Prohibition Drawn
Issue in Missouri

st. Louis. Mo. Sept. 30.-Although
the majority of Republican and
Democratic candidates for congress
have not made any announcements
on the prohibition question. the wit
and dry issue. is expected to play a
prominent part in the Missouri cleo
ton next November because Of the
opposite stands taken by the ajor
party senatorial nominees. r. Il.
Brewster, lawyer of Kansas City. the
Republican choice for L. S. senator,
has announced himself as dry as
the 18th amendment" while Senator
Reed. the Democratic standard
bearer. is wet.
The fact that the prohibition Issue
has been drawn so clearly by sena-
torial candidates is believed to be
partly responsible for the reticence
of congressional aspirants on this
matter. Only six out of 16 Republi-
cans seeking congressional seats
have announced their stand while
but three out of a similar number
of Democrats have stated definitely
their views.
Two of the Republicans. both

crat, Harry y. Halves of the 18th

The Budoet Miracle
New York Tribune


The estimated government deficit
for 1925 is $672,0O0,000. The
reason for this shortage is found in
the cuts made in internal revenue
taxation and the diminution' Of other
revenue returns. Congress, however.
| deliberately chose to face deficit
this year. 1t was thought that the
prospect of ending the year with a
balance on the wrong side of the ledg-
CT would stimulate economy in next
years appropriations and also spur
the executive departments to further
retrenchment.
Mr.. S. p. Gilbert, Jr., Assistant Sec
Rotary of the Treasury, says in an ar
ticle in the October number Of THE
Nations Business" that it would be a
calamity to impose additional taxes
to meet the impending deficit. He
points out that "the whole admins
tration is striving to reduce the de-
ficit and if possible. to eliminate it by
! the end of the year" This result can
| be accomplished. he thinks, through
increased revenues from realization
on securities and surplus property
and through further reduction in eX-
penditures now authorized.
General Dawes showed in his re-
! port of May last that the economies
and savings incident to the imposition
of executive control over government
a, expenditures in 19o1-'..2 would be
about $3.50. 900. This sum was
saved out of appropriations already
made. 1t is the hope Of the new Di-
rector of the Budget Bureau to make
similar reductions this year which
will materially lower the indicated
adverse balance.
The Administration will continue
to trim sail. This policy is whole
some, for it strengthens the morale
Of the departments and turns their
thoughts away from spending to
economizing. The great revolution
accomplished by President Harding in
Federal housekeeping has been in
part psychological. That is the last
ing part. 1t can tide us over deficits
now and in the future. The miracle
Of the budget system has only begun
when a Treasury official can contem-
plate a deficit Of 100000 with
out despair and confidently predict
its disappearance or its satisfactory
dcf1ation.

INCREASE IN EXPENDITURE
For PHYSICAL EDUCATION

An increase OF S6S3,000 in annual
expenditures for physical education
in the United States is announced in
a report of three years progress made
by the National Physical Education
Service, the National Committee of
which includes Walter Camp. William
Kent. Or. Charles Mayo, DR.. j. H.
McCurdy. Mrs. Percy " Pennyback-
or, Mrs. Mary Roberts Einehart, Dr.
Thomas a. storey, and S. Brinkelhoff
Thorne.
The Committee announces that
twenty-elght of the states have en-
acted legislation partially effective in
providing physical education and
health training for school children.
The campaign will be continued with
the aim of giving every youngster in
the Nation opportunity for health and
normal physical development. AL
though the progress during the last
three years has given this fundamcn-
tai training TO 100000 additional
children yet, at the present time, on
ly slightly more than one-tenth of the
c2,00o,00o of school age are being
reached. State campaigns will be
pressed during the coming winter in
eight Of the middle western states
which have not yet enacted legisla-
ton.
The inadcQuacy Of many of the
state laws indicates that Federal CO.
operation with the states will be nee
essary in order to insure the early
extension Of physical education for all
the school children of the Nation
Draft statistics, reporting more than
onc-third of the young men physi-
cay disqualified for full military SER
vice, showed the result OF neglect of
youthful training for physical fitness.
II is pointed out that the Federal
Government, as we'll as the States
and local communities. has the re-
sponsibility for seeing to it that the
generation now being trained in the
schools shall be adequately prepared
