shown a generally declining tendency.
In 1921 the railroads handled about

THE ROAD TO RUIN

Mad spending among individuals has
given way to the practice Of thrift. bor-
dering in some instances on niggardli-
ness. States and cities have yet their
lesson to learn. Taxes are voted glad
~ by men who hardley have the price
of an extra suit of clothes. The idea
has gained a foothold that city must
continue to vote improvements, i'm
provements no matter whether the
money Is available or not, and with
little thought of where 1t is to come
from; and the man who is resolute
enough to oppose bond issue is COM
monty referred to as a tightwad or
mossback, irrespective of his reasons
for refusing to follow the leader.
The Government. itself possesses an
unho1y mania for debt. No matter
whether 1t is a bonus or port, a
postoffice or a special privilege for
senators and representatives, Congress
hasn't the hardwood to put its foot
down. Political preferment and the
question of pacified constituencies
have come to mean more than states
manship. There Is continuous rivalry
between cities and states, each trying
to gouge little more from the pork
barrel than its neighbors. and there
are mighty few Borahs' right or wrong
who have stamina enough to vote their
convictions in the fact of criticism.
Persisted in, this very matter of tax
es is going to bring government to its
knees and smash faith in authority.
1t is folly to assume that the people at
large will find a cure, or that they will
voluntarily apply the brake. Up in
Washington. men are paid to do a
good part of the peoples thinking for
them, and that representative who de-
Ponds on tip from home in order to
do his work is utterly unworthy of the
confidence which he momentarily en-
joys. This is equally true of city,
county, and state officials who, be-
cause they fear defeat, permit them
selves to be prodded into excuses. Up
to certain point, taxes are COM
mendable; past that point-the point
OF civic backbreak,-taxes today are
identically the same as taxes yester-
day. The French Revolution was
nothing but taxes-taxes tearing takers
to pieces.-HoIlands Magazine

BOYS WEEK.

The international association Of
Rotary clubs and the American Legion
VIII combine In observing Boys
Week" which was first brought into
being by the former organization as a
means of helping the young manhood
OF America to become better citizens
Of the future.
The announcement that the Legion
would join the Rotary clubs in spon-
soring boys work in every community
in the country, starting on April 80,
was made by Hanford MacNider ma
tional commander of the Legion, from
his office here. The Legion chief
and Walter w. Strong, secretary of
the Rotary boys work department,
have been in communication and have
worked out q SGT of plans whereby
the two organizations can most ef-
fectiyely conduct the Boys Week
program.
AS formulated these plans place the
Legion in full charge of the observance
of Boys Week in those communities
which are without Rotary clubs. The
ex-service men and the Rotarians will,
however, work together in helping the
youngsters in those places which sup
port a branch of each organization.
Rotarians and Legionaires in all
parts of the country are soliciting the
aid of Industrial and business men,
clergymen and educational authorities
in an effort to make the program
which has been arranged carry into
an many places as possible.
Commander MacNider has forward
ed to each Of the 1000 posts of his
organization a suggested program. 1t
calls for special services in the
churches, a parade in which all the
youngsters would join, special exer-
cises in the schools, boys day in
industry" on which Rotarians and
Legionaires viii visit shop and fac
tories, q day in which the boys will be
taught the rules Of health and safety

BEST RAILWAY ACCIDENT REC.
ORD IN HISTORY.

THE railways in the United States
in the year 1921 made the best accident
record they have ever made in the
thirty -four years since accident sta
tistics have been compiled by the In
terstate Commerce Commission" hays
the Railway Age. Undoubtedly the
record was the best ever made, as it is
not probable that any better record
was made before the statistics began
to be compiled.
"The statistics of accidents in 1921
the commission has just made public
are not quite complete, but they are
near enough SO to indicate beyond any
question what the complete statistics
will show.
THE total number of employees on
duty killed in train or train service
accidents in 1921 was 1906 This was
reduction Of 1,011, or 4s per cent as
compared with 1920. 1t is the smallest
number of employees on duty ever kill
ed in any year for which statistics are
available The number of passengers
killed was 205. This is q reduction
of "A, of 10 1-2 per cent, as compared
with 1920. 1t is the smallest number
Of passengers ever killed in any year
for which statistics are available ex-
cept 1895, 1896 and 1915. The total
number of employees on duty and pas
sengers killed in train and train SER
vice accidents was 1901 as compared
with 2,S36 in 192o-a reduction OF A
per cent and the smallest ever reported
in history. The total number of nom
trespassers'-th is employees, pas
sengers and all other persons having a
right to be on railway property-killed
was 3,1O6 as compared with 1929 In
1920, reduction of over % per cent.
"The foregoing statistics do not in
clude fatalfeies resulting from In
dustrial and other non-train' acci-
dents-that is; accidents occurring In
shops and othe places which were not
due to the operation Of trains. The
number of persons killed in such ac-
cidents in 1920 was 463 and In 1921,
400, q reduction of II per cent.
THE only class of persons the fatal
accidents to which showed an increase
was trespassers The number OF these
persons killed in 1920 was 2,1s6, while
in 1921 1t was 1881, an increase of
IA LIZ per cent.
THE commissions statistics of ac-
cidents for the last fifteen years re-
fleets an increase in the safety of
railway operation in the United Staes
which probably has not been surpassed
and may not have been equalled, in
any other industry in this country, or
on the railways of any other country.
The fatalities on railroads reached
their maximum in 1907. In that year
the total. persons or all classes killed
was 1889. or these 1904 were em-

Mother Goose was a very real per-
son. She lived In England long. long
time ago. She married Widower
OF 16 children. She was SO kind. nat
only to her own children. but to the
youngsters of the neighborhood. that
avery one called her Mother Goose.
or cour-e raising 16 children ought
20 be enough to keep any one busy.
but Mother Goose found time to make
up little rhymes to entertain her farni-
". She made rhymes about all sorts
of things, about everything her chill
aren did. and things that happened.
She made up queer little riddles and
funny little stories IN verse to amuse
them.
One Of her daughters married a
printer. The printer heard all the
dummy little verses which his wife re-
peated to her own children. He de-
cided that they ought to be printed. %
children all over England could have
them. And so the rhymes OF Mother
Goose were made into book, most OF
them just as we hear them to-day.
