FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IS, THE MEXIA Entered "at 'the postoffice -at TVIexia, second jaafl matter under act of March' 3, Office with the News Publishing Company C. L. TATUM, -BONDS AND OUR CHILDREN NE of the unfortunate features of the recent economic recession is the habit of government agencies "refinancing" their bonded indebtedness. There is no city, district county or state that wants to see its credit impaired 'nor'its obligations defaulted. But it certainly is not right to the future generations to saddle'on them the obligations we have made and cannot meet.

Delaying the derly payment of bonds is not right. Many districts and municipalities': have set their bonas over for 10 to 20 year's in maturity date, making their payments now in interest only. Far better would plan to pay every last cent available now on the obligations-now due, but not postpone the principal payment date. Instead of voting 40 year bonds we'should have been limited to 20 year obligations. The holder of a serial bond due in times of an economic crisis should take his chances along with everybody else having obligation's due in a crisis, take the best he can do and go When people are up a facility faster than they are cutting down the loan with'which it-was constructed- they are'mereiy saddling on another generation the troubles which belong to the present age.

The rate at which we are retiring the city of JVlexia and the Mexia school district bonds-is certainly not encour- "aging We realize now that the.rate of interest is very much too high, and.the bond holders also realize this. They want some payment of principal as well as interest, and so do tne -taxpayers. A plan to cut down the interest and retire some cf the principal every year certainly should meet with lay- or If our bonds have 30 years to run we certainly should pay at least of every year, as as a reduced interest.

Two Members of Dirigible Crew Lost in Wreck Commander Tells of Discovery of His Trouble SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. mysterious caused either by an explosion or a structural away the tail of the giant dirigible Macon in mid air, plunging the pride of the navy and her 83 officers and men into the Pacific, official.re- ports indicated today. Heroic and efficient rescue work by battleships and cruisers kept her crash from being another major disaster duplicating the horror of the wreck of her sister ship, the Akron, in which 73 lives were lost. Only two of the Macon's crew died. Twenty officers and 61 enlisted men were picked up from rubber boats and rafts by the life boats of naval ships.

The Macon went to her doom at sunset yesterday off Point Sur, about 100 miles south of here. She was sailing through a' gaile, all motors throbbing perfectly, serving as "eye" for the battle fleet en- jaged in maneuvers on the surface. ETer accident was not witnessed from below, but her SOS'calls sent the fleet ships converging on the spot where she was settling, badly crippled, to the ocean. She sank soon afterward. She followed sister-dirigibles of the American navy to disaster.

The Akron went down off.the'New Jersey coast, April 4, 1933. The Shenandoah went down Sept. 3, 1925, near Caldwell, 0., with the loss.of 14 lives'. The Roma, purchased for the navy but not yet commissioned burned over Hampton roads, in 1922, killing 34. The only naval dirigible surviving is the Los Angeles which is worn out and decommissioned.

The Mncon disaster, following so close on the previous tragedies, was believed to doom further lighter than "air building for the navy and was a severe blow to development of-this type of aircraft Herbert V.

Concord. Report is Made Wylie made his report to Rear Admiral Train, commander of the cruiser, and is was relayed to shore by radio. It fololws: "While off Point Sur on a northerly course, all engines running at standard speed of 63 knots at an altitude of 1250 feet, with the air iqually at times, a casualty occurred about 5:18 p. in the stern period. "I thought the elevator control had been carried away.

The ship took an upward inclination and rose rapidly. I ordered all ballast and fuel slips dropped aft and mid- ship. "We received prompt word the No. 1 gas cell under the fin was gone. We tried to land the ship near crusers off Poit Sur but could not see the surface until shortly before landing.

Ship landed astern first with.no way on at 5:30 p. m. "Discipline was excellent. All hands had alarm in and time to don life The two of the Macon's crew lost were Chief Radio Engineer E. A.
