Things To Be Thankful For
We suppose the first thing to be thankful for this
Thanksgiving is that the people who voted for a change are
getting it, and that the promised prosperity insured by
Harding's election is already flooding the land with soup
houses and bread lines in prospect.
The consumer can be thankful that the cost of living is
tumbling and the producer that wages are falling. The
employer can be thankful that labor is now plentiful, and the

There is still pure and un
adulterated love in the
world. Nothing less could
persuade some people to mar
ry what they do.
the farmer that his city supplies are at cut rates, the
butcher that the slump in livestock hasn't been passed on to
the consumer, and the restaurant-keeper that he still charges
as much as ever.
Of course the producers are not thankful for the falling
off in demand, the farmer not thankful that his products can
not be profitably marketed, the manufacturer not thankful
for cancelled orders, the workman not thankful for scarcity
of work and lower wage, and the merchant not thankful for
bargain sales, but each has something to be thankful for as
shown above even if all can not be satisfied.
At any rate, when work was plentiful and wages sky-high,
labor was never more discontented. When the consumer
had his pockets full of gold, he grumbled at the high cost rf
living. When orders were plentiful and profits huge, the
manufacturer growled over high wages. When wheat was
$2.50 the farmer went on a strike for $3. None were thank
ful for prosperity and all wanted a change so they can all be
thankful that they are getting it.
There is however one class who are profoundly thank
ful the politicians who for so long have been outside look
ing in and now expect to be inside looking out. The only
fly in the ointment is the scarcity of seats at the pie-counter.
However, as the joy of anticipation is greater than realiza
tion, and this dark side of the silver cloud is hidden, it does
not mar their thanksgiving.
The High Cost of Militarism
The high cost of federal taxation is due solely to war.
Of the $4,175,820,089 spent this year, only 12 percent or
$481,744,726 goes for non-military expenditures. Sixty-
height per cent, or $2,838,118,400 goes to pay for past wars,
and 20 percent or $855,956,963 is spent in preparing for
future wars.
America has come out of the war with a huge military
establishment costing the taxpayers nearly double annually
what all other departments of the government cost. To
maintain it will impoverish the people and plunge the nation
into new wars. If we join the League of Nations, our large
army and navy will be called upon by the League and if we
stay out of the League, it will be a challenge to conflict
sooner or later accepted.
Or every dollar of taxation, only 12 cents goes to develop
farm and forest, build roads, aid schools, fight disease,
prorrfote human welfare, regulate commerce, enforce laws,
and administer government, while the other 88 cents goes
as a tribute to war. That is one of the chief causes of pres
ent conditions.
Before the war the United States had an army of 5,000
officers and 100,000 men. Now we have an army three times
lis large 17,000 officers and 280,000 men. We are spending
On the navy this year a sum greater than the entire ex
penses of the government, outside the postal service fn 1916
despite the fact that we went into the war to end war.
The interests of the people and the development of the
country are sacrificed to pay for war, past and prospective.
We cannot dodge the cost of wars past and must pay the
debts incurred. But we can save materially by trimming our
expenditures for future wars. There is no need of a big army
and a gigantic navy, far beyond the peace requirements of
the nation.
The military establishment is the great waste of govern
ment benefitting no one but munition, steel and supply
contractors. Besides it, all other waste is infinitismal. All
possible economies on the 12 cents of our dollar that goes
for non-military expenditures, shrink into a negligible quan
tity, even with the proposed budget system.
There can be no feal economy in government, resulting in
a material saving to the taxpayer as long as the nation keeps
preparing for future wars at a cost double that of civil gov
ernment. The first economy to be effected is disarmament
or at least substantial reduction in armament.
Armaments brought on the world war and have saddled
the world with debt. If persisted in, they will bring on
another war. Militarism has always been the curse of the
world and is still cursing America.

onlv stared1 and said nothing: And
then to Sandy's astonishment he
began to scold.
"What's the trouble?" Sandy
Chipmunk called.
"Trouble?" Air. Crow oried.'as he
flew down again. "There's trouble
enough. Why, you haven't kept
your bargain!"
Sandy Chipmunk declared that
he had done exactly as he had agreed.
"I brought load after load of
food to the foot of this tree," he
explained. "Half of it I took for
myself just as you suggested. Of
course I had to pay Frisky Squirrel
for helping me. 1 paid him h-ilf ai
the food for carrying it up to your
house."
"That's it!" Mr. Crow cried
"That's the trouble, you took half
and Frisky took half. Ho of course
there was no food left for ma
There are two halves , in a whole,
you know."
"You must be mistaken," Sandy
told him politely. "There's only ore
half in my hole. I put it there my
self, and I ought to know.'
Mr. Crow looked as if he thot
Sandy Chipmunk must be playing
a trick on him. But pretty soon he
swvf that it was not so.
! "You don't seem to understand
Mr. Crow said. "I don't believe
you've ever studied fractions."
Sandy Chipmunk admitted that
he never had.
'"Afi!" Mr. Crow exclaimed.
"This is what comes of hiring stu
pid people to work for one. Here I
have wasted all my corn. And I
get nothing for it but trouble."
"Corn!' San'dy Chipmunk ex
claimed. "I dont know anything
about any corn!"
'.'Well ,you certainely are stu
pid!" Mr. Crow told him crossly.
"Didn't you spend the whole day
gathering corn for me?"
"No, indeed!" Sandy Chipmunk
replied. "I gathered beechnuts, Mr
Crow."
"Beechnuts!" Mr. Crow repented
"I never told you I wanted nuts.
I'd starve trying to live on nuts;
for they don't agree with me at all.
And I make it a rule never to eat
them. Corn is what I want."

Mr. Crow Scolds Sandy
W'hen he finally reached home,
after Sandy Chipmunk had been
working for him all day, Mr. Crovi
was feeling very pleasant. You
know, he thought that his winter's
food must be in his house. And
that alone is enough to make any
one happy. But what Mr. Crow
liked most about his bargain was
the fact that he wouldn't have to
pay Sandy for his work. He had
said to Sandy: "I'll agree to give
you natr wnat you gatner tor me.
And Sandy Chipmunk had never
stopped to think that that was not
any pay at all. For he might have
gathered the food for himself, and
had all, instead of only half of it.
As It was, Sandy Chipmunk, was
paying himself for working for Mr.
Crow. And Mr. Crow seemed to be
the only one that was wise enough
to know It.
Mr. Crow dropped down upon
the ground beside Sandy Chip
munk.
"Well," he said, "have "you fin
ished?" "Yes!" Sandy answered. - "And I
hope you'll like what I've done. I'll
wait here until you fly up to your
house and look at the food."
"All right!" Mr. Crow told him.
He flapped his big, black wings.
And soon he had risen to the top of
of the tall elm.
Sandy watched him as he looked
