Too great, most vf us believe. ‘And many more of us hava no doubt that the cost could be tremerfdously reduced if duplications of service in city, county, state and nation were eliminated, consolidations of activities were made and true efficiency sought, instead of exploitation of taxpayers and enlargement of public serv The total cost of governing the people of the United States is almost eight and one-half billions of dollars a year. In order to obtain a somewhat comprebensive idea the figures will have to be reduced to every day terms. On a basis of forty million workers in the coun try, whose gross earnings are sixty billion a year, this means that the burden of government on eye man and woman in business or professional life. including the two million persons who are on the public payrolls in nation, states, counties, cities and other municipalities would be about $220 an- nuall If they should contribute labor instead of dollars, every worker would give as his or her share more than seven weeks Jabor sry year. Every week every one of us would work approxi mately one day without pay as our contribution to the cost of preserving life, liberty and the pursui( of happiness under our intricate and far*flung sys tem of government. Estimates are based upon the latest complete , that for the calendar year 1921, and as com- ared with 1 the figures would rather be un- der than over the mark if we were presenting fig- ures for the present moment. The figures for the year named show the total of public servants in the United States to be not less than two million. As to the cost of the various forms of govern- mental activity, a summary for the calendar year follows: of maintaining nment e the Federal $4,666,671,594 Cost of ment “ss : anes +. 1,008,540,232 Cost of maintaining 253 municipal governments in cities of more than 30,000 inhabitants ........

It will never go down with the American people that there is any justice equity or even fairness in rail rates that cost intermountain folks as much” or more than Pacific coast folks on shipments from the] east. The railroads are again applying for fourth section relief in the matter of rates affecting) the inter-mountain territory, and upon this sub- ject the Spokane Spokesman-Review unburdens its mind thus: “When the interstate commerce commission de- cided against the application of the transeontin- ental ilroads for permission to make sweeping rate reductions to the Pacific coast terminals | while maintaining the high rate levels to the in-} | terior, the hope was expre sed everywhere in the | broad intermountain regign that the rallroads | {would accept the decision in good spirit adjust| | themselves to the transportation law of 1920 andj give the interior communities a square deal. | “Tbe Spokesman-Review regrets that it was a vain hope, a delusive expectation. The Transcon- | tinental Freight bureau, agency of all the trans continental lines, has served written notice on the} officers of the Intermediate Rate association that) “the transcontinental lines will immediately pro-| |ceed with the preparation of proposed rates to! terminal points, which will be later submitted to | the interstate commerce commission for relief} from the fourth section of the transportation act.” | “This is a renewed effort at discrimination | against the interior. The obvious purpose is to} | harass interior communities with a threat of re newed and prolonged litigation before the inter-| state commerce commission and in effect, to say} to the interior: ‘You see, we have the power to/ put you to renewed expense, effort, uncertainty and anxiety. Don’t you think it would be better for us to come together and work out a compromise?’ |_ “By ‘compromise’ they would mean abandonment by the interior of its stand on the law and assent All the coal Hd Wortle Is Sorer Than Ever at Prohibition.

Secretary Ford points out in his bulletin, ‘has discussed this question at great length and is of the unanimous opinion that this is no time for the railroads to seek a conference.’ put these reduced rates into effect: let’s see how schedule and let's see if the new rates do not attract for the railroads a fair share of this traf- fic, in competition with the boat lines. “Tt is a further fact that a well directed move- ment is now under way among the owners of the boat lines to advance water rates. After a confer- ence with Chairman Lasker of the United States shipping board an agreement was reached to put each boat line under a $25,000 bond to adhere to the increased conference rates. “The transcontinental lines would like to rush the interior into an ill-advised ‘compromise’ to ac- cept higher and discriminatory rate and then, when the boat lines had abated their present severe competition, hold the interior to the compromise and continue the discrimination along the old, un- just lines forbidden by law and disapproved by the interstate commerce commission. Their pur- pose is to lure the interior away from its present strong base of law and commission decision. If the Intermediate Rate association should yield to these blandishments it would discredit itself with the public, with congress and with the commission; it would weaken its own righteous cause and would find itself in a+ poor position, if necessity later should drive the interior to a renewed stand for justice, “The course of the interior is too plain to be mistaken, It should stand on the law and the decision of the commission, and should press with renewed vigor its demand upon congress for an absolute, unconditional long and short haul law.
