General Hines know that they are
starting the individual veteran on the
the right road. The rest is really up
to the man. There is hardly voca-
ton you can think Of that is not in
cluded in the course offered to the
veterans Of the war by this great
school,"
"Have very many of the soldiers
finished theS studying?" asked Jack
II should say they have, Jack. The
records show that 46,756 men have
taken these courses graduated, and
art now earning their own living.
Besides these there are still 1925
men on the rolls of the school. If all
the Veterans Bureau did was to train
these men properly they would be do
ing a great work, but the work does
not stop. there. The men are not
trained and then just sent out into
the world to struggle for position.
An employment service has been es-
tablished to find places for these
trained men. This is a difficult
thing to accomplish, but have learn
ed that out of % i'll men seeking pos
itions, 1888 had been placed and
were at work up to the first day of
September. That means that out of
the 33,111 up to that date only 1,158
,o+ %k,+
Der is not as large as it may sound
because it includes many men who
cannot be located or who are sick or
who do not want work.
"All of these facts would lead US to
believe that a great deal of money is
being spent in the Veterans Bureau
than has been spent in the past. The
truth is that these improvements
have been made at time when Cen
eral Hines has also succeeded in cut
ting down expenses. The amount of
money saved is already very large
and will probably run into MILLIONS
every year. When you can actually
say that branch of the Government
at Washington is doing real, efficient
work and saving MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS EACH YEAR, it is some
thing worth telling to every taxpayer
Now, its time for you kiddies to
be in bed. First thing in the morn
ing before you start for school, Jack,

row night we can listen to some more

THE ELECTRIC FRANCHISE

The West Penn Power Company is
asking for franchise to distribute
electric power and lights over the
city, and if satisfactory terms can be
reached they will take over the pre-
sent light company's rights and hold
ings. They have presented for con-
sideration a franchise asking for a
80 years right. The council connot
extand a franchise longer than 20
years, and some claim that this has
halted the proposition, and why, it is
not learned. The franchise appears
to be very fair and shows a good
spirit on the part of the West Penn
Company, which will be reciprocaped
by the. citizens Of the city it is quite
certain. If the West Penn Co. intend
to make good on this fairness, they
should have no fears for twenty
year franchise, for the citizens will
be glad to extend the rights from
time to time as necessity requires.
The city council has the rights of the
city to secure and maintain, and
should not loose sight of the fact
that this is their sworn duty. As
much as we need electric power and
an electric system, let us not forget
that even twenty years might be too
long term. There is no one more in
need of dependable power than
The Progressive plant, yet we are
notwilling to surrender everything to
satisfy our immediate desires. Let's
be fair now, SO we can be fair always

so unwisely expended as to produce
a road which wears out long before
the bonds become due. In such cases
and there are many of them!. the
body polite finds itself in the posit-
ion of paying for roads which no
longer exist, and faced with the addi-
tional necessity of rebuilding the road
and maintaining it, as well as paying
the interest and finally the principal,
on the bonds which built roads which
wore out.
There are cases where long term
bonds are justified and necessary.
But there are no cases where the ex-
penditure of such funds is justified
for anything elss than permanent
road, so located, so built, so planned
as to length, gradient, width, and To-
cation as to make it of service to the
people to come as well as those who
now use it.
1t has been said that there is moth
ing permanent about any road except
its location, but this is only true
when maintenance is an afterthought
It is as unsound to build road and
let it ravel to pieces as it is to build
a house and let it go implanted and
uninsured. Paint the house, insure
it, repair it, and it may stand for
hundred years or more. Maintain the
road as it is used, and it should last
indefinitely. Only such roads should
be built with bond issue money, and
only such raods should be built with
money derived from town or county
of state bonds, for will serve town,
county, and state for all time tocome.
To do otherwise is to betray the
trust fthe helpless unborn.
