Public Economy Motto of
Republican Administration
Operating Expenses of Government Re-
duced Nearly One Half by Republican
Congress Working in Harmony With
Executive Department
U. s. REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN b. MADDEN
ILLIN0IS), CHAIRMAN HOUSE COMMITTEE
ON APPROPRIATIONS

The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the conduct of the
Government for the fiscal year 1921
amounted to $6,150, 100000. and the ap-
preparations made under these esti-
mates by Republican Congress
amounted to s4,7s9. 900 900, showing an
approximate saving in appropriations
for that year of s1,400. 100000.
The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the fiscal year 1922
were 5.60O,O0O,0OO. and the approprla.
tons made under these estimates by
a Republican Congress were reduced
to $4,O65 100000, showing an approx
mate saving OF $1.600,000, 900
The estimates for the fiscal year
s923 submitted by President Harding
amount to 1888. 100000, and the ap-
Ipropriations, when completed, will
probably be $3,5O0.000, 900, or 1853. O0O.-
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 s3.50O,-
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.
1t will be seen that the other expenses
of the Government have been reduced
by the Republican administration to
$1,000 900, 900.
The annual cost of the Government
before the war was s1,250,000, 900.
Thus 1t will be seen that the present
cost, aside from the fixed charges re-
ferred to, is but s25O,OO0,0OO in excess
of pre-war cost, and at least s150,000.-
600 of this is accounted for by the
normal increase in the business of the
postal service. leaving but s100,000.OOO
of expense for ordinary purposes in
excess of pre-war costs.

Other Peace Steps Coming.

Time will reveal that the Washing
ton conference was only one of sew
eral important steps which the United
States will take in the international
field-steps all designed to promote
permanent peace throughout the
world. A member of the Harding cab.
met remarked the other day that il
would be a fine thing If the admin
tstration should record one interna-
tional step a year-one step each year
in the direction of International peace.
That such an outcome is in the mind
of the President is pretty well under
stood.
Persons who are in close touch with
the administration understand that
when the Washington conference adj
iourned 1t was the thought not only Of
the President and Secretary Hughes
but of all the delegates from the other
nations that were represented at the
conference, that as soon as the Wash
ington treaties were ratified, the
washington conference would be dupn
Gated in Europe. France flew fhe
track and as a result the plan for Il
conference that would attempt to do
for Europe what the Washington con
ference did for the Far East has nor
been carried out. bu persons who seek

To Alter Civil Service Act.

The National Civil Service Reform
league has asked the congress to In
corporate the following provisions In
the civil service law-provisions which
1t says would remedy most of the
weaknesses of the present law:
"Rules shall be made by the Unit.
ed States civil service commission for
establishing standards of efficiency In
the public service uniform for each
class Of employees; for ascertaIning
and recording periodically the eff
cheney of individual employees and Of
groups of employees; for service
records and ratings to be used in de-
termining the promotion, demotion or
removal of employees.
''The commission may likewise pro-
vide for such efficiency tests. investt-
cations, and examinations, periodical
or otherwise, as may promote the good
of the service and for the suspension
demotion or removal from the service
of any employee who fails to pass sat
isfactorily such tests, Investigations
and examinations or who fails to
reach the standard of efficiency pro-
Vlued Dy the commission.
Employees may also be suspended,
denoted or removed for any cause
which will promote the efficiency Of
the service upon written specifications
filed by the appointing authority
head Of department or any citizen, with
board of hearings and adjustments
appointed by the civil service com
mission; such board shall give notice
of such specification to the person
whose removal is sought who shall
have the opportunity to be heard, and
the hearings, investigation and deter.
mination Of said board shall be made
within thirty days after the filing Of
such specifications, and the findings
and decisions of such board, when APP
proved by the commission, shall be
final unless overruled by the Presi
dent, and shall not be subject to re
vision by any court"
If this power Is given to the civil
service commission in addition TO the
present right Of the appointing power
TO remove absolutely any subordinate
after giving reasons and notice, there
will not be left any ground whatever
for the claim so often made that the
civil service system prevents or OBJ.

monstrous abuses of the spoils sys-
tenn in order to remove the inefficient

ground of support"
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1922-08-03

truth to say that influential men In
public life In the United States felt
that unless the so-called Japanese
United States situation could be ironed
out, 1t would be extremely difficult for
the two nations to go ahead on a
peace basis.
"Minor League OF Nations"
One year ago this month President
Harding and Secretary Hughes set In
motion the machinery that brought In
to life the Washington conference
with It's worldwide results. 1t should
not be forgotten that Japan In rati-
flying the treaties cancels the treaty
between Great Britain and Japan,
known as the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
In place of that treaty there appears
the treaty between the United
States, Great Britain, France and
Japan, which is known as the four
power treaty under which the security
of the insular possessions of each of
these nations in the Pacific Is guar
anteed. Thus In place of an alliance
between Great Britain and Japan, an
alliance which In the estimation of the
United States was a distinct menace
to this government, there appears
what some persons have preferred to
call a minor league of nations.
Looking back on the work of the
Washington conference the statesmen
throughout the world undoubtedly re
alize that the great accomplishment
was the establishment of cordial re-
lations between the United States and
Japan. Even the California land con-
troversy, which some people would
like to keep alive, has apparently been
buried for the time being at least
The treaties will not become opera
tive until the European nations that
are parties to them ratify, but the
State department has received salts

Europe will not long be delayed. Great
Britain has already approved in part
and will finish the work In the next
few weeks. according to advices re
ceived at the State department. France
is also ready to go ahead with rati-
fication and the understanding now is
that reservations will probably not be
applied by the French to any of the
treaties. The small European nations
have been waiting on the great pow
ers.

Protects Property and Health.

The committee argues that coming
protects property and health, and in
this connection says:
Suppose you have just bought some
land In a neighborhood of homes and
built cozy little house. There are
two vacant lots south of you. If
your town is zoned, no one can put
up a large apartment house on those
lots, overshadowing your home, steal
ing your sunshine and spelling the In
vestment of 20 years saving. Nor is
anyone at liberty to erect a noisy,
malodorous public garage to keep you
awake nights or to drive you to sell
out for half of what you put into your
home.
IF town is zoned, property values
become more stable, mortgage com.
panies are more ready to lend money,
and more houses can be built.
"A zoning law, IL enacted In time,
prevents an apartment house from be-
coming a giant, airless hive, hous-
ing, human beings like crowded bees.
II provides that buildings may not be
so high and so close that men and
women must work in rooms never
freshened by sunshine or lighted from
the open sky"

months.
Primer on City Zoning.
The preliminary report of Herbert
Hoover's advisory committee on city
coming took the form of a coming
primer. Answering the question.
why do we need city zonlngg" the
committee says:
Some one has asked, Does your
city keep its gas range in the parlor
and its piano in the kitchenY That is
what many an American city permits
its household to do for it,
I'VE know what TO think of house
hold In which an undlsclplined daugh-
ter makes fudge in the parlor. In
which her sister leaves soiled clothes
soaking In the bathtub. while father
throws his muddy shoes on the stairs,
and little Johnny makes beautiful mud
pies on the front steps.
Yet many American cities do the
same sort of thing when they allow
stores to crowd In at random among
private dwellings, and factories and
public garages to come elbowing in
among neat retail stores or well-kept
apartment houses. Cities do no bet
ter when they allow office buildings so
tall and bulky and so closely crowded
that the lower floors not only become
too dark and unsatisfactory for human
use, but for that very reason fail to
earn fair cash return to the individ-
ual investors.
1T is this stupid wasteful tumble
which zoning will prevent and gradu-
ally correct. We must remember how
ever, that while coming is a very i'm
portant part of city planning, it should
go hand in hand with planning streets
and providing for parks and play
grounds and other essential features
of well-equipped city. Alone, 1t is
no universal panacea for all municipal
Ills, but as part of a larger program 1t
pays the city and the citizens quick
er return than any other form of civic
improvement.

During the past five years the III
