Against Spirit and Form of Government

INDIGNATION over the growing
i power of the departments runs like
q thread all through the proceedings
of the last session. For example, here
are few remarks by Senator King
of Utah:
1.-THE executive departments and in
strumentalities of the government
seek to extend their authority; they
clamor for huge appropriations. The
condition Of the country and the treas
ury do not influence them. During
tine congress we have witnessed de-
mands from executive officers for bill
lions of dollars, when they should
have asked but for hundreds of mil
lions.
soften, in order to get through ap-
preparations desired, officials of an
executive branch of the government
will send letters and kilograms to re-
mote parts of the land for the pur-
pose of organizing movements to force
congress to yield to their demands
In this way they debauch the people,
exceed their rights, and pervert our
form of government. The executive
departments are organized for the

Good Roads Problem National, Not State

n ECLARING problems of highway
- construction are national rather
than the concern of the individual
state, the report of the war depart
ment to the highways committee OF
congress summarizes conclusions
reached as a result of the army con-
voy of Seventy-three trucks which
blazed a trail from Washington to
the Pacific coast last summer. These
conclusions are, in part, as follows:
First-That the necessity for COM
prehensive system of national high
ways, including transcontinental or
through routes east and west and
north and south, is real and urgent,
as commercial asset, to further col
onize and develop the sparsely settled
sections of the country, and, finally
as defensive military necessity.
Secondhand the existing roads
and bridges, especially in the sparse
~ settled sections of the middle and
far western states, are absolutely in
capable of meeting the present day
traffic requirements and until mod
ern types of roads and bridges are
constructed which will permit the
rapid movement Of heavy motor car

towns comparative statements of their
respective increases or decreases dur
ing the 1910-1920 and 1900-191O perl
DDS are available.
These comparisons show that the
1914 cities and TOWNS made an ever
age gain of 80 per cent between l9oo
and 1910, but during the 19l0-l92o
period the average gain for the same
places was only 90 per cent.
The increases in rural districts IN
variably are smaller than In the cities.
This is shown by the fact that, while
the 1,314 cities and towns gained 80
per cent from 1900 to 1910, the entire
country showed gain of only Il per
cent.
The percentage gain of the entire
country from 1900 to 1910-2l per
cent--was but three-6fths of the per-
centage gain by the cities and towns
35 per cent. If the same ratio pre-
vailed in the 1920 census-the cities
gained &c per cent-the percentage
gain for the country would be 100
per cent. Actual decreases shown In
rural counties, however, caused Or.
Hill to place his estimate at IA per
cent increase.

administration was principally marked
by the war of 1872.
MOnrOe's administration probably
will be longest remembered by the
doctrine that bears his name. Jack
sons administration will always be re-
garded as the one in which the out
standing event was the fight against
the national bank idea and the specie
circular Folks administration will
be remembered by the Mexican war.
Lincoln's administration, among
other things that will mark it, will be
remembered by the great Civil war !;
Grants by the reconstruction effort !;
Hays by the resumption of specie
payments and the Introduction of the
civil-service system. Garfield's admin
istratiOn was short-lived because of
the assassination soon after he took
his seat.
Cleveland's first administration will
be remembered by the creation Of the
interstate commerce commission and
the tariff law known as the Wilson
tariff bill his second by his stand for
the integrity of the Monroe doctrine.
Harrison's administration will always
be remembered by the antitrust law of
1890, known as the Sherman Antitrust
act, and the Mckinley bill of the same
year.

SEEK NAMES OF NEXT OF KIN
dresses of Those Expecting Bodies
to Be Sent Home.

While the American Legion is try.
ing TO perfect arrangements with the
war department to assist in assuring
relatives of prompt notification follow
ing the arrival of remains of Americas
soldier dead from overseas, word has
reached national headquarters of the
Legion that body of one of these
heroes recently lay unclaimed on a
Hoboken pier for nearly week with
the next of kin totally ignorant of its
arrival.
According to members of Legion
post in the fallen soldiers home COM
munity, no notification of the body's
arrival was sent to relatives by the
war department The LegiOnnaires, it
is said, learned of the case through
indirect channels and telegraphed de-
partment headquarters of the Legion
in New York city, which arranged for
shipment Of the body to its final rest
ing place The Legion post took
charge Of the funeral and the remains
were inferred with appropriate mill
tary honors.
When the plan to return certain
bodies from overseas was first an
nouneed, the American Legion endeav-
ored to make arrangements with the
war department to receive notification
of shipment in order that national
headquarters Of the Legion might
write direct to the next of kin and of
fer the services of the local posts in
assisting with the funeral arrange
ments in case relatives desired this.
| But the government officials decided
they could not give out this inforna-
ton and compromised with an offer to
circularize the next of kin to the eff
feet that the Legion would be glad to
cooperate in extending honor to the
memory of these heroes.
In a bulletin forwarded to each of
the more than 1900 Legion posts
throughout the United States, Lemuel
Bolles national adjutant, asks these
community posts to ascertain the
names of men of their respective To-
calities who died overseas and whose
bodies are being returned, and notify
Legion national headquarters of the
names and addresses Of the next of
kin, in order that 1t may take steps to
prevent, if possible, a recurrence OF
an incident such as that recently re-
ported from New York.
News dispatches say that in certain
cases /. has been impossible to locate
the next of kin after a body has ar
rived, and the government has inferred
such remains in one of the national
cemeteries. The Legion has offered
all It's resources to the war department
to assist in preventing plumbers of this
kind.

III ISTORY in a nutshell was what
IL one might call paragraph in an
address by Congressman Foss Of Ohio
just before the adjournment. He said:
Mr.. Chairman, almost every admin
istration from the beginning of the
government has been marked by some
outstanding event of legislation, some
of them adversely rather than favor
ably The first, quite naturally, was
marked by the many acts necessary to
put the Constitution I'm operation. The
administration of the elder Adams was
marked by the alien and sedition laws.
Jefferson's administration will always
be looked upon as the one administra-
ton that started the expansion of the

the purchase of Louisiana. Madison's
