ease with which deficiency accounts may be created
more money has been spent by a department than had
been allotted to 1t, and congress is asked to authorize

THE nation can not afford extravaganza" secre-
tary Mellon said. land SO far as possible 1t must avoid
entering new fields of expenditures. Figures on cur
rent operations OF the government show that the coun-
try's finances are sound, but that the situation calls for
the utmost economy" But any economies which con-
gross may effect will be only partly effective unless the
people generally practice thrift, as Secretary Mellon
points out.
The policy Of living from hand to mouth" is no
more profitable to the government than 1t is to the in
dividual, and it is the aim of Secretary Mellon to place
the finances of the government on a basis that will en-
able it to meet maturing obligations promptly by re-
ducing current expenditures to the minimum.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
FREAK E

The counsel of several street railway companies in
aassachusetts has urged before the public utilities COM
mission of that State that IL is the duty of the 81 Nic
to furnish transportation free of cost to all riders. his ex
pense to be paid from the public treasury. He con-
ed that q street car is a moving highway and should be
publicly maintained in the same manner as highways
of the stationary variety.
This is one OF the fallacies against which re must
ever be on the alert. Happily they are becoming less
numerous. although but a short time ago each week
brought forth q new crop. OF course, public ownership
Of street railways is but a step to government ownership
Of steam railroads. There is no difference in principle
between a street car and an automobile. The latter
can traverse more streets than the former which Is
confined to a track. Why not provide an automobile at
public expense for every man? Channels in rivers and
harbors are dredged and kept in condition at public ex-
peage. Why not provide ships also and invite the peo-
po to ride on them free of charge?
Fortunately the drift to paternalism has changed
and private initiative is recognized as the means
through which the public welfare can be best served.
there are certain functions of government that are
Indispensable TO it. The maintenance of public order
and Of public health are among them. But for the
government to enter into any activity not fundamental
~ connected with its legitimate functions is wrong.
The transportation OF citizens about a city or from
state to state is certainly not within the scope of a
government such as ours.

FREEDOM FOR

Poor old Egypt seems to have been sadly misgov-
crued from the day OF the Pharoahs TO this. When
the Red Sea wasn't drowning a royal army on the heels
CT the fleeing Israelites, the immutable Sphinx was
making men mad by the leering question in It's coun-
tenance. Nor have modern days seen much improve
ment. The iron spine which Cecil Rhodes envision-
ed from the Cape to Cairo has not been realized under
British domination OF the dark continent. Neither
have the benefits arrived which were to have accompan-
led the great transcontinental railroad of which Rhodes
dreamed.
The British in Egypt have been far from successful.
Now. with immediate war dangers well passed. a new
light OF hope seems to have appeared. Friends OF
liberty everywhere will hope that this is not merely a
mirage on the Sahara of Egyptian history. Lord MIL
ner has just made his long expected report en- Egypt.
To attempt to govern the country in spite of a hostile
people, It says, is a difficult and disagreeabIe task and it
urges, not the establishment of a protectorate, bat the
recognition CT complete independence.
Great Britain. OF course will guard the Su.z canal
and the railway to Palestine. But guarantees to this
effect are to be embodied in a binding treaty with the
British government instead of in the constitution OF the
country. Lord Miners plan seems about to be ac-
cepted. 1t is TO be hoped that 1t will mean a real, not
a farcinl freedom for the land OF the feIlaheen.

THE DBLoYAL PRESS

Former Postmaster General Burleson had tue sat
isfaction of having his action in excluding from the
mails the Milwaukee Leader, the paper owned by Victor
Berger. convicted of violation of the espionage law. up
held by the supreme court. The Leader was denied
mail privileges on the ground that articles printed were
intended to create opposition to the government CT the
United States and to hinder this nation IN operations
during the war. Editorials in the Leader led to the
conviction of Berger.
While matter printed by the Leader and other anti
government papers came under the ban of tins espion-
age law. a wartime measure designed to curb efforts to
hinder our part in the war, the same Indictment to re-
pudiation OF the law is being carried on by radical news
papers, now that the espionage law has been repealed.
There will be sporadic cuthursts of radicalism in
the United States as long as the editors of anti-Ameri-
can publications and speaketS on the street corners are
permitted to preach their uEpatrict:c doctrines. The
minds Of thousands of aliens are poisoned against this
government by the appeals name possible through the
license granted 70 radicals.

ECONOMY PLEA IS TIMELY

The FIRST public statement on government bust
ness issued by Secretary of Treasury Mellon contains
sn appeal TO the public and to bankers in particular to
support the plan for rigid economy in governmentaf%x
nenditures, and he urged congress TO adopt the budget
system as soon as possible in order that expenses may
be curbed. While, as Secretary Mellon says, the show
ing of the treasury during the last eight months has
been encouraging. there is much TO be done in the way
OF curtailing expenditures in order to meet without
undue difficulty the heavy obligations which will ma
ture in two years or thereabouts. These obligations ap-
proximate $500. 600, 900.

A NEW MEAT SUPPLY

means Of bringing Santa Claus from his northern fast

will look to the reindeer herds OF the northland for a
urge propol ton of their neat suppl the animals
are most prolific, Twenty-eight years ago 1.%Se head
were imported into Alaska. The herds now number
should be sufficient for many generations.
But though the venison of reindeer IS a choice food,
the government breeders are not satisfied with 1t. An
expedition will be sent up to the Mount Mckinley reg
ion, where wild caribou, of which the bulls dress up to
400 pounds. are running. Some of these fine fellows
will be captured. crossed with the reindeer, and in a few
years the porker and the bovine will have a real rival
for the place of honor at the great American table.

Quick PEACE ACTION

While the inaugural address of President Harding
was firmly against the entrance of the United States In
- the league OF nations, almost the first act Of his ad-
ministration was directed to the preservation Of peace
between nations. A note was despatched 10 Panama
and Costa Rica those countries to cease fighting and
Yield their differences to arbitration. Both are mem
hers OF the league, but nothing came from that quarter
n the interests OF peace. 1t remained for the United
States In this instance, as 1t doubtless will on many
occasions in the future, to take practical steps for the
suppression of war.
