I wish to call attention to the novel Bcheme introduced in Ne vada to set good results from making prisoners work. It ; is worth while because there are by last report 392 prisoners In the Oregon) penitentiary, and probab- V 2000 altogether, mnntv and city jails added to the above. Is not worth while , to make an effort to give these derelicts wholesome employment and pre vent (their further degeneration by idleness? Here is a press state ment; of the Nevada plan: Reno's new chain gang, com posed of "comebacks at the city jail, started functioning recently. Al Pfeffer, special officer, is in charge of the gang, and his answer to predictions that he can not get the men to work is a sys tern whereby a certain amount of work is allotted in a certain time. the taen to be allowed to loaf if they; finish inside the limit. xne result is that the men speed up their assault on weeds and debris in back streets and alleys.' and then sit In the shade, roll j cigarettes and discuss econ omic conditions. - "Also, they get three squares a day instead of the two served to HYSTERICAL PROCEEDINGS world's most economical execu live. The expenses of runnine the White House this year will be approximately $216,S00. This sum Includes the president's sal ary of $75,000; $80,000 for office expenses, consisting of a person nel of approximately . 40 clerks. gers and btenographers and a score of other items snch as tele grams, telephones, stationery, etc.; $36,000 for contingencies and $25,000 for traveling expenses. President Harding is effecting a reduction in expeases in the executive offices in line with the policy of economy which he ha prescribed for other govern men tal departments. One of the great est cuts in expense is that of his own traveling bills. The appro priation? made by the last con gress were based upon the esti mates furnished by the former chief executive. Up to date Pres ident Harding has saved over one-i third of the allowances made for traveling expenses. One of the first things President Harding did when coming into office was to purchase a large automobile for his private use, upon the ground that he did not feel at liberty to use the government automobile ing administration to radically re duce this per capita cost of oper ating the government and to ef fect that end. Is the duty of the budget bureau. FAR EAST DISCUSSION' FIRST. The state department made it clear that although the subject of limitation, of armaments is pnt first upon the program, it does cot necessarfly follow that it will be the first to be discussed. Be cause it will be impossible to ar rive at any satisfactory conclu sions regardEng limitation of arm aments unlesn the vexatious prob lems of the Far East are settled in a manner satisfactory to all in terested parties, it is more than likely that the Far Eastern ques tions will come first in actual dis cussion. An examination of the topics relating to the Far East shows that economic, rather than political, intorests will receive the consideration of the conference. Practically every problem affect ing economic interests in the Ori ent will be duscussed according to the tentative program. Under the head ''Questions re lating to Chfcna" every phase of the Chinese question will be han dled. This involves of course the They are receiving approximately $1,000,000,000 a month in wages. The average pay of the industrial worker today is approximately $1000 a year. The average pay of the industrial worker before the war was a little over $600 a year, which ( shows that wages have not descended . to pre-war levels," The average day wage of the industrial worker today is approximately $3.50. Common unskilled labor earns less than that. The average wage of the skilled workman in the United States at the present time is $1 an hour. OUR GRAIN GOING TO RUS SIA'S FORMER CUSTOMERS. So far as the records show, this is the first year wheat in any quantity has been shipped from the United States to Russia or the Baltic countries. Attention was called to this by the chartering of a ship for the purpose of trans porting 4000 tons of American wheat to Finland. This is due to the failure of Russia under her Bolshevik government to raise enough grain to feed herself, let alone supplying European nations that have always relied upon her.

Trln To Set Record Not since President Wilson led a preparedness march on the great avenue in 191 has the chief executive appeared afoot in any parade in the capital and never has any r resident set for himself so long a trip as President Hard ing will undertake. The war department announced today the make-up of the military escort which will precede the sun carriage on which the casket U carried.! In addition to the regu lars, sailors and marines, ar pro visional battalion of New York and Pennsylvania national guard will share in lh- honors ror the dead comrade.

"The gang will be maintained until the streets and alleys are all cleaned up, at least, and Chief of Police Klrkley proposes to find other work for the idle hands to do."

Instead of pic ture shows, baseball, lectures, preaching, theater plays and vaud eville shows, libraries, prize fights substitue honest work, plain food. a premium for the man who will work as against the slacker, and a part of the pay for bis work put aside for him for the -day of his release.

According to a report just is sued by the treasury department the actual expenses of the execu tive offices for July and August, this year, were 191.803 less than for the corresponding month3 last year. For simplicity and economy, the While House, under the pres ent administration, sets a World's record. To maintain the office of the president of the United States, who 4s chairman of the world's largest corporation, costs each individual in this country two and one-half mills per annum. The annual per capita cost of other departments of the govern ment for the last fiscal jcar wcro as follows: War department. S10.50; interest on public debt, $9-51; payment to railroads un der government guarantee, $C.0C; navy department, S6.19; treasury department, $4.G:.; interior de partment. $3.40; postoffice Ue pattment, S1.2S; shipping board, 11.24; agricultural department, $ 1.1 4 ;y department of commerce, 30 cents; legislative department (the congress), IS eents; depart ment of justice, 1$ sents; state department, 8 cents, and depart ment of labor, S cents. U U the purpose of the Hard- general principles of the open door and the conflicting practices of monopolistic or preferential economic privileges in China. This includes not only concessions enjoyed by Japan but also those enjoyed by Great Ilritain, by which she has control of mining and railroad privileges in certain Chinese provinces. The innocent looking sub-head, "Status .of existing commitments," is really one of the most impor tant subjects to be brought be fore the conference because its discussion will disclose secret agreements and concessions which have not been made public or, if known, are subject to various in terpretations, l naer tnis topic it will be necessary for the par ticipating powers to make vry clear what they regard as definite commitments, which of course will open UP the entire subject of secret treaties and "gentle men's agreements," parceling re sources, commercial and industri al privileges and other economic rights in the Far Kast.
