FOREIGN PROPAGANDA TO AMERICAN ELECTORATE Several Foreign Representatives Have Been Sent Home for Same Practice With the approach of the congressional campaign and the attendant discussion of all national policies there is a noticeable increase in foreign propaganda appealing to the various nationalities in this country and seeking to rally foreign blocs in support of, or opposition to, this or that policy of the administration with a view of electing congressmen in accordance. This is not a new experience to the people of the United States. Prior to America's entrance in the late war this country was subjected to a tremendous foreign propaganda campaign waged by all the interested European nations. This most recent example within the memory of everyone was hot-the first effort, however, upon the part of foreign nations, through their representatives in this country, to involve the United States in European politics or interfere in the domestic policies of this nation. As far back as Thomas Jefferson's administration an effort was made to get the United States in European politics. Citizen Genet, who was minister to this country representing the French directory, sought to embroil the United States in European politics which were then in a turmoil on account of the French revolution. Because he insisted upon making appeals to the people of this country to take sides in European affairs this government asked the French government to recall him. It was not done, so he was handed his passports by the United States government and all official relations with him were stopped. In 1805 the Spanish minister to this country attempted to interfere with domestic politics of the United States. publicans took these bills up for consideration and passage, and reduced by $839,000,000 the amount agreed upon by the Democrats. The estimates for the following year were submitted by the Democratic administration to the Republican congress, and from the amount estimated for the conduct of the government, congress cut $1,474,000,000. The estimates for the succeeding year were submitted by Mr. Wilson's administration, and from the amount recommended as necessary congress cut $1,500,000,000, making an aggregate reduction of $3,913,000,000, or within about $60,000,000 of the amount necessary to conduct the government for the present fiscal year. The revenue bill recently passed reduces the present taxes about $818,000,000. If the reductions here referred to had not been made in the estimated expenses of the government as submitted by Mr. Wilson's administration, instead of a reduction of $818,000,000 in the taxes, there would be an increase of $3,900,000,000. It is frequently said that the cost of government is too high; that extravagance exists. Well, the cost is high; but I do not thing extravagance exists in many places. As far as possible, we are reducing the cost in every branch of the government. It is higher than it should be, but that is due to the obligations, which have come down from the war, that have nothing to do with the cost of present activities. As these obligations are cleaned up, costs will be reduced. The Republican party has made a good start. It came into control of the congress in 1919. The expenses of the government that year were over $19,000,000,000. The succeeding year the expenses were $7,500,000,000, and in 1921 $6,500,000,000, and for the current fiscal year, 1922, which ends June 20, next, the estimated expenditures are $3,034,000,000.

Because he insisted upon making appeals to the people of this country to take sides in European affairs this government asked the French government to recall him. It was not done, so he was handed his passports by the United States government and all official relations with him were stopped. In 1805 the Spanish minister to this country attempted to interfere with domestic policies of the United States and also to influence our foreign relations. He gave out interviews criticising the administration and had published articles in anti-administration newspapers at the time. He was handed his passports. The next minister who got in trouble represented Great Britain. He had no sooner landed in this country than he began to publish propaganda criticizing the administration and had published articles in anti-administration newspapers at the time. He was handed his passports. M. Constantine Catacazy, the Russian minister to this country during the administration of General Grant started propaganda in criticism of this nation's policies in connection with the settlement of the Alabama claim. He pursued the same tactics as other foreign ministers had in conducting such propaganda—issuing interviews to newspapers, making public speeches and generally attempting to create sentiment against the wisdom of the policies of the administration then in power. He was saved being dismissed by a visit of the grand duke of Russia to the United States at that time. Upon the departure of the grand duke he took the Russian minister with him, although the Russian government had been notified that we would hand him his passports in case this were not done. The next foreign representative to interfere in American domestic affairs was Lord Sackville-West, British monster to the United States in 1888. During the presidential campaign of that year he wrote a letter to an American citizen in criticism of the domestic policies of the United States, and especially of the action of the Republican senate, which had rejected a treaty that had been formulated between Canada and the United States. This letter was given wide publicity in October just before the election. For interfering in domestic affairs of this The Republican party has made a good start. It came into control of the congress in 1919. The expenses of the government that year were over $19,000,000,000. The succeeding year the expenses were $7,500,000,000, and in 1921 $6,500,000,000, and for the current fiscal year, 1922, which ends June 20, next, the estimated expenditures are $3,034,000,000. That indicates a reduction in cost, doesn't it? Why does it still cost so much? The answer is simple. We have $975,000,000 interest charges, $381,000,000 sinking fund charge, and $489,000,000 of expense connected with allotments, allowances, compensation, vocational training, hospitalization, insurance, and payments to the dependents of dead or wounded soldiers who fought in the late war, amounting in all to $1,845,000,000, no part of which existed before the war. We are reducing expenses from day to day. The first three appropriation bills which have been presented to the house this session make a further reduction of $48,000,000 over the estimates, and this policy will be continued until the end of the session. GETTING RICH Mary Pickford's income for two years was $1,123,625, according to the court testimony in New York. The average unskilled day laborer in eastern steel mills, making 20 cents an hour, would have to toll 2265 years to earn as much as Mary gets in two years. Salaries of movie stars are almost as great marvels as the actual moving picture invention. The tremendous incomes of movie stars illustrates a point that should be indelible in the brain of any one trying to get rich. This is the point: If Mary Pickford, for instance, appeared on the stage and hal only one person or a few for an audience, her income would be only a few dollars a day. Such performers were the professional story tellers of medieval Bagdad or modern Japan. Then a theatre is built and Mary can play to a couple of thousand people at each performance. Her income increases abreast of the number she serves. The invention of the moving picture has enabled Mary to appear before an unlimited number simultaneously.

According to by the supervisor on April 19 was Lord Sackville-West, British monster to the United States in 1888. During the presidential campaign of that year he wrote a letter to an American citizen in criticism of the domestic policies of the United States, and especially of the action of the Republican senate, which had rejected a treaty that had been formulated between Canada and the United States. This letter was given wide publicity in October just before the election. For interfering in domestic affairs of this country and attempting to lecture American citizens on how they should vote, he was handed his passports immediately. There is rising resentment in this country at present over the action of representatives of some foreign countries who are now criticizing certain domestic policies in this country, as well as some of its foreign policies, and who are appealing to people of their nationalities and races to take sides in such a way as to benefit foreign nations rather than America flyt. THE DIFFERENCE When the 65th congress expired on March 4, 1919, the Republicans come into control of the legislative branch of the government. When the Democrats retired, there were eight supply bills which had not been passed. If the government was to function, these bills must be enacted into law before the first of July. That made it necessary for President Wilson to call the congress in special session, which he did on May 19, 1919. The amount carried in the eight bills which were not passed by the Democrats before retirement, had been definitely decided upon, and most of them had passed one house. The Re- CULTURE OF PAST AGES Lest we pride ourselves too highly on the achievements of our modern civilization, Dr. Legrain, curator of the University of Pennsylvania museum, has reminded us of certain conditions existing five thousand years ago. Exploring parties sent out by that person would be only a few dollars a day. Such performers were the professional story tellers of medieval Bagdad or modern Japan. Then a theatre is built and Mary can play to a couple of thousand people at each performance. Her income increases, abreast of the number she serves. The invention of the moving picture has enabled Mary to appear before an unlimited number simultaneously. Each member contributes his mite. The total of mites swells into an enormous salary for the performer. The principle behind all this is the application of mass production to human service—the performing of service for the greatest number of people. The more people you assist or entertain, the greater your income. Often you comment along these lines: Einstein, a super-scientist of the sort that appears only once in centuries, makes less money than the inventor of some trifling thing like the Eskimo pie, ice cream cone or safety pin. The answer to this is that Einstein serves only a small and limited number of customers—scientists—while the other inventors serve millions, each contributing his mite to the inventor. In any such scheme to get rich, don't forget the importance of doing something that will serve a great multitude.

Among the things learned about the long vanished populations of that region and their customs, says Dr. Le-grain, are that humanity in those days was not much different from what it is today. It had to deal with swindling contractors and dishonest public officials. Records on clay tablets have been dug up telling of the trials of those offenders and their punishment by being drowned in the Emphrates. Those ancient people also had a banking system similar in essential details to that in effect in America today, continues Dr. Legrain. They had a postal system, a parcel post, circulating libraries and other enlightened institutions. Evidently the people of these times have no good reason to believe that there is really anything original about their culture. In those days they appear to have had most of the comforts of life in which we find the greatest satisfaction. The scientists conducting the explorations over there have not yet found any evidence that in those him, distant days there existed any such discomforts as automobile speed demon, the hold-up man, income taxes, profiteers, bootleggers or Ford jokes.

A VOICE A voice across the telephone can make or mar the day. Be careful of the tone you use, and thing on what you say. Your pleasant smile cannot be seen or known your kindly heart. For people on the telephone are often miles apart. The girls who answer "Central" have a score of lines to mind. Mistakes are sure to happen so be patient and be kind. For life is like a garden where our daily acts are grown And as nature has ordained it we will reap as we have sown. So sow a smale and reap a smile and in the end you'll find That nothing gains more victories than the art of being kind. A PEOPLE ON WHEELS America is a region of magnificent distances. The automobile has reduced those distances to a mere series of pleasant drives. Ghosts of our great grandfathers returning to the glimpses of their native moon would marvel at our progress in speed possibilities since the old stage coach days. Even the shades of our grandfathers recalling their own wonderment at the first steam railroad would be astonished at the facility with which their twentieth century posterity gets over the ground. In the nurseries of our grandmothers, days it was the custom to suckle babes on tales of giants who traversed the earth in seven-league boots. That sort of a story would be a mere commonplace for the babes of today—most of them have "done their forty miles an hour," and not a few of them have heard their fathers relate what they said to the judge for "stepping on it" not wisely, but too hard.

Romance stalks hand in hand with death in this latest road-marking expedition of the auto club, for the objective of the party will be the last resting place of the "lost Mormons" who endtavored to reach the coast in the pioneer days of 1949. Far to the north of Death Valley the club party will seek for the lost wagons of the Mormons, which are reported to be lying somewhere in the desert, guarded by the bleached bones of the mules which dragged them across the burning sands. The object of the search will be the establishment of a route into the desert to be known in that section as the "Lost Wagon" trail. Leaving southern California the club party has pushed far into the desert, according to a report just received here, and is at the present time ploughing its way through Death valley in a resolve to reach the famous Furnace creek ranch, the last outpost of civilization in this torrid area lying hundreds of feet below sea level. All water-holes, the life-savers of the weary travellers, are to be charted by the club expedition and will be marked by metal signs anchored in the shifting sands by huge redwood blocks. Three weeks will be needed by the party to penetrate the heart of the desert, during which time the club signs will be continued into Nevada by way of Goldfield, Tonopah, Gold Reed, Hiko and Alaho. With the return of the club scouts, maps will be drawn by the drafting department for motorists all over America so use in touring the waste places. NEW KIND OF PAVING Orange county motorists and others vitally interested in the construction of highways in this county are watching keenly the preparations being made by the board of supervisors for the installation of a new type of pavement, known as the Willite patented process, which will be given a trial here. According to specifications drawn by the supervisors, bids will be opened April 18, calling for the ground.

Eventually everybody in the United States will own an automobile or know a hospitable friend who is generous with the privilege of his car. Automobiles registered in the United States for the year ending December 31, 1921, totaled 10,467,617. Therefore one person in every ten in this country owns an automobile. New York, as might be expected, leads all the other states with 860,445 of these vehicles. Ohio has 722,000 cars, or one car to every 7.9 persons. Pennsylvania registers 703,000. Illinois has 600,000 automobiles. It is estimated that California is ahead of Illinois with 675,000, or a car for 5.3 persons. Heavy trucking on the state and county highways is beginning to interfere with the traffic of lighter cars in California. These trucks are cutting up the roads to such an extent that less measures are adopted to prevent it another enormous bond issue will be necessary to repair the damage. The alternative, whatever it may be, will rest with the next legislature; but in the meantime municipal and county ordinances must deal with the evil. It is estimated by the Boston news bureau that the time is not far distant when the total number of cars in this country will exceed 20,000,000, and that within six years the number registered will be not less than 15,000,000. At present there are one million trucks using the public highway at the public expense for the private profit of the owners of the trucks. The net taxable income of the state on these cars is enormous, constituting as it does a new source of revenue from a new class of property. In Alabama, for instance, personal net income for the past year was estimated at $57 per capita; in New York it was $330; in Massachusetts $283; in the district of Columbia $380; and $286 in California.

Orange county motorists and others vitally interested in the construction of highways in this county are watching keenly the preparations being made by the board of supervisors for the installation of a new type of pavement, known as the Willite patented process, which will be given a trial here. According to specifications drawn by the supervisors, bids will be opened April 18, calling for the construction of two trial sections of this type of road. One section, a mile in length, will be built between Talbert and Huntington Beach, while another section, one half mile in length, will be constructed near Westminster, from the Huntington Beach boulevard, west, to the railroad crossing. The Willite process, according to County Engineer J. L. McBride, is not unlike the ordinary asphalt, except that it contains sulphate of copper. The claim has been made by those interested in the Willite process that the new type of pavement is thirteen times tougher than ordinary asphalt. Although the new type of pavement has not been used by Orange county proper, the city of Huntington Beach has been experimenting with the Willite process, and sections have been installed on the Harbor boulevard in Los Angeles county. With two sections installed in this county, members of the supervisorial board and representatives of the county engineer's office hoped to be able to maintain a careful check for the purpose of comparing the new pavement with other types of paving used in this county. These tests were expected to determine the question as to whether this type of construction would be used extensively in Orange county in the future. VOTING AIDS GOVERNMENT It is all right enough to teach and to drill foreigners in this country in the rudiments of sound, wholesome, loyal Americanism. This is a good thing to do. And in many instances allens respond excellently. They are ready and willing and eager to learn and to live according to what they learn as to American methods and ideals. But there is an element among Americans—an element far too numerous—which is not as soundly American, in one particular, at least—as are the conscientious foreigners who, learning what America expects of them, proceed to do it. This numerous element among Americans is the vote-shirking contingent. They sit in high places, many of them. They bask in the sunlight of popular favor. They are persons of affairs and of standing—a great many of them. And yet, when it comes to voting, they fail lamentably and are not exemplifiers of good Americanism. For Americanism of the right kind prompts every eligible voter to vote habitually. A great many otherwise good citizens habitually do not vote. It would not be amiss to inaugurate a nation-wide agitation urging all good, decent, respectable citizens to acquire the habit of voting at each and every election. If this could be brought about, its benefits would be reflected in better tone government and the selection of men of better quality to hold governmental positions.
