THE TRANSPORTATION SITUATION

With the first definite step taken yesterday toward resump'
ton of trolley service, the next move in the strike situation is now
up to the Public Service Street Railway Company. The Board
of Utility Commissioners has ordered the Company to resume
forthwith adequate and proper service with court action threat
d if the mandate is not complied with by Friday morning.
What move will be made by the traction company in face
of this drastic action is in doubt, but it may tend to hasten the
aIan-efsetdement being prepared by the Public Service for the
resumption of service. This plan, the details of which were not
given out at the public hearing yesterday, will likely be pre-
sented to the Utility Commission before the threatened court
action is taken on Friday.
AS the transportation situation stands today nothing that
would tend to promise trolley service is shown. Something may
happen over night to upset all plans made for settlement and for
this reason local officials should not become lax in dealing with the
bus transportation system. Complaints are being received by
working men coming to the local industries that the service is not
as good today as when the strike started. The same vigilence should
be exercised at all times to insure efficient and adequate service
for the many who make Perth Amboy their working place and
trading center.

Radio orators, talking into the

"sETTLE IT,

With the parey today n New York between anthracite min
ers and operators and representatives of the United States Coal
Commission, one of President Coolidge's first official acts has
taken form. It was characteristic of the new chief executive to
face without delay the grave problems confronting the nation at
this time. His command "sette it, was typical Of a man who
does not lack courage or experience in dealing with matters Of
this kind.
'settle it, is the keynote of today's coal parley, and an
anxious public echoes back, settle it!' With the chaos OF last
winter still fresh in the minds of the consumers, it is with a feeling
of relief that word comes from Washington that the government
will act to protect the public in the present controversy so long
deadlocked. While the outcome of todays conference is prob
lsmatical, there is feeling, according to latest reports, that some
results will be produced as both the miners and operators see the
handwriting on the wall, as Transcribed from Washington.
Come what may, the firm stand taken by President Coolidge
is sure to be an important factor in today's' deliberations, for the
warning factions fully understand that the President only speaks
for the people in demanding that the mining of coal be continued
without interruption.

A GREATER VICE PRESIDENCY

In the first so years of the nations national history no Presi-
dent died in office but in the 80-odd years since six vice presidents
have succeeded their chiefs. Thus it is apparent that the vice
presidency is becoming increasingly a steppingstone to the higher
honor. A President is given some months between his election
and his induction into office to plan the course he will pursue.
With the exception of the case of President Garfield, who lin
gered some weeks thus giving warning to Vice President Arthur
of the probability of the outcome, all the vice presidents have
been plunged suddenly into unforeseen duties. President Coo
idge only through the courtesy of President Harding occupied a
position different from others in that he was invited to sit at the
cabinet table. This experience has proved of value to him, doubt
less, and may establish a precedent to the followed later.
It would seem not impossible that the vice president have
placed o nhim duties more commensurate with the dignity of the
office than is provided for in the constitution. While presiding
over the senate is a position of honor it is wholly without power
except such as the incumbent may exert personally. 1t is a wait
when the vice president is suddenly shifted to responsibilities for
which his service in the office which he has held has of itself given
him no intimate insight into his new duties. AS the vice presidency
exists it is in no sense a position of understudy to the President
in which is gained a knowledge of the duties of the presidency by
observation near at hand nor Of close connection with the ad-
ADMINISTRATION, ordinarily. There may be obstacles difficult to sur
mount in the way of making the vice president an integral part
Of the administration, but such a result would be desirable both in
the familiarity with status of government affairs to be gained by
such a course and the added dignity of the office.
Instead of being a mere fgurehead the vice president should
be an instrument Of service. If he is fitted to step into the presi
dency in case of death his talents should be utilized in the public
service while his chief is living. In framing the constitution that
fathers may have found it a problem beyond them in providing
fml duties for the vice president that would harmonic with the
prerogatiyes Of the President, but it would be of public bene6t
were be more than an emergency figure

well as the assurance of high prices,
to increase production. American
production jumped twenty points.
Since the "a it has dropped back
but ten. In general, excluding Rus
STA, the same experince has been
noted: that is, that while production
is not SO great as during the war it
is greater than the pre-war produc-
ton.
Russia Now Coming Back
Russia now is coming back strong
ly. Recently a deal was made be-
tween the Soviet and Germany for
fertilizer for Russian wheat fields.
A similar deal was made between
France and Germany. France has
brought a tremendous new wheat
acreage into production, in North
Africa and Canada has enough I'M
cultivated wheat acreage, in addi-
ton to that now worked, to feed the
entire world. European farmers
with chemical fertilizer raise an av-
erage of 80 bushels of wheat to the
acre compared to an American av-
erage of Is bushels. The European
standard of living for the farmer is
lower than the American standard.
Therefore, we have reduced con-
sumption, arising largely from the
war on the one hand, and increased
production, arising from the same
cause, on the other. There is little
wonder that the stock market feels
that the American farmers ~purchas-
ing power promises poorly for some
years to come.
In the way of remedies, the stu
dents of the situation at Washington
suggest a number of things. One is
a high tariff so that our problem
will be wholly domesticated and for
eign wheat need not enter into u
equation at all. Another and ex-
tremely interesting suggestion, now
receiving very serious consideration,
is that the Government build great
store houses and arrange for the
farmers to store their crops. The
value would be advanced to the
farmers as a loan, or the Government
would buy the wheat outright at a
price based on the cost of production
plus a fair profit. This scheme il
predicted partially on the theory
that u period of drought might come
in which the world crop would fall
and a wheat famine ensue. Joseph,
1t will be remembered, stored wheat
during the seven fat years and dur
ing the seven lean years fed the
people of Egypt.
Another plan is to feed wheat TO
livestock, especially hogs. Wheat,
properly mixed with mineral ingre-
dients and soaked, will add from IL
to IA pounds per bushel to the
weight of hogs. With hogs at pres
emit prices, the feeding of even the
best wheat at present prices, is more
profitable than shipping it to flour
mills. The withdrawal from the
wheat market of the wheat tonnage
fed to livestock would also have a
tendency to increase the wheat price,
thus bringing about an adjustment
A further scheme, advocated by
the Department of Agriculture. is
the greater diversif1cation of crops
Let wheat farmers raise more live
stock, more corn or other crops
this diminishing the wheat supply
an expedient which Is bound to in
crease the price.
In all probability all these plant
will be aired in Congress at the mex
session and legislation doubtless will
be proposed intended to carry into
execution some of the schemes.
