TRAFFIC LAW WILL BE FL.
CORRECTED BY AMEN DMENT

1t will not be necessary to re-publish
the entire traffic law because of the
few mistakes which have been found
in it. p. l.. Weaver stated this morn
ing that the corrections can be made
by amendment, which will make it
necessary for the amendment only to
be published. ."~ s.l'. 49,. 49,.
With the publication of the new or
dinance. and the summary of it given
in the Star-Bulletin. several new sug-
.gesticns for the traffic law have been
made, but it is not likely that they
will be acted on as it is the desire
of the board fer it to stand, so far
as possible. as it passed first reading.
Strong objections have been made to
the section which makes one who has
taken a drink within an hour of par.

made that this is too drastic How,

MAKE GOOD" At SAN FRANCISCO

The report that sugar men had persuaded
The governor TO call off Hawaiis plans for the
1915 exposition is fortunately untrue
Governor Pinkham's feelings with regard to the
fair appropriation, which under the law is con.
trolled by him, were amply stated some weeks
ago in his letter to Chairman ii. i. Wood.

MUNICIPAL DANCE HALLS FOR
CHICAGO ~ -.~.

The city Of Chicago, after long consideration
and careful investigation, has decided that the
municipal dance-hall can he so established and
operated as to be an agency for improvement
among the poorer people who cannot afforl the
polished ballroom indulgences. \ newspaper
clipping from the Windy City says:
Five municipal dance halls will be estab-
lished if plans tentatively announced by Mayor
Harrison are carried out The mayor obtained
report from the municipal reference library
on the success of municipal dance halls in other
cities and he believed the idea could be intro
tluced here to good advantage next winter.
In most of the cities admission is charged to
the municipal dance halls said the mayor, but
incline to the idea of free dance halls as well
as free bathing beaches. Ny scheme would be
to have one on the north side, one on the south
side, one on the northwest side and one on the
southwest side, and possibly one in South Chi
cage. OF course, by charging an admission and
selling soft drinks the enterprise could be made
self-snstaining, but think it would be better
for the city to meet the expense involved. 1t
would not cost great deal
Would You permit the tango to be danced?'
the mayor was asked.
81 think So was the reply. The tango can
be danced as decently as any other dance

THEY DESERVE PRAISE

Not only Directorgeneral DougheTty bat
each member of the various Carnival commit
tees, deserves a vote of thanks from the Cham
her of Commerce. The head of the 1914 Mid
Pacific Carnival did good work. Since the fes-
fiyities ended there have been almost-not quite
the usual number of postmortem criticisms,
most of them useless. In the past Honolulu has
inYariably praised the director of the Carnival

The single presidential term question, as APP

TILE NEW HAVEN REORGANIZATION

a brief felegraplic dispatch announces that
the New Haven railroad system is to be dis
solved This is partially incorrect. The New
Haven railroad system, under the plans pro-
posed by the administration through Attorney
general Mclteynolds and agreedto by President
Howard Elliott and the New Haven directors,
is to remain intact The subsidiary railroad,
steamship and electric lines are to be disposed
Of. The separation of the New Haven railroad
from its various subsidiaries is regarded as the
most notable of Attorney general McReynolds'
achievements under the Sherman law. Many
acute observers believe that he has proved that
no amendment or extension of the Sherman law
is necessary to enable the federal government to
cope with the problem of monopolies and trusts.

Value Of Mineral Products.

The value of the mineral production
of the United States now exceeds 81
500, OO0. 900 a year. according to the
United States Geological Survey.
Though this value falls far below that
of the country's farm products, the
magnitude and scope of our mineral
industry may be best measured by
comparing our own mineral prOduc-
ton with that of other countries, no
n of which a compete with us
In abundance or variety of mineral
resources. The United States mines
nearly 40 per cent of the worlds out
put of coal and produced IS per cent
of the petroleum in 1913. OF the more
essential metals. 40 per cent of the
worlds output of iron ore is raised
from American mines. and the smelt-
ers of the United States furnish the
world with IS per cent of it's copper
and at least 80 per cent of it's lead
and zinc. These are the raw mate

great metallurgical industry. but on
which can be built much more extern

Germany Not Starved Out.

In stating that Germany is not being
starved out" by the cessation of COM
merce, Vice Chancellor Delbruck is
supported by Independent testimony.
Many foods are cheaper in Berlin
than New York. Distress is apparent
ly greater in Vienna, though Austria
Hungary is an agricultural country.
These contrasts are a tribute to Ger.
man efficiency.
In 1895 34.9 per cent of the German
people were still supported by farm
ing; in 1907 only 27.9 per cent. OF late
years Germany has yearly imported
more than a billion marks worth of
cereals. and more than a billion and
a half marks worth of live animals,
butter, eggs, fish, rice and other foods.
More than a billion marks also have
been spent for hides and wool. Net
imports of farm produce have run far
above 81, 200, 900, 900.
Much of this vast deficit can be
made up for a time from storage. In
farm animals, owing to agrarian pro-
lection, Germany is relatively as rich
as Austria-Hungary and will gradual
ly reduce her stock, trusting to re-
place it at the end of the war. But
the main factor in feeding the Ger
man people for the present is govern
ment-directed foresight.
Food substitutes are intelligently
used in Germany. Industrialists out
of work are sent to help gather the
crops. Unpatriotic boarding by pri-
waite persons is prevented by public
vigilance. Plain directions are given
for preventing waste. A centralized
and oligarchic form of government
has it's heavy handicaps. But no one
can deny that in grave emergency it
can do marvels for national preserva.
ton by compelling the cooperation
of its subjects for the common good

this topic. Others think that there is
nothing so important as the compen-
sation law and they think newspapers
should devote all their space and pub
lie speakers all their time to this sub
ject. Then there are many others who
take little interest in any of these
pending questions but consider that
party success is the only thing in the
campaign worth bothering about.
They are wrapped up in the success
of n party, whether it be democrat
ic, republican, progressive or socialist.
There are many people in Montana
with all sorts of sentiments and opin-
Each has his point of view and his
idea of the most important thing in
the campaign will depend upon that
point of view. Newspapers are forced
to give a great deal of space to all
these questions even in times for cam.
paign matter. Some will think too
much space is given to suffrage and
too little to compensation while 9TH
ers will think that too much space
is given to party news and to candi-
dates and too little to consolidation
or some other pending matter.
the fact is that there are too many
important things to be determined in
this campaign and it is practically i'm
possible to discuss them as they
should be discussed before election
day arrives. All the pending ques-
tons are of vital concern to the state
and they should not have been pre-
sented to the people at the same time.
There should be a law limiting to one
or two the matters of Importance to
be placed before the people at a sim
gle election. In this campaign it is
not within the range of possibility to
discuss with thoroughness or with
satisfaction all the pending matters,
nor is it possible for the voters t. be-
come sufficiently versed in the merits
Of both sides of all the pending ques-
tons to feel assurance that they un-
derstand the questions and can cast
their votes intelligently.
