Progress on the BudQet

The rivalry between the house and senate
bills for budget reform has been compromised
by uniting the best features of each. From the
Mccormick bill is taken the idea of prepar-
ton OF the budget by the president, with the
treasury as his agent. That uses existing ma
chinery suitable Tor the purpose and averts the
necessity of duplicating functions and expenses.
From the Good bill is taken the idea of Great
ing an independent auditing body The treasury
is equipped for that also, but there is an OBJ
lection to making the collecting and disburs-
ing officials audit their own operations. The
new accounting bureau will be charged with
duties not now exercised by ANYBODY and
urgently needed. THE treasury auditors merely
compare the spendings with the authorizations
by congress, without, cri'icizing amounts or
policies
The criticism of tn. administration of
budget is as important as the criticism of the
preparation OF budget, and the provision of
both functions is happy settling of dispute
Even If the bill should be enacted there remains
something further to be done. Both houses will
need to pass and observe self-denying ordi-
nances foregoing appropriations for local and
political objects, and conforming themselves to
the execution of the new policy of national in
terests FIRST, and no secondary interests. in the
use of public funds Government expenses were
around billion when Senator Aldrich said they
were one-third wasted. The necessity OF saving
that third is greater in proportion that oyr ex-
penditures are larger, not only because the one
third of possible saving is larger but because
there is now larger margin Of waste which
can-be stoppcd.-New York Times.

period that's duly past and gone; and they who
purchase furniture from Wilhelm may be sure
Of getting quality that lasts in fashions that

Prosperity is nothing in the distance dim
and vague, to come from peace and treaties done
at Paris or The Hague. He sees rosy tint
upon todays delightful sky and cheerfully con-
vinces you that now's the time to buy, to fur
nish your apartments with the best your purse
can give, surrounding with artistic airs the
place in which you live.
He puts the velvet carpet underneath your
fattered feet. He furnishes stove on which
to cook the stuff you eat; table under which to
stow away your awkward knees and put you
in possession of your 'customed poise and ease;
and when you're full of dinner and it's time to
go to bed, he stakes you to comfortable place
to hide your head.
He helps the Commerce chamber to conduct
its large affairs, supporting with his well-but
mind his portion of its cares. He's on the
Water board which manages the flow and squirt
by which we counteract our thirst and struggle
with our dirt. He is, as properly you Judge, a
man of class and poise, and not a simple sound

Making Turkey Safe for the World.

Peace commissioners in session at Con-
stantinople are dealing with problem of vastly
more general importance than the Shantung or
Fiume affairs. In either of the latter the issue
but directly affected two nations, and was only
collateray related to the peace Of the. world.
With Turkey it is different. A government en-
dowed with the morals of tho east and deeply
versed in the intrigue of the west with ca
pacity for evil that is fathomess, and record of
wckedness as long as its age, should not be
permitted to continue in position from which
it can work harm to civilization.
Punishment of Turkey is not demanded.
The annihilation of the race would not COM
pensate for the brutality visited on the Ar
menians and other victims of the sultan's SOL
ders. Something should be done to lessen not
only the opportunity but the capacity OF the
Turk for destruction. Commissioners of the
civilized governments will do we'll to forget
for time the lesser interests OF their own gov
ernments, and consider what is good for mar
kind. A great cry of protest is going up
against the intrigue in connection with the max
ing. of peace at Constantinople, and if it is not
heard and hardened to, the result will be had
for the world.
Former Ambassador Morgeuthau who
knows the Turkish government we'll, says
the United States will be IAN accessory after
the crime" if it permits settlement that will
leave the backward government of Turkey un-
diminished in its position. Former Ambassador
Gerard protests vigorously against the dsmenl-
bermeift of Armenia, planned and likely to be
carried out. Unfortunately for all, just at the
moment when the services Of strong man IN
our State department is most needed, the Sec
retaryship is vacant, while the president is oc-
cupying himself with matters of far less sig
nihcance, Americas voice should be heard be-
fore the Turkish peace is made conclusive.

RETURN OF THE RAILROADS.

Only the not probable or expected veto OF
the compromise railroad bill will prevent its be-
coming law in time to facilitate the return Of the
railroads to their owncrsa after twenty months
of government operation. Provisions of the
new law supersede many OF the regulations that
prevailed prior to January !, 1918, and under
them the business of handling the transporta-
ton system of the United States will be con-
siderably simplhed. This does not mean that
all the problems have been solved, or that diff
hculties have been entirely removed. Plenty of
scope for the application OF the wisdom and
foresight OF the best Of operators is yet offered.
Details for the urscrambling of the Systems
have been worked out i'll advance to some ex-
tent, but it will take long time to get all this
adjusted under the new dispensation. Senator
Cummns, explaining the new law disclosed the
interesting information that the provision guar
antecing return cf 5H per cent is not ex-
pected to cost the government anything, as
under new conditions ths lines will earn as
much or more as is secured by the law.
Opposition Of the labor unions is dwindling
to point where it now seems to concern
mostly the radical elements who are interested
more from 4 political than an economic view
point These are still insistent on the full So
cialishc program, which includes the Plumb
plan. public ownership or anything that tends
to "nationalization" Of the industry. II 10 not
likely this will have any especial weight with
the president for. in spite Of his own leanings
in that direction, MI. Wilton can appreciate the
tremendous undertaking involved in financing
any such project.
Senator Cummins also states that less than
$900,0O0000 will be the residual deficit as the
result Of the twenty-six months experiment,

Process of De1ation

The Federal Reserve board announces that
it is watching the credit situation very closely,
and proposes to keep tight rein on money.
process of infation going on so fast under the
operation of the law, the board now plans to see
If its machinery will not work both ways, and
intends to bring about dehation of currency.
This will necessitate contraction of credit, and
consequent check on speculation. 1t is be-
lieved by the governors that the end can be
achieved without interference with or hamper
ing of legitimate business and that the only
thing that will be seriously affected is the af-
fairs of those who have been taking long
chances This is quite in line with the func-
tons of the Federal Reserve bank; the law
which created it had in view an elastic currency,
capable of expansion or contraction, and al
ways under control of government agency
instead of in private hands. The process of
de1ation has not yet been seriously tested, bu:
will undergo in this such experience as will de-
termine its service absolutely. A steady stream
of asset currency has been flowing from the
Federal Reserve banks for the last eighteen
months. On July, 1918, Federal reserve notes
in circulation were $1,7ll,4l1 ,695; on January l,
1920 this had mounted to S2,98o, ,664,862 an in
crease of S1,278,2s3,167.. Between July, 1919,

weather and often piles up dark,

These men do not make life bust

certain amount Of training each
