SPRING TnAw IN PROFITS.

Reference to the Spring Thar IN
Profits in our Postoffce Department
may shed some light on the method
OF figuring profits in our own STATE
owned industries. Each day the
Nton) Ptrositinsl press breaks forth
IN a column or " telling OF n
profits of the Bank OF North Dakota
or the Dakota mill The close ohsev-
er detects hat the profits Of the bank
lie principally in the inter@ tina,
has not been paid on money hat has
been received from bonds thai have
lot been issued. A simple deduction,
likewise, might reveal that the great
est profits of the Drake mill lie In
the flour that has moi been ground
from wheat that has not been bought.
Here is what the Nations Bust
ness" says of the p~oetoffice profits:
LAS a department stoEe our post
office department. would have a bad
time Of it.
When the general manager talks
Of taking a profit of $35,1ss,s7s in
seven yeats as toll for an exchange Of
knowledge in a democracy, he would
have to reckon with the bureau of in
ternal revenue, the fair price commit
tee, the department of justice, the
federal trade commission and the
Consumers league. In short order
ne would the day he was born to
gather these profits.
"Analyzing them, the p%rofiteering
arm of the department of justice
would convict him on his own evil
dence of "eheck shaving" Of taking
advantage of unlettered foreisners
through the exploitation Of the mon
ey order system at current abnormal
rates of exchange. And to receive a
million and a half in parcel post in
surance premiums, pay $500, 900
damages, call the other 5000, 900 prof
its and tell the other policy-holders
TO 1901 elsewhere for their damages
would bring about his ears a dozen
governmental agencies, including 4
Hughes commission, and a fraud orr
der from the F. Q. department.,
But happily he would have, an
alibi. He could set up confession
OF avoidance" He could point to,.the
recent ruling of the interstate ON
merce commission ordering him to
pay the railroads for Transporting
mails l oo,ooo,ooo wrongfully with
held since 1916, and thus confess that
MS $s5'ooo,ooo profit was in reality
a deficit to date of $65, 900, 600.
. course, this would be a bitter
pill since he has made it clear that
we should m~easu the efficiency Of
tne postal administration by the 'un-
broken line of annual surpluses.'
Applying his own logic and his
own basis Of measurement, it would
seem that the postmaster general had
holsted himself on his own yardstick."

DAYLIGHT SAVING.

Many cities over the country are
now debating the question of daylight
wxtnx. but in most instances it is be-
ing taken up by local communities
ard no longer has the sanction of fed
eral legislation.
Petitions are now being circulated
in the city Of Grand Forks asking
that the city council pass an ordi-
nance setting the clocks Of Grand
Forks back one hour during the sum-
nler months.
In many of the industries of our
city. it would be quite convenient for
tho employer. and the employees to
comply with such q regulation or to
initiate the program for themselves in
their Own business. We n quite
conceive. however. that it is wise for
tie daylight saving plan to be gen
orally adopted by the business men
Of Grand. Forks, if they take into con-
sideration the people with whom
they.amust do business, q large per-
centage of whom are farmers. for the
farmers cannot operate under the
daylight saving plan to advantage.
This for the reason that regardless
of the hour that may be registered
on the clock the dew seems to appear
and disappear at about the same
time year in and year out and it is alb
solutely. impossible for the farmers
to start certain kinds of work until
the dew has left the crops.
For the above reasons, even when
the railroads and all other businesses
were operating on. the new time
schedule a great many Of the farm
crs still operated on the old sched-
ule. This aused a great deal of con-
fusion to both the city MEN and the
farmer and for Grand Forks to close
it's places Of business at S O'clock in
stead of 6 o'clock, according to
standard time, would doubtless not
only be a great Inconvenience to the
farmer trade of Grand Forks but
would in fact result in a loss of bust
ness to our city. The farmer and
his automobile would be headed in
the direction of some, town which he
would find operating on standard
time rather than on the daylight saw
ing plan.
The business men Of Grand Forks
should give this matter immediate
consideration with a view to doing
justice to themselves. to the farmers
and to the city of Grand Forks as
well.

SHALL COLLEGES RETRENCH2

Retrenchment for the Universities:
that is what Henry Smith Pritchett,
president of the Carnegie Foundation,
virtually proposes i'll his i~ncisive and
unsparing report. He attacks what
he regards as the waste of great sums
expended annually, in connection with
university work, on useless semblance
OF research. He charges likewise that
universities in their desire to increase
their student enrolment have inflat-
ed their curricula so as to include
a useless multiplicity Of subjects at
a needless frightening of the faculty
payroll. He even accuses institutions
Of learning of carrying a proportion
OF inferior or incompetent teachers,
kept in employment by the too secure
tenure of office now grown custom
airy.
inese assertions are put out at the
very moment when the campaign for
funds to- defray salary increases to
college teachers reaches the highest
pitch.AT The report seizes this moment
to urge THE universities ITO take
stock Of themselves" before pressing
their appeals further. This amounts
by Implication to calling upon, them
to correct a material degree of waste
fulness in their PROFESSIONAL outlay.
andaRply the savings to the i'm
provemcnt of the salary scale for
the really useful teachers.
Criticism so forcible, from the OBJ
