THE NATIONAL DEBT
Mr. Mellon takes pride in the state-
ment that revenue receipts for the
tnrfiscal year fell only $7,000,000
below the estimated total. The sur-
plus was $367,000,000, and income
probably n the neighborhood of $5,-
000,000,000, so it is easily to be seen
that the $7,000,000 deviation was a
slight one indeed. Mr. Mellon has rea-
son to be proud. Judging by the rec-
ords, he has been trying to estimate
the national income for seve nyears
now, and the seventh attempt Bhowed
him nowhere near correct. On each
previous attempt he missed it any-
where from $600,000,000 to $1,000,-
000,000. Mr. Mellon takes great pride
also in the fact that nearly $1,000,-
000,000 of the national debt was re-
tired during the year. That sounds
good. We all like to pay off our debts
if we can. However, it means also
that the taxpayers were required to
pay this $1,000,000,000 right at a
time when profits were rather small
and unemployment increasing. Funds
were taken from the people generally,
from business and industry and ag-
riculture, to be paid to bondholders,
most of whom are capitalists in com-
fortable circumstances, who appar-
ently have no better use for their
money than to gamble on the stock
exchanges.
Incidentally, the release of money
to those bondholders served to in-
crease the market for private bonds
and stocks. The brkers prolted and
the larger financial and business con-
cerns got their needed capital on eas-
ier terms, and out of taxes paid by
the rather hard-pressed little business
man, labor and agriculture. The na-
tional debt must be retired of course,
but there are a great many things to
take into consideration when we de-
cide on just how fast to retire it.
Certainly the people should know the
far-reaching effects involved, and not
merely be fed on pap about pairing
off the national debt as if it were
some overdue obligation.—Hamilton

“LANDS OVER THE FENCE”
While Cal Bounds of the Gunn
Ranch, north of town, and Fred Wal-
drip of this city were going out to
the ranch where Mr. Waldrip was to
repair a gasoline engine used in
pumping stock water, Saturday even •
ing, their car collided with that of
Cleburne Nichols, of the Smart farm,
and both can fairly well damaged.
In the impact no one was injured
furthermore than possibly the produc-
tion of some gray hairs, but a dog in
the Nichols car went up in the air
about 20 feet and landed in a field be-
side the road.
n "79 Roth paries were turning a bend ir
e'the road and the glare of the sun,
which was said to be only “about six
feet high,” obscured the oncoming
car from Mr. Bounds’ view and he
was on it too late to avoid the col-
lision.—Walnut Springs Hustler.
