WILL MAKE EFFICIENCY
SURVEY STATE ACTIVITIES

Frequently the taxpayer wond-
ers where his money goes, and IN
times like these his wonderment is
likely to be especially prominent.
When Governor McMaster became
governor last January he promis-
ed the people of the state that a
careful survey and examination
should be made Of all state depart
ments and institutions to deter
mine where waste takes place at
the present time, where savings
can be made, where reorganization
and simplification can be accom-
plished, and in general to give the
state government a thorough over
hauling.
To some of us this has looked
like possibly the big accomplish
ment of the McMaster administra-
tion, and we hail with satisfaction
the following announcement just
sent out from Pierre:
Governor McMaster announced
today that he had closed contract
with the Bureau Of Municipal Re-
search, of New York City, for the
purpose of making an efficiency

POTS AND KETTLES

There is no change on earth,
alack! Old customs with us linger;
the pot still calls the kettle black
and points scornful finger. This
metaphor of course is wrong, for
pots can do no pointing; but let
the purists come along, avaunting
and amounting. But righteous
indignation at all the profiteering
crew, of high and humle station.
The grocer buys Sunday suit and
when he made the payment, ne
says the government should shoot
the maker of the raiment. The
tailor to the grocer wends, to buy
few molasses, and then his treas
ured beard he rends; The price

stands beside his block, and butch

capsules from the doc to cure his
chills and fever. And now he says:

SCHOOL CHILDREN
ASKED TO HELP
q HURRY XMAS MAIL

Our local postmaster George v.
Welch reminds us that Christmas
mail should be sent as early as
possible. so that Santa Claus may
have time to help the postal em-
-ployes. Will Hays, postmaster gem
eral, has addressed a public letter
to the school children Of the I'm
tied States. This is to impress up-
on them the Importance of mail
ing all Christmas gifts early in tho
season.
1t is expected that copies Of the
letter will be sent to Haakon coun-
ty schools, so that the children will
get chance to hear the message
from the postmaster general.

This story is going the rounds.
Though we doubt it's verify, we
pass it along. Recently the various
wards in Philip were canvassed for

on former occasions, little badge

member. But the badges were a

LOTTERIES ARE ON THE GRILL

an active hand just at present in
the enforcement Of the state law
against lotteries, and as usual some
of the citizens Of the state are be-
ginning to sit up and take notice.
The trouble seems to have start
ed over at Sioux Falls, which it
seems in some of its ways is one
of the unGodly towns of the state.
There some of the sporting frat
ernity were putting on rattle or
lottery, and the attorney general
stopped it. Those in charge called
attention to the fact. that the
Shriners and Knights of Columbus
were themselves each at the time
putting on high class rattle with
an automobile as the prize. The
attorney general reminded these
good people that they were violat-
ing the law, and they at once rails
ed the point that the law did not
apply to churches or lodges, and
went on with their plans.
AS a result the automobiles have
been replevined from the winners,
as property won in lottery and
therefore belonging to the state, I
Lawyers seem to be of the general
opinion that the lucky ones were
not so lucky after all, and that the
state vii be able to establish title
to thes property.
Then some of the women folks
of Pierre, the home town of the
attorney general, started a lottery
with an automobile as a prize in
behalf of the Pierre cemetery
That was leading the mule right
up to Mr.. Payne's front door, but
ne did not falter. He called halt
on the women folks back of the
move, swhereupon our friend John
Nipple moved into the spot light
and assumed all the burden of the
thing, and challenged the attorney
general to stop him from giving
away an automobile FOR the bene-
fit of the Pierre cemetery. At last
accqnats Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Hip
pie were glaring at each other ac-
ross the street, and both promis-
ing immediate developments to an
expectant world.
We are eighty miles away from
Pierre but we take an interest in
this matter just the same. Some of
our own people ride around in au-
tomobiles won at lotteries, and it
would be startling to our quiet
community to have the state come
forward and claim the machines
in replevin actions. For number
of years the writer of these lines
has carried watch won at a
church rattle, and we have taken
it out in the back yard and buried
it. We mean to take no chances
with this attorney general of ours.
You will please not ask us the time
of day, until these dark clouds
blow over.
Then again we are pleased to see
Pierre people take such a lively
interest in their graveyard. 1t is
one of the city's most typical in
stitutions, and should be an object
of tender care. If the committee
raises large sum of money, it
might not be bothered by distinc-
tions and trivial differences, and
conclude to devote part of the
sum raised to the improvement of
the main street Of the town.

ENCE-SCHEDuL TOO Low,
JAPANESE D G GATES AT
WASHINGTON CLAIM.

Washington. Nov. 16.-Japan feels
that her ratio of warship tonnage IL
Aot high enough under the American
proposals, II was said last night ny
members Of the Japanese delegation.
During Admiral Baron Kato's speech
at the plenary session Of the arma
ment conference yesterday his state
ment that Japan would suggest somc
notifications in the tonnage basis for
replacement caused some speculation
as to whether It referred TO regulating
the capacity of shipyards so that new
warships could be built regularly or
whether 1t meant Japan favored q
higher ratio of tonnage compared with
the United States and Great Britain.
Japan Is allowed tonnage equal TO
60 per cent Of that of America or
Great Britain.
How much increase is desired was
not explained, but emphasis was laid
upon the special conditions surround
ing Japan Is an insular power In need
/, of an adequate defensive feet.
Japan's representatives reiterated
last night that she has no ambition
whatsoever to equal the navy of Eng
land or the United States. The prob.
able developments of science in in
creasing the mobilization power of q
feet to distant waters In an offensive,
the presence OF naval bases near the
shores OF Japan and the augmented
mobilization power of an adversary's
fleet when reduced In units, all enter
into the japanese minds as indicating
the wisdom OF q higher ratio than six
to ten.
French and Italian navy experts
come to the conclusion that their
naval forces should be increased
rather than reduced.
The Italian viewpoint, as 1t prevails
among their experts. is that Italy
should be permitted to have navy
as large as that of France and in any
event on ratio OF eight to ten
Experts Of both countries point out
that during the war Italy and France
devoted themselves almost entirely to
strengthening their armies and did
little for their navies.
Among the Italians there is strong
party urging a complete agreement
with France to relieve both countries
OF large part of their military bur
dens. It Is pointed out that the two
fleets united would dominate the Medi-
terranean, while the combined armies
might be relied upon to face any at.
tack upon them.
There is also some expressions OF
opinion that measures might be con
sidered to limit ornaments of the
Balkan states and Poland,
