SPENDING' STATE MONEY' Everybody understands, by this time, the urgent neces sity of wiping out the deficit in the federal treasury. .. Unfortunately, the publicity this deficit has received has made governmental economy seem to be ahnost exclusively a federal affair, ' The part it should play in state govern - ments has been overlooked. ' It is odd that this should be so; for over-spending at the state capital will hit the average citizen much more quickly, and painfully, than will over-spending at Washington. A business man, for instance, may pay Uncle Sam $20 per year in income taxes, and he will object strenuously if this is raised to $30. But his state will collect an equal sum f Vpiij him annually in gasoline taxes alone, and he will hardly know, offhand, whether the gasoline ta,x has gone up or down lately! Similarly, if he owns his home, his state, city and county governments will collect from $200 to $500 a year from him. Care-free spending itt the state capital can add $10 or $20 a year to that sum very easily. Yet he will pay little or no . attention to what his shite legislature does, while he will 'groan piteously if Congress boosts his income tax. All of this emphasizes the value of a survey made recently by the Alexander Hamilton Institute showing how state in debtedness has incroitsed in the last few years. In 1915, for instance, the total indebtedness of all1 the stote governments'. was approximately half a billion dollars. At the end of 1930 it was just under two and a half billion. In 1915 the states' debts amounted to $5.-11 per capita; today they stand at $20.01. Governmental economy, in other words, is something that ' stnte as well as national legislators need to think about. Theso figures show that ordinarily they fail to do so. "If retrenchment is imperatively needed at Washington, the same is no less true at every state capital. LOW-CUST HOADS IMPORTANT ' Bernard E. Gray, Highway Engineer, contributed an in teresting article on low-cost farm-to-markct roads, in an issuo of the Manufacturer's Record some weeks ago. He says : "What a paradox! A country able to produce a surplus of all agricultural products, with prices at give-away levels, : so that the farmer is in distress, and yet with people in actual want in the cities . . . Inadequate facilities for distri ' billion and bad roads are a very largo factor in this situation. "What aits low-cost roads?" asks Mr. Gray. "They are roads surfaced with top soil, sand clay, shale, chert, cinders, gravel, crushed stone or similar materials so placed on prop , crly graded and drained road beds as to give year-round ser ' vice. "During the past few years engineering research and science has developed inexpensive methods of treating these surfaces with asphalt so as to prevent dust and mud, reduce wear and roughness and, at the same time, give smooth, non-skid roadways . . . with low costs. As traffic increases, it is necessary to add only a small additional thickness. All preceding work is saved for further use. Employment is given to local labor in the preparation of materials." The low-cost road problem is one which every community . must consider.

Children Need Attention Nlnoty-elght per cent of the school childron need dental attention, ac cording to statistics, Dr. Sweet be HovcB. If children received proper attention there would be no adult dentistry, and It is the- work of the specialist to help dentists In local ities throughout the state to prepare themselves for child dentlBtry, and to educate the parents and the teach er who will bo responsible for keep ing the children s teeth In good con dition. Between tho ages of two and 13 years, a child should receive den tal attention every four months, af ter which they pass tho years of child hood. Dr. Sweet stated. The "four months rule" would be a blessing to tho dentist and to the children, he said. Tho economic phase of children's health was discussed by Dr. Sweet last night following tho dinner at the Sacajawca Inn at 0:30. Seventy-five per cent of the absences from school and 75 por cent of tho failures aro duo to HI health and arc responsible for a great economic loss since tho children who fall because of 111 health must bo re-educated another year, entailing a great expense to he state. Dr. Sweet believes that since seven out of every 10 diseases enter through the mouth, that a clean oral cavity, which Incudes tho mouth, ears and nose, would decrease tho numoer oi Illnesses which would In turn de crease tho number of failures and re-, educated children, putting money In-' to tho state's pockets, which could bo expended for child health nurses; and other Improvements. Children can be taken caro of over, ten-year period for prevention atj one-half tho cose necessary If they j aro taken for curatlvo treatment, he 1 declared. I Dr. Sweet held a practical clinic today In tho office of Dr. A. M. Mgoxo In tho Sacajawca annex, and ; hus been demonstrating methods on children for tho benefit of Eastern Oregon dentists.
