REDUCING APPROPRIATIONS.

Murmurlngs are heard in Congress
over the fnct that the administration
has failed to carry out It's economy and
retrenchment program with the con-
sistency and severity that the taxpay-
ers have desired. Senator Borah frank
ly says there Is no economy and there
lis no retrenchment: no declares. how
ever, that the reduction OF Federal ap-
propriations Is not q partisan matter,
that under existing conditions both of
the major parties have been equally
guilty OF waste and extravaganza. II
is too early 10 say how many millions
have been clipped of the total budget
for the closing fiscal year in the big
supply bills which are receiving the
finishing touches from Congress. That
there have been no really signiflcan nj
savings, budget bureau or no budget
| bureau, Is the current opinion in Con-
gress.
As long as the director OF the budget
is confined to minor matters OF ad-
ministration-such as standardization
Of purcha ses, etc.-it is to be doubted
whether the American taxpayer viii
derive any great benefit from the bud
get system. He has had little or nc
control over the army and navy bills
The secretary OF war and the secretary
of the navy have gone to President
Harding and gained his approval foi
their programs, including personnel
construction, etc; over these item:
the budget bureau had little or II,
control. Yet the director OF bulge
is authorized under the law to "har
moniZe" the expenditures OF tn,
American government, subject TO tn,
approval OF Cpngress-to put the en-
Il tire budget In proportion and prope

THE HARD COAL FIASCO.

After two months and half Of ne
gotiations the anthracite operators and
the miners have come to a definite
parting OF the ways. What has been
politely called a suspension now
threatens 10 become strike in eaCnest.
This means the calling out OF the five
thousand maintenance men who have
been keeping the mines ready for
business since the shutdown on April
first.
The anthracite miners quit because
they wanted a vacation. not having
had one since 1912. Their employers
were agreeable because the stocks OF
coal on hand were large and there
was no market. The agreement 10
suspend was tacit. Wen talk our diff
ferences over" said both sides in ef-
feet, "and be in no hurry about it be-
cause we can afford to take things
easy for a while" So their COM
mfttees met at intervals and sub
mitted propositions which looked
promising but never got further than
the discussion stage. Three weeks
ago the operators, evidently weary o.
talking, told the miners: Your wage.
are too high. We must cut them .
per cent in order TO reduce prices t,
the consumer"
The miners came back with the state
ment that ito accept would be to per
nit the degradation OF the mine work
ers in order that the consumers O
coal may continue to be unconsCionabl,
exploited 10 the amount of at leas
five dollars ton by the anthracit
monopoly" They not only refused I
consider the cut but held out with NOR
insistence than ever for the 20 pc
cent increase In wages which they ha
voted to demand at their district cor
: vention several months ago. And no
they have rejected the plan of the OF
orators to submit the wage question I
; board of arbitration TO be appointe
by President Harding.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The commencement exercises Of
Wilmington High School, last night,
sent forth l64 graduates Of the in
stitution, an increase OF ss over the
previous years class. This increase
is most encouraging and Is indicative
Of the effectiveness Of recent efforts
IN the direction Of making improve
ment In the public school system of
Wilmington.
Last nights commencement was the
first held under what may be termed
the new dispensation. We now have
a small Board OF Education, composed
Of only seven members, instead of the
ward representative board OF Is mem
bers which II succeeded. and results
have justified the wisdom OF placing
the general school management in
charge OF a smaller body.
Important reforms in school pro-
cedure have been inaugurated by the
new Board OF Education, and others
are IN contemplation, including the
introduction Of the platoon system
which should operate for greater ef-
fic!ency In the future. And in view
OF some conditions which were some
what painfully in evidence in recen
years. these improvements are mos
pleasing.
The prospect for the future Is good
With intelligent direction by tn
Board OF Education, practical econom.
IN expenditures, and a careful avoid
ance OF the illegal creation Of float
ing debts, the trend Of our publ
schools In the future may be un
erringly IN the direction Of increase
and valuable influence.

THE MIRROR OF

1921, "a compared with 1890. arrests
for drug addiction Increased 44.6 per
cent. for violation Of the prohibition
laws 102 per cent, for driving an auto

for assault and battery 1874 per cent,
for homicide 1877 per cent. for theft
and burglary per cent. Now the last
three classes OF arrest may be set
