CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING SERT. 13th 10,256 FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS. In some circles more than others will attention be attracted by the statement of Representative Good of the appropriations committee to the effect that by the first of next July there will be a deficit .of three bil- lion dollars in the federal treasury if the view he takes of the financial con- dition is correct. That of course doesn’t l6ok good and it doesn’t sound good, and Representative Good well cludes in his statement the advice at there should be the greatest economy exercised in all departmen and believes that this should likewise extend to the people as one of the vs of overcoming the unrest ‘and righ prices. After all the appeals that were made to the people of the country te the national treasury and the persistent urgings to| hurts to which So gener- ous responses were made, is it too much for the people to expect that those in charge o expenditure of support following give unti the government should refrain | from wastes and exercise economy and good judgment in meeting the national requiremenis?

Although it is ‘rather difficult to gnderstand how the seizure of Finme by D'Annunzio and his followsrs can e regarded as an internal affair for ftaly to adjust. since Fiume has not s yet been given to Italy and in fact t has not been disposed of by the peace conference, vet it is quite evi- fent that the existing situation should be straightened out by Italy. That th possession of Fiume by Italian troops will please a certafn slement in Italy can be imagined but he way in which the affairgwas con- summated makes it evident that Italy| = not in possession and the Italian fovernment cannot become possesséed »f the Adriatic city as the result of he seizure. Italy is in fact placed in + pecullar position by this military move and it is therefore not surpris- nz that Premier Nitti should have feclared before the Italian parliaraent ‘he sirongest disapproval of the move mnd =aid that energetic measures rould be taken to end the extraordi- 12ry situation. For TIialy to support the move would be like snapping its fingers in ‘he face of the other powers. It cannot uford to disregard the good will of he ailied nations and as Italians are { @illea coal bin. esponsible for the existing situation L is quite matural tha: Italy should eel calied upoen (o straightén out the anzle. Certainly the other nations ter regardless of that and regardless e high regard in which the poet-soldier who led the mutiny is held there is a duty resting upon Ttaly and it cammot fail to 4 ge it. It must undo the wrongs done by its soldiers. A GREAT CHANCE. In view of the great amount of un- an ambitisus undertaking wherein he proposes a: board members, ‘a third each to the employers, the . empls: general puble, “who shall” serve ‘out pay, have the support of ti and the goyernér and Who. shall be at the state capital five days a week ready to hedr complaints and inves- tigate grievances and through - their efforts make it unnecessary to' eall strikes and thefeby overcome the great amount of trouble and industrial stagnation that is occurring under present conditions. Much was seen in the possibilities of the plan recommended by the New York state branch of the labor fed- eration ‘had it been agreed to &nd carried out, but it never got béyond the report stage. Dnually so has there Dbeen placed much faith in the boards of mediation and conciliation as well as arbitration that have been appointed to meet similar conditions and for like reasons. Yet despite the existence of such agencies for helping the labor situation strikés continue to be called, *production stops and many more than those airéctly involved suffer. Governor ~ Smith maintains that “there is not a single one of these dis- putes that cannot_be settléd before they mean a decrease in preduction.” It is certainly a commendable view to take and it is to be hoped that he can prove through his commission| Scottish War Memgqrial, may be won; that such is possible. There is cer-| over by the eloquent plea of Mr. Lor- imer. tainly a great opportunity before him. AFTER PROVED BENEFITS. Quite in kedbing with what was to be expected is the move that has been made, in Massachusetts for the restor- ation of the benefits of the daylight saving in future years even as they have been enjoyed in the past. “While it is mot to be supposed that the idea of federal legislation upon the subject has been abandoned because of the fact that the supporters of such leg- islation were caught napping by the opponents, it is nevertheless evident that the lack of such a law which would apply to the entire country does not mean that certain sections of the country, states or even cities could not get the benefit of this additional hour of davlight if they so desired. With this idea in view steps have taken in the neighboring state which would give that commonwealth a daylight saving time schedule for five months of each vear, opeming the last| ! anc Sunday in April and closing the last v\fhne heather is equivalent to an offes | Sunday in September.
