FEDERAL AID MONEY.
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.

Taken Out as "Toy"
Tt is recorded that the first tele
phono to be1 disconnected Was
placed in a Itoston bank early in
Ihe year 1S77. The late K. T.
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

Mr. Holmes.
"What's a telephone?" lie re

or Mr. lienyon at the Kxchonge4
bank, and we will quickly signal
them and tell them that Mr. "Walley

you will immediately he able to

To which the president simply
gave a Krunt and ordered the
"plaything" taken out of his baifk

moved, and thus the lievere bank
went on record as the first tele-'
phone disconnection.
