II will also enable the British,

their Indebtedness 10 the United
States-though it is true they take
pretty liberal discounts for cash.
All this sounds 20 pleasant that
only a very cranky person can ask

There are az state organizations in the United
States having the functions Of bureaus Of labor sta
tistics, in addition to the United States bureau Of labor
statistics and those in the territories.
The original bureau was organized in Massachusetts
BY virtue Of an act approved June %, 1869. The first
commissioner Of the bureau Of statistics of labor If
Massachusetts, was Henry X. Oliver, who served until
June, 1873, when he was succeeded BY Carroll d.
Wright. who held the position until the United States
bureau was organized in 1885. 1t will thus be seen that
bureaus Of this character we're inaugurated early in
the history Of our country.
No functions of the government are more widespread
or are doing more, considering the tremendous finan-
eial odds. than are the various bureaus of labor sta
tistics. The work of no state organizations or func-
lions is less understood or less appreciated than that
Of the bureaus Of labor statistics. This is partly due
to the fact that they have for the most part so little
funds that they have not been able to attract the at
tenton 70 themselves that other organizations more
fortunately equipped have succeed in doing. However,
= you compare the economic literature, both periodical
and university textbooks, prior to 1869 with that Of
today, you will realize that it is from the material
gathered through bureaus Of labor statistics that most
Of the real facts have been secured.
Realizing that their functions were neither knowr
appreciated nor understood, Massachusetts, has for
some time back been introducing lectures on the func-
tohs OF that bureau, now Incorporated into a depart
ment OF labor and industries, into the schools of the
state and even has been able to get SO far as to have
reasonable information in regard to them incorporat-
cd INTO the curricula Of a number Of state institutions.
frior 70 the inauguration Of the Massachusetts bu-
reau OF statistics Of labor there was no such thing Is

world IN fact statistical methods rs now understood
ana rs distinguished from mathematics have been de-
Veioped beginning with the Massachusetts, bureau in
1869 and continued in the United States bureau o.

IN the United States and Europe have in their curricuIa

The Importance OF electricity
has but recently been appreciated
The major place it holds in home

Gas, while sold commercially

America may be called a utility

territory and business has always
been measured by our industrial
development. Our world leader
ship is by reason of our industrial
genius and unprecedented pro-
gressiveness.
The American people have learn
ed to live better than any other in
the world. They have learned the
value of luxury without throwing
over thrift. While this country's
population has increased but 10
per cent in % years, electric rail
way business has increased 40
per cent. Gas usage has increased
900 per cent, telephone 1000 per
cent and electric light and power
1000 per cent. There is nothing re
