MORE DISREGARD FOR ECONOMY

TT is proper that this city should be rep.
i resented at the coming convention OF
welfare workers in milwaukee,. And II is
proper that the expenses Of the official rep
resentatives Of the Municipal Court to that
convention should be paid out Of the public
treasury.
Rut $1,000 seems to be moro money than
should be needed TO pay the legitimate OK
pensos Of an adequate number Of delegates.
Yet AZ the request Of the court the City
Council appropriated that amount. Mayor
Moore with whom nearly every one will
agree, vetoed the appropriation as cxtrava.
CANT. But the Council. more interested in
doing what tho Municipal Court wishes than
in preventing the waste of public money, has
ovcrriddon the veto.
The Court scems to own the Council and
to bc able to do with IL whatever il wills.
Last winter II secured appropriations for
tho salaries Of 1@5 attaches whom tho Mayor
said were unnecessary and there Is nothing
that it has asked for that has been refused
to il.
r. tho Court we're run primarily in the
interest of tho public there would he no
cause for complaint. but II is the annex OF
a political machine and is being used TO
intrench that machine in power.
The only consolation there is lies in the
hope that the Court is merely laying up
wrath against the day Of Judgment, when the
people shall have an opportunity to take
vengeance on the men who have been abusing
their power.

OBVIOUSLY. the public's duty toward

LENINE'S NEW WAY OUT

WHAT purports to bc an official report
w of tho conclusions of the Soviet Gov
-crnmcnt in Moscow justifes the skepticism
which we expressed the other day about tho
authenticity Of the announcement that
Lcnine had formally declared that the com
munistic experiment has failed
No such announcement was made. All
that happened was an announcement that
there was to be modification in the eco
nomiC policy In order to got industry moving.
The farmers are TO he allowed to keep two
thirds of their crops while one third Is to
bc taken by the Government. Attempts had
been made to take all tho crops. but the
farmers found ways to defeat this purpose.
They arc not Communists and they objected
to working hard all summer only to have
the proceeds Of their toll taken over for the
benefit Of others.
The larger industries are still to be regu
lated by the State. but they will be under
the supervision Of trade unions. which will
regulate the wages. Tho Communists e1
plain that the unions are TO act as the agents
of the Sovicts. The smaller industries are
TO he conducted by private persons or by
60 operative societies. and personal initiative
is TO be encouraged.
Ieonid Krassin. the Soviet Minister of
Trade in London. has explained that tho
Communists said from the beginning that
unless all Europe followed the Russian OK
ample tho Russians must compromise for
time. They have decided 'to make the
compromise" OF course. this means that
the Communist experiment has failed But
Tpnne and his friends are too shrewd poll
ticiaus to admit il. They are merely saying
that it will take longer than they antici-
pated to establish it on firm basis.
The rest Of us, however. need not worry
over tho tribulations Of the economic ex-
permenters In Russia, II they arc wise
enough to adopt a policy which will put
that country on lis foct again, no ono need

number of passengers have en-
ioyed aerial trips with the Daytona

ton and Bill Lindley. the past week.
Where the pilots have had two or
more passengers in one party for a
trip. the pilots have taken one each
in each OF their planes. and have
flown close together in The air. giving
the passengers the greater delight in
remaining in close proximity to each
other while in the air This method
is. too. more comfortable than with
two or more in the planes ut one
time, with one sitting on the lap of
the other.
Among some OF those who have
enjoyed trips the past few days with

II IS interesting TO note that Guy G.
Bailey on Saturday received notice
that he had been appointed by the
Aero Club OF America TO act as OH
cial representative OF that body. and
as observer for the Aero club at Day
tona Beach and for this district Of
Florida. This appointment no doubt
was made because of the great inter
est Mr. Bailey has taken in aviation,
and the fact that he is really regpon-
sible for this form OF entertainment
for tourists on the beach. which is
greatly appreciated by the tourists.
Mr. Bailey has also at all times en-
deayored to promote the interest and
safety Of both those enjoying flights
and pedestrians.
