Whatever else Mr. Smoot may or may not be, he is not one who is willing to vote for a revenue bill with his eyes shut. In commenting on the proposal to raise $24,000,000,000 during the cur- rent year, Mr. Smoot recalls that last year Congress made appropriations for for some $19,000,000,000 where- as ti total expenditure was only $7,- 500,000,000. There is no question that the government hoped and ex- pected to spend the full amount, but as it turned out the facilities of the country were inadequate to produce all the materials the government wanted. The mere appropriation of money does not build ships or air- planes or guns any more than Mr, Creel’s rhapsodies win battles. How- ever much we extend our production there will alwavs be a limit beyond whith the appropriation of money is useless. Senator Smoot thinks we cannot spend more than $16,000,000,000 during the current year. If that is true, the revenue program should be governed accordingly. Congress will not demonstrate its patriotism by im- posing taxation that is unnecessary despite the calculated rhetoric of certain political candidates. Suppose that we do raise $24,000,- 000,000 by taxation and bonds, and suppose that we are unable to spend more than $16,000,000,000. In that event we shall have withdrawn some $8,000,000,000 from the working capital of the country to no purpose except to invite governmental waste and extravagance. The antiquated fiscal system which now prevails ‘in Washington is in itself sufficient in- centive in that direction without pil- ing up a surplus of billions of dollars. The discrepancy that existed be- tween appropriation and expenditure last year suggests that Congress ought ought now to make an effort to establish something like a parity between them.—Chicago Tribune. —+—0. LET THEM MAKE PREPARATION Some one suggested some months ago that after the War the Germans be required to replace cathedrals and | ' public buildings which they have de-| | stroyed in Belgium and northern France, by tearing down their own buildings, carrying the materials into the devastated countries and setting} | them up again there. This is an ex- cellent and fair suggestion, altho it}; has been remarked that most Ger- man buildings are not sufficiently aFtistic or beautiful to be used to re-|; place the ones destreyed during the Hun invasion. A similar idea war recently out- lined by a resident of Santa Monica, Cslif. It is that ‘the German army, when defeated, should not be allowed to return to Germany, until soldiers and officers alike have assisted in rebuilding the devastated region, en- gaged in the manual labor of recon- struction under the direction of the loeal civil and military authorities.” This would surely bring home to them the immensity of the wrong! they have done. It would come a good deal nearer to expiating their crimes against civilization and ainst their particular victims than ported for all troops in the United posed.
