PAVING PRO
GRAM REACHES
OVER S500,0OO

The building program for Cham
paign in 1924 outlines more than
$500,000 worth of street paving, ac-
cording to figures given out by city
engineer Fred Lohmann.
Work of completing the west
Church street paving is well under
way and will be completed early III
the summer A few other jobs are
left over from last year amounting
to approximately $4,000. Or this
work the subway at University ave
nue. is yet to be completed, and the
work on Chestnut street IN close
proximity to the new |. {. station Is
being hurried in order 10 be IN readl-
ness for the dedication.
Other new payements that have al
ready been passed by the board OF
local improvements are Second street,
s26 900; Lynn street, S23,0OOi Uni-
versity avenue, $50, 900; Third street,
S5l 900; Washington street, S7b,OOOi
East Washington street, $4,000, and
Charles street, 1900. Bradley ave
nue. will cost $4,000 and one-fourth
mile on Fourth street will cost ap-
proximately $4,000. The last two
are still in court. The figures are IN
round numbers.
Added to this program there Il
fully a mile Of paving for which petl-
tions are being circulated. but II Is
not probable that the work can be
completed this year. According tC
Mr.. Lohmann all work that is passed
by the board Of local improvement
after May l will in all probability
hold over until 1928.
In addition to street paving there
are several sidewalks and alleys 4
be constructed. The actual figure
will run nearer 100000 for pave
ments that are to be completed with
in the city limits during the season.

Governor Smalps official majority
in Cook county is placed at 2,97l.
Former Governor Denen carried the
county by 9,333 over Senator Medlll
Mccormick. Oscar Carlstrom car
ried the county by 1871 votes over
Attorney General Brundage. Presi-
dent Coolidge carried the county
against Hiram Johnson by 26,6b7.
With the exception of the eandi-
date for President the Chicago papers
who conducted bitter partisan cam
paign against Governor Small lost
practically the entire field supported
by them.
According TO press reports Michael
Cuisto, OF Kankakee. pleaded guilty
in the Danville Federal court to "a
charge of possessing gallon Of
white mule" He was fined, accord
ing to the report, the sum Of 5000.
He had been previously fined In the
Kankakee city court the sum OF $500
on the same charge.
Thus the law, as well as mule. has
double kick. The law really has
three kicks. 1t can convict man for
bootlegging or for any other liquor
violation, in city, county and federal
courts on one and the same charge.
No doubt Guisto deserved all he got,
morally speaking. But does the law
have moral right TO fine any man
for any offense more than once Is
double jeopardy a dangerous pro
cedure for the state TO adopt? What
would be the result II double ieop-
ardy were applied to civil suits? A
man would have to pay a debt three
times if a case were decided against
him. 1t is a bad procedure dan
gerous procedure, and officers who ap-
ply this law are not helping law en-

"Fliers'' Different

The person or the family which has
started on the habit of regular say

There comes a time In the life oi
every one who possesses a savings ec

become much richer In very short
time. But against this opportunity
some people fail to recognize tho fact
that in every flyer" there Is the
chance of failure, losing every cent
and having to start again to build VI

lost.

of a savings account at no cost
The men who stand ready to advise
you are men whose life work has
been the scrutinizing and testing oi
the value of investments. They are
competent to tell you of the financia
worth of the properties on which the
stocks or bonds are valued or guaran
teed. Generally they know something
of the reputation and ability of the
men behind firms who have invest
ments to offer.
The thing which has made the saw
ings account so popular with millions
of savers in the United States is the
security one feels that the funds are
safe. A savings account causes nc
one sleepless nights-it's earnings are
never a passed dividend, and the
rate of interest compares very favor

Government Has
Own Yard Stick
Tightwad, Spendthrift and
Thrifty Person Defined by
What They Save.

The government In a recent pub
lication, has attempted to define a
"tightwad." spendthrift and a
thrifty person. The tightwad, 1t says,
saves so cents of every dollar he
earns, the sensibly thrifty person 20
cents and the spendthrlft nothing.
We think that none Of the defini'
tions are correct or even approx
mateIy. so-with all due respect to
our government. The tightwad may
save more or less than so cents Of
his dollar. the sensibly thrifty person
more or less than 20 cents. and a
person may save something and still
be a spendthrift.
1t all depends upon how much a
person earns and what are the calls
upon his purse and what are his
probable necessities for the future. A
"tightwad" is person who lives
stingily for the sake of saving

some people discover early in life that

make more time, can conserve and
make each moment work.
Interest is merely the application OF
time to the earning power of dollars.
One dollar for a. year will earn as
much as two dollars in six months.

only safe definition Of living wage
that we can figure out is wage
that a family can live on.
But a living wage is not cough for

allow for progress, preparation Tor

Which brings us again 10 the fact
that savings script is the cheapest
