HARNWELL, Edltot BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. PRUNE THE SHIPPING BOARD The pruning knife in the hand of General Charles G. Dawes has been working to a purpose, with the result that many mil- lions of dollars will be saved the taxpayers through a reorgani- zation of the departments in Washington and the elimination of unnecessary appropriations. In the past, one of the great ambitions of the bureaucrat has been to secure larger appropriations than were really nee-' essary. Legitimate needs were hardly considered. It was a case of get all you can and spend more than you get, trusting to i congress to make up the deficit. All of this has been changed by Dawes, as director of the budget, and wasteful officials are warned to trim their sails and head in close to the wind if they desire to remain in close con-i tact with their jobs. General Dawes has accomplished a wonderful piece of constructive work, but what will it avail us if the government is going to continue pouring billions into that loose-jointed mav- erick known as the shipping board, which is on a par with our recent airplane orgy of official waste and squandering? Why not turn Dawes loose on the shipping board, with in- structions to prune to the limit? Of course, the general might get into one of his famous "Hell and Maria" moods and blow the thing up with a few tons of dynamite, or tow it out into the Atlantic and sink it. But in either case we are inclined to the belief that he would earn a collective and vociferous "amen" from a hundred million Americans. Taxes are high as it is, without feeding them to an inani- mate gourmand. .nm*nMnim*nimni*i*Mtim OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR i E. H. DENU, Sec. and MftT J. D.

OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS AT HOME AND ABROAD Lord Northcliffe, London newspaper publisher, who is "seeing America," advises Americans to travel abroad. Good advice, provided a person has the financial means) and has seen tiie interesting and instructive points of his own! country first. Ex-service men who have been in England, France, Bel- gium, Germany and other countries will tell you that foreign lands offer nothing better to ,see than what can be found right here in the United States. Nature was at her best when she created this country and' endowed it with its richness, and from the day of its creation it! has been blossoming under the hand of God and man. I There are millions of Americans who apparently do notj realize that many of the marvels,of the earth are within a dayt or two's ride of their homesmarvels that they have never seen. As an example, of the two and a quarter million people in Chicago there are probably not over 20 per cent who have ever seen the stockyards, and yet they are the .greatest in the world. You can watch,a steer unloaded from a stock car and watch it step by step until its meat is in a refrigerator ready for ship- ment. You can trace the path of the hide, and the tallow, the horns and the hoofs, and even down to the blood and the hair, step by step, until they are all turned out a finished by-product ready for the market. And yet but few Americans ever think of visiting this marvel of the age. The stockyards are one of the many sights to be seen in this country. It would require years of travel to see and com- prehend them all. It seems to be the custom for many people who amass a competence to rush right over to some foreign country to "see the sights," of which could be seen at home on the screen for a few cents. They see a few things over there, and miss a lot of things over here. Often they are embarrassed to find that some foreigner who has never been here has a better knowledge of this country than they have themselves. The fellow who rushes abroad without first knowing his own country reminds us of the poor fool who passed by a dull nugget of gold in order to pick up a scintillating piece of glass. We have many of them. .11.00 lllllllllllllHUHIIMIt 11111111^1 That man Lenin is a great joker.
