At this time the country can ill-afford to lose its faithful servants and it is with regret that the resig- nation of James W. Good of Iowa is received. In this connection the New York Tribune says of Mr. Goo “James W. Good of Iowa, who resigned yesterday from the house of representatives, will be counted among the notable members of that body. He had served for a little more than twelve years and been for a little more than two years the chairman of the appropriations committee. But he was the first chair- man of the committee after its enlargement to con- form with the requirements of a genuine budget regime and its recovery of the powers of which it had been stripped in the revolt against Samuel J. Ran- dall’s centralized powers. “In his brief term he accomplished prodigies in the way of reducing inflated department estimates of which Randall, Cannon, Holman and other earlier ‘watchdogs of the treasury’ never dreamed. They snipped off tens of thousands here and hundreds of thousands there. Sometimes they slashed in millions. But, as Mr. Good.said in a speech he made in the house on March 4 last, reviewing the appropriations: ‘In the three sessions of this Republican congress we have reduced the estimates of President Wilson and his cabinet by more than $4,163,000,000, Certainly a wonderful record.” 5 “Up to 1919 the appropriations committee had been relaxing more and more its grasp on expenditure. Raa- dall dominated the house when he was chairman. Be- cause he remained a protectionist rather than because he counted the pennies, the southern free trade ele- ment decided to discipline him. They took contrcl of appropriations for the army, the navy, postoffices and post roads and other services out of his hands and vested it in rival committees. Multiple responsibility led to laxity and extravagance. The outside commi!- tees formed alliance with the deparimeits and aban- doned the critical attitude which the old appropria- tions committee had always shown. The house ceased te exercise its true function as an accountant and auditor. Only the vast expansion of government out- lay in war time made it realize the necessity of going back to unified control. “Mr. Good believed that the house should be an agent to restrain expenditure, not to stimulate it. He practiced what he preached. He-contributed largely to persuading his associates to return to budgetary first principles. He made the enlarged appropriations committee a true budget agency, although a budget act was kept off the statute book by President W: son’s veto. He was a reforming chairman, vigila: conscientious and courageous. He cut the estimates much deeper in two years than they had been cut in all the twenty or thirty years preceding. He retires with a record of brilliant achievement and the grati- tude of the public which he so faithfully served.” pe ae GUN TOTERS. Somehow there has always been a close associa- tion of the state of Kentucky with the gun packing problem and the Columbia Record runs true to form when it says: “The problem of what to do with the pistol-toter has not been solved in Kentucky. The court of ap- peals of that state has held that the Kentucky stat- ute depriving him of his franchise rights is unconstitu- tiona) guarantee to every citizen of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The pistol-toter is a men- ace to peace and security. “It is clear that we cannot disfranchise him. But if we cannot deprive him of his franchise, what is more to the point, we can deprive him of his pistol. “Tt will not be an easy task. It will require con- siderable backbone on the part of the lawmakers to the end that more stringent laws are enacted, cour- age on the part of law officers, and back of this as the most necessary part of the disarming program, a self-assertive and a supporting public opinion against the evil that will make itself felt in the court room when the pistol-toter is brought to the bar of justice. “It is an aggravated problem, not because of the Kentucky decision, but because of the apparent growth of the pistol-toting habit and the practical immunity from the punishment the laws of the several statcs provide for the crime until after the gun-packer has pulled the trigger and done his worst.” go ES RSIS ES OR SOMES EE PRODDING THE CONGRESS. It was rather a jolt a self-satisfied. congress re- eeived from the national Republican committee mem- bers, practical and sincere men fresh from the people and who reported what was expected in the way of redeeming party pledges. It is well enough for con- gress to waste weeks and months in endless bunk be- hind an overwhelming party majority but it is not kidding the people who epect and demand results in relief of the domestic business situation. Congress heard little of the “well done good and faithful” from the national committee. Congress re- ceived merited criticism. The majority members were frankly told that the demand of the country is for tax revision and unless legislation of this character is enacted within the next fow months the hope of Republican success will be seriously dimmed in the congressional elections next year. tor | COmMmit-eemen can be believed, cannot wait until fall It was an old’ fashioned tongue-lashing the com- mitteemen delivered to the majority members, and it was brought from the north, south, east and west. The information imparted is that industrial and busi ness leaders everywhere say that it is all right to pass appropriation bills which should have been passed by the last congress; to discuss disarmament; and even to enact budget legislation; but that it is all wrong to do so at the expense of taxation. They want to know what has become of the tax revision program that was being dra‘ted when Presi- dent Harding assumed office, where are its remains buried? Business threughout the country, if the Republican for taxation legislation. The committeemen declare that the revision of the tax laws cannot start too soon and many a congressman has had the riot act read to him by his state committeeman. Stop dilly-dallying and get down to business has been the burden of the chorus. Sidetrack the non-essentials and grab hold of the one big question that touches every home, office and shop in tne/land, and above all do something that coun‘s and do it quick. Three cheers for the national committee. Its heart is in the right place and it has done the people a service by waking up a congress that has been floundering and knew not where it was at. 0 SE sear eed a THE PROMISED LAND. Ho, all ye kitchen brewers and cellar distillers, take heart! Why muss around with hops’ and malt, and raisins and prunes? An old friend has brought us good news. Perfectly reliable too, because he is a Methodist missionary. He comes to us from a land flowing not with pasteurized cream and strained honey, but fairly inundated with the makings of hootch. \Provided by nature and requiring the min- imum of exertion and the treading of tie wine press. . Place the thumb to the nose, wiggle the fingers and tell Volstesd to go to. It is out of his jurisdiction and far removed from his zone of influence. It is in the jungles of Africa where all things grow in .profusion and attain perfection. Anything that grows there can be turned into a hundred and ten proof and the deni- |'zens of the jungle, savages though they be, have yet a skill of manufacture of alcoholic beverages of all degrees of content and flavor. Oranges, limes, sweet potatoes, pineapples, corn, cassavi: root and a great variety of native fruits are readily tuned into strong drinks. White mule and moonbeam and other favorite rem- edies for that arid feeling, common to the period of Volsteadian blight, now sapping the joys of life, pos- sess but a pussyfoot salute compared. to the reaction of many of the jungle beverages. Our missionary friend tells. of the liquor from the cashew tree. Its abundant jiice ferments in a few hours in the sun and the longer it stands the more powerful jit becomes. One libation and oh, boy! the show is on, As the grand and glorious feeling seeks the outposts'of the system the motor nerves are re- versed and the gay tippler is seized with an irresist- ible desire to navigate backwards and perform all manner of ludicrous antics. This is a thrill ahead of anything the science of our civilization-ever produced in the palmies' days of our late flowing bowl. South Africa is not yo far away reckoned in days of modern travel. The cost is im- material. , There is a slogan that fits many other cases, maybe.it will fit this one. Spelled out in letters of the alphabet it reads “‘Let’s Go!” ERE MARGINS IN SHOE TRADE, $ The federal trade commission has reported, at the request of congress upon the state of the shoe trade and from the statement it is learned that the high prices that prevailed in 1918 were increased in 1919 as a result of abnormal conditions of supply and de- mand, both economical and psychological arising from var. Large margins of profit were taken by tan- ners, shoe, manufacturers, wholesalers, jobbers and retailers, whose éarnings were declared to be “out of all proportion to the increase of the cost per uni! The advance in the price of shoes finally terminated by the so-called “buyers’ strike” in the spring of 1920, Failure of leather and shoe prices to Jecline as ex- tensively as did hide prices after the “buyers’ strike” was attributed to “a tendency to base selling prices on actuai rather than replacement costs,” and to the fact that other prices had not declined as much as had faw materials. It is the conclusion of the board that the present prices of hides and skins and the conditions existent in these phases of industry justify a still further de- cline in the quoted prices of leather and shoes. The board states that large profits were made by the tanners, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers in 1918 and! 1919. Earnings of 861 reporting shoe manufacturers, representing 62 per cent of the 1919 production, averaged 16.2 per cent on their total in- vestment. These large earnings of .tanners and shoe manufacturers were due primarily to the fact that their selling prices increased out of all proportion to the increases in their costs of production. Earnings of 32 typical shoe wholesalers and job- bers average about 22 per cent of investment in 1918 and about 31 per cent in 1919. Earnings of 46 typi- cal shoe retailers averaged about 25 per cent in | and about 32 per cent in 1919. The those of the tanners and manufact wide margins of profit taken There was an important imported hides in 1918 and 1919, but the board could not subscribe to th the reason why prices of shoes soared even afte € stocks were available in quan- tity and quotations lower. There was a notable change in the retail demand of 1919 to a higher quality of shoes in spite of the high- er prices exacted. There was a marked demand in 1919 but a slackening followed when the “buyers’ strike” took on nation-wide scope in 1920. eee THE EXILE AT DOORN. The only decent. utterance ever credited to the for- mer Crown Prince Frederick William of Germany is contained in a statement made at Doorn, Holland, on the far heralded subject of the world’s return to nor- malcy. The former prince said: “Without the United States, Europe must again be crushed by conflict-— ground beneath the heel of outbursts of racial hate which cannot be controlled through the mesh of cen- tury old economic and political intercourse based upon the sole consideration of selfish ends. But I believe America will help. “The smell of blood-drenched battlefields haunts me constantly. I am reminded of them by the odor of the peasants’ fields of Weringen. And always do I think of the horror of it all. I want now above all else to be just a plain human being.” Once I was a thorough soldier. But now the thought of force is repugnant to me.” * k The world is concerned but little in any epression from this or any other Hohenzollern. It is satisfied that he be compelled to associate with his own con- science until the end of his days. * To have his right- ly dreams made hideous by the constant marchiny of German youth into the maw of war. To be haunted throughout his sleeping and waking hours by the hor- rors of conflict, of the cries of the mangled, the stench of the battlefield, the rows of crosses, vic- tims of his savage butchery in the name of kultur, Whatever Frederick William says is. not to be trusted, and is of importance only, that it exhibits his latest hypocrisy. The world is done with his’ breed and is moving on to better things and will do its besi to forget him and his works. ya BE TE. Ta tn A permanent blush is now supplied by the beauty specialists.
