THE PONY EXPRESS

Memories of the Pony Express are
revived by the horseback ride in re
lays from st. Louis to the coast. We
recall the perils of the men who in
the days far back in the mists car
ried the mail to the outposts of civil
ization.
While the Pony Express has long
been dead as an institution, the same
spirit of service and adventure ami
mates far larger army of men than
were engaged in the pioneer mail
delivery, and they encounter even
greater risks.
Those hardy pioneers have passed,
but today we read in the paper of
some telephone operator, probably a
girl, staying at her post at hotel
fire or in a flood or during a terrific
snow storm that endangered the
lives OF many people in their homes
and on trains and sending the mes

sages at the peril of her own life.
The other day we read of Denver
youth who surrendered his life when
he crawled into a gas main to make
repairs necessitated in the interests
of service and for the safety for a
large number of people. A Wyoming
light and power company employee
was killed on pole when recently
he braved a frightful electric storm
to restore service and save property
of the public.
The linemen of the telephone COM
panies who keep the arteries of COM
munication open, regardless of OBJ
stacles and perils encountered in
mountain and on desert, and even
the motorman, takes many more
chances during lifetime for the
benefit of the public than did the
Pony Express rider.
The spirit of the rider of old has
settled upon the servants of today
and he is equally true to his trust.

FAIR RATES AND WAGES BUT NO
MORE

With farm products selling be-
low cost of production, considering
that increased wages of railroad en-
ployes in like degree increases the
cost of transportation and may ne
cessitate an increase in rates, it is
little short of amazing in view of the
high wages now being paid, that en-
ployes in train and engine service
should be talking more pay with
whispers of strike if not granted.
During federal control the public
had am opportunity to learn some
thing of the wages and working con-
ditions of railroad employees. The
public therefore will understand that
as a class, railroad employees in en-
CINE and train service work less
hours and are paid more than any
other class of workmen.
Needless to say that such demands
will receive little sympathetic support
from the public.
Everybody realizes that for the
common welfare the railroads should
be permitted to earn sufficient
revenue to equal a fair interest on
their value with the margin for adj
ditional facilities proportional to the
constantly increasing public needs.
Everybody is willing that railroad
employees, not alone the "aristo-
Gratis, as engine and trainmen are
frequently called, but all railroad
employees shall receive fair compensa-
ton.
1t was an expression of the pub
lie mind in this respect that Congress
enacted laws and created separate
tribunals for the regulation of both
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion-to determine rates that will
yield fair interest plus margin
for additional facilities; the United
States Railroad Labor Board to de-
-ermine fair wages and working con-
iitions for the employees.
Congress having provided COM
1etent tribunals for the systematic
regulation of rates and wages, the
public expects the railroads and their
employees to submit their differences
o these tribunals and abide by the
esult, and in this connection it is
veil for the railroads and their en-
loyes to understand that this is no
ime for wage increases which have
he effect of further burdening the
ublie.

sUPERpowER SYSTEM

The demand for electric power in
the United States is increasing enor-
mously.
Power plants which a few years ago
seemed adequate for years of future
growth have suddenly become UNI
able to meet the demands, and local
conditions may be such that the only
solution of the problem is intercon-
nection.
The problem would be simple if
this situation had been foreseen, and
the proper standards of transmission
and distribution of electric current
had been provided.
However, the industry is going
ahead at full speed to make up for
lost time. High tension wires are
spreading in all directions from pow
er sources.
The 'Interconneetion" idea is
spreading. Electric power from many
plants is fed into main wires, for
in sections where power
cannot be generated economically,
just as gas and petroleum are fed
into transmission pipes from many
wells.
BY means of this interconneeted |
'superpower" system, it will not be
many years until the whole country
S supplied with electricity adequate
or its light and power need, if not
or heat, drawn from the waterfalls
md coal mines and generated and
transmitted more economically than
las yet been possible.
