One person out Of every ten of those employed in the
United States draws his or her pay from some govern
ment unit, according to a recent report of the National
Civil Service Reform league. More than 100000 persons
are on Federal, state and local p~ayrolls, and SO percent
of all the tax revenue collected in the United States goes
to pay their salaries. The total cost of S4,000yOO,OW a
year for the administration of public affairs is nearly Z
percent Of our estimated national income at present.
Seven cents out of every dollar earned by productive
workers goes to pay the non-productive.
The number of these government employees is in
creasing instead Of decreasing. One single new pernan-
ent agency of the Federal Government, the Social Secur-
ity Board, has announced that it will employ 11,675 per-
sons during the next year, and that is only a beginning.
Our whole political party system is based upon put
ting party workers on the public payrolls. All efforts to
eliminate the number of tax-eaters fail in the face of the
desire of politicians in power to strengthen their local,
state or national party organizations. The politician who
stands the best chance of being reelected to any office
is the one who can put the largest number OF his follow
ers on jobs at the taxpayers expense. Competence counts
for less and political usefulness for more under such
conditions.
Doubtless we must have government, but beyond
doubt we can pay too high a price for it.

The dream of a great motor highway from the north
ern border Of the United States to the southern tip of
South America is rapidly on its way to realization. The
road to Mexico City is nearly completed. Work has been
begun by several nations south of Mexico. Our Federal
government has offered to give 100000 to the govern
ments of Guatemala, Houdinas, Nicaragua and Panama,
to build bridges for this Pan-American highway.
To the United States, and particularly to our young
men Of ambition and enterprise, this new tie between
North and South America is a wide door opening on to
new frontiers. The greatest opportunities for the pioneer
ing spirit which made America what it is, are to the
south of us. Never before has there been such a feeling
of friendliness between the nations of South America
and our own country. The Pan-American Anyways has
done much to promote this feeling.
Americans are welcome as never before in the vast
undeveloped regions of the Southern Hemisphere. Where
once the people of the Spanish-American republics
looked to Germany for the development Of their natural
resources, to Great Britain for their capital investments
and to Italy for their new population, they are now turn
ing their eyes to the United States. American motor cars,
American electrical equipment, American shoes, Ameri-
can commodities generally, are gaining new footholds in
the South American market, and Americans Of spirit and
energy are made to feel at home.
There are still great unrealized opportunities in our
own country. But in the pioneering fields which appeal
to the adventurous, South America today offers Ameri-
can youth great opportunity.
Next November you will be surprised to hear how
many of your fellow citizens knew how the election will
turn out.
Beautify P~lentywood by making your own home
more attractive. You needn't wait on what your neighbor
does.

Congratulations, Class of SO

Graduation time is here again, and next week an
other class of P~lentywood high school seniors leaves the
institution to take their places in the world. May we be
the first to congratulate the class of 1886 on the compile
ton of their high school work.
Paradoxical as it may seem, with social and cultural
advancements of the past two decades recognized and
respected, the world of today is little different than when
students of the class OF Sc began their daily lessons in
the first grade of elementary school. Reverberations from
a titanic conflict then rocked the foundations of economic
structures, and, as now, international relations were
strained by threats of conquest and imperialistic agrees
sion.
One encouraging fact is significant, however. Unlike
students in many nations of the world, the youths who
graduate from our schools this spring to assimilate into
society through the channels of business, professional
work, the arts or further education, may be assured THEN
endeavors will be unhampered by dictatorial suppress
sion and RECOMMENDATION. All will have an equal opportun-
ity to make the most of their potentialities. This country
of free speech, free press and liberty for all is one of
the few remaining nations on the globe which offers its
youth unbridled expression of its thoughts and motives.
The youth of America are awakening to a con-
seriousness of world affairs and how to face them. The
graduating class of Plentywood high school is among the
vast throng of future citizens who will shape the ma
tons destiny in years to come. Among other things, they
will be forced to consider the causes ard effects of war;
it is invariably the young men of the nation who make
the supreme sacrifice. They must analyze, in view of
betterment international economic, political and social
relations, as well as conditions within our own borders.
And they must with the clear realization of the ultimate
price, discount the palliatives of foreign propagandists
who would undermine the principles of freedom of the
land in which they were born.
On the eve of the class's graduation, we again extend
our sincere congratulations. We are sure the same spirit
of helpfulness and cooperation which have made you
outstanding as a class in the Plentywood high school
will make you citizens of whom Plentywood may well be
proud.

WARM WEATHER AWAKENS
GERM LIFE

Truly a household staple is the bot.
tie of tincture of iodine. Each family
should see to it that this friend of
mankind is newly replenished and
kept within easy reach. What with the
extra garden work, house cleaning and
the like, small wounds are rather COM
mon, and from these, if unattended to
promptly, may arise trouble ranging
from mild infection to the deadly tet-
anus 1t is always wise to take no
chances.
Never mind about the brown stain
caused by the application of the drug.
Id rather see a patient spotted all
over with an effective germ-killer than
to be called to attend one small zone
of angry "strep" infection. The advent
of mild, warm weather is most GER
tainly an awakener of germ life as
well as plant life.
A small roll of good adhesive plaster
of the very best make, should be in
every medicine cabinet. Upon the &C.
currence of the scratch on the hand OF
fingers, Immediately swab it with tine
ture of iodine. If the remedy is not
near at hand, and application is thus
delayed, wash the member with clean
soap and water to remove possible
particles of foreign matter, dry gently,
and get the iodine. Make a thorough
soaking application. When dry, apply
a strip of clean adhesive to stay on as
long as there is no pain under it. The
size of the adhesive should be gov
erned by the size of the wound.

W. H. Gottlieb of Antelope was in town the first of
the week.
The school grounds have been leveled and plowed

to plant a tree and look after it.

The new power plant will be in full working order
about July l. Work is being pushed rapidly and thought
that the use Of day and night current will be turned on
at that date.
Contractor Almberg has started the work of erecting
the new Fishbeck auto garage which is to be located on
the corner of First ave. and Jackson 81. near the Farm
ers store.
Prospects seem to be very good in our city for the
future. Already a large number of dwelling houses have
been erected here during the past month and several

done. That is the date when the two
cents-per-mile fare takes effect. For
years | have been paying S4.65 for d
single trip, or $3.50 for a round trip, to
travel between my New York office
ard my country home in Massachus-
cts. The distance is 140 miles. Now the
fare comes down to $3.50 each way.
The railroads have accepted the new
order from Washington under protest,
but | have an idea that it is not going
to be as improbable as they fear.
There are more people who would like
to travel ard don't w motor cars
than there are car owners. It costs d
lot more than two cents a mile to run
IN automobile. It's worth the differ.
ence, of course, TO those who are able
to pay for the independence of motor
travel, but, after all, they are a small
minority.
HOUSING low cost
Out of all the talk and efforts at
Washington to provide low-cost hous-
ing, something practical seems to be
emerging in Senator Wagner's housing
bill. It is easier now for the family of
moderate means to own its own home
than it ever has been. The movement
now is for better homes for less money.
Perhaps we will come some day to
the general use of "prefabricated"
homes, which will require little local
labor to erect them on their sites. We
are not ready yet for that, however,
with our largest percentage of unem-
ployment among the workers in the
building trades. Factory-built homes
would not take up much of that un-
were ready to produce their model
houses.
CONVICTIONS -. now lacking
| heard a great preacher say the
other day that the main trouble with
human society now, is the lack of firm
convictions, particularly among the
young. 1t struck me he had put his
finger on the root Of much of our
trouble.
In, the turmoil of conflicting ideas
and policies nothing is easier for the
human spirit than to lose its anchor
age. 1t takes courage and character to
hold fast to time-tried, elemental
truths, and it requires understanding
intelligence to measure new ideas by
the scale of the old truths.
That so many young folks seem to
have no firm convictions suggests to
me that both the churches and the
schools have fallen down on the job.
There is too much liberation of COM
promise between what is right and
what is expedient.

carry the election. There are 211 ell
ectoral votes in the Is states which are
regarded as doubtful. In some OF these
states the shift of only a few thousand
votes from the Democrats to the Re-
p~ublicans. compared with 1882, would
suffice to carry them. They are: New
York; Connecticut; New Jersey;
Maryland; Ohio: Michigan; Indiana;
Illinois: Iowa. South Dakota; Nebras-
ka; Kansas; Wyoming; Colorado and
Idaho.
The COP Problem
Republican politicians studying these
figures are, naturally, more concerned
about the agricultural West than about
the industrial East. The Republicans,
however, must carry New York to
win, while MIR Roosevelt could be ell
ected without il if he could carry three
or four of the larger Middle Western
states in addition to those of which he
seems to be assured.
The nominations for President and
vi ce-President and the framing of the
Republican platform will be done with
a constant eye on these figures. The
Party's candidates must be men who
have the best apparent chance of win
ming the support of voters in the ag-
ricultural states without being offens-
i've to the voters of the Eastern indus
trial states, while the platform must be
progressive enough to please the ag.
rarian West without being radical
enough to offend the conservative East.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that all the recent and most ac-
curate polls of political opinion indi-
cate that the Presidents greatest
strength is in the big cities and the
western farming districts. Nobody is
talking yet about any possibility of
any of the states of the Solid South"
going Republican.

AIRSHIPS 49,.

AIRSHIPS practical
l got up at five o'clock on the morn
ing of May 8 to see the great airship
"Hindenburg' come in. Like a huge
silver fish, shouted against the pale
sinking moon and pinkly irradiated by
the first CLEANS of the rising sun, it
was a spectacle to give anyone a thrill,
as it circled the great towers of Man
haitian before heading for its port at
Lakehurst, New Jersey.
Sixty-two hours from Germany t.
New York with more than so passen-
GERS and several tons of freight, was
the "Hindenburg's" record on its first
crossing of the Northern Atlantic. It's
smaller sister, the Graf Zeppelin has
been making regular round trips be-
tween Germany and South America
for seven years. | hope the establish
ment Of regular North American air
service will result in a revival in this
country of interest in lighter-than air
craft. Only Isl modern dirigibles have
ever been built and not one of them.
in commercial service has eve crashed
or injured a passenger.
fIONEEk . oil the air =.
l saw the very first public flight CT a
dirigible ever made in America. That
was on July A, 1904, when Roy Knab-
enshue piloted Capt. Tom Baldwin's
California Arrow in a race for 4
prize offered by the St. Louis Worlds
Fair. He won because nobody else en-
tered the race. Except for short flights
in France by Santos Dumont and the
Lebaudy brothers, nobody had ever
before succeeded in steering or pro-
polling a balloon. 1t was four years
later, 1908, before the first airplane
flew in public.
Few people remember that the
United States Government was the
first to buy a dirigible airship for mil
itary use. That was in 1905. After the
wal we got a couple of zeppelins from
Germany and one of them, the Los
Angeles" is still in the naval service.
The two big ones that we built, the
akron" ard the Macon both
crashed, and those accidents gave a
setback to the development of air nav
igation in this country.
l don't see any reason why VIC can't
build and navigate airships as we'll as
the Germans.
