ELIMINATING WAR PROFITS

Secretary Baker declared in a speech before the United
States Chamber of Commerce at Atlantic City, yesterday,
that there must be no thought of war profits. Business,
big and little, must be content to serve the country. in
order that democracy may win a victory OF worldwide
significance. Mr.. Baker said:
"The waves breaking along this board walk bring
messages from afar. | seem to hear IN their chords and
strains the cries of drowning children and the means OF
diving mothers, and detect in their watery voices the tales
cf bombs dropped on innocent from the air---of lives
snapped out in the mad battle of a monarch for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
1--WE must answer these cries, and the cries of England,
France and Russia that come to us on the waves. The
waves must carry back our reply-Syes, We free people OF
Europe, we are marching millions strong; our soldiers,
our business, our industries, all we have, is pledged IN this
great burden you have been bearing"
We hope Secretary Baker is right and that the country
will be united in a patriotic desire to give loyal service
without profit. We doubt it because it seems to be a
human attribute for men to seek to profit from the
necessities of those about them. War fortunes have keen
built up in this country very quickly IN the past and IN
the hard-pressed nations of Europe many mllllonalres are
being made while the people about them are suffering
many ~privations and hardships.
1t must be admitted, however, that the government in
this country moved quicky--as quickly at least as the
inertia of congress would permit--and a food dictator,
together with much power vested in the president, may
do much toward restricting the activities of the specu-
lator and gambler.
That drastic measures were necessary is shown by a
compilation of war profits made by "A few large Amer1canI
concerns before Americas entrance into the war---of
course, as long as foreign nations paid the bills nobody
here had a right to protest, but now another OK is peng
gored.
The American Can company earned ~$2,916y339 in 1914,
and in 1916, $7,962,982. The increase, due to the war, was
$5,046, SAB. The war profits of the American Smelling &
Refining company were $13,960,483. A few other war
profits were:
Armour & Co., $12,590,OOO; Bethlehem Steel, $38,003,-
600; Du Pont Powder company, $77,275,900; United States
Steel, $248, 034,962.
1t is to be remembered that the figures are not the total
net profits but merely the excess net profits created by
the war. Thus, for 1914, the total net profits of the Du
Pont Powder company were $~4,831,793 and for 1916,
$50, 107, 693, an increase of ST. 5y900, due to the war.
The Portland Railway, Light & Power company claims
it must have a six cent fare to prevent its losing money.
Is it possible it costs more to operate cars under modern
conditions than when the old horse car systems carried
passengers for five cents? If it loses money at five cents

MEXICAN QUESTION SETTLED

The Mexican Review calls attention to Mexico's return
ing business prosperity. 1t asserts that Notwithstanding
the pessimistic assertions, unfounded in fact, of a portion
of the foreign press regarding conditions in Mexico, the
statistics of commerce published by the United States
furnish ample proof of the rapid restoration of normal
conditions and the growth of prosperity in the Republic.
Recently issued statements of the foreign trade of the
United States for the past four years show the following
regarding its commerce with Mexico:

The Portland Railway, Light & Power company claims
it must have a six cent fare to prevent its losing money.
Is it possible it costs more to operate cars under modern
conditions than when the old horse car systems carried
passengers for five cents? If it loses money at five cents
a fare, how can the jitneys afford to do it? Are the jt-
street cars? If so does it mean the street car must go
and the jitney become the practical solution of city trans
po~rtation? If the jitney can transport passengers the
more cheaply, why? These are just a few of the questions
suggested by the street car c%ompany's demand for in
creased fares.

AS matter of fact the Mexican question seems rapid
ly to be settling itself, which if it works out will vindicate
the policy of the administration at Washington. Our
entrance into the world war had tended to detract atten-
ton from Mexico and the big business interests which
were furnishing funds for any aspiring revolutionist to
operate with, in order to force American intervention,
have evidently other more important matters engrossing
their attention.
Carranzas rule over the republic seems to be peaceful
and generally accepted and order is gradually coming out
of chaos. Villa, the red-blooded hero of the Hearst news
papers, has dropped entirely out of sight. Possibly he
lacks the money with which to employ a competent press
agent.

WAGONETTE LUNCH SERVICE
ON SOUTHERN TRAINS

Coach passengers on a southern
railway wso may not desire a meal
in the dining car are catered to by
"wagonette service" an innovation
that is being given a thorough test.
A small, light and neatly built wa
gonette, of the domestic teawagon
type, with three shelves, is loaded in
the dining car with simple and in
expensive lunch material, and haul
ed or pushed through the coaches by
a white-clad attendant, who serves
passengers in their seats with what
ever they wish. The freight of the
white-enameled wagonette is tempt
ingly displayed and includes sand
wiches, lunch boxes, cold meats,
pies, fruit, milk, and hot coffee and
chocolate in vacuum bottles, with
the necessary crockery and silver
ware.-From the Popular Mechanics

COMBINING CITY AND COUNTY
BY Cutting Expenses There Would Be
More Money to Spend on Public
improvements.

Mayor Campbell of Houston has
started a discussion of q proposal to
combine city and county governments,
and eliminate one set of officers. The
writer advocated that several years
ago, but plans to reduce the expense
Of government were not then as much
in favor as plans to increase it.
There is no sound reason why a
commissioners court and city COM
mission should both be required for
legislative service, nor is there any
apparent need for the double service
of a city and a county police force.
Many other Implications could be sug-
gested equally wasteful.
The city and county of st. Louis
are Identical. New York and London
are under the same single system of
government. So it cannot be urged
that the plan will not fit city.
The truth is that the American sys-
tenn seems to be based on a demand
that provision shall be made for every
man to hold an Office who wants one.
1t has multiplied Offices to a degree
unknown in any other country, and
has, as result, driven the cost of gov
ernment to a figure which exceeds
that Of any other country in the world,
if the military branch is excluded
from the comparison.-Waco (Tex.)

M HELPS
WHEN LAYING OUT A CITY
Proper Planning, by Adding to Its Ap-
pearance, Bound to Bring Desir-
able Financial Results.

Are we laying out, for instance, a
new suburb? Is it not better and more
businesslike, and more likely to pro-
duce adequate financial results if we
determine beforehand which of the
streets are likely to become great traf-
fic thoroughfares and to give them am
pie width Of broad macadam of paved
surface, providing only in the resi-
Dental streets sufficient paved surface
to allow two tradesmen's carts to pass,
and laying down tie remainder in trees
and grass, in a way which will save
the rate-payers large sums and at the
same time make the street or boule-
ward more desirable place in which to
live?
Such instances could be multiplied
a thousandfold. The results, so far of
practical city planning will convince
anyone that the scope, influence and
finance of city planning are so much
a subject for the earnest consideration
Of every man who is good citizen and
loves his city and his fellow citizens,
that none can afford to neglect it. Nay,
more than this, any city which does
neglect this great subject, cannot hope
to continue in these go-ahead days, to
compete with other cities and towns
which are wide awake to take full
advantage of the opportunities for ad-
vancement and betterment which it
prOvides.-Exchange
