OFFICIAL EXPENSE STANDARD.
(FrOm the Montana Record Herald.)

(From the Montana Record Herald) !
The people Of Montana undoubtedly |
will approve the action of the state
board of examiners, composed of
Governor Dixon, Attorney General
Rankin and Secretary of State Stew
art, in setting up standard of Of
fetal expense for state officehelders
when they are travelling. There will
never be any good government until
the economic policies and principles
of private business becomes a basic
part of government. This step by
the board of examiners is toward that
goal.
The board adopted rules embodying
the proposed standard of expenses
that it will allow, and the limitations
as to the amount of charges for
specific needs, such as rooms and
meals, and as to what is proper
travelling expense and what not, are
liberal enough. Private citizens trav-
cling on their own fund do not ex-
coed these limitations, unless they
are evry well to do and live on
luxurious level. The scale of prices,
of course, is not a war scale, but is
intended for ordinary peace times
when the cost of living is reasonable.
The rules eliminate a number Of
expenditures as not proper charges
for travelling, and while there may be
differences of opinion as to what may
or may not be proper under vary
ing conditions, it is a good thing to
have such expenditures defined. In
the past state officials, listening on
the cars to commercial travellers
tales of how their firms insisted that
they must always have Pullmans,
dollar and half meals, a room with
bath every night, use liberal tips,
and live on a generous basis, because
it was necessary to success in their
work, naturally fell into similar ha-
bits, and put in regular daily ac-
counts for all the things that came to
conventionally constitute what was
considered proper travelling expenses.
whether or not they were in towns
where rooms with bath were unknown
and where laundrying and tailoring
We're weekly and not daily services.
In government there should be a
more and more definite policy of
introducing the economic rules that
control private industry, and the old
Montana tradition that government
is merely playing politics for the
revenue there is in it shold be aband-
oned. The new rule of real service
in government, and full return fol
public money, is what Montana needs
as do all the other states and the
national government as well.

TYPHUs FROM IMMIGRATION
(FrOm the Chicago Tribune.)

NrrOm the OulCdBO lIlOunesl
New York has the typhus because
the United States cannot keep vermin
infested immigrants from the plague
spots of Europe out of our ports.
The immigration officials probably
are doing their best, but congress will
not give them adequate laws for the
protection of this country from the
least desirable peoples of Europe.
Typhus is not the worst thing the
undesirables can bring in. 1t is mere
ly indicative of the stratum Of hui
man life which the United States is
tapping for its future citizenship. The
United States needs an immigration
holiday, but congress thinks it needs
cheap labor.
To please various races which want
open gates to the United States and
to please employers who want to In
crease the purchasing power OF the
dollar in the labor market, congress
refuses to put up the bars and give
the Matchmaking processes of Amerl
ca rest when they are most in neeo
of a rest.
Consequently we shall have adj
tions to the American population
from the bad spots Of Europe, anC
these people, unable to correct con
ditions in the home from which the!
escape, will be unable to do more thar
create such conditions here.

HENRY DREAMS AGAIN
(FrOm the New York Tribune.)

(trOm the New York Tribune
The reader who approached the
Henry Ford interview in The Trib-
une with skepticism did not exactly
remain to pray, but he certainly was
compelled to think. On its face here
was another Ford dream as wild as
the peace ship. Synthetic milk, syn
thetic beef and the abolition of the
cow sounded like the talk. of any
crack-brained inventor rambling
among his dreams.
But there was a difference in the
rest of she interview. 1t concerned not
politics or international affairs, for
one thing, and it concerned not SO
much extraordinary inventions, che
mical or mechanical, as it did social
facts and methods of manufacture
Now, the triumph of the Ford car
involved two creations that were the
work of a first class Imagination: the
idea that there was market-that is
to say, social need and desire
for so cheap car and organization
of large scale production in sucl
fashion as to make such cheapnes
possible.
The new project of Mr. Ford dea
with similar factors, it must b
agreed. Having remade the process

policy or one or both of them will be
in an Asiatic war. 1t will be one, and
that one will be the United States.
1t may be that for ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain the
heather Chinee is peculiar, but All
Sin in an open faced innocent by the
side of the realistic, far thinking
Japanese.
We do not know with what argu-
ments the Japanese militarists con-
trolled the policy, but we do know
that it was a militaristic policy, that
it has a purpose and we can pretty
plainly see the purpose. 1t is for
control of the Pacific, if for no longer
than a period long enough to enable
Japanese imperialism to achieve its
! aims.
These aims are the taking of the
Philippines, Hawaii, all islands of any
value in the Pacific, the gaining of
a free hand unquestioned in Siberia
and China, and possibly the taking of
Alaska and the Aleutian islands, even
if not the occupation of the Pacific
coast of the United States.
That is Japanese purpose, to be fol-
lowed until the time is ripe for its
execution. The time may come soon
or it may be deferred. 1t will be
fastened or retarded by what the
American people do and Japan think;
it knows the American people.
1t seems that the American con
gress, disregarding a warning from
the president, is reducing the regu
lar army below the minimum of safe
ty. 1t seems that the mechanical
science of war is neglected. 1t see.

last week on the stop-recrliiting reso-
luton. Congress had concluded that
standing army of $4,000 was large
enough for us in time of peace, and
had provided for the maintenance of
such force and no larger.
But the pacifist secretary of war,
who could not even bear to play with
toy soldiers when he was child, and
who is one of the ablest public Off
Gals the president has ever known,
purposed to enlist if possible an army
of 100000, quite disregardful of the
fact that there would be no money
with which to pay 5000 of them.
1t was to stop that crazy proceeding
and to limit recruiting at 175,000 that
the resolution was adopted which the
president vetoed-and which the
house without debate instantly re-
passed over his veto by an all but un-
animous vote.
1t is not easy to determine just
what was his chief motive in that ex
traordinary veto. Possibly it was re
continent at the refusal of congress
TO vote for the bloated armament o
standing army of half a million
men, which he, wanted.
Possibly it was wrath at the pre-
, sumption of congress in venturing t
dictate to the secretary of war, who
as we have recalled, is one of tn
ablest public servants the presiden
has ever known, and presumabl
quite above being instructed by tn
mere representatives of the peopl
We should regard one of those rea:

= than those suggested by the pres
dent in his message.

there be? That is the business of the
secretary of war, or of the general
staff, not of congress. The duty of
congress is to determine the size Of
the army and to provide means for
its maintenance. 1t is for the war de-
partment to determine how the total
shall be divided and organized
What the president complains Of
as a defect of the resolution is really
one of its most commendable fea-
lures.
Again, he complains that action in
compliance with the resolution would
for a long time preserve the staff
corps disproportionately enlisted and
the combatant corps insufficfently
manned" And again he complains
of that which he should commend.
Of course the staff corps would be
and should be disporportionate to the
combatant corps. A nucleus army
should always be over-officered. That
! is because it is always much easier
and much shorter job to increase the
fighting force Of rank and file than
to increase the number of officers.
If these two complaints by the
president express the real reason fol
his Intellectual veto, we must wonder
at his ineptitude and his lack of com
prehension of even the elementary
principles of army organization.

ses of communication, he now backs
the country as against the city with
plan designed to give the village
share in the industrial prosperity of
the nation. The problem here is es-
sentially a social one, a matter of
mass psychology precisely similar to
the creation of a market for the Ford
car. The rest of his scheme relates
to the organization of a new kind of
factory, rural one, which shall uti-
lie water power and part-time man
power from the farms.
1t is all a dream; but dreaming is
the first business of the inventor. 1t
attempts the impossible, the checking
of the drift to the city and the re-
naissance CT the village: but doing
the impossible is the task of every
inventor. And Mr.. Ford combines
with his dreaming a kind of shrewd-
ness that is very dear to the hearts
of Americans. In fact, it is not a
fantastic theory which regards Mr.
Ford as uniting the essential Ameri
can characteristics. The whole
American adventure has been a kline

PLAIN LANGUAGE FROM
TRUTHFUL JAMES
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

The japanese diet has rejected a
resolutio fonr negotiations with the
United States and Great Britain for a
naval holiday. The veto was 285 to
SO. A vote that size eliminates the
possibility that a junker faction was
riding Japanese national policies. 1t
reveals a national feeling and con-
scious or SUBDIVISIONS purpose.
In the Unitaed States senate it is
regarded as significant. 1t is that,
and probably significant beyond the
comprehension of the careless Ameri-
can people.
Big navy Americans say that 1t
finally disposes of the naval holiday

proves that either there viii be a
