The Prevention Of Unemployment

Approval by the United States chamber of COM
of the Kenyon bill that provides for the advance
planning. of public works remedy for periodic un-
employment will be followed by general endorsement of
that its provisions become known to the
general public -4z :-
In the past the general rule has been that public
works undertaken in times of prosperity, when the
people felt that they had the money to spare for such
things. The result that the public work competed
for labor and materials time when these most
in demand with the result that the cost of public I'M
rovements increased unnecessarily. Then when
hard times came, it was difficult to obtain votes in
favor of public improvements there no sale forima-
tcrals of construction and labor found employment
The purposes of the Kenyon bill should be forward
cd wherever possible not only by the national govern
lnent but also by the state counties and municipalities
The for public improvements is in periods of in
ustrial depression, which may be counted upon with
certainty from time to time But if there are to be
public improvements in dull times arrangements for
them must be made in times Of prosperity.

Her appointment to office she says
came as surprise. But President
Harding told her that she could do
the work and that she would enjoy it.
1t seems the president was right.
Mrs. Brucggeman explained that
the government Is progressive In Its
compensation law in that all of its
civil employees benefit by. it. In the
state laws men and women who are
engaged in Industries are practically
the only ones who may be compen-
satcd by law and there Is n variety
OF opinion In different states as to
what Industries are sufficiently haz-
ardous to cn,ittle workers to compcn-
sation II they are Inquired.
In the government, n man who Is
struck By IA falling .,DIcct is entitled

was struck by faiung cabinet, or u
iaborer hit by falling crate.
The government law recognizes that
there are dangers OF office work. not
SO numerous or frequent as those OF
n machine shop. but still worthy of
consideration.
Typical office disabilities are often
among the most difficult cases for the
commission to decide. II tuberculosis

these. too. the commission finds that

1t is especially hard to fix respon-
sibIlity FOR disease which might have
been contracted at any time during I,
considerable period. In every case,
very possible bit OF evidence is OBJ
tanned and carefully reviewed. The
commissioners have their staff OF
doctors. lawyers. aud claim experts
with whom to consult, and doctors and
lawyers IN different parts OF the coun-
try work with the commission to clear
up cascs OF federal employees working
outside of Washington.
In 1921. to date. the commission has

But far than is commonly supposed the interests
of all the states concerned Complementary This is
true between irrigation and water power, and 1T is
also regards communities and individuals. In
the total descent Of than two vertical miles from
the Colorado SUBMITS to the Mexican seashore the water

of dynamos and factories and the principle ap-
Plies in less degree to irrigation. The old idea that
water once taken thru head gate is permanently sub
tracted from the stream longer tenabe. In any
valley large part of the water used for irrigation at
the upper levels returns to the lower down. and
this fact is strong argument in favor of the high alt
tude water users.

might be done in the way of restoring extinct civ
cation in region of surprising richness of soil and

hyphen IN the gentleman S nanc and something that
he calls abour, there is no part of the letter that
would not be readily understood by the educated classes

Adams, because nation holds " all the

Those Americans who have learned to look upon

Economy in Government

President Harding does well to emphasize the i'm
portance of economy in government. Great savings
have already been accomplished by coordinating the
work of the departments without any reduction in the
service actually rendered to- the people,, and there is
room for further Improvement along these lines.
There should also be careful reconsideration of all
branches of the government with view of determining
what services are necessary the national welfare aud
what may be dispensed with
What is true of the national government is even
more true of the state government. The government
of Colorado than it should and the people of
