By rendering assistance to the agri
cultural sections the Congress KEEP
alive the buying power of over hal
the nations population. This aid, al
though extended directly to agricul
ture, was of vital Importance to bust
ness.
Although no act Of Congress figured
In the process, nevertheless, the in
huences Of the Republican admins
tration, of which the Congress is a
part, gave such confidence to the
business world that within a year
from the time the Republican party
took control Of all branches Of the
Government prices of practically all
sound securities advanced materially.
The most outstanding example of this
is the increase of Is per cent. in the
value Of $1S,OOO,OOO,OOO worth of out
standing Liberty bonds.
AS another reflex of the influence OF
the Republican administration, inter.
est rates have been lowered from 2
per cent. to Az within IL months, thus
releasing money at a reasonable rate
for the use Of business interests.
No one has the temerity to deny that
business conditions today, compared
with a year ago, are not infinitely bet.
ter and that prospects are undoubted.
ly for further Improvement. There is
no other explanation for this trans,
formation in the business world ex.
cept the IL months application of Re
publican policies and the certain
knowledge throughout the business
world that the influences and policies
Of the Republican Party, which will
direct the affairs of the nation for the
next two years, are constructive in
huences that make for accumulation
rather than waste, assist legitimate &C,
tivities, stand four-squared for the pro.
lection Of capital and labor and stand
equally firm against the fallacious
theories of Communism and Social.
ism.
In brief, the commercial optimism
with which the people of all classes in |
the United States face the coming |
year must be wholly attributed to the |
fact that all branches of the Govern.
ment of the United States are now in
control OF the Republican Party.

'NICKEL-A-HEN' CAMPAIGN
NETS LITTLE FROM FANCIEPS

Few fanciers have contributed to
the "Nickel-a-He campaign for
State College dormitory-the bulk OF
contributions have come from the
farmers and commercial egg pro-
ducers, boys and girls clubs and feed
men.
Two boys pledged $50, one feed man
gave $500, and so on down the line,
This campaign is for the purpose of
securing funds to build an additional
dormitory at Pennsylvania State COL
lege Of Agriculture. State College
must have a dormitory and other
buildings, and no matter whether the
state or the agricultural elements
contribute, money must be raised for
the purpose of securing these build
ings.
Potato growers are raising money
and other farm classes are following
suit because additional buildings are
necessary to keep pace with necessity,
Evidently a new slogan Is in the air
"Give until Pennsylvania comes int
her own"

The estimates submitted by Presi
dent Wilson for the conduct of the
Government for the fiscal year 1921
amounted to $6,15O, 100000, and the ap
preparations made under these esti
mates by a Republican Congress
amounted to $4,7S9, 100000, showing an
approximate saving in appropriations
Sor that year Of $1,4OO,O0O,OOO.
The estimates submitted by Presi
dent Wilson for the fiscal year 1922
were $500, 100000, and the appropria-
tions made under these estimates by
a Republican Congress were reduced
to $4,O65, 100000, showing an approx
mate saving Of $1,6OO,OOO,OOO.
The estimates for the fiscal year
1928 submitted by President Harding
amount to 1888, 100000, and the ap-
propriations, when completed, will
probably be $500, 100000, or $S5S, S,OOO,-
900 less than the estimates.
The people of the United States
should understand that for many years
to come it will not be possible to run
the Government for less than $S,500,-
100000 per annum. This seems like
a very large sum, but when it is real
lied that we have three fixed charges,
consisting Of interest on the public
debt, sinking fund, and maintenance
Of the Veterans Bureau, which were
created by the war and amount to ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000 per annum,
it will be seen that the other expenses
Of the Government have been reduced
by the Republican administration to
$1,50O,000,000.
The annual cost Of the Government
before the war was S1,250,000;000.
Thus it will be seen that the present
cost, aside from the fixed charges re-
ferred to, is but $3.50, 100000 in excess
of pre-war cost, and at least $150,00O,-
900 Of this is accounted for by the
normal increase in the business Of the
postal service, leaving but $1O0,000,000 |
of expense for ordinary purposes in |
excess of pre-war costs.
Milford chronicle., 1922-11-03

The Republican administration cam'
into authority in March, 1921, pledged
to put more business in government
and to have less OF government IL
business. That pledge has been lib
orally redeemed. One Of the first
things which the Republican admins
tratiOn did was to impress upon
business interests that it was up tO
them to become self-reliant if they
wished to become self-sustaining;
that they must begin to work out their
own salvation instead of running to
the Government for artificial stimulus.
Legislation has been enacted wherever
it could prove helpful, but it has not
been permitted to take the place Of
individual energy and thrift.
simultaneously with the elimina-
tiOn of Government in business there
was an injection of business in Gov
ernment. Perhaps what will go down
as one Of the greatest pieces of con-
structive legislation Of the last half
century was the enactment of a law
creating a Budget Bureau, which
made it not only possible but man.
datory for the first time in the his
tory of the United States Government
to conduct the Governments business
in an orderly manner. It is largely
due to the Inauguration Of this bud
get system that the daily operating
expenses Of the Government have
been reduced in the aggregate over
s2.OO0,OOO a day under this admins
tration.
The business interests Of the cOun-
try were given consideration in the
enactment Of the new tax measure.
Surtaxes were decreased, excess profits
taxes were abolished altogether, and
the shipping interests Of the United
Stats-which include practically every
business and industry-were relieved
from the burdensOme transportation
taxes that were levied upon freight,
express and passenger traffic.
The Edge Act to facilitate the or
ganization Of corporations to promote
exports was amended in order to rem
der needed assistance to business in
terests endeavoring to expand Amer
ica's markets in foreign countries,
thereby increasing production and |

Any one who has followed the con-
duct of the Government since Mr..
Harding's induction into the presi-
dency must marvel at the rapidity
with which the cost of government has
been reduced. It is the constant aim
of the administrative and legislative
branches of the government, all in con-
troll Of the Republican Party, to ad-
minister the affairs of the Government
on a strictly business basis, expsnd-
ing not single dollar for any purpose
not essential to the Nations needs.
The one thing on which all are agreed
is rigid economy in Government Ox-
penditure, and nothing can more fOrci-
bly, portray the story Of accomplish
ment achieved in this direction than
the statement that costs have been
reduced to the extent above indicated.
One billion, five hundred and seven
teen million have been expended on
the care Of the wounded and sick SOL
diers Of the World War up to Febru-
ary 1st, last, indicating that nothing
has been left undone to provide for
the care and comfort Of the men VINO
gave themselves to the country in its
hour Of need.
The country is to be congratulated
on having Mr.. Harding in the presl-
dency. The problems handed down to
him from the war complicated though
they are, have been solved in the in.
terest Of the people. He has had the
vision to see, the patriotism to do, and
the courage and ability to achieve. His
devotion to the Nations needs has
been the admiration Of all who have
watched him. He has been jealous,
painstaking, patriotic, untiring and I'M
selfish, and he has had and will have
the hearty cooperation of the Con-
gress in his efforts to put the country
on a stable basis. Nineteen hundred
and twenty-three will find America the
only country in the world living within
its income. The people have reason to
rejoice at this accomplishment of their
President and their Congress.

Several pens deserve more credit than
is shown on the records, pens that suf-
fered by selection as to maturity, either
premature or delayed, that laid before
entry and underwent a full or partial

ed too late to make a fair showing

Several pens have changed hands.
Some Of the English birds will remain in

pace; undoubtedly Miller Purvis' writ
ing in the Breeders Gazette, is correct
in his recent estimate of so eggs per
hen per year for the hen population
of this country.
Assuming that Purvis is correct, his
estimate represents an increase in pro-
duction of about so eggs per hen in the
last fifteen or twenty years.
It is not hard to find evidence Of
progress in increased production. After
the very extensive use of trapnests
comes better methods in every branch
and the commercial egg producer is
eternally working toward the greater
laying individual, culling to narrow
of high efficiency and sanitary
and feeding practices which maintain
low mortality.

NOTES

1t is safe to estimate that any out
break Of poultry ailments will be-
come epidemic. Precautionary meas
ures now will stop losses later. To
avoid the non-productive period in an
epidemic and during the recovery Pc
riod cures are less effective than pre-
ventives, and the difference in cost
and labor is very greatly in favor Of
the latter.
With this most unusual of seasons
there was never a time when poultry
raisers were so compelled to look
well to sanitation in anticipation or
outbreaks of fowl diseases.
