A "DUD" EXPOSED

Amid all the criticism of the re-
ports, attributed to our ambassador
to Great Britain respecting the
failure of the League Of Nations at
Geneva to conform to the spirit of
the pact made several months ago at
Locarno, there appears no we'll
substantiated denial that the truth
in this way was told. Criticism of
the manner Of telling, unofficially,
may be pertinent, but the fact re-
mains that under existing conditions
this appears to have been the only
method warranted. And so the pub
lie learns the truth, which otherwise
might not have been revealed.
That it was the truth is being ad-
mitted by the English press except
TOR the suggestion that the European
leaders have learned nothing from
the war and do not want American
cooperation. The method of unof-
hcial utterance is criticized as no
textual evidence is afforded as to
Just what was said. Nevertheless
the preponderant accuracy of the
criticism attributed to Ambassador
Houghton Is not denied, and the
justice of it is recognized. In view
OF this 1t is clear that Pat Harrison's
attempt to make an issue out of the
matter was a "dud."

Finally-Whither?

(BOStOn News Buredu)
The time is coming when everybody
will be working for Uncle Sam. Some
day the entire nation will be on the
nations payroll. Absurd? Not so rid
iculous as it may seem. Payroll pop
ulation is going up faster than ma
tional population is increasing and if
these trends continue-and no tokens
are in sight of any change of direction
or slowing of pace-the time must
come when the faster-growing popu-
lation will overtake the slower grow
ing population, and the two will be-
come identical. We are on the way to
that terminus.
In 1913 the total number of persons
directly on the payrolls of the United
States, the several states and the Dis
trict of Columbia, and the local units
of government, not counting those en-
gagged in contract work. was 1,7S5.009
In 1918 that total had scared to a war
time peak of 5.129, 900; in 1921 it had
been reduced to 2,7S6,000: in 1928 it
had been further debated to 1900, 900:
and in 1924 1t had started upward
again and the total stood at $500, 900
This is an increase of 500 since 1913.
Has the population grown at any such
rate?
Consider the payroll charges. In
1913 the total of wages and salaries
for these employees was $1,571 ,00O,-
900; at the peak in 1919 1t reached
1881, 100000: in 1923, the latest year
for which figures may be had, the to-
tai was s3,500,000.000. Numbers on
the payroll had increased 500, the
sums paid these employees had in
creased more than 1907. Xxx
Startling deductions are easily made
from these facts. Total annual charge

As the Yellow Dog Tramp trotted
down the street, after having mended
dear Uncle Lucky's broken chimney,
as I mentioned in the story before
this, all of q sudden the telephone
went
Tinkerly, tinkerly. tink. tink. tink!
Quick as a sunbeam through a chink!
and Lady Loves voice called over the
wire;
"The kitchen fire has all gone out;
There isn't a stick of wood about"
"Cheer up, little lady," answered
nice Uncle Lucky, "Pll drive right
down to the coal yard" and turning
to his small bunny nephew, he told
him to put on his hat and come along.
Although 1t was the last of March,
the wind was chilly and dirty little
patches of snow still fingered in the
shady hollows and along the Old
Stone Fence. But it was such clear,
cool weather that Old Man Rheuma-
tism never bothered dear Uncle
Luckys little pinky toe. In fact.
he felt so frisky that he suddenly
stopped the Luckymobile and hoped
out to see who was singing in q little
bush close by.
"Chick- dee. chick-a-dee,
You're as happy as can be.
So am I. What do / care
If the earth is chill and bare.
In my feather coat and cap
I can stand the coolest snap"
sang Charlie Chick-a-dee, that merry
little bird.
80 can we," answered Uncle
Lucky. I'VE haven't a stick of wood,
nor lump of coal. nor drop of
kerosene, but we'll manage to keep
warm If get to the coal yard" and
with a wink at the cheerful bird. the
old gentleman rabbit hoped back in
to his famous car and started off
again.
Pretty soon, not so very far, some
one called out;
please stop a minute. My fires gone
out,
And there isn't a stick of wood
about"
and Old Grandmother Goose tapped
her wings from her tiny front porch.
I'm on my way to the coal yard"
shouted Uncle Lucky. I'll try to bring
you back a scuttle of coal" and on
he went. But, dearest NE! He had
hardly left her little green house

for public charges was about one
twelfth the national income in 1924,
1t was nearly half the amount paid in
wages and more than third of the
total paid in salaries by all manufac-
turing plants in the country in 1923.
Every group of 10 persons gainfully
employed outside the government is
supporting one person on the public
payroll. including public charges in

Reclamation of Used Newsprint
(The Public Ledger)

Reclamation of used. newsprint
paper has been one of the subjects
of research by chemists and physi-
cists for many years. The ink has
been the obstacle to success hitherto.
no process having been devised for
it's complete removal and the res
toration of the paper pulp to a con-
dition where it could be made over
into 'newsprint paper. A Cornell
chemist says he has found the solu-
ton for the problem, with cleansing
agents that not only remove the
printers ink but leave the recovered
paper material as strong as ever and
capable of being used over again. Ii
this discovery shall be found eco
nomically practical, it's results will
be far-reaching. 1t should go a long
way toward meeting the difficulties
arising from the exhaustion of the
spruce forests in the United States
and the possibilities of an embargo
upon the product of the Canadian
paper and pulp mills.

REGARDING HIGHWAY SAFETY

There assembled in Washington
this week in response to the call or
Secretary Hoover for National
Conference on Street and Highway
Safety some 1900 representatives Of
various public and private organiza-
tions or affiliations in this country.
Included in these are "A State dele
cations. Great diversity of interests
are represented, automobile. railway,
insurance, trade organizations. gov
eminent officials, safety councils.
chambers of commerce being among
them.
This is co-ordinated effort on a
large scale, BETTING a large country.
Large advantages in the way Of edu-
Gated public opinion ought to result
and If it may serve to inspire use of
facilities already existing, though
neglected, the measure of the In
fluence of. this conference will be
greatly enhanced. Indeed the chief
benefits to accrue might so be had.
To illustrate. there Is the recent
survey by cities, 1856 of them. which
disclosed that third Of the 14,500
persons arrested for driving automo-
biles while intoxicated were released
without punishment and only one per
cent were jailed, Notwithstanding 1t
is generally conceded that the only
effective penalty against driving
while intoxicated is jail sentence.
Evidently there is work at home
awaiting the return of the delega-
lions to the National Conference on
Highway Safety at Washington.
The sooner they get at it the better
for all concerned. 1t is to be hoped
their wisdom will be so directed,
their responsibility be more clearly
perceived. We hope they will not re-
fer the matter to commission or
undertake another survey until
they have cleaned up from the first.

TIME TO INQUIRE

/. When 1t is possible for the public
to make use of private enterprise to
do that formerly done by the Gov
eminent and do it more cheaply 1t
would seem to be about time for
searching inquiry. The reports in
dictate that something like this has
been going on under the manage
ment Of our postal facilities over a
considerable period. The Govern
ment Is in a position to arrogate to
itself. and does so, certain Of the
work Of mail distribution. In return
for this 1t comes under obligation to
render better service than might be
secured through the medium of
private enterprise. Is 1t meeting
this obligation as it should?
The recent report of the Post
master General to the Senate March
- Is not, to say the least, assuring
that the Government is meeting that
very important obligation as 1t
should. The Senate called for a
comparison between the postal re-
ceipts by classes for the last six
months Of 1925 and those for a like
period Of the year 1924. This re-

on account Of the absurd require

these the users Of private mailing
cards, which they were furnishing
and printing, found that they could
buy the regular Government furnish
ed cards and send them in the mails
for half the postage required on the
private cards, which they had been
furnishing and printing.
Anyone wishing to send a news
paper through the mails found that
he was being charged an exorbitant

to cut out a page and send by let

Department estimated an increase of
there has been an actual decrease
in revenue of more than $S50,000.
1t certainly looks as though much
dependence could not be placed In
should there be? To attempt to esti-
mate the cost of the distribution of
second class mail. for instance, is an
impossibility for the finite mind. To
do so in the case of parcel post en-
counters fewer difficulties but the
estimate last made proves to be very
faulty.
1t is being very clearly demon
strated that the effort to shoulder
on newspaper mail the burden of
making the postal service self-sus-
tanning Is futile as well as mis-
chievous. Other ways for distribu-
ton outside the mails have in many
instances been found. while the up
keep of the Government service has
remained the same or higher. This.
because newspaper rates were in
creased from 1918 to 1922 more than
500 per cent.
