ported out late yesterday. The bill pro
yides funds for state Institutions for
the next two years, and is one Of the
major considerations Of the special ses-
sion. It had been expected out Of com
mittee several days ago, but was de-
!ayed. The bill carries total appro-
priation of s9,329,39O. The bill making
appropriations for the same institutions

The senate is today without any def.

YUBA TRACTOR CRIPPLED

The big track layer tractor of the
Yuba brand which the county has
been using for its very heavy work
Off blowing and grading was taken
apart this week to celan it up and
get it in condition. The track layer
part of it had become somewhat
worn and it needed Tightening. Be-
cause of the fact that it had been
operated too loose, the bearings were
wearing and taking damage in a way
they would not had they been tight
ened earlier. Some of the mammoth
coil springs were so loaded with
grease and dust that it had hardened
and taken all the spring out of them.
tt had become SO hard and tough
they had to take a chisel and hammer
to chip it out and put the springs in
condition SO they could spring. I
the tracklayeT part of the tractor
were 290 ball bearings and they were
all taking more or less damage due
to the fact that 1t was not clean and
tight.
When it was taken apart, If we
understood correctly, something fell
and broke part of the track or the
tracklayer part and an estimate indi-

at the Bay of Bengal. Alexander the Great con-
quered armies of every kind and color, great
and small and his men defeated in open battle
1000 elephants and all their riders and hackers,
but the year after when he f1oated down the
Ganges in ships, vast number of wooden ships
built the best the times afforded, he met new
enemy that put even Alexander to fight.
Up to that time astronomers and scientists
knew little if anything about the tides and
Alexander had never heard of them. He had
lived mostly around the Mediterranean, where
there is no tide. As he passed out of the delta
of the Gauges river with his hundreds Of ships,
the tide came in and made his ships turn upon
one another and whip themselves to pieces, even
the river reversing itself when Alexander's feet
arrived and turned back upon it with ever in

BOOSTING BUYING

A. campaign is now under way to
STIMULATE buying. The moving pic
ture theaters are ~sorted to to pre-
sent an appeal to purchasers TO put
in orders for future delivery in order
that employment may be stimulated
In that way No mention is made Of
price, it apparently being assumed
that increased buying should be urged
whether there is any change in price
or not. Such propaganda cannot
hope for success.
The consuming public is not going
to make purchases Of articles that
still retain their war price levels and
unemployment in those lines Of
manufacture is going to be very hard
to remedy. Industries that afe.in a
position to advertise a return to pre-
war conditions are not only going to
win back their normal share Of trade,
but they are going to gain much Of
the market heretofore enjoyed by
their high priced competitors.
Removal'of the conditions that keep
prices at abnormally high levels is
the only permanent relief that can be
applied to the unemployment situa-

INTEREST DUE FROM EUROPE

As the debate progresses on the tax
bill, members Of Congress and the
people generally are taking renewed
interest in the status Of the foreign
debt to this country Of more than
$1,000. 100000.
Senators ard representatives are
receiving hundreds Of letters from
their constituents inauiring Why it is
that the American people are called
upon to pay hundreds Of millions Of
dollars in taxes, while there are de-
Anauent annual interest payments
from Europe Of over s5o0,oo00el
The conviction is growing that,
while 1t HAY be the part Of wisdom
to postpone for time the collection
Of the principal OF the foreign debt,
insistence should be made upon the
regular payment Of the interest
thereon.
The sentiment among the Repubu-
can leaders Of Congress is in SYM
pathy with the popular dema nd and
it is quite probable that the pending
tax bill will have a paragraph in
corperated in it which will expedite

ACT AND ACT PROMPTLY

The people Of the United States
mould act and act promptly in the
matter Of the strike announced by the
railroad brotherhoods for October 80
next and which they plan to make
practically nationwide. The men
are not dealing with the roads and
are not refusing a wage rendered by
the railroads but are defying a de-
cision made by part Of the govern
nert itself, representatives Of the
people themselves, who will be the
principal sufferers. Their action is
highhanded and tl-adyised, brought
about largely by their belief in the
weight Of numbers. The strike must
not be permitted to naaterialize. It
would heap inconvenience and hard
ship upon pepole already over
burdened with such things 1t must
be uipped in the bud.
The New York Tribune hits the
nail upon the head when, under the
caption war on the Public" it SAYS:
The officers Of the organiza tons
OF railway employees, BY their strike
order declare war, not on the rail-
roads, but on the public.
Times are hard, many are work.
ing for reduced wages and many fnd
employment difficult to obtain. Dis
regarding these conditions. the or
ga nized railway employees demand
that theft wages shall continue at
the highest wa level. Rather than
consent to lowering them they would
throttle trans portatlon and thus end
all employment. What they. ask is
in fact 40 per cent increase in
wages. for average prices are down
to this degree.
Such a strike will not and can not
succeed. The public will not ard
can not yield to such rank injustice.
