State Highways

Norfolk News: II Is not custom
ary to put complaining witnesses IN
the jury's box or on the judges
bench. Such a practice would not
ordinarily be conducive to the ends
OF Justice, but 1t certainly would In
sure against fxed verdicts for the
defense.
1t is Just such jury, one made
up in part of the accusers, that is
going to hear the evidence In the In
yestigation OF the state and federal
aid work that has been done In Me-
braska during the last two or three
years. The investigation COMMITTEES
as made up will include some Of the
severest critics of the highway de-
partment. The evidence will be laid
before them and they will listen to
it with no prejudice in favor of the
state authorities.
The personnel OF the committee
is the best answer to those who, be-
fore 1t was named, charged that 1t
would be "whitewash" committee.
The complainants haye every ad-
vantage in the inquiry and unless
they make good they must admit
that their charges were without
foundation.
On the other hand If they do make
good, they will open up the way for
greater improvement In the future.
Whatever the findings, the hearings
will tend to an improvement In pub
lie feeling toward the road program
which has been laid under suspicion
by recent agitation.
Nebraska City Press: The Ne
braska highway system must not be
crippled. Our spasm OF retrencn.
ment, following upon our career OF
luxurious living is likely to prove
fatal if we overlook certain necessi-
ties which people demand as a slght
reward for their tax paying.
And one of these necessities is the
federal aid highway system OF this
commonwealth. Men who are cry
ing for retrenchment would be the
frst to complain if main-traveled
roads were to be neglected. Autonlo-
bilists who are being heavily taxed.
largely without complaint, for the
privilege Of owning and displaying
motor car would have right to
complain il neglect is shown these
highways. Farmers. for whose
transportational benefit these high
ways were built and in whose inter
est they are being maintained
would have a perfect right to OBJECT
if we returned to the old system OF
road building which we outgreW IN
1915. We can do without $l0,00O,-
600 capitol, but Nebraska cannot 90
without highways.
Wayne Herald: If matching DOL
lars with the federal government IN
road building were stopped every
where, no state would lose, and al
money for the purpose could as well
be furnished by state and counties
as by a combination with the United
States treasury. If other states are
going to keep up the practice, re-
ceiving half of its road funds from
the general government, and II Ne
braska, for instance, does not DO 1t,
It looks as though we would. through
the federal process, contribute 70
improvements made elsewhere. II
we refuse and others accept, we help
others while padding our own
canoe.

Senator Hitchcock as a financial

democrats who relied on his past

Chicago's S Ponzis.

Another nest OF sw:ndng adveniurers has
been unearthed in Chicago, and another multi
tude OF poor people find they have been cheated
cut of their savings by INSCRIPTIONS men. II is
an oftrcpeated story, yet one that never becomes
SO familiar telling but that it can be rccounted
All that is needed is a glib tongue good ad-
dress, and total disregard for truth or the
rights of other people, Endowed with these at
tributes, the promoter goes forth to prey and
finds his victims awaiting among the ignorant
men and women who are eager TO stretch their
meager aceumuations into competency by the
magic of speculation. ss...'.. 5...r
One OF the most remarkable characters ever
introduced to American fiction was that of
man who went about from community to com.
munity, setting in motion schemes by which he
deirauded out of their means those who listened
10 his well told yarns. 1t. is a peculiar COM
mentary on the moral fiber of Americans that
this character was so popular that his suppo-
stous adventures were carried through several
series of Stories" in agazine, and finally he
was transferred to the stage and then to the
screen, where millions apparently enjoyed seeing
him succeed with his open dishonesty. Inverted
morality gets appreciation from thoughtless per-
sons. and prospers at the expense of the unwary.
Nebraskans contributed an enormous sum OF
real money to initiate the purses Of adventurers
during the cozy days of the boom. Victims of
the stock statesmen will know better than anyone
how the "back-of-the- yards" people in Chicago
feel now, as they realize their millions of petty
savings, accumulated by hard work and harder
economy, are gone to make holiday for set
OF swindlers. No punishment devised by law
will give back to these losers the hours of toll
represented in those small Sums of money which
each contributed, nor will any amount of
preaching be enough to restore the confidence
now destroyed. Habits of industry and thrift
are discouraged when such things are possible.
The only sure remedy is to spread informa-
ton among the lowly Some effort has been
made in this direction, but not enough When
they can be made to understand that they are
rsking all on anothers man game and with
better than an even chance OF losing ALL they will
hesitate Teach them that legitimate business
does not return the fabulous profits promised;
that safe investment at low rate Of interest
is sounder than the wildcat and that slow ac
emulation is certain to bring happiness,
while sudden acquisition of wealth is for the few
and not for the millions. and the door may be
shut against the Ponzs. Yet the most general Of
all human failings is that of creduity.
