A WAR EXPENSE

~ ONGRESS is asked tC
" make up a heavy deficit
for the railroads, incurred
during the war and since that
time. Mr.. Hines, director gen.
eral, says that the deficit was
due to war conditions. Before
becoming director general he
was a railroad official, being
chairman of the directors of
the Aatchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe. Therefore it may be as
sumed he has some knowledge
on the subject. For nearly two
years the railroads were put to
a tremendous strain by the war
demands and supplies had to
be rushed, regardless of the
cost. Wages and all other ex-
penses were increased. A de-
ficit was inevitable and it had
to be met either by an appro-
priation from congress or by in
creased rates. Had rates been
raised to meet the increased
costs the burden would have
fallen on a few affected by the
increased rates which would
have been unfair since the war
expenses should fall on all the
people. The fair way is for
congress to meet the deficit by
an appropriation.
No man of intelligence will
censure the federal director of
railroads because he is asking
that the government meet the
deficit. 1t would have been
grossly unfair to have made up
the railroad war deficit in any
other manner. Nor can any
fair minded citizen argue the
fact of this deficit as showing
the incompetency of govern
ment management of railroads.
The government, like its soldi-
ers was waging war, and war
waging requires that you for
get current earnings.

it will be because they dare not
to do otherwise. 1t will be be-
cause they fear the allied
armies. Would Representative
Kahn rely on Germany's high
sense of honor to sign the trea-
ty; would he have had our
army all brought home before
we know everything is o. X?
There is no question but that
our soldiers would like to get
home and we would all like to
have them home. On the other
hand no argument is necessary
to show the advisability of
keeping a strong force in
Europe until all is well. 1t is
demagogic to criticise our gov
ernment upon this point and no
one it in better position than
Mr.. Kahn to know this.

been approved for trade and
industrial training, SAG for ag-
ricultural, more than 1900 for
commercial and business cour-
ses, about $50 for professional

ninety-two are taking academic

One of the difficulties the
Board for Vocational Educa-
ton is that of convincing dis
ton faces is that of convincing
disabled men of the generous
aid offered by the government.
That all expenses and refrain
ing are paid and in addition
the needs of wife and children
supplied; that this is not con-
sidered a loan, but the payment
Of a just debt, and that their
only obligation is to make good

rue. But when the disabled
soldier realizes that he is the

but of national graft
