CITY DEBTS.

Bonds issued by cities and states between January
ond September CT this year reach the somewhat
amazing total OF 800. os5.1Is
= This money was borrowed by municipalities for
the part although a few have found It
convenient to raise funds for immediate purposes
by loans.
The fact again gives rise to the cry that these
loans are exempt from taxation and that the
eminent should take steps to amend the income
laws to make these loans less attractive to
those of large incomes
Another warning is issued that the borrowing
habit of cities IS bringing the total of loans to the
point and that the interest charges
such loans will make living cities costly as
be the cause OF great unrest.
These loans may be a sign of unusual wisdom and
then again they may indicate extravaganza and
lav!shness OF public funds that bring the usual
penalties Of such lack OF thrift.
It all depends upon what these hundreds OF mil
lions of dollars used for and what the citizens
OF the communities obtaining the loans are getting
for their dollars.
II the money went for schools. for public enter
crises that add to the wealth OF the cities will
produce more OF happiness and comfort. better
health and a higher standard of living. there need
be alarm
There are purposes for which any city might well
borrow on most lavish SCALE purposes for which
each dollar spent would ba returned a hundred
fold in added wealth.
1t not tho borrowing habit which bad for
cities It's evil generally in the fact that the money
is spent without proper return and for purposes
which have lasting benefit
Money for schools, for hospitals for Fairgrounds,
:or community centers is always we'll spent. Handed

such loans will OF course soon bring the borrowing
cities to bankruptcy

To those who knew him and who know Of his

Mills lived with the animals. birds. the
wild creatures in the Rockies and by his efforts had

Some who go to that park called him eccentric
and queer. That was because he could not think
Of any OF his wild playmates being killed saught-

others who found knshp in his zeal and his
interest knew him as a really great man. who had
faith and vision and purpose and aan overpowerng

A hundred years from now, when the names Of
those who have taken their millions of gold and
silver from the mountain mines Of Colorado are
buried in oblivion. men and women will repeat the
name of Enos Mills and remember it because of his
vision and his love Of the beauties of nature.

smile at the thought that a mother has any right

Along the path we tread
I wonder Il we'll ever greet
The joy and cheer we long 10 meet
II We plod on with gloomy feet
To win the path ahead?
It seems 10 me II e'er we hope
For Joy we cannot blindly grope
Along and fret and pine and mop,

THE soUANDERER-

"a Boston economist has figured
out that a working girl getting nine
dollars a week ought 70 save at least
fifty cents of it,
The working girl can well afford
Three dollars for her room;
Four dollars ought to pay her board.
Economists assume.
So she has wealth to put away
These learned folk contend.
Nine dollars is her weekly pay
Which leaves he's two TO spend.
OF course she has 70 dress herself.
The theorists admit,
But. II she's careful with her pelf,
She ought 70 save a bit
One-ffty buys a lot Of clothes
4 very small expense
What does she do, do you suppose
With that odd fifty cents?
Perhaps Il goes for chewing gum.
II may be that she pays
A portion of this goodly sum
To go 10 movie plays.
Perhaps she gives too many tips.
or spends her hard earned hoard
on powder puffs. or trolley trips
Which she can ill-afford.
At all events her pay Is spent
Before the week is out
She never saves a single cent.
OF that there is no doubt.
She goes ahead and has her fling
Like one with cash 10 burn,
And il would seem. poor silly thing,
That she will never learn!

HIGH RENTS.

Rapidly mounting rents are driving writer's and
artists out of their colony Greenwich Village in
New York.
A small room. formerly horse stable. is turned
into studio at 5000 a month rent. This Is said TO
be a typical case. Such a sum- obviously. is beyond
the means Of the artist or writer struggling for
recognition.
Why don't the artists and writer's move to the
country? you ask. They say they have 20 be near
their market 10 get orders for their work.
A great fuss is being made the situation BY
the Authors League OF America The fuss will
help advertise Greenwich Village and attract more
tourists 10 its carefully tea rooms cabarets
and other points OF commercalized Bohemianism.
This will bring more money TO the village. Then
rents will go up again
Too bad Of course. that rents are high for the
tenperamentaI residents Of Greenwich village They
will not attract much sympathy however. because
nearly every one in New York and other bis cities
is also in the clutches OF high rents.
The bigger and more congested our cities grow.
the more it becomes obvious that the real Problem
of city life IS rent.
II Is rent that has compelled the use OF elevators.
tell buildings. small rooms and the vanishing Of the
big ward that should be around every home.
Each year the rent problem IN cities grows worse.
Many theories and suggestions have been ad-
vanced TO reduce rents generally When all IS said
and done high rent penalty OF living in cities
II follows. logically that the way to escape from
high rent is 20 get city. Rapid transit
is the route Of escape And the ideal form OF rapid
transit the airplsne.
When airpIanes become fool-prOof. safe speedy,
compact and cheap cities will become collections OF
factories theaters and shops PEOPLE Will live far
