The decline in the freight traffic Of
the railways has continued until the
volume of business being handled has
almost set a new low record for re-
cent years. says the Railway Age.
The total number of cars of freight
loaded in the four weeks ending Jam
uary 20. it points out, was 2.S19, $50.
This was 460, 043 fewer cars than were
loaded in the same weeks of 1920 and
10000 fewer than were loaded in the
same weeks of 1919, altho at that time
the traffic was undergoing the heavy
slump which followed the signing of
the armistice. Last April. when the
switchmen's strike seriously interfered
with transportation, the amount of
freight moved declined to a point
which it was said at the time threat
ened the industrial and financial well
fare of the country. But even last
April. when the effects of the strike
were most felt, the railways novel
slightly more freight than they did IN
January. 1921.

An experiment in sovietism has just
come to an end in Norfolk. Va. A
short time ago the owners of an iron
working shop in Norfolk determined
to go on an open shop" basis. The
International Association of Machin-
lists. a labor organization, financed the
purchase of the works and operated it
on a strictly union basis. 1t is now
going thru bankruptcy proceedings.
The result is but one more illustration
added to a long list showing that any
business is almost certainly doomed to
failure when not directed by a person
or persons trained in business man
agement. Theoretically, workmen
who own an interest in the business
will put forth greater effort and ex-
ercise greater care in maintaining
quantity and quality of output. Blu.

The childrens code commission
with the aid and advice OF leading
welfare workers, has prepared a shear
of bills designed to improve the con-
dition of Kansas childhood, especially
that part of it which is defective OF
neglected. These bills now are before
the welfare committee of the house.
Whatever may be said of the meas
ures separately or collectively, they
mark n step in the right direction
They are based on the long recoS-
nized principle that an ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure. IL
every child born into the world were
properly reared and nourished there
would be little need for jails and
almshouses. When there is nobody
else who can or will perform this
service, it becomes the duty of the
state to take the work in hand, not
only in the interest of good citizen
ship but in the interest of the taxpay-
ers. A dollar spent on the child may
save hundreds now spent on defective
and criminal men and women.

Producers of oranges, lemons. al
monds, olives, walnuts, prunes and
raisins in California always are clam
orins for high tariff on the plea
that they are being bankrupted by the
competition of foreign growers OF
these products. This is the line of
talk heard in Washington. But when
an eastern man goes to the Pacific
coast he is told of the fortunes being
made in the production of these fruits
and nuts and is presented proof in
figures. If the truth could be known,
perhaps it would be found that the
California farmers about hold their
own with the farmers of other sec
