URGING ECONOMY

Urging economy is thankless task,
imperative, nevertheless. One may urge
benevolence and acquire popularity in
the doing of it, and even trying to make
the other fellow good must have sources
of satisfaction else there wouldn't be so
many of US engaged in it. But trying to
make congress economical when that
may be done only through improved
methods or by each refusing to take
what his constituents ask him to get of
the public bacon is by no means a popu-
lar endeavor.
The new secretary of the treasury,
Mr.. Mellon. finds that to be one of his
first duties. He takes it up promptly
and vigorously. 1t is to be hoped that
he may arouse public interest which
will approve the representative who
gives consideration to the needs of the
country rather than to pork for his con
stituents. This, however, is too much
to expect with any considerable degree
of confidence, but some help may be OBJ
tanned from that quarter. And there is
opportunity for tax system to be de-
vised under which the revenues there
from are not SO largely consumed in
making the collections. Besides there is
the budget system which should have
been in good working order-and isn't.
More power to you, Secretary Mellon

A Gain in Church MEMBERSHIP

NEW YORK, March 6. Churches of the
United States made net gain of CO.., 600
new members during 1920, according to a
census compiled by the Christian Herald,
made public today. DR.. H. X. Carroll of
Plainfield, N. j., who gathered the sta
tistics, said this was marked increase
over 1919, when the aggregate number of
members gained was less than A. 900.
DR.. Carroll said in 1919 decreases were
shown in most of the churches. He COM
pared figures of some of the larger groups
showing that IN 1919 the Methodist gro, D
lost 76, 95l; Presbyterian group lost AZ, 459
and the Baptist group lost II, 1903. In 1920
these groups gained respectively 237, 1877;
43,O31 and l29, 283. Three large Baptist
bodies, he said, have not yet completed
their statistics. and it is believed that the
actual figures will show gain of 120, 900
in the year
Baptisms in the Southern Baptist church
have reached the unprecedented figure of
los. 900, with churches yet to be heard
from
The Roman Catholic church showed a
somewhat smaller increase in 1920 of
127, $50. Doubtless when immigration
sets in again, it was pointed out, the in
crease will be greater.
"Notwithst ndng the very encoura-
gng returns in the number of commune
cants," said DR.. Carroll, ''losses continue
in the number of ministers and of churches
in the various denominations. There s
net loss in the Methodist group and this
decrease has been going on for some time,
apparently without serious denomination
| al notice. The Methodist Episcopal church
lost 200 churches in 1910 and 1873 in 1912
The loss of churches for all denominations
is $50 for 1920.
''There is an increase in the aggregate
number of ministers, but many of the
denominations report losses, which are
numerous among the Lutheran. Presby-
terrain and Baptist bodies, and heavy in
the United Bretheren church The in
crease in 1920 is anomalous and hard to
understand"

country till it became a demand that a
tariff bill should be enacted which would
shut out, in part at least, the flood of
foreign agricultural products. Congress
yielded to that demand and passed tar
if bill putting moderate tariff on wheat,
wheat flour, corn, beans, peanuts, pota-
toes, onions, rice and rice products, lem
ons, vegetable oils, cattle, sheep, fresh
mutton and lamb, cotton, cotton pro-
ducts, wool and products composed who'll
ly or in part of wool. This tariff was to
have force and effect for ten months and
no more. 1t was temporary expedient
to relieve the farmers, to some extent, of
their financial difficulties President
Wilson vetoed the bill. We have stated
the facts concerning this bill and its
fate as plainly as we could in order that
this much discussed enactment should be
understood by all our readers. Whether
Mr.. Wilson did right or whether he erred
when he vetoed it is an open question,
but we have not yet become convinced
that, if this bill had become law, it
would have been of any great benefit to
the farmers. The tariff which it placed
on importations was not large enough to
materially decrease the influx of foreign
agricultural products.
