COLOR OF AUTO IMPORTANT
TO FEMININE PURCHASER
And Then She Is Fncy DUer and Fogets What to DO at
Times, Says Car Salesman

'And can you believe II: woman

The salesman had been asked how
women figured in the purchase OF a
car. He looked disgusted.
The business man will enter a show
room: he Immediately is taken under
the wing Of salesman. The prospec-
tive buyer will walk six feet forward,
two feet to the left. turn his head a
bit and reluctantly admit that ITS a
fair lookin' bus" Which admission
causes the salesman's heart to glow.
Then the man continues his tour of
inspection. He stands on the running
board, peers into the tiny mirror fas-
tened to the side, slides into the drivers
sent, tips his hat at an angle and makes
the salesman sure that the prospective
buyer is q man Of affluenCe and import.
Then. after having sufficiently i'm
pressed the salesman with the fact that
he has a mind Of his own, he carelessly
remarks that he'd better bring the
wife" down, and strolls out.
Enter the wife. ooh, what a pretty

"And it's such pretty shade, too. ="
And so. IL "the wife" finds the color

salesman observed. is usually more diff

RAILROAD FINANCE.

The government owes large sums of money to
the railroads. On accounts of another class the rail
roads owe. large sums to the government. It is pro.
posed that the government shall pay what it owes
in cash and shall arrange for the funding Of the rail.
road debt so that payment may be deferred. Why
not balance accounts and lft the difference be paid
Iby the final debtor?
The answer is that the two classes of accounts
are quite different, and that the proposed DISPOSE.
Ition of them is in substance lust what would have
been done had the railroads remained always in con.
troll of their owners, or what would have been done
under normal conditions by the government itself
had it remained in the railroad business and con-
Quoted that business in a rational way.
Aside from its period of railroad operation the
government has assumed a certain responsibility
with reference to the railroads.. 1t has exercised au-
thority over the service which they shall render and
the charges which they may make. This entails the
obligation to provide or permit Gates which will meet
operating expenses and yield a reasonable return on
the invested capital.
During the war period service has deteriorated,
and the roads were returned in such condition that
some time must elapse before the revenues would
be sufficient to yield any returns whatever. The gov
ernmeht therefore pledged itself to make up such
shortages as should exist on account of the first six
months of operation under the restored private con-
troll. That is a current liability, equivalent to a farm
er's threshing bill or a carpenters grocery bill, to be
met promptly and not to become part of a permanent
liability.
The money which the railroads owe to the gov
eminent is chiefly on account Of extensions and per-
manent improvements which were made by the
government, and which now become the property
of the railroads. These charges are never met out
of current receipts. The usual practice, when large
expenditures. of a permanent character are contem-
plated, is to issue bonds and out Of the proceeds of
these to payfor the Improvements. The bonds, run
ming for a term Of years, can be retired with funds
set aside for that purpose from year to year.
To offset the two accounts would be equiva-
lent to recurring the roads to nav for neruanenf I'm.
something. which CANNOT be done unless the roads
are permitted profits which everyone would con-
denim as improper and impossible. The plan decid-
ed on, therefore, is for the government to keep, its
contract with the roads and make the. contractual
contribution to current expenses in cash, and to
postpone its demand for settlement of the other OBJ
litigation until the conditions are such that the pub
lie will absorb the securities which will be issued to
represent the desired sum.
