THE TEcHNocRATs HIT THE sNowsToRM

Columbia University has chased democracy out
into the wild open spaces. The university seems
suddenly to have discovered that it was patron to

THE AMENDED BILL is NOT
SATISFACTORY

The bill to abolish county boards OF edu-
cation and divide the State into thirty dis
tricts for purposes of school supervision,
has been amended to make the number of
districts forty and to make certain other
changes in the original bill which appear
TO be more or less unimportant.
As it affects this section Of the State the
new bill proposes a supervisory district
COMPOSED of Henderson, Pennsylvania and
Polk counties. This would be known as dis
trict No. 4. District No. would be COM
posed of Buncombe and Madison.
The changes in the proposed law do not
convince The Times-News that it would be
acceptable or would result in efficient and
satisfactory management Of the schools.
As previously suggested by this news
paper. the practical way to reduce the cost
of the supervision of the public schools
and. in addition, all costs of county gov
eminent, is county consolidation. The num-
Der of counties can be reduced to fifty anu
that would cut the cost of county govern
ment, including schools supervision, not
one-half, perhaps, but to the extent OF NIL
lions of dollars annually. The proposed
school supervision law would save prob
ably much less than half million dollars.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
CITRUS SODA

Cahfornians who beg for beer have something
to think about. There has been a decided rise III
the soft-drink trade since the advent of prohlol-
tion Grape juice and citrus drinks have shot up
miraculOusly.
Citrus drinks have increased 6S.2 per cent the
past five years.
The wine industry would gain by repeal; but
what about the orange and lemon growers?
Uncle Sam drank the juice of 1,231,692'OoO
oranges at soda fountains last year. 1t took 49,
$50 cars to haul them to him and 6,15S,46O boxes
to contain them The soda fountains of the ccun-
try used 1877 per cent of the countrys total crop
This ought to be drink, if not food, for thought
to those crying for beer to produce two or three
hundred millions in taxes. The lemonade drinkers
accounted for S3,431 900 lemons being squeezed
at soda fountains during the year. These filled q
TIA cars for distribution. Lemonade absorbed l5.o
per cent of the total crop. -.
So far as this state is concerned beer as pros
perity restorer has much less value than orange
juice and lemonade.-Los Angeles Times.

RoosEVELT'S GREAT SOCIALISTIC
SCHEME

PreSIdent-eIect FrankIln - hOoSeHeII -
proposal for development in the Tennessee
River valley and in the tributary country
IS of such magnitude and so intricate Ill
details and would be so far-reaching IN re-
suits. that long and careful study OF the
proposition will be necessary to enable the
average citizen to arrive at definite conYlc-
tons and safe conclusion. It is an I'M
pressive and delightful vision that is pic
tured by the President-elect. How it would
turn out in practical results is problem
about which there will be vast amount
of speculation.
The ends sought by the President-elect
are good and would be stimulating and
profitable to a large area of the country.
However, It is certain that if this gigantic
program of development is carried through
in the Tennessee Valley, scores Of other
areas of the country will insist on having
the federal government do similar or
greater things for them. Presently, then,
we would have the government plunged
into a vast socialistic program that would
ultimately wreck representative govern
ment under the Constitution. AS a matter
of fact, the federal government has al
ready plunged into Socialism to such an
extent that representative government is
endangered. More progress in that direc-
ton is certain to result in complications.
troubles, expenses and taxes which will
further postpone the day of normal recOv-
cry of business and extend the period OF
stagnation.
The basic proposal of the Tennessee
River valley development is government
ownership of business. It would put the
federal government in the power business
on large scale; and, by degrees, put the
government into other lines of business.
One of the things that is fundamentally
wrong with the country now is the govern
ment in business. How conditions are to
permanently improve as the government
more and more enters into competition
with the business of its own citizens, is a
proposition that old fashioned Americans
cannot understand.
If the federal government enters the
power business in the Tennessee River val
ley, there is one certainty: Hundreds of
millions of the peoples money will be ex-
pended and wasted, in development and III
operation. The federal government has
been VIGOROUSLY inefficient and extrava-
giant in performing legitimate government
tai functions. When it departs entirely
from the true functions of representative
government and goes into business in com
petition with its own citizens, the record is
always one that ought to arouse the indig,
nation of all good citizens. The course i;
fundamentally wrong and subversive o.
Constitutional government and the bills fol
extravaganza and inefficiency are all the
people get out of these schemes.

NAVAL TREATIES AND
ECONOMICS

The DISARMAMENT Conference
in Washington in 1921, called by
the late President Warren c.
Harding, after months of labor
ious study, finally arrived at the
idea Of limiting by treaty, the
ratio Of naval tonnage between
the United States, Great Britain
and Japan at 5-5-3. In Other
words these three powers, as
signers of the treaty, agreed
that naval tonnage should be
limited and should be maintain
ed in this ratio.
Later conferences at London
resulted in the further limiting
Of tonnage, but the ratio between
the three great naval powers was
maintained.
The economic depression, how
ever, following in the wake OF
these two naval conferences, has
nullified the work of these con-
fcrences to such an extent that
the original ratio no longer en-
lists between the three great
naval powers. The charge is not
made here that either of the
signatOry powers has exceeded
the tonnage limits of the Wash,
ingIon or London conferences
but economy programs in naval
construction have materially al
tered the intentions of these con-
ferences.
Ely the ratio agreed upon, Bri-
tain and the United States were
to be equal in naval tonnage,
and Japan was to follow in the
ratio of 5 to 3. Naval construc-
ton programs in this country
have since the signing of the
treaties, placed the United States
in poor third place among the
naval powers of the world.
Scch q condition is readily
shown in the annual report of
the secretary OF the navy. To
quote from the report: Of Is
United States battleships, II are
in full commission one in reduc-
ed commission and three in re-
duced commission being modern
