JAILED DOING DUTY.

Governments officials who have the
good faith of this our country at
heart are Offering both fluctuations
and congratulations to Adjutant Cen
eral Peter C. Harris, custodian of
the draft records of the selective
service. General Harris was sem
fenced to ten days in jail for contempt
of court by Justice Frederick l.. Sid
dons of the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia for his fiat refusal
to divulge certain information in the
records which was desired in a di-
vorc suit. General Harris appealed
the case, and the appellate court de-
cided that Justice Siddons erred and
that General Harris had but done his
duty in upholding the draft laws,
which hold all information secured
in the draft proceedings inviolate.
The service men kept faith with
Uncle SAINT is inspiring to find

eral Harris, keeping faith with them.

A SIMPLIF4ED TAX RETURN.

Those persons having incomes OF
$4,000 or less will find the task of
making out their income tax returns
this year an easy task rather than
the distracting enigma it has proved
to many in the past. Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon has had the re-
turn forms entirely rearranged and
simplified so that the taxpayer can
see at a glance what information he
must record for the benefit of the
collector. Only exact facts covering
income, deductions, and computation
of tax are to be put on page 1 of the
return, while page 2 is devoted ia
such subsidiary questions as citizen
ship, residence, address, and explana-
tions. 1t is stated that 80 per cent
of the taxpayes will be benefited by
the new form, and it is confidently
predicted at the treasury that they
will be greatlyp leased by it's APPEAR
ance.

AMERICA NOT A SANTA CLAUS.

interest the United States is inter

preclated currency, international
debts, balanced national budgets.
economies in ornaments, freer trade
all these matters affect the well
being of the corn and wheat and cat
tie and cotton farmer, as well as of
the American manufacturer.
Yet it is questionable whether such
a conference should be called by the
United States as has been proposed
IN congress. There are several coun-
tries that would regard such a move
as an indication that America is ready
TO play Santa Claus. That would be
demoralizing. The world needs to
get down to brass tacks. Tt cannot
be saved by philanthropy.
Europe needs radical remedies. But
it is primarily Europe's problem. 1t
would be well to wait and see what
Europeans have to offer, what sacri-
fIces they r wiling to make, and
q to consider what America can
do.-Kansas Ctr Star.

REDUCING FEDERAL
employees ECONOMY

President Harding has set out to
reduce the number of government IN
ployes by the thousands in the inter-
est of the economy he promised dur
ing the campaign. At an average of
1000 a year, $50 900 names dropped
from the payroll, as now planned,
would amount to a saving of $780,
100000; at an annual average of
$1,000 the saving would be 1925, 000,-
600 a year. This sum is sufficient to
meet the interest charge on $5,OO0,-
100000 of Liberty bonds, and it is
as much as the government would
save out of the scrapping of capital
ships.
Upon first thought it may seem a
little hard to believe that SO MANY
employees could be dropped without
seriously impairing efficiency in the
public service, but the facts clear ND
any misgfving on that point. In
Washington alone there are still
about double the number of govern
ment employees there were in 1916.
while in the whole country the num-
Der is 100000, as against 44O, 900 be-
fore the Back to pre-war con-
ditions, the government can get along
as well as ever without carrying the
wartime load, allowing of course, for
some increase in employees due to in
evltable and common sense expansion.
Hammering away at waste and top,
heavy pay rolls, the president has
countered the civil service system un-
der which various departments are
independent from one another. max
ing pay roll reduction especially diff
ficult. So complete reorganization
will come a little slowly.
Even before the wal some depart-
ments at Washington were crowded
with employees who were of little or no
use. If everybody that remains in
the public service is now made to be
useful, there is no danger of striking
at efficiency by getting back pretty
close to pre-war figures. Under the
Harding plan it is proposed that such
employees as are not needed in their
present positions and can not be
shifted to places where they would
serve a useful purpose, will have to
go. Merely applying the rules of
private business to public business.
there is no excuse for overloaded gov
eminent payrolts-Milwaukee SEN

A WISE SELECTION.

Aanson B. Houghton has been ap-

Germany. The selection is an ex-
cellent me-. Houghton is a high

MIR. HoughtOn may be classed as an
authority on German matters. AS a
young man he took postgraduate
courses IN Gottingen, Berlin and
Paris, and he has kept in close touch
with German questions for many
years. He was elected to the Sixty
sixth Congress from the Thirty-sev-
enth New York district, and so much
was his services appreciated that he
was reelected to the Sixty-seventh,
the present Congress, by a majority
of $4,000. Through his new assign
ment the United States loses an ex-
cellent representative In Congress and
gains an Al ambassador to Europe.

PRETTY SOFT FOR A FEW.

Somebody is always bobbing up
with the suggestion that we should
make a present OF the ten billions we
have in war loans over there. Tt is
worth while to recall that the great
private financial interests of this
country have much money invested in
European war loans. Presumably
these private loans are secured, but
whatever their supporting is, prob
ably much of it is of deprecated value
and dependent for its rehabilitation
in worth on the general fiscal rehab-
ilitation of the debtor nations. With
the public loans cancelled, this recov-
cry would be speeded up as a matter
Of course, and the serenity of u
great private financial interests would
improve at the same pace. Every
thing would then be hunkydory for
everybody but the American taxpayer,
and whats ten billions, more o less,
to him? just the same it would be

it only remains to wind up incense

that reflects credit on the admins

failure of certain other minor matters

of that record
