ten per cent can and should be made
at the present short session of con

view.
Stress is laid on the desirability of
rapid retirement of the public debt.
Here again the treasury statement

notwithstanding the surplus, for in
November. 1925. not a single dollar
iwas applied to retirement of the pub-
lie debt through the sinking fund, but
in November this year, nearly $29, -
'000,000 was paid off; and in the first'
five months of 1927, amounts ap-
plied to the sinking fund totalled
over $209,000,000 as compared with
'$82,000,000 in the same period last
jyear or an increase of $127,000,000.

appropriation from the treasury of

counted for over eighty-three per cent
of this required amount another
good indicator of tie corpulent con
dition of the treasury's coffers.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note that the public debt in the
last seven years has
been reduced
over $7,000,000,000, or more than
twentv-five Der cent, and at the same

A NATION OF TELEPHONES
A third transcontinental long dis
tance telephone line will be complet
ed, shortly after the first of the year.
The First, or center line, was open
ed to San Francisco in 1915. The
second, or southern line was built
to Los Angeles about two years ago;
now the third, or northern line, ter
minates in the Pacific Northwest.
Transcontinental service will not
be at the mercy of storms in any one
section of the country. This is simp
ly another link in the network of
telephone wires which make a
neighborhood of this nation. No
other country has a service that can
begin to compare with our unified
system, which has made the tele
phone so common in the United
States that nearly every family has
one and any child can use it.

FUNCTIONAL inactivity of the

toms of this toxic condition are a

often shown by scanty or burning
