FARM BLOC AND THE PARTY.
Washington seems to have discovered that the
farm blue program is not so very different from the
policy of the administration, after all. When we get
down to fundamentals, we discover that it was the
opposition that sought to make it appear that the
president and his advisers were opposing everything
that would benefit the farmers, and that the so-called
"agrarian" jrroup in congress had nothing to hope
for, save as it could secure aid from the democrats.
The proof of the pudding atill is in the eating,
and this has disclosed that ample support for the
farm bloc program has been forthcoming from re
publican sources, and that at no point has the presi
dent interposed to thwart the efforts to secure legis
lation that would be of benefit to agriculture in all
its elements.
A difference of opinion as to control of the Fed
eral Reserve Board was settled by the enactment of
law, which the president gave approval, providing for
the appointment of a "dirt" farmer as a member of
the governing body of the federal banking system;
the restoration of the War Finance corporation, to
meet a grcrt crisis in agriculture, was aided by the
president; t.e Fordney emergency tariff law was con
tinued for the farmers' benefit, and in other ways the
administration has sought to assist the tillers of the
soil.
Disagreement as to policy has arisen from time to
time between groups in the congress, but these have
not at any time been expressions of the administra
tion. The farm bloc is composed almost wholly of
progressive republicans, whose influence has not at
any time been challenged, nor has the loyalty to the
party of any of the members been questioned. The
fact that they are able to meet with the president
and act with the party is disappointing only to the
democrats, who hoped to profit by a serious division
in republican ranks.
federal aid. Tha federal government require that
the type of surface must be adequate to the traffic
anticipated, with reasonable grade and curve, and
that the state keep up repair.
There are some citizen who disapprove of this
ytem of matching dollar, even in uch a good
came a better highway. Other object to 10 much
co-ordination. However, it must be admitted that
until the method of federal aid wa evolved, good
rural road were rare, and that Nebraska, in com
mon with many other states, now ha many mile
of smooth roadway, the need for which i constantly
increasing.
DAWES ADVANCES NEW IDEA.
The promise of economy in government has been
met by President Harding. The fiscal year just end
ing shows not only a billion and a half dollars less
revenue collected than in the previous year, but a
surplus of $335,759,000.
There is enough credit due this achievement to
be divided among the entire, republican administra
tion, but the country will not forget that it was
through Charles G. Dawes and the businesslike meth
ods he installed as budget director that a great deal
of the saving was made possible. His was no easy
task, for in cutting down the expenses of the gov
ernment bureaus he came in conflict with ways and
methods which seemed hallowed by tradition to the
bureaucrats.
"What," they asked, "doesn't this westerner
know that it has always cost more to run a govern
ment office than a private business?" That feeling
perhaps has been one of the reasons for the heavy
expenses of government, from the nation down to
the school district and township. It is one of the
bromides that may safely be expressed in almost any
company and escape contradiction. Experience has
seemed to indicate its truth, and no doubt the
politicians themselves have had their part in spread
ing the opinion.
Then came Dawes. After having demonstrated
how the costs of government could be reduced with
out stinting any needed activity he announces a con
clusion that is little short of revolutionary. It is this:
The government not only can be run as
economically as a private business, but more
economically than a private business.
This statement requires amplification, of course,
but once the public can dispel that peculiar dis
respect for government which regards it as neces
sarily wasteful, some remarkable changes in the
conduct of public affairs may be expected.
PAINFUL DUTIES OF POSTERITY.
Omaha's interest bill on its bonded indebtedness
amounts to nearly $1,500,000 a year, according to
the city comptroller. Herein is to be found one
reason for high taxes.
Increasing the bond redemption and sinking funds
is recommended as necessary to check this heavy
drain. Too many bond issues have been allowed to
run without adequate proyision for gradually accu
mulating the funds with which to pay them off. Re
funding can only stave off the inevitable day of pay
ment and pile up the interest burden.
The only sort of bonds that should be issued by
any branch of the government is serial bonds, part
to be paid off in ten years, and the rest at intervals
thereafter. This thing of sharing the responsibilities
of public improvements with posterity is very nice in
theory and often justifiable in fact, but it can be
overdone. You see, each generation represents the
posterity of the preceding one and Douglas county
has been paying interest on bonds issued fifty years
ago.
THE NATIONAL ROAD PROGRAM.
The signature of President Harding has author
ized the appropriation of $190,000,000 for good
roads for a three-year period beginning July 1. This
amount is to be spread over 25,000 miles, making a
total of 71,000 miles of federal aid highways.
The magnitude of the project is glimpsed in the
statement that this is considerable less than half the
ultimate mileage. Federal and state engineers are
mapping out a system to comprise 180,000 miles of
thoroughfare enough to belt the world seven times.
The new highway act requires that all federal aid shall
be spent on a connected system of highways consist
ing of not more than 7 per cent of the road mileage
in each state. These traffic ways are to consist of
interstate or primary roads and intercounty or sec
ondary roads.
Funds to match the appropriation from the na
tional treasury must be put up by each state desiring
VACATION SCHOOL WITH A PURPOSE.
An Omaha minister is proceeding in a practical
way to help the boys and girl in the vicinity of hi
church to spend their vacation in a way that ought
to be both helpful and pleasant. He has organized
a summer Bible school, so-called, but with just a
little broader scopo than the name indicates.
Hi purpose ia to teach the fundamentals of the
Bible, not in a sectarian or denominational tense, but
a a revelation or the divine plan. Along with thi
instruction is to go teachings in citizenship, in the
obligations of patriotism, and in the relations of one
to another and of all to the soclul group. Specially
trained instructors will give the youngsters training
in these essential lines each day for the next six
weeks. And the work is strictly undenominational.
A littlo thought will show how attractive this idea
is. unly three hours a day are required of the
child's time, but these three hours are filled in in
such a way as to actually supplement the vacation
period. The occupation is enough to break into what
may become a monotony of idle moments, providing
just enough of variation to add zest to the play that
may otherwise fill in the daylight hours, and so give
a little of direction to the vacation program. It is
not essentially a vacation school, yet it does afford
the balance that is lucking in the absence of some
such means.
"Vacation schools" as such are not always popu
lar, yet a strong support has developed for them,
because of the need for employment to help the
child pass hours that are apt to hang heavily in a
city. Some agreeable work every day is beneficial,
and the summer Bible school is providing that for a
few at least of the city's thousands of children now
temporarily out of employment.
The Bee's
LETTER BOX
HUMANIZING CIVIL SERVICE EXAMS.
Applicants for positions under the government
will no longer be submitted to the terror of "high
school education or its equivalent." This frequently
has set up a bar to those whose qualifications other
wise were eminent for the place they sought. In the
classified list are many jobs where good plain horse
sense counts 100 per cent, and anything else is a
handicap.
The Civil Service commissioners have come to
realize this, and are now preparing a new formula
for examination, which will take into consideration
something besides the school training the applicant
may have had. No intention of depreciating school
advantages is entertained by the commission, which
proposes to keep the mental requirements high, but
it is realized that a great many have not had the op
portunity of absorbing the knowledge that is not
held to be necessary for acceptance by the gover
ment, and yet are fully equipped to do the work that
is expected from them. In order to get around this
tests will be devised to include practical working
knowledge of the duties and responsibility involved
in the position sought, as well as the only truly human
asset of good sense, the training that is gained in the
school of experience coming in for its true weight in
making up the list.
Such a change will doubtless be found helpful
in many ways, for it will scarcely seriously lower the
standard of efficiency among government employes,
and it will open the door to many who are not now
permitted to enter because of inability to pass the
"high school" grade.
ALONG ANY HIGHWAY NOW.
Wonder is sometimes voiced as to the facility
with which persons not provided with ample means
get from point to point with apparent facility. A
story from Princeton may illustrate and explain the
mystery. Students who had expended their allow
ance did not permit their impecuniosity to prevent
their starting for home, confident of reaching there
with little or no inconvenience. They depend on
"lifts" given by friendly autoists.
Students who have practiced the "art" have made
an interesting study and find that on a fair day one
car in five will stop to pick up a respectable appear
ing person along the roadside. On bad days the
average will run as low as one to eight or ten, while
at night it is impossible to get a ride. A trip from
New York to Chicago may be made in six days by
this method.
What is true there is true here, and the hospital
ity of the automobile is making itself felt in all parts
of the country. It is a fine exemplification of one of
the better traits of humanity, the impulse to give a
man a lift, to share with him a benefit. That the"
generosity of drivers has been abused by a group
of undesirables is not enough to check it. The prac
tice seems to be part of the destiny of the machine,
and surely it is one of the pleasant features of Amer
ican roads.
"There is no greater influence for community
good in the American small town than the town
band," Secretary of Labor Davis declares. "What
gives his statement more weight is that he used to
play the clarinet in the village band at Sharon, Pa.
And President Harding was in the home band at
Marion.

Mrs. Eddy obtained Christian Science
from Dr. P. P. Qulmby. This was
also attempted In 1883 in the United

Quimby's writing were available at
the time, but were not submitted by
his heirs as evidence. His writings
have recently been published In book

denial of the contention that his

If Christian Science Is declining,
as our critic avers, then why this

between officials of the mother
church nnd appointees, is alluded
to as indicative of internal dissen
sion, and mention Is made of a re
port of a master in chancery, which
was unfavorable to the directors of
the mother church. The vast, ma
jority of Christian Scientists remain
ed loyal to this board of directors,
and the supreme Judicial court of
the state of Massachusetts subse
quently unanimously sustained the
board. The Christian Science move
ment has thus again withstood at
tacks which would have been dis
astrous had it not been securely
grounded In Christ, and it Is now, by
the overcoming of difficulties
through divine Love and obedience
to God, more firmly established than
at any previous time.

"Well, judge, we were celebrating

His smile, his cheerfulness, his

Too Much Lnd Cultivated.
Omaha, June 26. To the Editor
of The Bee: I notice some of our
representatives In Washington are
trying to interest the government In
a large irrigation project to put more
land into cultivation. It brought to
my mind the propaganda that was
scattered broadcast last fall and
winter, trying to have the farmers
cut down production, and it was
taken very seriously until the re
markable advance in grain In Feb
ruary and March. Secretary Wal
lace ran up the "S. O. S." signal and
asked the voters to write to their
coneressmen and ask them to vote
against just some such a scheme as
is brewing In western Nebraska, and
well said that it was an inopportune
time for the government to put more
land in cultivation when the markets
were glutted and the farmers selling
their produce far below cost. Presi
dent Harding in a speech in the west
deplored the condition or me larm
ers, because yiey had to take so
much less for their crops than they
would have done If they had raised
a great deal less.
Some brainy man in the western
part of the state went into a "brain
storm" and abused the secretary
with ridicule and sarcasm because
he would suggest that the farmers
use a little common sense and take
a lesson from all successful "busi
ness," and frown upon the govern
ment going Into competition with
them. The government through the
war used every Inducement in its
power except force to get the farmer
to produc more, and still more,
thereby causing millions of acres -of
land to be put into cultivation that
might better have been left for graz
ing, and now the same old bugaboo,
overproduction, stares the farmer In
the face. The poets may sing "back
to the farm," but they can sing until
they are black in the face and they
