There are many towns and cities

is a Newark in Delaware, Ohio. New
Jersey and New York, all reached by
one road but in widely separated sec

instances might be mentioned, such as
Springfield. Massachusetts, Maryland,
Illinois and Virginia, or Richmond Viz

And so ! reiterate what / said at the
start that the examination of tickets
at the gate before the passenger boards
the train is in way a hardship, but
rather great help TO the traveller. Pas
sengers started on their trip with In

public appreciates the attention and Is
saved much avoidable delay and trouble
by the few words of intelligent direction
given at the gate.

Industrial School Controversy.

Golden.-In relation to the attack OF
the labor unions on the wiring done
at the school Superintendent Paddle
ford OF the State Industrial school,
says that he would be glad to have
a committee from the Electrical Work
ers' union examine the wiring at the
school. For the last twenty-three
years the boys have done all the cleo
trio wiring at the institution and dur
ing this time, he says, there has never
been trouble due to defective work.
He objects to the union calling the
boys convicts and says that the faith
ers of three-fourths of them are union
men.
In addition to the wiring the boys
do all the work about the school. such
as running the dynamos and pumps
blacksmithing. horseshoeing, machine
work, make their own clothes, shoes
and the wagons used at the institu-
tons VI MoulhGe lbieeYsss ID Aah 5 al ao2 III
making complaint as the electricians.
The appropriation allowed the school
by the .;tate does not justify hiring
all this work done and the boys arc
taught these trades under competent
instructors, thus giving them oppor-
tunity to make an honest living when
they go out into the world.

Santa Fe Fined for Relating.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Judge Olin Well
born, In the United States District
Court Thursday fined the Atchison,
Topeka G. Santa Fe Railroad Company
$3.50, 900 for "rebating." The fine was
what the court denominated IAN inter-
mediate penalty" the maximum which
might have been assessed being ST.
10000 and the minimum 100000.
The court reviewed the case in
written opinion of some lelgth in
which it is stated that there were suf-
Jicient doubtful and extenuating cir
cumstances to preclude the possibility
of maximum sentence, and yet suffi-
cient intention of wrong-doing shown
to make impossible a minimum pen
atty.
The Santa Fe company was con-
victed October 18th last, by jury in
the Federal Court, of granting rebates
to the Grand Canon Lime and Cement
Company of Arizona. 1t was found
guilty on all of the sixty-six counts
charged in the Indictment after but

POSTAL SAVINGS
BANKS FAVORED
BY POSTMASTER GENERAL, WHO
ALSO PREDICTS ESTABLISH
MENT OF PARCELS POST.
SUCH BANKS NEEDED
WOULD ACT TO PREVENT PRI.
vATE BOARDING OF MONEY
AND KEEP 1T MOVING.

Chicago. Postmaster General
of honor Thursday at the banquet of
the Industrial club Of Chicago and
gave his views regarding postal i'm
provements, including the establish
ment of postal savings banks and the
extension. of the parcels post system,
which he will recommend to Congress
in his annual report.
He said the Postoffice Department
during the past fiscal year sent to
Europe the money of immigrants to
the extent of $71,OOO,000. He esti-
mated the amount of money in the
United States at 1928, 05G,673, of
which $1,O1O, 900 is in the banks,
1888 ,S55, 1853 is in the treasury and the
balance, Sits, sol 500 in the hands OF
individuals and otner sources.
For a striking illustration of the
value OF a postal savinks bank, take
the present time" said MI. Meyer
Many small accounts have been with
drawn from national banks, trust COM
panNs and savings banks by timed
depositors, and the money has gone
into the strong box or into hiding
On occasions like these what the PEG
Pile want is absolute security. After
they withdraw their money they dread
loss from theft or by fire, but they
do not lose confidence in the security
of the government or its pledges.
\ Therefore the small accounts referred
to would flow into the postal savings
banks and would be led back into the
channels of trade by being deposited
in the national banks in those COM
munities, to the great advantage OF
labor and industry.
when a crisis had passed and con-
fidence had been restored the money
would be returned to the savings
banks, because in the postal savings
banks it would receive only about half
the interest paid by savings banks.
If the money is withheld from national
banks or trust companies it loses the
benefit of being drawn b. check nor
if deposited in postal savings bank
can the depositor receive accommoda'
ton in the way of loan or the &C
ceptance of business paper. In other
words, the Postoffice Department is
p ..~-g-i--r-i..tv- tire Danhins business
1t desires only to encourage thrift
and to offer an accessible and safe
form of depositing savings by natur
allied citizens and foreigners. as well
as by our people living in out-of-the
way places"
believed the need for both parcels
post and postal savings banks would
be recognized by Congress this year.

May Trade for e-te Lands.

Denver-In the opinion of the at
torney general the state may sell
lands for other than cash remunera-
tions. The State Land Board some time
ago consulted Attorney General w. II.
Dickson On this point and yesterday
the opinion was handed down by
Ralph Talbot.
The case in point was that Of the
La lara Meadows Land G. Reservoir
Company, which wishes to secure LAT
acres of the state land in southern
Colorado. It is said that water rights
would in many cases be more advan-
tageous for the state in the sale of
public lands than cash, and 1t is prob
able that many sales will now be
made in exchange for water rights.

Business Conditions Better.

New York-R G. Dun & Co. report
that trade conditions throughout the
United States during the past week
have shown a marked improvement
over the preceding seven days period.
The issuance of clearing house GER
tificates and checks in communities
where the circulation Of currency has
been restricted has had no apparent
effect on the volume of trade.
Especially is this true in the retail
lines, where the demand generally has
been steady and of increasing volume
as the season advances.
The tone of the incoming weekly re-
ports is one of healthy Industrial and
financial conditions in every section
heard from up to tonight.
In some instances there is tendency
to act upon conservative basis in
placing heavy orders for future deliv-
cry. and this course is being counseled
by the jobbers themselves. who already
having the situation well in hand are
anxious that 1t shall move forward on
the soundest possible footing.
One of the most gratifying features
of the weeks reports from the princi-
pal trade centers Is that the jobbers
are carrying fewer past due accounts
on their books than for many years.
In the iron markets there is tendency
to supply immediate needs only, but
the price OF the metal holds good.
Business failures for the week have
shown no appreciable increase over
those of four weeks past, the percent
age of failures reaching the 100000
mark and over remaining small.
The reports coming from the inte-
rior of the country were received with
satisfaction in New York and were con-
sidered by business interests as indi
eating the ability of the rest of the
country to weather the storm as sue.

State Raises Royalty.

Denver-Six cents on the ton will
be charged the Victor Coal Company
in the future instead of 5 as has beer
customary heretofore. The Victor
company has coal mines in Huerfano
county on state land and always made
the claim to the land board that only
fifty per cent of the output was coal
and the rest was slack. The rate is
10 cents on the ton and where but
fifty per cent. of the ore is lump coal,
but cents to the ton was charged.
But the land board has concluded that
the company in question Is securing
sixty pei cent. lump coal from the ore
and hence the rate has been advanced
to cents.

Public Manners.

There are few persons who can
work their way through crowd. or
can even walk on the busy shopping
streete Of large American towns and
cities, without occasionally losing
their temper, or, at any rate, feeling
considerable irritation. The reason Is
not SO much the crowd itself and the
consequent slowness of progress, al
though that may be annoying; 1t is the
manners of the crowd, the constantly
repeated incidents of rudeneSs and
selfishness You are hurrying along,
intent on your business, but neverthe-
less carefully keeping on your own
side of the walk, when the man imme-
diately in front of you cuts diagonally
across, without stopping to see how
near you are to his heels. You stumble,
and he turns his head long enough to
scowl. Or perhaps it is a woman VINO

breaches of manners are thoughtless
rather than Intentional. Too great an
absorption in oneself and ones own in

good manners spring from recogni-

all bad manners from disregard Of
