A great deal of confusion exists in the pub lic niind regarding the "railroad funding bill" which will be one of the pieces of "unfinished business" before the Senate after the recess. Most of this confusion is due to the fact that up-to-date what discussion there has been of the bill has been couched in financial terms rather than translated into the language of the everyday citizen. Some of it is due to propaganda turned loose by those who wish to see the railroads forced back into government owner ship, and they have reason to believe a long step in that direction would be taken if the funding bill were de feated. Congressman William R. Green, of Iowa, a close student of railroad problems, has undertaken to explain the railroad funding bill in terms that are readily understandable. Rep resentative Green says: "The bill provides in effect that not to exceed $500,000,000 of the amount owing to the government may be funded by taking securities of the railways for that amount which may be purchased and sold by the war finance corporation. The bill makes no donations, and does not give the railroads a cent. It does not provide for a dollar to be given out of the government treasury, nor can it in any way increase the bur den of taxation. The war finance corporation will sell any bonds that it receives without recourse and neither it nor the government will be liable upon any bond sold. The war finance corporation will take, as it has heretofore, only bonds that are well secured. Why Funding Is Necessary "The question is naturally asked by those not familiar with railroad financing: 'Why fund this amount? Why not pay the railroads what we owe them and wipe off the slate? Just this: The government took all the receipts while in control, and if it now deducts all that it spent for permanent improvements there will be so small an amount left that the railroads can hot buy the supplies and equipment necessary for their efficient operation. When the rail roads were under private control, they were always compelled to bor row on long time the greater part of what they expended on permanent improvements. Had they not done so they must have either charged higher rates or failed to make the improvements. The bill puts the companies in the condition in which they would have been had they been under private control. "The fact is that the railroads can not carry on without marketing large amount of securities, and all that the bill does is to enable the agencies, and the companies to get the cash. The war finance corpora tion has been so successful in the past, having neither lost a dollar for itself nor for any of its customers, that it is confident of finding a mar ket for any security which it takes. "The nature or the situation and the reason why it is necessary to fund part of the railroad debt may be better understood from an illustra tion. Suppose that Farmer Smith wishes to move into town and rent his farm, with all machinery to carry it on, to Farmer Jones, and he is to be given credit for permanent im provements. At the end of the year Smith calls for his rent. Jones says: "Well, there isn't very much due you. I have built another barn, have torn down the hog house which wasn't built right, and built a bigger and better one, and I have bought a trac tor. ' "Great Scott, man, Smith ex claims, "how do you expect me to live? The improvements were nec essary, but you will have to help me to negotiate my note for the most of that stuff you have been buying.' It is the same way with the railroads. If two-thirds of their rent must be applied on permanent improvements how are they going to pay ordinary expenses and repairs. "Meanwhile there Is a strong de mand on the railroads for a reduction of rates, especially on agricultural products. This demand is justified and while the railroads have made some reductions they have not gone WE. HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ONE THING ABOUT THESE DECIDED PLONDES. WHEN DID THEY DECIDE? COP-. HidHT "Some one has been taking the church money from this box, and you know no one has access to it but you and myself." "Well," replied Henry calmly, "if that's the case, it s up to you and me to make it up between ourselves and say nothin' to nobody." American Legion Weekly.

The poet knew a lot of things peculiar to his tribe, but he never dreamed of pleasantries that hit the modern scribe. He never knew the land lord that held him up for rents, nor saw a common nickel show that charged him twenty cents; he never paid a dollar for a five-cent jitney ride, nor lived beneath a fran chise that "touched" him till he died. If he had paid a license tax on every trick he turned, and carried fire in surance on stuff that neer burned, in short, , if they had taxed him from his boot-heels to his hair, and stuck him for the limit on every thing but air, he might have writ ten dramas that immortalized his dust, but I'd hate to read the epil ogue relating how he cussel. 6EE-THlSNEWFALLjs',1'''Cv, Ji H'lXl-GIMME I J HfuS STtU-A! nnmr HAT WAS A BARGAIN viv C H cv' SY,lGCTrVi LISTEN-WAfTA MINUTE ! i WANNA TELL YOU ABOUT THE NEW HAT I GOT FOR ONLY 50 1 .
