THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER T. 1884

Committee, which made 50 much hail
stand up BY it, revelations early thi,
fall, Is now dead broke.
Loaded with new sensations aftea
further months Of exploration and
excavation, the investigating sena-
tors, headed by Nye Of North Dakota
will resume hearings Dec. 1 and cal
before them q new batch Of celebrat-
ed practitioners In the Iron, blood
and profits' racket.
But Its investigative staff, deci-
mated to wisp Of Its former strength
by depletion Of funds, will be SERVING
without pay through December.
Just before and during the first
hearings In September the commit
tee staff consisted Of 70 investigators,
80 clerical workers, and q group Of
FERA workers at the New York o..
flee.
There remain Secretary Stephen
Raushenbush and six other inyestiga.
tors and q half dozen secretaries and
stenographers. two Of whom are about
to 60 on half pay. Even the coloeed
messenger has been released.
At the next hearings youu learn
that American manufacturers Of ma

The committee also has been edg.

politicians In connection with muni-
lions operations-and some Of those
boys may be on the griddle, too.
But the committee has only begun
the task assigned to It. Hampered b.
lack Of funds and personnel, It has vt
to plunge Into the secrets Of certain
other industries-steel, for instance
which maintain powerful underoover

Budget Confusion
A Bad System


The District budget recently submitted to Congress offers
convincing evidence that the present system of preparing that
document does violence the fundamental principles Of healthy
administration of the cty's financial affairs
The present system creates confusion prevents long
planning of city improvements unnecessarily compcates the
local tax situation and unwsely creates either surplus
deficit in the citys funds.
The lies primarily in subectng the Districts estimates
to the Bureau of the Budget Federal agency engrossed in
national fiscal matters.
That agency allows the condition of the Federal Treasury
to dominate its views the expenditure Of purely local
funds No better example Of that could be found than the
budget for the fiscal year 1885.
With President Roosevelt striving to keep the Federal
deficit down. Bureau Of the Budget applied the same
ideal 10 District estimates Economy is always desirable
in government and ordinarily there would be complaint
about reasonable economies in the local estimates but this
occasion the budget would deprive the local Of
needed funds though those funds would be available
The Bureau Of the Budget although has supreme control
over expenditures in the District budget before its submission
10 Congress has no control the District tax rate
The cannot recommend increases decreases
in the local tax rate
is therefore not in position to make effective for the
payer the economies which may bring about in the local
government.
Since the only purpose Of the economies to the
mayer money it is obviously absurd to have the economies
wrought by agency which cannot suggest that the
lower of government be reflected in the bills
On the whole the consideration Of the local budget by the
Bureau Of the Budget good purpose but does

Naples

many people just dash through
Naples on their way to Rome
and give it but scant attention.
But there is much to see and
to do in the city by the bay,
and there are loads Of perfectly
grand places to visit, all nearby.
Railroad, trolley, bus and local
steamboat services all join Ma
pies with the villages and is

Annual Festivals
Although Naples has been
cleaned up and has gone mod
ern, much that is charming
and picturesque in the life Of
the people has remained. The
annual San Gennaro and Ma
donna del Carmine festivals
and the pilgrimage to the sane
tuary Of Montevergine are still
held, in all their color and
beauty, and are all well worth
watching. The railroad time
between Naples and Rome has
been speeded up and there is
q new direct road that has
cut the time Of the journey to
two hours. And always there

Quoted themselves accordingly.
Santa Claus, Ind, has settled
back into the easy humdrum
of her normal existence with
80 or 40 letters and postcards
a day, a rattling good run of
the mail for Postmaster Jim
Martin and his faithful help
mate, Ma Martin. The great
rush Of the Christmas and New
Year holidays, with their 10000
letters a day average, is well
past, and Jim and Ma can now
take their earned repose, Sc
cure in the gratitude of their
country and in the affection
of possibly a million children.
Million Yearly
The State of Indiana has
achieved, one way and another,
many remarkable things in the
past few decades, and turned
out not a few first-class men.
It produced Gen. Lew Wallace,
Meredith Nicholson, Booth
Harrington, George AIDE, John
McCutcheon and his brother,
George; James Whitcomb Riley
and not a few others in tune
with the infinite. But one Of
it's most striking achievements
was in persuading Santa Claus
to transfer his postoffice ad-
dress from the North Pole,
Arctic Circle, to a tiny hamlet
in Spencer county.
And it came to pass before
many years that when the
Christmas holidays approached
Santa Claus, Indiana, became
the busiest postoffice in the
world, considering its size and
population-half a dozen cot
tages or so and perhaps hun
dred folks living in them. The
postmaster, Jim Martin, has
held down his job for 80 years,
and it became a job almost too
stiff for any one man, plus a
good woman, until Uncle Sam
provided him with an electric
cancelling machine.
Every year, for a period Of
three weeks covering the Christ
mas holidays and well into the
new year, Jim and Ma handle
a million pieces of mail, though
at other times of the year, of
course, 100 letters and postcards
a week is a pretty good run.

ing the same type Of county
plan.
Experience has proved that
these halfway measures offer
temporary or partial relief. To
the extent that they reduce the
number of unnecessary county
offices and enable the State to
resume some of the functions
which have been delegated to
counties, they are steps forward.
But until county government is
abolished, State government will
lack authority commensurate
with it's responsibility, and the
reform Of local government will
be slowed up.
This national movement to-
ward the abolition Of county
government is one Of the direct
results of the economic depres-
sion. It has made the people
North, East, South and West
"taX conscious" It is arousing
them to the knowledge that the
continuance of an archaic
system o. county and local gov
ernment is breaking the firanc-
'ial back of the taxpayer.
Relief Needed

fessor of political science in the
University Of Michigan, has

incubus which the mud-rO0d age
has fGstened on him.
According to the signs Of the
times, 1884 is going to be a bad
year for governors and legisla-
res who turn a deaf ear to
the demand of the people that
county government shall be
polished and local government
emancipated from the grip Of
political racketeerS.

all Of us not to think too much.
I, myself, haven't had much
trouble in this line since I gave
up worrying over transmigration
of souls. I worried over that
perhaps IS minutes once.
But a man named Friedenthal
(never heard of him) went to
work and made things harder
by figuring out a ratio of brain
weight, body-weight and longev-
ity, which he called "the cephal-
iZation factor" POSSIBLY he
heard it wrong and meant "civ-

expressed by the formula brain

Now, as the capitalization rae
tor rises, so does the natural

brain in proportion to the pro-

To the year 1888, the verdict
of history will award the palm
for starting oX-cart government
toward the slaughter house.
In the year just ended a
ma n-wide movement was
launched, under progressive
leadership, to modernize "our
archaic local governmental Or
ganizations, once referred to by
President Roosevelt as belong
ing to the ox-cart age"
Surveys and studies Of county
and local government, mainly
by official commissions, were
made in nine States: Arizona,
Delaware, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire, North Dakota, Texas, 1ll1-
nois, Mississippi and Minnesota.
Surveys Made
Before 1888, surveys carried
out under the leadership of Gov
ernors or official representative
organizations of citizens resulted
in recommendations for county
or local government by the leg
islatures of Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri, New York, Ten
nesSee and Wyoming.
Legislatures of 13 States have,
in recent years, considered meas
ures for the consolidation OF
cities and counties.
County government has rightly
been described as "the dark
continent of American politics"
is badly in need of a surgical
operation. And the only oper-
alton which will be perma-
nently effective appears to be
amputation. Owing to the fact
that county government is one
of the powerful factors in our
present political structure, its
abolition depends upon the or
ganization and informing OF
public sentiment. Professional
politicians will oppose abolition.
But the tide Of public senti-
ment is running so strongly
against county government, that
Governors and legislatures are
compelled to give the matter
their attention. Various rem
edial measures were enacted
last year by States in different
parts of the Union.
Texas adopted a conStltu-
tional amendment granting
home rule to counties of $4,000
or more population. Ohio adop-
ted a similar amendment for
all counties. Nebraska adopted
a county manager enabling act.
Minnesota enacted legislation
authorizing the consolidation of
counties.
In one county in California
and in two counties in Virginia,
the people voted a county man
ager plan of government under
which they will get rid of many
county officials.
Forty other counties in 10 dn-
derent States are now consider

think about it. I know what it
weighs, all right, but I won't
tell.
So I guess that I'll just have
to wait and see how long I
live, without having recourse
to the capitalization factor. But,
what I don't understand is,
if feeble-minded people die
earlier because they wear their
brains out with too concen-
trated thinking on subjects
which are beyond their grasp,
wherein do they differ from
Mr.. Prudential, who certainly
worried a lot about the cephal-
iZation factor?
Granted that Mr.. Frieden-
thai had a better mental equip
ment to wear out, why didn't
he wear it out just the same?
My inclination would be to
avoid thinking entirely, whether
it be with feeble-minded people
or Mr.. Prudential, and just
see what happens. I'll bet I
outlive them both.
