to be applied. The government Is about to
announce the necessity for raising $4,000
100000 from all sources before this fiscal

committees OF Congress, and. in sense. has
prepared the people for the demands which
arc about TO be made upon them.
Manifestly the greater share OF thi: i'm
mcnse sum OF money must be raised through
subscriptions to Liberty bonds. Taxation re-
turns will net the government somewhat more
than $ 900, 100000 during the remaining
months OF tho fiscal year The full measure

Commission. or the two bills, the House
measure Is decidedly the better ono. Exist
Ing government control is the result OF the
failure Of the commission to function eff
hcicntly IN its power to determine rates and
regulate traffic after q trial OF more than q
quarter of a century, and there is no reason
to apprehend that it would function any bet
ter in the future than In the past. Since the
government has taken over control Of the
railroads. ability to operate them successfully

How many a time heard those Lincoln tales,
And went forthwith to worry out somo rails.

But since I've grown I've opened up my eyes,
And I'd be more then glad to compromises:
