SAVING MILLIONS

From Washington comes news that the
cost of running the United States govern
ment this year is 1895, 100000 less than
it was last year. That is encouraging to
the taxpayer because reduced govern
mental expenditures mean still further
reduced taxes later. The Republican adj
ministration's economy pledges are being
redeemed.
How these hundreds of millions are
saved for the taxpayer is illustrated by
the postoffice department, where costs of
supplies have been cut hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars on single items since the
institution OF new system of buying
supplies.
Under the old system of buying sup
plies, contracts were awarded to various
companies for furnishing such supplies as
might be ordered during fixed period of
time The bidders were without informal
ton as to the exact quantities that would
be ordered and SO they could cut their
prices as they ordinarily would on whole
sale lots. In addition the Postoffce De-
partment even awarded contracts to two
or more companies for furnishing the same
kind of supplies.
Under the new system supplies are pur-
chased in specific quantities. This permits
the bidders to give accurate and lower
estimates.
Economies effected by the new pur-
chasing methods have far surpassed ex-
pectations. While the downward trend of
prices is partly responsible for reductions
in purchasing costs, the biggest part of the
saving is due to the improved buying
methods. Paper is typical example. The
Postoffice Department cut costs on $780,
900 pounds of paper this year Is per cent.
On stationary the reduction was even
greater amounting to 20 per cent. Miscel-
laneous items were sliced II per cent.
Similar business-like methods have been
introduced in to all departments at Wash
ington, and today the federal govern
ment is on an efficient basis.

PROFIT SHARING IS COMING

The day is coming when practically al!
of our great railroad, manufacturing and
other corporations will be run on profit
sharing basis. When that time does come
it will see the end of strikes, lockouts and
all other forms of labor disturbances.
1t is doubtful, however, if we shall see
such day until some great upheaval or
disaster has knocked a reasonable de-
gree of reasoning and sense into heads
that now seem to be practically devoid
of both.
The tendency today is to skin every
penny possible at the expense of some
body else, irrespective of the moral or
legal rights of others.
This tendency is not confined to any one
industry, or to any particular class of peo-
pie. It is everywhere, and is on the in
crease.
We will have lulls between our periods
of strife, but as long as systematic grab
rules the commercial world we will have
no permanent stability In business-Only
a condition of wondering today what the
morrow will bring forth.
Profit sharing on an equitable basis is
the only salve that will heal the national
wound.

STILL SAVING EUROPE

The United States saved MILLIONS of lives
in Russia by 4 stupendous distribution of
grains, but its work there apparently is
far from finished. After effects of the
famine will not disappear for some time
and menace as terrible has broken out
in other areas. Southeastern Russia has
developed an alarming number of cases
of cholera and typhus fever; the latter is
reported twice as prevalent as last year
There is grave danger to all the Mediter-
ranean countries trading with Black Sea
ports, for it is in these latter and their
vicinage that these presidential diseases
most prevail.
America will be looked to for succor,
not merely because it has the pecuniary
means of relief and the will to undertake
the saving of unfortunate peoples, but be-
cause it has developed scientific treatment
of these diseases farther than others have
Right now the Near East Relief agency is
getting a breathing spell after bit
ter contest with Cohlera in Armenia
and other Caucasian republics. This
epidemic is reported under control now.
1t was two months battle which DR..
j. K. Marden of Boston, medical director,
led and superintendent. Most remarkable
is the short time in which substantial re-
suits were obtained. The American Vac
cine Laboratories in Tiflis labored in al
most superhuman fashion and produced
in one month 100000 doses of cholera
vaccine which, being distributed gratis in
Armenia Georgia and Azerabaijan, put a
sudden check to the spread of the disease
and restored to health hundreds of thou
sands of persons who had been attacked,
The success achieved by the Americans
in the Caucasus makes them the logical
one to conduct the anti-cholera campaign
which must be waged in Russian areas. If
conditions around the Black Sea ports are
only half as bad as has been reported to-
the League Of Nations there is a grave
menace to western Europe. All the coun-
tries in line for invasion will quarantine
against the plague, but the real work of
combating the peril will fall upon the
Americans who have demonstrated their
ability to cope with such serious questions.

SON OF A SEER SPEAKS

"The bolshevist experiment in Russia is
one of the worst political failures the
world has known" says Count Iya Toll
stoy, son of Leo Tolstoy, eminent Russian
sage, in an interview in which he predicts
revolution in Russia as an evitable sequel
to the present economic chaos. The in
ability of the government to pay the SOL
diers will hasten the soviet's end, he pre-
diets. Events in Russia since the red en-
voys returned empty handed from The
Hague leave no doubt of the desperate
straits in which the Lenine regime finds
itself
First there was the bombastic call to
''the proletariat of the world to rise up in
revolution which, of course, was meant
for home consumption. Then came the
news that the soviet government will lift
the prohibition and permit the Russians
to have their vodka-provided they buy it
from the government. Both have the ear
marks of the desperation in which the
soviet finds itself The world revolution
tocsin has been sounded SO often that it
is, of course, meaningless.
The red autocracy is in desperate
straits for the reason that it has consumed
virtually all the physical wealth of the
state. "By spelling the incentive of the
people to work through repeated con-
fiscation of the product of their labor the
bolsheviki have destroyed the asset of any
country" says the count.
The bolsheviki have thrived upon dead
mems labor. With productivity reduced
to a minimum by false social doctrine it
has sought to perpetuate itself by con-
Stunning the fruits of past achievement
There Us only one sequel to such pro-
cedure and that end is as certain in Rus
STA as it is that night follows day.

Two days after his horse returned
to the ranch riderless and with one
stirrup of the saddle missing. A
search for Orman was participated
in by ten or twelve men and con-
tinued for several days without
success. 1t is supposed that the
horse must have fallen with Orman

man to die alone on the desert.

WHAT is THE ANSWER?-

An immigration movement, which
leaves Italy the only European country
to send its quota to our shores, has pre-
sented puzzel which the immigration
commissioner and other students have not
been able to solve. Anticipation of the
trainers of the new immigration law seem
to have gone astray. Immigrants are no
longer crowding the liners and fighting
for place in the land Of promise as they
once did. Reasons in explanation differ,
but when all the answers are in, the con-
dition remains the same.
Whatever the reason or reasons, the
outflow for many months has about
equaled arrivals, but the surprising fact is
that immigration from the more desirable
countries has fallen off almost to the van
fishing point. The British quota of $4,000
has surplus of slightly more than $4,000,
and Germany sent only go to meet that
country's privilege of 1881. Arrivals
from France, Scandinavia, Russia, Poland
and echo-Sloviakia, former heavy con-
tributors of new blood, are so few that
they maye be said to have stopped.

and to insure that The character of the

While Of course. the Government does
not intend to become a censor for radio
