NEWS PRINT HOCS
When you read the mammoth Sun-
day edition of some large city daily
paper, do you ever pause to think
that the « e of that edition is one of
the leading factor* in the shortage of
news print paper? It is quite so
The publishers of many of these big
city da'hes are greedy hogs.
They know that it is extremely dif
tie ait for the country press to secure
sufficient print paper with which to
put out their limited weekly editions.
They know that if the country pub-
lisher can not secure the necessary-
paper stock he must go to the wall.
Ye; Sunday after Sunday they con-
tinue to i«sue editions so large that it
bee owe* a physical impossibility to
re.id them Section after section is
placed in the Sunday papers that con-
tain nothing of a news element, and
but little of any practical value what-
ever Usually it is composed largely
of sickening slush which a schoolboy-
would be ashamed to father. It is s
useless waste of material which is
already difficult to obtain. It reminds
one of the hog that roots the bucket
over in its greedy effort to get all of
the slop.
Some of the city dailies have Sun-
day circulations as high as four hun-
dred thousand. One useless eight-
pace section omitted from such an edi-
tion would furnish the news print nec-
essary for a week's supply for at least
two hundred country newspapers. One
such section omitted from the New
York and Chicago Sunday papers
alone would supply over two thousand
country papers.
One section omitted from these
papers would hardly be missed. It
would create no hardship whatever.
The failure of two thousand country
papers to make their appearance on
press day would create a furore.
The big daily newspapers would
have the people believe that the
shortage of newsprint is due to un-
der-production. As a matter of actual
fact, it is due in great part to the
hoggishness of the Sunday dailies.
Congress may not realize it, but
tha thousands and thousands of coun-
try editors have their eyes glued on
Washington. They are waiting to
see what Washington is going to do
about it.
Congress can aid the situation very
materially by placing a reasonable
imit on the size >f Sunday papers,
varying according to population.
Th:s will not infringe upon the le-
gitimate rights of the daily papers
■ will Drotect the rights of the coun-
try press.
Already some country papers have
suspended publication because they
could not secure the paper necessarv
to print their editions In the face of
such conditions, to permit the daily-
news print hog to continue hi* pres-
ent practice will inflict incalculable
damage upon the country press.
Weak-kneed officials prattle about
th 'situation working itself out. It
will not.
No hungry dog-was ever known to
volupntarily surrender a juicy bone.
And the news print hog is even
greedier than the dog.
WHY NOT A CLEAN-UP CLUB?
Spring will be with us again very
short.y now. and the question of com-
munity beauty and sanitation will
come to the fore.
What's the matter with having a
TWO ARROW
"Clean-Up" club in this town?
Why can't we have an organization
of public spirited men and women
whose business it would be to encour-
age the cleai
of the town?
We are told that Austria tnii cer-
tain of the smaller countries of Eu-
rope are starving for lack of bread.
We are asked to loan 1125,000.000
for the immediate relief of these un-
fortunate people.
Very good. We are American*,
and Americans have never yet failed
to succor a nation expiring from the
pang* of hunger.
It these suffering people need
$125,000,000 let us give it to them
jutnght. Let it be our contribution
:o the cause of humanity, and then
let us forget it.
But let's have nothing to do with a
loan which we know can never be re-
paid. It only becomes an object for
future friction.
But as to England and France.
London has recently repudiated Sir
George Paish, who ha* been trying to
float a loan in this country for $3S,
000,00,000 for the allies. It says Sir
George is not authorized to represent
the British government, nor yet the
British banking interests
Exit Sir George and his rosy-
scheme. We have no further interest
m him.
It is a well known fact, however,
that England and France are looking
to this country for the millions neces-
sary for their reconstruction. The>
may lie low until the present flurr/ of
opposition blows over, and then the
project will be broached.
But we have had enough of that
sort of thir.fc. WV have some ten bil-
lions of dollars planted over there now
upon which it i* doubtful is the inter-
est will ever sprout.
Even British people of prominence
ire advocating the repudiation of all
obligations and the taking of a fresh
start. It may be done.
We note from the cablegrams that
ir. London. Paris and other large
cities fabulous prices are being paid
by women for the latest creations in
;owns and other frippery There
seems to be no limit, to the money
for this purpose.
Again we note that the Marquis of
Queensberry has gone into oank-
ruptcy—owing a paltry $3,000—be-
cause he is too aristocratic and too
lazy to work. He is supported by
relatives and friends.
Foreign ^countries are full of the
same breed—all aristocratic, al! too
lazy to earn a living, but all willing
to blow-in money.
Extravagant sums can b« paid by
the population for any selfish purpose,
because it iontributes to their vanity
and their pleasure.
It is the same wherever the sun
shines.
If the French and English govern-
ments want more billions, let them go
to the rich In their own countries. If
their own people haven't confidence
and patriotism enough to put up the
necessary amount, why should we
Americans cough irp again?
Let them open the money bags of
their rich, and then put their lazy
l^nrasites to work. If the latter can
create anything of value we can prob-
ably buy it from them—and pay for
what we get.
That's business.
But digging down again for another
"loan" would be the heighth of jack-
aaserfc
W^>eliere with the Chinaman, that
it should be a case of "no workee. no
eatee."

We h«ven't a citizen who wouldn't
heartily co-operate in such a move-
ment; and many, once it was under

do others and carry off the prize.

PUBLISH THE RETURNS.
This may be a cruel and heartless
thing to suggest, but we would like
mightly to see the government order
the publication by counties of all in-
come tax returns in the United State.
Vf t have a shrewd suspicion that
many of our rotund plutocrats are
makins? a royal sneak when it comes
to making a just return on their n-
comes.
Inasmuch as the facts are kept se-
cret by the tax officials, we have no
means of knowing whether the multi
rich are making false returns or not.
Certainly very few of us believe that
.r.ey are making true and correct
ones. If they did, Lncle Sam wouldn't
be able to house the money.
It s an easy matter for a rich man
to employ lawyers to find ways of
beating the government, and it is
generally suspected that manv of
them do it.
So, we don't wish to be considered
cruel to animals, but we just would
mightily to see certain returns
We opine they would be second in in-
terest only to the Bible.
In France a prize of 100.000 francs
(normally J20.000) is to be offered

tocal connection with another planet
We don't want it—amount is erftirely

this town.
