NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BYRD'S CHALLENGE

Rear Admiral Byrd, who as an officer In the
National Economy League has been severely crltl-
cized by American Legion spokesman for receiving
salary from the government while demanding a
reduction in the disbursements to World War vet
Grams makes response which is challenge to the
Legion
The admiral is not receiving a pension, 1t Is
established but is on the regular naval establish
ment subject to the call of duty in emergency.
He was retired because of a disability received in
actual service, and receives $4,000 year. But
he is willing, he announces, to give up his status
in the navy, and all that goes with (which pre-
sumably includes the $4,000 salary-if the Amer-
can Legion will favor before congress the repeal
of that dangerous, costly law which grants pen
sions to veterans of all our wars who received no
injury or disability from war service"
"This astonishing, un-American law allows
pension to a veteran for injury and sickness that
may occur now, fifteen years after the war, or at
any future date, that had nothing to do with the
war Indeed, the disability or injury may have
been the veterans own fault. This veteran may not
have gone more than few miles from home with
a service record of only few months duration
He gets a pension as does veteran who got his
disability facing the bullets of the enemy on the
battlefield. In few years millions of veterans
will be drawing this pension at cost to Uncle
Sam that will break his back financially and put
an intolerable burden of governmental cost on the
shoulders of our children that will take from them
in a measure their American brthright, their
chance for fair measure of personal freedom.
1t is as vital as liberty itself that this law be
changed. The immediate payment of the bonus is
of small Importance compared with this civil life
disability allowance cost"
That is a strong statement, but Admiral Byrd IS
so convinced of its truth and justice that he is
willing to give up his naval connection and all thai
goes with it if the American Legion will simply
take position sincere, for the change in this law
which his organization advocates. And therein is
a challenge; challenge under which the admiral
stands to gain nothing in personal way, but to
lose his retirement status in order to gain change
which will save his country substantial sums of
money. One must concede an unselfsh motive
there and it remains to be seen whether not the
American Legion will accept that challenge.--The
Greenve IS. c. News.

Itcntion then was to put all the
prisoners under the control OF
the state prison. But some Of
the members Of the general as
sembly thought this would give
Superintendent George Ross pou
of the state prison too much
power and too big a job, so it
was decided to have the two
separate systems instead. The
recommendation for greater uni
fication of the motor vehicle tax
collection agencies is also likely
to receive favorable considera-
ton.
The request that the general
assembly give the governor pow
cr to rcorganize state depart
mcnts, similar 10 the power that
will probably be asked of con-
gress by President Roosevelt,
came as something Of a surprise.
Most of the belief here is that
this recommendation will have
hard Shedding, although it is
agreed that if this power should
be given the governor, much ad-
ditional economy could result
from it.
The declaration by Governor
Ehringhaus that h G public
schools must participate in the
effort to bring about greater
economy, that further consolida-
lions must be made and that if
necessary additional salary cuts
for teachers must be put into cf-
feet, was regarded as something
of blow to the school forces.
For they had hoped he would
oppose any further reductions of
any sort for the schools. But
he made it clear that if economy
was a good thing for one class
of state employees it was good for
all Of them.
The suggestions made by Gov
crnor Ehringhaus concerning the
consolidation of counties and Of
cities and counties, were among
the most cody received of all.

WASHINGTON Tho intrica-
w cies Of economy are many and
Diverse. Some economies are
enormously expensive. Congress-
men slash blindly at many minor
expenses, usually preferring to ig-
more the big ones.
The history Of a sample item,
$4,000 for printing and binding
in the Office of Education, is out
lined herewith to present a fairly
representative insight into the
devious, protracted processes
through which hundreds Of dinky
economy proposals are analysed
and disputed before they are ef-
fected or killed off.
1t was one small item among
many in the Interior Department
appropriation bill. The Office OF
Education is the clearing house
for educational facts and statis-
tics, collecting and distributing
information on the condition and
progress of education, issuing sur
veys. advising the states, counties
and towns through its experts as
10 the administration and i'm
provement of schools.
FIVE men-the subcommittee OF

mittee on the Interior bill-stud-
led the item, which last session
was cut from S6S,000 to $4,000
for the present fiscal year. and
recommended; $4,000 to the full
committee. At a secret session
Of the full committee it appears
that some member said, 'EduCa-
ton? HUH" and the committee
on his motion recommended only
$4,000 in the bill it brought on
to the House floor.
The House reached the partic,
ular paragraph in the bill and

was roundIy applauded. But in
the same paragraph Governor
Ehringhaus asked that the COVER
nor be given authority to employ
a pardon commissioner and the
necessary stenographic help. So
while the office of executive
counsel will undoubtedly be abo-
lished, it is not expected to re-
suit in the saving of single
dollar in the total cost Of gov
eminent. The opinion of those
who know the situation is that
this recommendation was just Il
pretty gesture to satisfy those
who have been clamOring for the
abolition Of this office.
The recommendation for the
abolition of the bureau of per-
sonnet is in similar category,
since Governor Ehringhaus rec
commended that the work now be-
ing done by this bureau be con-
tinued as a division in the office
of the governor. SO even if this
bureau is abolished. it will be
only in name and the same work
it has been doing will be carried
on as an adjunct to the COVER
nor's office, with little or no
saving in cost.
Ever since Charles NJ. John
son, former director of local
government, was appointed State
Treasurer by former Governor
o. Max Gardner some six weeks
ago-evidently with the assur-
ance he would be continued in
that post by Governor Ehring-
haus-it has been assumed in
informed circles here that the
new governor would recommend
the consolidation of the local
government commission with the
office of state treasurer. So
when Governor Ehringhaus made
this recommendation it came as
no surprise to those who had
been following what was going
on. behind the scenes. This is
also regarded as another reason
why many of Ehringhaus' friends
were not anxious to sec the bill
to reduce the salaries Of state
officials Is per cent.
The recommendation for the
consolidation Of the state and
highway commission prison de-
partments into a single unit was
also not unexpected and is like
ly to be considered seriously by
this session Of the general as
Isembly. It was considered in the
