Instead of wielding a club and presenting a programme to congress and insisting that con- gress pass it just as he recommended, they be- lieve his attitude to congress on an important issue will be something like this; “Here is a very important question.

To Show With Accuracy Under its present admistration the postoffice department will conduct the business of that great department on a basis that will show in its annual reports something approximating its actual status. While it will probably never be possible to make an exact statement of postal business, as it is possible to show an exact statement of any private business yet the figures in the future will be as correct as business tem and good bookkeeping cau make them. It has been the practice of some administra- tions to manipulate the payment of expenses in such a way as to show a surplus in one year by deferring payment of part of the bills for that year. Ah outgoing administration, for instance, or an administration approaching a political campaign, desiring to the records appear as favorable as possible, hold up some accounts for investigation or for minor corrections and leave these accounts for the succeeding admin- istration or for payment in the succeeding year. Of course, it is not practicable for any admin- istration to pay every last cent of the expense bills it has incurred. It is practicable, however, to let the deferred payments accrue normally, so that they will be about the same in amount each year, or to make an account of expense incurred so that the real status of the posal business will | be known. The plan as adopted is to show the expendi-| tures and obligations for each year as contrast ed with the revenues for the same year. That if the department has incurred a debt which is due in a ain year, it is to be charged as a part of expense even if the amount has not ac- tually been paid. That is a fair and honest way of keeping accounts. « Heretofore it has ben the practice to charge the expenses of the postoffica department at Washington—the office of the postmaster ge eral and his assistants—to the general expen: of the government, just as the expenses of th department of labor are charged. The expense of the department here has not heretofore been charged as part of the expense of running the postal system. Yet, in reality, this is a real and necessary part of the expense of handling mail, just as the general corporation offices ot ara road are a necessary part of the operation of t road. In the fiscal year which cnded June st 1923, the overhead expenses were for the fir time charged as a part of the postal service, There is one feature of postal expense which cannot be exactly stated each year—the rental value of public buildings owned by the govern ment and used by the postoffice. In many i stances the public buildings are occupied ly by the postal service and other branches of the government. Any apportionment of the re tal value to the different services would be but an approximation as, also, would the estimate of the total rental value of the building. Federal buildings are of special design, usually con structed with some consideration of architect- ural beauty instead of usefulness exclusively, and the cost is often out of proportion to actual present necessities, It would be unfair to charge the postal service on the basis of cost of the building and yet an annual statement that does not take into consideration the rental value of public buildings is obviously incomplete. Because of faulty systems of accounting used in the p comparisons of ono year With an- other have been of little real value. With the in- auguration of the system now employed, such comparisons will serve as a basis for determin- ing actual charges in postal revenues and dis- bursements. Honeymoon Stage A friend rushed into the office of James B. Reynolds the other day and told him that eve: body was for Coolidge for president in 192 Cabinet officers were declaring for him, senators | and congressmen and national committeemen were saying nice things about him. There simply wasn’t anything to it, Coolidge was as good as nominated, Mr. Reynolds, who is a former secretary of the national committee, and who managed the Cool- ige for president campaign and has spent some years gaining wisdom in politics, simply smiled at the enthusiasm of his friend and remarked that it was all splendid, but to remember that it was the honeymoon stage. Reynolds described tho present situation in a nutshell. Calvin Coolidge and the G. O, P, are on 2 honeymoon, with everything lovely so far. Relatives of the bride, including Postmaster Gen- eral New, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, Chairman Adams of the Republican national committee and about two score more big ‘figures in the party, are rubbing their hands and allow- ing that Calvin seems a likely youth well brought up, respectful to his elders, kind to his wife and a good provider. If he continues, they guess they will bestow the party’s presidential nomination upon him next year. Bo many big wigs in the Republican party that assumption, Lloyd George’s Tribute The people of the United States will find con- siderable gratification over the tribute by Lloyd | George to the soundness of certain international |policies of the present national administration. Lloyd George is at present paying a visit to this side of the Atlantic. In a recent address he declared that Secretary Hughes’ plan for the settlement of the reparations dispute is “abso- lutely the best hope of the settlement of repara- tions.” Since the reparations controversy seems to be the great obstacle to the resumption of the enterprises and industries of peace, it follows jthat Secretary Hughes has mate the most prac- tical suggestion looking toward restoration of the world to normal conditions, The former British premier is not alone in the estimate he has made of the Hughes proposal. Other eminent men here and in cther countries have approved it with equal earnestness, Our internationalists, however, did not rally to the scheme when it was first put forth last Decem- ber, Their refusal may have been due to the fact that the plan was not of Democratic or Wi i rigin or that it did not call for any » part of the United States or any . Those are the apparent spec- ifications to lief! must con internationalists, Since the Hughes proposal was made in the Idresh at New Haven nearly a year ago, there ive heen repeated efforts to deceive the people of the country as to the nature of the suggestion. jIt has ber widely declared that Hughes pre yosed that the United States select some of the members of a re th commission. He did no such thing. After asserting that it would be wn | wise for the United States to act 1s arbiter be- | cause of the ill feeling that woulil result, he sv ested that if Duropean statesmen gannot agr why should they not invite men of the authority in finance in the! tries—men of such prestige, experience und hon-| jor that their agreement upon the umount to be | paid, and upon a financial plan for working out the payments, would be accepted throughout the | world the most authoritative expression ob: Ile a said, “Lf have no doubt that ished America such a com highest | ission. | There was not the vemotest intimation that |the United States government would select any members of the commission but, rather, the ob- | viously sens’ plan, that the nations to be af- fected by the findings select the men to make the {inquiry and to formulate the report. ; What the American internationalists want, }and what most of the leaders in Europe want is further material aid and not adyi The cancel- tion of the allied debts, the policing of centers of disturbance by American urmies and ships, jand the American collection of the reparations bill, are what they want, and our refusal to rant these desires is what they ha in mind hen they speak of “isolation” and “desertion.” clined to agree with them, but let us see if we |. rticipation by this government in! depo: jon county k ty per of the remain as been pald 1 -|to the county ¢ surer in t of dividends, leaving a bal s would be willing to | #uthorities tt Page St. Patrick LUSK—Rattlesnakes have now keep it.

The rainy weather of last week held up the work for a few days. The yields are very good. On the Clarence Kaser place, west of town, yields of am high as 200 bushels to the acre are reported, while Matt Tomrich, southeast of town, says his spuds are running about 100 sacks to the acre—which means about 170 bushels to the acre, A number of cars have been load: ed out of Egbert, and shipping from Pine Bluffs is starting. Prices vary- Ing from $1 per cwt. with sacks furnished, to $1.50 per cwt, are being paid for the various grades. Those who have certified spuds and have the facilities for holding them will no doubt realize a higher price a fittle later in the season. However, potatoes will make some money, when the yield {s good, even at the present prices, Kinney Acquitted KEMMERER—Joe Kinney, promi+ Cokeville flockmaster, promptly acquitted in the federal court at Pocatello this week. was charged with having violated the Mann act.
