ST. Paul, Minnesota-The coming of
the swimming season is likely to mean
the unusal number of avoidable
deaths by drowning in Minnesota

tation measures and skill in using
them should be part of the equip
ment of everybody who swims or
watches the swimming in Minnesota
lakes this year.
"a lively first aid and life saw

can be enlisted as trainers. Some
of them will gladly lend time to
organizing such a club. The point
is that everybody gets actual prac-
tice in the prone pressure method
of resuscitation which is just as eff
fective as the pulmotor and requires
no loss of precious time to get it
into action. Every man, woman and
child should know what to do in that
narrowing moment when a comrade
is carried out of the water apparently
dead.
Never give a drowning victim up
for dead until doctor has arrived
and pronounced him dead. Don't hunt
for barrel to balance him on so as
to give the water chance to run out
Instead, lay him flat on the
ground, chest down, with his head
turned to one side. Then put your
hands below his ribs and press down
at the rate of 16 times a minute.
Press down, hold for a count of four,
and then release. And keep it
up! Never give up the fight even if
you see no sign of returning life
under an hours time. An hours
time. should surely bring you expert
help to advise, anyway"
knowledge of the prone pressure
method is essential to first add for
victims of other kinds of suffocation
such as gas poisoning, too, the bulle-
tin points out. 1t is as essential to
the practical information of everybody
as how to tie up a sore finger.

FRUIT GROWERS SEE
MANY INSECT PESTS

During the past week many fruit
growers have brought different in
sects to the county agents office for
identification and control methods.
Most prevalent of all are the common
plant lice or aphids, which vary in
color from green to dark brown, that
affect the leaves of apples, plums,
cherries, and the latter will affect
currants, raspberries and may even
affect field grain. The aphids gather
in countless numbers on the under
side of the leaves and cause the
leaves to have rolled appearance due
to the fact that the insects suck the
juices from the leaves.
The most effective control for this
is to spray with the solution of nico-
tine sulphate which has a trade name
commonly known as "Black Leaf 49,"
Directions are given for proper spray
ing on the containers of the solution.
Generally considered, the best formu-
la is one gallon of water, one and
one-quarter teaspoOnsful of the 400
nicotine solution and one ounce of
common washing soap.
On the John Gallick farm east of
Pine City, on which Mr.. Gallick no
ticed his blue grass pasture dying,
Fred B. Willrett, county agent, was
called to determine the cause. A
large number of worms known as sod
| webworms were found to be burrow-
ing and eating the crown of the grass
There is no poison that will destroy
these worms, however they may be
largely controlled by blowing the in
fected area.
Pine county people who are finding
insects causing injury to their fruit
trees or crops are urged to get in
touch with the county agent at
Hinckley.

Stresses Balanced Budget.

"Of course, the Federal budget must
be balanced In order to save the public
credit. This is our steet-anchor In the
storm Only crazy man would cut
the chain. Unfortunately, SO much of
the budget is in fixed charges, like ap-
proxin ately a billion on debt account
and another billion in veterans allow
ances. that the economy range is
sharply circumscribed. As a result, no
matter how brave the assault upon the
balance Of Federal expenditures may
be, temporary additional Federal levies
are unavoidable Nobody wants to paw
them. But the American people will
pay them with typical loyalty and
craftsmanship If they know, first, that
the last possible economy has been in
voked to reduce these temporary tax
necessities to the utmost limit and to
hasten their subsequent elimination. It
Is the unacceptable responsibility of the
Federal Government to put maximum
effort into these economies. The people
are not of temper TO compromise with
failure. however well excused upon this

How, then, may it be done? That

of course, the first answer is to
draw dead-line against all new ap-
preparations for new purposes. This
means rigid resistance to the well mean
ing demands of well meaning groups of
citizens all over the land. 1t is a

There is no way that Uncle Sam can

the contrary is mere moonshine. Let
us put first things first. There Is no
way to stop this exaction except by
stopping expenditures. Unfortunately.
this hurts those who are thus penalized

swollen public expenditures originated
in tie paignings of ju-t such or
ganized minorities. We probably are
the most overorganized land on earth.
This Is one Of the reasons, ultimately,
for the high cost Of government. The
people must change their attitude in
this regard. They must exercise as
much confluence as they demand OF
Congress. They cannot keep their cake
and eat 1t. Economy requires co-opera-
ton. Constituents must do their part.
Stop All Increases.
IT have said that the first answer to
our question Is to draw an arbitrary
oesd-Hne against new appropriations.
The second obvious answer is to extend
the dead-line against any increases in
old appropriations and to cut them
back to the last livable limit. The
Presidents budget last December, ac-
cording to his own figures, wrought a
reduction of 1859, 900, 600 over the previ-
Gus year. In passing upon the first
three appropriation bills the House in
turn cut a total of sl15,000,00O under
the budget, although substantial por-
tion Of this sum is calculated to return
after election as deficiency item. Then
the Senate, after helplessly trying to
particularize in additional economies,
shut its eyes and or6ered a final 10 per
cent reduction in these totals-an OPP
Grafton in which I participated and
which heartily applaud. If the coun-
try thinks that serious efforts are not
being made-and successfully-in these
directions, the country is mistaken. The
executive departments in Washington
have good reason to know otherwise
But there is still third answer to
our questionable most practical and
important answer of all-namely, the
complete elimination of useless or out
worn public services, the reorganization
OF other services to eliminate duplica-
ton, overlapping and waste, and the
economical concentration Of all related
public services in one management and
one overhead. 1t is upon this particu-
lar phase of the problem that I have
been asked to speak. I do so with
great earnestness, because it is a phase
which have been particularly urging
upon the Senate during the past month.
What is infinitely more important, it is
a phase to which the President has been
addressing repeated and insistent mes
sages.
THE structure of the Federal Gov
ernment includes 10 executive depart
ments, 40 independent establishments,
zoo bureaus, boards and commissions
and $4,000 employees. They have grown
up like Topsy' No one in particular
is to blame. 1t is the haphazard prod
uct of haphazard era in American
life. Once upon time the late Senator
Aldrich said in another and less ex-
pensive day that even then he could
save $500, 100000 year through 'busi-
ness management of the Federal Gov
ernment Since then we have had our
recent decade of opulence when money
was no object, when our fat fortunes
were matched by an equivalent gener-
osity in the expansion of infinite social
and public service, when we trended in
the erection of vast grants of aid and
interest for industry and agriculture,
when we drifted into the emphasized
habit Of Federal bounties to the States,
when, in word, Uncle Sam became

dubious business to wait for a meeting
of 531 legislative minds in House and
Senate We have one shining example
Of this futility. In 1924. after four years
i earnest labor, a joint congressional
! committee submitted a comprehensive
reorganization plan, far more searching
in scope than any duplicated effort
could hope to be today, and it died
aborning. We approach the eighth an
! niversary of its obsequies. On the
other hand, Congress proved that the
miracle is not impossible, when, for ex-
ample. it ordered the concentration of
all veterans affairs in one department
two years ago, whereupon this concen-
! trated department, although simultane-
ously loaded down with $4,000 new
types of Spanish War claims, 7l5,OO0
new types of World War disability
claims and 2,268 900 new bonus loans,
proceeded actually to reduce its Joint
cost of operation by nearly $4,000, 900
per annum. In other words, the thing
can be done by congressional initiative,
as a House Economy Committee has
been struggling to do it for several
weeks, but it is the least reliable and
the most ponderous formula.
THE second method of procedure Is
by executive order of the President.
is the method recommended by the
analogy of private business where the
executive ordinarily hires and fires
and pursues efficiency and economy by
summary mandate. The President re-
peatedly has asked Congress to give
him this authority. subject only to con-
sequent congressional veto. At present
he has in the main only the power to
recommend. But Congress has declined
to unite his hands. The question of
the delegation Of legislative powers
arises. Then, too, there is a constant
demand for bill Of particulars as a
condition precedent. Then there Is the
familiar and typically illogical political
anathema which condemns the Presi-
dent for not acting on his own while
also declining to grant him the power
to act on his own. Three tines in the
Senate between March IL and March

through amendments to appropriation

the third, 28 to IS But a resolution
submitted by Senator George and ap-
proved by the Finance Committee to
accomplish this result Is now on the
Senate calendar. and the so-called
Steering Committee promises It an early
right Of way.
THE third method Of procedure Is a
combination Of the other two. The
President recommended 1t in q special
message on April 4. namely, corrective
action initiated by mixed group repre-
sentative of Senate, House and Execu-
tive. This method lacks some Of the
infirmities of the first method and all
of the expedition of the second method
If it could have plenary power, it would
be superior to both. But any method
which gets results Is welcome. The
extra-legal laison established last Sat-
urday between the President and the
House Economy Committee points to
possibilities Of success in this latter
direction. It remains to be seen, how
ever, what the full body of the House
and Senate would do with a general re-
organization law submitted for its ap-
proval. The President did not over
state the hazard In his press statement
Of April when he pointed out that
such program concerns a multiplicity

multiplicity of executive instrumental
ties. He said: If we take the IL prin-
cipal spending branches of the Govern
ment, each OF them working indepen-

ferent congressional committees which
are concerned in these ideas and pro-
posals, then, even If we have the very
best will in the world, without an atom
OF partisanship, the mere diffusion of
effort seemingly makes effective prog
ress impossible 1t remains to be seen
whether a mixed liaison committee, i'm
plementing this third plan, could rise
above this complex. Bureaucracy is
tenacious. SO are its related commit
tees in the Congress. Personally con-
tinue to believe the second method pref
erable-'direct action by executive or
der. But any method Is preferable to
no method-and the time for cohesive
decision Is at hand. The end will JUS
tify the means. Democracy Is eating
itself up today. 1t must curb its own
governmental appetites.
