State Institution Budgets
VALLEY City TimeS-Recordl

The requests of the various state
institutions fer increased appropria-
tlons brings several things to mind
as one reads the list of askings which
total little over $4,000, 900, more than
double the amount granted for the
past two years.
The first Of these things is that
Governor Lange. used his power to
cut the appropriations far below the
figure set by the previous legislature.
Legislators saw clearly the need for
economy and made some severe re-
ductions in the budgets of the sew
eral institutions. LANCER, in the
flush Of his new-found authority. and
seemingly without regard for essen
tials. took an evident delight in slash
ing the figures set by the legislature
10 such an extent as to hamper SER
lollsly the work Of practically all Of
these institutions for which the state
IS responsible. A reasonable policy
toward them would seem to be wisely
aware Of this unjustified attitude of
the ousted governor and action to re-
store something of what was taken
from them without the sanction Of
the people will receive, we think,
general support.
The second thing is that the need
1or economy, which IS still present,
Snould be recognized by the elimin-
alton OF state expenses in activities
which are in no sense important as
compared with the care of the help
less and unfortunate, and as compar-
ed with the training Of young people.
One Of the worst features Of the Lam
ger regime was that at the same time
LANCER was mercilessly cutting ap-
preparations for schools and for state
hospitals he was able to find the
money with which to pay good sal
aries to beer inspectors and the like.
The general feeling was that he was
generous when it came to paving
men who could be used to build poll
1lcal fences. but exceedingly eccno-
mical when it came to remunerating
trained people who have given their
llveS to caring for boys and girls and
Tor the sick and unfortunate. His
action IS black mark on the history
OF the state which will never be eras-
ed. Much money is asked Of the leg
islature for some state activities which
at their best are unnecessary and
which at their worst are q nuisance,
True economy would require that
savings should begin with the clip
ping of these items, not with inter
ference in the vital expenditures for
support Of institutions which have To
40 with fundamental needs.
| The third thing is that the leoisla-
tors are going to have a hard time
finding the reasonable way out Of the
dilemma which faces them. and
everybody should be ready to take q
reasonable attitude toward the mat
ter. This is no time for plunging in
the matter Of spending state money
and the legislature will have to deny
some OF the requests. since tie states
income cannot possibly co.er all t,.at
5 asked. The mater Should b, talL.
ed over with legislators calmly be.

Society Has Lost Its Claim to
Cultural Leadership

One Of the minor calamitieS Of the
year, little noticed by a needless
world, seems to have been the drop
ping of Elliott Roosevelt, son of the
president, from the rolls of the Bos-
ton social register.
There was time when this would
have been q bit of sensation. A
generation ago, or more, society
spelled itself with capital S, and
the decrees of the inner circle were
matters Of importance. One of the
stock tales in American folklore had
to do with the newly rich man whose
wife and daughters worked them
selves to FRAGILE trying to "get into
society"
But American society has changed,
along with the rest Of the nation.
Nobody cares any more who's in and
who isn't; and the change has not
come so much from shifting eco
nomic conditions as from the frivolity
Of the self-elected upper class which
has sought to exercise social leader
ship.
Society" In any land, is supposed
to have responsibilities as well as
privileges. It is supposed to repre-
sent the best that its country can
display In the manner Of gracious
and cultured living; to provide lead
ership In statecraft, In the arts, in
letters, to set the tone for the rest
Of the populace.
But these are just the points at
which our upper class has failed us.
Cultured and gracious living? Well,
American society in recent years has
furnished us with some of the sor-
riest lawsuits any man could care to
read about. After going close to the
limit with the Stillman and Rhine
lander divorce cases, 1t handed us q
Vanderbilt squabble over custody Of
a small child.
It was SO lacking in penetration
that Mike Romanoff could impose
on It; 1t went for any kind OF foreign
title down to and including the
Mdivanis.
It made grand opera a social reg
lister toy, found itself unable to fl
nance 1t and finally had to call or
the general public for help. It put
on . nossy yacht race with the Brit
ish, and so staged it that its after
math was remarkably like that of q
raw-decision prize fight.
Tor such reasons as these, the word
society" is not as impressive as It
used to be. The social historian OF
the future will find one of the most
interesting points about the present
era the fact that it had an upper
class which failed to perform any o1
the upper class traditional functions

Washington

Washington, DEC. 6.-The impend-
ing naval race will cost the taxpayers
SO much money that they at least
ought to know what they're getting
for it.
They won't find out In the official
reports from Washington or the Lon
don preliminary naval conference.
But here's the situation:
Japan demands naval parity with
the United States and Britain be-
cause she intends to have free hand
in Asia. She Is going to dominate
China and plans commercial expan-
sion over q wide sphere.
Although In case of war she Is in
no danger Of attack by an American
or British navy acting alone. she
fears that the two English-speaking
nations might some day merge or
threaten to merge their fleets
against her.
Such q combination now would
mean q 1913 ratio against Japan.
Parity would mean only q los ratio
and Japan, thanks to her geographic
al location, would feel fairly safe with
that. So she plans to bust the 5-5-3
Washington treaty.
You can just forget the story that
Japan's demands are inspired by ma
tional pride.

OPEN DOOR BIG ISSUE

Our navy IS far from strong enough
to cross the Pacific and successfully
attack Japan and no one has yet
proposed an expansion program which
would give US that strength. (Wheth-
er We would need Z navy three or
five times as strong as the Japanese
to fight SO far away from home is q
matter Of argument.)
Hence. parity for Japan wouldn't
essentially change the situation.
State department folks privately
agree with this. except for the in
sistence that the SIS ratio acts as .
certain check on Japan in her raids
on China. Maybe you hadn't no

NINE. CURIE RITES
WILL BE SIMPLE
o-Discoverer of Radium Died
Yesterday, Martyr to Cause
Of Science.

BY the Associated Press.
SALLANCHES, France. July 5.-A
simple funeral was planned today for
Nine. Marie Curie, who died q martyr
to the cause of science.
The co-discoverer Of radium, physi-
clans said, had accumulated radium
rays in her system during her expert
ments and these contributed directly
to the illness which ended in her
death early yesterday.
Shortly before she died Nine Curie
directed that her funeral be a simple
one, in keeping with the life she
led, although honors had poured in
upon her. including two Nobel prizes.
She will be buried beside her hus-
band. Pierre Curie, who died in 1906
when struck by truck, his death
came shortly after the discovery Of
radium invaluable in treatment OF
cancer, had been announced.
Mime. Curie. who was &c, had twice
visited the United States to receive
donations which aided her in carry
ing on her scientific work.

KEITH'S NEW
FILM is VERY,
VERY SERIOUS
Brightness of Situations
Lost in Intense Act
ing of Stars.

The woes of couple 10 years mar
ried might be made into a very ac-
tive and clever comedy, or at least
something of less serious timber than
the screen Transformation of Vim
cent Lawrence's play, Sour Grapes, "
now showing at R-KO Keiths' under
the title Of Lets Try Again"
Although the lines, spoken and por-
trayed by two of our best British
accented actors, are oftimes clever
and interesting, there is a tendency
to drag them along until they lose
a great deal of spontaneity. Never
have these two starring actors OF
"Cavalcade" looked less like they
were interested in each other, nor
has Give Brooke looked more like
he needed a downright good shaving,
and Diana Wynyard, who has an ex-
tremely difficult physiognomy to
photograph, been found SO difficult
in close-ups.
Yet, despite these difficulties, the
film does conjure a certain amount
of interest by reason of better lines
and the staginess with which the en-
tire thing is presented on the screen.
There is a great deal more Stagecratt
displayed in the directing Of Worth
ington Minor than there is screen
playcraft. which tends to slow the
action by narrowing it to the limits
of a stage and not utilizing the full
powers of filming.
Mr. Minor himself adapted the play
to the screen and one would think he
has built the movie around the
verbatim lines of Mr. Lawrence rather
than rewritten them for movie
technique.
1t is rather a serious situation when
two people who have been married
exactly 10 years get the idea that after
all they are unSuited to each other
and that perhaps they should obtain
a divorce. 1t is only an idea, for hav-
ing married young, both are yet in
their late twenties and early thirties
and are. therefore, we presume, given
the right to change their minds as
many times as they like, which they
do. Thus everything comes to a per-
feet ending.
BY rights. the situations should lend
themselves to brightness and vivacity,
but both Miss Wynyard and Mr.. Brooke
play their parts with such deliberation
as to make one wonder really whether
or not they are seriously interested
even in the reconciliation.
Summing up the film as whole, 1t
appears in the light of being woven
in. around and for emphasizing British
stolidity and elaboration, which, if
understood, could be found interesting
and amusing, and perhaps clever.
