COMPARE the finest Oregon apple with wild
~ crab and you have simple parallel of the
folding reGnements Of political and economic inst-
tutions
We found, the apple wild and we tanned it. We
took the seed Of the best fruit and planted again. BY
repanting only the best, protecting the trees from
the insect foes, giving battle to the wrecking worm
VIC have through generation OF trces produced mar
velous fruit
This is not an illogical picture to present in the
consideration of railroads lot Of people think that
we are going to the dogs. Ex-senator Pettigrew Of
South Dakota, one Of our brightest but most pessi,
mstic public men, has recently written Book to tell
how topsy-turvy everything is and that
headed for the bow-wows.
We are going to the bow-wows The good
Senator is wrong. He points to the danger of com
is bringing into life the perfected fruit Of government
control with ultimate government ownership OF the
common carriers of the country When we reach
that good goal going to create out of those
common carriers a revenue which will greatly reduce
tax burden.
1t is pruning process, a program of selection and
development of that which brings promise of the bet
ter until get the best.
We used TO be afraid Of railroad mergers: We used
to pass laws to prevent them. We thought il ter
rble system for small railroads to get together and
organize large system. Now think it fine.
We're encouraging it. The trouble is lot OF fcl-
lows who progrcssiyes in 1889 haven't yet got
the progressive view Of 1922.

they are seldom seriously injured
by cold.
Grapcs.--The grape is one of our
most dependable fruits, the crop
rarely being injured by frost. Grapes
should be planted more extensively

ASKS US. TO AID
ALLEY JEWELLERS
OF WASHINGTON
Rev. J. M. Waldron Urges
Bond Issue to Build
Houses.

Urging the need Of legislation au-
thorizing bond issue TO erect sani-
tary dwellings for thousands Of
alley dwellers, who will be turned
out OF their homes next July under
the terms Of existing Law. Rev. J.
Milton waIdron. president of the
Emergency Housing Association,
yesterday appeared before the Sen
ate District Committee.
Mr.. waldron declared that the. alley
residents are not an idle class ana
are needed in the District as the
trict government employs many of
District government employees many
OF them.
Work Every Day.
They work every day" Mr.. wal
dron said. "and they cannot AFFORD
to lay of a day for rest and they
cannot lay by money to pay for
medical attention because their
wages are 50 small"
"If Congress has the right to turn
the 6liSy oWebefs Ouk OA NhtiT ma
cradle dwellings. IL also has the
right to see to IL that proper homes
are provided that may be rented to
them at a rental within their reach.
and IL Congress has the sense OF
fairness we think IL has, IL win
proceed at once to rid Washington
of its slum districts and make IL
possible for the alley residents TO
move into sanitary, durable and
convenient houses.
VIII Not Raise Taxes.
The honest and fair thing to do
is to close up the alley dwellings
as rapidly as possible and GO au-
thorize the District 20 provide in
suitable places houses. Of -four and
six rooms with ligh:. which the
evicted alley residents can rent az
a rate which would be fair to them
and at the same tirte enable the
District to keep the houses in re-
pair. insured, and to pay interest
and taxes on the money borrowed
and to set aside a sinking fund for
the redemption of the bonds in
twenty-five years.
All this can be done without in
cIeasing the taxes OF she District
a single penny and without vIoist-
ing any law of God or man."
