GOVERNMENT AND BOND ISSUES

For the first time in ten years the
government is about to reduce it's
bonded debt. That is gratifying, OF
course, but the circumstances under
which the operation is to be perform
ed do not speak very forcibly for the
intelligence Of our financial policy.
however eloquently they may tell Of
the astuteness Of the individuals who
profit by it.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has
offered to buy bonds to the amount
OF $2o,OO0,O00 to ease the money mar
ket. He proposes to pay 1929 for 4
per cents Of 1907, or Ill for 5 per
cents OF 1904. That would release
from s27,75O,0OO to s28, 197, 500 if the
bondholders should avail themselves
ct the offer to its fullest extent.
Looking at the matter with refer
ence merely to the present point Of
time the Secretary's proposition is
advantageous to the government.
The money is lying idle in the treas
ury, and by using it in this way we
shall save about million dollars a
year in interest.
But how does that money happen
to be in the treasury 1t is there be-
cause this Administration and it's
predecessor issued bonds Ter it. The
per cents for which Secretary Gage
ID now offering 1l27s were originally
issued at par. That is to say, the
government proposes to pay back
l,l28,750 for every million dollars it
received, after having already paid
$980,000 in in terest.
On some Of the other loans the
showing is even worse. -Four years
ago President Cleveland sold So, 49,
400 Of per cents Of 1925 tc the Nor
gan-Belmont syndicate at fraction
over 1O4. If the government should
try to buy back any Of these bonds
today 1T would have to pay 1907. 1t
is not enough for the government to
buy or sell bonds whenever it suits
the convenience of Mr.. Morgan and
tbs interests he represents-it must
also buy dear and sell cheap.-New

Revised Slang.

The word "rubber-necking," which
has expressed so much SO well, has
descended into such general use, says
the Louisville Times, that it promises
to be grated into the English lam

pronounced vulgar, however, by some;
so comes II bright young Louisville
woman with word to take it's place.
She says hereafter "peninsulating"
must be used instead of rubber-necl-
ing.
"And why peninsulating, pray?"
asked the favored young man to whom
she suggested the substitute.
Without word she went to the Ii
