HoovER's HORSE SENSE.

Herbert Hoover has done more to bring about peace
between, railway unions and employers and managers
than all other influences together.
Now if he could pull off the war of the proletariat
who imagine they should be allowed to run the rail
roadc by popular vote it would be fine.
The pr%oletariat is an old word for n new economic
force imported from Russia that deals only with the
very largest national public problems.
In spite of being the strongest country in the world
with the best banking system and the best railroad sys-
tenn, we are the worst they say.
Hoover does not agree with them and says Amer
lean railroads are of higher standard, better in methods
and efficiency than any in the world.
Administering affairs in the poverty-stricken pater-
nalistic countries, Hoover naturally does not want gov
eminent ownership, or socialism.
OF course, any crossroads organizer of new prog
ressive parties knows more about transportation in n
minute than a man like Hoover ever did.
When the railroads were run by the railroad men we
had the finest and the fastest service in the world. Po-
htical management has changed this.
Ask any sane man if he thinks any first class rail
road is as well managed as the average political sery-
ice of the public,
In spite of forty-eight state and the interstate com
missions, state and federal laws galore, railroad rates
have not gone up half as fast as taxes.
