has been reduced until it is now AS
per cent.
The last year Of Wilson's admin
istration the actual cost of running
the government was S5,538, 100000. The
actual cost Of running the government
for the fiscal year just ended June
80 was $S,795, 900, 900. This is an an
nual saving of $1,74S, 100000 which the
Republican administration has made
in the routine expenditures of the gov
ernment. This was possible because
the Republican Congress early in its
special session re-enacted a budget law
which the previous Republican Con-
gress had passed only to have a Dem.
Ocratic President veto it. It was easi-
ly the most important piece of bust
ness legislation which has been en-
acted within this generation. After
its enactment it was sensibly applied
by the executive officers of the Re-
publican administration.
The work Of Congress, the wise ad
ministrative policies and the intreduc-
partments in the conduct Of public
affairs have all combined to reViVs in
dividual and corporate enterprise, SO
that today, in contrast to year ago,
unemployment has ceased to be a
factor outside of those industries in
which there are strikes. Agriculture
is on it's feet. Business Is improving
each day. Industrial output is increas-
ing. Capital is going back to work In
the channels Of private and profitable |
1t really makes some diff |
ference at the end Of year whether |
the government has been controlled by !
an administration and a Congress that
are generally right in contrast to an
and Congress that were
generally wrong.
The Republican party will go before
he country this fall without any apol
)gy for this record. 1t is a record
which needs no defense. The people
ire not going to stop the magnificent
work so well begun. They are not
going to retreat to the conditions
which prevailed prior to March, 1921
They are not going to return the Dem.
,cratic party to power and thereby re-
tore the evil conditions which have
,een so largely corrected in the past
6 months of Republican control of
he executive and legislative branches
f the government.

THERE'S A "KICK'' IN KISS
KOlICS

There's a ''kick" to every kiss ac-
cording to University professor who
has invented the KissOgraph. This de-
vice measures the "kick" of the kiss.
Taking man and woman who will
osculate, the inventor attaches wires
to them. Then they kiss. The machine
acts automatically and measures the
linear extent and the milimeters Of
blood pressure resulting from the
mlstletoe kiss, the stolen kiss, the ex-
pert kiss of the finished firt, and the
soul kiss. So sensitive is the Kisso-
graph that it will also register the do
mestic kiss, the degree of frigidity in
kisses one woman give another whom
sne does not like, and all the other
~ varieties. The Kissograph is an
adaptation of the sphygmanometer
which psychologists use to detect lies.

Sufficient unto the lay is the hens

End OF DEPRESSION IN SIGHT AND CONFIDENCE

gathered in a number of interviews
with visiting bankers Of the state

meeting Of Group l. Oklahoma Bank
crs association While the express
sions varied in some respects, the
same tone was evident throughout
and strain Of optimism prevailed.
Eugene P. Gum, secretary Of the
state association, was optimistic over
the outlook for the future, declaring
that in conversation with financial
heads of New York and other eastern
and northern points, predictions
were for an upward trend.
"That doesn't mean that the good
times are going to return tomor-
row." said Mr.. Gum, "and it doesn't
mean that there will be loads OF
money to loan broadcast by the local
banks next week, but it does mean
that the turning point has been
reached. We are coming back.
"There is more money in the big
eastern banks now than there has
been for long time. There is more
money in the federal reserve banks
than there has been for a long time
