Soldier a Good Risk.

Under favorable conditions Of peace
the mortality among soldiers is the
lowest in any class of men, says the
New York Times. the death rate being
only five in LOCO. The placid days OF
a clergymanV life, compared with that
of soldier are full Of danger: for
proportionately, more than twice as
many clergymen die in the course OF
the year, their rate of mortality being
IL to the 900.

AN AMERICAN HABIT

Coolidge economy must become an
American habit and not mere pass
ing impulse. There are few OPP
timistic spirits who have rather as
sumed by reason of the extraordinary
gains made in the economical and eff
ficient administration of government
al functions, that the tale has been
told and that nothing further remains
to be done. The recent passage of
the tax-bill with the cuts which it
provides in the taxes to be paid by all
the people has given stability to that
impression. The gains made in the
tax reduction have apparently created
in the minds of some congressman the
impression that what was saved
should be spent. AS result a null
titude of bills are before congress
calling for expenditures which com
pletely wipe out all the savings made
by the Coolidge program.
Representative Tilson, of Con-
necticut, House Leader, has already
noted this situation, and has served
notice on his fellow members that the
organization of the House is strongly
opposed to this grab-bag method.
Able as the congressman is, he cam
not do it all. What is now needed is
a new and public assertion of the
desire of the people that the old spirit
of thrift and decent administration be
continued. With reasonable backing

ATTENTION TO MOTORISTS

Minnesota motorists are advisedsby
the State Highway Department to
curb their spring ardor and keep off
the roads as much as possible for at
least week. The roads are soft and
will be cut easily until the moisture
from winter SHOWS and ice has been
absorbed. A large force of patrolmen
and maintenance crews are at work
inspecting the highways throughout
the state and arranging for condition
ing them for the seasons travel which
is expected to be the heaviest in the
history of Minnesota. A saving of
approximately $1,000,000 to taxpay-
ers of the state is estimated if motor
lists keep off the roads this week.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1926-04-14

from the taxpayers, the public ex-
penditure bills will vanish like snow
banks in the sunshine.
The attitude Of the congressman
who have introduced these measures
is based on their feeling that the
people approve of the spending pro-
gram. Once it is made plain to
them that governmental expenditures
for all of these reductions are still
regarded as far too high by the av-
erage taxpayer, they will develop an
equal earnestness in smothering the
measures which they introduced with
the purpose of meeting what they
thought were popular demands. We
must remember that after all the mar
gin between a federal surplus and a
federal deficiency bill is none too
large. -Hennepin County Review.

LEACH MAY LEARN!

Comment concerning Mayor Leach
keynote" at Benson last week ha
been liberal liberal in many respects
Not the least pat nor the least apt i
the editorial appearing in the Min
neapolis Journal of last Thursday ey
aning.
The ambition of Mayor George
E. Leach to be Governor of Min
nesota is laudable and his desire
for service in various ways, as
stated in his keynote" speech at
Benson, does him credit. The
speech betrays some lack of
knowledge of State affairs, how
ever, which no doubt will be made
up as the campaign goes on and
the Minneapolis executive be-
comes more familiar with State
problems.
For instance, Mayor Leach has
been led to believe that it is his
duty to oppose the plan of central
financial control put in effect un-
der Governor Christianson. He
would wipe out everything but a
budget director, eliminating the
mass purchases, the standardiz-
ing of employees, and the "pre-
audit" control over all depart
ment expenditures.
Operation of the system has
brot complaint from some State
employees, but the public gen.
orally seems well satisfied with
the effort to reduce tax burdens.
Isn't it possible that Mayor
Leach has been misled by the
CLAMOR FROM THE TAX
SPENDERS, so that it has
sounded louder in his ears than
the APPROVAL OF THE TAX
PAYERS?
Mayor Leach is quite insistent
on the rights to Independent con-
troll of other elective officials
than the Governor. Yet in the
same address he demands that
the Governor take hold of the
railroad rate question, which is
the exclusive function of other
elective State officers, and comes
out for the principle of the
Dickinson export corporation bill,
which involves a purely Federal
legislative question.
Mayor Leach's lack of informa--
ton and background in State
matters also appears in his
criticism of the sChristianson
school aid veto. He refers to it
as laid to be given according to
the educational rating of the
school," The fact is that all the
aid allotted to schools according
to their educational rating, has
been paid in full. THE APPRO-
PRIATION VETOED WAS FOR
SUPPLEMENTAL AID" TO
DISTRICTS HAVING A HIGH
( TAX LEVY. The so called def
cheney appropriation was made in
face of the fact that the previous
Legislature had already made it
''pro rata" and that the Depart
ment of Education had testified
that there was no deficiency.
Mayor Leach has not been a
student of State questions, as his
speech clearly indicates. Prob
ably the campaign will, at least
serve to give him a broader and
more accurate knowledge"

states as WE'LL
Inc Doctor reminisced a bit be-
tore taking up the subject of his
hoW-home state, Florida. and re-
called the many changes which have
taken place and the advancement
which has been made in Augusta
SINCE MS migration to the south, rs
years ago. He spoke especially of
the new Augusta General HOSPITAL
the idea of which was conceived ard
fostered by DR.. w. H. Harris. DR.. O.
c. S. Davies and himself in 1898
DR.. Randall being City Physician at
that time. The slogan of their en-
deavor was hospital in Kennebec
County built, maintained and con-
Quoted on lines so broad as to make
II possible for every man, woman
and child in the county to receive
treatment, regardless of sect or
creed. Much effort and time were
expended In the furthering Of their
object and the present pretentious
structure has been viewed with
much satisfaction and almost boy
ish pride by the Doctor, who cannot
help but feel a personal interest in
the outcome Of his foresighted vision
of years ago. He remarked ona the
pleasure he experienced in attending
the meeting of the Rotarians, Fri
day evening and smilingly said that
he saw there, many Of his babies
who We're but a day old the last time
he saw them.
In the trip North, the Doctor not
ed the texture of the greenness of
the Maine vegetation as compared
with the other states through which
he passed, and spoke of it as being
about three weeks behind that of the
states farther south. He spoke also
of highway conditions, remarking
that every state has it's own pride in
the up keep of its roads and that the
palm for excellency lay between the
state of North Carolina and our
state of Maine. North Carolina ex-
ponds $50,000,000 a year on roads
and Florida S40.000,000 per year on
four year basis.
In speaking of the prosperity in
the south, DR.. Randall laid it in a
marked degree to the improved labor
conditions, one agent responsible for
the marked improvement being
hydro electric power, which has
made possible the furthering Of the
cotton industry of the south. The
population of North Carolina is made
up principally of Scotch and Irish
settlers who do not depart from the
old classic English manner of
speech. One feature which makes
the south so popular, and the Doctor
stressed especially here on the state
of North Carolina, is that all kinds
of climate are to be found here and
the flora includes that of nearly
every state in the union. The peo-
pie of the south have learned that
diversity of farming is the more
progressive and satisfactory method
to pursue. and many other products
are being raised than formerly.
Grapes are one of the feature pro-
auctions, many varieties being rails
