BUDGET CONSIDERATION

Sioux City Journal-Congress hav-
a demand that government business be
conducted according to the budget
plans drawn up by Gen. Dawes, the
director, will now consider the spend
to rule and not as the pork barrel
spirit or one OF impulse moves it. 1t
Is q departure from the old method Of
opening Uncle Sans pockets of all
than they contained to meet the de-
ficits in various government depart
ments. In a word, the government is
to live within it's means like a well
its affairs as would a well organized
business.
The house appropriations commit
tee has been at work on the budget
/, since last November, and has not
completed its task, which has entailed
much effort In various directions.
Twelve big supply bills are eventually
to be put before congress, starting
with the treasury department and end
ing with naval appropriations. What
is to be appropriated for the navy
cannot now be considered because of
the arms conference not being fin
ished. The hope Of the administra-
ton and Of the entire country is that
the conference will complete its work
in such a way as will justify an APP
preciable reduction in naval appro-
priations.
The supply bills will hold the at
.tention Of the committees in charge
for two months or longer. The total
the measures will represent extends
into billions Of dollars, for govern
ment has increased in cost and Budget
Director Dawes was able to cut only
a few hundred millions from the orig
inal departmental estimates. One
thing in connection with the budget
plan seems to be definite and unyield-
ing, and that is the determination of
the administration to have business
conducted without deficits. The har.
monious accord between the various
departments and the White House re-
garding that part of the program is
one of the noteworthy developments
of the budget system.

of such steel manufactured at our
doors in Gary. 1t means an addition
al charge of 1920 a ton at Duluth,
and a varying excess, greater or less,
throughout the entire middle west.
This toll of imaginary freight rates,
never paid to the railroads, but going
into the pockets of the steel produc-
ers, is estimated at more than $751;
900 900 a year. That $4,000, 900 a
year comes out Of the pockets of men
in every walk Of life. That is the
point which needs emphasis in the
plea for greater unity Of public
opinion.
The farmer, it is estimated by the
American Farm Bureau federation,
uses an average of $500 pounds Of
steel a year in various forms. Allow
ing nothing for the added cost of do
ing business, or the added profits on
such cost by fabricators, that would
mean an additional annual toll of
more than so a year to each farmer
in the Chicago district and more than
500 to each in northern Minnesota,
the Dakotas, western Iowa, and Neb-
raska. That ought to centralize
farmers opinions ON the evils of
pittsburgh Plus"
City men pay ever a higher price.
The additional cost to the new federal
reserve bank of Chicago alone has
hnan AnNip,ataI nt eco n0n LN,yar~, -a,.
building in every middle western
town contributes to this toll accord
ing to the amount of steel it requires.
Every manufacturer and consumer of
steel products pays. Every consumer
Of manufactured goods of any de
scription pays because of the higher
cost of such manufacture due to high
er cost Of plant and equipment.
The farmer and the city man pay
together because of the higher cost
of good concrete roads for their com
munication, The good roads program
now laid out in this country is said
to require II, 900, 900 tons Of steel.
Unquestionably this is a subject
which should touch the thought of
every resident of the middle west and
crystalize hat thought into concen-
trated public opinion. 1t should unite
city and country for the common good
1t should influence the federal trade
commission which is considering the
pittsburgh Plus subject to forget
partisanship in favor of justice. 1t
should influence congress to the same
end. If that Is done, the middle west
will get the st. Lawrence seaway and
the lakes to gulf waterway, and vari
and in the truest sense are the need
Of the nation.

said paper manufacturers until, to-
wards the end Of the war, it became
apparent that there would be a short
age of paper. Thereupon the prices
of paper, which had sold from 2 to 3
cents a pound, was rapidly showed up
to 10 cents and ever as high as IL
and 20 cents a pound.
Take it from us, the ~profiteering
that was done in paper over two or
three years was one Of the most gor-
geous things you ever saw in Ameri-
can business Then Sweden and
Norway and Germany began shipping
paper to this country to sell for as
low as 4 cents-and still cheaper, il
necessary. That killed the paper

time being.
Now, the silver-tongued prOfiteers

prevent the pulp paper from foreign
spruce woods to come into this coun,
try. Such a tariff would enable them
to advance prices again at will.

MIDWEsT's OPPORTUNITY

Chicago Tribune-The fastened
trend of the dominating influence IN
the United States senate from east to
west, which follows the passing of
Senator Penrose Of Pennsylvania,
accords inspiration of hope for the
central states of the country The
square deal in congress sought by
the middle west now appears more
likely of realization. With the extra
ordinary influence Of Senator Pen
rose removed, and the organization
of Atlantic coast interests thereby
shaken, it becomes more probable
that the needs of the middle west may
be presented and supported on their
merits rather than in competition
with the demands and requirements
of the east.
One thing Is necessary to realize
on that hope. That is a united and
aggressive public opinion in the mid
die west in support of u proper
claims upon congressional activities,
and In support of the men who a
make such claims effective. Such
unity of public opinion and support
requires appreciation and under
standing of our common interests.
One Of the best rallying points for
such public opinion lies in the Pitts

weaken the constructive stand OF the
President Is indicated by Senator
Borah and to a lesser extent by Sen
ator Johnson with reference to the
peaceful accomplishments OF the arms
conference. 1t has been indicated by
the action of the house appropriations
committee in reporting a treasury de-
partment appropriation bill cutting
budget estimates approximately 3 per
cent in defiance of administration
support Of the budget as framed. 1t
is now indicated by the agrarian
bloc's insistence upon a bill which
would require the President to appoint
a "dirt farmer" to the federal reserve
board.
President Harding properly opposes
that bill. He does not object to APP
pointing a farmer to the board if he
can find a farmer who Is also a bank
er, but he does not want to be forced
to appoint a farmer. That position
is well taken. Banking is one job;
farming is another. Being a farmer
no more qualities a man for the fed
eral reserve board than being a bank
er qualities him to operate a farm.
The aErarian bloc's position in this
matter is perilously near to sovietism.
The next logical step would be for
a soviet board to manage the federal
reserve bank, with one farmer, one
blacksmith, n carpenter, one shoe
maker, one tailor, one horse doctor,
and so forth, afficiCting.
What is needed is more unity in
the Republican ranks in congress CO
operating with the Republican Presi-
dent to make effective the construc,
tive Republican program outlined.
That this constructive program can
be put through is indicated by the &C
complishments already recorded. But
to put it through quickly requires
unity Of purpose AMI effort.

Chicago Tribuna-United Senator

ly but effectively the accomplishments
of the Republican natiinal administra-

not necessary to repeat this summary

accomplishments may be revealed by
the statement that reduction Of tax

$500. 900. 900, and for next year $400,-
000, 900 more. With the exception
Of fixed and irreducible charges left

THE FARM CONFERENCE

Second in Importance to the peace
conference which has been concluded
Is the national agricultural conference
which will soon be held under the
direction OF Secretary of Agriculture,
Wallace, acting upon the request OF
President Harding. A Brookings man,
Prof. j. w. Wilson, is n Of the del
egates who will assist in shaping
remedial measures to meet the pres
ent farm situation and will help lay
down a permanent policy for the de-
velopment of a self sustaining agri-
culture. which Is expected to result
from the conference. South Dakota
and Brookings county are fortunate
in having a man to represent them
at this conference, and more particu-
larly a man of the ability Of Professor
Wilson.
The entire personnel of the confer
ence will number only between 100
and $50, so each deegate will have
an important part to play. The task
Is a great one for agriculture at the
present time is at a turning point in
its evolution. Farming must be made
to pay of itself in the coming era.
In the past the profits of farming have
rested largely upon the increase in
the value Of the land. In finding
measures to relieve the distress of
the farmers, the conference will at
the same time be reviving business
In all lines through restoration of the
farmers buying power. Questions of
transportation, agricultural financing.
utilization of land resources, forestry,
policies on land leasing. various
aspects of marketing, including Stats
tics, warehousing and terminal devel-
opments, and rural social life VIII be
on the program.
Practically all other business lines
have completed their afterwar liqui
dation and are on a sound basis again,
but agriculture has not been able to
complete the liquidation process as
yet. Generally speaking 1t would be
suicidal to most farmers and farming
communities. Great progress has
been made however, and with stability
in all other business lines. the prob
lem OF liQuidating the farmers will
work itself out. Marketing problems
and transportation are knotty sub
jects that require attention. Great
relief will be found in their proper
solution.
