POLITICAL ECONOMY

Nice-Prcsident Coolidge would
be more convincing in his
culogy of the Economies" effect
cd by the Harding administra-
ton if he had not denied his own
conclusions almost before he put
them forth. After citing that fed
cral appropriations for all pur-
poses before the war were about
81 100000, 900, he triumphantly
announces that for the last fiscal
year they were $500 900, 900
and have since been reduced to
a rate of $l.O00,OOQ,0O0. This
great saving of Sl.500,0O0 900,
MIR. Coolidge infers. is due to the
present administrations mania
for retrenchment. The vice
president says:
IF, from present expenditures,
there be deducted those items
that arose from the war and the
extra amount now being expend-
cd on good roads and the army
and navy, the present cost Of
running the government would
not exceed the pre-war cost by
more than $300,000,000."
Mr.. Coolidge, therefore, would
have the country believe that the
amount by which present APP
preparations fall short of war
time and rehabilitation appro-
priations is due to G.. .. p. econ
omy; while the amount by which
present expenditures exceed pre-
war OUTLAWS is due TO continu-
ing war burdens.
That's fair enough, III way.
But it is not to be overlooked that
this administration can not eat
its cake and have it too. 1T the
war burden is responsible for the
high rate of expenditure today as
compared with pre-war times, its
lifting is also responsible for
what opportunity the administra-
ton has had of making a show
inc financially.

there is no reason why its eff

wartime handicaps have been
eliminated. That the postal Sc

their disappearance is the best in
dication that Mr.. Burleson was
more maligned than remiss in his

10000 school children through the

were planted in honor of famous men.
The following year at st. Paul, B. G.
Northrup Of Connecticut, introduced
a resolution calling ON cvory state TO
set aside tree planting day. In

May for tree planting. In 1896 Spain
adopted the idea and Hawaii took it
up in 1905. In Jamaica they plant
trees on Queen Victor.as birthday.

INDICATING BURLESON

1t is doubtful If there was a
more thankless job during the
war than that of postmaster gem
eral of the United States. Added
TO the demoralizing effect upon
the personnel of the postal serY-
ice of higher wages in almost
every industry. were endless par
tisan attacks from Republican
sources and vituperation from
every disloyal publication and
agency that suffered from war.
time postal regulations.
1t is interesting, therefore, to
note that IA months after the
ending of the Burleson admins
tration of the mails Postmaster
General Work announces a pos
tai Improvement week" to begin
Nav /. The announced purpose,
which indicates that Mr.. Hays
campaign of words did not ex-
actly work miracles in improving
the service, is:
ITO stimulate all employees OF
the department throughout the
country to greater interest and
greater enterprise in order to per-
feet the postal service OF the
country by enhsting the assist
ance of the public to the end that
there may be a better co-opera-
ton between the patrons OF the
offices and the personnel OF the
system. for. in the last analysis,
the real postal system OF the
country includes those who pre-
pare mail for transmission as well
as those who are employed in the
postal system proper"
Which proves that when it
comes to long-windedness Mr.
Work will not have to take Sec
ond place to Mr.. Hays or anyone
else. If $40 week newspaper
reporter wrote a sentence like
that he would be sent scooting
on his way.
If any patron has found the
postal service as conducted IN
