OCTOBER 17. 1917 PAYING UP Thf traditi.ma) bumitjf of the av eragr American has been finely dem onstrated once more, in the payments for 1-ibcrtjr Bonds. When it wa announced, at the conclusion of the first Liberty I-oan campaign, that 4,000,000 people had subscribed, there were many persons who said: "That' all very well. But it's easy enough to write your name and pay a dollar. Wait and see how they pay up the balance" We now have a chance to see. Figures were recently published show ing the situation in the second "lederai reterve district, which includes N'ew York City. In that district there were 976,959 subscribers, about one-fourth of all. in the country. Qui; of that great number of individuals and cor porations, only 564 had not paid in full at the time when the last pnv ment wu dML 1 fff That meant a delinquency of les than one subscriber in 1.700. Even that, in iguificant proportion, 'he set retary of the federal reserve ban'-, announced v as being reduced ever, day by belated payments. It should be noted, too. that in most instances there m no fa&tttC to pay the principal of th? principal of the bonds, but only neglect i" pay the accrued interest, lhat was in nearly every case a mere oversight. The total amount remaining u.--paid, when last reported, was about $45,000 out of $594,000,000. r $1 out of every $1.1.200. It's probably $1 out of $20,000 by this time. Figure from the rest of the country are not avail able, but it is believed that the aver age runs about the same everywhere. There is no reason for expeetin? any worse showing in the second loan. There will doubtless he a bet ter showing, because the process arffl be better understood. The American people ar? not only subscribing with uneamn!-d liber ality, but are paying up with re markable promptness and honesty. CHEAP TRANSPORTATION In all the welter of federal expend iture incidental to war preparations, it is gratifying to learn that in one particular the gorernment is saving money. That Is in railroad tran port, ion for the army and nary Thereby hangs a tale. It ii w-Il known that in the great era of railroad building between IBS'1 and 1870 the federal government gave huge land grants as subsidies to en courage the construction of new lines. In the 20 years mentioned, there were more than 100,000,000 acres given to ome 35 railroads. There has been much criticism in later years of this lavish policy. Whether it was wisr or justifiable s open to question. But In one respect, at least, most of the critics are wrong. The land (rift were not dead losses to the nation Today they appear in the guise of investments hearing interest. Some of those grants contained the provision that "all property and troops of the United States shall a all times he transported over said railroad and branches at the cost change and expense of the company. Other -rants gave the government rights which were questioned, and finally compromised on a basis of 50 per cent of the usual charges The government is therefore able today t nave a considerable part of its war transportation handled at half price and some of it free The savint? i! eirpected to amount to $50,000,000 3 year.

Dunbar Conductor, Union Pacific Railroad CHICAGO, Oct 17 As a conduc tor on one of the through trains on the Union Pact tic railroad. 1 came in contact constantly with the trav eling public, and I UN endeavoring to d. :.iy part in the big task of nflln bsg win the war by eyplainnig a ;a lintly as possible to the passenger M my train, the big job vrUch t..c r -! oads ot the country ha.e in CUB acction ith war tran;ortaiion. Sonic days ago a woman passenji. on my tram remarked that the rail roads were rather boastful in taU . out the efforts they were asgJdnsj .iid the government. I point e j t to her the strategic necessity ai the railroads tor military pawpPSCi, calling her attention to the fact thai not only are the railroads calk ; on to handle the tremendous increase I'.-Jmary traffic, but that the job of moving the troops, munitions ami supplies was up to the railroads as m.ich as it is to the ocean rrctghterv She said that it had never occurred to her how really important the ra-.l roads were in war time. Many pf the traveling public, 1 find, complain of the crowded con dition existing, not only on my trai:. but on every train throughout the country, never realizing that every possible effort is being put forth by the carriers to supply first of all the needs of the government 1 am do :ng my part in trying to impress up on the public the fact that the rail roads today, under the command o: civilians have attained an efficiency and discipline which conforms to that demanded by the best military stan dards.
