. SMALL NEWSPAPERS BEST

The attitude of congress toward the newspa- pers of the country has never been so definitely set forth by one of it's members as by United States Senator Lenroot in an address delivered this week before the American Pulp and Paper Manufacturers association at its annual ban quet
 He stated that thorough study of both daily and weekly newspapers had been made by the government and from the data thus obtained the conclusion had been reached that the smaller newspapers are doing more to stabilize public opinion and cultivate real Americanism and loy- alty than the big dailies.
 They are less tainted, he said, with socialism or bolshevism and are working with the govern ment rather than against it. Instead of stirring up class feeling, making labor dissatisfied with it's lot and supporting "outlaw" strikes in their efforts to paralyze business, the small city and town newspapers have urged cooperation, arbi- tration and afecognition of the rights of capital as we'll as those of workmen
 Senator Lenroot definitely asserted that whatever may happen as the result of the pres ent shortage and high price of print paper the government would protect the interests of the small newspapers. This sentiment was heartily applauded by the 1,1O00 paper and pulp men who were present.-Fourth Estate.

MORE MOEUR OR LESS?

The internal troubles of the democrats at the state capitol may have some good effect in letting the people know what has been going on in the state land office for the past few years. The peo- pie in general do not care much just what the in- telnal troubles of the state offceholders are but they are very much interested in knowing what has become of the state lands and the money sent that office for purchases and leases. In some in- stances money sent in 1916 for leases IS still in the hands of the land commissioner and the would-be leassee is still waiting to find out what has become of his application and money. At tormey General Jones advises that he is going to run for the same office for third term on platform that no citizen shall pay more than the legal charges for public lands. He has been on the land board since it was first organized and it would appear that he had some knowledge of after all these years.
 What the small stockman and would-be lessee would like to know is, what becomes of the mon- ey sent in? How can it be recovered when once it is sent to the land commissioner?
 If Jones is sincere he will have full inves- tigation and show the people who got the land, how they got the land and what became of the money that went into the land office
 These are the questions being asked by the general public and have been asked for long time, and there seemed to be no answer. A full investigation can do the democratic party no harm and may do it whole lot of good in show ing that some one of the party are interested in the rights of the people.

GOT OUR MONEYS WORTH

An assistant secretary of the navy complain ed that the republican congress has spent two million dollars Investigating waste of public funds, and day or so later the Attorney General announced that on one class of contracts alone prosecutions would be brought to recover $4,- 0O0,000. By the time the wasters have all been brought to justice, the republican expenditures for investigations win prove to be a good invest ment. But even if no recoveries and convictions should result-which may very likely be the case with democrat prosecuting grafters under a democratic adminstration-.-still the investiga- tions will be worth while, for without the expos ures there would have been no end to the extrav- agance and waste.

POLITICAL PROFLIGACY

Talk about we, the people, being on spend ing debauch and an orgy of waste-Uncle Sam had better turn his eyes inward and take look at his own Coal Oil Johnny" and Drunken Sail or" propensites. If ever anybody in this wide world ever did burn up money, in tons and bales, it is this sef-same Uncle of ours. Alexander the Great, Nero, Napoleon, Louis XIV and all others whom history awards palms for incneration of rubes, kopecks and yen, are all pikers and in the white chip class.
 We all love old Uncle Sam, even to the spin ach on his chin, but it is sure time he was sober ing up from this prolonged money-spending drunk or he is going to wake up some fine morn- ing with case of busthead that no bromide on earth will cure.
 He says now his expense account for the next fiscal year will be NINE BILLIONS OF DOL LARS. Digest that, if you can! Holy suffering eats Nine Billions of Dollars! Who-oe-e! Wow!
 And of this, says the congressional appropri- ation committee, there will be deficit of $3,- OO,O0O,OO0 because in spite of the fact that the long arm of the government is reaching deep into every one of our pockets and removing, di- rectly or indirectly, half of all we make, it will not be enough to pay the fiddlers who furnish the jazz music, and the proigate politicians who furnish the chin music for the Dance of Death. !"
 And this is as much reason for high cost of living unrest and discontent as is the profiteer- ing.
 Excessive taxation for partisan loot and pub lie waste is the biggest issue of the coming cam . paign.-Chandler Arizonan.
