We say with no more expense, be-
cause the rate of interest on such pa
per is very reasonable. and no town
can afford to do without needed facil-
tiles on account of it.
Now as to saddling debt onto flu
ture generations, as they term it.
Suppose the bonds have been issued
and the school has been established.
The bonds will have a life of twenty
years at least. In the meantime A. S
children have been educated and are
in business for themselves long before
the debt is paid, and in all probable
ity have succeeded to their fathers
business, and it is really they who
pay the debt at last, and not he. Fur
thermore, for their payment they
have a tangible asset in the shape of
the institution, which stands ready to
do for their children what it has
done for them.
We might add that this principle

of civic improvement-the genera
ton that benefits most is usually the
one that does most of the paying.
So that, summing up the matter
from sensible and practical point of
view, no town can afford to be with
out needed improvements from a mis-
taken fear of injustice to future gen
erations on account of bond issues.

HH>%>>>>>>>>>> (
Bonding For Municipal Improvements

1t has long been a mooted question
with the towns and smaller cities OF
our country as to whether or not they
were justified in issuing municipal
bonds for purposes of public improve
ment.
One stock argument of the ants has
always been that one generation is
not justified in saddling a debt upon
future generations.
But let us consider this.
We will say that the town of Jones'
VILE has set it's heart upon acquiring
a modern technical training school.
The subscription plan has failed to
achieve it, and direct taxation is out
of the question. At least it would
be many years before sufficient funds
could be realized by direct taxation.
We will suppose, first, that the
town decides to resort to direct taxa
ton and establishes fund that is in
tended in the course of ten or twenty
years to furnish means for establish
ing the desired institution.
We presuppose that the town feels
the need of such a school, that her
young people may be properly equip
ned for a life of usefulness. In the
meantime, under the waiting pro-
gram, they are either not receiving
the necessary instruction, or else they
are being sent away to some other
place to acquire it. In the latter
case. the knowledge is dearly bought,
and in the former, lives that might
have been made of great usefulness
to the world have been stunted and
nullified by the failure to acquire
competent training.
Now, as to the bonding PROPOSE
ton. And right here property be-
comes a big factor in the problem.
Let us take Mr.. A. as representing
the property interests, which, OF
course are expected to bear the chief
burden of taxation. He has family
of boys to be educated and trained
in professions and trades. Under the
waiting Milan this is accomplished at
great expense, vastly more than we
would have had to pay had the bonds
been issued, or else his own children
are. debarred the education they

Watch Them!

Reports have been coming in of the
sale of crops Sin the field" in ~ad-
vance of the harvest, to be delivered
on the order of the buyer, or to be
harvested by the buyer at his pleas
ure.
Past experience has shown our peo-
pie that in many instances these
crops are never harvested. This is
not oversight on the part of the pur-
chaser, as some credulous person
might think. 1t is deliberate and with
a purpose. The crops are bought with
this possible end in view.
Our food hogs are shrewd. Gov
eminent and State reports presage a
record production of food crops this
year. In the natural order of things
this would be bound to lower prices
to some extent, even in the face of
the heavy foreign demand. But this
is just what the food speculatOr does
not wish to see occur. To avoid it he
must evolve some plant to "retire" a
greater or less proportion of the crop
from the markets. Hence they are
bought up Gin the field'-and, if our
officials are not careful, many of them
will rot in the field.
We believe that the greater major
ity of our farmers are loyal to the
core. We do not believe they will
connive at a practice that tends to
both waste and extortion.
Loyal farmers, it is up to you to
see that the purchaser of your crops
you have sold any Gin the
field"-moves these crops at the prop
er time. In case they are not so
moved, and loss or even waste is
threatened, it is your sacred duty as
loyal citizen to notify the authorities
in charge of the food situation at
Washington, and you should do this
while there is yet time to save the
crop.
Our sons and brothers in France
are going tC need every ounce of our
produce that we can send them. Let
us see that none of it goes to waste
through the "carelessness" of these
spectators.

1t may be that we will strike dis
cordant note, with the many other
matters now claiming public atten-
ton, but even so we wish to sound a
warning against the neglect of the
public roads Good roads were never
more urgently needed than now.
With the nation striving every nerve

our highways would be, to put it
mildly, very poor economy. We

and the mules shook themselves,
while the jackals that haunt the Khy-
Der came closer, to sit in ring and
watch. King dug fashlight out OF

Ismail that the fashlight was harm
less, and another minute before he
could get him to hold it still. Then,
however. he wrote swiftly.

He folded the note and stuck a post
age stamp on it in lieu of seal. Then
he examined the packs with the aid
of the hash-light, sorted them and
ordered two of the mules reloaded.

the loaded mules into Ali Masjid Fort.

sahib in command there
They stood and gaped at him, wide
eyed-then came closer to see his
eyes and to catch any whisper that
Ismail might have for them. But Is
mail and Darya Khan seemed full of
having been chosen to stay behind;
they offered no ggestions-certainly
no encouragement to mutiny.

est man, Selling the note, for at all
events that was the easiest task. His
action decided the other two. They
took the mules leading-reins and fol-
lowed him. Before they had gone ten

squatted at Kings feet

Khan came closer, too. King had tied
the reins of the two horses and the
one remaining mule together in

Solemn, almost motionless. squatted

PEOPLE SHOULD
FORM CLUBS TO
CUT COAL PRICES
Professor Stockton of Indi-
ana University Has Solu-
ton for Problem.

BLOOMINGTON. Ind, June 2O-The
people of the state should see what
they can do toward helping them
selves In the present movement to re-
duce coal prices in Indiana, Prof F. T.
Stockton, Of Indiana University. de-
clared In a statement made public to-
day. He said:
Now that the Public Service Com
mission of the State OF Indiana has
declared there is no excuse at present
for the high prices of coal, 1t is time
for the people Of the state to see If
they cannot do something on their
own accord to secure lower prices At
the same time the commission should
do everything in its power to force the
hand of the mine operators and local
dealers.
One thing Indiana people might do
is to form coal buying clubs to pur-
chase directly from the mines. OF
course this can be done only by COM
paratively large number Of persons
acting together so that a big order
can be placed.
Employers Can Help
Large employers of labor can per-
form a service for their employees by
ordering In carload lots for distribu-
ton at cost. Perhaps this would be
a more feasible plan than the first
because it is difficult to get group Of
scattered consumers to act together
The employer, however. would be in a
position where he would have the
facts concerning coal costs. transpor-
tation, etc, and he could aid his help
without compelling the latter to form
an organization.
Here in Bloomington one company
has provided store to sell to en-
rloyees at cost. The same plan could
be extended to the retailing of coal
a, saving to all concerned.
Except during an emergency, In
diana cities do not seem to possess
the constitutional authority to buy
coal or foodstuffs for resale to citi-
zens Perhaps the courts might hold
that the present situation constitutes
an emergency. There is grave doubt
about this. however
For myself, believe 1t is no more
than fair that our cities should pos
sess the power to buy and sell neces-
sites when the private distribution
thereof leads to excessive prices and
serious public Inconvenience. Call
this socialism, II you wish. There are
some people who try to frighten timid
souls anything socialisuc which con-
stitutes an extension Of government
interests in the welfare of the ma
jority"
