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.

HOW I AM DOING MY BIT
TO HELP AMERICA WIN
By Peter E. 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. I find that a short talk with the
patrons of the L'nion Pacific railroad
