AMORTIZATION

-IIilnrllZaii ron as used in con-
n"clion with credits mean, that
when the interest is paid each
year small payment is also
made on the capital For instance.
il 81 900 is borrowed at } per cent
To run Is years ON The aIuurtiza-
tIon plan. III" annual payments
would be 500 except the last
year WHEN it, would be s99I.O7. The
first year 5000 would be for in
i"rr>t and $4,000 on the capital.
IN" it'll year til" interest would
be S1.1o and HE amount ON can't
tai S9i.28. II the loan was $1,000
at D per cent for oG years the an
nual payments would be $1,000.
Amortization of loans is a
good principle. If money is bor-
r"w"'i it should be for produce
nv" purpose. And if the produce
non is increased part of that
increase should go to reduce the
of the loan.

A Tiqer Story.

There is a story current at Kuloang,
central China, about q tiger which gave
trouble in that quarter. A missionary
and his wife had been worried by the
tiger providing nightly around their
home. They determined to be rid of
it and one night tied a COW up in the
back yard and a dog at the front of
the house. Then they armed them
selves with guns and kept watch. The
tiger appeared. The missionary fred

lesson as is now before us that W -
allie. even in part. how dependent ".
are on the railroads. Stop the rail
road trains. and in few days ever,
industry in the country would stop
The great -four mills in Minneapolis
for instance, could run for but few
hours. for, aside from the impossi.
bility of obtaining material, the man.
ufactured product could not be moved
out of the way. The packing plants
are in the same condition. Every
lumber mill must shut down at once
for a similar reason. In the districts
where threshing ia under way the
machines must stop because 1t would
be impossible to move the grain. Ev-
cry automobile in the country would
stand still within few days because
gasoline could not be obtained. Great
cities would quickly be brought to the
point of starvation. Should the roads
remain idle for any length OF time,
in spite of the fact that the country
die off like flies in a frost because
the food could NOT be reached.
When we are brought face to face
with the facts we can see something
of the folly of considering the rail-
road business a private business. And
yet 1t is not long since it was so re-
garded. Many men were sincere in
the belief that the operation Of rail-
road was the private affair of those
who had their money invested in it.
and that 1t was an impertinence for
the state to assume any rights in the
matter. No intelligent man holds that
belief today.
And while the owners and man
ayers of the railroads are servants Of
the public. and have duties which
must be performed. it is equally true
that the employees of the railroads are
public servants. and have duties
which must not be ignored.
1t ought not to be possible, and
some day it will not be possible. for
any body Of men, whether owners or
employees, to influct on the great gen.
eral public the injury that would be
suffered in the suspension of the rail-
road business Of the country. Both
employers and employees are entitled
to that which is right and just and
means must be found Of obtaining it
for them. But in the meantime the
trains must run, and the public must
be served.
