ARMAMENT REDUCTION AND
EXPENDITURE.

There are point and timeliness in the remark
Of Congressman Fess, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee in relation to the savings
to be effected by the reduction Of armament and the
care that must be exercised lest this saving be made
the excuse for still more lavish expenditure: 1t is
pointed out by Mr.. Fess that in anticipation of the
savings to be effected by the reduction OF rn,ament
we may expect attempted raids on the treasury
from the proponents of freak legislation of all kinds
who will proceed upon the theory that inasmuch
as the United States is saving millions by reducing
ITS war expenditure those millions will, now be
available for whatever purpose the nation chooses
to.apply them to. Two facts are to be borne in
mind in this connection.
First: while the reduction of armament will
Immediately result in a very considerable saving,
and the removal of the risk of war, if that risk\is re-
moved. will eventually result in savings still more
vast, only a part Of this benefit can be reached at
this time. AS Mr.. Fess points out go per cent of
our present expenditure is for wars that are past.
We are paying the bills for, waste that has already
been accomplished, ard we must keep on paying
those bills until the waste is repaired. The most
that can be done in this respect is while paying
these bills to prevent SO far as possible a repetition
Of the waste in the future.
Second: the reduction Of armament will not
place more money in the federal treasury. Its i'm
mediate effect ought to be and doubtless will BE to
place less money there. The people are being
heavily taxed unavoidably because of war expenses.
If those expenses can be reduced, and they SHOULD
be, then the natural course and the proper one will
be not to continue the collection Of these excessive
taxes in order that the money may be spent for
some other purpose, but to collect less taxes. That
is the thing that the people will demand, and upon
which they will insist. It is the thing that must be
realized, and our public men will be doing a good
service if they keep calling attention to this fact and
Insisting that the object to be attained is not more
money II. the treasury, but more money in the peck
cts Of the people. Congressman Fess has done d
goodsservice by speaking out plainly on this sub
iect at this time and it is to be hoped that his ex-
ample9will be followed. y

E L ABoUr PROGRESS.

One of the best preventives of despondehcy is
to think about cheerful things, and the practice has
been found to be decidedly useful as a corrective
after despondencyAhas set in. For some time the
constructive work of the country has been operat-
ing at low speed where it has operated at all, and
the habit has grown up quite naturally of elnphasiZ-
ing this feature, just as on avery cold or a very hot
day we become SO interested in the extreme tenn.
pcrature that We are apt to.forget everything else.
Because things have been somewhat slow we
are apt to assume that there is no motion at all, and
no prospect, Of any. A week ago The Herald pre-
sented its readers a summary of recent constructive
work in this city and it's immediate vicinity, and the
total must have been decidedly Illuminating to
those who have taken it for granted that everything
was at a standstill. Other facts of a similar charac-
ter are given this week, and it is the purpose of The
Herald to continue the publication of articles Of a
similar nature for some time. .@
The success of this work depends very largely
on the cooperation of our readers. Work of a pro-
gressive and constructive character is being done in
every community. The facts in a particular COM
munity may not soom very large when considered
alone, but the sum of such facts makes a total that
is worth while.
The Herald will~welcome from anywhere in
its territory brief statements of improvements made
or Immediately in prospect. Not only is informa.
ton desired as to constructive work Of a public
character. such as municipal improvements, road
construction, and items of that class, but stories OF
work done by and for private individuals are equal
ly desired.
1t is believed that when the facts are made
known it will be found that things are not as stag
nant as has often been supposed, and that BY en,-
phasizlng the more cheerful side of the case a mucl,
better mental attitude will be induced, and that viii
go a long way toward correcting the undesirable
features of the situation.
Send in whatever can be found relating to real
progress and thus help in bringing about progress on
a larger scale.

BETTER THINGS FOR NORTH DAKorA

It's Governor Nestos'' in North Dakota now !;
also attorney General Johnson; also "Commis-
.sioner Kitchin."
Frazier, Lemke and Hagan are out! 1t is al
most too good to be true.
The supreme court of that state stood I'D to the
rack in splendid shape, and the hopes of Townley
ct al, were dashed. The people spoke very definite
October %, and the court very properly wanted
something better than what it had before it before
undertaking to prevent .the>state convassing board
from acting.
d If the Leaguers believed the recall petitions de-
%tective, they had plenty of opportunityto say so be-
tore the election was held. Not even Townley and
his coterle can always have their way, even before
the highest tribunal of North Dakota. The recall
election was a smashingb1ow and the Inauguration
of the three officials at Bismarck yesterday is an
other. The failing of Townley at Jackson, Mimi,
was something more than an incident. During the
World war, Townley's intimates were in the habit
Of saying he would accept Jail, prison or even a fir
ing squad in pursuance of his "hght.for the people"
Indeed, they declared that "matyrdom" was what
Arthur c. Townley most wanted.
j. He has failed to achieve that crown. He has
|reaped a series Of singing defeats. His hope is to
capitalize the present unrest and unemployment
apd already the Nonpartisan League is planning
the 1922 campaign in this state and North Dakota
and some other states with those two twins of
trouble as their chief cards. 1t may he doubted if
the Nonpartisan League can ever "cone back" but
1t IS still potential for a certain amount of political
war. 1t could hardly be expected to seek a quiet
corner and curl up and die. Such movements do not
expire so easily. They manage to extend their ex-
plring kicks over many months usually. Townley's
influence will dwind]e steadily, until at last he will
rank even below John Bell of Tennessee, the nom
inee Of the Know-Nothing party.
The election of Nestos, Johnson and Kitchin
spelled the beginning of a perhaps slow, but none
the less sure end, for the Nonpartisan League and
its patentee.-Duluth News Tribune.

THEsTATE BOND SALE.

The facts relating to the bond sale said to have
been effected just before the retirement of the three
members of the Industrial Commission from office
were kept carefully covered up until the last mo-
ment, and then only the bare announcement of the
reported sale was permitted to become public. The
are still obscure, and it may take
some little time to ascertain just what is the nature
of the contract said to have been entered into, and
whether or not it is legal.
If the defeated officials hope to make political
capital of the fact-if it is a fact-that in spite of all
the criticisms of their opponents they were able to
sell a large block of state bonds at par and at less
than 6 per cent interest, they are not likely to real
ize that hope. The trick is too transparent. To
emphasize the bond sale from this standpoint is
merely to invite attention to the fact that. when
there was a prospect that their administration was
to continue, they found it necessary, in violation of
law, to sell the bonds Of the state at a discount. but.
within three weeks after the election at which they
were defeated and there was evidence of an intent
on the part of the state to return to political sanity,
the credit Of the state has SO improved that better
terms could be obtained.
1t 1t proves to be the fact that a contract has
been attempted binding the state to the delivery OF
all the bonds which it is authorized to issue. and de-
terring payment SO long that funds will not be avail
able for many months for the carrying out of the
program to which the new administration is pledged.
then there should be. as undoubtedly there will be,
a carefulsexamination of the documents signed to
ascertain whether or not the state is actually bound
in this manner by what, under those circumstances.
would undoubtedly be held to be an act okbad faith.
There is no object in selling bonds now except
for the raising Of funds which will be needed in the
future. To contract now for the de-
livery Of bonds and the receipt Of money a year
hence is to throw away all the advantage that would
be realized from the return Of normal
business conditions, the easing Of the money mar
ket, and the gradual resumption Of confidence in the
state. ~
