Attention 10 Risinq
U. 5. Debt Is Urged
As Trade Gains
Observer Hopes Cuts
Con Be Made in
Huge OutIoys
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Business
improvement has gained so much
momentum as strongly to suggest
that it will continue regardless of
whether the European decision be
for peace or var. It was the war
that started the motor, but now 1t
appears able to run on its own
power.
If this is so the time is opportune
to reconsider the status of the ma
tional debt. It would be unfortu-
nate in the extreme if the war or
Americas relation thereto should
serve to obscure the ominous up
ward march of the Federal deficit.
Between October S, 1898, and Oc-
tober S. 1899, the debt increased
precisely s2,434 ,13l ,36373, or almost
two and half billions, and it is
still growing. For the present fiscal
year to date the excess of expendi-
ture was $999, ,16l,3 1903. In the same
period year ago it was $76O,247,-
934. This month makes a better,
showing so far, but the time cov-
cred Is too short to be of any sig
nif1cance.
Importance Stressed.
The danger is that this is such
an old story no attention will be
paid to it, and yet, as Europe foun-
ders deeper and deeper into its own
war debt morass, the need for sol:
vency here at home becomes that
much greater. Much has been said
about the necessity of keeping this
country out of the war that it may
be in position to aid in the post
war reconstruction. That argument
applies to the financial as we'll as
the political side.
Now, no one expects balancing
of the budget this year or next.
Heavy additional expenditures for
national defense alone would pre-
vent that. However, that is no ex-
cuse for not taking every possible
means to hold down expenditures,
especially for recovery and relief"
Recovery has begun. and the, need
of relief is, or ought to be, propor-
tlonately less. The Treasury has
done the best it could under the
circumstances. 1t is not Mr.. Nor
genthau who makes the appropria-
tlons. That Is up to the Congress,
guided more or less by the White
House
Industry Receivers.
All OF which brings us back to
the present business situation. The
Federal Reserve Boards adjusted
index of production for September
stands at ITO, against l02 for August,
which means that industry is back
to the 1887 level approximately
Presumably national income is ris-
ing in proportion. although still no.
where near the 1900, 900 900 mark
which has been set as the total
needed to balance the budget at
the present rate of expenditures.
If, however, a beginning cannot
be made now toward cutting down
the rate at which the debt rises,
when can it be done? Or are we
like that shiftless man who couldn't
repair his leaky roof when 1t was
raining and didn't need to when it
was clear?
That business revival, If it con-
tinues, will be reflected in the stock
market goes without saying. Pyra-
miding OF the national debt, no
matter how dangerous over the
longer period, will not prevent that.
On the contrary. it only adds fuel
to the already great mass awaiting
the inflationary fire which is sure
to break out sometime.

OF Plan 10 Slash
Interest Charges
Three Judges Decide
Proposal Desirable
For Creditors
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE. Oct. 10.-The Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad got Clear
track" signal from Federal Court
yesterday on its proposal to ease its
financial burden by reducing the an
nual fixed interest charges on its
funded debt.
Three judges approved the appli-
cation, which had been opposed by
minority of bondholders at a hear
ing several weeks ago. The court
called the plan equitable and in
deed highly desirable and advanta-
geous for all the creditors - ."
Actually, the approval will have
no effect on present operation of the
road, but is expected to make avail
able in the next few months more
money for equipment and improved
operations. Officials said several
suits had been filed since the COM
pany began, several months ago,
meeting its obligations with reduced
interest payments.
In virtually all cases decisions were
withheld on these suits pending Fed
eral Court action on the application.
Under the plan, operative for eight
years, fixed charges on the funded
debt Will be cut from approximately
$31 900 900 to approximately 9,00O,-
900 In addition. the due date of
approximately sl85 ,OOO, 900 in securi-
ties will be extended.
The application, approved by 80
per cent of the company's creditors,
was presented to Federal Court after
President Roosevelt signed the
Chandler bill, applicable to railroads
seeking adjustment of their financial
structures.

Jacks contention is that the sport is

from a highly competitive standpoint.
Main directors will be the girls them

and officials within the schools will do
remains to be seen.
There are approximately 20 swimming
classes held in the local school system.
From these, girls showing the most
ability were selected and given ad-
ditional training. Many of them found
berths on the swimming team, and of
course, followed the routine involved in
getting into shape for dual meets.
The only part of this system that was
abolished by the 9th district state

competition of the dual and state meets.
New officers were also chosen at this

Fourth District Highway
Budget Set at $215, 400

has been done in the district during the
past several years, more money is being
asked for in these two funds with the
intention of taking care of several
much needed projects, the Fourth dis
,trict commissioner said.
The hike in the administration fund
was made in order to take care of the
normal demands made upon this fund,
he said, and pointed out that the sum
allocated last year was not sufficient
for this purpose.
Replacement of machinery whose age
or condition makes it very expensive
to operate motivated the increase in
the equipment fund, Commissioner Pete
said. The replacing of two power
patrols and a truck and the purchase
of new snow pillow are contemplated.
Cost of maintaining county garages
within the district comes from this
fund.
Originally the budget for 1899 ap-
proved by the 1889 board of commits
sioners totaled $23083495, but it con-
tanned proposed PwA grant of ST.
27485 from the federal government, the
commissioner said. The PWA projects
for the district were later rejected by
both the county and the PwA authori-
ties, thereby depriving the district of
the amount involved which had been
placed within the budget for the COM
ing year.
Figures recently published through
out the county giving the Fourth dis
trict's 1889 budget as $230,834!95 were
incorrect, he said, since the district did
not receive the PWA grant. The bud
