TEN PER CENT IN BRITISH BOATS

The greatest line of freight-carrying
steamers in the world is the Furness,
Witty Co., of England, with 167 vessels.
In the annual report of that company re-
Gently submitted, Sir Frederick Lewis, who
is its president, and also president of
Great Britain's Chamber of Shipping,
after lamenting the fact that the business
last year was as bad as it possibly could
be, was able to announce that despite the
carrying of three-quarter of a million
pounds to surplus, making all necessary al
lowances for depreciation, etc., and paying
for all government taxes, there remained
for the stockholders, free of income taxes,
ten per cent dividend. If you are a
stakeholder in any American company
was that company able to pay you ten
per cent dividend last year, to say nothing
of increasing its surplus? Do you wonder
that the British shipping interests and the
stakeholder in British shipping, are knock
ed silly at the thought of competing
American merchant marine? Do you now
understand why the British propagandists
in this country allied with the Democrats,
have such large purse with which to
fight our ship subsidy bill? In Great
Britain even the charwomen own shipping
stock. If our own people would get back
of our merchant marine as those in Great
Britain back theirs, there would be no OPP
position worth considering to the ship SUBJ
sidy bill. AS it is the bill will go through
with votes to spare.

LOWERED TRUCK DOWN SHAFT
What at First Looked Like Hard Prob
lem Easily Solved by New
York Engineers.

A novel feat has just been accom-
plished by the engineers of the New
York Telephone company.
1t was necessary to lay cables at
once through a new tunnel under the
East river or compel large suburban
district to wait II months for tele
phone service. But the approaches to
the tunnel had not been excavated and
no rails had been laid in 1t. Motive
power was necessary In the tunnel In
order to handle the heavy cables.
So 1t was decided TO lower one of
the company's cable-iaying trucks
down to the tunnel, through a work
ing shaft 100 feet deep. The truck
was a five-ton machine and the shaft
was impeded by pipes, stalrways and
timber trusses. The Job was accom-
plished, however, two hours after 1t
was begun the truck being lowered
while suspended by its front axle from
the end of derrick boom.

THE LAW OF FRIENDSHIP

Emerson defined friendship by attribut-
ing it to the characteristics of Truth and
Tenderness. Between friends, each may
be sincerely himself, without the protec-
ton of sham or affection often assumed in
ordinary intercourse. "My friend" said
Emerson, gives me entertainment with
out requiring me to stoop, or lisp, or to
mask myself" Further friendship needs
tenderness to tide it over rough roads and
hard fare, which are bound to come The
end of friendship is for aid and comfort
through all the relations and passages of
life and death. Without Truth and Ten
derness, a friendship cannot survive such
experience.
This kind of friendship seems of neces-
sity to be limited to two persons. With
the presence of third, self-consciousness
enters in and the fine sincerity of the form
er relation is lost It is difficult enough to
find two persons whose interests and per-
sonalities so complement each other as to
make real friendship possible. A third
would complicate the situation hopelessly.
Someone will say: What of the clubs
and lodges where men grow intimate with
each other? Such exist in numbers, it is
true; but real friendship as defined by
Emerson cannot develop in the midst of a
group. The whole of each members per-
sonality could never be grasped by the
others. The law of one to one, as Emerson
sums it up, is the practice and consumma-
ton Of friendship.

A WORD TO KNOCKERS

Are you one of those persons who are
always passing judgment on those around
you? You do not let it be mental judy
ment, either, for too often you express in
no uncertain terms just what you think.
Of course, after you've been heard in a
like manner and the average citizen of
Winnemucca has learned that your opin-
ions are of no value, you have to stand a
lot of odium. But people who knock
others must expect to hear some harsh
things about themselves. So with you it
goes rather in one ear and out of the other
But why are you so positive for or
against certain thing before you have
all the facts? It is so much easier to sus-
pend judgment and line up in the right
way in matters concerning the public good
rather than to fly off on tangent and have
to be put in your place by those who really
have the facts and can show you up in
your true light. ora ir
Don't be a pest about anything, unless
you are sure of your ground. And even
then it doesn't pay to be pest. Work in
an honest, legitimate way and try not to
air your opinions when they are objec-
tionable to others if you want to be rated
as good citizen, the kind who leave real
sorrow in the community when they have
passed on to another world. It's easier to
cultivate the debating spirit rather than
get down to work and attend to your own
business, but it is harder on you. Just
remember that the town is going right
ahead when you're gone, and that the
world isn't going to become over-balanced
and turn upside down when you step off of
it. Remember that, Mr.. Knocker. It may
help you to stop short where you are some
time, and line up with the better class of
the communicable class that hasn't any
regard for a knocker.

FUTURE TRADE

Captain Robert Dollar, long experienced
in ocean transportation, is undoubtedly
correct in the judgment recently expressed
that within the lifetime of shippers now
living the center of world commerce will
shift from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Europe has nearly reached, if it has not
already passed its summit, in production
and trade. The Americans and most of
the countries bordering the Pacific in Asia
are undeveloped and have resources thus
far hardly touched. Siberia is vast ex-
panse of latent wealth, China holds min
eral deposits awaiting use, the east coast
of Africa offers the best gateways for COM
mercial development in the interior of that
continent, and Australia is young in in
dustry. South America and trans-Pacifc
markets offer the best opportunities for the
future of American trade. In those re-
gions there will be the greatest develop
ment in the next hundred years and be-
cause of its own resources, experience, en-
terprise and wealth, the United States
should be the strongest factor in aiding the
transformation of a comparative wilder
ness into a homeland for vast civilized
population. Our commercial relations
with Europe are by no means thing of
the past, but the door of greatest oppor-
tunity opens toward the west

w. S. CERTIFICATES DUE JAN. /

On January / next there will fall due
$625, 100000 of war saving certificates of
the series of 1913 popularity known as
war saving stamps. About a year and a
half ago the issues of war savings stamps
were discontinued and Treasury Savings
Certificates, in denominations of $25, $1OO,
and $1,000, were substituted. They run
for similar length of time, five years, and
have similar rate of interest as the war
savings stamps. 1t is the earnest desire
of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon that
owners of the stamps falling due next
January shall convert them into the new
treasury certificates rather than demand
cash for them. In that way the refunding
operations of the treasury will be greatly
facilitates. The treasury will soon an
nounce special arrangements by which the
exchange of war savings stamps for the
treasury savings certificates may be made
with the least possible inconvenience.

TAX FREE EVIL GROWING

The farm mortgage bankers of Ameri-
ca did and said many important things at
their convention in Chicago recently But
the most interesting part of their meeting
concerned the rising tide of tax-free Sc
curities.
The biggest drone in the American hive !!
That is what these bankers call the vast
mass of untaxable investments that is be-
ing set aside daily, separated and isolated
from the active enterprise of this nations
business
How large is this mass of capital?
How fast is it growing? Over $20,000,-
100000 of the United States securities and
$8,000,000, 900 of state and municipal Sc
curities will make up the total at the end Of
this year. That is, nearly $4,000, 100000
OF American wealth soon will be so seq
regated from the industrial and CONNER
cial life of the United States that it cannot
be used to build up the country or to carry
the cost OF the country's government by
taxation from year to year.
Geo. w. Human in the Chicago Herald
and Examiner says: "This condition is an
evil in itself, but that is not the worst.
The evil is growing. In 1912 the state and
municipal issues of tax-free securities
amounted to about $4OO,OOO,OO0; in 1918
to about $5OO,OOO,OOO; in 1920 to $773,-
100000. Last years issues rose to ST.
30O,O0O,0OO, and this years will be little
short of $4,000, 100000"
In the meantime as taxes increase, pri-
vate enterprise finds it constantly more diff
ficult to finance development undertaking
as the investors become familiar with the
fact that they can dodge taxes.
