In all large: pubhn.\undermkmgs where permanent xmprdvements were sought to be made it has "¢ “becotie 4@ custom to' issue-long-time bonds in order _ to ;secure the money with wh:ch to finance the work. - i Probably nine-tenths of l:ho coutmes of mne- tenths of the states of the union are bonded to.a greater or less:extent, and scarcely a city.orfown of any. xmportance in the land but.carries.its ‘bonded debt that has gone to pay for :public utilities. But in'many cases the advocates of the bond issue have had hard fights to carry. their projects through. -~ " One of the most serious objections has always been " from the man who “doesn’t believein saddling & debt on’ future generations.”™ ) Now 1et us see about this. Suppose, Ior instance, our co\mt‘y ‘has no failroad. ' For generations our " ancestors, and we ourselves, have laboriously hauled’ in our supplies and hauled out our products, realiz- . ing, when all expenses were_met, but a nieagre plf«- tance for our year’s work. But-a railroad. is pro;ected and we -are “told if - we will bond our county for a few hundred thousand 7 dollars, it will be put through. This we do. Now . arises the objection that we have placed a heavy debt on posterity. i Have we? Yes. But at the same time we have given pos- terity the means to pay that debt and then. be: ! infinitely better off than we and our fathers were - Compare, for a moment the. difference .in. their condition, and ours before the road was built. . The. average county is about twenty-five miles wide. Suppose that represented the distance to'the nearesl_:~ : shipping point. Do you see the enormous saving we have effected for posterity in bnngmg the road . " to their doors? Again, take the question of roads The same reasoning will 'hold good there. Whereas we and- our fathers toiled through.mud and mire to drag fifteen or twenty bushels of grain to market, our sons can hitch up an ordinary team and take a load of two or three thousand pounds with ease and in.. much less time than we_needed. And so on through “the list ‘of all permanent public improvements. But the work"should be permanent, or at.least as’ Business and Sentiment. “Business is business,” one merchant said Long years ago, and that ‘man is dead, But the phrase he uttered will still arise For men repeat it.and think it- wise. No sentiment in the marts of trade? ~That’s the gravest error that men have made, For the merchant knows if his purse he'd fill, He must build his busines on your good w:ll. And what is good will but a word of praise And kindly dealing and cheerful ways i And the wish to stifle all discontent, And these are nothing but sentiment. A.
