LEGION PLANS
!. TO TAKE CARE
I. MANY KIDDIES

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 28.-How
ito care for from 250,000 to 100000
orphans Of the world war is the
problem the American Legion will
consider at it's national convention
in San Francisco, October 1919.
Tentative plans for this project,
which experts believe will be as diff
ficult as that of relief for disabled
veterans were considered at a re-
cent meeting of the legion's war
orphans committee in Indianapolis.
The committee will recommend
the building of a number of nation
al homes in various parts of the
country for dependent children Of
legion members and service men
not members of the legion who died
before May l, 1919.
In addition to the national homes
a supplementary system will be in
augurated whereby dependent child
rem can be placed with foster par
ents, after careful investigation.
Isl The committee will ask the ma
tional gathering for authority to
accept gifts of suitable buildings,
money and sites. A number of
offers have already been made to
.ithe legion of land and money.
\ Among them is 3S8 acres of land
.,and $125,000 offered by Dan Dab
ney of Independence, Kan, and the
Kansas department of the legion.
Another offer has come from George
L. Berry, president of the Interna-
tional Printing Pressman Union,
former national vice-commander of
the legion, who has asked the or
ganization to accept 200 acres of
Tennessee land, valued at $4,000.

Has the Worlds Best Joke Been Sprung

If it should turn out that Henry Ford is the chief figure
to stand behind the offer of S., 000,0 600 for the Shipping
Board Fleet, and there. are vague limitations that the Detroit
man has at least had a finger in the pie, the setting of the offer
aside as one scarcely worthy of consideration would prove a
joke of such colossal proportion in its humor it is doubtful if
the administration ever would recover from it. The name of
Lasker would not retire with any million dollar JOY ride. 1t
will live for ages in history.
Mr.. Laskers calm assumption that the bid was open to sus-
picion because it offered several times what the government
itself believed the fleet to be worth, was met by Mr.. Stacks
reply that the price set was not based on the theory of gouging
the government but fixed by Americans in consideration of the
price the government paid for the ships. This gentle rebuke Of
Mr.. Lasker's intimation that the American business mans
idealistic patriotism is not to be found, passed without much
notice, but it was pointed to a degree. 6
a, Mr.. Slack may now be counted as another recruit to the
ranks Of those who sense the extreme difficulty of being honest,
the grave danger of being generous, and the utter impossibiity
of telling the truth without social and financial suffering. 1t
is not at all difficult for the pork barrel brigade to extract a
few millions from the national treasury, but if any man dare
try to put money into the treasury he becomes the object of
suspicion and finds the tasks next to, if not, quite impossible.

. Lesson From the National Budget

After many months of speculation as to the financial out
come of government operations for the current fiscal year,
it is now certain that the Federal expenditure will come within
the Federal revenues and leave a balance on hand, all due to
the budget system which up to date has proved itself we'll worth
while for the public purse, regardless Of the political complexion
of government.
General Lord, Director of the Budget, gives the figure of
$50, 100000 as his estimate of the balance that will be left on
hand subject, Of course, to possible developments that may occur
within the next two weeks which may upset calculations.
Bringing the lesson home, the figures show that the Federal
Government is the only form of government in the United-States
that is showing "a reduction in its financial levies and eXpendi-
lures. The cost of government in the states, in the counties, in
the towns and in the village is constantly rising.
The proportionate increase in government cost in the small
communities is startling. The actual additional outlay in tax
alton may appear small to the individual, but in the aggregate
it is found that the nation for some time has been on a wild
spending spree. 1t is the aggregate condition that affects trade.
Many villages where local improvements have forced up tax
alton or bonded Indebtedness will soon begin to feel the effect
in decreased real estate operations. Sooner or later home buyers
will avoid the interpretations where taxes are high and seek to
build on the outskirts of the interpretations to escape tax.

ARIZONA - THE OUTCAST

We believe the big mining companies of Ar1-
zona through the resident managers, are very
much interested in bettering local conditions
where their properties are located. However,
we are constrained to believe that in spite of this
local interest the vast wealth they are taking
from the resources of Arizona do not fit in with
a reasonable return to those who live in Arizona,
hope for the development of Arizona, and are
stalking their all on the prosperity of the state.
Arizona has been extremely liberal in its laws
on taxation for the vast wealth these corpora
tions have taken away. 1t is well that these cor
porations should be prosperous but in view of
laws Of other states, Arizona has not received a
just share of the returns which came from her
earth-and the earth is the heart of Arizona.
In the past few thousand judiciously expend-
ed, has counteracted a full investigation of what
should be Arizona'S full share of taxation; eX-
perts can show figures and twist them to suit,
but there are few people who yet feel that the
untold millions should not leave the state untax-
ed, while the home-builder, the homesteader and
the men who love and live in Arizona, pay the
freight The Sun has no ak to grind but does
hope to show what other states are doing along
the line of mine taxation during the next few
months, in hopes that Arizona may eceive some
of the benefits from her heart-the earth.
Actual facts and actual conditions will not
hurt all concerned and if politics enter into it,
the plain common folks who live in Arizona will
be able to Judge for themselves.

APPRECIATION APPRECIATED

Newspapers are accustomed to give freely OF
their space to every public project that comes
along, irrespective of it's actual news value, and
it is second nature for a newspaper man to lend
the support of his columns to any struggling In
stitution that may be helped by judiciously ap-
piled publicity.
But it is exceedingly seldom that this work is
appreciated by its beneficiaries, and still more is
it for such appreciation to be expressed. There
fore it is the more gratifying when a minister
signifies his sense of obligation in the matter.
Most people labor under the delusion that they
are doing the newspaper valuable service when
they condeScend to submit matter for publica-
ton, and do not realize that every line of type
printed costs good hard money, and is justified
only by the value of the idea it expresses This
value may be in the form of an advertisement
for which the advertiser pays, or else IN the form
of news for which the subscriber pays. Matter
which is not paid advertising and which is not OF
news or editorial interest is wasted space
At recent meeting in Phoenix, Arizona pub
Gshers decided to place ban on propaganda
matter which has become the greatest pest IN the
business. Every movement that is started,
whether it has news value or not promptly calls
on the papers for support and gets peevlsh II the
columns of the press are not thrown open to
it. Reformers are the worst offenders in this
respect and every long-haired man and short
haired woman in the country who thinks OF
new way to censor the public morals comes trip
ping into the newspaper office and calls it's edi-
tor a servant of the devil if he fails to wax en-
thusiastic over the proposition.
However, it is worth all these troubles and un-
pleasantness to find once in a while, as we dc
find someone who appreciates the service which
the newspaper is able to give and which tits glad
to give to every worthy cause and to every
worthwhile eobject.-Douglas Dispatch.
