ECONOMY IS SPURNED BY CONGRESSMEN Congress, theoretically, may be for retrenchment. But, practically, in this campaign year, the tendency is to introduce and to push measures which, if enacted into law, would increase the Nation's budget enormously. President Coolidge is having a hard time with this situation. Classes and interests are clamoring for special legislation, the net results of which would be to increase enormously the Nation's budget. There should be retrenchment. There must be economizing and reduction of governmental outgo, if federal taxation is to be cut down. This is as plain as the peaks of the Sierras on a clear day. Taxes cannot be reduced with governmental expenditures increased. Reduction of outlay and reduction of taxes must go hand in hand. A great deal of legislation is proposed for political effect. This is a bane of a governmental system like that of the United States. There is too much refined bribing of voters, on the one hand, and bribing of legislators on the other hand—using the term bribe, not in a legal and outrightly corrupting sense, but in the signification of bartering favors for favors. Members of Congress press legislation that they think will gain favor for them among their constituents. And constitencies lead Congressmen to feel that they must give favors if they expect favors from their constituents. This is pernicious policy and plays havoc with budget schemes which aim at business-like methods in government. There is much good in the world. But it does not get into the sensational headlines. MODEST ESTATE LEFT BY MR. WILSON Woodrow Wilson died possessed of an estate valued at about $150,000. This is very modest, as fortunes are rated today. It is interesting to note that Mr. Wilson entered the MODEST ESTATE LEFT BY MR. WILSON Woodrow Wilson died possessed of an estate valued at about $150,000. This is very modest, as fortunes are rated today. It is interesting to note that Mr. Wilson entered the White House a comparatively poor man. His entrance into the national arena promoted greatly the sale of his books. From royalties on these products of his brain Mr. Wilson derived the greater part of the small fortune which he left. Of interest is it to contemplate the fact that men in American public life who have wielded tremendous power have been men of very moderate means—some of them poor. No man of great wealth ever has occupied the White House. Some of the Presidents have been men of such slender material resources as to be rated as "poor." Wealth is not all. In truth, wealth is not anything, except as it is used aright, for the benefit of others, and not solely for the selfish benefit of its possessor. It is inspiring to American youths to contemplate the fact that men of very limited means rise to high public positions in this country. Government is not master of the people, but their servant. The good citizen should keep his good citizenship working all the time. No advertising is of permanent value which lacks honesty and truthfulness. California's population is in excess of 4,000,000. It will not be long until this is doubled. The Federal Veterans' Bureau should be given a house-cleaning, and it doubtless will be. It is easy to besmirch a reputation. But it is exceedingly difficult to unbosmirch one. Ruthless assaults upon character should be punished, just as deadly bodily assault would be.

Great man: One who happened to be in the front rank in the time of great events. Speaking of symbolism, a tea-pot tied to a politician means the same as a tin can. A friend in need is one you can try it on before taking a drink yourself. With all this oil about, no platform will be much good unless it can serve as a raft. Still, it isn't an unmixed calamity when party expediency keeps congress from passing many laws. The only time a man really yearns for a lodge in some vast wilderness is when he is growing a mustache. A patriot is one who avoids the wrong arguments and buys the right stocks in time of war. People who feel that way should remember that a knock nearly always indicates loss of horsepower. The only universal language that seems to find general favor is the squawk of the radio. An experienced husband is one who remembers his wife's birthday, but forgets which one it is. Regardless of political oratory, people don't lose confidence in banks because one cashier de-camps.

One day he received a bundle of roses, which he at once patched to his lady's love. In anticipation of a friendly visit, he called at the girl's home the same evening, and was not little surprised at a frosty reception. After a pause the girl remarried, frigidly, "You sent me a message today." "A note! I? To be sure, I you flowers; but." "And this note was with bouquet. Do you mean to do it?" And the young man rejoiced "Don't forget the old trousers promised me the other day." Two Scots were staying in London hotel for the first time their lives. When they had shown to their bedroom, one the visitors discovered that they was no soap in his dish, so rang the bell and a chambermaid quickly appeared. "Ye might bring up a wee tie o' sape," requested the girl. The girl looked at the guest open-mouthed bewilderment, able to understand a word said. "Dom it, lassie," thundered irritated gentleman from north, "canp ye no understory plain Scotch?" The main gave a sigh of relief and reparted, to return in a moment with a bottle and glasses.

ALGORAPHS ROBERT QUILLEN ABE MARTIN WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS WILLIAM PHILLIPS The new ambassador to Belgium, succeeding Henry Fletcher, now the envoy to Italy, is a man who, like Fletcher, has grown up in the diplomatic service of the United States. After being graduated from Harvard with the class of 1900, te attended the law school at Cambridge until, in 1903, he went to London as private secretary to J. H. Choate, then the American ambassador at the court of St. James. In 1905 he accepted an appointment as second secretary of the American legation in Peking. The knowledge of affairs he gained while at the Chinese post caused him to be called home in 1907 to be assistant for Far Eastern affairs to the third assistant secretary of state. In 1908 he served short periods as chief of the Far Eastern division and as third assistant secretary of state. In 1909 he returned to London as first secretary of the embassy. Phillips, in 1912, retired from the diplomatic service on leave of absence to become regent of the college and secretary of the corporation of Harvard. But in 1914 he went back to the service as third assistant secretary of state. Then another trip across the waters, this time to minister to the Netherlands and Luxembourg. It just seems as if he couldn't keep from being called back to the state department. March, 1922, found him again in Washington as under secretary to Charles Evans Hughes. Now he is going back to Europe as ambassador to Brussels. Phillips is a native of Beverly, Mass., and is 46 years old.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying HELP STATE WATER SURVEY—Bakersfield California The appeal of the California Irrigation association for funds to complete the survey of the waters of the State under the Marshall plan is one that should meet with a ready response, and for the reason that the solution of the big, vital problem in the future development of the State depends upon the conservation and use of the waters of the Sierra. True conservation and proper distribution must come through a comprehensive plan that shall have in view the needs of the state Marshall plan proposes. A preliminary survey has been made in part. The work was stopped because the appropriation was exhausted. It cannot be resumed until the money is in the State treasury, and in the absence of legislative action, there is but one way to finance the project and that is by contributions. It is thought that such funds as are privately advanced will be returned by the State as soon as the matter can have legislative attention, but if that should not be feasible, individuals and corporations can make no better investment than that of contributing to finance this great work in behalf of the State. The need for the continuation of the survey is pressing. Subterranean water levels are being dangerously lowered, surface water that should be impounded is running to waste, and the whole problem is such that its solution will not wait. The full report covering the completed survey should be before the legislature in January 1925. There is but one way to accomplish that—by private financing. The irrigation association, at the request of the Regional Farm Bureau, has undertaken to raise the required fund. Mr. Barlow, its president, and his associates can succeed only through the co-operation of men of affairs. A thousand contributions of $100 each will supply the necessary money, and it ought not to be difficult to secure the active assistance of that many of California’s well-to-do citizens and vitally interested corporations.
