Congress and Aviation.

Now that Congress has made a definite
start toward the establishment OF real
aeronautic service in the army by re-
porting out of committee the Hay Dill
for the addition Of an aeronautic branch
To the Signal Corps, it would be an ex-
cellent plan for il to learn something
of the latest practical developments IN
aeronautics by sending abroad a small
jeint committee to see personally just
what the European nations are doing In
the new art. Probably there are very
few men in Congress who really know
much about aerial navigation. 1t may be
news to most of them. for instance. that
a Frenchman has just captured the
AIichelin trophy for 1913 by a flight of
I3,oO miles in thirty-nine consecutive
days Army officers interested In avia-
tien have discussed the possibility of such
a committee going abroad, and express
the hope that II IL goes ii will be COM
posed of the most steadfast opponents
of aviation in Congress. for when an OPP
ponent of military aeronautics once sees
what is being done abroad they have nc
fear OF his vote in the future.
This country was the cradle of avia-
ton. Tho government has fallen fal
behind European powers in the develop
ment both of aeroplanes and dir gibles
There is no more likelihood that the
United States will develop an aerial mill
tary service comparable in size with tbs
aerial corps in armies abroad than thai
the American regular army will ever be
put on the same footing as European
armies. even with the latter on a peace
basis. But the Hay bill is rational
move in the right direction to give thi.
country the nucleus of a practical aeria
corps.

Motor Making and Prosperity.

Complaints of hard times. tight money
and that sort OF thing may be heard
here and there in business circles. but
there is no indication of slackening In
the motor car industry. At all events
the manufacturers are not curtaiiing
their product or shortening their forces.
Reports have Just been received from
Detroit, which is undeniably the largest
automobile making center In the United
States. indicating that the motor pro-
ducers there anticipate no early failure
Of demand, for they have in most in
stances increased their working forces
materially over last year. Four of them
are now employing 5000 men. as against
22,6OO in November a year ago. an in
crease III working force Of nearly AZ per
cent. In addition, one factory not In ex-
istence in November, 1912. is giving en-
ployment to 200 men. One of the largest
establishments in Detroit has actually
reduced it's force slightly. but this is on
account of improvements in the manu-
featuring processes and the product Of
that plant is estimated at from 40 to
80 per cent larger than it was a year
ago.
The fact that the motor car makers of
the country feel justified In spending
more money for their production, in or
der to meet an expressed and antic pated
increased demand, is factor in aiiaying
fear of serious trouble in the financial
world. The manufacturers of automobiles
must keep thoroughly posted as to pres
ent and prospective conditions, as bank
ruptcy would soon follow overproduction
and congested market. The capital
tied UP in a thousand unstable cars Is
SUFFICIENT to bring almost the strongest
manufacturing corporation into trouble.
and thus no more gratifying sign of in
dustrial health has lately appeared than
this report Of largely increased auto
mobile production.

ownership and management The tele-
phone and the telegraph are unmistaka-
bly, rival means Of long-distance. conf
munication. They can become effective
supplements, but In the main their func-
lions are of a competing character and
no public interest is served by their con-
solidation. Telephone rates and tele-
graph rates have remained practically
unchanged since the merger, whereas 1t
Is conceivable that with the two systems
kept independent and on true competing
basis the tendency of this rivalry would
be to lower the intercity tolls. Whether
such competition can be effected

Clark, has risen to eminence in politics
largely because of his capacity to sway

of Indiana through the influence he had
acquired in that way; and when his
friends appeared at Baltimore last year
asking for the presidential nomination
for him they assured the delegates that
If nominated he would make as stirring
stump campaign as the country had

Economy.

The majority leaders of the House. to
emphasize the question of economy, will
hold a second conference to discuss APP
preparations and probable revenues. If
third becomes advisable, it should be held.
The Speaker and his lieutenants-all
men of experience in legislation-are well
advised of the magnitude and the diff
culties of their task. They have seen
others perform it. They have looked on
sympathetically at times-while a repub-
liean majority wrestled with the problem
of filing Uncle Sans pocketbook for his
daily needs. They know what is re-
quired, and as their time has come TO
nil it they are bordering the subject
anxiously.
But, difficult as the problem is, they
must solve it. Large as the pocketbook
is, it must be filled. Great as the risk Is,
in dealing with a revenue measure whose
producing capacity is as yet unknown, it
must be taken. Time and tide wait on
no man. Nor will Uncle Sam wait on
any Congress. He wants his rations
when he wants them, and must have
them.
Handling a pruning knife calls for skill
and care. The handler should know his
business If he overdoes it he plays
smash If he underdoes it his work is
wasted. No work at all might have been
preferable.
IT NAV be said without disrespect that
if the economy program of the present
session of Congress is arranged largely
with next November's elections in mind,
it will be poorly done Juggling In tnat
way with the support of the government
never wins in the long run. 1t has at
times been done but the doors were in
good season unmasked. and their little
game was brought to the ground.
