THE cLEANLY LAPS
(The Argonaut)


 Baron Rempel Kondon, president of a steamship company, said at a dinner he gave recently in New York: The Japanese are a very clean people. l know an American traveller. who will testify to this. The traveller. half fam ished. made his way one day into tea house in a remote Japanese village. A geisha girl ushered him into spotless, airy room and brought him d cup of unsweetened tea. As he could speak no Japanese. he tried to explain by signs that he wanted a full meal but the girl, though she smiled politely, failed to understand So the traveler thought he would resort to another means. He took out his notebook and pencil, drew a fish and an egg, and handed the drawing to the geisha. This time she laughed delightedly. clapped her hands, and ran from the room. The traveller was pleased He waited con- tentedly for his meal Five or ten minutes passed. Then the door opened and two attendants staggered in with portable bath, brimful of hot water and cake of soap.

the army and navy may be necessary, but they do not add anything imme- diately to the wealth of the nation. Money spent in fighting the boil weeVll, in discovering new mineral resources, in establishing a new industry like that of making optical glass, in promoting foreign commerce, is money invested which often brings a very large return. It is impossible to estimate the value of money spent in improving public
 health, but certainly it brings an enormous return. We spend only a few mills out of every dollar in keep ing ourselves well.
 importance of Constructive Work Dr. Rosa makes a somewhat detailed study of his own organization. the bureau of standards. in order to show the value of this constructive work. In addition to fixing standards of weight, measure, ct cetera, this bureau does much industrial research. For ex-
 ample, it is now standardizing mater l ials in the building trades. There is
 no more desperate need right now than l that for houses. Standardized build i ing materials mean cheaper and more
 rapid construction, and lower rents with which to carry on this work on
 an adequate scale.
 l 4 gasoline shortage iinpends. The l bureau of mines and geological survey are at work developing new sources of ] fuel oil. They have accomplished
 much. But little more money would enable them to accomplish a great deal more.
 Examples like these could be multi piled almost indefinitely. This one cent
 out of every dollar which you give for constructive work is being used to the
 utmost. But it is not enough. If Il were increased to five cents you would scarcely notice the difference. The l increase would be relatively small foi

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21-Tilden has written a letter to the New York delegation withdrawing from the can vass on account of i'll health and in- ability to stand the fatigue of the cam paign and the duties of president if elected. The letter is a very feeling one.
 CINCINNATI, June 21.-Some of Tildens friends point out that his let ter is not absolute in it's declination and they would push his claims if there were any hope of his nomination; but it is apparent that it is hopeless because the great body of the delegates are accepting the letter as putting Til- den out of the race and thus relieving them of their obligation to support him.

A Campaign of Misrepresentation

]. It is as we predicted that the large corporations opposing the state highway department bill would endeavor against county and section of the state against section, defeat this measure as well proposed constitutional amendment to in crease the limit the states bonded indebtedness That is the plain plan of the campaign-to the southern counties against the northern counties and Maricopa. We do think that the people of tho mining counties are lacking in intelligence to i.be made to believe that while saving the mining companies little heavier taxation, for road purposes they saving themselves We do not think that fairly intelligent home farmer, merchant working living in mining county be made believe that his interests conflict with those of the home the farmer, the merchant the working in agricultural county
 Tn this campaign of discord, Maricopa is singled out for the vrulent attack, and misrepresenta tion Is being unscrupulously employed. The public outside of Maricopa is told that this county, the populous and the richest. unwilling to assume the burden building the state at large to assume it.
 As matter of fact Maricopa more than year ago bonded itself of s4,O0OO0O much larger than any county appropriated. It proposing a still larger sum, s4.5OO,OOo.
 Marcopa will not only take care of its roads but will pay very large share under the highway connecting roads, a larger share than any other county will Nothing could be farther that Maricopa wants penny any source AIaricopa roads. It wants what only intelligent advocates of good roads everywhere want-some plan for dinated system of state highways and it believes there be such system except under state road building
 The outside counties will profit more than Mari ropa from such system. Every other county has urgent business at the state capital The people drawn from all the the they will whatever inconvenience may be imposed upon them; however bad the roads be.

ONE CENT FOR DEVEL LOPMENT

purely scientific research which the government carries on, all of the care which it gives to public health, and all that it does to promote education The agricultural department, geologi- cal survey, bureau of mines, bureau of standards. coast and geodetic survey, bureau of fisheries. bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. bureau of labor statistics, womens and chill dren's bureaus, vocational education, the library of congress, the Smith sonian institution, and the public health survice all get their incomes under this group. And the aggregate of what they receive is just one per cent of the whole. Only one cent out of every dollar you give to the gov errment goes to pay for all of this constructive work.
 One Cent Economy
 This is surely an Illuminating fact in more ways than one. One reflects for instance, that most of the impas- stoned oratory about economy which goes into the Congressional Record is directed against this poor little one cent group. Senators with city con Stituencies Sternly denounce the amounts that are being spent to cure hog cholera and fight the boil weevil The bureau of labor statistics is called a prodigal waste of public funds. and the children's bureau is bitterly at 1 tackled every year. In the interests l of economy the coast and geodetic sur 1 vey was almost starved out of exist ence d few years ago, and the public | health service begs in vain for enough l money to carry on it's fight against venereal disease and tuberculosis.

By Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 16.-Out of every dollar you give to the gov ernment, more than ninety cents goes to pay for past and future wars, and scant one cent is spent on research, education and development work, in- cluding care of the public health.
 This is the most striking feature of an analysis of the government expen- ditures recently made by Edward B. Rosa, chief physicist of the bureau of standards. Our budget has a queer look when it is taken to pieces and ex understanding congress apparent " has never thought of doing.
 The United States government is now collecting an average of fifty dol lars from each inhabitant of the United States for it's expenses. which amounts, as shown by the appropriation bills for the current fiscal year, to S5,S6S,- 005, ,706
 Dr. Rosa divides this current budget into several groups and shows just what percentage of the money goes to each group. Tn the first group he places all expenses attributable to re- cent and previous wars, including in tereSt on the public debt, pensions, war risk insurance. rehabilitation and care Of soldiers deficit in the operation of railways, expenditures of the shipping board European food relief and the bonus to government employees to helN them meet the increased cost Ot living due to the world war In a second group he places the appropriations for the war and navy departments, which are still somewhat above peace-time basis. These two groups alone absorb e2. per cent of the total amount which the government is spending this year.
 Unavoidable Expenses
 Into a third group go the primary government functions which must be maintained, such as the salaries of con- gressman the president and his staff and the cost of maintaining fedora courts. penal institutions and purely administrative departments and com missions. These functions of gov ernment get only 3.2 per cent Of the total.
 The fourth group includes such pub lie works as improving rivers and har- Bors constructing public buildings, the reclamation service, the national parks the Alaska railway, and the fedora road work All of these activities to- gether get but three cents out of youl dollar
 Another group includes all research and all educational and developments work It includes nearly all of th' work which the government does tha is designed to make the country nor, productiVe-to make a unit of maI power yield more wealth.

The Case of Senator Reed

National committees have a very few established rules for disposition of problems which arise from time They have recognized the rule. instance. and the primary system as applied to the delegates the nation al conventions, rather suggests instructions to the delegates so committee is under obligation Ito recognize them.
