What Do You Think of
the Times9
is, the Question

am personally asked and by
letter or telegram a dozen
times day.
The answer is that the
times are slowly bettering.
but the biggest help must
come from the United States
Government in taking off
taxes by stamps and other
wise.
The Secretaries of the
Cabinet are the heads of the
administration of the Govern
rnent business and they
should set the example of
cutting down expenses by
lengthening the hours to do
the work with less people, if
the way is not clear to reduce
war wages and keep all peo-
pie employed for short
hours.
Merchandise will be cheap
er when workpeople produce
more every day. Probably
none of us just now are do
ing our best. Some people in
all cities are waiting patient
ly, snothering their wants,
and keeping their money for
lower prices.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-03
November 8, 1921.

P. S. We have never liked
to put all New York into a
position before the world
that our people are "all
broke" and unable to pay
cash for give-away presents,
but be assured we will be lib
eral and obliging to all who
desire us so to be.

was issued today by the war depart

Need Of further national improve

counterbalance the steadily rising pro-
gress barometer.
Too Many Workers.
Generally speaking" the report
says, administrative departments OF
the government are top heavy in per-
sonnel and enmeshed in red tape
There is q vast amount Of paper
work. The methods Of the admins
tration are purely autocratic. There
is a lack of supervision and persona
contact"
Discussing the policy pursued dur.
ing the administration Of Governor
General Harrison from 1914 to 1921
the report declared:
The orderly process of promotion
on proved efficiency in the government

While there has been retrogres-
sion in the efficiency OF most depart
ments OF the government during the
past Few years, we do not feel that
the responsibility for this rests solely
upon the Filipinos, as the ultimate re-
sponsible officers and for the exer-
else of proper supervision was in the
hands of the American governor
general, whose duty it was to appoint
competent men at the heads Of tho
departments and bureaus, and above
all to exercise properysupervisiCn over
them"
The report asserts that the Filipino
people as a whole do not want inde-
pendence, while many who favor
severance Of American ties do not
comprehend the responsibilities OF
self-governnient.
Favorable Comment.
Economic conditions are favorably
commented upon and evidence Is sub
mitted by the WOod-Forbes mission
indicating progressive development.

$17.000.000 in 1920; postage receipts
from s3S0,O0O in 1913 to $780,00o In
1920, and the gross earnings of the
Philippine railway increased in the
same period from $380,0o0 to $3.50.
O0O The Manila railroads gross
earnings increased from $s,400,00O In
1914 to $5,900,000 in 1920.
The report recites the story of the
Philippine bank as one Of the most
"unfortunate and darkest pages In
Philippine history" Losses sustained
by the bank are estimated at &22,-

Preparing To Leave.


Washington, Dec. 1,.-(By the AS
sociated Press.)-The beginning OF
the second month OF the international
conference on limitation OF armament
TO give it the official title-f1nds the
conference sc far advanced toward
achievement of its announced obtec-
tives that in practically every visiting
delegation discussion OF homeward
reservations has become a matter of
immediate importance.
Outstanding in any tabulation OF
accomplishments is the four power
agreement. reached in plenary session
Saturday. BY this covenant the
United States. Great sBfitain, France
and Japan agreed ''as between them
sleeves to respect their rights in rela-
tion to the insular possessions and
dominfons in the region of the Pacific
ocean" for the next ten years.
Upon rstifcation Of this agreement

woven with the e~suing negotiations,
has been the quess Of Pacific naval
bases and Notifications upon which no
formal action has yet been taken, but
it is understood Japan has yielded
assurances Of the continuation of the
statu quo.
Land armaments have not been
taken up beyond the general discus

the county which was held at the
court house on Wednesday after
noon of this week was not as we'll
ATTENDED as had been planned on,
:as two hours before the meeting
was scheduled to start a heavy rain
fell. making the roads very muddy,
and as it was hard to tell whether
more showers were coming or not,
and this prevented many from COM
Ing who had made all arrangements
TO he present. Miss Ina Brinker,
state secretary Of the Nonpartisan
Clubs of the state, was present and
delivered a talk on the value OF
Sfederating the clubs of the county
and state, but no attempt was made
to federate the clubs here for the
reason that the attendance was so
small. Miss Brinker delivered an
5other talk at the Ingerson picnic
Yesterday afternoon, and it was
planned to perfect the federation
there.
Refreshments at this meeting
were served bv the members of the
Minnesota township Nonpartisan
Club, and consisted of ice cream,
cake and coffee. Quite a humber
Eof people from the city went to the
court house during the afternoon
and patronized the ladies so they
were able. to dispose of most of the
goods they had on hand.
