Impractical Remedies

Hundreds Of cures for this situa-
ton have been advanced by theorists.
but all of them are rejected by Gov
ernment experts. Officials OF tho
Federal Reserve Board know that tho
age of miracles is past. and caution
against expecting sudden swapping
back to normal conditions throughout
tho world today. tomorrow. next
month or next year. The restoration
will he gradual and slow. Some Eu-
ropcan nations will never again reach
the point where their standard OF
money will have the value 1t did be-
| fore the World War.
| The situation can best be benefited
only when the countries of Europe
stop quarreiinE and fighting among
themselves and settle down to hard
work and saving. There have been
cases where the nations there instead
| Of trying to help each other and help
, themselves have apparently been bent
on cutting each others economic
throats. The parccllinE out of Eu-
rope into many new nations has given
rise TO much of this sort OF thing.
For instance. integral parts of the old
Austro- Hungarian Empire have been
/ prime offenders. For long time
Hungary would allow nonc OF Its
wheat to go TO Austria in retaliation
for Austria refusing TO let us manu-
featured goods needed by Hungary
reach that country. The Hungarians
could not get tho clothing and ma
chincry then needed. Tho Austrians
I could not get the food they needed.
Tho situation benefited no ono, and
hurt both countries. and all other
countries with which they have TO
have dealings.
II has often been proposed that tho
United States government take big
I sponge and wipe clean the slate on
which are chslked down the debts OF
I foreign nations to the United States.
These debts are owed to us by our
late allies. and the loans were ncces-
sary for tho prosecution of the war
to n successful conclusion.
] Governmental experts are inclined
10 losk upon this suggestion with tho
idea that u would do little or no
good. II woud mean cutting down
the financial obligations OF certain
foreign nations. but these experts say
that unless the common. every day
citizen OF those lands benefited. II
would do no good. For Instance. II
forgiving the French debt 20 the
United states were accomplished.
there would follow n lesseninE of the
tax burden on tho French people.
Unless the United States government
could dictate how this should he done.
there would he no surety that the
/ ameliora'ed taxes would help tho or
binary French citizen. or that the
value of the French franc would be
appreciated Mt all. which is tho only
way America could benefit from this
! transaction.

To Punish War Profiteers.

TIME administration last week indicated the first
definite steps to bring retribution upon con-
scienceless pro6teers on war supplies sold the
government when Attorney General Daugherv an
nounced the forthcoming creation OF a special bureau
in the Department Of Justice to handle such investiga-
tons and prosecutions.
The government, said Mr. Daugherty, is deter
mined to 20 after "the big fellows" and in so far as
possible to force the the Treasury Golfers
of vast sums paid out for munitions, either as the
result of gouging or actually fraudulent contracts
President Harding is said have given full approval
to plans for the institution Of the special bureau men
toned by the Attorney General.
The war pro6teer, he declared, is in the same
category with extremists who sought to defeat the
operations of the seectve act.
"How are we going to justify the action OF the
government" he asked, "in sending men to jail TOR
irving to render the draft law Ineffective when we
are letting certain kinds of free, after they
have mulcted the government and the people of un-
imasinabIe sums?" There is to be mo et-up, he
added in going after the ringleaders OF war frauds
On advice of Mr. Daugherty, the President last
week annulled War Department contracts with the
United States Harness Company for disposal OF sur
plus harness In a memorandum to Secretary Weeks.
he said
these contracts were entered into by the former
director Of sales with the approval Of Secretary Ba-
kerr and provided that the large accumulation or
stock Of surplus military harness and accessories were
to be turned over to the United States Harness Com
pany to be reconditioned and sold. or sold in its
original condition upon a proht-sharing basis
"The facts developed by the Attorney General led
him to the conclusion that these contracts had been
entered into result OF conspiracy on the part OF
certain former temporary officers of the army to
cure these contracts and the control Of large stocks
of harness on hand for their own benefit"

Offers Change in Mining Laws.

NURING the past three years the miners OF the
j west have been relieved from the necessity OF
performing the 500 worth Of labor required on
each mining claim annually by existing law. Last
year when the relief bill passed IL was stated by
a number of persons that further request for ex-
emption would be made. However. several measures
have been introduced proposing to continue the ex-
emption for another year. In lieu thereof, Secretary
OF the Interior Fall has suggested to congress that
mine owners be given the alternative of performing
the work or labor upon the claim or paying to the
United States the OF so cents per acre Tor each
acre in the claim such cash payment TO be accepted as
the equivalent Of the labor for the in which pay
ment is made so per cent OF the moneys so received
to be paid the in which the claims arc located
for the construction and maintenance OF public roads,
and the remaining so per cent to the credit OF the led
ersl reclamation fund.
The provision for road consIuction and main
tenance is OF vital importance to the western states
where population is sparse and taxable property to
bear the burden OF road building and maintenance
found in less proportion than in the eastern states.
Many of the states have large areas OF forest
reserves and other government reservations within
their borders in addition to large areas OF undsposed
of public lands The devotion OF OF the proceeds
from receipts from public lands to the building and
maintenance Of roads will aid in the development OF
the mineral and other resources on the puohc lands

States American Policy.

In an address before Brown University alumni at
Providence R. L. Wednesday Secretary of State Hughes
discussed the of the United States for entering the
war and the future policy of dealing with other nations
Mr. Hughes said that because I'VE loved the inst'tu-
tons OF liberty and intended to maintain them" and
hated brutality and tyranny and ruthessness, we
entered the war on the side OF the allies.
Speaking of foreign policy, he said that 1t was
not desirable that the United States should rtter away its
helpful influence by relating ourselves unnecessarily to
political questions which involve rvares of interest abroad
with which have proper concern 1t is equally true
he added that we escape relation to the

when the statement is added tha. ii
represents the sum the Seab1qrd Air

railroads operating in FLORIDA have
been forced to pay CUT during the past
FIVE years because freight and passen-

wealth, the razorback hogs.
The figures sound even more inter
esting when the addition truthful
statement is made that the public has

dollars, for railroads, chief developers

profit. and the losses must be made up
in traffic charges.

animals and then comes the even
more appalling toll of human life.
