JULY 6, 1923. I A Lesson. From the National Budget -After m any months of s, xqulation as to the financial out- come o f government operat o rs fo r the cu rren t fiscal year, it is now ce rtain th a t the Federal expenditure will come within the Federal revenues and lerve a balance on hand, all due to tho budget system which u p to date has proved itself well worth while fo r the public purse, regardless of the political complexion o f government General Lord, Director o f the Budget, gives the figure of $60,000,000 as his estimate of the balance th a t will be left on h and subject, of course, to possible developments th a t may occur w ith in the n ex t two weeks which, may upset calculations. B ring ing the lesson home, the figures show th a t the Federal ' Government is the only form of government in the United States t h a t is showing a reduction in its financial levies and expendi­ tures. The cost of government in the states, in the counties, in the towns and in the village is constantly rising. The proportionate increase in government cost in the small communities is startling. The actual additional outlay in tax ­ ation may appear small to the individual, b u t in the aggregate i t is found th a t the nation fo r some time has been on a wild upending spree, I t is the aggregate condition th a t affects tra d e ,' Many villages where local improvements have forced u p tax ­ ation o r bonded indebtedness will soon begin to feel the effect in decreased real estate operations. So.oner or la te r home buyers w ill avoid the incorporations where taxes a re high and seek to bu ild on the outskirts of the incorporations to escape tax . I Has the World’s Best Jfoke Been Sprung I f i t sh o u ld 'tu rn ou t th a t H en ry Fo rd is the chief figure to stand behind the offer of $1,000,000,000 .'for the Shipping B oa rd Fleet, and there a re vague’intimations th a t the Detroit m an has a t least had a‘finger in the pie, the setting of the offer aside as one scarcely worthy of consideration would pi’ove a joke o f such colossal proportion in its humor i t is doubtful i f the. adm inistration ever- would recover from it. The name of Lasker would ho t retire with any m illion dollar joy ride. I t will live fo r ages in history. » Mr. L a k e r ’s calm assumption th a t the bid was open to sus­ picion because i t offered several times what the government itself believed the fleet to. be worth, was met by .Mr. Slack’s reply th a t the p rice set was n o t based on the theory of gouging the government b u t fixed by Americans in consideration, of the price the government paid for the ships. This gentle rebuke of Mr- .Lasker’s intimation th a t the American business m an ’s idealistic patriotism is no t to he found, passed without much notice* b u t i t was pointed to a degree. Mr. Slack m ay now be counted as another rec ru it to the ranks of those who sense the extreme difficulty of being honest, th e grave danger of being generous, and the u tte r impossibility o f telling the tr u th without social and financial suffering. I t is not a t all difficult fo r the pork barrel brigade to extract a few millions from the national treasury , bu t i f any man dare t r y to p u t money into the treasu ry he becomes the object*.of suspicion and finds the tasks next to, i f no t, quite impossible. cNowEasier Than Ever to Owna 'Through the —will enroll you and start you on «.irwr—r the wayto owner­ ship.

A, \ In Obedience to j Jungle Law j I By MORRIS SCHULTZ t IMS, Wftfttftni KftW^paperIfrloaJ Casey had been ‘‘promoted” from the small rodents to' the primates, but he was not sure he liked it. It was much harder work, to begin .with, and then there were those afternoons when Baby, Bill and Mr. Jinks had tea on a platform in the son gardens. He, Casey, had to sit on the platform with the three chimpanzees and pour out tea for them, and make them watch their table manners, while the crowd grinned underneath and said, “Ain’t tltey human-1" Occasionally, too, wags pretended that Casey was one of the quartette of primates and addressed him as “Jocko.” The chief trouble, however, was that Mr. Jinks and Casey didn't get on to­ gether. Mr. Jinks atwayB showed his white teeth when Casey appeared. He had been attached to his old keeper and couldn't: understand what Gusey want­ ed with him. • - On this particular day Casey was tired. All hands had been called out because it was discovered that a par- t cularly poisonous cobra had in some ay escaped from Its cage and was at large in the zoo grounds, They had searched all the morning, but had not discovered it. Casey was worn out when be got Baby, Bill and Mr. Jinks' on their plat­ form. .That day Mr, Jinks took it into his head to-behave badly. He snatched up the teapot, drank-out of the spout* scalded his mouth and began whimper­ ing. Then he tried to bite Casey's hand and Casey forgot himself anft boxed Air. Jinks’ ears, Mr. Jinks started howling. The crowd lost its temper “Say, you big baboon, you let the little fel­ ler alone 1" a man yelled, “What-a. shameful thing i“ said an old lady. “Those keepers are awful cruel to the dear animals, I’ve heard. He ought to be reported.” Casey was certainly having a had time. Mr. dinks sulked and blnbbered and Baby and BUI, following his bad exnmple, began snatching up the cake and cramming it into their mouths, The more Casey tried to control them, the more hostile grew the spectators. “Say, yo oughter be put in a cage yerself!" shouted a fat roan. ‘‘Clip him qne on the enr, Mr. Jinks J” shouted a thin man. At last, to Casey’s,.relief, the tea was finished. Baby and Bill, at Cnsey’s signal, bounded from the platform and made their way home to their cages. This was a feature of the afternoon, {Sometimes Casey would pretend to for­ get one of them and the crowd would see a frantic chimpanzee rushing wild/ ly nfter its keeper. This always tickled It. Today Mr. Jinks remained in a re­ fractory mood. He . snarled when Casey tried to make peace with him, wouldn’t take an orange, and then, 'with a sudden bound, he had leaped from the platforni t o the branches ,of an overhanging tree, where he clung, while the crowd went frantic, with de­ light “Get up and get your baby!” shout­ ed a square man. “Give papa a climb!” cried a very* thin, emaciated one. But suddenly, quick as a flash, Mr, Jinks hnd leaped from the tree. He was running through a patch Of heavy grass and Casey was following him. Casey had a fine chase. It ended at the very outskirts of the gardens, with Mr. Jinks sitting on a fence and Casey' standing In the grgss h few feet away, holding out a banana, while Mr. Jinks showed his teeth. Suddenly, with a hoarse screnm, Mr, Jinks flew at Casey, So sudden was the onset that Casey stumbled and fell back Into the gross, He heard,Mr, Jinks screaming hoarsely. He put up his hands to save himself, n e pictured the chimpanzee’s teeth In his throat. But only a plaintive whine followed, •Casey sat up. Mr. Jinks was sitting In the grass a few feet away from him, looking a t him with a tired expression. •Casey advanced belligerently; ad­ vanced, and stopped -in nmazement, Beside Mr. Jinks, coiled up, lay the cobra, dead, Mr. Jinks’ teeth had bit­ ten Its head nearly off. And Mr. Jinks’ arm was swollen to the size of Casey s leg. The <'li’.!iipan-; zee’s eyes were glazing fast. ’ With a sob Casey kneeled down and * put his srm round Mr. Jinks’ iwck. Mr. * Jinks chattered, his head fell upon Casey’s breast. Mr, Jinks was dead, He had died in obedience to jungle Jaw. For men and monkeys stand to­ gether against humanity's first enemy, Oasey understood that. Their quarrel had been forgotten in the presence of the snake. ni»>l»M JUtiDY npwp > raoio.— i,TOl)wi losjjod aqj ojuj ! pajpqd ojb uosjad aqj pus eosjd aq» , pun sum »U1 uaqM luautoui ;mu ‘amoo n q tuomom qsajg mjj ipha \ sMoug .Buojn asmoju J ssuojjo OAjii jo joauj pug [isqs sq oi su odubud sp| gaigni ‘2uo|o SJSpuniQ uu;q '•as[«w o« sramott ‘aidwis os s{ usm ‘O aoi ui „ , *s»|«W 9 qiO »M» ..uinopaa,,-- 3 ao i Mistaken Policy, People shouldn’t be so savin’ with tlielr smiles.
