SOME RAILROAD PROFITS

Some early railroad history is brought
to, mind by the decision of a Federal Judge,
at Spokane, Washington, who almost
equally divided nearly three million rich
western acres between the Federal Gov
eminent and the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company.
While we are not familiar with the
legal aspects of the case, it seems that the
Government commended that more than two
million, seven hundred thousand acres of
land should remain in the public domain.
This contention was resisted by the Rail-
road Company.
What is interesting in the case is the
statement of Norman M. Littell, special as
sistant- United States Attorney-General,
who told the Court that the railroad had
made $2O5, 100000 from the sale of grant
lands, still possessed six million acres and
had spent only $68, OOO,O 900 in building the
railroad.
In other words, in the early history of
railroad construction, the United States
Government gave to the railroad COM
panies vast acreage of public lands. The
companies, in many instances, aided by
contributions from the acres traversed,
built the roads with private capital and
gradually sold the lands given to them by
the Government.
The statement of the legal representa-
tive of the Government is interesting in
that it asserts that the railroad company
spent only $68,000,000 to build road and
later sold more than $2O5, 600 worth of
land. 1t still retains six million acres. This
looks like the Government paid a high
price to get private capital to construct
railroads.
The history of much railroad con-
struction in this country reveals the enor-
nous subsidies from the Government. In
no sense were the undertakings the result
of private initiative. In some cases, the
subsidies, land grants and contributions in
connection with the construction of rail-
roads amounted to a scandal.

MOVING U. S. PLANTS TO CANADA

From Toronto, Canada, comes the
news that an American banker, in that
city, expresses the opinion that American
manufacturers might send their equipment
into Canada and establish plants for max
ing war supplies.
The restrictions of the present Neu-
trality Act, prohibiting the sale of NUM-
tions, airplanes, ETC., to belligerent nations,
he explained, would lead to such move.
Of course, American makers of planes,
arms, munitions and implements of war
will follow the chance for profits that arises
on account of the war in Europe. If it is
necessary to transfer their plants from the
United States into Canada and transport
American workmen into Canada in order
to secure and fill contracts for war sup
plies, they will do so.

From The Files Of The Citizen

cidedly the most logical in the
southeast for a free port, with
facilities and conditions ideal,
this city has long lead over 9TH
err Florida cities seeking to be
designated as free port.
Mrs. Mary Olivieri and Peter
Fornes were married yesterday at
the home of the bride, Oil Eliza
beth street The bride wore a
beautiful gown of wolfe and car
ried a bouquet of beautiful roses.
A reception was held at Z o'clock,
following the ceremony in the
afternoon. Music, dancing and
several solos were the features
of the evening. Delicious refresh
ments were served the guests.
Fire at o'clock this morning
practically destroyed the rear
portion of the two-story frame
structure at 229 Duval street,
owned by Aquilino Lopez, pro-
prietor of the Delmonico restau-
rant. Insurance of $4,000 was
carried on the building, which

BIRTH RATE DECLINES

An interesting and rather surprising
population trend is seen in the fact that
trere are now more than million and a
half fewer children Of elementary school
age in this country than there were 10
years ago. This estimate includes chill
dren between and IA years of age.
49,. The steadily declining birth rate in
the United States, which dropped from rs
per 1000 of population in 1916 to II per
1000 in 1887, explains the reduction in
the number of children in grammar grades
High school enrolment, however, is
now at it's peak, as the birth rate held
above % per 1000 of population through
1924; also because larger percentage of
young people now have opportunities to
attend high school than formerly. But
high school attendance will likely show a
decrease within a few years.
Along with the decline in the number
of children, there has been a marked in
crease in the number of old people in the
United States. Persons 65 years and over
now number more than eight and a half
million, compared win six and half mil
lion 10 years ago.
Experts predict that the United States
will reach its maximum population of APP
proximately $50 million about the year
1860. The census next year is expected to
show population slightly over $50 mil
lion, gain of less than eight million for
the decade, and less than one-half the
gain made between 1920 and 1880.
1t is difficult to imagine time when
population shall remain stationary or
gradually decrease, but that time is not
far distant if the decrease in the birth rate
continues.

We always feel better after having talked
to such a person than we do after talk
with man who is critical and fault find

about the town booster that makes us feel
good toward ourself, the town and every
body in it. We believe every one feels
this way when they hear their home town

Regular meeting of the Ameri-
can Legion last night was largely
attended both by Legionnaires
and members of various civil
bodies, fraternal and religious
organizations. The principal top
ic of discussion was the Legion's
Emergency Disaster Unit. Com
mander A. H. Sheppard sub
mitted complete plans as outlin-
ed by himself and the committee
for the proper functioning Of
this unit and all organizations
represented pledged their whole
hearted support in every possible
manner. The city will be divided
into four sections and each sta
ton will have a captain and Is
men to work with him. In addi-
ton to the Legion members each
section will have runners from
the boy scouts and the sea scouts.
The first seaplane that has ever
attempted landing in the salt
ponds near the county road came
down safely there yesterday
without any damage whatever,
according to Pilot A. J. Williams.
The deepest water in the old salt
ponds is two feet, yet the Paln
Beach plane lighted safely and
Mr.. Williams says they can
easily takeoff. The plane is own
ed by William Boggess of Palm
Beach and fled to Key West to
get out of the path of the pre-
dicted tropical disturbance re-
ported today as still in the vicin-
ity of Nassau and moving west
ward. Mr.. Williams was accom-
panied on the trip by Eddie Bog

are sure what the blow is going
to do, they said.
Key West is being considered
as location for a large motion

communication received at Cham

from a number of cities but would
like to locate in Key West if it
is possible, the communication
stated.
A very entertaining and en-
Tightening talk on the confer
ences. past and future, on imi-
tation of naval ornaments, was
made at the meeting of the Ro-
tary Club today by Commander
Ralph SpaIding. The command
er's viewpoint from the stand
point of naval officer was that
the civilian would understand
the points brought out by the
government. Several questions
were asked by the officer that
brought out still further some OF
the misunderstood points.

LAST WINTER. when proper
ty owners came into a little more
money and began painting their
houses the beautiful. white of
houses in the tropics. the big
question which came UP was
what color should the blinds be
painted. One northern real es-
tate developer decides on Ha-
vana blue The usual color in
Key West has been a dark green.
Then sprang up other tints, such
as ivory and light yellow. There
has been some rather overdone
red and orange blinds. This prob
lem will become more and more
pressing as the entire city be-
comes ledecorated, otherwise
we're going to have the darndest
combinations of red. blue, green,
orange, ETC., you've ever seen.
Undoubtedly. though, white
should be the predominant color
for the houses. Trips to any
beautiful tropic spots. such as
Bermuda or cities in South Amer
lea, show white on the houses.
Usually, too, these houses are
fringed with beautiful waving
palms or other tropical trees and
spotted with the color of tropical
blooms. Miami Beach is a good
example of this: small, white
bungalows wreathed in purple
bougainvillaea with light shades
of yellow or green for blinds and
waving palms in, the front yards.
Glance at pictures of old Key
West for more verification.
