liar when you tell the truth,
There is not the slightest disposition on our pari io
minimize the debt France owes to us, the dollars and
cents debt, that is, that can be paid, and concerning
which just now there is so much speculation.
France owes the money and France wall pay, of
course.
But sometimes it is well to understand some point
of view other than our own and we are wondering if
the French mind today does not go back to those stirring
Colonial times when the “ ragged provincials” were fight­
ing the trained regulars, “ the proud red coats,” and
when France stepped in, after a long series of set backs,
just ifi time to help us when help was needed most.
A rereading of the French participation in our War
of Independence furnishes plenty of material upon which
to wax sentimental in this day. No matter what the pur­
pose back of it let us acknowledge that without France’s
assistance there would "have been no Yorktown and that
without the capturing or surrendering of Cornwallis there
would have been no peace on our own terms.
It would seem that the close relationship, traditional
as it is, between France and the United States would lead
us to some better conclusion to the present debt parley
than one of uncertainty and unfriendliness.
The story of the two nations’ sympathetic under­
standing for each other was first related in the days of
our birth and it has been added to in the generations
since. We have done our share. What is there about it all
that prevents*a friendly solution of the debt!
Perhaps, we have here the familiar conclusion of all
debts. Debts make enemies. Debts break friendships of
a lifetime and smear relationships of the generations. No
matter. We should understand, in this instance, another’s
point of view.
THE TROUBLE AT WASHINGTON
In the memoirs of the late Vice President Marshall
mention is made, in rather an amusing vein, of the pork
barrel or the old way of appropriating moneys for pet
schemes.
Mr. Marshall refers to the common belief that if a
man steals enough he can go scot-free; that it is only the
moderate thief who ever gets into trouble. “ And as I
watched the appropriations during eight years in the
Senate of the United Slates I concluded that that cause
was utterly foolish which came asking less than half a
million dollars. Small items were scrutinized with a mic­
roscope and large ones were taken as a matter of fa ct.”
And then he recalled three hours of discussion over
an item of $17.50 in an appropriation bill made to a Gov­
ernment employe, who had been injured, and the utter
lack of protest over the following item of $250,000 “ to
investigate and eradicate -something that had already
been investigated, but not eradicated.
Mr. Marshall probably exaggerates, yet th ere’is
plenty enough evidence to justify the statement. Happily,
there has been some improvement in the making of appro­
priations. The system is gradually being refined, hut
therein lies most of the trouble with the way our Govern­
ment money is parcelled out. Politics, which isn’t parti­
cularly interested in the small item that is not hacked by
votes, is vitally interested in the item that has the votes.
The sooner we get entirely a way from that system
the quicker will we Rave for the people the hundreds of
millions of dollars the politicians well know how to lop off
the tax bills.

for city, connty and state government; license taxes of

and other charges which are nothing more nor less than

The majority of all new law« {Missed (and there are
thousands), require additional sums for enforcement. As
an example of how a piece of legislation causes expense,
take the headlight law passed by the last Oregon logisla-
ture. Iturequires certain headlight adjustments for which

fact, in order to comply with the law, the traffic depart­
ment records show that the average cost for 1,000 cars was
$2.07, while numerous individual charges run as high as
$5, $6 or $8.
The net result of the law is that it immediately took
some $500,000 in fees (taxes from the automobile owners

the Washington outfield threw out

Philadelphia critics roasted the

marvelled at tl|e brains and the
