J . x ' 111 Watch For West's January Sale '. La Grande has been very fortunate in mail service during the holiday rush. In spileof the greatest mail volume in local history, everything was cleaned up on Christmas live the last parcel was delivered along with the lust Christmas card., That's. not a common happening. Some post offices become swamped early in the rush and stay that way until after the holiday has passed. Thojocal office deserves com mendation for an enviable -fr.pril de corps which enabled thorn to give exceptional service. Fourteen- and sixteen-hour days aren't required by postal regulations but the force did it just the same. ' , ', TREASURY STEAM SHOVEL i Senator Smoot, chaiiman of the senate finance commit tee, is" afraid the United States treasury will be picked clean rnd the government bankrupted. That will bo the case, he pays, 'if congress yields lo many of the projects nbw clamor ing for public money. ' ! i Demands for emergency appropriations already amount to about $3,00),0()(),0i(). That, be it bbsen'ed, is over and above the-rcgular governmental expenses. Flood control calls for $289,000,000, farm relief for big aryl undetermined sum, the new naval program for $750,-' 000,o6o over a few years, public buildings for an additional 1 00,000,000, , the Veteran's ISurcau for $ 10,000,000. Then Iheie are all the big internal waterway projects the Great Iiikcs-St. Lawrence waterway, the Panama Canal improve-1 incuts, the Columbia liasin, lioulder Dam, Muscle Shoals, etc.. And oiv top of everything else, there is a movement started for a law to pay a month to 1,000,000 Americans who' erved in the World war. 1 i Needless to say, these demands will not all be granted'. Zealous spenders of public money always ask for more than (hey expect to got. l!ut the pressure is poweiful. It is in 1' credible how many good 'American citizens, eager for gov ernmental thrift oir general principles, are determined to dig into the public treasury with a steam shovel when it! comes to any concrete proposal in Which they happen to be directly interested. Congress is nyt to blame any more than the public, or as much. Congressmen are always being urged by their con stituents to spend money. Seldom are they urged to' save. In the present situation, some projects have merit and some can be listed as necessities. Others, on close scrutiny, come in the pork barrel- class. . ' Flood control, for example, is considered a national nee 'J'here it will be better to spend money for flood "prevention than to lose many times the cost in another disaster. Other things do not have so general an : ppeal. The reclamation projects should not be looked Umiii as being merely addi tional government expense. If properly selected and effi ciently planned, they will reimburse the government. The improvement will pay for itself and cost general taxpayers imlhing over a period of years. For that reason, most peo ple will be more favorably inclined towaid the Moulder Dam ! ! nd Columbia I'.asm expenses than toward new ships ami new post offices.
