 These subsidies achieve the pur- pose of helping to get. ships flying American flags into foreign ports. A straightaway monetary grant for that purpose would entail public criticism. perhaps: but fat subsidy for carrying the mails-that is an- other matter entirely, as everyone knows the mails must be expedited.

LAST OF A BIG LOAN

The New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad is sitting pretty nowadays. It's 391,00o,0o0 loan from the government has been entirely paid off; the other day the last $22.- 3sO.0O0 was paid. The premier New England carrier now owes the gov ernment not cent.
 It was a difficult financial problem which confronted the New Haven since 1920. The millstone hung about its corporate neck for years and seemed to tighten until the refund- ing operations were started. The New Haven still owes money, but to private investors instead of the gov- ernment: and it paid the govern- ment per cent interest, while the refunding operations brought a re- duction to private interests of 1-o peI CtIll'
 The financial layout of the road now is 43 per cent stock and 67 per cent bonds, whereas formerly it was one-third stock and two-third bonds. Interest must be paid on the bonds, while stock must wait. New Haven stockholders have learned to be pa- tient. The time Is said to be soon near at hand when dividends on the common will be paid at which time numerous New England stockhold- CTS will breathe with greater free- dom. As the road is earning money it is high time that dividends were resumed.

%D TERM IDEA IS KILLED BY SENATE
Adopt Resolution Aslint It &@ lntroducsd by h FAIstts

Washington. Feb. II M-In the opinion of the senate, American presidents should retire from ofIice "after their second term"
 Fifty-six members of the senate 70 believe and, over the opposing votes of 2s others, they have put the ssp. ate on record to that effect by adopt ing the resolution of senator LA- Toilette. republican, Wisconsin. ds- claring 1t would be unwise and un- patriotic for executives to depart from ''the precedent established by Washington and other presidents"
 Adopted after four days of debate that centered largely on its bearing upon President Coolidge. the resolu- ton was trimmed of it's paragraph commenting 'the observance of this precedent by the president" It was eliminated by Senator LeFollstte when Senator Fess. republican, Ohio, had moved to have it stricken out. LaFollette said he had added the paragraph 'in all sincerity because I thought President Coolidge by his statements had definitely eliminated himself from the race and was ob- serving this tradition"
 !, He said 1t was apparent, however. that friends of MT. Coolidge wsre preparing to draft him. and that "the president has not foreclosed his renomination."
 Senator Fess was not so successful in another attempt to reward tho resolution 50 that it definitely ex- cluded President Coolidge from its meaning. His proposal to have it apply to second "elective" terms was defeated 7S to 5, drawing support only from Fess and Willis of Ohio, Bingham and Mclean of Connecti- cut, and Waterman of Colorado, re- publicans.
 The Fess paragraph was opposed by administration senators who said it would reflect upon MT. Coolidge wbo, they argued. might still accept the nomination in good faith. while democrats said the paragraph did not accept in good faith the presi- dents statement that he did not choose to run.
 The final vote found lS repubIi- cans, mostly westerners, and includ- ing Senator Curtis of Kansas, g. presidential candidate, joining 37 democrats and the one farmer-labor senator in support of the resolution. Senator Gillette. republican. Massa- chusetts, also voted for 1t, while Senator Walsh. democrat, of that state. opposed it, with three others of the minority party-Blease of South Carolina. Ferris of Michigan. and RAnsdeil of Louisiana.
 Two announced candidates for the republican nomination, Senators Watson of Indiana, and Willis of Ohio, voted against the resolution.

MAIL SUBSIDIES

The American public dislikes the sound of the word subsidy" No- body is entitled to a special mone- tary favor from the government, not even corporations. Once there was quite an agitation for an American ship subsidy, but indignation con- vulsed the population in the hinter- land, and the idea died aborning. For some years the yeomanry in the hinterland have wanted government assistance. monetary and otherwise, which masqueraded in the name of farm relief" and the east. also against subsidization Of industry, especially in the west, was as con- vulsed against if as the west previously felt about a ship subsidy
 But the ship subsidy business works nevertheless; perhaps on q smaller scale than desired, but it is there. Ii was W. Irving Glover, sec ond assistant postmaster general. for instance. who testified recently that six ship lines get d subsidy of s1 = 131,o36 for carrying the mails. The ship lines expend service for the money. of course: but they get the million plus all the same. Mir Glover vas very frank, too; he blandly call ed it . subsidy. Some people simply cannot get themselves to call a spade an agricultural implement.
 Here is the explanation given by Mr. Glover:
 Tn furtherance of the policy
 of the government to aid in the
 development of an adequate
 merchant marine. certain
 special contracts were continued
 during the present fiscal year
 under the authority conferred
 by Section e4 of the Merchant
 Marine act"
 The subsidy money is in addition to the regular cost of carrying the mails. For instance. the contract

 There was no referee present. Finally a tall, ianky man volunteer ed to act. The team practiced a few minutes when the self-appointed referee ruled off two hockey players for intensive body-checking.
 Let me show you" said the ref cree. Then gathering up stick he ran the entire length of the Czecho- slovakian defense and scored six goals in rapid succession as the be- wildered team gasped.
 Who's that man?" asked Jaro- slaw Popistil the Czechoslovakian goal keeper. just as another speedy shot found the net.

WOMEN AND THE BALLOT

That women do not take ad- vantage of the privilege of voting as extensively as was forecast before they got the ballot is being taken for granted; it is not supposition, either, as the statistics of citizens who actually vote took sharp drop in percentage since the voting power was doubled.
 Leaders in womens ranks are blaming it on the men. There is Lucia Ames Mead, for instance. Mrs. Mead, lecturer and writer-especial- ly in the realm of writing letters to the papers-is far-seeing and liber- al-minded. But she has convictions about women and why they do not crowd the voting booths.
 Under our present machin-
 cry" she writes. ''multitudes of
 men feel aS if their votes were
 almost thrown away"
 She includes women by inference; for if men think that way. 1t is quite consistent to believe that women feel the same way about it.
 President Butler" she adds,
 spoke tart and timely true in
 his speech in New York when
 he said that the names Of the
 two major political parties have
 today become mere trademarks,
 which means that neither is
 animated by any great distinct
 i've, vital or urgent purpose. If :.
 the men either at Kansas City
 or Houston will show some
 faint desire to change this, the
 women will be ready enough to
 help them shout"
 The New England woman leader then puts a few questions of policy before the political parties, saying D definite stand one way or the other would interest men and women. Needless to add, the questions are such as no self-respecting politician of the modern school will consider as being the business of anybody but the super-minds in Washington. This is the kernel of the voting situation as 1t affects both men and women. They are left to vote the political trademarks and are expected to swallow the contents of the politi- cal bottle without looking further than the label.
 Dodging issues is one way of dis couraging voters, both men and women.
