THE BUGABOO OF GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.
One of the stand-pat Republican
newspapers of St. Louis has ma
terialized the ghost of government
ownership of railroads, telephones
and telegraphs, and is greatly dis
turbed. It is not improbable that,
some time, the National Govern
ment will control all utilities having
to do with iuterstate commerce.
It may be in the next generation,
possibly in t'nis one.
For the present, the stand pat
ters may dismiss their dread of
government ownership, and the
reason is—taxes.
In 1912 the railroads, telegraph
and telephone companies paid in
taxes something like $ 1 10,000,000
—the figures are taken from statis
tics gathered by the United States
Government. With the incometax
law in effect, these public service
utilities should pay not less than
$125,000,000 a year in taxes.
Uncle Sam pays no taxes, and
so, under government ownership
the individual states would lose
not less than a million dollars in
come. It is unlikely that the ghost
will become a reality until some
means are devised by which this
huge loss i;o the states can be
offset.
The high cost of living cannot be
reduced so Ion.? as the oeef cattle,
hogs and sheep diminish in num
bers each year The report of the
Department of Agriculture pub
lished a few days ago shows this
better than any array of facts and
figures which migh; be mentioned
here. As long as people will play
and not produce they must pay and
lament. That is an iron-clad, in
exorible law of economics that we
cannot avoid. We have been pro
ducing too little in this country and j
the shrinkage is alarming. Until
the tide sets countryward again we
shall continue to pay an ever in
creasing price for our beefsteaks
and porkchops. and no tariff or
currency bills, no prosecution o:
“merciless" trusts, can change the
situation in the least. If we d<
not raise enough to eat we mus'
either import or starve; in the
meantime we must pay exhorbi
tant prices because we are tot
lazy, most of us. to join to the grea
army of producers who are profit
ing by our indolence.

JEW WAY TO MEASURE LAJJf
Tennesseean Has System of Weighing
Which May Yet Be Brought
to Perfection.
A Tennesseean has discovered a
new way to measure large areas oi
land. He weighs it—rather, ht
weighs his map and computes tin
measurements from the scale rec
ords. Louis C. Mathey of Spot.
Tenn., writes to Engineering News
that he has for thirty-four year
been obtaining land areas by tin
simple process of accurately plotting
the survey to scale on good paper,
then cutting away the paper outside
the boundary with a sharp knife and
weighing the folded plot of the tract
on a chemist’s or jeweler’s scale ac
curately to one sixty-fourth grain.
He sends a sample map of a tract
of 1(5,651 acres, plotted on a scah
of 80 rods to the inch on a sheet of
18x24-inch paper which weighed
42 8-32 grains. Engineering News
comments:
“While the plan might serve as a
rough check on computations, the
limit of error in plotting and trim
ming, as well as in weighing, would
make the scheme only applicable
where land is of very low value.”
TO MAKE COAL MINING SAFE
Simple Test for Fire Damp Said to
Be the Best That Has So Far
Been Put Forward.
One of the simplest of the many
suggested tests for firedamp in mines
is that described by Henry Briggs to
the Scottish Society of Arts. It is
m attachment that may he applied
io any oil or spirit safety lamp, and
consists of a loop of copper wire sup
ported on a brass rod passing through
the oil vessel. To make a test the
loop is moved into the flame. This
becomes instantly nqn-luminous, hut
if firedamp is present in the air the
gas cap is clearly seen. The test
can he made in a moment at any
time without turning down or put
ting out the light.
It is claimed that the percentage
of firedamp this method will detect
is exceedingly small, and the results
of trinls on both laboratory and
mine go to show that this is one of
the most sensitive, accurate and ex
peditious means of revealing the
presence of inflammable gas in mine
or other air.
NO MONOPOLY OF LOYALTY.
A South side man and his wife,
who have no children but who keep
a dog, were discussing the fidelity
of dumb friends last night, when she
said:
“Isn’t it remarkable how a dog
will love some worthless old fellow,
wen though he might he a mur
derer? I can’t understand it—it
seems as though even a dog would
understand what a brute some men
ire. Some dogs will stick to their
masters through anything.”
“So will some women,” remarked
her husband. And he cited a recent
Kansas City case to prove it.
Hut still she doesn’t understand
it.—Kansas Citv Star.
CAUGHT.
The Wife—Where have rou been,
Jack ?
The Husband—Town to armory,
drilling. You know this is drill
flight.
“And is that where you got that
powder on the lapel of your coat?”
ALL IT AMOUNTS TO.
“Wife going away for the sum
mer ?”
“Nope. This year she’s decided
to stay home and do her rocking on
her own porch.”
AND THEN SOME.
“But you inherit everything your
father left, don’t you?”
“Yes, sir: .including his debts, a
rovintr disposition, ami a tendency to
gout.”
