STOP THE LEAKS

During the war the bill for Office sup
plies for the various government depart
ments and bureaus in Washington was
more than five million dollars year, and
for the ten years prior to the war the
cost was about three million dollars a
year. Each department has been its own
purchasing agent and this practice has
prevailed under the administration of
both Republicans and Democrats. No
we'll managed, big business firm or cor
poration allows it's employees to buy sup
lilies or goods in this random and unsys-
tematic manner. Representative Wood
of Indiana, during the last session of Con-
gress. introduced bill to provide for the
establishment of Supply Bureau. to be
appointed by the President. Under the
provisions of this bill the bureau is auth
orized and directed to purchase and keep
in stock supplies in sufficient quantities
to meet the requirements of the depart
ments, and to furnish these supplies upon
reouisition from the head of the Depart
ment where supplies are needed. This
bill should have prompt passage under
its provisions. Money can be saved in
purchasing and the blame for waste can
be placed on any department where it is
permitted.

OUR MARKETS THE BEST

Manufacturing has been slowing down
for several months and of late to an ex-
tent which has lessened the earnings of
many people to point where they can
see no way to meet the needs of winter.
The present halt in business activity is
mainly owing to the fact that the people
of this country have been curtailing their
expenditures and that our export trade
has been rapidly shrinking. In 1910 our
yearly exports to Europe were approxi-
mately one billion seven hundred million
dollars, and in 1919 they were more than
seven billion dollars, an increase of more
than 400 per cent. A considerable part
of this increase was due to increased
prices, but after taking these into ac-
count the increase of our volume of ex-
ports can not be fairly estimated as being
The Republican journal., 1920-11-25

less than $50 per cent. It is not probable
that in 1922 our exports will be much
more than they were in 1910. France
has already restored her devastated folds
SO that at least ninety per cent of them
will be producing crops next year. Bel
GUM has restored about seventy-five per
cent of hers. Factories in both these
countries are busy. The war left the
fields of England more extensive and her
factories in better condition than ever
before. In order to meet their national
obligations these three countries must
reduce imports to the minimum. They
must also produce the maximum, not
only for domestic needs, but for export.
With these facts in view, it becomes
evident that for several years export
trade will be minor factor in American
industrial prosperity and that the major
factor is our domestic market. Further
more the low rate of financial exchange
may lead to legislation in some European
countries to restrict the entry of Ameri-
can goods. That our own market is the
best and most dependable for our people
under normal trade conditions, is made
plain by the following statistics: Our
farm production in 1915 was worth nearly
S11, 900, 600, 900, and of this a little more
than SO, 1000, 600. 900 worth was consumed
in the United States. In 1915 the value
of our manufactures was more than $24,-
600, 600, 900, and of these 95 per cent was
used in this country Our ability to pro-
duce, manufacture and use such quantities
of the farm and the factory products
will endure if reasonably protected be-
cause farming and manufactures are basic
industries. Approximately one third of
our population lives on the farm and if
we add to this number the people living
in cities and towns having less than 5000
inhabitants we have more than half the
population of the United States living on
the farm or closely identified with farm
ing interests and operations. ''rhe farmer
feeds us alp and as long as the farmer
prospers manufactures will prosper, and
most of our American goods and food
products will find a market in America,
provided, however, we have tariff law
which will protect that market.

1t is announced that Secretary of State
Colby is about to officially visit the South
American Republics. Pro bono publico7
We have no doubt Mr.. Colby will be re-
ceived with courtesy. They will listen
attentively to whatever he may say to
them and will be very circumspect in
what they say to him, realizing as they
undoubtedly will that he came to sing the
swan song of dying administration. 1t
is also announced that Mr.. Anthony
Camlnetti, why he is commissioner of
immigration for the U. S. we would like
to know, is about to depart on tour
round the world. Pro bono publico? Just
now, when immigrants are pouring into
this country at the rate of more than
million "a year, it would seem that the
commissioner of immigration could serve
America better here than in Japan, in
China, or anywhere else.

The next congress will tackle the ques
tt on of readjustment of taxation. VAR
ious suggestions are now being made,
most of which include the elimination of
the excess profits tax. The problem is
one of large dimensions but it is generally
believed that that the taxation of indus
try, taxation that lessons production is
vitality wrong in principle and in opera
ton. It appears to have pretty we'll
demonstrated that efforts at the taxation
of industry in the end reaches the con-
sumner. Producers, jobbers, wholesalers
and retailers consider their taxes in fixing
their prices and SO the burden is passed
on and on until finally it is handed to the
consumers who must have the goods and
cannot pass the burden on to someone
else.

The prohibition drought promises to
become more parching. "Home-brew"
and setting hen" have filled a "much-
felt WANT since prohibition went into
effect, and the wetness that trickled
through the roof of the United States
from Canada was expensive. Now the
government has dealt blow to home
brew by putting ban on malt and hops,
and other ''makings." Only bakers and
confectioners will be allowed to buy.
And how about our yeast cakes7 Will
they have to 60, too, and the country,
perforce, eat of the unleaven bread?-

The price of Liberty bonds has been
gradually declining for several days and
there may be further recessions. This
should occasion no alarm. Holders should
''sit tight" We believe that within the
next five years the price will be approxi-
mately at par. Already the government
has retired more than five per cent of the
entire issue. Bought at the present prices,
certain issues yield well above five per
cent. Millions of dollars worth are chang
ing hands every day and very large part
of the purchasers are buying with the
intention of holding the bonds till they
60 to par or above.

ECONOMY AND REFORM FIRST

Since March 4, 1919, the Republicans
have been handicapped by majority of
only two in the Senate while the Demo-
Gratis had the President, the Cabinet and
a couple of hundred, more or less, of
burea US, boards and commissions wholly
at variance with them. 1t was impossi-
BILE for the Republicans to institute any
reforms or to put into effect any legisla-
ton. All they could do was to hold up
the League of Nations till the solemn
referendum" made finish of it at least
in it's present form and substance. The
over whelming majority of the men and
WON en- whose votes placed seal of con-
demnation upon profiteering, waste, mis-
rule and no rule whatever was also de-
nand for clean, wholesome, honest and
economical administration of the domes-
tic affairs of our country, and wise,
firm and lust management of any and all
of those international matters in which
we have or are likely to have national
interest. One of the first measures which
the Republican administration should put
through is the budget bill. This bill was
passed in both houses of Congress during
the last session and was vetoed by the
President because. it slightly lessened his
power over taxation and appropriations
One important feature of the budget bill
is that which provides for an auditor
general. At the presentstime we have an
auditor for the Navy Dept, another for
the War Dept, another for the P. o.
Dent. another for the Treasury Dept,
another for the Dept. of the Interior and
another for the other departments. The
duty of the .auditor general will be to
supervise and, if necessary, revise, the
audits of the receipts and expenditures
of each and every department, large or
small. This would lead to the elimina-
ton of waste and of duplicate expendl-
lures and the present 60 as you please
method of transacting public business.
We have too many bureaus, boards and
commissions. iSome of them served
every useful purpose for which they were
instituted years ago. These parasites
should not be allowed to feed on the pub
lie payroll any longer. We believe that
manv of these bureaus should be abolish
ed and that their work should be turned
over to bureau working on somewhat
similar lines For instance, the Geologl-
cal Survey should take over the Bureau
of Mines and Mining and the Reclama-
ton Service. The Bureau Of Education, |,
now an annex to the Dept. of the In
terror, the Childrens' Bureau and the
Women's Bureau, now a part OF the
wheels within wheels in the. Labor Dept,
the Federal Board of Vocational Educa-
ton and one or two others Of lesser i'm
portance should be merged into Public
Welfare Bureau. In brief, the people
desire to have their business simplltled
and put on systemized business basis
They demand economy in the conduct OF
that business and they will insist on
having less red tape and fewer unprofit-
able servants. The people are deeply in
terested in international affairs, the tar
iff and many other matters of great i'm
portance, but they want to see their own
house swept of inefficiency and waste,
first, because it is sore y needed and can
be done quickly after the fourth day of
next March.

Chronic Constipation.

There are people who have
a movement of the bowels without
it is produced by a cathartic. Most
of them have brought that condition
or themselves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics that take
too much water out of the system and
~aggravate the disease they are meant
to relieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords a gen.
tie movement of the bowels that you
hardly realize has been produced by
a medicine, and their use is not so
likely to be followed by constipation.
