Cost of Government.
(Cordova Times. ]

People who demanding, and rightly, reduc- ton in public expenditures and lowering of taxes. ought not in their meditations to overlook very important truth. and that is that the govern mcnt they have the greater will it's be- The great expansion of government activities began about quarter of century ago. and it has gone steadily forward until today governments national state, and municipal, performing tasks which one would in tho beginning ever dream of assigning to them Public payrolls have grown enormously and they still growing A few days ago Representa- tive Rainey said, in address before a farmers meeting in Illinois that every persons in the United States engaged in productive labor have on their shoulders at least person who is supported entirely by taxes. We hay emutiped inspectors, supervisors, special agents divisions and bureaus to an alarmng-and very burdensome-extent.
 The people might well make up their minds that they not have paternal benevolent, phil nnthropic interfering, meddling regulating govern ment which shall at the time be economical We taking the Government of business which it should never have entered. If the people could be made to realize all this, the so-caled reformers and progressives who besiege Congress the State Legislatures demanding of regulation and control would find the going much harder than it is
 There could be greater reform than the re- storation of our Government something like nor maley. The result would be good in every way. There would follow lessening of cost reduction of taxes, increased efficiency, and much more self reliant spirit in the people. No reform that is sug- gested today begins to compare value and import ance with the reform that would bring such things to pass. It used to be axiom that the government which governs least governs best Now the idea seems to be'that the more government does and the more il costs the better it is.

ENGLAND, LIKE AMERICA, POLITICALLY
 RESTLESS.

That Premier A. Bonar Law will retire before long from the hcadship of the British Government seems be generally accepted and that with the retirement there may shortly be general election and change in the political alignment of the Gov crnment seems probable. Premier Laws health is admittedly precarious and the political health of the Conservative Party does much, if any, better The by-elections have been going steadily against the Government for the last several months. Three members of the Cabinet were defeated in many elections in week in March.
 There seems good reason to believe that if the old Liberal Party were reunited. if Lloyd George and Asquth were again working. in harmony, there would shortly be a change in the party control.
 The situation in Great Britain, like that on the Continent and like that In America continues rest less It has been little than year since the Conservatives achieved a tremendous majority at a general election in Great Britain, and already the country apparently is pining for change. In five years the American people have Wilson reach the of popularity and the depths of defeat The Democratic Party from proud position as the controlling political panty during victorious dire disaster This followed by a victory fer the Republican Party unprecedented in it's hreC years of history and in two years time we have suspicion and dissatisfaction knawing al the vitals of the great organization of 1920.
 Under the circumstances it to marve the length of time Llcyd George held sway 1T Great Britain It is nc wonder that writers the situation in that country again beginning to sug gest that people keep their eyes the little Welsh man. There a feeling over the water that he may be called upon again at distant day assume leadership of Liberal Party Government.

SWEEPING CHANGES IN SALARY LIST.

The abolition of all statutory salaries in the Federal Civil Service by the reclassfcaton act of March puts the next years salary rates of some 000 Government employees largely into the hands of the Personnel Classification Board which was created by that act. Complete revision of the salary scale is provided for net only affecting the de- partmental services at Washington but field services well. including customs and immigration services, steamboat inspection, lighthouse public health, penal institutions, forest fisheries, reclamation, public lands, Indian schools animal industry, plant industry. weather bureau, hints, ordnance, quartermaster de- partments the eustodial seTyiceln ac every branch of the Government service in every state with the exception only of the Postal Service which has been reclassifed and the skilled trades.
 This sweeping change in the Governments en- ployment policy, it is pointed out by the National Federation of Federal Employees, gives incalculable importance to the announced policy of the Personnel Classification Board to welcome suggestions from off cias employees and the public in the working out of the salary scales which to form the basis of the next years budget estimates for Congress.

"The Americans Creed"
Cincinnati Enquirer

In these days of the highly commendable return to the teaching of the forgotten principles of American Government it is gratifying to encount CT a credo or belief, written by woman which seems to sum up a complete declaration of patriotism and compendium of the duties of citizenship
 It was written by nun who teaches in a parochial school at Ottawa, Ohio and is recited by her class every morning of the week The text of the Americans Creed" follows:
 Il believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people for the peo- pie, whose just powers derived from the consen of the governed; democracy in republic; a soy- ereign nation of many sovereign states: a perfact union, one and inseparable established upon those principles of freedom, equality justice and humanity TOT Whlch American patriots sacrfed their lives and fortunes.
 l. therefore, believe it is my duty to my country to obey it's laws to respect it's flag and to defend it against all enemies"

FOUL SHOOTING
BY AMbOY IS LARGELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS

The worlds champion Original
Celtics invaded this city last night
and after meeting stiff resistance In
the first half of their tusse; with
the Perth Amboy Five on the New
Auditorium court. trampled down
ell opposition in a ruthless manner
and departed with the scalps of the
local representatives dangling from
their belts by a 20 to Is scere.
The going during the first stanza
was nip and tuck, the lead changing
hands several times during this ses-
sion. At n time during the first
canto the Auditorium courtsters led
by a three point margin and after
losing the lead, regained same to
lead by two points again. When
hostilities were terminated at the
half time the Celtics were in the a
by a ID to IL score.
Poor foul shooting by the entire
local outfit in the second nalf abb
solutely knocked the Amboy quin-
tet out of the running for the bal
hnce of the game and gave the
ehamps the game by a fourteen point
margin. Out of ten fouls called on
the visiting team in this session the
locals could only register one coun-
ter, while Captain Hank Thomas
scored the only field goal credited to
the local netnlen this stanza.
The Celtic combination scored six
Aouble-deckers and seventeen fouls
out Of twenty-eight chances given

LOCAL GIRLS
At RED BANK
Crimson and White Bas-
keteers Will Endeavor to
Break R. Bank Streak
Ii. S. Correspondent

With u record of three wins and
three losses, the Crimson and White
girls aggregation will travel this
afternoon to Red Bank and try to
break the winning streak of the
home team. A win for the Amboy-
ans would considerably boost the
stock of the local seXtet.
When the Monmouth county team
visited here several weeks ago, they
conquered the hoInesters' by a one
point margin. AT that time the local
girls were without the services of
their star forward, Miss Helen
Schultz, and her field goal shooting
was sorely missed. It was the gem
eral opinion that had she performed
the result would have been different.
In the Asbury Park game the
local girls showed a complete re-
versal of form and, is d result, cas-
lily won. All week Coach Miss
Kirkpatrick has been drilling her
proteges, and ii the work shown in
nartcice is to be taken as a criterion,
it would not be surprising to see the
Anboyans return with the bacon to-
night.
The probable lineup will consist
OF Schultz and Hoy, forwards; Req
enshak and Bartha. centers, and
Captain Bjork and Kutcher, guards.

There is great interest centered on
the home game as the team from
the brainy borough gave the locals
a scare at their home bailiwick,
the visitors coming out ahead by a
scant seven point margin. re the
Amboy miracles" perform today as
they did Monday the locals winning
streak should be broken by the
weak up-county five. From watch
ing the Middlesex boys in action at
Railway m wonders how the State
~streeters ever won so many games in
a row
The Crimson machine seems to lie
in a lurch at present. In the last
two games they have given a mighty
sorry exhibition of basketball. The
forwards are off form, while the
guards seem to have forgotten how
to play their positions. The thing
which the coach has tried to pre-
vent is now creeping up and is no.
ticeable at the games. The harm
