PUBLIC DEBT.

Since budgeting has become the
fashion, most people know more
about how much they owe than they
used to. But what citizen thinks to
add his share to the public debt which
is saddled upon him less directly, but
no less surely than any personal or
business debt?
Census Bureau figures show that
the public debt of the American peo-
pie two years ago was about S31, 0O0,-
100000. 1t is probably more than
that now. The total given means
over $3.50 apiece for every man, wo-
man and child in the United States.
Call it an even $500 today.
This may not mean much to the
single man, earning a good income
and having nobody but himself to
take care of. 1t means a great deal
to the average head of family, car
rying public debt burden of about
$1,000 in addition to all his other OBJ
legations. That 81, 800 draws interest,
and he provides the interest money,
whether he realizes it or not. As the
principal is retired, he advances the
money to retire it. He pays in taxes
of many kinds, direct and indirect.
He pays in the price of everything
he buys, whether commodities or hu-
man service; for debt spreads itself
through the whole economic life of a
nation, taking toll in practically ev-
cry payment that one person makes
to another.
If there were a clearer realization
OF this, there would be a stronger de-
mand than there is for public econo-
my and scaling down of public debt
from its present eminence of six
times as much as it was. before the
war.

THE Observation-Disclosures
AMERICAN NEWSPAP

President Coolidge's tribute to the
American newspaper which he deliv-
cred at the dinner of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors, was a
sincere recognition of the services
which the newspapers are giving to
the nation as a whole. American
newspapers, the President said, are
particularly representative of the
practical idealsm of our people. They
are the best newspapers in the world.
They print more real news and more
reliable and characteristic news than
any other newspaper. Then with a
fine appreciation of the struggles for
excellence and fairness which daily
and weekly goes on in the editorial
offices Of all the papers, great and
small, throughout the union, he said
II believe their editorial opinions are
less colored in influence by mere par
tisanship or selfish interest than are
those of any other country. Moreover,
l believe that our American press is
more independent, more reliable and
less partisan today than at any other
time in its history"
"This is tribute so we'll deserved"
says a Washington writer, chat
there is not a newspaper in the coun-
try, no matter how humble its cir
cumstances, but what is justified in
carrying these words of the President
upon their editorial page, not boast
ingly, but as an honest appreciation
from him of the sacrifices that they
are always making for the good of
the community and the nation at
large"

PLEADS GUILTY TO EMBEZ-
ZLING POSTOFFICE FUNDS
Garrett County Woman, Taken
Into Custody at Sines, Con-
fessed Her Guilt.

Mrs. Elsie Anderson, who was ar
rested at Sines, this county, several
weeks ago on a charge Of embezzling
postal funds while employed as a clerk
in the post office at Silica, West Va,
pleaded guilty to the charge when ar
raigned in the United States Dis
trict Court at Parkersburg, West Va,
yesterday. Sentence will be imposed
later, the Court announced.
Mrs. Anderson is specifically
charged with absconding with ST.
1908 before going on a trip to Cal
ifornia. Upon her return home dur
ing the holidays she was arrested by
Deputy U. S. Marshal John W. Doh
erty and taken to Cumberland. At
that place she was given a hearing
before U. S. Commissioner Thomas
J. Anderson, and was held in the AL
legany county Jail in default of bond
in the sum of $4,000.

in taxes alone, have paid substan-
tally one and three-quarter billions
of dollars for the experiment. The
additional cost which the travellers
and shippers of America were obliged
to meet because of Indifferent service
and extraordinarily high rates can
hardly be estimated. 1t can be fairly
said that this additional burden will
come near equalling the actual total
OF American dollars paid out by the
government, which the taxpayers had
to meet.
President Coolidge in announcing
the dissolution of the governmental
wartime operation organization did
not attempt to conceal his satisfac-
ton at being able to relieve the Am
erican people of this extraordinary
burden. Staggering as these totals
are, the one element of satisfaction is

The January attendance in st.

times over the present figure, impress
sive as that is. A study of the costs
of this most unfortunate experiment,
not in money values, but in efficiency,
should serve to check the gentlemen

Operating Buses In
Coordinate Service
Electric Railroads

New York, Jan. 2l-(By A. PO--
Service extensions by both rail and
bus lines totalng more than 5000
miles throughout the United States
were made by electric railways dur
ing 1924, j. n. Sbannahan. president
of the American Electric Rail-
way Association announced to-
day. Most of this extension
was made by the railways supple
menting their service with buses,
but the 3l2 miles OF new rail con-
struction was the most since 1918,
Mr.. Shannahan said. lie added that
the coordination of buses and cars
into single transportation units in
communities was proceeding rapidly
and improving service
Electric railways generally
throughout the United States held
their own during 1924" Mr.. STAMINA
han declared. I'm the face of severe
industrial depression early in the year,
which in some communities decreased
traffic ten percent, and an increase of
2,065,590 in pleasure automobiles, the
record is remarkable. Final figures
for the year indicate total passengers
carried will be within two percent of
the $4,000, 100000 total for 1928, which
set an all time record.
To-day the traffic trend on electric
railways is upward, and indications
for banner year during 1925 are
good. The electric railway curve in
variably follows the general business
trend.
Perhaps the most encouraging
feature of the electric railway BUSH
ness today is the gradual but definite
coordination of electric lines and
buses. Electric railway arrangements
throughout the country are steadily
assuming control of all local trans
portation. including both rail and
motor lines, and coordinating it under
one head. One hundred and seventy
electric railway companies now are
operating a total of $500 buses in the
extension Of passenger service into
suburban territories whose traffic
does not warrant the extension of
rail lines. and in experimenting es-
tablfshed rail service. The bus has
replaced a few car lines, which prob
ably never should have been built.

underground steam sources were
scattered up and down the land as
plentifully as are the Waterpower
sites. But such. unfortunately, is not
the case. Sonoma County presents
one OF the few opportunities so far
known of Harvesting natural steam.
The persistence of energy has re-
suited in the organization of the
Geysers Development Company by
John D. Grant. of Healdsburg, and
the first use of steam from the
Devils Gulch in practical work for

When Mr.. Grant with much APP

wells through the ground to tap the

shaking of heads and downright re-
fusals on the part of well drillerS to
go into the madcap scheme. Mr..

rig, with which he succeeded in sink

But II was something OF a tussle

Rise in Price Of Metal
In this connection, the senator read
a letter from the J. l.. Waddell Com
i pany stating that the unit prices
used in the estimate are in general
all right at the pres mt time. but that
the price of struc' u" al metal is fig
ured about one-half cent a pound
too low. Senator Carlton declared
that the labor prices were probably
figured on New York prices where
Z skilled laborers receive 81 an hour,
but that in Bath men could be Sc
cured to do the work for SO cents an
hour.
Mr.. Carlton said that any contrac-
tor presenting his figure would make
plenty of allowance for such contin-
gencies as the rise in the price of
steel, etc.
He spoke Of the interest of the city
of Bath in the proposition. declar-
ing that no one in locating the bridge
. would want to dodge the city and
place the bridge two or three miles
up the river where 1t would not be
so convenient for the highways and
the railroad.
Il have nothing against the peo-
pie of Richmond for wanting the
bridge" he declared. He added that
If that location was selected there
would still be the expense of main
tanning the ferries at Bath.
At the close of the meeting a ris-
ing vote of thanks was extended to
! Senator Carlton for the able expla-
! nation he had given of the project
for the kennebec bridge at Bath.
