5OO,OOO Tax Spending Bodies!

The statement was recently made from an authoritative source that there are up- wards of 500,000 tax spending bodies in the United States.
 It is estimated that during the fiscal year to end June 30 these bodies will have spent the sum of S14,0OO,O00,0O0 = one-fifth of the national income. Where. in 1903. the per capita annual cost of government was $l9.39, it is now about Sl25 - an increase in excess of 600 per cent! :,
 The present predicament of the country is largely the result of these tax increases, made necessary by political waste, inefficieney and selfishness and by the creation of new bu- reaus and boards each with its list of em- ployes, and by unwarranted extension of government activities into fields which should properly be left to private initiative. Unless start is made toward genuine gov- ernment economy. which will lop off un- necessary commissions and eliminate waste and duplication of effort the wealth and earning power of our citizens will be confis- cated by taxation.

Artificial Rubber

Edison tried for years to find native plant which would yield rubber. In the soldenrod of the eastern meadows and road sides and in the guayuIe plant of the west he found two which would help out the rub Der supply if necessary. Meanwhile, other inventors have been trying to develop a rubber in their chemistry laboratories. One such substance. according to the Scientific American, called Thiokol, is now proving practical.
 It smells rather badly, so the housewife will not want to use it in the form of rub Der gloves. hot water bottles or for other domestic purposes But out-of-doors this difficulty is not so apparent. It has certain other values. however. which the natural rubber has not. It will not soak up gaso- line or oil. and it will adhere to almost any other substance. More will probably be heard from this and other rubbers made by synthesis in the next few years.

Pioneer Winters

In the early years of the nineteenth cen- tury pioneers were cutting their homes out of many an American wilderness. First. they cut down enough trees to build little cabin The best logs went into the build ing. The next were cut for the fireplace. the brush piled to use as fencing. Quick growing vegetables were planted in the dooryard, then more trees were cut down and wheat and corn sown among the stumps It took three years to get anything like such cleared field as we expect to SOW in grain today.
 There were bears and Indians. Father sometimes had to go on snowShoes thirty miles for few pounds of corn meal. When he came the children were so hungry that as the first crust formed on the paste of meal and water spread on a board in the fire place, Mother cut it off for them to eat before the bread was done. Creased paper made the windows Snow came through the ehinks in the logs. Keeping the fire up was practically life job in itself. The wolf. literally. howled at the door. Next winter may be hard one. But not so hard as that.

Governor Albert C. Ritchie is being cri- ticized for his recent remarks anent the presence of the Bonus Expeditionary Forces in his state. We don't blame the governor one bit for issuing the statement he did. It was nothing more than any chief execu- tive would do in the face of similar cir cumstances. He has an entire state to pro- tect and if three or four thousand service men are to enter the state and camp there for months, naturally the state will be forced to assume some sort of responsibility. He declares that Our own Maryland people are suffering sadly now from the effects of de- pression. want and unemployment. We can not be expected to accept in our midst an organized body of men who do not belong here, and who certainly would be the ob- ject of public charity. at time when we will have to strain every energy and tax every resource to care for our own people. :" The site the veterans have chosen for camp offers nothing to aid them, except perhaps firewood and shelter No crops can be grown upon it, no water supply IS available. sanitary conditions will be inn perled Why shouldn't Governor Ritche seek to protect his state and its citizens from unseen dangers. He is doing just what every other governor would do and at the same time expressing his sympathy for the cause of the veterans.

Government Relief Loans

It is very fine to have all that federal money available for "self-liquidating im- provements." It is fortunate indeed that turn to for funds to help along their own re- lief work. And where the government loans are needed and can be used advantageously. hard pressed cities have such resources to it is right to avail themselves of it.
 At the same time. it is well to remember that these millions are not coming some- how out of the Universe as a free gift The funds are provided by the government through bonds which are sold to investors and will have to be repaid, with interest. Any of these funds obtained by any city will be borrowed money. which will have to be paid back some time. and on which interest must be paid in the meantime. It will add to municipal indebtedness and overhead expense. The obvious thing for any city to do in this case is what any thrifty family does - not take all the money it can possibly borrow. but get along with as little ss will serve the purpose.

Seeking relief loans from banks that are authorized to make them under the recent provisions of Congress and the Federal Re- serve Board may not be as easy as imag- ined. Yesterday was the first day loans were available at federal reserve banks. To obtain ninety day loans negotiable paper has to be presented to the loaning bank. Incidentally this paper must represent not new capital or security collateral loan. but conner cial business transaction. Also it must be shown that the applicant has been refused loans at commercial bank. The minimum loan to be considered will be $l.000 while they can run as high as Sl.5e0.ooo. The line forms at the right.

 Washington.-Just as Congress- man Sol Bloom, the shrinking vio- let of the George Washington Bi- centennial commission, was being given up for lost, he was discov- erad romping through the Con- gressional Record.
 Nobody had been hearing much about Sol since congress cut his 1882 budget for the commission from $4OO,O00 to $200,000 and be- cause of the contrast with his pre- vious gigantic effort of ballyhoo- although perhaps that isn't exactly the word-that Sol had broken down under the strain and had been tucked away for a couple of years of rest.
 Busy as a Beaver
 But Sol blooms forth in all his glory in the final appendix of the Congressional Record, on which $15,500 has been spent since con- gress adjourned so that members might get their little after thoughts in at government expense. Of 56 speeches in the last appen- dix, aside from the innumerable little tributes to departed members, II are speeches of Sofs about George Washington. It appears that Sol has been working beaverishly at the com missions big headquarters and one thing that he saw to was that more than a score of his Washington speeches were printed so that cop ies might be bought cheap from the government printer and mailed out to an avaricious public.

THIRD AND LAST LESSON IN COLONS
 PHYSIOLOGY

Tn actual practice the so-called nutrient en- ema is gesture of the past. we reeuiar uo" tors are beginning to learn physiology. NOW. adays we entertain and foster no deiuslons tha' it is possible to feed a patient Tn tnls way wnen the natural ingestion of food IS 1nterrupteo' To be sure it is still common practlce 10 administer saline solution (salt dlssolved III water) by this method. We know that water is freely absorbed from the colon or large in- testine Possibly some salt dissolved In water is absorbed Among surgeons-who, as a class are generally pretty dumb and unskllied III the | science and art of therapeutics or treatment other than operative, it is customary to aoo some dextrose or glucose to the water admin istered by enema. This is done on the theory that some glucose or dextrose is absorped rom the large bowel into the blood
 Recent investigation of the question mas failed to furnish satisfactory proof that glucose or dextrose administered is absorped. Ac- curate scientific tests show no apprec,apie III, crease in the amount of dextrose in the blood after the careful administration of enemas con taining various amounts of dextrose In soiu- tion Most of the sugar so adminlstered was recovered from the dejecta after the lapse or 2h hours. But not all of it. The investigators concluded that a small quantity of the dextrose in the enema may be carried to the upper part of the large bowel by reverse perlstalsls, ana remain there to undergo slow fermentation or later return to the lower part Of the colon. The pactical conclusion we must draw from these precise studies is that the practice of adminis- tering glucose or dextrose in enemas Is Of ques- tionable value so far the nourishment of the patient is concerned though 1t may be as use full enemas of salt solution Tor proVioins needed water to the body.
 For our particular purpose the lesson to De drawn from these physiological facts is a sim pie one and sound one: We need never worry about the absorption of any harmful waste products, alleged poisons or real poisons of any kind from the large intestine. Such a thing can happen in the presence of grave patnoiog- ical lesions injuries, of course but not in the circumstances of every day life.
 Don't let the charlatans, the humbug diet ex- perts and the fancy nostrum eXpl0lters ge. your goat When they get onto the line about the toxins" or products of putrefaction" which they would have you think responsible
 for imanginary ''autointoxication" give eni a big horse laugh and ask them to cite the scientific authority for their vicious teaching. They'll be stumped there, though of course they can rattle off all kinds of names if you let lem give you mere opinions or arbitrary as- sertions in lieu of scientific facts.
 This is my last word on the subject Tor the present I hope these little lessons in physioi- ogy will help some of you glum birds who have taken the old quack line too seriously.

Entertaining Reading

Nothing is more entertaining to read
 these sultry dog days than accounts of what is happening in the major political parties of our own state. The fall cam paign is getting off to a good start with candidates and would-be candidates lining up for the start of the race which is some weeks hence. Notwithstanding the fact that the date is some weeks away these individuals and their packers are making every effort to have it appear that they and they alone are being backed by the dominant political organizations in their own bailiwieks. If they are then the or ganizations are as two-faced as the old Roman god, Janus, ever was.
 According to the most authentic reports issuing from republican headquarters there will be no unusual procedure at the state convention next month. It will nominate Lieutenant Governor Samuel R. Spencer for governor, inasmueh as he is next in line and it is republican custom to follow this line of least resistance in its gubernatorial nom- nations. There will be no thought of re- enlisting the aid of former Governor John Trumbul to stem the tide of democracy in Connecticut as many republicans had hoped. Mind you, we are not issuing offi- cial documents now. We are merely giving voice to the many and diverse reports that circulate the state.
 No thought of running the unsuccessful candidate of 193O, Ernest E. Rogers, seems to have entered republican minds either He is rarely mentioned in connection with the rT.t1< Trumbull and Alcorn. the two-fisted prose- cutor of Hartford county. Then Fairfield county has its own preference for former Lieutenant Governor Clifford B. Wilson. but will sacrifice him for Trumbull in or der to keep Alcorn from securing the nomi- nation. The Alcorn booms seem centered chiefly in Hartford county. Perhaps 1t IS move to remove him from court circles where he has menaced various groups at various times in his execution of his office.
 The Waterbury Republican tried to throw new angle on the situation by injetcing the name of Judge John E. McGrath of this city as candidate for state secretary. This was promptly squelehed. Other movements have met with a similar fate where the person so designated has had other plans for the future and objected to having himself made political football just to provide ex- citement for a day. Democratic circles are not quite SO excited since Gene Tunney flatly announced he was not candidate for any office. but merely wished to aid the cause through his personal appearance and re- marks A sensible attitude that will un- doubtedly return him dividends in the years to come when he may choose to run for office. There may be an economic de- pression, but it would never be known by political activities They are one form of public expression of opinion that can't be doWned

BAY RUM AND soURsoP
(New York Herald-Tribune)

Fifteen years ago the Wilson ad- ministration bought Columbus fifty-three islands of the "eleven thousand virgins" for the sum of $25, This was almost double what Thomas Jefferson had paid to Napoleon tor the Louisiana Territory and was at the rate of about $500 an acre, or much better than the top price for good farm land. Three years later we ruined the traditional economy of the islands by means of the prohi- bition law, which put an end to their rum trade and seriously crip- pied the allied business in bay rum. Nearly half the inhabitants have left the islands since we took over the group, and the plight of the rest is so serious that when MT Hoover visited, St Thomas as Presi- dent-elect he characterized the place as Ian effective poorhouse."
 One of the problems of the United States government, suggest ed by MT Hoover himself, is the economic rehabilitation of the Vir- gin Islands. In it's efforts to find some product which could atone for the effects of the Eighteenth Amendment and compensate for the decreased use of bay rum by shavers, the Department of Agri- culture has hit on the soursop as the savior of the islands. This fruit of the inelegant name has never yet saved anything In particular and has never cut a figure in in- |ternational trade, but it's oppor- tunity seems to have arrived at last. The plan proposed for it's utilization is to ship the juice to the American market, where 1t will compete with the juice of the orange and the pineapple. of the grape and the grapefruit and of the tomato and sauerkraut. And by some irony of fate it probably will serve as an ingredient for cocktails made in defiance of the very law that destroyed the prosperity of its native home.

 The glorious season of sweet corn eating has again begun. The corn borer has not succeeded in exterminating sweet corn. the noblest institution of its kind ex- tant during the summer months. It was one of the great mysteries of destiny that the possession or sweet corn should have been er- trusted to the Indians alone among the races of the earth prior to the discovery of America by Columbus. It appeared that the Indians had little but a peculiar romance to contribute to civilization and yet they made a tremendous contribu- ton with their corn. The plant it- self is among the most wonderful and beautiful in nature. The milky grain has an edible character quite unmatched.
 Even in the winter we do. not go without sweet corn. thnnks to the invention of canning and pre- serving. Tn summer the .cobs pro- duced, if placed end to end would make a positively appalling amount of celluiose.
