Two courses are open to those who disagree One is to bring pressure on State legislators to defeat the Miller plan. This does not promise success because York the Republicans are in control, and in New York the party is ruled by the rural districts, where the opposition to daylight saving is strongest. The other and better way would be to make a determined effort to get regional relief from Cc gress. The most feasible form of daylight saving would be Federal legislation which would apply to all ter- ritory cast of the line separating the Fastern and Central time belts, Such a law would cause far less confusion and in- convenience than the conflicting State laws which puzzled commuters last summer, It must be admitted that daytiglit popular with farmers. On the other hand, the hour difference in time is of enormous benefit to the ur- ban and industrial population. ‘The Eastern Standard time belt tncludes a pre- ponderant proportion of the industrial population of the country. The rural population is only a com- paratively small fraction, In the Central, Mountain and Pacific time belts conditions are reversed and the agricultural popu- lation is predominant. A Federal law, “saving” the hour of sunlight in the Eastern belt and not for the other three divi- sions would work the greatest good to the greatest number and would produce a minimum of incon- venience. Travellers crossing the division line would make a two-hour change in their watches instead of one, as at present. This is the most practical way of solving the problem. Those interested in time reform should eqneentrate their effort behind such a law. a New saving is un- Social note: Among those to accompany Senator Harding’s small vacation party are three Senators, “HINKY DINK” AND “BATH HOUSE JOHN.” ‘ ROM the politically interesting bailiwick of Mayor “Big Bill” Thompson of Chicago comes startling information, There is a prospect of the separation of the Siamese twins, “Bath House John” and “Hinky Dink.” Picturesque nomenclature in American politics is responsible for “Sockless Jerry,” “Pitchfork Ben,” “Old Hickory” and a host of other notables. But never has there been a combination to compare ‘with “Bath House John” and “Hinky Dink.” Their reputation has been as unsavory as their names have been peculiar. For years they have “owned’’ Chicago's First Ward. Reforms might come and go, but “Bath House John” and “Hinky Dink” cared for and con- trolled their own. Aldermen Coughlin and Kenna were returned as regularly as election time came round. A redistricting of the cily*will eliminate one or the other of the partners. If the friendship of these worthies persists, we may perhaps witness strange performances in Chicago. Why would it not be in order for “Hinky Dink” and “Bath House John” to form a compact and take turns as Alderman, shaking dice for the honor this year and then alternating—term for term? WHERE APPLE WEEK FAILED. HATEVER may have been its success in other ways, “Apple Week,” which closes to- day, has been a glaring failure In one respect. The propagandists dut to popularize the apple have failed completely to impress on the retail fruit venders any realization of the iniquity of prof- iteering. As has been the case for several years, the apple is a luxury when purchased on the-“apple-a-day” plan which is supposed to impoverish physic by cutting their practice, Corner stand vendors of fruit are sticking to “short-<crop” and war-time prices for apples in spite of an abundant supply and a lower wholesale market. _ On few stands are there apples at le cents each, for a quarter, Apples need no artificial popularity campaigns. What is needed to restore the “apple-a<day” habit is fair prices and fair profits.

That need is tax relief The country should not wait uniil the Sixty-seventh Congress for a revision of the tax laws. Another need is that of a national budget system and a reorganization of Federal departments in the interest of national economy. Concerning this need the Republican said: funda- have form We advocate a thorough investigation of the present organization of the Federal de partments and bureaus, with a view to sc curing consolidation, a more business like distribution of functions, the elimination of duplication delays and overlapping of work and the establishment of an up-to-date and efficient admintstrative organization. One of the chief recommendations in President Wilson’s message to Congress last December was for the establishment of a national budget system, supplemented by an audit to ascertain whether money appropriated by the Legislature has been spent “wisely, economically and effectively.” It Is true the present Republican Congress passed a bill providing for the establishment of an execu- tive budget—which bill the President vetoed. It is also true that this Republican Congress put into the bill a provision which the President could only regard as an infringement of the legislative upon the executive branch of the Government— with the result that the Republican platform was able to point to and “condemn! the veto of the Pres- ident which defeated this great financial reform.” This is precisely the policy and spirit for which there is no further reason in the present Congress. The great politica! has been fought out and won.
