so they must have either charged
higher rates or failed to make the
Improvements. The bill puts the
companies in the condition in which
they would have been had they been
under private control.
The fact is that the railroads can
not carry on without marketing
large amount of securities, and all
that the bill does is to enable the
agencies, and the companies to get
the cash. The war finance corpora
ton has been so successful in the
past, having neither lost a dollar for
itself nor for any of its customers,
that it is confident of finding a mar
ket for any security which it takes.
The nature OF the situation and
the reason why it is necessary to
fund part of the railroad debt may be
better understood from an illustra-
ton. Suppose that Farmer Smith
wishes to move into town and rent
his farm, with all machinery to carry
it on, to Farmer Jones, and he is to
be given credit for permanent i'm
provements. AT the end of the year
Smith calls for his rent. Jones says

is the same way with the railroads
If two-thirds of their rent must be
applied on permanent improvements
how are they going to pay ordinary

Meanwhile there is a strong de-
mand on the railroads for a reduction
of rates, especially on agricultural
products. This demand is justified
and while the railroads have made
some reductions they have not gone

Old Shakespeare said he knew a
bank whereon the wild thyme grew;
wonder if a savings bank was what
he had in view? The poet knew a
lot Of things peculiar to his tribe,
but he never dreamed of pleasantries
that hit the modern scribe. He never
knew the land lord that held him up
for rents, nor saw common nickel
show that charged him twenty cents; !;
he never paid dollar for fve-cent
jitney ride, nor lived beneath a fran
chise that touched" him till he died.

In a certain parish the church col

placed in a box which was consigned
to the care of the minister, who hid
it, with the key, in a place known
only to himself and the sexton.
Despite this, small sums were reg

The Washington camps Of the various organizations Of veterans

what happens in both houses Of congress. This new set Of rsoln-
fions merely confirms the fact now accepted by everyone except
the fianna-Seigman campaign bureau, that Senator Bursum has
made an especially active and clear record Of personal effort. in be-
half Of the veterans Of the foreign wars His position at all times has

In this matter as in every other phase Of his work, efforts to

much. He has produced results that can he checked and tabulated
