The barkeeper was probably a very wicked fellow in the old days, much worse than the modern soda fountain clerk but very few ff them had to shake their hair back at frequent intervals. Belgium plans to reduce her standing army to 77,000, which is over 5,000 less than last year. That seems like a small force in that tiny country, but over here a pro portionate army would provide a soldier at everyone's elbow throughout the nation. The Christmas peddler is already busy in La Grande offering "better merchandise, more beautiful gifts at lower prices than you can find anywhere else in the world." Prospects whp realize that lie promises all these wonderful 'things and then keeps from 40 to 65 per cent of the price as his own commission won't ponder the problem very long before shutting the door with the hell-ringer on the outside. It's a good graft, as every college youth who has done house-to-house canvassing in summer vacation can tell you, but it suffers greatly as people become educated to the method. i lay!).

Poets' Corner "HEMtOCK OF ECONOMY" The budget report to congress by President Coplidge curries with it the opinion tlmt governmental economy lias itbout reached its lowest point and that the natural ex pansion of it growing country will produce tho need for increased expenditures in the future.- A surplus is indi cated for this year and another for 1927, but ciittinpr and hashing of operation costs cannot continue, according to the chief executive. Coolidge is probably right, from a practical standpoint. Eliminating bureaus here and discharging officials there can go just so far for efficiency's sake, but no further. And new demands for government activity will constantly i ppear, "the natural expansion of a growing nation" prophe sied by the president. Of course we can continue to 'cut government expense, without due regni-d for government efficiency and the nation's welfare, and see constant tax reduction. Hut that is not a condition sought by the nverage citizen. We want sensible economy and a business like government. An extreme of economy is neither proper nor profitable as a permanent policy. Announcing the probable future inrrease of expenses rather than a decrease, the president needs make but one pledge, and issue but one warning to patronage seeking politicians that the anticipated increases shall be used for the nation's welfare and pi ogress, that no poi k barrel appropriations will become the order of the day, and that expansion shall not Ih undertaken simply to pacify politi cians who have predicted loss of votes as a result, of the economy program. If care is thus exercised in the regula tion of increased expenses, the expression of vnlers nt the polls will not be unfavorable. Coolidge's administration lia.. been marked for its conservatism it has been erit iei.-ei' for many phases of that conservatism. Now lie must guard against the loss of Mich approval as that chaiaeter islic has won. In so doing he will U guarding many of the best interests of the nation. in mimoiiv orot it M:it MNTIIIl.
