Economy Adjourned

If the appropriations for the
army and navy fail in this Con-
gress, as it is conceded they
may, the Republicans will get
one grain of comfort out of it.
For it will prevent an immediate
adding up of all the money
voted by Congress. The total
would stare out of countenance
the promises made at the be-
of the session. Then Chairman
Good spoke of sweeping reduct-
ions. Now it is ruefully admit
ted that if the military outlay
stands at anything like the pres
ent figure the sums appropriated
will be somewhat larger than
for the previous fiscal year.
Thus the Government, which
in thousand ways has called
upon American citizens to econo-
mize, to save and TO work hard,
has put off its own economies to
q more convenient season.
Of a piece with this staving
off the evil day is the decision of
the Senate committee to pass the
bill for a soldiers bonus without
any provision for raising the
money needed. That little task
is to be left for Congress to be
elected a year from next Novem-
Der, Everybody knows that
one Congress cannot bind anoth-
er in a matter of this sort. But
passing that fact, what a bit of
double-dealing and of financial
insincerity the proposed action
would be-! The senate wants to
get the credit without the cash.
To pledge economy in the fu-
ture is virtually to confess ex-
travagance in the present. The
figures of public expenditure
will be no more tractable two
years from now than they are
today. The way to cut down is
to cut down from the first oppor.

N. G. Leads in Birth Rate

North Carolina now leads the
entire United States with the
highest birth rate in the Union
according to statistics for 1920
just compiled by the State Board
of Health. AT the same time
this state has one of the lowest
death rates.
Reports during the past year
show a total of SO, 1866 births in
the state, a rate of 1878 per
thousand. The deaths totaled
for the same period 1925, a
rate of 1873 per thousand. These
figures do not include the still
births, which amounted to 4,l7l
for the year.
During 1920 every six minutes
a new life was born into the
world; every fifteen minutes
another life was snapped off.
That the births are so far in ex.
cess of the deaths az counts for
the large increase in the popula-
ton of the state during the last
decade as shown by the last Gen.
sus figures, for the state has had
little increase by reason of immi-
grafton.
A comparison for the past
three years shows the following:
1918 total births rs, or rate
of 30.S, and total deaths 42,4,l
or rate of l7.6; 1919 total births
SO, 79l or rate of 1913, and total
deaths 80, la or rate of 1874.
The very high death rate for
1918 was caused by the epidemic
of influenza, and this probably |
also accounts for the lessened
rate of both births and deaths
during the following year of
1919. In 1920 the birth rate
went forward considerably while
tn. death rate shows a difference
Of only five per hundred thous.
and.
North Carolina has been ex.
ce ,ded in birth rate heretofore
only by Utah, which in 1918 had
a rate of 9l.9. The rate for the
entire registration area of the
country the same year was 24.4.
Fer the same year the death rate
for the same area was 1872.
