FORTY -SIXTH YEAR NQ. 5!* A FEWTHOUSANDS ANDHOT MILLIONS WnHim.ipwwu The question o f government ex­ penditures is causing no little concern among all classes and no doubt will be the subject for much discussion before the new session of congress. The weight of federal taxes Is be* ing felt more keenly the past year than anytime since the war. It is reflected in the cost o f everything we wear while the cost of food pro* ducts to the producer leaves him a very small margin with which to purchase'mamifactured goods. Many citizens tliat have always been stout supporters o f the prohi­ bition cause are much put out over the huge sum that is expended each year in an effort to enforce this law. Last year about 'eight million . dollars was spent in this one branch of the federal government. A like sum. this year. For next year the prohibition department is. asking for ten million for the land enforcement and twenty-eight million for running down turn ships along the coast. To most people the present cost of prohibition enforcement is not in keeping with other branches of the government, especially when compar­ ing results. The prohibition enforce­ ment question is a good thing for the politician to discuss in order ’that he Can keep everything sweet while some other deal is being put over. It,is also a harvest for the so-called “ re­ former” who gets an. appointment as an inspector at $300 a month and traveling and hotel expenses. With hundreds o f these fellows living in luxury, and not over exerting them- selves it is easy to see why it takes eight million to' enforce one law1. But why should such a sum be necessary? . No such an amount is ever asked to enforce the law against murder. Bank cashiers wreck banks and millions are not asked for this purpose. The only branch o f the government along this line that .is making any showing .is the anti­ narcotic law.

A million a year in prohibition j enforcement will bring as much return as the ten million asked for. A hundred million would do no more. As long as the individual that wants i to take a. chance,. cares to, corn j liquor will be made. The element- o f nature is so fixed in the grain and fruit that no government could ever enforce absolute prohibition if the people were not educated against its use. Some time ago Miss Hopley, repre­ senting prohibition commissioner Boy Haynes, made an address in Xenia rnxug the enforcement work.

That PRESIDENTIAL, YEAR. METHODISTS ARE SHOCKED.. DOC COOK AGAIN. MEN ARE DULL—VERY. been more than three and one half million dollars. Quite a contrast with the prohibition department. We were interested-the other day in the statement of Senator Willis that he never would, vote for the twenty-eight million for “ coast de­ fense” against the “rum runners.” The Senator thinks We have Ships enough that can be used for that purpose and he is right. Prohibition has made many new .converts since .the constitution was changed. Many a Convert is now getting his share of the eight million and thinks we should have at lensfc ten million for the coming year. The cost of government may in the years to cOme have something to do with the stability of government. The load will only be carried by the consumer so long. When the pro. duccr is getting his profit and the laborer and the mechanic enjoy steady employment at high wages the cost o f government does 'jnot bring about much concern.

I^ iw Ml wtowe dsrtstah, £ £ £ “ Half the farms of Ohio would be dead failures if it were not for the women. It is important to keep the right kind o f men on the farm, but even more important to keep the right kind of women there,” . So maintaining, and adding that “ the farmwife is the key to agricul­ tural progress,” Dean Alfred Vivan o f the college of agriculture makes in the current issue of the Ohio State University's Extension Service News, a plan for more extension educati in home and community subjects. Ilia article is in review of the recent state-wide conference of county agricultural agents, “ Farmwivcs will not,” the Dean believes, “ become greatly interested in a program that teaches people how to make money without trying also to educate in spending both money and time. Dollars are important, but only os means to an end. You will find many formers confusing the means with the end, but few farm- wives. They will be satisfied with nothing less than a program that aims at ^richer, fuller community life for the whole farm family. “ It is feminine intuition and idealism and common-sense that has kept and will keep rural life from becoming a sordid struggle for a roof, enough to eat, and something in .the bank. When we write our programs, we must write in what those women want, remembering al­ ways that they can see what is important and what is enduring, and that they will bo satisfied with nothing less." TAGS AT RIGHT TIME A good year depends on good buy­ ing. Nothing in the election o f a President preyenta people buying the. usual supplies, from ice cream sodas to ■ fur coats, from ’ factory sites to bungalows. This Presidential year ought to be our most prosperous year. The election reminds the people that this country is managed by its in­ habitants, for the benefit of the inhabitants, when they take the trouble to ,vote thoughtfully. makes all the dlffawsace. .

Young ladies of Chicago’s "Co-ed” University decide that “ all men are talkers” and are all dull. Some with dullness, combine seriousness, others froth, others triviality, but all are dull. Nothing new in that truthful statement. The miracle is that women have endured men’s dullness, pretending to be interested in their conversation, for so many centuries, from dull modern man back to Adam. He must have had nothing at all to say, being so freshly made and having no gossip to bring home to his wife. You do not wonder that, in the despair of boredom, she talked to the snake.
