Planned Ship Railway Over Mexican lsthmus

I .AST1NG monuments to the " engineering genius of the late Capt. James E. Eads are the jet ties at the mouth of the Missis- sippi river and the deep channel they created, opening the port of New Orleans to world traffic.
 On n par with this achievement was his construction of the Eads bridge at St. Louis, Mo, in 1867- "A. The three 500-foot spans were the largest built up to that time. He had to sink one of it's piers 1l0 feet below the surface of the river, the deepest submarine construc- ton that had been attempted.
 No fantastic dream, therefore, was Eads' projected ship railway across the Isthmus of Tchuante- pee in southern Mexico.
 He envisioned a railroad con- sisting of many parallel lines of tracks, over which numerous To- comotives would pull a gigantic ship cradle. The cradle was to be submerged at the ocean terminus, the ship hoated onto it and then locomotives would pull cradle and ship 134 miles across for launch- ing on the opposite side.
 Eads claimed that his railway could be built in four years at half the cost of the Nicaraguan canal, then under discussions; that 1t would save 2000 miles as com- pared with the proposed Panama Canal; and that it could be en- larged to take care of increasing business.
 But Eads died in 1887 and with him died the dream of ship rail- way.
 Eads' Bridge over the Missis- ,ippi at St. Louis is shown on the U. s. $2 stamp above, light brown, enlarged, ono of the Trans-Mis- issippi Omaha" Exposition series ,f 1898.

SPEND, SPEND, SPEND?

The continued upsetting of eco
nomic laws still goes on in Wash
ington. The latest is new seven
year plan to lend $1,000, 100000 for
projects designated as self -liquidat-
ing. and S8O0,O00,0OO more for the
low-cost housing program. A pro-
posal is also being considered to re-
duce interest rates on FILA insured
mortgages in an effort to induce
more private construction. This is
/ described as "a permanent policy"
of federal financing of self -liquidat-
ing projects.
This is just another plan for fed
orally designated circulation of
money to be loaned by private
agencies. but guaranteed by the
government. Technically, that keeps
it out of the budget, even though it
! is government obligation like any
other, and would pyramid the ma
tional debt nearly S4,000,000 900
more. The effort to further reduce
interest rates for building is just
a boomerang. Government bor-
rowings and loans at low interest
rates have already so destroyed the
return on invested savings and bank
deposits that income from these
sources which was formerly used
for building and buying the luXur-
| les and necessities of life, has been
so reduced that it is slowly but
surely bringing business to stand
still.
It takes two or three times as
much life insurance today to give
a dependent the same income pro-
lection, as was necessary five years
ago. 1t takes two or three times
as much hard-earned savings to
earn the same return for a frugal
person. Our politicians seem to

MONEY IN THE BANK

1t is widely argued that there is
too much money in the banks. De-
posits are at extremely high levels.
Billions of dollars of capital are ly-
ing idle, and performing little or no
productive service to the country
In the light of this, it is very
easy thing to turn ones ire loose
on bankers and banking-and to
lay at their doors much of the re-
sponsibility for continued doldrums
in industry. It's easy-but it's in
accurate.
The people with money in the
banks, and the bankers whose re-
sponsibility is to preserve and pro-
tect it, are no less eager to put cap
ital to mork than you are. From the
bankers point of view, the more
sound loans he can make the bet
ter-that's the only way he can earn
a profit for his bank, and build up
his community so that his bank too
may grow. But the fly in the oint-
ment lies in the increasing diff
culties placed in the way of making
political origin.
The world of industry now lives
in state of chaos. 1t is bedeviled
on one hand by excessive taxes. 1t
is plagued on the other side with
restrictive legislation which in mi
mical to investment, to progress, to
substantial employment. 1t is
threatened continually with more
experiments" And the inevitable
result is less and less stability-and
less and less room for making ade-
quately secured loans for industrial
purposes on which economic devel-
opment depends.
Tax policies which take most of
the profit out of successful under
takings, leaving the hacker to alb
sorb all the loss if they fail, plus a
general Legislative policy antagon-
istic to our traditional system of
private enterprise, does not make
for widespread loans or invest
ments, particularly if depositors'
funds are to be protected.

have gone mad on policy of spend,
spend, spend.
The abnormal reduction of inter
est rates destroys earnings and saw
ings. Putting the government more
and more into the loaning and gift
business, destroys the opportunities
for millions of private individuals
to invest their savings and money
left from life insurance policies in
a manner which will bring them
any reasonable return whatsoever.
And, in the past, they have been
the people who have furnished the
money to develop the country, Gre
ate employment and maintain buy
ing power.
Someone has got to earn and save
before money can be spent Our
present national spending policy is
maintained by absorbing the saw
ings of the nation. One man can
spend another mans savings, but
when the savings are all spent.
both men will go hungry. That
seems to be the end we are all
headed for with the government
going more and more into the bust
ness of its private citizens and US
ing their capital to destroy private
earnings which must be maintained
in some manner for the support of
government itself. let alone its peo-
pie.
We have about reached the day

save must be adopted to prevent
the inevitable consequences of a
spendthrift existence by either an
individual, a family or a govern

TOWN GRAVE DIGGERS.

In nearly every community NAV
be found quite number of persons
who consider themselves leading
citizens but who in truth are help
ing to dig a grave for their town.
They do it through their failure
to support the institutions which
make the town what it is. They do
it by sending away for merchan-
disc which can be bought with
equal advantage at home. They do
it frequently by sheer disregard for
the welfare of the community of
which they are a part.
The doctrine of buying at home
is not advanced solely in the inter-
est of individual merchants. 1t is
advocated because every citizen of
a town is to a certain extent de-
pendent upon every other citizen
for his own prosperity.
If the shoe dealer sends away for
his automobile tires and the auto
mobile man sends away for his
groceries and the grocery man sends
away for his clothing, and so on,
how can they expect to build local
prosperity?
All the fine talk about civic pride
that we may indulge in will never
make town so long as the life
blood of the communicated cash
is spent elsewhere.
A man may make boosting
speeches until he is black in the
face, but unless he will spend his
money where he makes it, he is a
hometown gravedigger.

There are only six states in which

Roberson's
Bond $4,000

Bail for Vernon c. Robertson, 25-
year-old barber who last week shot
and killed Hunter Coggsdale in the
cafe-pool room where the latter work
ed, has been reduced from $4,000
to $4,000, but early this afternoon he
had not furnished bond and was still
held in Vance county jail.
Robertson was given a preliminary
hearing before Recorder R. E. Gle
ments last Friday, when four state
witnesses testified. The defendant
offered no evidence, and the record
er ordered that $4,000 bail should
be required.
E. o. Falkner, clerk of superior
court, said today the recorder had
reduced the bond, but that the de-
fendant was still in custody. The
warrant, prepared by County Prose-
cutor B. P. Wyche, charged Rober-
son with first degree murder.
Robertson had charged Coggsdale
with paying attentions to Mrs. Rober-
son after the barber had warned the
cafe man to desist
