Governor Ritchie of Maryland turned the spotlight on federal aid at the conference of governors in Maine recently and registered heavy objections to the system of distribu tion as being unfair to a big majority of individual states. 'It was a natural course for an eastern governor to take but it is doubtful if he will be able to convince those in authority that the present operation of the plan is as bud .as he makes out. Maryland, we would judge from the governor's outburst, is one of the states that is paying out more money in taxis to the federal aid budget than it is getting back, but con trary to Governor Ritchie's opinion we believe that such a -'system is not unfair to those eastern states who are so "burdened." About 81 per cent of the $7.",)0),(H)) distrib uted under the federal aid plan is paid by eighteen states Miiioslly eastern states having a heavy majority of ptipul( I lion) and not one of these states gets back in federal aid ;10 per cent of what it contributes; and seventeen other states pay less than four million iu and get back over ; twenty-three million in federal aid. Although we do not have the figures immediately at ' hand, we would imagine that Oregon is one of these states getting much more than it contributes but is that really an unfair plan and one that works a hardship on the few Unit pay ten times what they receive? Most of the states receiving a larger amount from the federal government aro : western states, rich in natural resources, vast in territory, and small in population and active wealth. These states aie tremendous factoi-s in making prosperity for the in dustrial east but they are largely so because eastern capi ' tal has found it profitable to help develop western possi bilities and federal aid has made possible the road building ;iind agricultural extension work which has eventually meant increased business activity for the eastern states. Y Federal aid has played an important part in Oregon's development and in that of many other states in the west, "but it is a development that helps bring prosperity not only ;to these states but also to the entire nation. I'astern peo Jiie, for example, are the first to become indignant if they -find poorly "built highways when they journey westward, yet they would seldom stop to realize the financial problem, of a slate like Wyoming in its highway program as com pared to that of a state like Maryland. Distribution of federal aid in the present manner is not n necessity and can, of course, be dispensed with, but il 'the federal government is to continue its policy of aiding ; national development, where such development would be -either impossible or much slower without aid, for the good of the entire country, the present system is the only piac : tical one. Kaslern states may not benefit directly in proper : measure but they benefit tremendously in the long run. Vfc .OFFICE CAT TMAULtANK RtO.

Holmes at that time headed a bur glar alarm sjstem and started what he termed Ihe Telephone I 'espatch company. Telephones were placed in several hanks, amoiiK thmu the Uevere bank. The following morn ing a messenger from the Kevere bank brought word to Mr. Holmes that the president desired to nee him a I once. I lurrying to t he bank, tile following conversation took place. "Mr. Holmes, what is that play toy you have taken the liberty of puttfnur up out I In-re in my bank?" -That. Mr. Walley, Is what they lumber's Wife Kills Self. are going to call a lelephono," said Mr. Holmes. "What's a telephone?" lie re plied. "Well, Mr. Walley, you can ring the hell in my office, giving a cer tain signal, and throw a switch, . and you can say to my office that you would like to talk with Air. kipley at the Hydo and Leather, or Mr. lienyon at the Kxchonge4 bank, and we will quickly signal them and tell them that Mr. "Walley would like to talk with them, and you will immediately he able to converse with Ihem." To which the president simply gave a Krunt and ordered the "plaything" taken out of his baifk at onee. The plaything was re- moved, and thus the lievere bank went on record as the first tele-' phone disconnection. t 'urn onr "v' baud. ' shirt ;.! A I TV joy hW t h sentence: il. d-;.r."
