q "The law under which the present

THE commission IL very frankly Of
the opinion that at least the time has
come for the companies named TO
prove that their rates should not b.

case has been pre.judged in any sense.
No snap decision is intended by the
commission. The companies viii be
given ample opportunity TO present
their cases. So, also will any anthem
tic and accredited representatives Of
the public be given like opportunity.
"All the commission is committed
to now is that the proper time has
arrived for the whole matter involved
TO be threshed out and that there
should be, in the public interest a
very complete public hearing for the
purpose OF establishing the facts upon
which utility rates are based. When
these facts are established, upon pres
ent and not upon past conditions, the
commission will undertake to give q
decision which shall be Just to all
concerned"

Getting All Mixed In.

THE way in which individual Americans are
mixing up in foreign affairs, is most deplor-
able. A half dozen of them have bought third
interest in the properties of Hapsburg archduke.
These properties are scattered all over Europe and
consist of everything from castles and galleries
to Mines great industrial plants and millions of
of land. They going it alone and risking their
own money; but they Americans and being also
human, are not unmindul of the importance of that
fact; neither is the archduke.
That gentleman is seventh in succession to
what was the Austria Hungarian throne, but he is
said to have made his fortune and before the
war was reckoned one of the three or four richest
men in Europe. Under the treaty with Austria and
Hungary all property belonging to any of the Haps-
which is is situated But this may be construed as
meaning only lands, houses and properties held by
virtue of royal favor, heritage.
None of the archdukes holdings are said to be
of this character. Some have been taken over by
governments however, and suits will be brought for
recovery OF this total fortune, estimated at $780,
100000 it is claimed title is clear to one-haf But
he has no surplus to operate plants or mines; he
has no means to finance further development
upkeep; he has no organization for reaching the
markets The American company has all of these
resources. 1t is stocked at but 100000 with a
chance to win one-third of S4oo.ooo,ooo. That is
try in which these properties located that will
not welcome American capital energy and resource
fufness.
Strangely, perhaps, and perhaps, quite natur-
ally, of the company is Frank A. Munsey
of the btterest of the "bttcr-enders" and most
treatess of the battalion of death" He would
seem to be much more punctilious to his gov
eminent than as to himself, and does not hesitate
rush in the trail of the seductive dollar where
he would not have the angel feet of Uncle Sam
tread.

Departmental Efficiency.

MO OTHER department of the government
~ has made more progress in reorganization
than has that of Agriculture. No other has made
changes which promise greater return in service
IT was said to be the most loosely and neffciently
organized of the ten. Secretary Wallace is rapidly
making it the best organized and most efficient
If he keeps up the present pace, no other will
excel it in the value OF its returns the country
in proportion to its cost.
Since Mr.. Wallace has taken office, he has
completed the consolidation of the Bureau Of Mar
kets with the Bureau of Crop Estimates and he
has co-ordinated practical unity with this
combined bureau those of Farm Management and
Farm Economics. These four should always have
been That they organized separately
the fault of Congress. 1t was born OF de-
sire to provide that many bureau heads
as berths for political reward
. Manifestly farm management, economies and
markets correlated in fact that to separate
them is to compel duplication and waste effort.
just inevitably these three belong with crop
estimates, which has very large field organization
and statistcally reaches to every township in all
the States. Their natures signify their close re-
lation while in operation separately there was
constant clash to authority and constant cross
ing of lines.
There are several other bureaus in the depart
ment where consolidation is equally desirable to
rcQuCe COSTS ana promote usefulness. lncSc Will
doubtless have the attention of Mr.. Wallace, so
that numerous field agents and specialists will not
follow on each others heels, each doing piece
of what one could have done whole. Like
most of the departments, it is too much differen-
tiated and too infinitely specialized, while men in
the field and office are not utilized to gain their
full value. No department organized on the basis
of politics. give the most offices to the greatest
number, can fail to be wasteful. All the ten
have been tarred with the same stick, and economy
points to reorganization rather than cheese paring
and to get full value in service for appropriations
rather than crippling service cutting salaries.

'As most fires occur in accessible

most cases are so eNtinguished. But
the extinguishing Of fires by direct

On National Etiquette.

To the Editor, The Warrington Hersh:
have read several articles In
the recent past concerning the man.
ner in which our republic should
receive and treat the various dele
gates who will constitute the MEM
bership of the forthcoming confer
ence on the Limitation OF armament
to be held In this city November IL.
1921.
But yesterday I read in one of the
local daily newspapers as follows:
Fortunately no royalty has yet
been announced. though there may
be a prince sent by the clamoring
lesser Balkan states and from
Japan and China. There are many
here who recall the narrowing days
when Prince Henry came TO christen
the Kaiser's yacht and the feverish
review of etiquette prescribed by
the defunct house OF Hohenzollern."
/ fail to see any reason why our
government should have to expert
ence any narrowing days" or spend
any time in a "feverish review of
etiquette" etc. should any person
OF living or defunct royal houses
officially or unofficially attend the
conference-or why absolute equal
Ity should not be officially accorded
each OF the principal delegates ir-
espective of whether or not in his
own country he be related to royalty
or peasantry.
Americas official etiquette should
be original and more in consonance
with the spirit of its history and
L. .tItntIons thap hasad nm a1v IF a
contrary or conflicting nature as
may be prescribed in Europe or
elsewhere where monarchial and
not republican Institutions prevail.
1t, therefore, seems to me that from
the time OF the arrival of the first
to the departure of the last dele
gate the least ceremony and the
greatest simplicity should mark ana
govern the proceedings of the con-
ference.
All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" and as the con-
ference will find it's labors to be
anything but child's play, no one
will begrudge q needful amount of
diversion and recreation. but the
people will have but little respect
and patience should the conference
deviate from pursuing its primary
object and degenerate into one with
no other result than having fritz
tered away its time in clubbing
over what is or is not proper ell
uuette, ones social rank or, status,
details of needless entertainment,
etc.
