PRESS COMMENTS.
EIGHT HUNDRED
MILLIONS FOR WAR

Appropriations made and pending for
the support of the government during the
fiscal year beginning July | next aggre-
gate S4, ,O95, 10O,IS7. This compares with
S25 sos, ,967, ,517 for the last war year ended
July |, 1919, and with ordinary expendi-
lures, exclusive of the postal service, of
S67S, S,677 .S5S for the final year of our
neutrality.
So long as the one item of interest on
the public debt amounts to more than the
whole cost of government IN peace times,
il is self-evidcnt that we are not likely
soon to see n near approach to the figures
of the fiscal year 1917, but what can be
the necessity for appropriations OF S39o,-
OOO, 900 for the army and S433, 100000 for
the navy for the year ending june 80,
1921? With no war IN prospect to the
knowledge of the people, we are thus To
spend for military purposes alone $S2S,-
600, 900, which is Sl50,000,000 in excess
of our entire ordinary public outlay before
the conflict with Germany.
In these staggering sums and startling
contrasts n tax-burdened people may see
the price they are to pay for the desperate
political intrigues at Washington against
the treaty of peace and the League OF
Nations. TO most peope the high cost
of living is not easily to be explained, but
the high cost of armaments and the cause
of it arc rs plain as a pike-statt. Those
who refuse to cooperate for peace must

More Pay for Postal Employees,

The House of Representatives Thurs
day afternoon. passed the bill providing
for an increase in the pay Of postal en-
ploves. The necessity for such move
has long been apparent and this IS an
item of legislation the Congress should
have attended to months ago
While this measure. Il finally enacted,
will add about So. 100000 annually to
government expenditures j. IS Just one
and should be approved From one point
Of view il will be warranted by the large
increase in postal revenues under the
administration Of Postmaster-Gencral
Burleson. and even without this situation
would be not only justified but demand
cd. by the plain fact that the postal en-
ployes for years have been compelled to
put up with miserably insufficient pay.
Large public interests depend upon this
proposed increase. The postal service
has been impaired BY numerous resigna-
tions, many employees leaving to accept
the more rcmunerative places now OBJ
tainabIc, and il being impossible to secure
men to fll their places, the mail service has
suffered grievously by reason Of insufficient
help. II is hoped the Senate will concur
in this increase bill.

Promise of Lover Prices.

Prices and the high cost of living are
on the downward trend. probably not to
be halted in their orderly course until a
point of stability or of some permanency
is reached. This. is the opinion of expert
financicrs and economists in and out of
Congress. That the peak of the period
of initiation has been passed and that
the nation is now to experience a period
of orderly defiation, is the belief OF many
students of economies.
The call made upon the Federal Re-
serve banks by Governor Harding of the
Federal Reserve Board for the curtail-
ment of credits except for essential pro-
ductions, and the gospel preached by the
governor and now being spread broad
cast over the nation by officers of the
reserve banks. that the financial situation
calls for sacrifices akin to those of war
time and for increased production, in
creased savings and lessencd waste and
consumption is having a wholesome ef-
feet.
1t is predicted there will now be less
speculation in the various markets and
that money held by spectators will be
turned into the channels of commerce to
relieve in part the strain upon the finan-
cial situation. To relieve this strain and
provide for the production and move
ment Of crops is the problem of the banks,
and finally the problem Of the public, for
through increased production and the
practice of proper economy, the public
can solve the difficulties.
1t is in such period as this the value
Of the Federal Reserve System is shown.
Through this system. il is possible to keep
a firm control of the financial situation
and apply the necessary remedies in time
to oavert anything in the nature Of panic.
Through the orderly process Of dcfiation,
as is predicted will result if the public
and the banks cooperate with the Federal
Reserve system, the least possible injury
will be done TO anyone. That the public
aud the banks are cooperating and will
continue TO do SO in the plan for greater
production and saving already is shown,
Let Us hope that through this agency
and the earnest cooperation Of All other
agencies, the trend towardsloWcr prices
will continue steadily until the normal
basis is reached. The people have long
been irritatcd and outraged hy ahnormally
high prices and have right 20 demand

RATIFICATION AND REFERENDUM

A Legislature today is Just what Legs
laturo was in l7S9-that is the purport of
the Supreme Courts decision yesterday,
Critics of tho validity of the Eighteenth
Amendment argued that in States where
the referendum exists recourse TO the
referendum was necessary for ratifIcatlon
of Constitutional amendment. hS
Supreme Court has rejected this con-
tcntion. The court lays it down that the
trainers of the Constitution clearly under
stood bv the word Legislature nothing
but a dclbcrative representative assembly.
Whenever in other connections the Con-
stitution makers intended to invoke direct
action by the people they provided Tor IT
in accurate language Moreover, ratifi-
cation is not legislative act. IL is dis
tinct process, and the rules for carrying
il out, laid down by the Constitution, arc
not affected by changes IN the Legislative
machinery of the States
Had the court decided differently, ratifi-
cation would have been invalidatcd in
about one-third Of the States which APP
proycd the amendment The Prohibition
Amendment Is now safe The Nolstead
law IS still 10 be passed upon. But If the
Supreme Court ruling on war prohibition
Is a precedent, that law will also stand.
Suffrage IS an even more obvious gamer.
ii the new Republican appeal 70 Vermont
and Connecticut Is needed. If North Caro-
lina ratjfcs. the Suffrage Amendment will
still have margin Of but two or three
States. But that margin now promises TO
be safe Scranton Republican.

Mr.. Willis, "for two reasons: In the
first place we have failed to hear

1t is one thing to make a promise: it
is another thing to deliver it. We re-

"The second reason is that thu

the wide publicity which has been
