False Economy
economy is entirely pnuse-
particularly for those who
have difficulty in making ends meet,
«« there is a petty sort of skimping
which is not economy, and which is
really wasteful in the long run.
Time sad effort expended to ef
ffaet the saving of a penny here and
• nickel there often is a source of
iaas instead of gain. Shopping
for an hour in the hope of
a few cents on a trival pur-
chase is one example of this. An-
other is to buy an inferior article
when a good one would cost but a
iittlc more.
The same principle applies in busi-
ness management. To deny oneself
the use of a reasonable amount of

wmiuiy '^Jumping is not always
nd stinginess is not always
Too many of us are "penny
wise and pound foolish."
One of the most rotated articles
on the subject of governmental
waste to come to our attention late-
ly is from the Public Service News
of Kansas City, which declares that
the high post of government has now
become our greatest racketeer, which
makes A1 Capone and others of his
like look like pikers.
It declares that 20 per cent of the
the annual national Income is requir-
ed to satisfy the demands of this
super-racketeer. In other words, one
dollar out of eCery five earned by
American people goes to pay for the
wild extravagances of government,
os compared with one dollar out cf
every $30 fifteen years ago. Four-
teen billion (not million) dollars is
government’s annual toll.
This staggering burden is not
borne by any particular class. Every
man, woman and child in the nation
must pay a share of tribute to the
ogre of governmental waste. This
14 billion dollars goes out of capital,
savings and payrolls. It results in
decreased earnings and increased
coat of living for each of us, no
matter how rich or poor. It is on*
of the principal reasons why busi-
ness and employment do not
prove. *»
Arf aroused public finally puts A1
Capone away. Whenever the people
get sufficiently exasperated with
that greatest of all public enemies—
the high cost of government—it, too"
can be suppressed.
All over this country the voters
end taxpayers are organising to put
a stop to the encroachments of this
kind of racketeers. Public officials
who fail to heed the growing demand
for economy in government are on
the road to oblivion.

An Empty Bottle
When the cornerstone of the Rob-
ertson county court house at Spring-
field, Tennessee, was opened some
time ago, due to a remodeling of tbo
structure, many article* deposited in
it a half century ago were brought
to light.
One of the items known to have
been placed therein was a bottle of
whisky, and onlookers at the open-
ing of the cornerstone may have had
hopes of sampling the famous prod-
uct. But if so, they were doomed
to disappointment. The bottle wac
A smashing 35 to 0 victory over
Pittsburg Monday gave Southern
California's Trojans the annual Rose
Bowl game and fair claim on the
mythical national championship for
1932.
Only Michigan and Colgate, both
undefeated, share the Trojans’ crown
and neither has played nearly as
hard a schedule as the Californians.
Add this to the fact that Monday's
victory was the Trojans' 20th con-
secutive win, and you have the rea-
son why they have reigned supreme
throughout the country during 1931
and 1932.
Up at Kezar Stadium in San Fran-
cisco, the West all-stars in a stirring
finish nosed out the cohorts of the
East 21 to 14.
There were three outstanding of-
fensive stars for the winners, and
two of them were Texas boys, Staf-
ford and Key.
Though neither of these all-south-
__western conference men scored a
im-' Point, it was their great work which
' placed the ball in position for Hank
“Hard Luck” Schaldoch, to reach
pay ground.
Since 1927 the Southwest has sent
stars to play in this annual conflict,
and not yet havp the representatives
of'this district failed to scintillate.
Rags Matthews and Joel Hunt
started the great work back in 1827
and such stars as Bochey Koch, Bus-
ter Mills, Jake Wilson, Mike Brtim-
below, Noble Atkins and others have
followed to give the Southwest
greater fame.
The performance of Stafford and
Koy this year has carried the stand-
ard of the Southwest still higher,
and it will fly st the peak before
long.
They’re still arguing concerning
the outcome of the state champion-
ship clash in Corsicana last week.
Though Corsicana clearly had the
strongest team for the day and won
on penetrations, the discussion rages
day after day and shows no signs of
complete cessation.
Still, we maintain that the pene-
tration rule as was in effect in the
December 26th game is much fairer
Tragedy As Teacher
It seems that It often takes an ap-
palling tragedy to impress mankind
with the necessity for ordinary safe-
ty precautions, and even tragedy
fails to teach its lesson in most
cases.
The first systematic efforts to
make theatres fireproof followed the
Iroquois fire in Chicago in 1903,
when 574 persons lost their lives, al-
though 600 had died in -a theatre
fire in Trenton, N. J. as far back as
1872, and 283 had met a similar fate
ir. Brooklyn in 1876.
A new policy of constructing mu-
nitions depot* in unsettled areas fol-
lowed the explosion of the lake Den-
mark arsenal in 1820. The sinking
of Hie Vimtris has brought about the
adoption of a new code of safety at
sea, just framed by representatives
of 18 nations. The explosion of X-
ray films in the Cleveland Clinic,
causing the loss of more than 200
lives, has resulted in a survey of
conditions in hospitals throughout
the country in an effort to prevent
similar disasters in future.
Thu* great tragedies sometimes
serve to teach their costly lessons;
too late, however, to do their vic-
tims any good.

As late as 1929 there was~
wide argument and bad feelings fol-
lowing the tie game between Port
Arthur and Breckenridge.
There was no doubt at that time
as to which was the better team, for
the West Texans penetrated 6 times
while Tom Dennis’ men were not
getting outside of their own 36-yard
stripe.
Corsicana's victory was almost as
decisive, the Navarro lads having
five penetration* to the Mason's
none.
A scoreless tie is satisfactory to
no one, and we believe that its elimi-
nation will result in fairer decision*.

Two Paris reporters recently learn-
ed something about human nature
which they probably did not know
before. It was that the old saying,
“people like to be humbugged,” w
true.
They gained admittance to a pri-
vate club in a small town near Pari*
to witness a seance, where an alleg-
ed spiritualistic medium was schedul-
ed to perform. Joining the circle they
saw dimly what was said to be the
spirit of a deceased young woman.
The reporters seized hold of the
“spirit,” which proved to be the me-
dium himself, clothed in a sheet.
The other witnesses of the seance
became very angry, as the reporters
expected, but evidenced their anger
in an unexpected manner. Instead
of denouncing the fake medium, the
dupes beat up the reporters
threw them out of the place..
