dent that Mr.. Wood has his
doubts. They have offered
cooperation that has not
been Forthcoming except in
one instance.
The Presidents statement
to the press, put beside the
keen and carefully prepared
analysis of Mr.. Byrns, is
sadly devastated.
But that is politics.
And the millions of Ameri-
cans who are to be burdened
numerically with taxes TO
meet the deficit are not so
much interested in the pollti-
cal duel as in getting some
results that make for econ
omy. The Implications in
the departments. the multi
plicity of bureaus and COM
missions, the expenditure of
rmous sums on silly
things like the issuance and
distribution of the AgricuI-
ture Departments pamphlet
on the love life of the frog,
are creating a governmental
burden that the people can
not bear.

Nothing to Do But
Grin and Bear It

Millions are being spent on
work that does not belong to
the functions of the Federal
Government. 1t is not the
business Of a government,
for example, to instruct the
people on the raising of
chickens. 1t recently re-
quired three pages of the
Congressional Record to re-
cord the names of pamphlets,
issued at heavy cost by the
Agriculture Department, that
serve no purpose remotely
commensurate with the ex-
pense.
The whole trend for years
has been to impose unreason-
able and intolerable burdens
on the taxpayers to maintain
the Government. 1t was not
the thought of the founders
Of the Republic that the
people should exist to main
tain government. 1t was
the theory that government
exists to serve the people,
Any one curious as to the
financial plight of the
French monarchy, in the
closing days, can easily
understand what the burden
on the people must have
been, by rambling through
the Palace of Versailles.
That enormous pile SYM
bolized the cost of govern
ment. 1t absorbed indirectly
the revenues of the rich no.
bility; the peasants were
neglected that the princes
might be served.
We have no Versailles, but
We have a governmental fab
ric that takes it's place "a
governmental fabric that is
a drain on the American
people to support.

He should sympathize with

He should, love you and yet
despise all that is weak in you.
and should expect you to do
the same to him.
He should help you face life;
never help you run away
from it.
He should share himself with
you but never give himself to

him.
He should be himself, and
let you be yourself. He should

The Facts Are Not
So Imposing

NV AAOc"S@S
just now when the tax bill
is announced, with all the
hardship on the people it in
wolves, the President makes
a statement, not to Congress
but to the people through
the press, on the economies
that have been effected. This
statement was intended to
convey the idea that the Ad-
ministration has reduced ex-
penditures for the coming
year as much as $685., ,OOO,-
900. The figures are i'm
pressive. The facts are not
so imposing. Thus, Mr..
Byrns, Of the Appropriations
Committee, says:
1T is to be regretted that
he did not analyze the reduce
tion, for if he had done sd
it would have appeared that
over $340,000,0OO of that
amount is due to nonrecur-
ring items in the way of con-
struction which is being car
ried on this year, but which
will not be necessary next
year. -
More to the point is the
fact that, with full knowl-
edge of the unprecedented
deficit, the Administration,
through its departments, SUBJ
mitted a budget which the
House has been able to cut to
the tune of many millions.
The Agriculture Department
estimated $49,421,2S9 more
than the House gives it; the
Interior Department $12,637,-
254 more; the Treasury De-
partment $22,010,985, and so
on through the list.

It seems that the Presi-
dents statement that the
executive department, and
the heads under it, are CO.
operating with the House
committee in the work Of
reorganization and saving is
a surprise, not merely to the
Democrats, but to the Re-
publicans of the House. Will
Wood, former chairman of
the Appropriations Commit
tee and a robust partisan,
does not wax enthusiastic
over the Presidents state
ment. He says:
IF these officers (under
the President) cooperate
with the committee, as the
President advises, and Con-
gress will adopt the recon-
mendations of our commit
tee, there will be material
savings.

to find no one to get breakfast. Mrs Madison,
widow Of President Madison, was heavily
hit, losing, 50 the Intelligencer states, slaves
to the value of 100000.
However, when the schooner could make no
further progress, 1t was overhauled by o
steamboat, hired for the purpose and the
captain, the vessel and the slaves were brought
back to the city. The slaves were turned over
to their owners, and Drayton and the captain
convicted Of larceny and kept In the Washing

At this time the Era had its publishing Office

purpose Of destroying the plant.
THIS was during the days of the Auxiliary
Guard, when John H. Goddard was chief

although 1t then consisted of a mere handful
OF men. Upon one occasion 30 years later
when Capt. Goddard was asked about the

A MOTHER eyewitness Of this event has left
y US his recollection as follows:
After despoiling the printing Office, the mob
moved around to DR.. Bailey's residence and
called him out. He resided at the corner Of e
and Eighth streets, where the Concordia build
ing now stands. He came to the door and ad-
dressed the crowd. Daniel Ratcliffe, a lawyer
represented them. DR.. Bailey asserted his rights
a citizen to write and publish his sentiments
and declined to yield to the demand that he
should cease to publish the Era. His door and
windows were open, and the lights were burning
brightly within, where his family and friends
were quietly seated. Colonel Seaton, editor of
the National Intelligencer, and mayor of the
city resided in the next house on street, but
was confined to his bed. The families were on
friendly, neighborly terms. and Mrs. Seaton
invited the Baileys to spend the night at their

The structure should be completed
in the next 10 days. Dalrymple said,
when up-to-date radio equipment will
be set up. The radio will permit two
way communication between planes in
flight and the ground station.
In the building will be a waiting
room for air passengers. Similar sta
tons have been built at Valley City

Dalrymple expressed confidence that
the routing of the proposed next leg

Editor, Tribune
Seeing the article on money re-
Gently in The Tribune set me to
thinking and I am offering msK cy
plan which I believe would work t-ld
| help out.
Must give example to show how it
| would work:
Suppose that on the road to town
there was a small sharp hill which
was a great inconvenience, SO one day
I take a team, pillow and scraper and
go and pull down the hill. Then I
! 60 home and there is no money to
pay me for this, so take six pieces
of silver weighing each one ounce
and stamp them with my seal. Then
consider those pieces which were
worth SOC each ION June IA the price
was 27Ac per ounce according to a
letter from the Federal Reserve bank,
Minneapolis) worth Sl.00 each, this
to pay me $4.20 for doing the work.
This money ask the public to take
for I have done a work of universal
and lasting benefit. So let congress
hire a million men for, say three
months in a year, giving them fair
wage, say $500 per day, in silver for
honest labor on lasting improvements
of public benefit such as river and
harbor improvement, building Of
dams and canals, roads and refores-
tation. Then the government would
coin money (silver to the amount of
s., 600, 900 per day besides the cost of
the silver. In Is working days $75,-
900 900 and in three months $225 000,-
900 would be coined.
This would be better than selling
bonds to help the unemployed, for
bonds must be repaid with interest
while this would never have to be re-
paid and 1t would start the money at
the bottom where it would do the
most good. When 1t starts at the top
by the time it gets to the common
people it has gone through several
banks which must have interest on
1t.
Former Governor Smith of New
York received fame because he had
public improvements made and made
the bonds due later so coming gen.
erations must pay them. This is not
fair, for the coming generations will
have other things to pay for by the
time they get here.
Well, now, is more money needed7
Yes, as long as population and i'm
provements increase.
Manhattan island was sold by the
Indians for $2700. Now II that was
all the money there ever was in that
vicinity $27.00 would be all the money
1t would bring today with the great
city Of New York upon it.
Also any potential amount of
money such as soldiers bonus, bonds
for improvement, etc., will only be of
temporary benefit.
