Plea
William Nick. Clayton Points
Out Companies Already 20 II
for Own Convenience.

Sale Of three street-car tokens
for 20 cents, in addition to the
six-for-forty and fifteen-for-a-
dollar arrangements, viii be dis
cussed at the Public Utilities
Commissions weekly meeting to-
morrow.
Public Hearing Probable.
Engineer Commissioner j. Frank
lin Bell stated today that connid-
Grafton would be given to the let
ter Of William Mex. Clayton. chair
man Of the public utilities commit
tee of the Federation Of Citizens
Association, received by the commas
sion today, in which the request ss
made.
Major Bell stated that the public
demand for this change in token
sales must be proven to the salts
faction OF the utilities board The
meeting tomorrow probably will set
date on which Mr. Clayton and
other interested citizens will be
given public hearing in this CON
nection.
The street railway companies
win, of course, be represented at
this hearing. They are expected
to oppose the proposition on the
ground that buying tokens in less
numbers than at present win cause
slower loading and further con
gestion.
Action Is Requested
Speaking for the federation, Mr.
Clayton called upon the utilities
board to modify the order under
which the street car companies sell
six tokens for 40 cents to the extent
suggested
The companies construe said
order as permitting them to sell
fifteen tokens for ST., and do 90.
the letter stated, 'sbut refuse to sell
the minimum number possible uil-
der the present token rate Of fare.
Mr.. Clayton says the. request was
called to the commission s atten-
ton informally, shortly utter the
token order became effective, and
the commission NOTED that It
would take the matter under Ob-
servation and closely watch the
operation of the order before de-
Gliding"
Watchful Waiting Plan.
THE 'watchful waiting policy of
| the National Government having

of Mexico observes Clayton, ''may
we now hope that the same policy
of the honorable commission so faith
fully pursued in lesser degree in this
matter may now result in affording
relief to a class OF our riders clear.

THE WORLD AND

THE FLAPPER
Some say the worlds gone crazy.
Shilmmying wild and free;
P'r'aps the old girls been lazy,
And now she's ON Q spree.
They blame IL on the fIapper,
Because she's frank and free:
In Jail they'd like to clap her,
To learn humility.
They pity poor old Adam
oh! how he did atone;
Don't blame it all on madam.
For she was made Of bone.
Don't blame poor Eva's daughter,
'Tis neither right NOR just,
Don't bring her forth to slaughter,
For him who's made Of dust.
For when he ate the apple,
He did IL like q sap;
Turn'd all the world to Ocrapple,
And blamed IL on his nap.
So let the world keep swinging.
And let the flapperO flap;
Too soon we'll all be winglng
To realms beyond this map.

Value of Valuations.


Representative Wood of Indiana
A request was made for an increase
of $280,000 for the valuation of the
railroads of the United States. To
me this valuation business presents a
very dubious aspect. believe that
under the present arrangement it will
soon terminate so far as ii is possible
for it to terminate. But in passing
it is worth while to have a little re-
sumo Of what this thing has cost the
United States Government. 1t was
started in 1918 when it was estimated
by those who were appearing in favor
of the proposition that at the outside
it would cost the United States Gov
eminent not to exceed $5,000,000. A
little more than nine years have
passed since the commencement of
this valuation and it is not yet COM
plete, but ii has cost the Government
$23,675,000. The appropriation made
this year for the completion of this
work is S1,000,000. The gentlemen
who are Immediately connected with
it claim that 1T can not be accom-
plished for that amount, and they
asked for an additional appropria-
ton of $280,000 with a promise of
by July |, 1924.--Congres-
sional Record.

HERE'S WHAT
EDITOR THINKS
OF PROPAGANDA

For an understanding of propa-
ganda and its insidious' effect on
newspaper work it is not necessary
to go outside of the newspaper field
itself. There are plenty of news
papermen who know the danger and
hate the propagandist's methods,
even though sometimes sympathizing
with his cause.'
Irving Brant, in charge of the edi-
torial page of the st. Louis Star,
has just been writing some biting
criticisms of propaganda methods,
published also in the Editor and Pub
Usher.
He sees the newspapers losing their
initiative, their instinct for independ-
emit search and their resistance to
partisan views.
He blames lack of devotion to
truth" ON the part of newspapers
themselves, and "the rule of news
papers from the business office"
He finds the "press agent" pretty
much discredited, but he finds the big
publicity games flourishing--the big
ger they are the more they usurp the
newspapers function of digging up
the truth on its own account.
Here are some questions that Mr..
Brant asked of American newspapers
by way of showing specifically where
they have given way to propaganda
What did the newspapers of
America do to ascertain the facts
about the American occupation of
Haiti and San Domingo?
What investigation did they
make of the charges affecting
Gov. Reilly, of Porto Rico?
How many of the conclusions
Of the lnterchurch World Move
ment on the causes of the steel
strike were based on information
that had at any time been Sc
cured by the newspapers?
What information have the
newspapers given the people
about the revolutionary change
in the English courts, to study
which Chief Justice Taft went to
England? Gas an indication of
what might be disclosed, consid-
judges in all of England and
Wales, while there are over 5000
in the United States)."
Of course the answer is that they
did nothing in any of these cases. 1t
would be just as easy to enumerate
dozen more cases of outstanding
Importance as to enumerate the four
to which Mr.. Brant has called atten-
ton.
For example, what investigation
did they make of the facts in the
coal strike or the railroad strike I?
What investigation did they make in
the case of the Boston police strike ?
What facts did they establish as to
the operation of the Kansas Court

THE SOVIET ALIBI.

The Communists, the Bolsheviki,
the Red International? Damnable.
But the Soviet? A different thing
altogether"
This is the alibi the Soyiets have
actually succeeded in putting over on
large part of the American public.
Not even the most fanatical of the
Soviets, not even the blindest of the
advocates of American recognition
can any longer defend the daily roll
OF crimes, villifications, and false
hoods of the Communists in Russia
and other countries.
But every now and then some
Soviet leader or defender stands up
and with straight face declares
that there is no connection between
the Communist Party and the So
called Soviet Government-which no
Communist for years has denied is
anything more nor less than the
dictatorship of the Communist Party.
Here is what the official Bolshevist
organ, izvestia says about it mo.
252, November 7th, 1929;
"The close organic and spiritual
connection between the Soviet Repub-
lie, the. product of the October revo-
luton, and the Communist Interna-
tional cannot be doubted. And even
If this connection had not been ad-
mitted many times by both sides, il
would be clear to everybody as an
established fact. This is well under
stood both by ourselves and by our
enemies.
"In his concluding speech at the
fourth session of the Central Execu-
tive Committee, Comrade Kalinin re-
marked that in summing up the
power welded by the Third Inter-
national, the Soviet Federation was
an item of tremendous Importance,
and that the laborers and peasants
of the Soviet Republics were one of
the huger forces constituting the
Communist International
This is a great truth.
'The mutual solidarity of the So
Wet Republics and the Communist
international is an accomplished fact
of everyday reality. In the same de-
gree as the existence and the stabil-
lty of Soviet Russia are of import
ance to the Third lnternational-the
Strengthening and the development OF
the Communist International is of
great moment to Soviet Russia. In
the past the international has helped
Russia to beat off the attacks of
world capital. In the future its as
sistance will be still more effective
Any success attained by the Commun-
list International will strengthen the
political and economic position of
Soviet Russia, and vice versa. The
spiritual, moral, and material connec-
ton between these two undertakings
is based on complete community of
interests
Why then does this absurd story
that there is no connection between
Soviets and Communists continue to
circulate?
The reason is obvious. No human
being of any morality or intelligence
could stand for the recognition of a
government of the criminal and dis
credited COMMUNISTS or Bolshevists
If they are to be recognized they
must be known exclusively as Soviets
and the advocates of recognition must
pretend to believe there is no con-
nectioni

THE WAY TO RETIREMENT

The great foundation of progress,
safety, stability and democracy in
America today is the trade union
movement.
The trade union movement wants
to help in the development of a bet
ter America. 1t is constructive be-
cause only through constructive policy
can its ideals be realized.
In every negotiation between work
ers and employers the workers are
seeking to improve America. Each
organization is seeking to improve
its part of America.
That which employers sometimes
view as hostility and enmity is hos
tility only to that which is bad and
undesirable.
If employers will accept the full
cooperation of the organized labor
movement they will find a wealth of
