Our renders will remember that last January first, when the tax th< K|w . nlg c , obi of ocean City, and budget for Cape May county was made up. the affairs of the County Bo”* Treagurer of the Public Recreation

of Freeholders was in rather a turmoil. Grow extravagance was charged. and the taxpayers were up in arms over the reckless way in which their

money was being spent by the Board then in office.

The natural thing for the Freeholders to do, tinder the circumstances, was to cut down the 1922 appropriations to the bone, and thus reduce the tax rate in an attempt to satisfy the demands of an outraged taxpaying

public.

And what is the result ?

Practicing the utmost and rigid economy, the preient Board of Freeholders finds itself, three months from the end of the year, practicaMy without funds to pay the current operating costs of the Connty government. An emergency note had to be passed last Tuesday to provide food for the

prisoners of the Connty jail!

The law distinctly provides that the expenses of the County must be anticipated a year ahead, and the money needed most be set forth in appropriations. If ten thousand dollars is set down for a certain expense, and it is necessary, in order to keep the county machinery moving, to spend eleven thousand dollars—well, it simply cant be done. And if it is done,

hi lit fer the extra thousand dollars cannot be paid!

This is the situation in which the Board of Freeholders now finds itself, with many of it> appropriations. The county almshouse, the county clerk's office. Sheriff’s office. Surrogate's office, the county elections, the county courts and the jail most be kept functioning until January first, and there

is little, or no money, with which to pay the bill.

. The TIMES believes in economy and efficiency in governmental affairs, whether municipal, county, or state, but it has been proven so often that a too rigid program of economy is more harmful to a municipal corporation than it is beneficial, that there is hardly room for question of the wisdom of providing enough money.

M- de Jouvenel. head of the French delegation to the Leagne of Nations, 29 Sun. 3:63 4:o» and who hts occupied the center of the stage in the fourth act of that 30 Mon - 4:42

comedy, speaking to the disarmament committee, said: "Europe was unable to wait for America to join the war. Today she is unable to wait for America to join in the reconstruction of the war's ruins. The Leagne of Stations is impossible without America.. But we cannot afford to wait." Well, for pity's sake, go ahead, then, and do something. The whole sdtoation in Europe has been tied up by the French attitude on reparations. The Leagne itself is powerless to do anything because France and Great Britian. who boas the League, can't get together and agree on a constructive policy Unless the skulls of European statesmen are solid ivory they must have known for two yean at least that America was not coming into the League, and there has been no excuse for them to wait on America. A certain Congressman, in the days of reconstruction foliowing the American Civil War. said if the South would raise less bell and more bogs the would soon get back to normal. Eventually the South adopted the suggestion and that is a very prosperous section of the country today Why does not X. de Jouvenel translate the American Congressman's statement into French and give it to the League? America is not asking Europe to trait. STATESMANSHIP of the highest ordei was displayed by Preaiden.

By HUBERT WORK. U. S. Postmaster General I would make an appeal for tbe relief of thcM who work with both bead and band from those vbi work only with their hands and who aw being aploited by leaders for their immediate penona! gtii Those labor organizations which restrict the available employment in a community to its prefentd members and prohibit other member! front seeking employment where they may find it, have not in mini the principlee of unionism and oolteethe bargaising. They are blindly bidding for the open *hop; the competition of disorganization within their ranks and a return to tbe old method of waga determination by efficient, governed by the law of supply and demand, rather than by their own ft*mulatcd rules. As one who believes in the principles of nntoniem, aad in collwti™ bargaining, I would warn all organized labor that sanction! or commit! violence that, although the laws may be diverted, or may be tardy in cution, and although public aentinicnt it slow to anger, yet tbe 100,000.009; of unorganized people in the United Statee will surely control puMn sentiment, will frame their laws and will compel their enforcement !* the greatest union of all is the union of the Stan and Stripes. One half of organized labor is conservative. They are home on and their children become good citirens. They must veiy tjon break a«! from those in their own crafts wh* disregard the right* and of others, who do not approve or practice the creed “An honest dijJ work for an honest da/v wapd,” or who are willing to do murder to b» compel i* ion.
