IL an official receipt book in which thei
expenses of the village are shown fors

is the monthly salary of $lU that was

EXPLAINS CAR SHORTAGE.
Southern Railway Publication Dis
CIsscs Freight Movement.

Southern News Bulletin for Sep
tcmber says that scarcity and high
prices of almost every conceivable ar
'icle from coal to white paper are
now being laid at the door OF the ''car
shortage" Business men and other
citizens who have not felt the slight
est interest in the supply OF freight
cars or in any other problem affect
ing the railways frequently find them
selves unable to buy commodities
which they need or to market their
prodcts readily, and in almost every
instance they are, told that the car
81 ortage" is to blame.
Naturally, then. there is wide in
tcrest In the question :. as to why a
shortage OF freight cars exists and Is
not promptly brought to an end.
The reason for the shortage Is
rloin. During the war the business
of the country increased by leaps and
bounds. but the facilities OF the rail-
ways for handling that business were
not increased in proportion. During
The &c months that the railways were
under federal control the United
States railroad administration con-
tracted for 100000 freight cars. but
the actual number put into service
W ~ Soiltthihs oNeT IL SuOuS&nu Delow
that figure.
Until their property was returned
to them 1t was impossible for the
railway companies to undertake the
financing OF new equipment rurchas-
cs and conditions that have obtained
since March l have been most un-
favorable. In their petition to the in
terstatc commerce commission f)r in =
creased freight rates the railways set
ont that even the strongest compa MES
have to pay more than 7 per cent in
terest to get new capital and that
others have no; heen able t. get II
ut n v prize.
Now that irc comp,iss on has au-
thorized an increase In rates 1t Is
hoped that conditions will change SO
as to enable the railways to borrow
money for the purchase Of new equip
mcnt at favorable rates OF interest.
lut. this change will in all likelihood
lie lgradual. In the meantime the
public will be serving its own interest
by exercising patience and not exp st =
ng the railways to provide equipment
faster than II is possible for them to
secure new capital and procure the
physical building OF cars and engines
that are recognized as needed.

In spite of the tremendous prob
lens faced by French financiers
their task OF rebuilding the entire
economic system OF France as a result
OF the war, and the great work OF

ton now started, all OF which entails
the investment OF millions. Paris capi.

1t is to construct a tunnel beneath
the Straits of Gibraltar. connecting
Erope with Africa and shortening by
g vcral days the passage OF exports
md imports between South america
and northern Europe. With the tun-
rel completed goods cold be shipped
trains from any point In Europe
under the straits to Dakar. where a
four days ocean voyage would bring
them to Rio de Janeiro. The trip
from Paris to Dakar would consume
hut three days.
The project is the scheme OF the

has the backing OF some OF me

The tunnel will be about IA miles

ORIGIN OF DEMOCRACY.
Party OF People Inspired by I'rinci-
pies OF Thomas jefferson.


pies OF Thomas jefferson.
The Democratic party is the old
est political organization in the Unit
I'D States. and was inspired by the
principles laid down. by Thomas JEFF
f-rson. From the time of Washing
toms second administration 1t was
known as tho Democratic Republican
party. and after 1929 as the Demo
cratic party.
The party had its origin with the
question of the adoption of :hc fed
eral constitution. Before then all men
were united in their efforts to cstab-
Fish order following tho trying days
CT the Ptroli.tioE. However, on the
question of adopting the constitution
public opinion was divided. One
group. led by Alexander Hamilton. .ad-
voca,ed its acceptance by tie states
without alterations: another group
declared against sICh rehabilitation
&C power az tho constitution threat
ri "'l 20 impose Upon the country. and
maintained that the States s'.:iold he
invested with almost sovereign au-
thority to assure local sclf-govcrn-
ment. The faction led by Hamilton
won. but the opposition obtained n
promise that Congress. as one of its
FIRST acts, should prop .se n series Of
constitutional amendments guarantee
ing certain inalicnable rights to the
people. Hamilton and othec spokcs-
men for the constitution. in the form
IN which II was adopted, became
known as the Federalists. The nat
lral designation of the opposition,
headed by Thomas Jefferson, was
Anti-Federal!st. and this party was in
every essential the beginning OF the
present Democratic party.
After the adoption of the constitu-
tion the distinction between the Fed .
eralists and Anti-Feieralists became
almost meaningless. All united in an
effort to get the'new government cs-
tnblished as quickly as possible, and
for few years party names were
forgotten. On the eve of the second
presidential election. in 1892, there
sprang up two active groups. the old
Federalist wing becoming known as
the National Republicans and the fol-
lowers OF Jefferson as Democratic
Republicans.
Since the days of jefferson tue
Democratic party has como lown to
the present time closely associated
with tho tngures of Andrew Jack
son. Samuel j. Tilden and Grover
Cleveland.
