KEEPING Down EXPENDITURES.

Il makes little difference in what di-
rection you leok these days there are to
BE- found pressing needs for economy. We
nave been going through a period of large,
expenditures, and the worst feature of it
all is that those large expenditures have
teen crowded so full of waste. We have
reached the time when there must be
retrenchment, when there must be a close
watching of the outgo as well as the in
come and when there must be demanded
an oversight of the expenditure Of the
appropriations which will indicate that
efficiency is guiding the operations
Already in the reports from Washing
ton il Is evident that the knife is being
driven into the estimates presented for
approval Strange as it may seem more
money has been asked in various DEPART
ments for the year 1922 than was voted
for 1921. Appropriations are being ask
ed as il there was no limit to the re-
sources Of the treasury and yet there is
no bigger howl going up from the nation
than that which comes from taxation.
The answer of course is that wild and
lavish expenditures must be curtailed
and with that purpose in view congress
is already at work.
The same policy must likewise be car
ried out in connection with state govern
ment- There will be unusually large ap-
propriaticns sought. There will be GER
tain instances where appropriations will
have to exceed. those Of the last two
years because Of growth and the Insult
tciency Of the last allotments, but il
should he realized that there are limits
to- which the state can go in the expen-
diture of money and keep down taxes OF
keep down the indebtedness For that
reason it will be necessary to give care
full consideration to the sums asked, de.
termine what are actually necessary ant
what can be delayed and not be afrait
to draw the line between those that are
worthy and those that are not. Their,
was never q time when economy and eff
fciency were more needed than they ar,
right now.

BALLooNING IN WINTER.

Welcome is the news that brings word
to the effect that the men who left this
country in a navy balloon, and for whom
much anxiety has been manifested, have
turned up safe in the wiids Of Canada.
1t was not supposed that they had gotten
so far. Search for them was being IN
dertaken on this side of the boundary,
but they had made a speedy trip aided
by a storm almost from the very start
which caused them to cover much terri
tory but not to encounter ready means
of communication or transportation when
it came to getting in touch with OF get
ting back home
That the Rviators will have thrilling
story to tell is needless to say They
have had experiences which, now tina;
they are safe, they would not want "a
have missed. but it will be interesting to
/ learn just what advantage this trip has
been to the advancement of aviation.
Ballooning has its advantages in con.
nection with, navy or army operations
The bringing of the airplane to its pres.
ent state of perfection, however. de.
creases the uses to which a balloon
might be put except those which are held

them is not surprising but, except as t
show what might be expected of bal

not clear just what has been accomplish
\ ed by this undertaking.
| A time of year was selected which in
creased the hazards for the aviators
That they have proved their ability il
! handling such an airship under the hart
I conditions encountered is of course full,
demonstrated. Likewise they have show
that they were able to deal with the con
ditions encountered when they wer
forced to land in a northern wilderness
but it doesn't appear that ali that vii
be of value in baliooning could not hav
been determined at season of the yea
when far less risk would have bee
taken by those concerned. Let it be sait
however, that the courage and qualifca
tons of these naval aviators under try

many books were received until near
the following session, which convened
in Decenner, 1901, when President
Jefferson. who always took an earnest
interest in the lbrary, recommended
that statement should be prepared
respecting the books and maps pur-
chased under the Appropriation.
During the earlier years. there was
no tituIar librarian appointed, the
books being in charge of the clerk of
the House of Representatives. The

sell his private library to congress, as
he was encountered with debt. A bill
for the purchase, at the price of S23,950

pointed librarian of congress. After
this appointment the library was To-

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
HISTORY
OUR GOVERNMENT LIBRARY.


The history Of the Library of Con-
gress is nearly coeval with that of the
national government. Very few books
were collected, however, until the seat
Of government was permanently estab-
lished upon the Potomas. In 1900 three
small sailing vessels carried the archives
ard Offices of the departments and of
congress from Philadelphia to Washing
ton. In the scanty chronicles of this
removal there is no mention of books.
Soon after the government reached
Washington bill provided for $4,000
for the purchase of such books as
may be necessary for the use of con-
gress at the said city of Washington
and .>rr fitting up a suitable apart
ment for containing them"
Out of this appropriation has grown

day, with its more than a million
books and i-phamplets, Congress as.

The league of nations, 1t seems, is
a wonderfully convenient thing in po-
litical argument in the United States,
no matter what 1t may be desired to
prove. If the Americans enter the
league, it used to be argued, they will
become mixed up in European affairs
and driven to maintain large army
and navy. But because America has
not entered the league, is now the
argument of Mr.. Daniels, secretary
Of the navy, she stands alone, and
must be prepared to defend her in
terests against any combination. we
are led in any case TO the conclusion
that the attempt to build against any
European navy or combination OF. ma
yies is in itself a contradiction of that
spirit Of the Monroe doctrine which
led to rejection of the league; for it
implies enhancement in European at
fairs.
