Project in Montana, 80 years from
now. the Palisades Project in Idaho
at the end of 50 years, the Colorado
Big Thompson Project in 10 years
and the Great Central valley Prof.
ect. on which the economy of Cali
fornia so heavily depends, in ~
years.
During all of this time the people
not just Of Montana or California,
but all Of the people will be paying
more taxes than they would need
to pay in order to meet the inter-
est due on the tremendous sums al
ready invested. Also, in the mean
time. the land and the water will
not be developed so as to provide ir-
|rigated farms for veterans or for
anyone else.
Those who won the last war for
us, if they want farms Of their own,
should take heart from the circum-
stance that when these projects are
completed their children will be
old enough to work the farms, al
though the veterans themselves will
be too old to do that. Some OF them
may even be lacking the teeth with
which to chew the food produced by
their children and grandchildren.
The Bureau of Reclamation oper-
ates west of the Tooth meridian, so
that Messrs. Taber and Jones may
believe that their cuts in the In
terror Department will receive the
support of all of those members OF
Congress who represent districts in
the East and Central states. The
members of Congress from these
states will not, I am sure, fall for so
disingenuous a thought. For every

serious injury to the economy OF
the country. But they did not
promise, at least openly, to allow
our natural resources to be wasted
and our people to be denied the
opportunity OF establishing homes
and building security for their fu-
ture.
The American people are not
dolts, even If they sometimes would
appear to be so from the type Of
men that they elect to public Office.
In its report of the Interior blood
letting operation, it was said that
the idea OF the committee was ito
recapture the economy Of 1885,.
Does the reader remember the
economy OF 1882" In that year
there were more than 5000 900 un-
employed in the country and the
national income was some $65, ,000,-
600, 600 instead of the $3.50, ,000, ,000,-

ever have to fight Russia, particu-
larly want Turkey on our side. Can
you imagine house-to-house fight
ing in that country and having to
leap from ninaret to ninaret with
an atomic grenade in your fist?
There is no telling how many
sprained ankles and sp1inters our
boys would pick up.
Now that the Government has
shown a willingness to spend big
money to help stamp out big evils,
let's keep after the people in WASH
ington to spend lesser sums for
lesser evils. As soon as my spats
and cane come back from the
laundry, I am going to Washington,
where I will pick out a nice lobby
and start lobbying for some bills.
Would Arrest Diner Walters.
As q starter, I would like the
House and Senate to appropriate
81 900 to apprehend and bring to
trial those dining car walters who,
after years Of practice, are always
able to serve q cup Of coffee just
when the train Is jolting to a stop,
iurching to . start, or rounding a
fast curve.
Why not q Government expendi-
ture of $500 to be used as a bribe
to get some director to cast
Humphrey Bogart in some other
than a tough man role before we
all die? would like to see him
play the part of a dandified, elderly
gentleman who makes his living
judging cat shows. In fact, I
wouldn't mind seeing him play the
role of one of the cats. Latest
figures show that Nh. Bogart, as
Of April 26, 1947, had killed more
people than live in Schenectady.
That's enough.
Few Americans would object to
the Government spending $1.525.75
for the purpose of stamping out the
practice so many soda fountain GUS
toners have of so spacing themselves
at the counter that every other seat
is vacant, making 1t impossible tor
two friends to be seated together.
Urges Warning Signs in Banks.
Even fewer would mind q grant Of
$205. go If they knew that the money
was to 60 toward the purchase Of
warning signs to be worn on the
backs of those varmints who choose
the rush hour at banks to get
change. The signs would read:
Don't get behind me. I am going
to be here an hour while the teller
sorts me out pennies, nickels, dimes,
quarters, halves, two dollar bills,
and when he is finished, am going
to count 1t all over two or three
times" r= a.4aert
The whole country would approve
a fund ear-marked for the extermi-
nation Of those train, bus, and ferry
passengers who insist upon getting
aboard before departing passengers
are able to get of.
II you have any pet grievances
that you think the Government
should spend money to get rid OF, let
me know before my laundry gets
back and I start for Washington.
I'll be glad to let your Representa-
tive or Senator buy me dinner
while tell him how you feel about
things.

Such expenditures build farms, and
farms build villages and cities and
these have churches. stores, thea

for the products Of the East.
Funds for Studies Are Slashed. q
Nor does this tell the whole story
so far as the Bureau of Reclamation
alone IS concerned. The President
asked for 5000, 600 to provide ex-
pertS to investigate future projects.
This was cut to $125 900 which will
not be enough to liquidate the pres

the Missouri Valley, the Columbia
Basin, the Colorado River and other
projects. For lack Of this prelim-

@. How late in history were ami
mails tried in court for alleged
crimes2-C. c. r.
A. Trial of animals was an an
cient legal custom that persisted in
Europe until recent times. AS late
as 1750 a she-ass was condemned to
death in France but pardoned be-
cause Of good character.
@. What organization originally
sponsored the observance of Army
Day?-B. s.
A. Army Day was originally spon-
sored by the Military Order of the
World Wars. Traditionally it falls
on April 6, commemorating the dec
laration of war against Germany in
1917.
@. How high above sea level is the
weather station on Mount Wash
ington, New Hampshire?-V. E. P.
A. The elevation of this station
is 6,288 feet above sea level. Because
of the many types of weather ex-
perienced there, it is probably the
most important weather station in
the East. Snow is recorded almost
every month and the winds are
the strongest in the United States.
Fogs and blizzards are frequent.
@. May a soldier arrange to take
his car when he is ordered to the
European Theater?-I. J..
A. According to the War Depart
ment, it is not possible for a soldier
going to the European Theater of
Operations to take his car with him,
unless permission is obtained from
the Theater Commander. In many
cases, dependents going overseas
have been permitted to take their
automobiles
@. What was the daily birth rate
in the United States last year,
o. B. A.
A.. Births numbered 3,440,0O0 in
1916, an all-time record. This means
that an average of almost 9,425
babies were born each day last year.
@. When was a persons life first
saved by the Pasteur treatment for
hydrophobia ?-M. Mob.
? A. A young Alsatian lad, Joseph
Meister, was treated on July 6, 1885.
This is the first recorded case of
human being rescued from death
from hydrophobis. He later became
concierge of the Pasteur Institute in
Paris.
@. How many amendments to the
Constitution have been proposed?
S. M.
A. No fewer than 1854 drafted
amendments were introduced in
Congress during the first hundred
years of its existence, and 2,056
others were proposed between 1889
and 1941.
@. Who wrote the Koran?-
K. r. B.
A. The Koran consists of the
words of Mohammed, which were
written down by his first wife and
others. The first complete written
version is attributed to Zayd ibn
Thabit, who had been Mohammed's
secretary.
Q. Why does person weigh less
at the Equator than at the Poles?
j. v.
A. The fact that the Equator is
1874 miles farther from the center
Of gravity than the Poles, combined
with the fact that centrifugal force
at the Equator tends to lift an object
and make it press more lightly upon
the earth, would make a 190-pound
man, for instance, weigh about one
pound less at the Equator than at
the Poles.
@. Are there any animals which
return to the place of their birth
to bear their young?-H. 7.
A. In their native state, reindeer
have this peculiar trait. 1t makes
the MANAGEMENT of herds difficult.

THE PAY ENVELOPE

No theory has been more thoroughly
exploded than the argument that higher
wage rates need to be reflected in the SELL
ing cost of commodities. Since 1889, the
wholesale prices of manufactured goods
have risen 7s per cent. That corresponds
almost exactly to the increase in wage
costs since 1938-73 per cent.
The theory might have had validity had
II included the stipulation that production
per man hour rise along with wage costs
per unit of production. But that has rarely
been mentioned by the labor economists
with one or two distinguished excep-
tiOns. On the basis of the latest available
figures. production per man hour is only
about IL per cent better than in 1889, de-
spite that 73 per cent increase in wage
costs. And production per man hour is un-
der the l94l level.
There il only one real arbiter of pros
perity-and that is the amount of goods
the people can buy. 1t is obvious that
doubling the number of dollars in a pay
envelope does no good if each dollar will
buy only half as much. In the past, we
managed to hold down prices even as we
raised wages because workers and man.
agement steadily increased output per
man hour. We are now seeing what the
reversal of that does to the wage-price
STRUCTURE.
So far. pay increases for most workers
may have offset the price increases. But
If initiation ever gets the bit thoroughly
between its teeth. the purchasing power of
everyone will decline catastrophically. The
| solution is more output to offset the rec
ord wages paid in industry today.

ALL RIGHT WITH US

A charge of manslaughter against the
Rev. Gordon Miller, of Summerville, Ga,
has been thrown out of court.
The preacher faced charges in con-
nection with the fact that one of his flock,
in demonstration of faith, drank lib
eral portion of poison and shortly after
wards passed away. The faith of the
poison-drinking worshiper seems some
what misplaced to us and in about the
category as that of the matchmaking
disciples.
Both practices represent a form of
form of worship that seems undesirable
to us, but personally. we have no objec-
ton to people handling snakes and drink
ing poison, if it happens to be part of their
religious beliefs.

The Citizen remarked recently that it
appears "a be of no avail to warn drivers
who seem disposed to think that there is
NO such thing az death. Determinedly,
they drive at breakneck speed. needless
that death IS riding along with them..
The driver of the motorcycle that
crashed near the Bahia Honda bridge at
midnight Sunday. killing a woman, said
that he lost control of the motorcycle. 1t
was not explained how he lost control, but
usually control of an automobile or a
motorcycle occur when il is going fast.
Neither was it explained how boy
and a girl were killed on the same day in
Batesville. Arkansas. other than to say
that one automobile smashed into the rear
Of another, causing an explosion of the
gasoline tank in the rammed car. Occu-
pants Of the ear. boy of 16 and a girl

Some drivers. given clear road,

registers 10 or more miles an hour. Such
drivers give no thought to a possible blow
out or some obstruction on the road that
may make them lose control of their cars
Whizzing along at that speed, driver
has no chance to save his car should any
type of accident happen. And accidents
are likely to happen at any time. The gas
