WHEN A SURPLUS is A DEFICIT

When Postmaster General Farley announced
that the postofice operations for the past fiscal
year showed a surplus of over Sl2,OOOOOO, the
country sat up and took notice. Skeptics grunted
that there was some trick about it; that the Amer-
can postoffce could not be expected to reverse It's
immemoria habit of running heavily behind
At last he facts were dug out by some indus
trous doubling Thomas Postmaster General Far
lcv's statement that the department showed sur
plus of $4,000, 900 after making the adjustments
authorized by law turned out to mean in fact
that after the postoffice report had removed from
the expenditures the record of $64, 100000 spent
in carrying franked mail from congressman and
for government departments and for substituting
ocean steamers and airpanes carrying mail. These
items leave for the total operations of the pOstof
flee deficit which the people of the United States
will have to pay in the form of taxes of $52,O0O-
600 to make up the amount that the postoffice
lacked of bringing in as much money as it spent.
But even at that, the postoffice is doing better
of 152OOO,OOO. 1t will for many, many years
continue to run a deficit.
The statement that huge loss is handsome
surplus is merely characteristic Juggling of
accounting that is common in government affairs.
Private business knows that it has to pay its own
way or quit That is the distinctive merit of pri-
vate enterprise. Government business can levy on
the public for what ia fails to make by its own
efficiency.
The post office spook surplus is merely one
Illustration of the fact that government in bust
ness is a bad thing. Instead of extending it still
further, to the permanent destruction of the only
thing on which the country can permanently stand,
that is to say business operations that can stand
on their own feet, and then support the govern
ment in addition government participation in
business ought to be cut down.-Newberry, S. c.,

DO WE HEAR $4,000?
Observer.

Americas top ranker of the designated 'three
most dangerous men, Huey Long, has spoken.
Says he:
mo shall be worth less than $4,000"
He is to perform that in jiffy, in ten minutes,
he says He will write out law on apiece Of
paper, and then all he has to do is to get enough
fellow statesmen to vote his way and for goodness
sakes wel all have $4,000.
That's better. Two years ago we of the COM
mon herd were struggling along on federal relief
and blackberries, in season. Then came a fell
low who was to give US prosperity by putting
stamps on the backs of dollar bills. After that we
were to have initiation, and to imagine that we had
lot of money. Then came the venerable doctor
from our West who offered us. 5000 a month after
off for youngster to get popped up about. But
the age of go. That was pretty good, but too far
now comes Huey with definite figure, $4,000
practically on demand. That's more like some
thing.
But let's be wary, men; this is a first offer
Upton Sinclair will be along presently, bidding,
maybe, $4,000. Perhaps he and Huey'll get to

WORK OR STARVE

Some people are natural born complaners They
are never happier than when they are complaining
about something. There are others who are born
lazy, and they never get over it.
There are people who quit jobs to go on the re-
lief roll; workers who refuse jobs because they
prefer to take small amount from the relief and
be lazy. All kinds of tricks are played to take
advantage. 1t is reported that in one certain
whole community it is almost impossible to get
domestic help because these workers prefer the
easy money from FERA. No doubt favoritism is
shown in many instances. If communities know
Of cases of cheating" these relief rolls and do
not report them, they have no right to kick about
them afterwards
We wish something could be done to scare the
wits out of these cheaters and make them go to
work Work is of the real cures for most diff
fculties. They should be scared as bad as Sambo,
when the farmer caught him in his hen house.
Sambo, telling about it afterwards, said he was so
scared that when the farmer grabbed him by the
shoulder, he said to him: white boy, what you
