EVEN CURTIS RETAINED MINORITY CHAIRMAN

The administration of o. r, Cur tis has been held up as one which did sundry things that the present majority party in the Common Council would like to perform, In justice 10 the ex-mayor it must be sad that references to his admins traitor had nothing to do with coun- ci'manic committees, but with city departments and commissions, Tn the words Of the ez-mayor who while in reminiscent mood found voice to discuss the gooI old days when he bossed the commis- sions, told 'em where 10 head in at and how many dollars to spend and how many cents to save, and al- lowed no tomtoolery by the Demo- crats-or the Republicans, either,
 But there was one thing that Mir. Curtis didn't do--no didn't bchcad, guillotne, hang CT shoot all the Democratic chairmen or council manic committees, He lad more sense than to do such a thing.
 "Tnere was more than oue D-m- ocrauc chairman ot councilmanic committees during my administra- tion." he sail during q coHversa- ton with the Herald. Needn't take my word for #. look ID the records,' But tha, wasn't necessary.

 Washington. May 1.--Everybody praised President Coolidgc's econ omy program until he really began to economics. Then the yelp went up immediately that he was hurting business.
 It went up soonest, and still is loudest. in Washington, because erasing names from the govern ment pay roll honestly does put a crimp into local trade. Every time 1 a public servant loses his job, Wash { ington merchants lose customer 1 Whats more, even those who aren't . fired are afraid they're going to be- so all of them are hanging onto every cent they can.
 Inasmuch as about half Washing tons population consists of federal employees, this counts.
 1 Most of the dc-jobbed govern mcnt toilcrs leave for their resp"c- tive home towns directly after dis missal. They have to get back where they're acquainted, to look for work Generally they probably are better off for being driven out into the cold world of private aCtiv- | ity which, if moro strenuous, also averages better pay than the goVorn- ments, Few of them look al it thus, however The way thcy tell it, they're victims of q perfect hys- teria of penny -pinching. They 1 simply were Indispensable in Wash | ington, too. Others might have been spared, but without themselves , tho government will go smash | That's the version Of those whom presidential economy has Topped off l Tn" unfortunates have their friends all over the land. These friends sympathizo with them and howl also. Sounds Of wailing reach the White House from every direction, from nearby and from afar Go easy" is the burden of 1 the cry. "Thrift's a good thing"' ! Moaning when it doesn't hit "us. D But dont let t degenerate into parsimony!" (Which is what thrift is called when it docs hit 'us.")
 Not only is a wcodng out Of ln- diyiduals q good thing. but whole bureaus and departments ought 10 be abolished. President Coolidge knew it would be painful and said SO, but he shows signs of going through 10 the bitter end. II will save money, promote efficiency and end a lot of governmental poking, by officials who haven't anything else 10 do.
