GOVERNED

IL Is said that the United States
j. tie most over governed nation in
the world, due to the flood of new
laws enacted at each session of our
state legislatures. There is little
doubt but that we are too prone to
attaropt the cure of small evils by
legislation. Fewer laws and better
ones are highly to be desired.

the fifteenth session for the example
they set in reducing the number of
new measures and the devoting of

surpass the splendid record of its
predecessor in this respect.

There are incarcerated in our
state penal institution a group of
men whose average age is surpris-
ingly young. Many OF them are first
offenders. Moral degeneracy through
the requirement OF vicious habits
and additional criminal tendencies
are difficult to avoid unless these
youths are segregated from hardened
habitual criminals.
First offenders should have such
housing ficilities as will make segre-
cation possible, and be provided
with mental and physical activities
that will tend toward their better
ment. Our laws now require the
State Board of Education to prepare
courses Of study for all grades and
make provision for the giving of
university extension work to all
prisoners held under the jurisdiction
of the warden of the penitentiary.
Means should be provided by which
these courses can be given. BY

incarcerated will be improved and

REORGANIZATION

American Ideals are more potent
than statutes in shaping our destiny
as nation. 1t is a patriotic duty
to preserve and exalt them. Can we
hope that those who neither speak
nor read our language will adopt
our ideals or appreciate our institu-

than remain foreigners in thought

aside his morning paper.
Perhaps it is. Yet in the last twenty
four hours, he has travelled two million
miles. Some jaunt, that, even for one
who is accustomed to hitting the pace.
But of course, he travelled along with
the earth, and never gave a thought
to the speed at which he was tearing
through space. We seldom more than
half think when we do any thinking at
all.

After an all-day conference, 8.
Davies Warf1eld, president Of the as

said that both sides feel convinced

WHERE THE NATIONS MONEY

Ninety-three cents out of every dol;
lar Of Uncle Sans money this year
goes for war, past present
or to come, according to an expert IN
the United States Bureau of Standards.
Only one cent of every dollar goes
for education and the Improvement OF
the public health.
Comics of this remarkable analysis
of our national budget may be secured
on application to DR.. E. B. Rosa, Unit
ed States Bureau of Standards, Wash
ington, ID. c.
Whereas, the cities spend an average
of Sc per capita for education per year,
and the states and private agencies
about 50 per capita per year for educa
ton, Uncle Sam with his huge billions
only spends 6 cents per capita for edu'
cation-and some of that goes to the
Gland grant, colleges for military
drill!
Without anybody in the country real
ling it. your Uncle seems to have De-
come obsessed with militarism to the
exclusion of the normal balanced inter
ests Of the people.
The army and navy have developed
a "teehnique' for adroitly extracting
from Congress huge appropriations de-
MED to all other departments.
According to the analysis quoted
above. the national budget this year re-
presents tax of $50 upon every man,
woman and child in the United States
and Of this amount $46.50 goes for wal
and miitarism.
Now on top of it, Congressman Julius
Kahn, Of California, genially proposes
system of universal military training
which would cost the country, accord
ing to Congressman Mondell, the Re
publican floor leader and. watchdog Of
the treasury, 81, 125, 000, 900 year.

U. S. STAND IS SHOWN
America Backs Up Allies IN Holding
Germany Responsible for War
and Morally Bound 70 Pay
the Limit.

Neutrality-suspicious. statement Of
the United States as to German repara-
lions is contained in an exchange Of
communications with German govern
ment officials made public by the state
department. They are in the form Of
memoranda transmitted through Lor-
ing Dresel, American high commission
or at Berlin.
The German communication, dated
March %, was written by DR.. Walter
Simons, German foreign minister, and
asserted it was "entirely clear both
to the government and people that
Germany must make reparations to
the limit of her ability to pay" but
sought organization by unbiased ex-
perts" to determine the extent OF her
ability.
y. 8. Reparation Stand Given.
In his reply, dated March 20, Sec
rotary Of State Hughes expressed
pleasure at Germany's "unequivocal
expression" Of it's desires to pay to
the limit of ability and declared the
United States Stands with the gov
eminent of the Allies in holding Ger
many responsible for the war and
therefore morally bound to make rep
aration, so far as may be possible"
"This government" Secretary
Hughes memorandum said, believes
that it recognizes in the memorandum
of DR.. Simons sincere desire on the
part Of the German government to re-
open negotiations with the Allies on
a new basis and hopes that such nego-
tfations, once resumed, may lead to a
prompt settlement which will at the
same time satisfy the just claims Of
the Allies and permit Germany hope
fully to renew its productive activ:
ities."
Harding Favors Separate Peace.
! President Harding is understood to
have approved immediate reintroduc-

congress convenes next week. Final
! decision has not been reached, how.
ever, it was indicated by republican
leaders as to when it would be pressed
for adoption.
! Hopes are said to be entertained in
administration circles that definite pro-
gress toward concord OF nations on
new world peace program might be
possible within short time. For that
reason, it was intimated, a period Of
three months or so might be allowed
to elapse before action on the resolu'
ton was taken by congress.

Special Commission Urges Con-.
solicitation of Bureaus Under
One Executive Officer.
LEGION BACKS Plan
Would Furnish Quick Relief for Men
Who Have Suffered Under Divided
Government Responsibility,
Chairman Dawes Says.

Washington-Progress in solving
the governments problem Of caring
for former service men, whether sick
or disabled, or physically fit but hav-
ing financial claims to be adjusted, was
made here at the first meeting Of Pre-
sident Harding's special commission,
headed by Charles G. Dawes Of Chi
cago and appointed to inquire into the
situation. 1t was unanimously agreed
that the administrative machinery now
operating separately in the several
fields of soldiers relief, should be con-
solidated under one central authority,
probably a new executive officer who
would be responsible directly to the
President.
Bureau Heads Present.
Heads of all the bureaus having to
do with treatment OF the war veter-
ans were present and in reply to
questions from Chairman Dawes and
Colonel F. w. Galbraith, Jr., national
commander of the American Legion,
said they favored the general idea Of
a consolidated service bureau. This
Endorsement, Charles Dawes said,
promised quick solution of the prob
lem as it related to the general ad-
ministration of aid for men who are
alleged to have suffered under the
system of divided governmental re-
sponsibility.
Placing the Public Health COM
pletely in charge Of the proposed new
executive head, to the exclusion of all
but soldier work was favored, but this
suggestion brought from medical au.
thorities present statements that such
q course would endanger the national
health.
Sawyer Enters Objection.
Brigadier General Charles e. Saw.
yer, who appeared as the Presidents
personal representative, declared EN-.
phatically that the Public Health ser.
vice should be retained as an entity.
He was supported by others of his
profession who asserted it would be
an unwise step taken at the expense
Of the nations health. Chairman
Dawes, however, expressed the belief
that this service could be placed un.
der the one directing head without en-.
dangering the Public Health, because
the official in charge would not be an
extremist who would seek the better.
ment of soldiers to the detriment OF
the nation as whole. .---
1.-THE essence of the whole thing
Mr.. Dawes said, in discussing the work
Of the investigating commission, IFS
speed. Something remedial should be
done without delay, without waiting
for construction of permanent hospi.
tails. Soldiers now without treatment
will have passed the stage where hos
pitfalls will help them If we wait.'

Deaths Stand at Ten In Pacific Coast
Disaster. -.-.

Seattle, Wash.-Federal steamboat
inspectors have begun preliminary in
vestigation into the collision off Point
Wilson, in the Strait of Juan de Fuca
between the Admiral Line passenger
steamer Governor and the freighter
West Hartland, which resulted in the

termine whether officers Of either ship
should be charged with responsibility
for the accident, was held behind
closed doors.
Ten persons-seven passengers and
three members Of the Governors crew
were counted missing. Officers of
the Admiral Line said it was possible
this number might be reduced.
