THE BANKRUPTCY OF BRITISH

Before the war socialism ~ tho

In London there are private omni-
buses and socialist trolleys. The
omnibuses pay small profit and
the trolleys are bankrupt. The ON
nibuses pay tax Of 5000 per bus;
the trolleys pay nothing. The buses
are solvent and popular: the trolleys
are five million dollars in debt and
generally disliked. Twenty years
ago the socialists promised that the
profit on the trolieys would wipe out
most Of the rates; and the operating
loss in the last three months has
been nine million dollars.

strip along the north bank. A maze
Of gulch and cliff, Of gully and blur !;
all bearded thick with trees and dense
undcrbrush; oil alive with the teasing
mystery Of growing things.
The path the girl travelled wound
itself. or rather unwound itself. right
through the heart of the hills, deep
into the mystery Of the thick woods.
until II turned sharply and led up the
east bank Of Wolf run. the little
stream In which the Pearihunter had
washed the elecampane roots.
A short distance above the pool. 20
near that the Pearlhunter wondered
he had not seen II before. a three
gabied, one-story log cabin snagged
back against the bluffs Just where they
left the bank Of the stream and curved
70 the east. A step farther, a small
plot Of creek bottom had been cleared
and fenced---what the Flatwoods called
a garden patch" Back Of the gar
den. a stable Rugged the blur. but It
was half hidden BY rank weeds.
The cabin was built Of hewn logs,
notched artistically at the corners.
The roof projected well beyond the
walls; the chimneys were Of red brick :
the doors and windows Of finish
rather more pretentious than was
common in the woods. There were
three wings. extending at right an.
giles from common center, making
four rooms. In all. three along 1.-THE
front, with another, probably the
kitchen, extending back from the Gen.
tral room.
Where the path left the stream to
turn toward the door the girl paused
and held out her hand for the basket.
Slowly the PearIhunter passed Il over.
Il was an awkward moment. His
eyes Travelled past her to the tiny
garden. He noticed that the fence
around II was sagged and broken. The
garden, however, appeared to be clean
and well-kept. Aside from this---and
the howers-the place showed a very
sad lack Of care.
The underbrush along the blufYs
trembled slightly, but enough to at
tract the woodsman's eyes. Nolseless-

noiseless as the unfo'ding OF flower

by It's border OF quaking leaves, there
grew face-sad and vacant. with
pitiful eyes; Enthusiastically, though he
had never seen IL before. the gaunt

Of the Treasury. who should be APP

1t Is he. kind and benevolent as we

ton saying with menace in his voice
and gesture that the American people
are much too frisky and that for their
own good. and TO keep them on the
ground. as II were, he proposes to
urge upon Congress a still heavier
increase OF taxes than any expert
enced since war came and the sad
years.
All the benevolepce of Mr.. Hous-
tons character seems to have been
aciduIated in this wise. He has had
very busy seven years Of II In

den was reached last month. when for
some time he was in charge OF two

of the bags of bullion of the former
prosperous years. Mr.. Houston's
friends thought he needed a Vaca-
ton. and for once the Secretary

White Sulphur. but with equally dis
appointing results. Everybody was
very sorry, but there were abso-
lutely no accommodations available,
and fnalIy the Secretary decided to
postpone his weekend rest until mid
summer.
New Taxes May Result.
This Is bad enough, but there is
worse to come. There is reason to be-
Iieve that the Secretary OF the Treas
ury has reached another decision and
one that more closely Affects the
purses and the property OF his Tel
low -citizens. Whenever fiscal dis
cussions take place. and they IRE
quentiy do in his presence. the new
Secretary Of the Treasury strikes an
attitude which is hard as adamapt
and wholly lacking in the milk OF
human Kindness.
