Dreher Calls on Government |. Officials of State to Practice Economy. To the Editor of The State: I hope you will allow me a brief space in your columns to indorse the suggestion of E. W. Dabbs for a taxpayers convention although the time, preceding the meeting" of the legislais rather short to accomplish {effective and intelligent results. . Every two years, with the regularity of pig tracks, our politicians go ovei the country preaching economy and I would like to see their bluff called I remember the time when a mar who advocated rigid economy in governmental affairs was called a crani ' * ' T -1 - .1 x. I and a demagogue our, i am gian tt say, that can not be charged, per se ^ any longer. When such men as T. M, | Rsysor of Orangeburg and S. E Hk^.1 ITION DEPARTMENT \MPBELL, Editor. . WpIoH of Charleston bejiin to squirm | it is time to sit up and take notice. I stood in the postoffiee lobby this morning and heard something 1 never heard before. Old conservatives who, j from Tillman days in the 90's down to the present hour, were never heard to arraign public officials on ! the score of economy, were reading ! The State and uttering -lurid comjments on the estimates of nearly ten i millions of dollars for running the government another year. It seems to me that any man with gumption must see that the present wave of extravagance must abate or there is bound to be trouble in the future. It j is' not due entirely to the war. The ! billows were risinsr before that ca 3 ? lamity. overtook us. I am inclined to think that the younger element who have known little of the pinch of hard times are largely responsible. Good old John Wesley's wife was ! once asked how she reared such an I excellent bunch of worthy sons and she answered: "By prayer and hick ory." Many of us not only got that medicine a plenty but also much hard work and the most .rigid regiment of economy. As a matter of fact, people are cutting down in this . county as I have not seen them do in [ many years, and I can not under| stand why government officials should not do likewise. I can pay my taxes and you, Mr. Editor, can pay yours, but I know many people who are really not able to pay the taxes already imposed. The one big lesson this a?:e should learn is to live within its income. We have fallen upon days of waste and idle* - n 1 _i i _ ness. as a resuit peopie as w ruie are not paying: their debts and departing from the ways of the good old scriptural dictum: "Thou shalt earn thy bread by the sweat of thy brow." Crime is rampant. Get rich quick schemes are luring many to their doom. Let us get back towards the old moorings and insist on the government leading the way. I am ! ^oUpo-Ahrp^nnd helir>ve in education but I am not so blind as not to see that there is also a lot of good money being thrown away on- mighty trifling education and I am not a Bolshevist either. I want every child in the state to have, at least, a common school education but let us insist on more efficiency, ajjplication and judicious use of funds in schools, colleges,, and all public institutions. as well as in private affairs. * T.

British Labor Leader Declares There is "Too Much Quibble and Not Enough Pluck." Geneva, Dec. 14 (By the Associat ed Press).?The limitation of armaments by the powers for the next two | years by agreement among them was acted upon favorably today by the assembly of the league of nations. The matter eame up in the form of the report of the disarmament committee, the limitations clause in which was amended to merely a recommendation before the report was adopted. With respect to the limitations clause, Leon Bourgeois made the reservation that France was obliged to restore her armaments that had been worn out by the war. The Bel * * i a? gian and spanisn aeiegauons ai me afternoon session made similar reservations regarding the limitation of their armaments during the next two years. Notwithstanding: the reservations France together with Brazil, Chile, Greece, Poland, Rumania and Uruguay, voted against the limitations clause. Hlamar Branting, Sweden, pointed out that the reservations did not change the situation since a resolution on the subject was only and 1 1 1 1 ? ?- - ?? ? V? rl A ^ 1* /> V? VltT f COUKl oniy De, a recunuiicmitiuvn uy ^the delegates voting therefor, wijo are not understood as committing their governments. : - . Geneva, Dec. 14 (By the Associated Press).?The first ctep for disarmament of the nations must be cautious and deliberate, the assembly of the league of nations declared today notwithstanding sharp criticisms by George Nicoll Barnes, the- British labor leader and Christian Lange of Norway. Mr. Barnes said there was "too much quibble and ' not enough pluck" in'the decision to go slowly. The policy of the United States on this question was, by more or less I veiled allusions, invoked as one reason why general disarmament can not be boldly grappled with at tliis time, (Mr. Barnes said. H. L. Fisher of j the British delegation referred to nationals with powerful arms and munitions making facilities that still are I outside the lea.^ue. The absence from the league of former enemy countries also was referred to by Mr. Fisher. This brought from Mr. Barnes the retort: "They now are practically disarmed and can not constitute a menace for years to come." A curious manifestation of the session was.the general applause of the delegates for the pleas made by Messrs. Barnes and Laage for an immediate minimum effort, while at the same time accepting the conclusion of the disarmament committee. These are, briefly, an effort to prevent the future increase of armaments and nf <j si? ^iv^aoiliiua 111 iaiui Wl. U UV.V VV.VX a steady means of bringing about eventual, but remote, general disarmament. France and Belgium' accepted the committee's conclusions until limitation of armament during the niext two years on the base of appropriations for last year. They added, however, that they could not consider the restoration of armaments destroyed during the war as increase expenditures but pointed out that measures were beine taken to reduce the period oi military service. M. Poulet (Belgitim), "Belgium has received no reparations. She can not spike her guns while the league of nations still is in the process of formation." MORE FOR LUXURIES THAN EDUCATION Also Cigar and Tobacco Bill Heavier By Billion Dollars. Memphis, Dec. 11.?Expenditures | in the United States last year for j luxuries, approximately $,">,000,000,000, was more than 300 per cent. in excess of the expenditure for education, P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, told a conferencc here today of educators and state officials from six Southern states. For tobacco alone, Mr. Claxton asserted, the expenditure last year was over $1,000,000,000 more than thai spent for education. '"If we. can raise the standards o1 the persons to whom we intrust. the tiaining of our children thrbugh curtailing our tobacco consumption,' Mr. Claxton declared1, "then we should 'Hooverize' our cigars, cig arettes, snuff and chewing tobacco.' The ideal school year is 180 days Mr. Claxton said, while the average * ? r%i . XT. m the united stares now is ios. nt urged that at least 4 per cent, of th( government revenues be spent foi education. The present expenditure he said, was 1 3-4 per cent. jUnclc^yfe !

It will remove grease j sp?>t?. polish tinware?" "<^1, } ,18 ve n0 I store hair to bald i ^ rhif kens lav ! niarvels of the jsame kind. Last fall an agent came along, selling a soap that would do f everything yqu can think of. from j beautifying the female complexion to I chasing the cows out of the corn. The agent talked as though he had eight j clay works in him. like our old grand| father's clock, and he didn't make any j impression until he said the soap would heal all skin diseases of man j or beast. It happened at that period j that Mr. Curfew had an imitation bird r dog that he traded a good watch for, j and gave a dollar to hoot, said dollar j having been extracted from my prii vate savings, and never returned, i "This dog had the man?e or .some | disagreeable disease that caused him j to itch in the most reprehensible manj ner. He was always scratching and 1 rubbing against everything he could I find, first and last. One day he upset my parlor table and broke all my I best china, which I had placed on the j table a few minutes before. He also j upset the sewing machine and the } churn, and I don't know Miat else, 'i "So when Mr. Curfew heard that 1 the agent's soap would cure skin dieeases, he insisted upon buying a cake, nnd after he had gone he began to wash t.lie dog with that marvelous i soap. I don't know vfjhat ingredients i said soap contained, but after it was | rubbed into the dog's, skin that unfortunate animal became frantic and ( acted a& tnougn ICS reasuii luticicu \m | its throne. Mr. Curfew tried to hold 1 ihe beast, and it reached around and l>lt his ear almost off, and of course he released it then, and the uproar he made, as he danced around the house, holding his ear with one hand, and summoning: the police with the other was simply scandalous. "Meanwhile the dog. ran .off, entirely demented. Mrs. Turpentine was crossing the road pushing her baby buggy, when the animal collided with said vehicle, and(sspilled her offspring into the mud. - I am willing to admit that such an experience wa? aggravating, but I doufe think it was ladylike in Mrs. Turpentine to come over to ray house with: her muddy infant under her arm, and shake her fist - ? ?? ?: ^AM under my nose, ana ten me uuil iui five cents she'd pull all-my hair our. "Old Mr. Poppinjay was standing : on the comer, leaning on his cane, waiting for a street -car, when the , crazy do? ran against his cane and , he took a header into the gutter, and I really felt sorry for him when T saw him going home ten minutes later, dripping slush and mud like a seaserpent, hut I couldn't sympathize 1 j with him so very much when He i i picked up a brick as he was passing our place and smashed a panel in our front door. ; "For twp days people were coming here claiming that we "ought to reimburse them for damages done by thai dog. It seemed that the unfortunate animal made a circuit of the town, and left a trail of desolation behind ' *? -Fai* him. We upset six patus t?l (IIJIIV IV! Mrs. Trumpeter, and scared Smith's family horse so it ran away and injured several members of the family, and killed eight prize chickens for Mr. Dippy, and I don't knoyr what else. In view of which. I think we can straggle along without any of your (j marvelous soap."
