The Governments Lean Purse

The necessity for economy, not only in our
municipal and county governments, but also in
our federal administration, is proved by the
internal revenue report made public at Washing
ton few days ago. The federal government 5
purse has almost a billion dollars less to spend
than it had year ago.
While the income of the government has de-
creased, its expenditures have not shown SO
great reduction. The revenue department.
report also shows that the cost of collection has
increased from So to SO cents for each 500. All
in all, the government is confronted with the
serious problem of making shrinking income
pay for an increased cost of operation.

With taxation drag on our business activity
and load on our workers, public officials should
take the lead in remedying a distressing condi-
ton They will never be able to lower taxes
unless they reduce public expenditures.
That's the only way in which the taxation
problem will be solved satisfactorily. The
American people realize that it takes billions of
dollars to conduct the government. They are
willing to pay the price for government which
operates efficiently. But they are unwilling to
put up billion after another for operating ex-
penses that could be curtailed easily.

The demand for the strictest economy in or

The demand for the strictest economy in gov
ernmental affairs has been heard throughout the
country for many months. Taxpayers said it
was inconsistent for the treasury department to
advise citizens to save and be thrifty while the
government itself went ahead with reckless ex-
penditures.
The waste of public funds in Washington
through inefficiency is almost automatic. Meth

And that is their attitude toward state
county and municipal government also.
They will provide through taxation what is
needed for these purposes, but they will not toll
crate expenditures that can be deferred or meth
DDS that squander instead of conserve.
Today public officials will do well to heed the
demand of the people for decreased expenditures
and refrain from increasing the tax burden
through appropriations that should await a more
prosperous day.

METHODISTS FACE
CONTEST IN ELECTION
Of Eight Delegates To General
Conference At Hot Springs
Busy At Somerset

Somerset, Ky, Sept. 9-Anoth-
er official session of the annual
meeting of the Kentucky Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, was held today at
the First Methodist church. with
Bishop Collins Denny, Of Rich
mond, Va, presiding.
The Rev. J. E. Savage, Of Car
|rollton, was chosen as secretary
for the five day session of the
conference and the Rev J. l..
Clark was elected statistician.
Probably one Of the most in
teresting an exciting sessions will
be held Friday morning when the
members of the conference by Sc
cret ballots. will elect eight dele
gates to the general conference,
which convenes in Hot Springs.
Arkansas, in May, 1922. There
will be four ministers and four
lay delegates from Kentucky to
the general conference and they
will be elected Friday morning.
There are d large number ol
receptive candidates for these po-
Sitions and the election will prob
ably be d lively one. The para
doNical part OF it is thae, from the
best information obtainable about
the only sure delegate seems to
be one who is not in any sense Il
candidate for the place and he is
the Rev. w. l.. Clark. pastor OF
the First Methodist church. That
he will go to the general confer
ence as delegate seems to be a
straight tip. AS the general con-
ference, which meets every four
years, makes the laws governing
the churches throughout the
United States and also elects the
bishops. the Gelegateships are al
ways very much coveted.
The appointments of the 1OC
pastors IN the respective church,
cs which they will serve for the
ensuing year will be made by the
bishop at the closing session of
the conference here on next Sun
day night or Monday morning.
\ class of new ministers will
receive the induction services Of
ordination by the bishop on Sat
urday morning. Just how many
this class will embrace has not
yet been made known.
