Argus Leader-It is said of a GER

a Christmas gift to his young son, that
after much elaboration he wrote him
a message in which he agreed to give
him one hour each day and two hours

the son himself willed.
Had the father given his son a large
check, the boy might have been better
pleased and the father would have

BRITISH ACCEPT TERMS

Bradstreet's-Easily the most impOr-
and economic point of view was the
decision Of the British Cabinet to ac-
cept the terms suggested by the Ameri-
can Debt R%efunding Commission for
the payment Of Great Britain's war
debt to the United States. The an
nouncement made regarding the mat
ter was brief, no details being gone
into, but the general terms have been
disclosed in advices from Washing
ton. Speaking generally the terms in
clude the payment of interest on the
debt at the rate Of 3 per cent for ten
years. and thereafter at the rate of
3h per cent for fifty-twO years. As
was natural in the case of a transaC-
ton of such Importance, the proposed
settlement was the subject of cOnsid-
cradle discussion both in the British
Cabinet and among the people outside,
and there were some who thought it
advisable TO try for a modification Of
the terms in new negotiations. The
Chancellor OF the E~NCneQueT, however,
seemed convinced from the outset that
the terms were the best that could be
obtained, and he succeeded in bring
ing his colleagues around to his point
of view, being powerfully aided by the
desire Of the financial and commercial
elements in the community for the re
moval of uncertainty as to the coun-
try's position. 1t now remains for
Congress to amend the debt r~efunding
law so as to enable the negotiatOrs to
complete in all it's details an adjust
ment which cannot fail to have a
steadying and stabilizing influence far
beyond the boundaries Of the two
countries.

BAN JOYRIDING

HurOnite-Senator Erskine has in
troduced a bill providing for a state
garage, or storage place for state own
ed automobiles, remarks the Pierre
Capital Journal. This measure is cal
culated to provide a place where this
class of property can be kept under
the supervision of the custodian Of the
state capitol and cars are to be re
Questioned the same as other sup
plies for use in state business. This
would mean that no particular de
partment would be the sole owner or
manager Of an automobile. 1t would
mean that cars could not be used for
private purposes, such as going to or
returning from work in the capitol
building, for pleasure trips over the
state or to other states, for use for
hunting trips or for children to have
the privilege Of driving them for JOY
rides. This is a real object Of effic-
iency."
Probably no one is better situated
to observe this extravaganza among
state office holders than the Pierre
paper, but many persons know of iSO-
lated cases. The Erskine proposals
certainly sound practical and sane, and
will receive support generally. In ad-
dition to the State garage, it would
not be a bad idec to talk about a state
repair shCI O., If that is not practical,
it would undoubtedly be wise to get
bid. on mechanical work on state
cars. just as the state requires bids on
its public printing. If the bidding on
cars were anything like that on the
printing. the state could look not only
for a saving but for a neat profit from
that department.

roads are very heavy. n line, the
| Illinois Central, has ordered $4,000
tons Of rails and 1000 %gOndolas. With

600 cars and 100 locomotives. Other

that transportation facilities are to be

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

The individual citizens responsible
ity for good government is a prime
subject worthy of discussion. The
Rotary club organization has allied for
an expression Of opinion from each
department Of II national govern
ment on this subject and their replies
are most interesting.
President Warren G.. Harding says,
The individual citizens responsibility
for executive government begins with
the selection of the executive. This
implies the duty of every voter to
vote; a duty that many millions fail
to perform. Before that, 1t implies
the duty to vote intelligently. Finally
the executive being duly selected, it
implies the obligation to give him the
support of all good citizens in every
effort Of administration Of the law.
That citizen who regards himself as
a model Of the civic prOprieties, be-
cause his present conduct is impec-
cable; but who does not cooperate
with the civil authorities or exert his
influence in behalf of the best pos
sible administration of the laws, great
ly overrates his own usefulness as a
citizen"
+. II. Gillett, speaker of the house OF
representatives, The individual citi-
zen's responsibility for Legislation is
mainly indirect. We are not a demOC-
racy; we are a republic. We elect rep
resentatives to legislate for us. Don't
assume that all legislation which
seems to favor your special interest
must be right, or must be permanently
beneficial to you. Because you run an
automobile don't think every scheme
for good roads is wise. Because you
believe education is of prime impor
lance don't conclude that every mea
sure which it's friends suggest is jude
ious. Try to look on all sides. When
keenly conscious that wrongs exist il
is natural to support the first plaus
ible project for righting them. Don't
let your discomfort lead you to follow
blindly the first man who promises
panacea. Therefore, your responsible
ity as an individual requires you tC
select well your representative and tC
study the problems of legislation
Choose him wisely, advise him freely
and hen trust him until misled."
II. ii. Dougherty, attorney general
from the judicial viewpoint says, The
individual citizens first duty is to re.
spect and obey the laws of his coun
try himself. If every citizen did that,
then every citizen would appear TO
have done his full duty and his re-
sponsibility for the administration of
justice might be considered ended.
There would be little need for law
courts. Every American owes it to
his country, himself and his fellow
citizens, TO make it known that he
pledges himself to uphold the law and
all those officials who have been law
fully chosen TO administer IT,"
