" [IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WESi ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN | Government gave to the | panies vast acreage of public lands. companies, in many instances, SOME RAILROAD PROFITS Some early railroad history. is brought | to mind by the decision of a Federal judge, | at Spokane, equally divided nearly three million rich | Gov- | ernment and the Northern Pacific Railroad | Washington, who almost western acres between the Federal Company. While we are not familiar with the legal aspects of the case, it seems that the Government contended that more than two million, seven hundred thousand acres of land should remain in the public domain. This contention was resisted by the Rail- road Company. What is interesting in the case is the statement of Norman M. Littell, special as- sistant-United States Attorney-General, who told the Court that the railroad had | made $205,000,000 from the sale of grant! lands, still possessed six million acres and had spent only $68,000,000 in building the | railroad. In other words, in the early history of railroad construction, the United States railroad com- The aided by contributions from the acres traversed, built the roads with private capital and | gradually sold the lands given to them by the Government. The statement of the legal representa- | tive of the Government is interesting in that it asserts that the railroad company | spent only $68,000,000 to build a road and later sold more than $205,000,000 worth of land. It still retains six million acres. This | looks like the Government paid a_ high | | price to get private capital to railroads, The history of much railroad con- | struction in this country reveals the enor- | mous subsides from the Government.

Citizen, i j attend high school | population | gradually decrease, but that time | far distant if the decrease in the birth rate BIRTH RATE DECLINES An interesting and rather surprising population trend is seen in the fact that trere are now more than a million and a | half fewer children cf elementary school age in this country than there were 10 years ago. This estimate includes chil- dren between 5 and 14 years of age. The steadily declining birth rate in the United States, which dropped from 25 per 1,000 of population in 1916 to 17 per | 1,000 in 1937, explains the reduction in the number of children in grammar grades. High school enrollment, however, is now at its peak, as the birth rate held | above 22 per 1,000 of population through 1924; also because a larger percentage of young people now have opportunities to than formerly. But high school attendance will likely show a decrease within a few years. Along with the decline in the number of children, there has been a marked in- crease in the number of old people in the United States. Persons 65 years and over now number more than eight and a half million, compared wih six and a half mil- lion 10 years ago. $ Experts predict that the United States will reach its maximum population of ap- | proximately 150 million about the year | 1960. The census next year is expected to show a population slightly over 130 mil- lion, a gain of less than eight million for the decade, and less than one-half the gain made between 1920 and 1930. It is difficult to imagine a time when shall remain stationary or continues. MOVING U. S. PLANTS TO CANADA From Toronto, Canada, comes the news that an American banker, in that city, expresses the opinion that American manufacturers might send their equipment into Canada and establish plants for mak- ing war supplies. The restrictions of the present Neu- trality Act, prohibiting the sale of muni- tions, airplanes, etc., to belligerent nations, he explained, would lead to such a move. Of course, American makers of planes, arms, munitions and implements of war will follow the chance for profits that arises on account of the war in Europe. If. it is necessary to transfer their plants from the United States into Canada and transport American workmen into Canada in order to secure and fill contracts for war sup- plies, they will do so. is not | that will set off, the main course _ KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY | Florida Cracker, |clo Key West Citizen, | Key West, Fla.
