RESULTS BEGIN TO APPEAR

f The economic experts are right in their contention that the fuau-
cal integrity of the railroads is a necessary condition precedent Ia
. business revival, we are in sight of better times.
Less than six months ago the railroad net earning figure, taken
as a whole, certainly gave color to the dire predictions of general
railroad bankruptcy.
But the figures today tell am entirely different story.
In July the railway net earnings in the average showed AN in
crease of 30 per cent over May and June This, Notwithstanding the
fact that there was little increase in traffic aud no increase in rates.
The better showing is altogether charscable TO economy in ope-
ration.
This much nnst be allowed TO private railrodd management; II

government ownership; and 10 undo the damage done 10 organiza-
ton, efficiency aud morale. Private management, under very diff.

will we have lower freight rates and revived business. The need for

Of the way toward redeeming their pledge IN the last campaign, 10

The transportation taxes, freight, passenger and express, are to

Al the same time the crushing ta<es heretofore levied upon bus
mess, under which efficiency and industry and production were pen
aixed, are 70 be supplanted by a fiat tax, which business can under
stand and figure on in estimating its future.
The republican leadership in congress. under the active leader
ship Of the president, has shown the oldtime American ability to take
hold Of 4 big problem and work Il opt without unnecessary delay
without fear Of partisan criticism and with the courage to do the
right thing in the face OF such criticism.
IL is extremely fortunate both for the republican party and the
country that The effort 10 devise a lot Of new taxes and to shift and
juggle others was abandoned in favor OF the program that the people
wanted and the country needed; namely, a drastic reduction OF gov
eminent expenditures, which would permit reductions all along the
line. The reduction Of six hundred million dollars in the nations tax
bill will help everybody. A The Herald 5 headline said, 'everybodys
tax burden win take a tumble The charge that the republicans are
relieving business. big business, and leaving the MASSES of the people
unaided, has been disproven.
Pretty much everybody has come to recognize the unwisdom Of
the excess profits tax and The high surtaxes, which operated to drive
capital out of the industrial and transportation fields Of investments,
into hiding in tax free bonds. business may grumble som at the Tat
income tax levied upon corporations. but it viii at least know where
il stands and what to expect and nothing will do more 10 bring about
a speedy return to business a usual
II Is impossible, of course, to devise a program of taxation that
will satisfy everybody. But in the program that appears to have
heen agreed upon, an overwhelming majority Of the people viii find
satisfaction, because all Of us will have tangible evidence of the relief
il will AFFORD.
Up to this time President Hardng's administration has kept the
fnith. Partisan criticism Of lis acts there will be, ss a matter Of
course, but with the progress that is being made it will be an ex
frenely difficult matter TO make much Of that criticism stick. An
administration that proposes to save the taxpayers OF the United
States six hundred millions Of dollars, and to do it in the first year of
lis service. not by transferring this burden elsewhere but by a sweep
ing plan Of government economy, is making good.

Six million years ago the dinosaurs roamed the valley Of the Con.

Fossil dinosaurs are found frequently in the far west. II they
strayed there from the east how did they cross the marShlined open

These questions are causing a group of curious scientists TO spend

Idiggers." They are really history diggers.
For instance, this much has been discovered about the mystery
of the disappearance of the dinosnur:
The skeleton of a gorgosarus giant prehistoric beast, was dug
mp IN Alberta, CANADIAN province. It's mounted in the American
Museum Of Natural History.
Bit by bit the scientists have learned that occasionally duck.
billed dinosaurs strayed from the banks of rivers where they hid.
The gorgosarus, chasing on four legs, could not catch the dinosaurs
for food.
MI. GOrgosarus was %stupid-but intelligent enough to learn that
he could run faster ON his hind legs. Thus he caught his prey. From
then ON, the dnosanr was doomed.
Then came man. Hunted by huge beasts such ms the qorposanrus

Probably he hit the beast with a stone, and saw that il made no

you two things;
FIRST; The power of brain, of the inteIlect's supremacy over
the brute physical.
SECOND; There is a solution for every problem encountered
by man, including yourself. No problem is too big for you TO master.

IRISH MOVE
FAILS AGAIN

Lloyd Georges effort to arrive at
friendly solution of the Irish trouble
by inviting De Valera and an associ-
ate to confer In London with him and
with Sir James Craig, premier of u
ster, appears to have failed as have
all other attempts to settle the row.
Craig agreed to the conference, but De
Valera has baked. At first the Irish
president" wrote to Lloyd George
temporizing letter, and invited Craig
to meet him in Dublin for an exchange
of views. Craig declined, and De
Valera wrote him: mfr. Lloyd
Georges proposal, because of its i'm
plications, is impossible of acceptance
in its present form. Irish political
differences should be adjusted and
can, l believe, be adjusted on Irish
soil. 1t is obvious that in negotiating
peace with Great Britain the Irish del
egation ought not to be divided, but
should act as a unit on some common
principle"
A London newspaper says the au-
thorities have discovered and frus-
trated a plot to murder the British
cabinet ministers. 1t says the police
are seeking three men sent to Lon
don to do the assassinating. They
are French medical student an Irish
man from the western part of the
United States and a Spaniard. The
same paper declares the forces of the
Royal Irish constabulary are to be
uuadrupled at orcA.
