transportation tax. 1t is proposed to
cut it in two and to make it effective
by January l, 1922. The t%ransporta-
| ton tax, together with the high rate
| of railroad fare, which has kept pace
in q degree with the exorbitant freight
rates, has been a source of revenue
and also a source of dissatisfaction to
travellers. The expense OF travel by
rail has increased to such an extent
that it has become prohibitive in many
instances. 1t costs now for railroad
fare, sleeping car tickets, meals and
other necessities $500 to make a trip
from coast to coast and return. The
same amount of money will take a
traveller to Europe and return. A few
years ago one could cross the conti
nent for approximately one-half the
cost at the present time.
1t is particularly refreshing to OBJ
serve that the government, like an in.
dividual, can find a way to cut down
expense when it has to do so. Forced

Waste of money and of effort are to be
eliminated. 1t was the conviction of
the people generally that it could be
done, even if the department heads
in the past rolled up deficits every
year. Now the administration is to
practice economy, showing that where
there is a will there can be found a
way. 1t seems that at last something
concrete is going to be done to adjust
matters and to restore public conf.
dence.

PRICE FIXING

Following the conferences between
officials of the department of justice
and the department of commerce, it is
announced that the governments cam.
paign against price fixing by trade
associations will be carried forward
solely with the idea of preventing in
fractions of the law and with a proper
consideration for legitimate business
Assurance is given that nothing will
be done unreasonably to disturb COM
mercial and industrial activity.
The Washington Post thinks that
1t is Of great Importance that the gov
eminent exercise its influence toward
the breaking up of illegal %prIce-fxing
combinations, under whatever guise
they may masquerade, and 1t states
that the revelations Of investigating
committees in New York and else
where revealed the existence of giant
conspiracies to maintain prices at alb
normal levels and to restrict the sup
ply Of these materials. These combi.
nations, it says, were of such magni-
tude and strength as to interfere seri-
ously with the tendency toward normal
prices and conditions, and we're not
only illegal in themselves but dis
tinctly against the public interest.
at is the duty of federal authori-
ties" the Post editorial concludes, ito
break up such practices wherever
found, and that is the object of the
department Of justice in inaugurating
the campaign it has outlined. But it
is not the policy to do anything calcu
lated to brighten legitimate business.
On the contrary, where it is possible
to secure the correction of question
able practices without prosecution this
has been done. There is no disposition
to beat the tom-toms and raise a gen.
eral alarm, but 1t is necessary for the
protection of the public that illegal
combinations be broken up and that
price-fxing conspiracies be done away
with. Lawful business has not cause
to fear the activities of the govern.
ment authorities"

THE HOMECOMING HABIT

Minneapolis Journal-Recent census
returns show that six million families
in this country wi their own homes.
Possibly the number has been in
creased of late by high rents. Many
who would not have thought it pos
sible to own their homes, have been
induced to undertake it by uncertain
tenure and mounting rents.
Uncertainty of residence and lack of
funds to buy or build, make it nece-s
sary for some to rent. But this is less
frequently the case than is generally
imagined. Others hold the confirmed
idea that it does not pay in actual dol
lars and cents to own a home. Taxes.
interest on the investment and upkeep,
they feel, make it a losing game TO
have a domicile in their W right.
Anyone who figures the problem out
in this way has missed the fine secret
of homecoming.
For there is a joy and pride in home
possession that money cannot buy, nor
can these values be written down on
paper. With a stake in the premises,
a new interest develops and lawn and
house and the very trees take on a
fuller and richer meaning.
To be planted firmly in a community
makes for better citizenship. 1t is Civ.
ing a hostage to permanence. Civic
Improvement Is thus translated into
personal terms. Every gain made by
the community becomes an addition
to the home life.
Moreover, there comes to the chill
dren Of a home-owner a heritage of
memory and association not vouch-
safed to those brought up in tenement
or apartment. Children may be incon
scious Of this at the time, but in later
years they will look back to the perma-
nent roof-tree with gratitude and
praise. Its memory will be to them
like a light upon a hill.
Renting Is largely a habit and so is
homecoming, but their social import
Is widely different. The renting habit
tends toward nomadism, imperma.
hence. and Indifferent. carefree citi.
zenship. The homecoming habit tends
to social stability, pride Of residence.
neighborliness and domesticity. Upon
these values in the long run rests the
welfore of the nation.

MAKE U. s. SAFE FOR BABIES

Congress under the urgent pressure
Of the women's organizations OF the
country are giving deserved attention
to the problem OF making the United
States safe for babies. The advocates
for the welfare of mothers and babes
r putting their efforts toward the
passage of the maternity bill which is
now pending. It is a startling fact
that 1t Is eight times safer 10 be a
soldier In the United States army than
to be a baby in the United States.
The mortality rate among babies in
their early years from p~reventable
causes is lamentable in an enlightened
nation like ours. BY adopting the
principles embodied In the proposed
maternity bill. the city of New York

PAY FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS

Baltimore Sun-Food for thought is
furnished by the National Educational
association, at whose convention the
proposal was advanced, that teachers
should be paid on the basis Of prepare.
ton and efficient service, regardless of
he grade in which they teach. A pri.
nary teacher. under this theory, would
eceive as much salary as a high school
eacher, provided she was as well
rained and as capable. This proposal
will be- regarded as revolutionary by
many who are convinced that teache.
RS in primary grades have a far easier
ask than those in high schools and
reed far less preparation for it. But
he trend OF educational practice is
o lay more and more stress on the
Importance of sound instruction m
