How many of these governmental functions are actually productive? Political dictation seems to be essentially wasteful, destructive and parasitical. It exists upon industry and production. In 1918, but one billion of all public revenue went for education. The larger portion of the rest went for war purposes.
 If 1t keeps up on the scale of the last 50 years the energies and resources of one-half of the American people fifty years hence will be absorbed ill earning money to keep the rest in office.

STOCKHOLM. Sweden. January

ties are in a quandary over the
case presented by Emma Goldman
and Alexander Berkman. the advo-
Gates Of anarchy, who now find It
impossible to secure permission to
70 to any Of the surrounding coun-
tries. Thus far Germany. Norway
and Denmark have refused to
grant them passports to cross
their borders. The soviet repre-
sentative here, when asked II Rus
sia would allow the acted pair TO
return, denounced them In un.
eauivocal terms, declaring that
both had caused enough trouoie
within Russia and that the boil
sheviki were unwilling to give
them another opportunity.
Conservative elements here are
determined that the couple must
leave Sweden when the time al
lowed them for their stay in the
country ends, on January 20. II
the government extends their per-
mission it will lead to bitter at
tacks in the riksdag. Emma Gold
man has already broken her prom.
ise to abstain from any political
activity in Sweden by publishing
an article condemning the bolshe-
Wiki as well as the capitalists.
II the police cannot deport the
pair the authorities may face the
necessity Of keeping them here as
prisoners.

Reasonable Compensation"
For the Rental of Armories

The matter of rentals for buildings
or halls hired for use al armOrics for
the National Guard units has always
been a puZzling one, according to the
local conditions. Adjutant General j.
A. Hadley recently asked an opinion
as to the meaning Of the words Of the
law reasonable compensation" and
Deputy Attorney General William II.
Fisher has made the following reply:
You have asked this department
for an Interpretation OF the words
reasonable compensation as applied
to rental for armories provided by
municipal officers under the provis-
ions of Section SO of Chapter 253 of
the Public Laws of 1917, known as
The Military Law, and in reply there
to We submit the following:
The words reasonable compen-
sation' as applied to business affairs
and as generally understood when
used in connection Herewith, may
well, we think, be held to mean such
an amount as is a fair return for the
use of the property enjoyed or for the
service rendered, but we think the
Legislature must have used the words
in this act in n different sense and
intended that they should have a diff
ferent construction. Otherwise, the
provisions of the law, taking into ac-
count the small amount of money
appropriated for armories and the
great demand upon such appropria-
ton, would make the law not only
unsatisfactory but absolutely un-
workable.
'In deciding what is a reasonable
| compensation for the rent Of an arm
| DRY provided under the act. the Arm
! DRY Commission should take into &C
count the value of the quarters pro-
! vided; the extent to which they are
, used the local benefits to be received
| by the town from the maintenance
! Of military unit within its borders
the entire fund at its disposal and the
number of towing about thirty, among
which It must be divided.
THE commission is limited by the
amount of the fund provided by the
Legislature and what is a reasonable
compensation within the meaning of
the law must be determined not by
the value of the armory property but
by fair consideration of all the ele-
ments suggested"
