The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-08-31

When Governor Gardner suggested
a change in the method of operating
the State Penitentiary and the com
plete abolition of the contract labor
system, many Republicans in the Leg
islature and out of it, opposed the
change and asserted that it would
cost the taxpayers at least a million
dollars year. In this connection the
monthly statement of Treasurer Mid
dlekamp is interesting. The report
discloses that the monthly earnings
of the penitentiary for the month Of
July were $90,78671 and the dis
bursements were $86.502.53, leaving
a balance for the month of $4,224.18.
All other State funds show healthy
balances also. State revenue, 1885,
382.58; State school funds, S2,024,-
0O8.11; State road fund, S640,526.4O;
Capitol building fund, S7O7, 831.17.
Democrats of Missouri may well point
with pride to the business record of the
present administration as evidenced
by the splendid financial showing.

SOME POLITICAL ECONOMY


The argument has been advanced
that the wealth and resources of the
United States are impaired to the eX-
tent of all the money spent by the
government for war purposes. The ar
gument is very unsound. There is a
sharp contrast between cost to the
government and cost TO he people Of
the country.
The United States has sold two bill
lion dollars worth of Liberty Loan
Bonds to the people of the United
States and therefore owes two billion
dollars more than it did a few months
ago. When the money for the bonds
has been collected in full and been eX-
pended in full the matter will stand
in this shape:
The people of the United States
will have loaned to their government
two billion dollars in return for which
they will have received two billion
dollars worth Of Liberty Loan Bonds
which is as valuable security as the
world affords. Moreover they will
have in their pockets or their banks
the two billion dollars which they
loaned their government. The gov
eminent will have expended part of
this money itself and those European
nations engaged in war with Germany,
whose obligations our government has
purchased with part Of the money
realized from the sale Of Liberty Loan
Bonds, will have expended the other
part, and all of it will have been spent
in America for American products
and in payment of American wages.
The resources Of the nation, its cap
ital stock so to speak, will not have
been impaired at all. Our farms, our
mines, our factories, in fact all of our
fixed property and Industries will re-
main intact. Our people will simply
have sold some of the annual pro
ducts Of the country, the products Of
its farms, the products of its mines
and the products Of its factories.
Thus the government will have val
ue received for the money it borrowed
from the people and the people will
have value received for the money
they loaned the government and the
products they sold their government
and the European nations engaged
in war with Germany. AS Secretary
Of the Treasury McAdoo has expressed
it-"All of this financing is largely
merely a matter of shifting credits.
All of the money will remain in this
country and will not involve any loss
of gold or any loss of values"
Of course the United States is 60
ing to pay these bonds at maturity
and is going to pay interest on them
in the meanwhile. 1t is going to pay
part with the money it will later col
lect from our debtor European gov
ernments engaged in war with Ger
many; it is going to opay part with
money raised by taxation. 1t is 60
ing to pay them out of the capital of
the United States or out Of the capital

MIR. AMI MRS. BONE
 CELEBRATE 35 YEARS
 WEDDED HAPPINESS

When a husband and wife learn to accept each others opinions as their rights-when they reach perfect un- derstanding-then they have solved the problem of married life. This is the theory of J. T. Bone. county assessor, who yesterday celebrated his thirty fifth wedding anniversary.
 "Thirty-five years of happiness" is the way MT. Bone describes his mar ried life, the greater part of which has been passed in Arizona. When a couple agrees that it is possible to dis agree, they are on the right road to happiness declares MT Bone 'It is the old give and take principle, and it must be applied if one hopes for con- tentment. With it comes sympathy. understanding, foundations for the love that is lasting.'
 It was in Tennessee 35 years ago that pretty Katie Barkeley became the bride of J. T. Bone. They lived in the south for several years, coming to this valley as early as 18SS MT. Bone was rancher for a number of years, until 1912 in fact, when he was elected county assessor, which office he now holds. The family residence is 721 West Fillmore street, and the Bone children" all of whom live in this city are Sam Bone, James Bone, Mrs George Earhardt, Mrs. Walter Wood Miss Callie Bone and Miss Hughie Bone.

TEST RUN
 |S PROVING CLAIMS
 MADE FUR DORT GAR

What is proving one of the most in'
 eresting economy tests is that being conducted by the Leach Motor Car
 company with a Dort car covering a period of ten days, under the official supervision of the American Automo bile Association. Only such tests as are conducted under the official sanction of the A. A. A, are accepted as au thentic Reliable observers carefully check all gasoline, oil and water used and keep tally of all expense repairs.
 With economy as the watchword of today, the Dort is proving all claims made for it and maintaining the won derfully low fuel consumption and re- pair cost. In the first six days of the est, the Dort has covered 2,763 miles, all of which was made back and forth between Los Angeles and San Fran cisco This includes every conceivable kind of road and many miles of noun
 ain ~Iades, and the temperature in
 San Joaquin Valley even reached as
 nigh as one hundred degrees. In spite If these handicaps, the Dort averaged more than 24 miles to the gallon of gasoline, and the oil consumed was so
 little as to be almost negligible, the car averaging over 1,520 miles to the gal lon
 " California climatic conditions are such, says G. H. Reuben, local Dort
 lealer, that some of our Dort owners
 nave had trouble with the car overheat-
 ng, but the Dort factory has spent over
 $50, 100000 in research work and re-
 placements on the coast and the diff culty of preventing overheating has been overcome and all the eleven hun
 1red Dorts in use in California today
 will run perfectly in the hottest wealth
 IT, as has been evidenced by the fact
 that in these seven days running with
 the temperature enroute as high as one hundred twenty-five degrees, the Dort has consumed but 2k gallons of water n going 2763 miles. On Sunday and Monday, the hottest days, no water whatever was used.
 The only trouble outside of pune lures. was the breaking of a washer in he thrust collar which entailed an ex- oense of sixty cents for replacement md labor. This breakage was due tt m imperfect part in the first place q: S evidenced by the fact that none o1 he eleven hundred Dorts now in use il California, have experienced any diff l ,ulty in this line.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 13. - ONan Street)-Pressure ons the stock mar Ret was less severe today but the tendency was still downward. The principal opposing influence consist ed of the requirements of the shorts which led to buying on the breaks in sufficient volume to bring aoout tenn porary reaction, and the movement as a whole was irregular. Total sales 690,000
 Liquidation of investment stocks, involved several issues which hithei to have not been conspicuous in this connection, but at the present price 1 levels, holders were less inclined to press them on the market. There was enough of this selling, howeve. to check any tendency toward sus- tained improvement. St Paul, which sold down to 5S; Reading, Northwest ern, Lehigh Valley, Canadian Pacific, 1 Norfolk and Western, and Baltimore and Ohio showed signs of pressure at | times.
 That the decline was not carried | further probably was due to the large extension of the short inter est re- gently.
