GOVERN ENT LIVING
WITHIN ITS INCOME
And In Addition Piles Up a Surplus
of Two Hundred Millions In
the Past Year.

Washington.-The government has
accomplished the task OF living within
it's income within the past twelve
months and has accumulated a sur
plus of 5000, 900. 90 in addition, Pres
ident Harding said in a speech at a
meeting Of department heads and
bureau and division chiefs, constitu-
ting the governments business
organization" Further reductions,
he said, would be made in expendi-
lures in the coming year.
The record, the president said, is
the more important since the fiscal
year was inaugurated July /, with a
deficit confronting the treasury or
1923, 900 900. To this signal achieve
ment," Mr.. Harding declared, should
be added the fact hat in addition to
wiping out the deficit and accumulate
cheney and economy has resulted in
actual expenditures of the government
being cut 1856, 000, 900 in the last
twelve months below the ordinary
expenditures for the year ending last
June so.
Mr.. Harding called attention to
conditions when the first meeting OF
the business organization" was held
two years ago this month and de-
clared that he regarded that meeting
as an epoch in the administration OF
government business" What had
been done since in the way OF econ
omy and efficiency, the president said,
was commendable, but he warned the
assembled executives that they faced
another yea when tasks as difficult
and problems as acute awaited solu-
ton if the governments policy OF con-
Quoting affairs economically and eff
ficiently was to be realized.
"In a few days" the president said,
I'VE another fiscal year,
and | feel confident that at it's close
we will be able to point to even great
er achievements in u campaign for
retrenchment, economy and efficiency
than has been accomplished this cur
rent year. The appropriations for the
coming fiscal year amount in round
figures to 5000. 900, 600, which is
1924, 600, 900 less than the apprOpria-
tions for the current fiscal year. AS
compared with the estimate presented
to congress, the appropriations for
1924 are but $7,S25, 600 less than the
amount asked for in the budget and
the estimate supplemental thereto"

WORLD COURT PLEA is
RENEWED BY PRESIDENT
Says II Is The Only Existing Peace
to Which the United States
Can Subscribe.

st. Louis, NONRESIDENT Harding
placed before the country a renewed
plea for American adherence to the
permanent court of international
justice las the one and only existing
peace to which we can safely sub
scribe without violating the basic
principles of our national being"
Making the first prepared address
of his western trip the president said
that to bring the end he desired he
would gladly wipe out factional differ
ences" and proposed a reconstruction
of the machinery OF the international
tribunal ito dispose OF any influence
whatsoever, either open or f~urtive, by
the league OF nations or by any other
organization"
This could be done in one Of two
ways" he asserted, first, by empow-
ering the court itself to fill any va
cancies arising from the death of a
member or retirement for whatever
cause, without interposing from any
other body; or second, by continuing
the existing authority of the perma-
nent court of arbitration to nominate
and by transferring the power to elect
from the council and assembly Of the
league to the remaining members Of
the court of Justice"
Then anticipating 1.-The voice Of the
doubter" who might inquire whether
the nations now represented On the
aA,,as ,,a,rII nn,nnnnt 70 thnon oh " nnc
in the structure of the tribunal, Mr..
Harding answered that Ito submit
terms which we consider essential TO
the preservation of our nationality is
not an act OF discourtesy; 1t is the
only fair, square and honorable thing
a great, self respecting nation a do"
The crux OF the condition suggested
the president described as "the max
ing Of the world court precisely what
its name implies
Can it be possible that, despite
their protestations to the contrary,
this is not what some Of our sister
sister states at heart desired?" he
asked. Must there be a test OF sin
certify abroad as we'll as at home?
Then the more quickly it be made the
better for them and the better for US.
There Is nothing to be accomplished
in ambiguity. We want to know. And
the OILY way to find out is to in
Quire."
The president devoted virtually all
Of his address to the world court
issue, but he also reviewed briefly
what had been done by his admin
stration to get the country back on
the right track" in its domestic
affairs. Although declaring he did
not come to make a PARTISAN re-
port he said he took pride in point
ing out that unemployment had been
banished, financial stability restored,
taxes lightened and great economies
effected in government"

Let the Farmer Watch His Step

The announcement of the Federal Farm Loan Board that
$12 100000 is now available for farm loans under the new agr-
cultural credit law, and at interest which while high is heavenly
compared with existing rates, will put heart into many a man
who for years has been struggling under the burden of imam
cal oppression; but it is hoped the tempting bait will not be
swallowed to the point of saturation.
The new system will have the effect of reducing interest
charges in some states from 10 per cent, to 7 per cent, or per-
haps less. This sounds as cymbals h~eralding approach to the
promised land, but it should not be forgotten that in many
states interest on private loans in excess of six per cent is
considered usury, and the lenders are punishable under the
statutes. However, there appears to be one law for the COM
mercial business man and another for the farmer. >
The law has inferentially acknowledged that commercial
money cannot thrive on a seven per cent interest rate, and Whlle
the relief of the farmer will be appreciated, it will be found
mighty hard scraping for the farmer to get adequate reward
for his labor at this lowered rate. Danger lies in the likelihood
that the farmer, SO long used to extortion, will over-borrow at
the new rate, and will be disposed to seek temporary ease IN
finance, not realizing that the mills of Wall Street, like the
mills of the gods, grind slowly but they grind exceeding small
and that the day of settlement is as certain as the day OF Judg-
ment. The farmer may obtain money at 52 per cent when
borrowing through a cooperative marketing association, but
here again the overhead steps in and the additional charges foot
up to a sum that still must make the tiller of the soil bend to
the burden.
