Earn-, :! 00P ' lll tlio way in government is not to lx cofused with parsimony. 'i here is an economy that really saves money, and there is also an economy that is costly and wasteful; and sometimes, in our haste to get the former, we get the latter. i Thero is a certain large city in the middle west that is trying valiantly to live within its income. It keeps its budget ; y t Jicaten In Chicago t it (llli-ACO.

When sufficient men are assigned to the job of preventin.i crime and catching crooks, the traffic force is eiippled; many , lives nre lost on the streets, traffic moves slowly and the business men The mhiCi qualified Us seconil iclilry for the fliarler finulH in .18 many catno when Moriift, Ala., eliminated t'oetlr d'Alene.

When extra police are transfericd to the traffic squad there are not enough let to prevent crime; hcldups break out, roblterics and burglaries Ix'come common nnd the city, again, is the loser. ; It is the same in other branches of municial government. Kxpenditures on the water supply system are kept down; seme day there will be a serious breakdown, extremely costly to fix. .'The street paving budget is sharply pruned; as n re nult, many streets arc in atrocious condition, and every mo torist in the cityjjays the price in repair bills. Economy in government is a much-to-le-desired goal. Ilitt we should never make the mistake of being parsimonious. Ivometimes the most economical thing a city or state can do ia spend sensibly. 300 Reds Put To Death in Canton CANTON. China. Apr. f.
