Senator Hiram A. Bingham. of New Haven charaeterizes the proposals of Sena- tors Couzens and Borah that federal em- ploycs, including legislators, have their sal- aries decreased He claims that this would be only drop in the bucket in affecting governmental economy. However if all these drops in the bucket that have been suggested were put into effect the full bucket of them would certainly be of considerable good. It is just such little economics that lead to bigger ones. We are in favor of as many of them as possible whether or not they include salary slashing. At least put some into effect and stop talking about the many that could be adopted.

 THAT'S LOVE. When you put on diamond and then give a smack And throw out your chest cause she's caught in your rack, Then dream of a cottage that costs lots of jack,
