TO EXTEND
WATER SERVICE

A plan to use works progress adj
funds saved on county
road projects in the proposed exten-
sion of water service to rural districts
will be suggested to federal authori-
ties according to a statement today by
Walter Ralston, county commissioner
It is estimated that while the gov
ernment allocated 1856 for salary and
for each works progress ad-
worker over a period of
one year, there are several county road
projects on which no materials are
and the expenditure will be
1886.
By using the difference, Ralston
suggests, federal funds in the amount
of $4,000 mile could be provided for
water service extension. The addition
al money would be used only for mat
terials needed in the extension of
water service requested by more than
300 rural residents.

Records or Promises
WHICH?

Penitentiary, bill providing for the
full cooperation of the state of Ohio
with the federal government in effec-
tuating policies of the national recov-
cry act, extending the emergency
regulations Of wage assignments,
providing that the rate of pay on all
public Improvements shall conform to
the prevailing rate Of pay on private
jobs in any given area, providing free
text books for elementary and Junior
high school students, reducing the an
nual license and personal property
taxes on automobiles, reserving the
name union for the exclusive use Of
labor union organizations in the state
of Ohio, providing a workmen's com
pensation for relief workers injured
on jobs and appropriating money to
cover claims, prohibiting the sale of
prison-made goods in the open markets
of Ohio, has passed on old age pension
bills, including that which brought the
state pension law into conformity with
the federal law and thus obtained for
Ohio's $4,000 pensioners, an increase
Of $1,000 month. Ohio now leads the
nation in pension scales, appropriating
S250,0O0.00 to bring delinquent cases
IN the industrial commission up to
date. Bills to bring Ohio conformity
and participation in the federal secur-
ity program, blind relief, mothers
pensions, old age, crippled children.
Davey urged the passage of unemploy
ment insurance in a special message to
the legislature and backed up his plea
with his numerous utterances. The
house of representatives passed the
bill and it died in the senate. Governor
Davey is for removal of sales tax from
food, and when the legislature did
not heed his special message urging
removal of this tax, Governor Davey
personally lead a successful campaign
to put the issue up to the people this
fall. The tax will be removed and
Governor Davey is responsible for it
being on the ballot. Ohio had % major
strikes during the Davey administra-
ton. Davey's cool-headed refusal to
send troops has prevented bloodshed
and has resulted in peaceful negotia-
tions with increased pay in a number
of these disputes.

But it all comes to the same thing.
The great American vote is about to
be cast. After long weeks of politi-
cal campaigning.
Editors can set their headlines now.
They can have them ready. They can
write on a piece of paper, Roosevelt
elected and they can scrawl on it the
size Of type they want-120-point, or
bigger and let it go to the compos-
ing room. They can write the decks
that go underneath and they can write
the lead to their story.
They can even use the word land
slide" if they want to.
It looks so much like foregone
conclusion
OF course some editors will hedge
their bet by having two kinds of head
lines written, two sets Of decks and
two kinds Of leads ready, so that they
can go with whichever layout happens
to fit the returns.
But the "Landon page will never
see the sidewalks. 1t amt gonna be.

The hash is all on the plate.
The arguments are all in.
The charges have all been made.
The dirt is all dished
The volunteers are all on parade and
the mercenaries are all lined up.
We know where the steel trust
stands and we know where the muni-
tions makers stand.
And now we can march to the polls
to perform the final act.
In some places it is just yanking
a lever.
In some places it is putting a mark
on very simple ballot.
In some places it is job of making
a lot of marks on very complicated

Bonds Not Redeemed
The Northwestern Natural Gas
Co. failed to redeem bonds falling
1ue April 8, 1892, and the Union Ma
tional bank of Wichita, Kansas, re-
signed as trustee for the bondhold-
ers, and the bOndholders acting UNI
der trust deed, appointed Sears as
trustee. Reorganization under the
federal bankruptcy act was pro-
posed, but proceedings in the o.. s.
district court wer edismissed by
Judge j. Stanley Webster due to the
failure of creditors and bondholders
to agree on a plan of reorganization,
the finding of fact showed.
Sears declined to spend any of the
money above operating costs for
improvements since he became
trustee due to a disagreement
among bondholders as to the dispo-
sition Of the sum. Some of them
were contented to have it go for
Improvement and others held it
should be used to pay interest and
principal on bonds.

ALEXANDR|A'SCA|N.
IN BUILDING 4OO85
First Quarter of 1886 Shows
Squirt, With Total Put at
About S257,21O.
BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, April New
home construction and remodeling
here during the first three months Of
1896 almost quadrupled that of the
first quarter of 1885 when a new
yearly building record was set for
Alexandria, figures released today by
Building Inspector A r. Lash show.
To date, the recorded value OF build
ing activity here this year is S257, 7,210.
The value for January, February and
March, 1885, was S69,807.
A continuation of the fad for re-
storing old Alexandria homes-a fad
that has resulted in a three-year boom
for builders, architects, realtors and
tradesmen, and increased activity in
the construction of new homes
throughout the city's large suburban
area are responsible for the extensive
building operations.
In March this year, usually slow
month, the total value of work con-
tracted for was s172,829, just $4,000
short of that for october, 1885, the
peak month of the record year in
which building activity was recorded
at $174,839.
Contractors obtained 40 permits for
new homes and 81 permits for re-
modelling and repairing old residences
in March. Permits for new homes
we're valued at S138,625, for restora-
tions at S34,204.
In comparison only 9 permits for
new homes and 81 for repairs and
remodeling were obtained in March,
