Oregon THE PRESIDENTIAL VETOES • Congress appropriates the money necessary for conducting the affairs of the government of the United States. That money comes from the pocketa of the people. The president has the right to vfe- to an appropriation bill as a whole but he can not veto an objectionable item of expenditure in that bill and yet approve the remainder. Presidents are often called upon to approve appropriation bills that con tain items of expenditure that are very obnoxious to a great class of the people. Hems which they con sider prejudicial to the welfare of the country as a whole, that serve out little purpose, and that are forc ed into the bill at the last minute upon demand ot some powerful poli tician who has an ax to grind. If the president disapproves the bill because of the one objectlonul item he jeopardizes the affairs of the government, for without funds' the government can not function. On the other hand, if he approves any portion of the bill he must ap prove all of It, including the objec tionable feature. While we are changing our budget system we should advance even fur ther and expand the veto preroga tive. The president should not- be held personally responsible for conditions that are above and beyond his con trol. RELIEF IN SIGHT? R . A . Browm on, M gr. It a settlement of the Irish ques tion is made that will be reasonably satisfactory to both sides It will bi one great relief not only to then but to the people of the United States as well. Our country today is practically divided into two camps on the sub ject— a minority of ardent champion of the Irish cause, and a majority who believe in letting countries or the other side of the water, nianag. their own affairs without interfei ance from us. . It is a source of uneasiness to a great many professional politicians, who want to keep in the good graces of their Irish constituents, yet fear to alienate the support of those in the other camp. It keeps them wiggling and squirming in an at tempt to say something and yet at the same time say nothing. We have had one great division of principal in this country. We 'di not want another. The Irish question can not be ami cably adjusted any too soon to suit our Uncle Sam.

PHONE 111 H E R A L D MUZZLING COMPETENT CRITICS Admiral Sims who was reprimand ed by the secretary of the navy for his famous speech In England, has broken out again—fortunately. In a Fourth of July speech he calls attention to the fact that officers of the army and navy are forbidden to criticise publicly any feature of our system of national defense. The result of their Bilence. declares the admiral. Is that we are In a per petual state of practical defenseless ness, and the vital point of tjils de- fenselessness is carefully kept from the public at large, who might them selves criticise it they were cogniz ant of the actual facts. Public criticism serves to bring to light the weak spot of every sub ject under discussion, but in order to expose undesirable conditions a person must first have a thorough knowledge of his subject. It is admitted that no one can pos sibly understand the subject of na tional defense better than the army or navy officer, whose life work it is, and yet they are utterly forbidden to discuss such subjects. As a matter of fact, the civilian heads of departments in Washington, appointed for political reasons and without previous knowledge or train ing are loath to have their mistakes aired in public by men who know more than they do. That is all very well for the de partment head who is endeavoring *o head off adverse criticism of hlm- eif and his department, but it is poor consolation for the tax payer vho pays for th;se mistakes. Whatever ntay be the right or the wrong of the admiral’s famous pecch in England, he is unquestion- .bly right in ‘d lls instance. More competent criticism and less ifficial and congressional bungling is greatly desirid. H erb ert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, »ay»: V “ I have no information that leads me to believe there will be any reduction of coal rates this season." Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, says: f “ I have taken up the question with the Interstate Commerce Commission and they informed me that they do not anticipate any leduction In coal rates in the immediate fu tu re ." E. Morris, Chairm an of the Central Freight Ass’n.says: ? "U n d e r existing conditions, no general reduction in the freight rates can be Justified or made effective.” The above statements from men who know should dispel the expectation that the present level of freight rates on coal will be lowered this season. Any furth er delay in buying on this account, therefore, can mean nothing but trouble. The coal mines cannot produce and the railroad cannot transport a year’s coal requirements in four or five montns. What is sought by coal operators, railroads and dealers, and what is for public welfare is a normal demand and movement of coal—Not a delay till winter and then an overwhelming rush.
