President Harding i. said to have been

Chairman Good Of the House committee on
appropriations has a word Of admonition TO
every man and woman voter. for these parlous
times of financial perplexity. 1t might prob
ably be said of a great many congressional con-
stituents that their watchword is Let George

they elect him. They pick out representative
whom they think possesses the qualifications
and send him to Congress freighted with all
the wisdom necessary to solve any proDien
"As one studies and analyses the balance
sheet of corporation in which he is stock
holder so should all study very carefully
the balance sheet of the nation of which We are
all a part" says Mr.. Good. IF we should do
this constantly and keep ourselves Informed at
all times the subject of national expenditures
and advise representatives in Congress
more frequently and more intelligently, on the
subject of economy. would have a more busi-
ness-like administration Of public affairs. At
this time such consideration would result in
Congress refusing to enact legislation which
will call for enormous appropriations out of
the Treasury of the United States, which, in
the end must be met by taxation.
"At first blush,' Chairman Good continues,
the expenditure of four billions of dollars a
year to conduct the affairs Of the national gov
ernment in time of peace seems excessively
large 1t is large: larger than is necessary
economically to run the government in time of
peace, and, after the indefinite and unliquidated

man Good He points out that one item OF ex-
pense alone is greater by 25o,00o.000 than the
total cost of administering the whole govern
ment in 1907 This item is the interest on the
national debt which is almost one billion dol

Continuing his appeal for greater interest by
tho nubljc at large in the affairs of government,
Chairman Good contends:

Evidence is brought to Washington by
visitors from all parts of the country that the
people are thinking more about business than
about politics just now. and that their interest
in the republican administration is largely what
the republicans going to do to help business
and prosperity, and they care very little about
the republican party itself
You cannot get any enthusiasm over party
politics" is the summing up Of this situation
made by Gov Allen of Kansas to a man who
saw him a few days ago The people in sec
tions where normally politics rage always are
not giving a rap about democrats or republicans
but are looking only for results from the turn
over Of the party control of Congress and the

If World Is to Be Safe for Democracy,
Law Must Not Confer Special Privileges

Since far-off Babel the call Of the

l can readily understand how
those who feel themselves to be
the victims Of corporate greed be-
gin at once the old system of re-
dressing their grievances. when
they get the chance-not by plac-
ing every one upon an equality,
but by granting to themselves ad-
vantages in the way OF special
privileges and exemption from the
operation of laws which bind
others. OF a surety, if men are to
keep on fighting for control and
to use power when they get it
only for themselves regardless Of
others. who has any right to COM
plain? If the theory is to be:
you stole a horse and went un-
whipped of Justice; now is my

Of equal and exact justice is it
to enact laws to punish trusts and
then to exempt large bodies of
men from their operation:y How
much real progress in democratic
tendencies in government is made
when the special privileges of yes
terday are taken from those who
hold them and tomorrow are given
to others? To have no statutory
law is only. worse than not to have
that law rest equally upon all.

liquor dealers who are declining TO

Under an opinion by former Attor-

authorities were allowed to limit the
sale of liquor for medicinal purposes
in wholesale quantities to wholesale
druggists. but the wholesale liquor
dealers were given "a reasonable
time" by Commissioner Kramer in
