The death rate of business con-
tinues low, although here was just
slight increase in tie number of
commercial failures in November
over a year ago.
On the other hand, failures were
2la per cent less in number in the
first II months of this year than
in the same 1884 months. The con-
tinued low rate of business failures
indicates general financial strength
for those concerns surviving the de-
preston. Many believe such q con-
dition favors the extension of credit.

RAILWAY HEARING SET
Public Service Commission to Hear

Hearing on petition of the

Public Service Commission of In
diana, Jan. %, it was learned today.
The real estate includes right-of-

used since several lines of the COM

to La Porte to Michigan City, from
South Bend north to the Indiana

by inference the plan to pay by
issuing government bonds instead
OF currency was assumed not to
be initiation.
TINE situation as it sands now
l. is about as follows: The bonus
is an outstanding debt of the gov
ernment. 1t is not a question of
whether we will pay the bonus or
not. The government has already
voted to pay it. 1t is a question
whether we will pay it in 1945-1O
years hence-or now. Therefore
we owe the money. We can not
get out of paying it. And the debt
was contracted by a Republican
Congress.
Shall we pay it now or in 1916?
That is but one question. The 9TH
er, and more important, is how will
we pay it? Apparently the plan
which will be put through will be
to issue bonds. This may be done
either by giving bonds to the vet
erans or by selling the bonds and
paying them in cash.
IT is important to remember that
L If We adopt either of these plans
we Will not be paying the bonus.
You do not pay debt when you
borrow money from Peter to pay it
to Paul. You merely owe the
money to Peter instead of Paul.
If, therefore, we isue bonds -
borrow $2,300,0O0,000 on govern
ment bonds-and pay the veterans,
we will still owe the bonds. The
bonus debt will not be paid. 1t will
still hang over us.
Furthermore, we will produce in
f1ation just as surely as if we had
printed the money under the Pat
man bill. The great battle against
imitation waged with such ve-
hemence last year will have to be
fought all over again.
y y
MYTH this difference, that the
w ill-advised focusing of fire. on
the Patman bill, has given the
Vinson bill a kind of respectability.
The President may be able to yield
now on the Vinson bill and boast
that he saved the country from
the Patman bill. In reality he will
have saved the country from moth
ing. Both bills involved imitation.
There is only one way to pay a
bill and that is to pay it. In the
case of a government that means
paying 1t with cash. And there
is only one way for a government
to get cash and that is through
taxes.
The issue then before every
sound statesman is: Are we will
ing to impose So 300 100000 of taxes
on the nation to pay the bonus?
And if we are, whom shall We
tax? If we don't tax, we will. not
be paying the bonus, merely shift
ing the debt to some other bunch
of creditors.

THE GIANT TELESCOPE

After cooling under the watchful care
of scientists since December 2, 1884, the
glass disc of what will be the world s
largest telescope is about ready to be
transported from Corning, N. Y, where it
was poured, to Pasadena, CAL, where it
will be further prepared for its intended
use. a s<@sJ si":h 1874 sal
This monster lens which is 200 inches
ir diameter and weighs 20 tons, is twice
the diameter of the largest now in use, and
will be installed in an observatory on Mt.
Palomar, in California. 1t will probably
take about four years more to complete the
giant instrument.
The idea of building a telescope of
such unprecedented size originated with
DR.. George Ellery Hale, one of the world s
most famous astronomers, who persuaded
the International Education Board, sup
ported principally by John D. Rockefeller,
Sr., to give six million dollars to finance
TIE PROJECT.
1t was DR.. Hale who induced Charles
L. Yerkes, Chicago street car rnagnate,
to build the Yerkes Observatory, with the
largest refracting telescope in the world,
at Williams Bay, Wis. He later obtained
a contribution of $65O,OO from John D..
Hooker, a Los Angeles business man, for
the 10O-inch telescope at Mt. Wilson OBJ
servatory in California. Both of these OBJ
servatories were organized and directed by
DR.. Hale, who is now 81 years DID,
What new wonders of the universe
the 200-inch telescope may disclose can not
be foretold, but as it will have about four
times the magnifying power of the largest
now in existence, the scientific world looks
to its completion with the keenest in
terest.
