natural beauty, it is hard to under
stand why the American tourists
spent the amazing sum OF I60
million dollars abroad last year,
more than twice as much as they
spent in 1922. The only explaua-
ton is, they have not learned OF
the wonderful scenic attraction $
Washington has to offer.

WASHINGTON SHOULD AT
TRACT THE WORLD
John A. kellogg, Mayor of Belling
ham, Washington

Ii the people Of the State of
Washington can awaken to the
possibilities that are ours, if we can
get 10 gether, work together. and
pull together, earnestly, whole
heartedly. and will lay aside the
petty jealousies and rivalries that
have existed; II we can bring our
selves 10 a realization that what
helps any section of our State helps
all-if we can do this, we will have
the right 10 expect that the Great
City of the future will be builded
and this higher civilization will be
achieved in our glorious State.
Nature has done her part--wlll
we do ours2
We have wonderful climate,
differing in sections, but withal
eQuable, invigorating and healthy.
Records of the American Red Gross
show we have never experienced
destructive storm, flood or ep-
idemie that has called for relief
from that organization. We have
marked seasons Of the year, with
out extremes of heat and cold or
sudden changes, a condition found
in hut few places in the world.

OLD SWEDISH CASTLE
 BECOMES INSTITUTION

STOCKHOLM, Oct 5 (P)-The knightly splendor of Sweden's historic castles-is a thing of the past, and sev- eral of them are being adapted to hu- manitarian or idealistic purposes.
 Dr. Axel Gauffin, director of the na- tional museum, has plan for con- verting Laeckoe Castle into a picture gallery. For number of years it has been empty, and a proposal made last year to turn it into tourist hotel has been rejected as impious. It was once the country seat of the powerful de la Gardies, French family that had become enobled in Sweden
 The equally renowned castles of Grfpsholm and Skokloster on Lake Malaren have already been converted into art museums. Two other castles iSturehov and Loevstad, will be made into museums before long, while part of the once heavily fortified castle of Vadstena, on Lake Vattern, has for some time housed the local archives. Some other castles are finding use as homes for old people.

the logical thing to do is to bring
the whole financial program up

Also, if, as Mr.. Ramsey init
mates, the state is carrying too
much surplus, and is adding
thereto each year, the question
naturally arises as to whether it
would not be advisable to pare
down on the present tax obliga-
tions. What is necessary, OBJ
viously, is only a sufficient sur
plus to always insure being on

some of our sources of revenue
are liable to fluctuate. Certain
ly the state is not in business to

The whole financial scheme of
Delaware's governmental admin
istration needs revising, judging
from Russell Ramsey's estimate
made some time ago, but ever
worthy of serious thought. Mr..
Ramsey based his remarks on
an investigation made by the
Taxpayers Research League,
Of which he is director.
Among other things. the de-
duction may be drawn that
the states accounting program
is obsolete, being based on laws
rs years old. IF the method is
not modern, not adequate to
cope with new conditions, it
should be corrected. The next
Legislature should give atten-
ton to the subject, taking such
corrective action as may be nee
essary.
1t would be well, however, if
action Of this character is con
templated, to first obtain such
expert advice as will properly
meet the situation. Thereafter
close watch should be kept to
avoid recurrence of the condition
that now apparently confronts
us.
Though enacted only six years
ago, what we consider our new
budget law-for we never had
one before seems also to need a
brushing up, 50 as to insure the
best results from its operation.
Other states have improved
their budget laws; therefore
Delaware should do likewise. In
like manner, according to Mr..
Ramsey, the sinking fund, which
seems to be plentifully supplied
with cash, can be made to serve
a more useful purpose than is
now the case.
The analyst points out that
Delaware's problem is not how
to raise more money, but how to
spend less. It is declared that
the state is raising more than il
is spending, and even in the face
Of this situation, its expendi-
lures are much larger per capita
than those of the average Of all
the states. Figures quoted show
the per capita expenditures in
Delaware for the year 1925 to
have been S31.39, as compared
with S4.04 in 1915, whereas the
average Of all the states shows
an increase from $5.O3 per cap
ita in 1915 to S14.34 in 1925. AS
has been stated before, the ex-
cesSive governmental expendi-
lures in Delaware are due partly
to the fact that the state assum-
es the major portion Of the ex-
pense Of operating the schools,
which is not the case in most
other states. But this does not,
by any means, furnish salts
factory explanation Of all Of the
mounting costs.
1t is assumed from the criti-
cism referred to that the adop-
tion Of a modern system Of ac-
counting, together with a revi-
sion of the whole financial
scheme, would be a basic move
toward improvement. It GER
