Waste of Human Life

Figures just made public by the
interstate commerce commission
show that 10, 22S persons in the
United States were killed by steam
railroads during last year. The
injured numbered I5S,696. To
these startling totals passengers
contributed siS killed and 1913
injured: employees on or off duty,
,,S22 killed and 1888 injured; /;
other persons, including trespassers,
8, 1913 killed and 10, sos injured.
This roll of killed and injured is,
of course, unnecessarily large. To
what extent the railroads them
selves are to blame for it through
bad management, bad equipment
OF bad service of some sort no table
of statistics can show accurately.
However, it is safe to say that if
railroad service and equipment
were as good everywhere as they
arc under the best conditions OF
management and control compar-
alvely few lives and limbs would be
sacrificed in the course of year
through the fault of the railroads.
This is the same as saying that
room for improvement exists on
practically all raj roads in the
United States.

ever, that at least one half the per.

"A Stitch in Time"

The American traveller who has
occasion to run his automobile over
the splendid roads of Europe, will
note, at intervals along the road
side, men engaged IN breaking up
stones. TO one side of each man
will be pile of stone, broken to
the required size. Nearby will be
another pile, of sand and other
road -mending material; also a
wheelbarrow, shovel and a pick
AK. Occasionally he will come
across a man who is carefully
patrolllng the road and searching
the surface tor the first indication
of wear. Presently, the man will
stop, say opposite some small pool
of water, left by passing shower,
which is to him an indication that
slight decoration of the roadway
has set in at this point. Taking his
pickax, he will carefully break up
the surface of the road and fill In
the depression with some sand and
broken stone, smoothing over the
surface, and leaving the passing
traffic to compact the newly-laid
material.
Now, in these simple operations
our observant tourist will see ex-
cmplifed that system of careful
supervision and constant repair to
which the splendid roads of Europe
owe their always superb condition.
Long experience has taught the
European road-builder that in this
careful, detailed supervision, this
ceaseless viligence, and early detec-
ton and repair of the very first
evidences of dislntegration. lies the
only practical method of maintain
ing heighway in permanently good
condition.
Unfortunately, the wholesale
method of doing things which is
Characteristic of this country, has
led us into methods of road main
tenance which are Numerically op-
posed to those which have been fol-
owed so successfully in Europe
methods which have caued our
throughfares to fall into that state
of chronic disrepair which chracter-

dren, and much larger than the
amount at which the buildings and
endowmcnts of the six hundred
colleges in this country are valued.
1t is twice as large as the amount
lost IN the San Francisco fire, and
three or four times as large as the
combined bonded and floating debts
of all the states of the Union.
The collectors of tins tax on the
farmer are the locust, the liessian
lly, the green leaf louise, and hun
dreds OF other varieties OF bugs,
beetles, grubs and caterpillars.
The farmer knows them and fears
them. AS well as he can, he fights
them by using poisons, which are
often dangerous and always cXpen-
sive. But to prevent the insect tax
gatherers from devouring all that
grows in his field, garden and or
chard, he has To trust mainly to the
weather, TO parasites, to insec,
diseases, and-to birds.
Ii the great usefulness of the in
sectiv orous birds had been realized
earlier, the farmer would have
avoided paying some of this appal-
ling tax, and would have been better
off. Men who have given long
study to the subjccr assert that bird
life Is one of the indispensable bal
ancing forces of nature, and that
the increasing activity of insect
pests has been the natural result OF
the destruction of the birds "a pro-
cess that during the generation has
gone on with lIt,le check.
For this reason, Congress is
strongly urged to enact laws for the
protection Of all game-and song
birds. 1t is argued that since these
birds are nearly all migratory, they
should come rather under the pro.
lection of the national government
than under that OF the dlfferen,
states, some of which have con-
spicuously failed to pass laws need
ed TO save the birds from wholesale
destruction.
One of the chief obstacles IN the
way of such national legislation
has been the fear that by enactlng
1t Congress would infringe upon
the rights of the states.
Although in Eutope bird life has
long been protected by treaty and
international DEGREES, in this country
it has been wantonly sacrificed
with other natural resources. Now
that one result of the waste has been
shown in the stupendous total of
hundreds of millions paid by the
farmers in the form of an insect tax
there is hope that the birds will al
last get the protection they deserve.
