Because of war’s destruction the world is short of goods—using goods in the larger sense that includes the re suits of human industry—and until this lack is supplied, a period of high taxes and great economy must b faced. Enlarged programs of public administration mean higher taxes i which would be imposed at a time i

1 when unusually heavy burden* must be borne to repair the wreck of re[cent years. However desirable would bo the effect of the plans of ambitious ; public administrators in a normal j rime, it must be remembered by the authorities who make appropriations that this is not a normal time, and that the greater the expenditure for anything that is not necessary to the carefully considered welfare of the people, the longer will be the interval that must elapse before normality can return. A realization that extravagant expenditure could not continue indefinitely has come to the people generally, or has been forced on them by the failure of income to cover outgo —hence, what has been called the buyers' strike; but a similar realization in regard to public funds —which are, after all, only private funds I ransferred to the public .treasurydoes not seem to have come to most public administrators. They present programs for increased and enlarged activities in their special spheres, that are already heavy, as if the country were at the height of a proswrity of guaranteed indefinite continuance. This is not justified. It may as well be admitted that one or

more lean years must be faced. The i economists and the financiers have seen it, and the people have realised it somehow whether they understand it or not It now remains to make the situation clear to the public administrators. The more comprehensive their administrations are, the greater, of course, the credit, or, at iny rate, the prominence, that will be thfeirs, and perhaps the greater the benefit to the state — only perhaps, however, for this is not certain. But all this may be achieved at greater eogt than the people can be justly asked to pay; thus any proposed expansion of public enterprises should receive the most careful scrutiny of those who are responsible for the distribution of the public funds. It is unfortunate —and may be expensive for the taxpayers — that the oublic administrators have not looked at the future from a more practical point of view. When the honest and frugal citizen is short of funds he adjusts his ways to his means, and. as far as possible, avoids debts, which would hamper his prosperity after the time of stress is ended. He gets along with what he has and buys sparingly and carefully, taking care to get his money’s worth; and he does not outline any program of extravagant expenditure with the money he hopes to get from somebody who can neither afford to give nor lend it to him. This policy of the honest and frugal citizen is commended to the consideraton of public administrators -vho have such ambitious plans for spending no insignificant part of the honest and frugal citizen's hardearned and not quite adequate income.—lndianapolis News. The increased insurance rates on a number of business properties in this city, without notice and without apparent cause should be met by the united efforts of those effected. Inspectors acting under orders hunt up some trivial excuse and then without giving the owner or occupant of the building any opportunity to correct it, slap on an increased rate. In a few months another inspectoi comes along, finds another suppos-ed defect and gives you an added overhead dig. No good business man will refuse to correct a real defect for he jof all concerned, does not want a i fire but the recent increases were certainly made in a most peculiar ! manner and the local people of course get the worst of it.

jps’ Working logether At a county fair years for Good ago, a flamboyant sign advertised: “The Strangest Sight in the World!” Those who paid to see the marvel found ten farmers pulling TO. • GETHER on a rope! ... It s different today. Now thousands of farmers everywhere are pulling together. Were working together for good—our own good, to be sure, but the consumer’s as well; for fair prices for both producer and consumer and for better marketing facilities.

In a series of advertisements in this newspaper we shall tell you of methods by which farmers’ cooperative associations everywhere are profiting by better marketing facilities. For this space and publicity, credit is due to The Country Gentleman, whose staff of experts are studying and in its columns reporting cooperative accomplishments all over America. And right at the start let us say that you ought to be reading that
