POLITICIANS, PLEASE DON'T
READ
Florence Jane Ovens


Now let's talk about them-the
politicians, | mean-in reference to
kindergartens.
How often we hear: There is no
use trying to get a satisfactory Lin
dergarten law enacted in our state;
the politicians would never Jet the
bill pass" We want kindergartens
in our city. but the politicians vote
them down" I'VE had kindergartens,
but this year the politicians side
tracked the appropriation for their
support, so they arc closed"
Now let me remind you about poll
ticians. Whether men or women,
they all were once little children.
Most of them have had sons or
daughters and many of them grand
children. IL you make test, you
will usually find that little boys and
girls hold very important places in
their lives. And yet the complaints
against them with regard 1" kinGt r
gartens is often only ,oO true. Why?
Generally because they do not. un-
derstand kindergartens. When the
women's clubs urge kindergarten
support, the politicians say, THE
mothers want a place to park their
children while they CAD about
When the men argue for kindersar-
tens, the politicians say, 1.-THE wo-
men put them up to it." They expect
every teacher to be in favor of these
classes and say. "Of course, she
wants to feather her own nest In
every case the politicians may be-
lieve what they say.
And if they believe it what would
you expect them to do? - - - Ol
course. Then if you know the real
value of kindeTgartens, would it not Z
be a worth while act to tell those
politicians about it at time when
the kindergarten is not receiving
special attention and so, at a time .
when they won't consider your IN
formation propaganda?
Is it likely that politicians would
vote against kindergartens if they
knew that the kindergarten would
benefit their own children and the
children of their friends as long as
life should last? Why not tell them
some of the things that university
presidents and deans of colleges say?
Why should university men talk
about kindergartens? Even the poll
ticians will realize that they can
have no personal ends to gain. They
talk about pre-grade classes as they
talk about reforestation or the pres
elvation of any of our natural re-
sources.
DR.. Holmes of Harvard Univer-
sity. SAYS: IF school money is to be
saved, the elimination of the kinder
garten is one of the worst ways IN
which to save it. There is no way in
which the benefits of good kinder

Porker prices were generally 5 to
Is cents lower in the initial session

small grades scaling 100 to 100
pounds, brought $285 to $685..
Packing sows were salable at $3.50
to S4.25. Receipts were estimated
at $500; holdovers, 254.
General trade was slow and
around steady in the cattle market,
with a slightly weaker undertone.
Killing quality was plain, while
most steers sold under 81. Few bet
ter grade heifers ranged from $4.25
to S5.85. Receipts were 800
With only little change evident
in the veal market, practically all
classes remained steady with Sat-
urday's average at $3.50 down. Re-
ceipts numbered 600.

most all grades were unchanged at
the previous close. Bulk of eve and
weather lambs sold at So, while few
better grades brought 1925. Bucks
sold at ST down. Slaughter sheep
held at $3.50 to $3.50, while breed
ing ewes were selling at So to 81.
Receipts were 5000.
Asking on hogs at Chicago re-

ing 10 to Is cents lower than Sat-
urday. Receipts were estimated at
10000, including 10000 directs;

Expenditures Exceed Those
of Any Peace Time
Year in History.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. July 2. The
United States government ran in
the red" to the extent of nearly S4,-
600, 000,0 900 in the 1884 fiscal year
which ended Saturday Expendi-
lures exceeded those of any peace
time year in history.
Treasury officials estimated Sat-
urday that the output Of federal
funds in the past twelve months
had exceeded $1,000, 100000, the
heaviest spending program since the
twelve months ending June 80, 1919,
when more than $4,000, 900 900 was
spent in the final effort to win the
World war
Against the $1,000, 0000 900 expendi-
lures Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau could count only
about $3,100000,000 in government
income, leaving deficit of $780,
900 900. This was the fourth success
sive fiscal year the government has
not earned enough to pay its way.
U. S. Gets Huge Profit
More favorable were figures on
the governments S2,00C000,00
sterilization fund which has paid
the government a few hundred
thousand dollars profit in the two
months Of its operation. Less easy
of measurement were results of the
governments aggressive monetary
policy which eliminated last Febru-
airy in the reduction of the weight
of the gold dollar to IS 5-21 grains
and more recent the ambitious sill
yer metal buying program.
Included in the governments ST.
900 100000 expenditures was 1858,
5O,9OO spent for retirement of Sc
curities. leaving net expenditures. of
about $6,65000O,O0 On this basis
the net deficit would be around 3d.
100000 900.
Although the governments in
come was only $100,000,000 under
the estimate of $3,259 ,938,756 set by
President Roosevelt in his last bud
get message, net expenditures, eX-
Guiding the sinking fund were
about $4,000, 100000 under the esti-
mate of $10,569967 set by the chief
executive.
Public Debt at Peak
Despite this years huge deficit
which has carried the nations pub
lie debt to a record peak of ST.
OO8, 336.O65 from $22,638, 672, $50 on
June &c. 1888. and slightly above the
war time peak, even greater eXpen-
ditures were contemplated today by
Secretary Morgenthau for the new
fiscal year.
If present estimates are carried
out, it is expected the government
in the new fiscal year will spend
$40, 100000 and receive in in
come $4,25O,OOO 900, making a fur
ther prospective deficit of $685.
100000. 1t would send the public
debt to the outside limit of $31, 1884,
100000 set by President Roosevelt.

OF NEW
WHEAT SET RECORD
Kansas City Receives 1000
Carloads of Grain.

BIZ United Press
KANSAS CITY, July approx
imately 1000 carloads of new 1884
winter wheat rolled into Kansas
City today, establishing a record
movement for the year.
The golden grain WIS shipped
from country elevators in the
southwest. Much of the crop is
destined to stop here to be stored
in the huge grain terminal. Hun
dreds of carloads will journey north
ward to the milling areas of the
Great Lakes.
Arrivals of new wheat here last
week totaled slightly more than
5000 cars, or double the figure of
the preceding week and about 1900
cars more than year ago. More
receipts were handled than in any
week of the 1888 season.
Reports from Enid, Okla, showed
100000 bushels, or nearly one
fifth of the Oklahoma wheat crop,
already shipped.
The new wheat, according to Of
fetal inspectors, tested good and
with high protein. The quality
was good despite drought.

PRODUCTION
NEARS ALL-TIME HIGH
Continued Rise Brings Output
Within 1.6 Per Cent of Record.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Energy
production last week registered its
third successive weekly increase and
now is at a point only 1.6 per cent
below its all-time high for the
week, Electrical World reports in its
issue of June 30.
Together with another rise in
carloadings and sustained strength
in bituminous coal production" the
publication says, these figures
would seem to indicate that indus
trial activity and movement Of
manufactured goods might carry
over the summer without a general
business slump.
More than confirming the worst
fears Of those who forecast drop
in steel output, however, 20 per
cent decline in production in that
industry has occurred. This news,
apparently well discounted in mar
ket circles, was greeted by an APP
preciable advance in general stock
prices. Bonds continued to show
strength, and commodity prices, ex-
hibiting mixed trends, generally
maintained their high levels.

CHICAGO, July Cooler tenn
