SQUEEZE THE OFFICIAL SPONGE

If there is 'watered stock in indus
try, there is certainly "watered stock" in
government when measured by the same
yardstick.
Ii there are industrial organizations
where the investor gets only ST worth of
value for 81 worth of stock, there are GER
tainly government operations where he
gets only ST worth of value for So worth
of taxes.
The difference between stock in pri-
vate corporation and stock in government,
is that the investor does not have to buy
the former but he certainly has to sub
scribe to the latter and any property that
he has may be taken by the government to
pay his bill.
There is as much or more need for
"Wringing the water out of government
operations, as there is for wringing it out
of private operations. In fact, there is
more need, for the simple reason that there
is not the same Individual incentive to keep
government solvent as there is to keep pri-
vate business solvent.
When government is running in the
red, the powers that put it there simply
ask the taxpayers for additional sums to
make up the deficits of bad management.
When a private industry runs in the red, it
eventually goes out of existence and it's
managers lose their jobs.
There is SO much water in the manage
ment of government today that if the Off

structure as would pitcher of water pour

THE MARCH OF STATES

Of the Ia states which have ratified
the prohibition repeal amendment none
has afforded more encouragement to the
repealists nor chagrin to the drys than
Iowa. At last the corn belt is definitely
in the wet column.
Although California and Virginia will
certainly ratify the amendment next Tues
day to complete the sweet sixteen" the
next date of strategic Importance is July
IL, when Alabama goes TO the polls. In
that state the drys will put forth their ma
jor effort to break the solidity of the lower
South and to force postponement of ratifi-
cation by 50 states until 1884 when they
expect to be able to consolidate their fore
eS.
The Literary Digest poll last year in
dicated Alabama's dislike for prohibition.
But il should be remembered that the
state was never bone dry by popular
vote OF legislative enactment prior to ma
tional prohibition
II has several cities of relatively heavy
voting strength.

ELECTRICITY BELOW STAIRS

To the home-owner, one of the most
interesting of the power industry's exhib-
its at the Chicago World Fair is that show
ing electricity at work in the basement
There is no furnace and no coal bin
in this modern basement. Instead, there
is neat cabinet which controls tempera-
ture all year round, maintaining it accord
ing to the preference of the family within,
irrespective of the temperature without
Next to this is modern home laundry
Complete with washing machine, cabinet
dryer, power ironer and ironing table for
hand pressing. All apparatus has been
scientifically arranged to require the mini
mum number of steps in performing hous-
hold tasks
To the man of the home, this base
ment is boon. The space once needed
for coal storage becomes the house work
shop with lathe, circular saw, jig saw, drill
press and so on. A clever innovation in
this little workshop is new type of multi
pie outlet for the connection of such de-
vices as the soldering iron or small sanding
machine. This is in reality an outlet strip
running conveniently along the work ia
BILE in which outlet slots appear every ten
inches.
Best of all is the fact that modern
Easements of this kind do not belong in the
exclusive province of the millionaire. They
can be equipped for sum that is very
small indeed in comparison to the new
standards of efficiency, cleanliness and
comfort they give the home-owner

One of the heartening aspects of the
country's condition now is the fact that

The trouble about sending somebody

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

The tendencies from the early
part of this day are astute and
practical, but later they take on
an element Of self-indulgence. II
this nature is carefully trained
there is the making of a worthy
person, if the disposition is not
given over to license. In this lat
ter case, it is liable to lead to do
mestic unhappiness. Guard care
fully against any desire to break
away from a perfectly straight
path in life. for such impulses are
easily intensified.
