EASTERN SOLICITUDE FOR POOR LO The government is rushing to the assistance of Lo. The survivors of the wonderful race which steadily has been pushed ever toward the lands of the setting sun are endangered. The vices of civilization pursue this devoted people relent- lessly. Once, and for a long time it was fire- water, the white man’s whisky, which took and held the underhold on warriors of the tribes. Now it is something quite as demoralizing, if we are to} believe the secretary of missions of the Christian Reformed church—and there are multitudes of sane folk who willingly will believe him—it is jazz and the “shimmy” which are stirring the remnant of the Indians to savagery. The acrobatic weirdness of the tangled synco- pations wailed, yelped, pounded, . screeched, screamed, moaned, whispered, chattered and barked from the instruments’ composing a real jazz band is enough to stir atavistic memories in the brains of even the mostienlightened products of civilization. f Yea, this Indian story must be true. Any music that will make a white man yearn to°turn "ape saults on the ballroom floor and emulate the choicé stunts of the prize contortionist, which for women will turn the clock of the centuries back ‘to the free-and-easy hilarity of the cave-dwelling days, certainly is calculated to make even a Carlisle In- dian hunger ‘to scalp his favorite papoose and feel that he personally has the ability to whip the United States, including New York and Chicago. Since the government has been led to consider |hetween friends?” will plead for other suspen- the seriousness of this new internal problem we perhaps may look to hear of the early legal incar- ceration of leading interpreters of jazz. The nation cannot afford to have even such popular and tunefully lovable creatures as they are setting our Indian wards to jazzing and shimmying toward the scalping knife, the tommyhawk and other pro- hibited instruments of former savage amusement. —Cincinnati Enquirer. ae ae PARES cS 2 a MR. HARDING’S CABINET Zero’in occupations is selecting Harding's cabi- net for him. All the great, near great, mediocre on down through the grades, including the com- mon varieties of statesmen and politicians, have been named by the cabinet makers. _It has not been important that those, mentioned have claims of fitness, or political or other claims, the one im- portant point has been that they all be named. This it is believed has been fully accomplished. In the meantime, Mr. Harding is fishing and golfing in Florida and if he has decided upon the list of advisers, who will gather round the cabi- net table, he has not so indicated to the world. The pubtic continues to choose, pick flaws and reject. This has enabled Mr. Harding to devote his attention to other things, like questions of pub- lic policy and replenishing his wardrobe. If the usual Harding wisdom continues in force, the personnel of the cabinet will not be given out until sent to the senate for confirmation on the day he assumes the presidency. The cabinet is certain not to be disappointing and we all can surely abide in patience for twenty- eight days. TIME IS SLIPPING Something over half the time prescribed for the present legislative session has expired. To date nothing more important has been done than shap- ing legislation and determining what shall be- come law and what shall be strangled. It would be better for the state if something like 90 per cent of the proposed bills could be painlessly put to death. Many of them of course will meet their fate in one way and another, and never cumber the statutes. There must be some uneasiness on the part of the house in this very regard if there is truth in the reports coming from the scene of action. The Sihas emphasized the demand, beginning to make eral things. It might be fear of passage of un- popular legislation; and then there ‘is oil legis- lation that is getting away from proper moorings; and firancial legislation or the incurring of finan- cial ebligations, the total of which is growing tall, Further indications point to the belief that may- hap the Republican organization has its own pri- vate fears of portions of the program and their political effect. iat From this distance the wisest advice seems to be, to eliminate the frills from the budget bill, pass it, adjourn and go home. . ERB ris SN HIGH COST. OF-REFORM : “A large number of state legislative-bodies are now wrestling with the problem of how to reduce State expenditures,” observes the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. “Increases in federal taxation, coin- cident with unprecedented economic conditions, itself heard half a dozen years ago, for less costly government to points not below, and not above, state administration, which had its first organized expression in the candidacy of Mr. Lowden for governor of Illinois. Results in Illinois, under new methods, have been so marked as to com- mand national attention and to increase pressure on legislative bodies for reduction in costs of state lines of efficiency. “In some of the states the problem is only the one of reducing operating expenses by lopping off excrescences grown during years when exces- sive appropriations were being grafted on nearly every tree of state. In California, which, a decade ago, elected Hon. Hiram Johnson to reform everything in and connected with the state gov- ernment, the problem is more complex, involving for the administration the raising of many millions more of state revenues, needed to meet new charges against the public purse, without much re- duction in the heavily increased expense of &dmin- istering state government, as reformed, with a vnultiplicity of duplicating boards, commissions, departments and bureaus. A large number of these official bodies were organized during Goy- ernor Johnson's two terms in office, after demon- stration of their uselessness and costliness in other states. Apparently, the California idea is, or was, that methods discredited elsewhere can be made to fit into reforms which have proved their merit by electing their maker to the senate. At any rate, the California legislation now in session, is grappling the problem of squaring expense with revenue without further increasing the highest of state tax rates, has directed its efforts.more to the raising of additional revenue than to’a scaling of expenses. A remarkable struggle in that body, T during which, by grace of reformed methods)jin legislative procedure, the operation of the state constitution. has several times been suspended by resolution, is under way. The administration plan is to increase the special taxes to be laid against banks and public utility corporations, by one-third, and reduce costs of administration only about $1,000,000 annually, to offset the deficit. The Tammany question, ‘‘What’s the constitution sions, if needed, For, as millions of new revenue must be raised to meet a biennial budget nearing $95,000,000, the raise must go into a still higher state tax rate if it cannot be taken out of corpora- tions to be reimbursed in higher rates for public service. The danger of letting the people see the cost price of reform in plain figures is one which must be avoided at a time when, everywhere, people are clamoring against high prices for everything.” es SAVING NEW YORK Having barred smoking among men and low- neck waists, cosmetics and transparent skirts among women at Zion settlement, emissaries have | trom | Little Talks wae!

The senate vote was recorded 17 for, 4 against, and 4 absent. The senate was expected to pass the measure. It plays legislative politics and permits the house to determine the fate of the bill either by amendment or defeat. If by the former course and the usual conference, the real sentiment of the senate is revealed. - The measure is still in doubt and we have yet to learn whether or not we are to have a state police de- partment. 9 TELE AT ASS Hae a The way to disarm in 1920 is to disarm.
