in particular seemed to Nrst full 7iedged from grassy { in to busting city, In less than three hours four business blocks were laid out and lined with tents in which were shops and offices. A. city council was elected at four o'clock with over, 900 votes cast. and the Oklahoma Etra1d issued it's first edition before all the 'boomers" had reached town. 5 In less than six months Guthrie had four newspapers, electric lights, street cars, and half a dozen banks. Additional lands were opened up for settlement In later years and the same scenes of phenomenal growth were reenacted.
 Thus was developed this region which cane into the possession of the United States as part of the Louisiana Pur- chase in 1903 and which was set aside for so nany years as Indiana Country. Previous to the formation of Oklahoma Territory, Congress had forbidden white settlers in this. part of the country, and this ,edict was enforced by federal troops. As the demand for more land was felt and as the InIians decreased in num- hers Indian Territory was added to Oklahoma Territory, and in 1907 it was admitted to !he Union as the State of Oklahoma adding another star to our flag. which for eleven years had con- tained forty-tour. The state has flour ished to. such an extent that 1t has ten presidential electors, which is more than double that of many of the older states of larger size. Its area is 70,057 square miles.

-ears has amounted to s7 per cent

years has amounted to 37 per cent.
 From the gains that have been made in ten years in the Pacific coast states it would appear that there was far less ground for alarm on the part of that section than there would be for the gains which have taken place in Hawaii. And it is to be supposed that Hawaii wi be pointed to as an example of what might be expected would take place in Califor- mia, Oregon and other states if there was not the opposition and efforts to restrict The Japanese growth in Hawaii will serve California as an argument why it should look well after it's own interests It may be and probably is. fact that California without it's alien land law did not stand in the same position as Ha- waii, but the manner in which the Jap anese are threatening to control the ma jority of the people of the islands is cer- tainly not being overlooked along the coast

THRIFT AND ECONOMY.

Instruction in the practical aspects of thrift and economy, we think, is the only means of stemming the tide of waste and extravaganza" This is 9 resolution that was adopted by a committee of state school superintendents following a conference with officials .of the treasury department and the American Bankers association,
 The tide of waste and extravaganza is one that is harder to stop than to start. For few years it has had more than the usual amount of encouragement and it can be appreciated that it is none toe early to begin determined efforts to. check the increased activity therein and block whatever other tendency in that direc- ton that may be influenced.
 When it became difficult to get certain goods and materials during the period ot the war there was a most commendable thrift campaign undertaken. There was not only an effort made to eliminate waste but to get along with only what was actually necessary. The lessons 1T saving that were taught cannot fail tc have made impressions that it will bt difficult to shake in the minds of many a least and the good services that were performed through such policies can wei be continued through such instructions al the suDerintendents recommend.
 There are plenty of opportunities fo ] the eliminating of waste even thougl : there is no great crisis. It is highly i'm portant that many should be taught tn importance of thrift. There is no tell
 ing what an important bearing upon tn
 future of many people, other than chil l dren, may be had by the right kind of in structions in the way of making the mos l of what is possessed and the leading o thrifty rather than extravagant lives The school instruction is needed in man instances where home influence in tha l direction is entirely lacking.

 And the next time when her hair I looked Particularly awful, l sat around l exclaiming about it's lovely color and, the | waves over her ears Then I got Arthur Jones, who was always coming to see me 1 then, to tell her she was the most graceful girl he knew, and Cousin Genevieve en- | tered into my little scheme by raving l about her style and general air of !. sprightliness.
 l Well ~of course, an older and more sophisticated person might have suspect ed something, but Isabel didn't. We were careful not to spread it on too l thick and before long I found her doing surreptious things to her complication and saying her allowance for the hairdresser. Arthur told her hands were really beautiful, so she kept her nails manicur- ed. and. of course since she was thought chic and st! fish, she very promptly gave evidence of taking pride in becoming more SO,
 Tt worked like a chaJm m. Before three months werT. passed Isabel was almost transformed. Of coutse, it made her a

Stories That Recall Others
Seen Enough of Them.

An enthusiastic young art teacher had obtained a number of beautiful moths and butterflies for her art lesson. When she was calling the attention of the children to the beautiful shape and brilliant colors, she noticed one little boy with a look of disgust on his face, deliberately turn his head in another direction and refuse to look at the specimens. Tine indignant young teacher sent for his sister at recess time and told her how her young brother had behaved during the lesson.
 Well, Miss K,' said the sister, Willie has to spend nearly ali of his vacation time in keeping the butterflies off of our i cabbage. plants"

Frank A. Heller returned to Thomp-

engaged in doing some preliminary
work on a group of claims which he
has under bond. The claims are sit
uated about nine miles from Thomp-
son, but only about half a mile from
the Northern Pacific railroad Little
has been done toward the develop
ment of the property. but the two
veins stand out strongly on the sur
face. one Of these veins to which
most attention has been given out

Heller says. who exhibited a sample
broken from the cropping. which was
oXidized iron with much galena. An
other sample taken from a prospect
tunnel which cut the vein only a few
feet below the surface was quartz and
galena, having the appearance of car
rying high silver values From these
samples and the description of the
property given by Mr. Heller it is ev-

and with capital available for its de-
velopment promises to prove a big

under the direction of John c. Boyd,
chief of the Wallace fire department
The tests were closely watched and
checked by Mayor Hugh Toole and
other city officials. The first test was
made on Placer creek. a suction hose
being dropped into the creek For two
hours the engine threw a stream at
the rate of better than 1000 gallons a
minute. In the evening other tests
were made at the fire station. The
first was throwing two streams from
the river at the Cedar street bridge
After this connection was made with
the hydrant at the fire station and
four streams were thrown mp Cedar
street This was successful test,
when it is considered
that the hydrant is attached to the
dead end of only a 4-inch main. Had
the test been made at a hydrant on
