ANOTHER COMPARISON.

The cost of the armaments con-
ference to the United States may
reach as much as 100000. Com
pare that with the expense account
of $5,000.000, more or less. that
was turned in by our delegation al
Paris.
From Present Taxation.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Wadsworth urges that all of
the cost of the soldiers bonus
shall be paid by funds raised from
present taxation, rather than add
to the national debt by a bond is
sue. Mr.. Wadsworth calls atten-
tion to the fact that the govern
ment already faces a deficit Of
$167, 100000 for the coming fiscal
year, which makes it quite impoS-
sible to pay the bonus from current
receipts, as we'll as extremely un-
wise to increase the deficit through
the issuance of additional tempor-
airy certificates of Indebtedness,
amounting to 81, 1,560,000,000 if all
veterans took the cash payments.
Already" said he, I'VE are spend
ing S450,000,00O a year to meet a
debt of honor to disabled soldiers
and this will continue for many
years and probably grow. But no
make life possible and happy to
those men, or would consider try
ing to save on this item"
A Drop in the Bucket.
Industrious publicity by agents
of Henry Ford has given the i'm
preston that the bottom would
drop out of fertilizer prices If Mr..
Ford secured possession of the
Muscle Shoals nitrate and power
plants. The fact is, as revealed by
Secretary of War Weeks at the
House hearings on the Ford offer.
that the amount of nitrate used an
nually in fertilizer in this country
is between 100000 and 100000
tons. while the amount that can be
produced at Muscle Shoals is only
100000 tons when running at full
capacity. Evidently such an ad-
ditional output would have but
slight effect on prices.
What Happened?
When Former President Wilson
took possession of the railroads on
December 27, 1917, he issued the
following reassuring statement:
investors in railway securities
may rest assured that their rights
and interests will be as scrupulcus-
ly looked after by the Government
as they could be by the directors
of the several railway systems"
What happened after that pleasant
utterance is now a matter of pain
full memory. 1t has become the
duty of the Republican Admins
tration to restore the roads to
some semblance of their condition
when they were taken under the
Wilson wing.
Senatorial IHterlOcutors.
The country is now to reap the
substantial benefit of President
Harding's course in naming two
Senator'S, the leaders of their re-
spective parties in the Upper
House, as members of his arma-
ments delegation. During the con-
sideration of the various treaties
in the Senate they will be able to
enlighten their colleagues on every
phase of the undertakings. The
resentment of the Senate that was
apparent when the product of the
Paris peace conference was laid
before that body is entirely lacking
in the present proceedings. The
Constitutional provision that the
advice and consent of the Senate
must be sought and obtained in
the making of treaties has been
followed by President Harding in
letter and spirit, and their ratifica-
tion will be greatly facilitated

IN ANSWER TO MIR. BRYAN

1T Is common knowledge that
the defiation program of the Will
son Administrator hit the farmers
first and hardest" "It is common
knowledge that the only maximum
price fixing undertaken by the Will
son administration was that which
fixed maximum prices for agricul-
tural products. When congress
had undertaken to fix a minimum
rrice for wheat the administrative
department of the government
adopted practices which made that
price the maximum price.

A SATURDAY. EVENING" LETrER.

Nobody pays any further attention to the
Saturday Evening Letters" by Bill Lemke's
venerable partner, except in dull moments when
no other diversion offers. The last to heave a
brick at the aged jurists ex-parte opinions is
Judge Ellsworth of jamestown, a member of
the State Bar Board. Mr.. Ellsworth evidently
does not have great deal of respect for Justice
Robinson, judging by the following quotations
from letter which he gave to the Bismarck
Tribune a few days ago:
"Just why justice Of the supreme court
paid by the state salary of SIS, 10000 per year.
and charged with important duties which
should take his time exclusively during the bus
mess hours of the day, should spend this time
belonging to the state, in excursions to the Nc
Kenzie Hotel to examine accounts paid by per-
sons who are attending directly to their own
business. for room and meals; or to examine the
stubs of check books either lost or stolen is
mystery. To thus use the states time for
malicious spying into private affairs is not Gre
ditable to any state official. If book of check
stubs obviously belonging to Mr.. Laird was
found by any honest Or honorable person., he
would return it to the owner without publishing
its contents in newspaper. However that may
be, the contents of this check book throws no
light whatever upon the affairs of member of
the state bar board
The check stubs referred to above were lost
by Geo. D. Laird, president of the board of
directors of the World Publishing Co. at the
time of the recall contest. Mr.. Robinson init
mated in his letter that Mr.. Laird had paid Mr.
Ellsworths expenses at the hotel, and that he
Uaird) chad a nice little balance left for him
self after all the expenses were paid.' Mr..
Laird's accounts will prove that neither of those
charges were true. He did not pay Mr.. Ellis
worths expenses at the hotel, and the balance
remaining ($103.00) was prorated back to the
contributors. Mr.. Robinsons latest attempt to
play Hawkshaw has led him into error-and
possibly into trouble.

KEEP OUR JUDGMENT UNBIASED
By John Andrews in Courier-News.

Commissions for investigation purposes -
particularly for the investigation of the needs
and requirements of state-owned mill and
elevator-have to North Dakotans a sinister
sound They look upon commission as
means for postponing the desired result. They
cannot be blamed for that-when they remem-
Der the result of the commission appointed by
former Governor Hanna. We are inclined,
however, to look more tolerantly upon the COM
mission appointed by Govern Nestos. First,
it's personnel looks right and, second, we are
inclined to give the Governor the benefit of the
doubt when he says he wants to know what's
right before he goes ahead. Too often in the
past we have seen this business of "going
ahead" and rushing something through without
any previous knowledge or experience of con-
ditions ahead. That practice has brought us
failure and loss. The more cautious method,
while it may cause delay, may in the end,
accomplish more. We must not let political
or partisan feeling blind us or bias our judg-
ment. Too much is at stake. We should hold
ourselves aloof from partisan feeling so that we
may be able to deliver calm judgment upon the
finished work
