GOOD WORK., HARDING

st. Paul Disqualification Hard
ing refuses to be intimidated by the
officeholders in Washington. A gigan-
tic scheme to bring pressure to bear
on the executive, through members of
congress, has been put into operation
to tighten the labors of a class that
VIGOROUSLY never works hard or for
long hours. At the most the govern.
ment department clerks spend IS
hours a week at their places of en-
ployment, but during the three sum
mer months have half a day less or
about Al hours a week. They want
the weekly half holiday in effect all
the year round, according to a special
dispatch from Edgar Markham. This
plan will give them more pleasure
for the same pay and also help them
hold their jobs in spite of the decline
in the amount Of government business
after the abatement OF the war.
There were $4,000 federal employees
in Washington before the war, which
number was increased to 1870 900, but
since has been reduced to about 1907
90. There are at least twice as many
as there ought to be. in Justice to the
taxpayers. President Harding desires
to ave money by reorganizing the de-
partments or, in other words. to abol-
ish the sinecures, the jobs in which
there is little or no work. 1t ought
to be done as a matter Of course.
There should be no debate and no
hesitation about it. The people, suf.
fering under a weight Of taxation not
known even In the darkest days of
the Civil war, demand retrenchment.
1t is time to drive the drones out of
their places Of ease and idleness.
President Harding has replied to
the propaganda Of the oficeholders
by informing them that every one pro-
noting 1t will be discharged. He is
right. He can and must destroy this
bureaucracy, this oficeholding soviet
that would rule the country. Doubt
less he will have to execute his threat,
for the propagandists will not believe
he means what he says until he does it.
For that reason the country will be
glad to hear of the dismissal of those
who persist in offending. The higher
the salaries they draw. the better 1t
will be pleased.

IN SOUTH DAKOTA LIFE

Aberdeen News-ln a news item in
this paper the other day there was
a remarkable condensation of South
Dakota history in a single paragraph.
The sentence told of a completed
cycle by a farmer in an adjacent
county which is the completed round
which repeated over and over has
made many men rich and built a
great state.
This farmer had come to the state
thirty years ago, had paid 5000 for a
farm, made it his home, raised his
family, and is now retiring with a com
Portable fortune of $40, 900 On which to
live and renting the farm to his son.
How many times this same story
has been lived through out here IN
this state. What generations there
are Of father and son farming the
same place and making it better and
better every year. They are a splendid
tribe of state builders these men who
follow the footsteps Of their sires,
for they have a good pattern to fol-
low. Like father, like son, except in
these days son has the added advan-
tage Of South Dakota c%onveniences of
life that father only dreamed of.
Each of these changing years bring
into the affairs Of South Dakota life
new faces and new hands where elder
men have shifted the burden to
younger shoulders. Invariably the
story reads that they retire in wealth.

BELIEVING THE WORST

These are golden days for the pessi-
mist and the calamity howler. IL Is
so easy to believe the worst. The
least little indication of too much ram
or too little rain, the slightest pros
pect of wheat rust or cut worms, ana
the story is out that all the crops are
ruined and everybody might as well
drown themselves to get out OF their
misery as the world is going to pot
ANYHOW. These scare stories are traV'
cling around now with lightning speed
n they gather wind On their travels.
Some one sees a field of oats on In
another county that looks pretty dry
and he starts talking about the
drought he saw in that section ana
pretty soon the whole state Is pray
ing for rain whether they need 1t or
not. Last week near Aberdeen they
prayed for rain SO hard, they a a
cioudburst with hail along with It.
Some parts oil the state had SO much
rain they couldn't get into the corn
fields to cultivate and In other parts
where the weather was ideal for corn
EVERYONE howled because 1t was toe
dry for the wheat.
Corn Is the principal crop OF the
state and we have been having wonder
full O weather. Wheat Is the prin'
cipal crop of North Dakota and they
have been having wonderful wheat
weather. What more could one ask
for? The costs Of production this year
are far, far below that of last year
and farmers will be able to make
money ever at present prices with
large yields. Large yields, in fact
bumper yields are expected in all crops
In the United States and the reports
from the harvesting now in progress
In the south bear out the earlier esti-
mates of the department of agricul-
ture.
The cattle industry is beginning TO
pick up and will soon be on its feet
again following the arrangements made
for the loan of fifty millions OF dollars.
The severe drouth in Arizona and the
grazing country of the south has filled
the ranges of the states OF the north
west and will make South Dakota a
far more important state in this in
dustry than it has been for several
years. This will be reflected in bust
ness this fall and will do much for
the development of the west river coun-
try which has been rather hard hit
the last few years.

bankers are as much interested in the
scheme as those of New York, al
though the major portion of the imam.
cial banking is expected to be pro
vided from the east. One institution
in New York already has agreed to
participate to- the extent of one-half the
amount of the pool, or $4,000, 900.
The plan is much the same rs that
recommended by the administration
for the extension OF foreign credits to
improve American export trade. Presi
dent Harding in a conference with
eastern bankers at the White House
suggested that something be done to
help European countries and concerns
purchase American goods. He real
lied the pressing need Of moving
Americas surplus to foreign markets.
The government officials who have
brought the bankers of the east and
middle west to the point of consider.
ing a pool for the live stock men,
have appreciated the necessity of en-
couraging production of meat produc-
ing animals. The two questions are
so closely related that the same plan
is about to be evolved as their answer.
1t has been emphasized for some time
by the packing interests that the big
problem Of the future was not regu.
lation and control of their business,
but the necessity of increasing live
stock production.

ain more agreeable to a proposal of
limiting ornaments. England Is prob
ably more anxious to make an agree

advantage to include the United

LIMITING AMMAN IN
