CITY PLANNING.

Topeka has been provided with a
city planning commission which might
reasonably be expected to be doing
something toward the Improvement
and beautifying of the city. But it
should be remembered that the COM
mission has no law and no money.
Kansas City has a similar commits
sion. which has money but no law.
Until city planning commissions shall
be provided with both laws and
money, therefore, it must be apparent
that their work can hardly be more
than advisory and that any progress
made in the direction of making the
cities more attractive places in which
to live must depend on the people
themselves.
Perhaps it is with some such idea
in mind that the editor of a kansas
City paper prints the following:
A city planning commission may
provide a far sighted plan for a city's
development. The commission by it.
self cannot make the city attractive
Legislation by legislature or by coun-
Gil cannot make it attractive. The
only way to make a city attractive is
for the individual family to insist or
buying or building only attractive
homes. and particularly to take the
responsibility for making it's home
grounds attractive.
Spring is the time to begin. Grass
seed may be sown, shrubbery planted
and cultivated, flowers provided for
and painting done. If every person
in a block makes his place neat and
trim, the whole block will help the
appearance of the city. A single neg
ligent home owner may spoil the work
of dozen neighbors.

Some time. prices will be reduced to
near normally, aided by drastic retail
reductions, lowered wages, increased
efficiency-sacrifice and co-ordina-
ton all around. Immediate apprecia-
ton of this and prompt action on the
part of each element, says the Bache
Review, would bring Sterilization
quickly, but in a great democracy in
dependence works against mass move
ments for the general good, and offfy
the force of events, hard clubbing on
each individual head, will bring about
the co-ordinated march to better
times. And it will take a long time
to get the discordant interests into
line for the start forward. But tho
recovery will be slow, the hardest part
has been gone thru. The tide may be
said to have turned. speculation has
been unloaded, crops are being mar
keted, some industries are feeling
their way to reopening or to more
activity, the credit situation has been
improved. banking conditions strength
ened, and a path prepared for greater
confidence. The Level of stability,
where there is a steady flow of pur-
chases, has not been reached, either
in retail or wholesale areas. It will
not be, until an all-around readjust-
ment of wages has been effected, and
this in turn would be greatly helped
by reduction in living costs In a
great upheaval such as deflation has
brought about, it is each man for him
self; each is striving to maintain the
advantages which came thru the war.

Only a very limited number Of
Canadians have received the distinc-
ton Of knighthood. Among them
Gilbert Parker stands out most prom
! inently, for he has the unique record
Of acquiring the honor solely as .
recognition Of his literary gifts.
Since making him a knight in 1902,
the British Empire has conferred ad-
ditional honors upon him. He was
created baronet of the first class in
1915, q privy councillor in 1915 and
later made honorary colonel Of the
ancient and aristocratic Kent Royal
Garrison artillery. He also has col
lection Of regular and special college
degrees.
To most of us he is more impress
sive as plain Gilbert Parker, one OF
the foremost novelists of the day,
Sho was once a poor boy and who
rose to his present prominence
through the sheer force Of ability.
Ee has written about thirty novels,
q book of poems, several successful
plays and some books on travel. 1t
was the great Canadian story, "The
Right of Way" which established
him firmly. This paper has secured
one of his very successful stories,
"No Defense" for serial printing. 1t

Backing up the statements Of Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon, Presi-
dent Harding went before the senate
and urged that action on the soldier
bonus bill be deferred indefinitely.
The reasons given by both the Presi-
dent and the secretary were purely
financial, and both Of them declared
in effect that If the bill were passed
tax reduction would be impossible and
the financial stability of the country
would be imperiled
81 know the feelings Of my own
breast and that of yours and the CRATE
full people Of this republic" the Presi-
dent said. "But no thoughtful person
possessed with all the facts, Is ready
for added compensation for the
healthy, self-reliant masses Of our
great armies at the cost Of treas
ury breakdown, which will bring Its
hardships to all the citizens of the re-
public"
At the same time the President de-
clared himself most emphatically In IA
vor Of the fullest measure Of relief
to the disabled veterans of the World
war. He asked that the bonus bill be
recommitted to the finance commit
tee, and suggested that congress con-
centrate on tax and tariff revision,
especially the former. He told the
senate that "there Is confessed disap-
pointment that so little progress has
been made In the readjustment and re-
duction of the wartime taxes"
The Democratic senator's began q
fierce fight against the motion to re-
commit the bonus bill, Senator Rob-
inson Of Arkansas assuming the Lead
ership because Senator Underwood Is
opposed to the bonus. However, 1t
was taken for granted that the motion
would prevail.
The Sweet bill, providing for ade.
quate relief for disabled veterans and
for the consolidation Of relief agen-
cies was favorably reported by the
subcommittee to the senate finance
committee, but its progress was halt
ed again when the senator's heard Mr..
Smoot's prediction, based on official
estimates, that the probable increase
Of expenditure to carry out the pro-
visions Of the measure would be close
to $50O,0O0,0OO annually.
