COQUILLE, Ore., Peb. 6.—Antone;
Baarbacher, Leneve rancher, has
been ordered committed to the state
hospital for th« insane.
Baarbacher was ‘taken into cus

tliHt his life and that of his sistei

j DANISH STATE
IS EXPENSIVE
! Situation Revealed in Speech
| —Whole Departments
Must Be Scrapped.
COPENHAGEN, rtenmark, Feb 6.
—An Inflight into Danish finances
is lo be found in a recent speech in
the Rigsdag by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer. He says the eitua
tlon is by no means enviable, and he
calls for immediate reductions iu
state expendtures as preferable to
increased taxation.
Increase Noted.
The expenditures of Denmark have
risen enormously since 1913, accord
ing to a Danish economist. Pen
years ago the annual total income
of Danish citir.ens amounted to 775,.
000,000 crowns, of which 82,000,000,
or a little more than 10 per cent,
were paid to the slate in taxes.
Denmark now confronts a budget of
560,000,000 crowns, or nearly seven
timep as much as before the war.
Between 1914 and 1921 Denmark
had a national income of 12,750,
000,000 crowns, of which 2,437,000,
Oon, or about 20 per cent, were paid
into the national treasury. Hence it
is seen what an expensive luxury
the state has become.
Back to Normalcy.
- Denmark must strive hard to get
heck to normalcy in her expendi
ture," a leading Danish business
man has said to the correspondent ol
The Associated Press. It is no good
nibbling at the salary of the in
dividual ofTiciul. That merely make:
for inefficient public servants, ant]
will nnltf 1-n.lnnA n Aw Jtl..._ a
million. No, It in necessary to serai
"'hole departments, or at least rd>
diice the number of personnel by one
third or one half of the present
number. Government depart menu
have, in so-called good times, a ten
dency to mushroom growth, and ev
ery newly-appointed offieal creates
work for another one. The result
has been far too many officials and
more expensive street car and rail
road fares. gas. electricity, etc.,
without a corresponding increase in
quality of commodity, or service.”
Definite Policy.
Another prominent leader in the
commercial world was more definite
in his policy. He deplored, for in
stance, that the Danish Foreign
Office, at a time when other Gov
ernments were cutting down ex
penses, had increased costs by ap
pointing new ministers and consuls
everywhere. In his opinion It was
high time for minor states like Den
mark to abolish altogether the costly
practice of keeping ministers abroad.
He suggested merging the present
consul-general and minister Into one
person, a kind of high commissioner,
who should chiefly look after the
business end of tha nation's inter
ests, leavng polities! problems to the
solution of special delegations.

■j FILE INCOMES
DETROIT. Mich., Feb. 6.—So thor
1' oughly are Federal officers running
c down income tax evaders that even
1 bootleggers have taken alarm and
s are listing their illicit profit.s with j
s the government, according to Fred
I,. Woodworth, Collector of Internal,
1 Revenue, here.
'Mr. Woodworth asserts that sev-!
e _
son?, of largo income, who frankly
admit in writing they are boptleggera.
He suv? the department i? tracing
them through sales records of auto

Russia Is Selling
Grain for Export
STOCKHOLM, Feb. I>.—According
to telegrams to the Dagens Nytheter,
from Helsingfors, the Russian State
Bank has sold 3,000 tons of rye to
Finland, and has offered a further
33,000 tons to be shipped as soon as
possible.
iConflirm.ition of this has been ob
tained from the Soviet delegation
now in Stockholm, the members of
which express surprise and indigna
tion at such procedure in view of
the now famine which is threatening
in Russia, The Russian excuse for
the exportation of food stuff is that
Russia's railways at present are not
aide to distribute large quantities of
cereals collected as taxes, and that
funds obtained for exported r.ve and
wheat can be used to buy foreign
foodstuffs, which are easier to d
tribute when coming linto Russia by
way of the Black Sou.
