A LITTLE TALK On THRIFT
,By \. w. Straus, President American
Society for Thrift

The economic situation in England
at the present time is one which, when
viewed at first hand by the American
travellers there presents some inter
estng aspects of the problems OF re-
habilita ton
The unemployment situation in Eng
land is serious, and the Government
has been compelled TO resort To num-
erous eXpedients for alleviating dis
tress. 1t has built thousands of houses
for working people in order to re-
lieve the acute housing shortage. and
one sees little stucco-covered edifices
in the factory sections of all the prin.
cipal English industrial centers. The
doal system is another relief measure.
Persons who are out of employment
are at regular intervals given suf-
ficient amount Of money to enable
them to exc out livelihood.
AT the present time the British Gov.
ernment is also considering the ques-
ton OF engaging in an extended pro-
gram Of public works In order to
provide employment. Governmental
support Of the banks in a more liberal

the great lesson that one learns in
England today is that there can be
no permanent progress which ia not
founded on private initiative. Many of
the remedial agencies that have been
introduced can have only TEMPORARY
effect. The foundation of national
progress and prosperity is a cofnbiha-

MAY GET j. S. MONEY
FOR ROAD WORK IN
UMATILLA COUNTY
$75,000,000 Measure Now
Awaits Final Passage in
Congress; Bill is Broad.

Prospects are bright for Oregon to
receive about 100000 in federal
money for road purposes during 1871
and it is within the realm of proba-
bility that Umatilla county will share
substantially in the use of this fund.
Senate bill 1912 which has passed
both house and senate with the sem
ate agreeing to the house changes,
seemingly awaits only the formality
of final passage and approval by the
president. This bill provides $7b,-
600, 600 of federal money for cooper
ative work with the states and coun-
ties of the United States, the dealings
of the government being with the
state highway commissions.
Under the terms of the bill a forest
road is defined as any road wholly or
partly within or adjacent to and serv-
ing the national forests" The bill is
therefore very broad in its provisions
and seemingly will make federal
this county. The county court as
sumes that the Grant county road
would be subject to federal aid and
likewise the uncompleted section of
the Oregon trail between Cabbage
Hill and Kamela. Accordingly Judge
Schannep has been in consultation
with Mr.. Cecil, chief of the northwest
forestry service to lay Umatilla coun-
tvs claims before the proper antl1ori-
ty at an early date Mr. Cecil has es-
timated that $S,OOO,OOO will be Ore
gon's quota out of the S75,oeooO0 to
lbe made available if the bill is en-
acted into law.
1t is not fully known vet b'st what
procedure will be necessary to secure
this federal money but the opinion is
held that the bill will be approved by
congress during the coming session.
Under the bill in question the gov
Iernment does not finance any roat
work alone but only in cooperation
with states or subdivisions of states
such as counties,
