Paying the Bills "It is perhaps not surprising that the people should often demand that many things be done whether they ought to be done or not we do not stop to inquirer-arid then think themselves very hardly used .when they are called on to pay the bills," says the Indianapolis News. "Yet there is nothing -that the government does, or can do, that does not cost money, and the more it does the more money it will cost. When a bad movement -it may be good or bad, wise or foolish starts, or is started, almost the last thing thought of is the cost of it and the taxation necessary to meet the cost. "Now we have been deliberately, in response

mand, increasing the cost of the federal government by millions and hundreds of millions of dollars during the last quarter of a century. We have filled Washington with bureaus and subbureaus and experts and inspectors and regulators, and are proposing to continue the process and still further extend the program,
"It is idle to talk of economy or to object to paying taxes as long as the people encourage, promote and countenance this vast and apparent
ly never-ending extension of the sphere of government. Men must either stop running up bills,
or cease grumbling when the bills are presented
When a legislative program is offered to the
people it would be well if the first question asked
were: 'How much will it cost, and how much
heavier will be the burden of taxation?' Govern
ment owns nothing except what it takes from the people, or what the people give to it. There, is nothing that it can give to the people, since all
that comes from it has to be paid for, and us
ually extravagantly. If this elementary principle could be realized as it were visualized it would be much less easy than it is now to put over so-
called 'reforms.' "
Problems of the Budget Congress May Counteract Savings Instituted by Director of Budget to Keep Down Expenses.
By FREDERICK 3. HASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 30. The newly devised American budget system is facing a crisis which will determine whether or not our form ot government is adaptable to this meth od of scientific, finance. For many years the congress has been beseiged with proposals to enact a bldget system as a means of instituting economies and placing receipts and expenditures of the treasury in such a form that uncertainty would taken cut of the government fiscal operations. Such a system was instituted something over a year ago and has been in operation. General Charle G. Dawes was the first director general of the budget. With characteristic vigor he effected economies in operation of the vast government machine, cutting out duplications and saving waste in scores of ways. It is difficult to determine what is saved in governmental operations because what might have been spent 13 so vaguely potential a quanti
ty that it is not readily susceptible or
reduction to figures. It is generally
admitted," however, that General Dawes' administration of the budget
cut down waste and extravagance to the extent of many million, of dollars. On the first day of July General Dawes turned the bureau of the budget, over to General H. M. Lord. General Lord is a man of eqnal if not greator vigor. , He has found some fault with details of his ' predecessor's administration and hopes to make even greater savings. He has intimated that while much has been done in the way of economy, the big task of holding the expenses down lies still ahead ot the bureau of the budget.
Recently the several executive de
partments, boards, bureaus, and com
missions submitted to the bureau es
timates of appropriations for the en suing year. These figures were larga
ly in excess ot what the director of
the budget thinks safely can be allow
ed if a balance is to be maintained between receipts and expenditures. Thi estimates have been sent back for re
viitfon and a maximum figure quoted to each department .within which it3
estimate must stay. The budget director is proving ob
durate. He will not relent and give the various department heads larger
allowances. Every executive in the
government has pet schemes requiv j ing appropriations and they all fight equally hard for them. The director of the budget looks the income of the government squarely in the face and if the estimates of appropriations excoed the income, he says "no" very decisively. - -May Appeal , -To Congress.The next steps of the offended department executive is to go straight to Congress. Th3 budget bureau will not allow him funds to carrv on. impoitant agricultural experiments, for instance. He interests some members of congress and gets special bills intro dnced appropriating th? desired sums. This procedure is followed all down the line. This is wher the crisis appears. The bureau of the budget puts its O. K. on the restricted, regular items for maintenance Rnd operation. These ex
penses r.re calculated to take up the whole income of tb3 government. Then come these separate appropriation bills, with long and often convincing arguments in their favor, calling for millions of dollars in addition. Will congress hold the expenses down to the budget estimates or will it pass the extra appropriation bills? If the appropriations aro confined to the budget, the budget system wins. If the extra appropiiation bills are passed, the budget system is practically scrapped because Its effectiveness U rendered void. " The very theory of a budget system is to Tieep within a certain fixed limits, balancing income and expenditure. In such a system the toes of a good many government officials are trod upon rather ruthlesslj
because items must bo slashed from
the estimates to make the figures bal
ance. If congress calmly walks around
the budget and adds various kinds ot special appropriation bills, the whole purpose of a budget is defeated and the same situation obtains as before the
budget bill became a law.
The question will be threshed out in
congress at the session this winter
and it Is expected there will be fireworks in the process. The President strongly upholds the budget system and has declared unequivocally that appropriations of money must not exceed the government income. He has adopted the economy of Micawber, the famous character in Dickens whose homely discusion of the, budget idea aptly expresses the situation. He says la effect: "Income, 2.005; : expend! ture, $2,000 means happiness. Income $2,000; expenditure; $2,005: ' means misery." : " President Backs ; Budget Plan. J' v
The President takes the same view
and will insist that the American
government seek to. have a surplus of
revenue ratner man an excess oi ex .pendtturc, Micawber's analysis re Hated to the affairs of an individual family but the case is not greatly al
tered when nations; are concerned. For a man's expenses to exceed his income means he must run in debt and borrow, paying interest. For a government to spend more than its income means the same thing. There is not the element of personal misery which Micawber speaks of, but there is substantial national embarrassment which
may result in personal misery for
many of the unthrifty nations individuals.
'Practically the sole trouble with
European nations which now are hav
ing such grave financial difficulties i3 that they went on a war spree ani spent vastly more than their income.
That is the case with Germany, with France, with Italy, with Poland and,
in a lesser degree, with England. They
spent more than their incomes and
now the must borrow. Their curren
cies have depreciated because they
have not kept their budgets balanced.
This has rsulted in loss of trade and and in ruinous prices for the necessities of life. They represent instances in which the unthrifty policy against which Micawber unttered his waining
have cause personal misery to thous
ands.
There is something to be said on th.j
other side of the case. Many of the separate bills to be Introduced will b? worthy; in fact most of them will and
great difficulty will be expertencea
m defeating them. Assume that the department of agrl
culture has sent in a budget which ex
ceeas wnat can be allowed n ex
penditures are to stay within income The budget bureau lops off a few mill
ions. Among the items cut off, let us
assume there is an item of $50,000 for the continuance of an agricultural
experiment station. At this station
the department scientists are working out a series of experiments relating
to the cotton boll weevil. Five years
are required to carry the work to a con
elusion. The completed work may re
veal scientific facts worth millions to the cotton growing industry. The work
has been going on three rears. If i
stopped now through lack of appropriation, all that three year's work is lost for the experiments must be continuous and there is a possible potential loss of vastly more than the work will cost. Yet the figures show plainly that there is not enough money to go
around. The work must stop. There are instances in which substantial losses have been sustained by the government in this manner. Government work is in process and specially made, expensive tools have been purchased and special buildings erected. The budget cuts off the next year's appropriation. There Is not even enough money appropriated to pay for scoring the tools and instru
ments and maintaining watchmen at the buildings. Tools and instruments are lost or stolen and buildings fall
into disrepair. Persons familiar with
the government know of these cases
and therefore have some sympathy with the extra appropriation bills
which de evade the budget. This i3 just one of the problems which the men who run the government have to face. How they will face the crisis of the budget this winter will be a matter of interest to every
citizen and taxpayer.
After Dinner Tricks
Fig 1 jj 312 VU-- , jL-J
No. 812 Catch the Otas Two coins are placed on the back of the performer's right hand. The trick is to toss the coins . in the air, and catch them one at a time as they come down. (See Fig. 1.) If the coins are tossed straight up, it will be almost impossible to catch them slnnly. Fig. 2 explains the method. The coins are tossed with an upward tilt of the hand. This causes the coin at the finger tips to travel much higher than the other, and it will prove quite easy to grab them one at a time as they fall. With more practice, the trick can be done with three coins. CaovrioM, Hit. fey PvbUo LedaT Company
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can." "Take It." -Up" EXPRESSING THE UNEXPRESSED Every once in a while somebody steps out of the crowd of men and women and says something very much to the point something that nearly everyone has felt at some time or other, but was too timid to express. Emerson was a man who was unafraid under the thought of isolation. His was a mind rich in discoveries. Stevenson says that "it is only by some bold poetry of thought that men can be strung up above the level of everyday conceptions to take a broader look upon experience or accept some Higher principle of conduct." The few recorded words of Jesus tell us in magnificent fashion of His power to "pioneer the unexpressed." Rather than to be afraid of and repulse new ideas and new plans when they are placed before us, we should blush with shame that we didn't have the courage to champion them first. There is a responsive chord in every human being that is tuned to receive the other chords of its kind. We are drawn to him whose sympathy of heart and understanding warms our own, and whose mind helps us better to express the thoughts which we think. But most of us are brought up under such conditions ot habit, circumstance, conventionality and conformity to custom, that it is only the exceptional person who is able to break through these and express himself as he thinks, in honest fashion. A large number of human beings wilt away through the repression route. Give a flower only half its requirement of sun and water and see how it is repressed in size and beauty. Nature has to open up. It has to have its full quota of room. . . What we all need and must have to fully express the finest that is within us, is a happy background. And where is there to be found a better background than that made up of other people through whom we may work and help? An understanding friend is able to make us express the unexpressed in ourselves.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason
THE FARMER The farmer has more kinds of grief than any man I know; if he has pleasure, it is brief, and long-drawn is his
woe. My Uncle Hiram tills the soil, he hustles day by day, and half the time
his earnest toil is labor thrown away. This years he had a field of corn that grew to wondrous size, and he survey
ed it every morn with gladness in his
eyes. The rains arrived in timely
snowers, tne sunshine followed then, the cornstalks grew through daylight
hours, by night they grew again. My Uncle Hiram's spirits soared, he watched the green corn wave; "this fall.'" he said, "I can afford a haircut and a
shave. The way that field is looking now, the harvest will be fat; I'll lift the mortgage from the cow, and buy my wife a hat." He thought of many things he'd do when al that corn was shucked, when it was run the sheller through, and to the market trucked.
Then came a hot wind from the south,
that turned bright green to gray; the corn, as in a furnace mouth, burned up and blew away. My Uncle Hiram view
ed the wreck, crop gone, beyond recall; two briny tears ran down his neck, he sighed, and thatvas all. Oh, oftentimes this sort of crime the husbandman must view; but for laments he has no time he has his chores to do.
Q. Where Is most of the cotton raised? , J. J. P. A. The department of agriculture says that the United States produces approximately of the world's cotton; India and Egypt being the only other countries whose crop is of much commercial importance. China and Russian Turkestan produce considerable cotton, but the crop is consumed
almost entirely within the country of production. A .little cotton is grown in Eastern Brazil, in Peru, in Mexico,
and in Asiatic Turkey. The extensive
production of cotton Is restricted to regions having the average frostless season of 200 days or more, and 95 per cent of the world's crop is grown south of the 37th parallel of latitude. Q. Does Africa produce twice as
ixiuiu feuju eta (.lit; uuiii;u ; v T. E. Wj
a. Ainca produces nearly iour times as much. According to the last report of the Director of the Mint in 1920 the United States produced 2,476,166 fine ounces of gold, while Afica produced 9,089,288 fine ounces. Q. Why doesn't it kill a bird to alight on a live wire? A. E. R. A. The biological survey says that small birds are seldom killed by alighting on a trolly wire, even though
it carries a heavy current of electric
ity. This is because there is not a
complete circuit. If a larger bird were
to alight on a wire, and one of his wings touch another wire, it would
be apt to cause death. Eagles have
often been killed in this way.
Q. How does a German glider rise
in the air without a motor? Z. R. M
A. The German glider does not dif
fer from other gliders in the means
of obtaining support in the air. In all such craft support is received from
the action of moving air on the wing
surface. The glider, or soaring plane, is given motion relative to the sur
rounding air, either because of wind currents blowing past the craft, or by causing the glider to move through
the air in a general downward direc
tion from some elevation, such as a hill or a mountain. Altitude may be gained whenever the relative air speed
is greater than that necessary to maintain horizontal flight.

LORD LOUIS MOUNTBATTEN One member of European nobility
who doesn't care two hoots for titles
is Lord Louis Mountbatten, an officer
in the king's navy and a member of
the royal family. Lord Mountbatten and his bride of
months, formerly
Miss Edwina Ashley, wealthiest
heiress in Great
Britain, are on their way to America for an extended tour of the United States and Canada.
His lordship i3 one of the most democratic of England's royal younger set.
lUkv MuvNTbATftN "i don't give two hoots what you call. me," he says, referring to titles, "and I don't care a hoot about rank, but I do like to shock the old fogies."
Professionally, Mountbatten is en
grossed m his work in the navy and devotes little time to non-professional affairs. He cares little for social
functions and when he does attend, mingles freely with the commoners.
Mountbatten used to be "Prince Louis of Battenberg." But in 1917 his
title was changed by royal warrant. Mountbatten and his bride will in
spect the Humboldet mines, in which
she has a controlling interest, after which they will visit various parts of
