PUBLIC SPENDING LESS.

According to statements issued by
the United States Treasury Depart
ment, people are rapidly getting over
their postwar extravaganza. 1t is
noticeable throughout the retail
world, that people are buying with
less frequency and greater discrim-
ination. 1t is to this fact that the
economists are ascribing tho threat
ened fall in price, said to be a near
certainty. Apparently, H. public
has only Just begun to rouse to the
fact that high prices are directly
traceable to its own desire to get rid
of money, and that they will fall
only when the public itself gets tired
of paying excessive prices and
throwing away good money.
Another indication of the awaken
my of thrift tendency lines lies in
the increase in sales of Government
bonds Of low denominations. Banks
and brokerages throughout the conn
try are feing flooded with inquiries
for these fonds and other small

the Democratic rule in Ohio as in
the magnificent record of the par

a striking parallel. The Democratic

pike and is prepared to fill all
wholesale orders for fresh meat
promptly. 1t is understood practi-
cally all of the local dealers have
assured him of their patronage and
Mr.. Hon is confident of building up
splendid trade from surrounding
towns. With the exception of the
meat sold by the Wilson Meat Mar
ket practically all the meat retaiIed
in Mt. Sterling is shipped in. In a
conversation with Mr.. Hon he as
sured us he will be able to sell as
cheap as the large packers and in
many instances cheaper, and he
hopes to give the consumer better
meat for less price. An enterprise
of this character has long been need
ed in Mt. Sterling and with so cap
able a man as Mr.. Hon at its head
it's success seems assured. We be-
lieve his enterprise is worthy of the
support Of our local merchants.

Gov. Cox And The
Budget System

One of the greatest achievements
of James Middetown Cox as Cover
nor of Ohio was in putting on the
statute books of his native State the
budget system which has saved mil
lions annually. The old haphazard
expenditure Of the peoples money
gave way when Mr.. Cox, who, as a
member Of the Committee on Appro-
priations in the House Of Represent
atives at Washington, had learned
of its evils, became Ohio's Chief Ex-
ecutive.
The Governor of Ohio has been
called conservative progressive
and if the two terms do not seem
to apply to the same person, the apt
ness of the application in this case
can be seen in the reforms which
have been instituted by him in car
rying out the campaign pledges
which have placed him three times
in the Governors chair. For while
Governor Cox believes in economy
and conservatism he is not of the
slight wad" type. As was said by
the American Review of Reviews in a
recent summary of the record of
Governor Cox, "the reforms and ex-
tensions which Governor Cox has
put through after pledging himself
in campaigns to do so, if elected,
cost millions. But these additional
expenditures have always been met
by the normal increase of receipts
from existing revenue sources"
While the budget system is an out
standing and conspicuous mark Of
and economy it represented
only beginning in the Cox pro-
gramme for State betterment. It is
to Governor Cox that the reorganiz-
alton of the schools of Ohio is due.
This. change has represented the es-
tablishing of about 1000 good
schools with modern equipment to
take the place of about 5000 old
one-room. shacks which
were called school houses. The i'm
provement was not sudden. The work
has extended over the three terms
which Govrnor Cox has served
Right along will school improve
nent Governor Cox has urged the
good roads movement Ohio owes
% him the impetus which has given
he State magnificent network of
and main market roads.
The State is now spending, with
Federal aid, some $50, 100000 a year
IN road building. Roads and educa-
ion have each helped the other.
