In the case OF the late Mr.. Hawley

In the city. and 1t il rarely men,
toned without EXPLANATIONS Of ap-
probation. But Is or SO years from
now? The deeds Of good men live
after them, 1t Is said: but they are
more certain Of 80 doing II their
names are enshrined upon some
public building. thus awakening and
quickening the public confidence
and maintaining public appreciation
as the years roll on.
The practice Of honoring notable
local residents will also stimulate
others to qualify in that class. Men
set aside large sums for monuments
Of splendor to be erected at their
graves: what can be q finer monu-
ment for worthy citizenship than the
naming Of = school in their honor?
Let the practice Of enshrining good
deeds in this manner be generally
adopted and We will In due time
have many more citizens worthy Of
such honors.
Selection Of the name for the
Clinton street school 10 not one for
acrimonious debate; it rather is one
requiring calm and dispassionate
discussion with a decision based up

some Of the reasons for naming the
school in memory Of late
distinguished citizen and trust that
they will be found Of sufficient value
to receive careful consideration by
the school comittee.

FENN'S APPORTIONMENT
EFFORTS

CONGRESSMAN Fem of this district
received q severe defeat In the last
Congress when he attempted to push
through his effort to have the House
reapportioned according to the re-
quirements Of the Constitution. Hav-
ing the basic document on his side
one would think It comparatively
easy to bring his colleagues to con-
form; but for some reason best
known to the western rural citi-
zenry, the Constitution is not as I'M
portant as the maintenance Of dis
proportional representation in the
lower house, giving to their districts
better representation.
Although the defeat OF the Fem
reapportionment measure in the
House was by slight margin-the
vote was 1913 to 1873. 1t will be re-
membered- the surprise attached is
that there should have been any
congressman at all willing to set the
Constitutional requirements aside
for political purposes. The last Fem
bill did not even provide for an
superintendent now. but only after
March :. 1898, when 1t required that
the House be reapportioned on the
basis Of the 1880 census. Even such
a mild idea failed to meet approval.
Considering that the House has not
yet been reapportioned according to
the 1920 census seven years after 1t
was taken, 1t means that the
House has not only refused to obey
the mandate Of the Constitution for
reapportionment after the 1920
census. but has gone so far as to 60
on record as being against a re-
apportlonment after the 1880 CEN
sus.
1t ID to be hoped that the next
Congress will take a more enlight-
ened attitude.

Lambert was able TO crawl from
the plane but Walker lay motion
less. Farm hands saw the crash and
rushed to the assistance Of the
young men. The plane did not catch
fire and the rescuers quickly lifted
the unconscious form OF Walker
from the machine.
The accident occurred in a farm

remote from any doctor. An ambu-

Lambert, SO far as physicians
could determine, was not hurt SER

unless some internal injury should
develop he is expected to be about

He estimated that he was flying
about 200 feet from the ground
when the machine went into a tail
spin. Lambert had no comment TO
make on a pote found in the pocket
of Walker, which read:
Goodbye Nal and Carol"
A wire from st. Louis announced
that relatives OF Walker would ar.

his body to that city. Lambert and
Walker were cousins.

TREASURY SURPLUS
AND THE BUDGET

Federal taxation has been reduc-
ed and there IL talk Of further re-
auctions In the imminent future;
for the first time since the war, fed
eral expenditures have been
brought below $4,000, 100000 per
annum: the tax surplus at the end
Of the fiscal year. July l, will be
$5ss.000, 900; the estimated surplus
for 1928 is $s3s,oOo,ooo and will
probably be higher.
That, in a nutshell. is Uncle Sans
financial condition. All things con-
sidered, 1t is very satisfactory and
reflects credit upon Secretary Mel
Ion and Budget Director Lord, the
watchdog over expenditures.
The public is inclined to mistake
tax reductions for economy. The
former are more easily felt by the
public than the latter. Congress ap-
propriated $4,21l,2Ol,270 for the
next fiscal year, and there is wide
difference between this amount and
Mr.. Lords estimates Of running en-
penses-merely matter Of billion.
The appropriation for the last fiscal
year was $3,953,62s,s9o. The differ
ence is substantial increase.
The appropriations for the next
fiscal year are higher than at any
time since 1920. when they were
more than seven billions. 1t was not
until 1917 that the first 'billion dol
lar congress- arrived: before that
time appropriations were always
less During the war years, Of course,
appropriations went sky high. Part
OF the difference between the bud
get figures and Congressional appro-
priations is usually applied to the
surplus. The higher the appro-
priations and the lower actual ex-
penditures, the higher the surplus.
Comparing the present appro-
priations with those Of 1913 is
illuminative. In that year, with
much protesting going on at the
high cost of government. they
amounted to ss17.3s2,17s. We now
spend nearly seven times as much
, 10 run the government.
The Liberty bond refunding under
way is expected to yield the gov.
eminent another sa5o.000. 900 in the
coming years. and the outlook. de-
! spite any tax reduction that may
eventuate, Is further reduction Of
the public debt, which has been de-
creased by s7.5SS.5O5.197 since the
war. Last February the Senate voted
I to continue applying the surplus te

and this meets with the approval Of
most citizens. The time to reduce the
