"Eleven Causes for Crime."
The president of the National Surety Com
pany of New York, William B. Joyce, ascribes
II catisej for the increase in crime. He cites
itla TAd A I a. it. . a a
7 " several insurance companies of
the country paid out more than $16,000,000 last
year in settlement of embezzlement and bur
pry claims to indicate the prevalence of dis
honesty, and then fixes the blame. His first
ttuie is wide disrespect for the law. Second in
the list comes the greater opportunity for dis
honesty. Unemployment is another, revenge, in.
adequate accounting methods, "bolshevism," and
o on through a category the items of wKich are
11 felated to the first, that of disrespect for the
Iw. ,
These are all removable or capable of rem
dy, although Mr. Joyce does not suggest the
Cure, beyond the fact that if employment is pro
vided those who now steal to secure something
to live on may give over the practice. In general
lid in particular the moral nature of man was
ladly disturbed by the war. Instead of our
emerging from it cleansed and strengthened, we
actually came out with the. flabbiness accentu
ated, the baser passions no longer held in check,
nd the nobler attributes of human hature over
cast by envy, greed and hypocrisy.
Respect for the law way be inculcated in two
ways. Most important of these is the exact and
impartial enforcement of the law. Unfortu
nately, this does not pertain throughout the length
and breadth of the land. In Idaho business men
are kidnaping speakers whose views do not suit
their own; in Texas cities masked "vigilantes"
are snatching Victims from the street, smearing
them with tar and feathers and dumping them
thus decorated in front of crowds leaving
theaters. Lawlessness of this sort prevails all
ver the United States. It is idle to say we are
prderly and law-abiding when such things go on.
The other way to inculcate respect for the
law is through moral teaching. This method,
" too, is failing, because, those who may be said to
be tharged with its application are lax. Preach
ers and teachers are busy enough, God knows,
in their endeavors, but they may only look for
failure in communities where bootlegging is
frowned upon, but the respectable eitizen who
Can when decision presents produce a bottle or
a demijohn is counted a "good fellow."
Mr. Joyce may have catalogued the chief

"Short-Haired Women."
Driven back to the last trench, man is now
trying to dictate the proper length for woman's
hair. In issuing an order against bobbed heads
the president of a great insurance company may
be attempting more than he can accomplish.

to a change of custom. There is quite a flutter
now over the flurry for bobbed heads among
girls, and what started as a passing fad may yet
be boomed into a complete revolution by the ad
vertisement given it by the opposition of men.
. There was a time when women wore rings
through their hoses, and no doubt the first
daughters of the primitive who decided to leave
them off were treated to ostracism or something
itfoncrer. Turkish women who uncover their
faces are a source of astonishment to the elders,
and Chinese girls who have unbound their feet
liave also violated ancient econvention.
Among the. whirling wheels of the factories

"Long-haired men and short-haired women" has
long) been a phrase of contempt for Bohemians

-something to do with the opposition of this east
era employer, although he will possibly find that
it is not he, but the women themselves who will
decide.
Peace Hath Its Defeats.
' Now that time has been officially called on

. bis prompfcaction in crashing it to the floor was
enthusiastically followed by all the other din
ers. No one was going to buy anything mad? in
Germany after that and today the British peo
ple and many others are buying so much German-made
goods that certain home industries
are almost crippled.
On the Rhine a number of American soldiers
have married German girls, thus further con
founding the prophets. Truly, war brings in
numerable changes, but no more than does
peace.
President and the Congress.
Mr. Harding's call at the Capitol must have
convinced him of one thing, and that is the lack
of leadership, or, perhaps, it may better be said,
the plenitude of leadership in congress. To his
suggestion that the soldier bonus bill be laid
aside in favor of the tariff and revenue measures
he was told that it was doubtful if enough votes
could be secured to support his proposal. When
he asked for a recess he was informed by the
agrarians that until their plans are carried out
they will hot consent to adjournment.
The feeling thus, indicated in the senate pre
vails to a large degree in the house. Progress
is being made there on the general schedule, the
tariff bill having emerged and the revenue meas
ure being nearly ready for presentation, these
being the principal items on the president's list,
yet the close harmony with the White House is
lacking. . An agricultural bloc in the house is in
full sympathy with the senate program, and
some legislative relief for the farmer is de
manded, no matter what else happens. A ple
thora of leadership is also noticeable here.
Mr. Harding undoubtedly views the situation
through the spectacles of Secretary Mellon, who
is deeply concerned with the Treasury's plight.
Enormous problems of finance confront him.
Approaching maturity of the Victory" note issue
of $5,000,000,000, conversion of the ten-billion
foreign loan into a funded debt, and a few items
of lesser moment, such as the billion-dollar War
Savings stamp issue, about to become due, gives
the secretary reason to view with some ap
prehension the addition of a two-billion soldier
bonus load.
Closer team work between the executive and
congress is needed, for working at cross pur
poses will land them nowhere. What the coun
try is most in need Of right now is a program that
inclifdes everybody, and not so much otspecial
legisiauun.
"Pest House" Disgrace to Omaha.
Dr. Pinto's comment on the socalled deten
tion hospital turns a bit of light on'an institution
that should make Omaha blush with shame. Of
what advantage is it to have a high school build
ing that is the most beautiful and costly edifice
in the state, or to be actively at work on the
erection of another even more costly and com
plete; to have churches that compare with any
in the land, theaters that are beautiful and pub
lic and private buildings that denote the wealth
of the city intelligently applied, when we hide
our unfortunate fellow citizens in a place the city
health commissioner denounces as filthy?
This is not the first time the pest house has
been denounced. Go back to the time when Dr.
Pinto's father-ih-law, the late S. K. Spaulding,
was health commissioner, and you Will find on
record his opinion that the detention hospital is
inadequate, insanitary and Unfit fof the Use to
which it is put. Not a doctor has filled the office
but has condemned that "hospital," and yet it
stands, a reproach to Omaha.
Ten years ago The Bee began an agitation
for the consolidation of city and county hospitals,
with a view to having proper and adequate pro
vision made for the sick and unfortunate who
come among us. Then a promise was made by
city and county authorities and the Douglas
county delegation to the legislature that the
needed laws would be passed, and the deficiency
cared for. It has not yet been done.
The Bee hopes that Dr. Pinto and Commis
sioner Dunn will carry out' their intention, and
either clean the building or blow it up. Omaha
has borne the obloquy long enough. A "pest
house" must be had, for diseases that are dan
gerously contagious must be isolated, and Omaha
is not immune from them, but it should be such
a place as will not shame the city.
What's the Hurry About)
A coterie of able editors, undoubtedly animated
by the loftiest of purposes, are .hysterically de
manding that the president call the conference
on disarmament. Mr. Harding is the target
against which much criticism is directed, because
of his failure to move instanter, under the terms
of the Borah amendment, which directs him to
call a conference between Great Britain, Japan
and the United States to discuss a naval holiday.
Japanese and British . statesmen, unauthorized,
to be sure, but doubtless speaking with knowl
edge, have signified their willingness to come
into such a consultation, and the impatience of
the home brigade is correspondingly increased.
Why doesn't the president call the conference?
Many reasons are suggested by the critics.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger, for example, is
very certain that pourparlers are in progress, the
president secretly seeking to gain assurances from
the other parties as to how far they are willing
to go on the disarmament program. Many bulg
ing straw men are being set up and knocked
down In the process of discovering what Mr.
Harding plans to do. Principal among these is
the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which is alleged to
contain a great deal of menace to the United
States, and which is also said to be innocuous, all
depending on the point of view. Dut always the
consideration ends with a demand for action
from the White House.
Perhaps one reason why the president has
not taken the step is that the. naval bill, which
contains the Borah amendment authorizing the
conference, has not yet become a law. It is in
conference between the house and senate, and
until it is passed the president will be without
authority to act as suggested. If the enthusiasts
can only be patient until the congressional com
petition is over, they may realize their fondest
hope.
The prince of Wales, perhaps taking heart
from the example of his father ofl the visit to
Ireland, announces that he will go to India in
the fall. Can it be that the British empire is
quieting down so that its royal family can go
anywhere and be sure of welcome?
Lynchings decreased to 65 in 1920, as
compared with 83 iri fhe previous year. Defla
tion in these figures can not be carried too far.

Budget Reform
Birth and Progress of System of
Control of Government Expenditure.
(Fom the Boston Transcript)
The efficacy of the most important budgetary
reform in the fiscal history of the United
States which has been formulated by our chief
executive will be demonstrated in its first test
one year from today. On that date, Charles
G. Dawes, the first director of the budget,
will present to congress the estimates of the
expenditures necessary for the governmental
bureaus and functions on which the bases for
the taxation program of 1922-23 will be built.
President Harding has performed a notable
service in laying the foundation for the prepar
ation of estimates of the approximate expendi
tures for the next fiscal year in a consolidated,
logical, intelligible and accurate form. The
appointntnent of Mr. Dawes may be considered
the result of a decade of effort toward budgetary
reform on the part of economists and govern
mental administrators, which took an active
form in 1911 when President Taft appointed a
committee on economy and efficiency and in a
partments.
special message to congress on July 27, 1912,
advised a greater co-operation in the budget
task between the executive and legislative de
There are four types of devising budgets
which have been adopted by various govern
ments of the world, according to Professor
Henry C. Adams. The first is the executive
budget, made on sovereign authority. This
was the character of the fiscal estimates that
existed in ancient and feudal times, with the
crown as the sole authority, and in modern
times was exemplified by the imperial German
government. The second form is the execu
tive budget based on conferred authority, which
is found in the English system, where the
chancellor of the exchequer and members of
the cabinet annually on April 1 submit the bud
get to the house of commons, the latter body
having no power to amend, except by totally
rejecting the whole estimate or striking out or
reducing the various items. The third form
is that which was adopted by the United States,
directly after the revolt from England the
legislative budget, 29 committees in congress
having charge of the reporting of the appro
priations for the varioius governmental
branches. Modifications of this system have
since been made at various times, so that the
Treasury department has the right of making
an approximate estimate of the annual expen
ditures; but the legislative committees have not
seriously regarded the estimated appropriations
of the secretary of the treasury, who really has
nothing but an artificial power in this function,
except perhaps under the regime of a Hamilton
or a Gallatin. France employes a similar form,
although with, the modification of the cabinet
making the estimates, while the senate and the
house of deputies have the power to make any
changes they desire. The fourth form is the
joint budget, which is the type proposed by
President Hardine. This links the executive
and legislative departments into a co-operating
unity, and will bring betore the latter ooay a
complete and accurate fiscal estimate of the
government's expanses.
The progress of the budget, as an essential
in the arrangement of the governmental fi
nances, has proceeded apace with the rise of
constitutionalism in government. The civil
war in 1688 in Eneland caused the adoption of
an annual estimate of the governmental expen
ditures to be placed before and voted upon by
parliament. In fact, the issue of the oppressive
and exorbitant taxation in that country was a
direct cause of the conflict. Following the
French revolution, that country adopted a sim
ilar method of handling the annual financing of
the government. The American colonists
brought from England the idea of popular will
in government, and when the taxation schemes
of George III became oppressive, they success
fully separated themselves from the country of
their origin. With the establishment of the
government and the drafting of the constitution,
the founders of our country were fearful of the
executive power getting the upper hand over
the popular will, and imposed a check on pos-;
sible domination by the executive department
by making congress the only power in control
of the public finances. This did not prove un
satisfactory while the governmental functions
Were few, but with their multiplication it has
been found that congressional committees, in
their investigation of expenditures, have been
forced to make unnecessary and expensive in
vestigations which often overlap each other in
results. From time to time, efforts towards
the possible supervision of the budgetary func
tion by the treasury have beerf made, but the
actual gains have been meagre, in 1870 and 1S74
bills being passed giving to the -latter depart
ment the control of unexpended balances,
which proved futile measures of remedy.
General Dawes, In his new position, must
make a scientific classification of the estimates
for the appropriations of the various bureaus
and must analyze the expending of the revenues
for the governmental functions, with an es
pecial emphasis on the study of the balances
and deficits of those departments in the past.
An essential for the success of his work will
be to establish a proper "capital" accounting
system in each bureau which will take cogni
zance of the interest returns that should be
earned by the government's capital invested in
the enterprise, if it is a department that is ex
pected to yield revenue for the government. In
formulating the budget, with his group of ex
perts and "dollar- a-year" assistants, he will be
able to discuss and analyze the needs of each
appropriation. He should, in presenting his
estimates to congress, have the budget in a
complete and consolidated "gross" form as well
as itemized under the separate heads.
The whole country will wish success to Mr.
Dawes in the first seriously scientific attempt
to reform the nation's budgetary methods at a
very serious period of our history.
What Makes Prices?
The experience of the public in the past year
should have taught it, if it has not done so, that
the chief influence in determining prices is buy
ing power. Combinations of producers repre
senting either management or employes may
hold prices up for a time, but as goods are
made to sell, the willingness or ability of the
buyer to pay will tell in the long run.
Wages are coming down, not because, as cer
tain agitators claim, there is a conspiracy of
employers to reduce them. Few employers would
object to continued payment of high wages if
market conditions and the efficiency of labor
would permit it. They cannot, however, keep
up the extreme rates of the past few years, be
cause business and profits have seriously de
clined. They must either lessen the pay of their
helpers, curtail operations or shut down alto
gether. , . ,
Production costs, both the wages of indus
trial labor and the profits of management, must
be cut. The world has not the buying power
to pay either the wages or the profits on the
scale that has been in vogue. Where labor in
sists on its present wage rates it will suffer
through unemployment. Where prices are being
held up the products will find a stagnant market.
It is not the employing capitalist that is trying
to obtain wage reductions. It is the irresistible
force of diminished buying power that is forcing
the issue.
Industrial labor is standing in its own light
by holding out for its high wage scales. What
it wants is wages not wage rates. Topeka State

Help for Ireland.
Omaha, July 8. To the Editor of
Tho Bee: I perceive that the mayor
and council have gone on record
favoring the Independence of Ire
land. I therefore wish to extend to
them publicly my sincere thanks for
their noble work.
I have an idea there is a quota
tion in scripture which saye, "Good
words are good, but good deeds are
better." Consequently I would sug
gest to the authors of this sympa
thetic resolution to act in full accord
with the quotation.
Something more than empty words
la iiecessary to abate tne distress In
Ireland.
The White Cross, the Celtic Cross
and other benevolent societies are
giving succor to the starving women
and children. Alas, alas, this relief
is not sufficient, because of the uni
versal sufferihg brought about by
the burnings of crops, creameries,
factories, etc.
I am unable to describe the awful
agony of Ireland, there was -nothing
equal to it in Belgium.
Rev. Father James Ahem and
Jeremiah Curtin, both of Omaha, are
representatives of the Celtic Cross.
Any citizen desirous of performing a
humane and charitable act can send
his contribution to either of these
practical and sincere friends of Ire
land. JERRY HOWARD.
Inter-Racial Marriages.
Omaha, July B. To the Editor of
The Bee: Mr. C. L. Nethaway, who
is "opposed to miscegenation," re
fers to the fact that the laws of
Nebraska forbid Inter-racial mar
riages. He asserts that it would be
a. stigma and a disgrace upon those
white children to be, reared In a
family whose head was a black
man an a tVint .Tii dee Rears' decision
was right In separating those white
children rrom tneir wnue ana oisck
parents. In reply to the foregoing,
please permit me to say:
First, I am not an advocate of
miscegenation or racial mixture;
only as it pleases Almighty God, the
maker of races. Second, I believe
In personal liberty. In this par
ticular, all men reach a common
level. Third, is the law which pro
hibits lnter-racial marriages right?
Fourth. Isn't such a law an after
math of a" law that once upon a
time gave one man the right to en
slave another man? Fifth, does such
a law conform to the golden rule
which says: Do unto others as you
nmnlri tiavn ntriers do unto you?
Sixth, does such a law conform to
the divine laws or uoa, wnicn
teach us to love God with all of
nun mil. tnlnrl flit d strength and
our neighbors as ourselves? Eighth,
if it is a stigma ana a disgrace ior
a human being under a black skin
cover to care for and to properly
raise human beings under white
skin- cover, then, who made it a
stigma and a disgrace? Via tne uoa
nt .a.., .-wVin oava tn every race
the color of skin covering which
pleased Him, do it?
Ninth, Isn't it daily seen in every
human endeavor that God Almighty
endows humanity with the same
attributes regardless of the color
of the skin or the texture of the
hair? The real human being, Mr.
Nethaway, is founded in the deep
recesses of the soul. The only dif
ference betwixt the color of the
skin and the color of the clothes
one wears are: One Is natural, the
other artificial. Neither of which
adds nor detracts a single virtue to
nor from a human being.
Tenth, I am too much amused to
attempt a reply to Mr. Nethaway s
advice with respect to the Cau
casian contention for racial purity.
Seven million mulattos and mixed
blooded people are living evidence
that the Caucasian is the greatest
mixer of races among mankind.
Tenth, as to the chasm between the
races, it seemed as if Almighty God
took a hand in this affair when he
made these two persons one in the
holy bonds of matrimony and
bridged the chasm with his own
hands. "What therefore God has
joined together let not man put
asunder." Bible. TT,,

Soldiers' Bonus.
Tork. Neb., July 3. To the Edi
tor of The Bee: So much has been
said In regard to the soldiers'
bonus, pro and con, that I am
tempted to write a little about it
myself. It seems to me that the
cash bonus for soldiers is a thing
that a grateful country ought to
have given its protectors long ago.
It seems strange to me that a na
tion that has at the present time
control and possession of two-thirds
of all the gold in the world, should
dilly dally about paying the men
who kept this a free country and
made it possible for this to be the
richest and best country in the
world today.
One senator some time ago
stated that a soldier would feel in
sulted If a cash bonus were offered
him. because his valor and loyalty
could not be measured in dollars
and cents. He was right the valor
and loyality cannot be bought at
any price. But when this same sol
dier cannot get work, and has to
pull his belt up a few notches at
meal time because he hasn t got the
price to get a meal, he would surely
appreciate a cash bonus to put him

AT LAST "SOMETHING FOR
v NOTHING."
"Whatever harm the world war did
ue, we must admit advantages
gained in a few directions. One is
the freedom of men of draft age
from typhoid fever. Before that
time typhoid fever was especially a
disease of young men. Since that
time almost nation-wide figures
show that the disease has decreased
so much more rapidly among men
than it has among women that it
has now become a woman's disease.
About 5,000,000 men, those vacci
nated against typhoid between 1914
and 1918, have been relatively free
from typhoid since then and still are
In some measure. I dare say most
of them have dropped most of their
health habits since 1918, but it is a
good bet that the average man
trained in health protection in 1917
and 1918 will never forget wholly
what he learned about keeping fit
during those years.
And another of the great gains
iL-n. tha niRtom of having annual
cititzens' military training camps. It
started witn General wooas train
ing camp at Plattsburg. In 1920
mnniM HapMarl tn run nine Platts-
burgs every summer at government
expense. Tne country was aiviaeu
into nine sections with five or six
states to the section. Each section
is known as a corps area and In
each area one military training
camn was to be run for one month
each summer.
The camp is open to any young
man who can pass a simple examina
tion nnrl hrlner tiro n fir credentials.
There is no expense, since the gov
ernment pays tne ooara diuo ana

ment expense something for noth
ing." The government goes that propo
sition even better. It offers more
than something for nothing. The
man who goes will be vaccinated
against typhoid fever. In other
words, the government will protect
him against that disease for three
years after the camp closes. The
government vaccinates him against
smallpox protection against that
disease for more than seven years
after the camp closes. If he asks
for It I presume he could be vac
cinated against diphtheria, with pro
tection against that disease tor
years.
He will be taught how to take
care of himself and keep himself
fit. Before he has been there long
he will find himself as hard as nails
and as brown as a berry. He will
stand straight. His joints will be
supple. He will find that he has
dropped most of his minor troubles
and will have nut on weight. He
will get some military training and
will have learned discipline, and the
people of this country need dis
cioline as much as they need
health.
And while all of this Was being
gained he will have had the best and
safest vacation he ever had, and all
at government expense.
Don't Crowd Him.
Mrs. B. J. T. writes: "Kindly give
mo information as to food for a
baby boy 8 months old, weight 18
pounds. I have been following your
directions, received about three
months ago, for cow's milk modified
with malt sugar, supplementing with
breast twice a day. The child ap
parently is tn good condition, but
always seems to enjoy a little food.
I have been feeding cream of wheat
gruel. What food will you recom
mend for hot weather during teeth
ing? Also what in the vegetable
line? Do you consider potatoes good
food?"
RETLY.
Do not crowd the baby during
the hot weather. Be satisfied with a
slow gain in weight and strength. I
suggest the following routine: 6 a.
m.. 6 ounces of milk, 3 parts milk, 1
part water. 8 a. m., fruit or to
mato Juice. 10 a. m., cereal, breast
feeding. 2 p. m., vegetable finely
mashed, toast, meat broth. 6 p. m.,
cereal, 6 ounces milk modified as
above. 10 p. m., breast feeding. He
can1 have mashed potatoes or potato
soup, well chopped spinach and
carrots.

Service-
Babson's great statistical organization state in
the foreword of their regular weekly report:
"We as classes or nations must ourselves get
what we give and must prosper as we serve."
Service is a badge of honor. The great war
.medals and distinctions of all kinds come as a
result of service. The Nobel nrize is awarded
for service. Place and position of all kinds
come as the result of service.
The one underlying principle and desire of the
Nicholas Oil organization is to give honest, sin
cere, four-square service. It is this sincerity of
purpose which guarantees the quality of our
product, the smiling welcome at all our stations
and the earnest desire to serve you in any way
that will prompt you to come again.
Back of everv atom of our gasolene, back of
every drop of our lubricating oil is rugged in
tegrity, sincere four-square quality.
We believe firmly in the motto:
"He profits most, who serves best."
TWO GOOD GASOLENES:

Blitzen (high test), 23c per gal.
