THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1921.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM Published Every Evening Except . Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium gliding. North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Poet Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter. MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all new dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this paper, and also the local news published herein.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon indicated the only way to cut taxes when he told the

house ways and means committee to reduce expenses first, and then devise means of raising

the necessary revenues.

Governmental expenses must be cut by more than two hundred and fifty million dollars if new taxes are to be avoided. If congress wants

to know how the public feels about the situation, a few words will suffice.

Reduce the expenditures, that's what every

one says.

The secretary of the treasury showed that

about $3,830,000,000 must be provided out of in

ternal taxes. He told members of the committee

that he preferred cuts of all kinds to keep the expenses down to a minimum, so that additional taxes will not be necessary. In that observation,

the country agrees unanimously.

Congress might be able to save millions if it would curtail its desire to order an investigation of almost everything from the price of toys to transportation problems. Whenever anything

appears that might lend itself to an investiga tion, some member of congress demands a cori

gressipnal probe. Committees are . appointed, stenographers hired, trips made, and months later, when the incident is almost forgotten, a

belated report is forthcoming. Many investigations have been profitable and worth while, but others have been foolish and a waste of the public funds. Some senators and representatives have come to the conclusion themselves that congress has been prone to order investigations at the slightest provocation and that the real need of probes should be established before money is appropriated for that purpose. Among some of the probes ordered by the present session ?are an investigation of the railroad problem, the agricultural situation, the mine war in West Virginia, the escape of Grover

C. Bergdoll, the needs of ex-service men and

bureaus organized for their relief, the federal reserve board, and scores of subjects of minor importance. Even former service men are weary of a continued probe of the neglect of their disabled comrades and are insisting on action. Why waste money on investigations, say they; let's have some concerted action that will give quick relief to the men that need it. And so with other inquiries. The country has had enough of them. Too often, it seems as if an investigation is merely a temporizing subterfuge to postpone legislative action.

Drought Traced to Forest Loss The destruction of the forests which resulted

from the war is assigned as one reason for the unprecedented drought in the British Isles. 4"May it not be," asks a writer in the Daily Mail, "that we owe the drought from which we are suffering to the fact that most of our trees worth calling trees have been felled? It seems to be an established fact that local afforestation increases the rainfall of the district, and the denudation of the soil, owing to the destruction of forests in India is a fact equally well established. Trees evaporate more water, than even seas and lakes." Great Britain is not waiting -until her lands are denuded as were those of China and India, but never was so deeply concerned or active as just now for forest promotion. The government is endeavoring to restore the United Kingdom to a self-supporting forestry basis. An extensive forestry program is, under way and one governmental agency has announced that "forestry is obviously not a subject which can be taken up and dropped at will without serious loss of efficiency." The United States should imitate the example of Great Britain. Our forests are still of sufficient expanse to provide adequate timber supply, provided they are conserved with intelligence. In Indiana the conservation commission is taking no chances, but is constantly preaching the necessity of planting trees to prevent soil erosion and to clothe the hillsides with forests. Our wood - working industries have a valuation that goes into the millions, but they will shrink to insignificant proportions if they are not guaranteed a supply of raw material. This provision for the future, is in our hands, if we use it wisely and speedily.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

SHON "Did you ever notice," remarked the chief, "that some people, when they have climbed a few rungs on life's ladder, instead of taking advantage of the fact that they can look further on, seem to swell up physically and shrink mentally till from the little height they've reached they grow dizzy and flop with what a newspaper writer would call a dull, heavy, lifeless thud?" "It reminds me," continued the chief, "of a chap whose name I have forgotten, but whose good-natured Dutch employer dubbed 'Shon. "Shon had started as an office boy and had been advanced to chief clerk, and since his promotion he had on almost half a dozen different occasions struck the boss for a raise, which he always got "One day he came around to the boss and again asked him for an inCrLS "Now, business was pretty slow, and besides the old Dutchman's bonnet was disturbed by the bee that Shon was already getting somewhat more than he was giving. " 'Shon,' he said, 'I fink I bays you putty veil alretty yet; vat for I bays you some more?' "This seemed to present just the opportunity Shon was looking for. " 'I am your principal mainstay," he answered. 'I am acquainted with every detail of your business; and the irrefutable fact of the situation is that your firm would go all to smash without me.' ) "'Iz dot 60?' queried the Dutchman. Vy, Shon, vot I do.s'pose you die ? " 'That would be extremely unfortunate both for you and for the concern,' replied Shon, .'but then you would be compelled to get along somehow or other, I presume.' ; "The old Dutchman said nothing, but very good-naturedly took a few long puffs from his pipe. " 'Veil,' he murmured finally, 'Shon, I guess you petter gonsider yourself dead!"

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

Dinner Stories

The oraftr was handing out the usual line of convincing talk. "Work, my friends," said he, "is the lot of man. Man was sent into this world to earn his" living by the sweat of his brow. You didn't find Adam walking about the Garden of Eden with his hands in his pockets." The office boy and his grandmother's funeral always were subject for Jest. But when the test match is brought into the affair to make a jokable trio, it gets rather unnerving. Anyway, this particular stripling, having filled the "in" tray and emptied the "out," said to the chief: "Sir, I would like to go to a funeral this afternoon." The chief replied heartlessly: "Oh. you would, would you? Well, you won't." The boy, with all hopes gone of seeing the test, resignedly murmured: "No, sir, I know I won't; but I would like to, all the same." There was something so tragic nd appealing in the lad's voice that the chief couldn't resist asking: "Whose funeral?" Said the boy: "Yours, sir." Exit.

SOMEWHERE. A torrid wind is blowing across the wilting wold, the sun new curves is showing, the sky's like hammered gold; but somewhere it is snowing, and men complain of cold. Somewhere the clouds are dishing all kinds of snow and sleet, somewhere the boys are wishing, while thawing out their feet, for weather fit for fishing, a sport that can't be beat. The weather's something awful, the pavements smoke and hiss, and man hands out a jawful of language, hit or miss, and says he has a crawful of climate such as this. But somewhere men are freezing amid the frost and snow, through arctic nights they're sneezing, and colder still they grow, and there's

no way of easing the agonies mey know. Upon the map I'm tracing the lands with arctic goods, where famished wolves are racing in lonely neighborhoods, and polar bears are chasing the voters through the woods. The heat, in language spiteful, we roast till we're disgraced, but in those regions frightful, where snowdrifts go to waste, they'd think it most delights ful if they could have a taste. Somewhere men dress in leather, to shield them from a blast, and have chilblains together ,in wilderness vast; so let us prize the weather, which is to good to last.

The Chinese had commercial dealings with Borneo as early as the fifth century, but they made no settlement for a long time after. The Malay kingdom of Borneo proper dates back to the thirteenth century. Another" Malay settlement of later origin, Sambas, was at first dependent on Johore in the Malay peninsula. Sukadana was founded by Hindu Javanese from the kingdom of Majapahit and spread its influence on the whole southern part of the west coast. Mampawa was a Buginese settlement, and Pontianak was founded as late as 1771 by a colony of Arabs, Malays and Buginese. Islam began to be preached by Arabs from Palembang in the sixteenth century. The Portuguese effected a settlement in 1690 at Banjermassin. They, were, however, soon expelled from there. The Dutch succeeded in concluding a treaty of commerce with the princes of Banjermassin. They erected a fort and factory in 1643, and a second in 177S at Pontianak. The British made unsuccessful attempts in 1702 and 1774 to effect a settlement in Borneo, but, during the nineteenth century they acquired a preponderating influence on the northwest coast.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" A PRAYER You Somebody Who Knows know how thankful that I am as other men, so that I may understand them better. How alike in mistakes made, and good things done. . ' How beautiful that I can see the same sunset that you have painted for all and wonder while the 6torm is on, trying to understand its fury as it flashes its teeth to the earth. What mystery back of all created loveliness. What a frail human being I am. How frail everything is. How weak the strongest in life. How fascinating are ,the beaten things of the earth. 1 It is. understanding that I would pray for most And then I would take it and give it away! I would not walk in pride, but in simple faith believing. I want to be kind. I am a pupil. Please teach me aright. Let me go out into the big world "each day not knowing too much but enough. Help me not to waste. Give me a few friends "but those without capitulation." Make me a pal to the discouraged and a sort of silent leader to those who climb, be they separated ever so far. Explain to me why you put such beautifully colored flowers in the ground, and why you made the trees so great, and why you put the thorns on the stems of roses. And tell me why the birds never had to take any lessons in singing but just sing their same sweet songs year in and year out. Tell me why that squirrel stood up and walked so near me today when I whistled to him. He seemed to understand something. When I am most tired, I feel like doing most I don't understand it. They told me when I was a boy that your name was God. I don't think it matters much what your name is, though, so long as I am able to translate a little of all that you are each day. I would like to do , that I see you in so many people and in so many things. That's the reason I have for believing in you. And I think that that is enough, don't you? I always feel best when I give most. So please give me a great deal to give. There are other things, God but you fill them in. if you will. And bring them all to pass at the best time. That is all.
