FuNDs-roR RAILROADS

Director General Hines makes some
suggestions with reference to legis-
ton governing railroad financing
after the railroads have been restor-
ed to private control. He seeks to de-
wise 4 plan whereby xeess earnings
can be taken ri Of and properly
a~pportioned. There seems to exist
In some quarters an impression that
The Way, TO dispose Of the question of
excess earnings Is to abolish such
earnings and to restrict the income Of
the railroads to mch sums only n
win meet all legitimate expenses and
provide \ reasonable return on capt.

aver is frequently left out Of constd-
Grafton by some would-be reformers,
as they deny the propriety Of con-

Just now in 4 discussion Of the possl-
biity of communication between our
newal just now is due to the fact that
the. sending of wireless messages mas
been interrupted by manifestations
whose cause is not understood by the
men Of SCIENCE whip have charge OF
own planet and our neighbors, n
the lay public has taken hand In the
discussion. This is a subject which Is
discussed from time to time. its re-
the operations. No n Of any sclen-
tifc standing asserts that these inter
ruptions are due to causes outside OF
our own planet. The suggestion has
been made as on other occasions that
this is possible, and because there is
recognized the possibility OF such a
thing considerable attention is being
devoted to the subject.
A rather interesting phase of the
subject, one which illustrates how
little we really know concerning the
conditions of life outside of our w
globe, is the fact that n scientific
man rejects entirely the theory that
these or any other signals a come
from the planet Mars. and he holds
that if they do arise outside of our.
own sphere that they come in all
probability from planet Venus. This
opens up a rather new field for spec
ulation because heretofore we have
grown into the habit Of feeling on
exceedingly neighborly terms with
Mars. This scientific man, however,
maintains that the conditions on Mars
are such that it would be practically
impossible for life, as we know it, to
exist there, while the conditions on
Venus are much more favorable. The
whole subject of conditions outside
Of. our own planet rs speculative. We
have heard a great deal about the
canals on Mars. They have been
mapped, diagramed, and observers
believe that they have seen evidence
Of progress Of vegetation along these
lines Of canals from the poles toward
the equator at the appropriate sea
sons. But other observers not only
deny these detkt1s but deny the ex-
istence to show that there are canals
on the planets Or anything resemhl-
ing them. They hold that the pecu-
liar marking which have been des-
cribsd as canals are mere Illusions
due to the refraction Of light. ~
So it goes, and we are left in is-
norance as to what is going on
| around US. However until it is Au.
thoratively established that there Is
no life m the other planet the poRi-
! bility OF such life must be admitted.
II there is life and intelligence we
may take it for granted that there Is
the desire to communicate and with
that desire effort in that direction is
not improbable. Whether or not life
exists. whether or not attempts to
communicate nave been made, are
matters concerning which thus far we
are able only to speculate.

an enterprise which will yield them
no return speculation Of this latter
group will be left out OF considera-
ton. grtr
The possibility of fixing earnings
on a basis which will yield-a just,
staple, income and no more, is not
only difficult but impossible. 1t is
easysenough to say that the railroads
shall not be permitted to carr more
than a designated maximum but it is
not possible 20 to adjust matters that
a specific rate of earning will always
be realized. If that were possible the
subject would resolve itself into what
would amount merely to the borrow
'ins of money at a specific rate of ina
a~terest. tThe investors would be re-
.lievcd of responsibility, and would be
merely in a position Of loaners of
money. In the actual working out
of the subject this is not done. Mon
'ey invested in railroads except as q
temporary loan, is subject to all the
v%isicitudee Of our commercial life.
The business of the institution will
vary. Its expenses can not be. kept
staple and its income, gross and net.
1%uctuates with the varying condi-
tons of the times.
A man invests money in a railroad
for proht. It is a legitimate invest.
ment .ande>he Is Untitled to profit. He
Is subject TO the risk of loss. Very
often he does lose, and lose heavily.
Unless there is before him the .pros-
pect of more than ordinary interest
rates on his investment by reason OF
unusual management and unusual
good fortune he will not the
attendant risk. He will prefer to
loan his money, take his Interest pnd
let others TAXI the risks. In any
workable plan there must be excess
earnings. That il. there must at
times be earnings beyond the amount
hxed as the fair and ordinary return
on the none invested because there
will at other times be lesser earnings
and the excess must be sufficient to
balance the deficiency.
Aside from the details from the
plans subject suggested by MI. Hines,
which are necessarily intricate, a
principle which he advocates 10 that
earnings beyond q designated sum be
divided in such a manner that there
will remain an incentive to the in.
weston Of capital in the enterprise and
yhfch at the> same time will protect
the public interest against the ex.
action Of undue rates. Whatever the
details MAJ be the principle is sound
and it must be adopted in any rail-
road legislation in order to give as.
surance of Satisfactory results.

The wave OF Influenza, which has
been sweeping across the country,
seems to have, passed its crest in
many Of the communities where it
has been most marked. Chicago,
where cases in large numbers were
first reported, reports fewer new
cases Of both influenza and pneu-
monia, although the death rate as
yet remains nearly stationary. This
was! to be expected, as it usually.
takes the disease several days to
reach a crisis, and the deaths now re-
ported are, of course. of patients
whose seizure was reported several
days ago.s with the decrease in the
number Of new cases, a corresponding
decrease in the death = may be.
expected within a day Oh two. Grand
Forks has been fortunate thus far in
having only a small number of cases,
and here, az elsewhere, the disease
has appeared in. much milder form
than last ear.

other things which can't explain as
my heart says but my mouth didn't
help me. What is the best thing can
do for America? The first thing is to
obey American laws to be good
American citizen.
Stories OF struggle and achievement
are briefly and graphically told, of lives
expanding under new and rich oppor-
tunity, of relief at escaping economic and
political oppression, and Of amazement and
gladness in a nation where those "who
would fight for Uncle Sam" know no dis
tinctions. 'There l met many boys from
colleges said the Athenian. Peter Stat

were no difference between me and thcmi

For the true soul of the little book
however, one has to turn back to the
'Foreword" by the Director, Joseph II.

them into New England Puritans or
Western cowboys. America is what it
is, not by reason of what the earlier immi-
grants found here, but by reason Of what
they brought with them. They have never
really blended, but they have developed
the habit of sharing their possessions"
The spirit of true Americanism is" inter-
racial tolerance" and whatever failures
we have made "have come from a local
breakdown of toleration." So along with
the fox-trot and the one-step the new
Americans In Delaware are encouraged To
dance their old folk dances in their.peasant
costumes. Many have come to escape some
social, religious or political ban. "What
