AN OLD SUBJECT.

The elections in November will
undoubtedly bring into Congress 6
number of radicals. This is indi.
Gated by some extremists who have
won in the primaries over the con-
servative Republicans. The Rail-
way Age calls attention to the fact
that Mr.. Brookhart, nominated to
the Senate by the Republicans of
Iowa, is very radical advocate of
Government ownership Of railways.
1t might seems that this form of
mismanagement of our industrial
affairs had been eliminated by the
experience Of the war. But radical
theories are easy to advocate and
always attract Il certin following.
1t is well enough, therefore, to go
over the facts regarding our own
experience with Government opera
tion of railways during the war, as
the Railway Age does and point out
some of the results.
Government operation invariably
seems to increase the number of
men employed. This is one reason
why the argument appears attrac-
tive to some people. The railways
had 1.703,74S men on their payroll
when the Government took over the
roads in December, 1917. 1t oper-
ated them until the end of Febru-
ary, 1920, and the average number
of men employed in the first three
months of 1920 was 1903, ,524.
When the railroads were taken
over by their owners, an effort to
reduce the number Of unnecessary
employees was inaugurated and con-
tinued. In the first three months
of 1922 the average number Of en-
plOyees had been reduced from L.
993,524 in 1920, to 1,555,737.
The payrolls were corresponding
ly reduced.
The total payroll for the first
three months of 1920 was $685.
616,330. Notwithstanding that
wages had been increased nearly
% per cent, the payroll for the first
three months Of 1922 was reduced
to $61G,406,4
Thus it will be seen that the re-
duction In the number Of employees
since the first quarter Of 1920 is
437,TS7, and the reduction in the
payroll over $179,O0O,O or at |
the rate of abou 100000, 900 a |
month. Heavy decline in traffic
accounts for some of this reduc- |
tion, but experience makes practi-
eally certain that no reductions in
payroll approaching these would |
have been made under Government
control: for instance, in the early |
part Of 1919, under Government |
control. the traffic declined. but the
Of employees continued to
lncraese. i
This is almost always the case,
under Government management. |
where there is no incentive to cut
Both Of these invariably increase.
no matter what the conditions.
The experience Of the public
with Government operation during
the war converted a very great ma
jority of our people to firm opposi.
tion against Government ownership.
But undoubtedly, In the next Con-
gress, the matter win all be thrashed
over again.

Governors and near governors are
treated just like common folks these
days. Governor Allen was one of
four governors arrested in Chicago
for speeding-the chauffeur appeared
In court and paid the fine. Then
when he was In Salina the governor
was held up because. the car in which
he was riding had 1921 license and
Fred Knapp has been fined a dollar

MORE OR LESS POLITICS.

The Salina Union says that the
meeting Of Socialists, Partisan
Leaguers and Democrats which de-
cided to run ID. r. Corghlin of
COncordia for Congress had a long
debate as to the ticket on which he
should file. 1t was finally left to
a committee which decided on the
Republican ticket. 1t does not make
much difference on what ticket he
runs-he will be among the "also
rams" anyhow.

ace of aces at the close of the World war, is very much impressed at the progress of aviation in Europe, espe- cially in France, where the govern ment has created e subsidy to assist commercial aviation.
 Rickenbacker appeared amazed at the progress the French arc making in commercial aviation and at the progress made in establishing air domes and airways at more important points throughout the country. The French government has given a speeding momentum to the chain of airdomes which are springing up in all sections of France.
 However, Rickenbacker expressed confidence that the Tanks would ex- ceed the French speed record of 1s0 miles an hour made last Sunday by Pilot Frednand Lanse in the Deutch air race when they attempt speed in the Pulitzer race to be held near De- troit this month.
 Rickenbacker Is visiting all of tho various plants manufacturing air craft and is making a thorough in- vestigation of the methods which are proving very successful on this con tlnent.
 This week he went to Berlin to view the automobiles on display at the German automobile show. He planned to spend several days at the gigantic exhibition of the latest Ger man creations. He is, it is said. the only American automobile manufac- turer in attendance at the German show.
 At the close of the show he will fly back to Paris with his bride. Mrs. Rickenbacker, when asked if she ob- jected to her husbands afr voyages, smilingly admitted "Not so long as I accompany him on them" And 1t .s very likely that she will spend much time in the air. She even entertains hopes of piloting her own plane in the not too distant future.
 Rickenbacker has been given ova- ton after ovation since his arrival here in Paris, where he is stopping at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. Cablegrams. messages and letters of congratula tions from all parts of the world have been received by the Ricken- packers. Numerous affairs are be- Ing planned for them on their return from Germany and they are due to be among the most popular visitors of the year.

CRUDE RUBBER
 BUYING METHODS
 DIFFERENT NOW

The rapid growth in the produc- tion of rubber on plantations has made the work of buying crude rub Der an altogether different Kind of task from what it was when prac- tieally all rubber was wild" and when scores of varieties were coming in from all parts of the tropics in all sorts of conditions.
 Now about nine-tenths of the crude rubber produced Tn the world is grown on plantations in the Far East under the direction of Europeans. One notable exception is the great plantations of the United States Rub- Der company in Sumatra and Malaga. These are under the direction Of Americans and it is not exaggerating to say that they lead all the planta- tions of the world in the scientific culture of the rubber tree.
 The methods Of preparing crude rubber on the plantations are such as trained business men would use, and the rubber reaches the market clean and in standard forms So that about all rubber merchant need know about rubber today is the vari- ous grades of ribbed and crepe rub ber-the standard forms in which rubber comes from the planta tons and a few grades of Brazilian rub Der. The latter, because of it's high quality, still remains factor in the market. while most of the other wild rubbers have disappeared in compe- tition with the plantation product.
 When wild rubber" dominated the market a buyer had to be expert T ,I IL.
 differentiate between the many va rieties and forms and grades in which crude rubber was offered and particularly to guard against being cheated out of his eye teeth in sharp trades Buying rubber in those days was like the old business of swap ring horses. All sorts of tricks were in vogue and only the shrewdest of merchants had any chance of avoid
