Washington. D. c., May 1.-The move
for economy in governmental expenses
seems to have become really serious
To be sure, everything that has been
done in that direction so far is COM
plicated by efforts to gain political adj
vantage, but congress at last has be-
fore it a definite program prepared
by one of its own committees which
would result, if put into effect, in very
materially reducing the cost of run
ming the United States.
Western news and the Libby times. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1920-1933, 1932-05-05

1t is quite probable that one of the
biggest fights on the economy program
will occur over the proposal to con-
solidate the army and navy into the
department Of national defense. This
will be opposed by both army and navy
men, and the chance of its adoption IS
regarded as doubtful.

Talk of the repeal of prohibition gets
louder week by week Efforts to smoke
out" the President and get him to state
his position have uniformly failed 1t is
understood he feels as he has always
felt, that as the executive he has no
option except to obey the Constitu-
ton and the laws. and that it is not
his function to dictate to the Republi-
can National Convention what it shall
recommend about changing the pro-
hibition laws. Personally dry, Mr.
Hoover as Republican and candidate
for reelection is expected to accept
the conventions pledge of a referen-
dupf on repeal, if such plank is writ
ten into the party platform, which now
seems more probable than it has pre-
viously been And the belief grows
here that both parties will make a
promise of referendum in the hope
that it will take the prohibition ques-
ton completely out of the presidential
campaign.

bed. Otherwise she'll be bad-tempered
tomorrow" She gave her hand to Mar
tin and he took it hesitatingly. 1t was a
hot, almost fevered hand, unnaturally
soft, and it seemed to wait for some
thing. AS Martin stood there, with this
strange and celebrated hand in his, it
rose of its own accord to his lips. 1t
smelled of bitter, an exciting perfume,
and Martin confusedly executed a kiss
that missed its mark and died away on
the perfumed air.

looked very childlike and her eyes had

Suddenly she let 60 of the dog, who

and cried out:

looked at Martin and gave start. He
had gone very white at the sight OF
the dishes, and sweat stood on his nose
Nov, you must eat and not say an

It was a little strange that she should
have looked away from Martin when he
began to eat. The fact is she had sud-
denly perceived the state he was in and
took pity on him. The fat servant
Withdrew, but before she did so she
stood behind Puck's chair, made
grimace, shook her head, clasped her
hands. tapped her forehead, and. after
thus reducing Martin to a state of help

left the room.
Martin ate. He ate first a plate OF
smoking soup in which swan cube
shaped objects. They tasted good. and
that was all he knew about them. He
ate then some kind of ragout scarcely
solid enough for his voracious appetite
and rather too highly seasoned for the
overstimulated nerves of his tongue. He
ate next venison with all kinds Of &C

slice into his mouth until he was full
from top to toe with the warmth OF
satiety-since for once heaven had given
him the chance. He ate the whole dish
clean, and then with glance at Puck,
he seized a roll of white bread and
sopped up the creamy sauce in which
delicious little fragments OF bacon were
immersed. Puck looked the other way.
She was crouching again on the rush
mating in her JavaneSe attitude and
whispering all kinds of things into the
ear of her dog, and he was replying with
sympathetic wags of his tail. Fruit
or cheese?" she asked without looking
up just as Martin put down his knife
and fork.
"Both-everythingl said Martin.
Suddenly he began to laugh. He was
satisfied and ashamed OF himself no

side him.

MUST FORCE TAX REDUCTION

One of the most encouraging phases
OF the late campaign was the attitude
taken by the majority of candidates for
public office toward the cost of govern
ment and the need for tax reduction.
Presldent-eleet Roosevelt has stated that a
20 per cent cut is essential and has pledged
his efforts toward achieving that. Those
elected with him have echoed his views.
Ii such reduction is made it will
nave an amazingly fine effect on the coun-
try--not only in the money that will be
saved, but in psychological result. There
i no question but what the speeter of still
higher taxes frightens thousands of in
pestors and shoves money into safe-deposit
vaults and tea pots; that it prevents bush
ness from going ahead and expanding
that 1t dlseourages home building and saw
ings; that, in this time of unemployment. il
creates more unemployment, more hard
ships. more distress.
