The Border ManeuNers

While any day may make a great
change in the situation on the Mexican
border and force the administration to
show its hand regarding the maneuvers
Of the military forces, the decision oil
the president is to let congress take
control of the situation. Congress,
Judging by the vigorous expressions by
various individual members OF that body,
will be nothing loath to do so. 1t is a
fine chance for Democratic inquiry and
investigation.
But will the country be any the wiser
for the inquiry? Such probing as is
threatened is undertaken with the pro-
viso that information be furnished if 1t
can be done without prejudice to the
interests of the nation. Now, if grave
questions of state prompted the move
ments of the army and navy, and pre-
sumably they did, it is quite likely those
reasons will not be published recklessly
to the world.
Notwithstanding this, there will be
opportunity for large quantity of SEN
sational debate in congress, all of which
will give the news associations work and
the people interesting reading.
The president has assured Japan, and
all the rest of the world, this country
had no thought Of any possible difficult
ties with the mikado's realm. However,
the military activity and the speculations
regarding the causes for it have caused
the public to give great deal OF thought
to the relations existing between Japan,
this country, and with other countries
generally.

Government Bonds for Public

Unincorporated cities Of the United
States will soon enjoy the novel privilege
Of investing in government bonds, says
the Saturday Evening Post, privilege
that has been practically withheld from
them for many years. Over four-ffths
Of the bonds now outstanding are held
BY national banks, and for practical pur-
poses they are not available to other in
vestors. They bear only 2 per cent
interest, and none but national bank
can take advantage Of the compromising
right of issuing circulating notes against
them.
Aside from national banks there are
only 10000 registered holders of gov
eminent bonds in the country; though
France, with less than half our popula-
ton, has between 100000 and S.
600, 900 government bondholders.
A month ago congress authorized the
issue of Panama canal bonds, bearing 8
per cent interest and not available as a
basis for banknote circulation. They
will come upon the market simply as
an investment and open up long-ob-
structed channel between the govern
ment and the investing public. A
channel of that description is advantage
Gus to both parties concerned. II a
man is looking for a safe place to put a
thousand dollars, it is obviously no bad
thing for him to have, among other OPP
portunities, the option of buying gov
eminent bond on an investment basis.
Other investments must meet that com
petition.
For a long while the strongest OF all
competitors - the government - has
been out OF the investment market.
The government now owes, in round
numbers, 5000, 100000 interest bear
ing debt, mostly held by the banks.
The amount Of debt is hardly likely to
decrease; but the time is coming when
banknote circulation will be based on
something besides bonds, and the gov
eminent must rely upon actual investors
to carry its debt. Looking toward that
future, it is an excellent thing for the
government to begin getting in touch
with investors now.

Great Aux Long Disappeared

Although it is as long ago as 1874
that the last great aux was seen alive,
and the peculiar bird is set down as
extinct, there is still faint hope that
somewhere in the cold regions it may
be making final stand for existence.
The great aux, or care fowl, was
strange rover after its ranks were di-
minished by wholesale slaughter. It
disappeared from the Orkneys for a full
century, and then, in 1913, pair
showed up only to perish there. The
tragedy of this pair was pitiable. Tho
the islanders called them the king and
queen. of the auks," the female was
killed by stone while sitting on her
precious egg. The disconsolate mate
went away. Great auks were scarce
even then, and when he returned the
next year it was without any mate. and
before long a fisherman shot him.
Eight years or so later one great aux
was taken alive on a small island near
St. Kilda, and it is believed in 1910
another was captured and killed as be-
ing the cause of a tempest. In Iceland,
or near the coast line, few remained
until 1874, when what appear to have
been the last two on earth were taken
alive on Geirfugla-sker, rocky skerry
near Reikjanes.
Thus persisted race of birds so i'll
adapted to self preservation that on
Punk island, Newfoundland, many years
ago, sailors used to drive them into
pounds like so many sheep. Meanwhile
the record price for great auk's egg
stands at 800 guineas-abont $500.
There are only 10 or rs eggs known,
and they are worth all told just about
that many thousand dollars. The skins
and mounted specimens in existence
are 80 in mber.-Harper's Weekly

To Tell the Age of a Horse

There are four ways to tell the age
of a horse, according to Prof. E. l..
Potter of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege: By his teeth, by his ribs, by the
flesh on his tail, and by the skin on his
cheeks.
In a young horse the cheek skin is
soft and elastic, and flies back quickly
when raised; in an old one it is lifeless
and goes back but slowly.
Old horses apparently have wider
and more distinct space between their
ribs than young ones. And with age
the flesh on the tail Of horse shrinks
making the Joints more distinct than
they are on young horse.

Judging by the changes in the teeth
is more accurate method. The com
ing Of the temporary teeth first, and
then the permanent ones; the develop
ment to maturity; the change in shape
on account Of wear; the coming Of the
cups in the teeth, and their wearing
away afterward; and the change in
the angle of meeting Of the teeth,
from straight together at 5 years to a
sharp angle at 20-all these are signs
by which the experienced horseman can
read accurately the ageof horse.
1T must be remembered the perma-
nent teeth, above and below, come in
at the same time" says Prof. Potter,
but that the cups above do not wear
away until all the cups below are gone.
It must also be remembered that the
changes begin at the center and con
tinue at the rate of one pair a year;
that a horse at maturity, which is at )
years, has everything-that is all his
permanent teeth and all the cups. II
one remembers this much he has the
whole thing in a nutshell"

VIII Have Bill Ready

we shall have a tariff bill ready very
soon," says the chairman Of the Ways
and Means committee Of the new con-
gress. I'VE did not expect an extra ses-
sion. It was the expectation OF the
Ways and Means committee it would
have all summer to work on the bill.
In consequence we are not quite pre-
pared; but we shall have two or three
schedules ready to present within two
OF three weeks after congress convenes.
In the meantime we are busy. As to
the details, that is something we are
not saying anything about just now.
The chairman Of the Ways and Means
committee would not make any guess
as to the length of the session; but there
is a general notion in Washington that
it will be long one. The Democrats
seem intent on trying to do something.
It is possible they may be willing to re-
fer all the important measures to com
mit:ees to report at the next session, if
they can be SHOWN that business will
suffer through too much legislation; but
here is vast, pent-up food Of legisla-
i've energy, and it seems likely it will
axe months TO relieve the pressure.

Why This S1OO,OOO,OOO?

Recently the Chicago, Milwaukee y
St. Paul Railway Company built an ex-
tension, some 1900 miles in length, to
the Pacific coast, according to late
number of the Saturday Evening Post.
This extension cost $123, 100000 all
Of which was supplied by the St. Pau's
opulent treasury; in evidence whereof,
the separate company which was organ
lied to build the extension handed over
to the St. Paul $10O,O00,000 of stock;
so the extension is now capitalized that
much in excess of its cost.
Since the St. Paul owns the extension
and holds in its treasury all Of the secu-
rites, this might be regarded as only
family affair, Of no concern to the pub
lie. To make the extension books bal
ance, however, the value OF the road
must be set down at not 100000
but at 1928, 100000. If it earns net
s6,OO0,OO0 this year the books will
show not that earnings amounted to 5
per cent on the investment but that
thew amounted to less than 3 per cent.
Freight and passenger rates might be
adequate if they yielded S per cent on
the investment, but would be made
quate if they yielded less than 3.
Concerning the $1OO,0Oo,0Oo stock,
we hear that the value of property in
all the towns along the line has much
increased because Of the building OF the
extension and that the real estate owned
by the company will presently be worth
500, 900, 900 more than it cost, thereby
absorbing all the water in the stock.
Granting that the company is entitled
to this profit, why not show it on the
books as profit rather than as an orig
inal investment, when no such invest
ment was made.
We recommend this modern instance
to the consideration OF the Railroad Sc
curities Commission, which is nov
sitting (April - trying to find GU
whether the issue OF railroad stocks anC
bonds should be subject to federal reg
ulation.
