WHAT THE PANAMA CANAL j
HAS COST
(From Leslie’s Weekly)
Up to the present time the Pan.
ama Canal has cost the people of
the United States $357,436,084.84.
of that amount $14,680,873.30 has
been devoted to fortifications. Con
gress has actually appropriated for
the canal a total of $394,399,140.02
to June 30, 1915. These figures
are given in the annual. report or
Maj. Gen. George W. Goethals. So
far, the American people have had
little use of the Panama canal.
Whether this is to be a stragetic
military advantage remains to be
seen, as there has not yet been
any attempt to send Dreadnaughts
through the canal. The canal is
being paid for out of current re
venues, although the benificiarles
largely will be future generations.
This is also true of the large sums
of money spent annualy on rivers
and harbors and public buildings.
H is especiall> true of the $fi0,000,
000 which physical valuation of
the railroads is costing. No large
corporation could survive under such
a. system of finance. Stocks and
bonds are being issued for perman
ent improvements. The United
States government pays for per
manent improvements out of cur
i-ent expenses, so that the entire
burden is placed upon the present
generation. Only a few pennies
of the price paid for a railroad
ticket go for permanent improve
ments. Such as ofr the railroad
station in which the ticket is sold.
This distributes the burden over
a long period of years, so that the
hardship is felt by none. As
pointed out recently, one of the
greatest needs of this government
is for ageneral plan of financing
extending over a period of years,
and accompanied by an understand
able budget system.

INDESTRUCTO trunks are not by any means If
for rich people alone. Don’t think that because H
people of means so generally use them that they H
are not well within the resources of the average family. S
Why, we believe that if the people of this city really knew how M
much comfort and satisfaction there is in an Indestructo trunk, g
and at what really moderate prices, hardly anybody would be 22
willing to go even through this summer without an Indestructo £2
Indestructo trunks have been around the world thousands of times. £2
They have been on the most strenuous exploring expeditions, and g
have come cut unscathed. Every trunk is guaranteed for at least 22 >
five years’ perfect service. £2
Of course they are smart appearing trunks, too. Not only are &
good, but look good. There’s some satisfaction in that.
If you take our advice you will not postpone one day longer
coming into our shop and letting us show you how interesting $2
Indestructo baggage is. £$
Indestructo trunks and leather goods. Good all through. Cl
