VALUE OF AERIAL POLAR TRIP

There are few if any undertakings that could appeal more 10
imagination or arouse more public interest than the proposed
flight of an airship across the Arctic region, over the North Pole,
and return to civilization. While the enterprise probably would
not be so hazardous to the participants as many an Artlc eXplOra-
ton ventured in sea-going vessels, yet it is such a wide departure
from methods whose possibilities and probabilities have been
demonstrated by experience that it creates the impression or pos
sessing new dangers. The objective is worth while, and, If men
choose to take the risk, they will be accorded unstinted praise
and will be accompanied by all the good wishes of the people OF
the country.
The distance to be traversed is not as great as most people
would believe without having studied the map. In fact, the round
trip, if fairly good luck be had, could be completed in az hours or
less. Nevertheless there are 80 many unknown factors to be con-
sidered, so many conditions unfamiliar to navigatOrs OF the air.
that one need not be accused of pessmism if he regards the chances
of success as exceedingly small. But the venture cannot be a
complete failure. Even though a part or all of the adventurous
explorers fail to return they will at least ascertain some OF the
obstacles to be overcome and will thus assure the success of later
undertakings of the same sort.
Men of the American navy have played a large part in Arctic
Explorations in the past and it is fitting that they should take the
lead in the air voyage now under contemplation.
Fortunately for the cause Of science, recent inventions have
added much to the value of such a tour of exploration and have IN
creased the probability of its success. Not the least of these is
the system of aerial photography developed by an American IN
ventor, Sherman L. Fairchild, whose cameras have been used
series of photographs of the Arctic region will afford highly valu
able material for careful study under the magnifying glass in the
security and comfort of the scientists office, at home, and for the
entertainment and instruction of people who may view them
through the aid of the silver screen.
The American military forces have been pioneers in public
service in time of peace throughout our history. The high credit
they have won in the past will be greatly augmented if they at
tempt this proposed undertaking and make of it even a fair measure
of success.

THE VALUE OF CLEAR THINKING

Never was the value of the ability of the people to think
clearly and independently on big public matters so convincingly
shown as in the present matter Of the decision of the supreme
court in ~invalidating all state warrants because Governor Dixon,
in an honest effort to reduce administrative extravaganza and
hold the states expenditures well within its resources, the same as
would be done by any successful and prudent business man, saw
fit to follow %pTecedents set by the governors of Pennsylvania,
Wyoming, Arizona and California, and pruned down the appro-
priatiOns that he considered excessive.
The appropriation bills were turned over to him by the legis-
latUre at the last minute, and put him in the position of either
he knew there was a constitutional provision making it illegal to
appropriate more money for expenses than was actually being re-
ceived by the state in revenus, or of pruning down, on a percentage
basis, those appropriations which he considered excessive and
thus keep within the legal limits, Just as the governors of the
aforementioned states had done and whose actions had received
the approval of the supreme courts in those states.
If the governor had vetoed the entire grist of appropriation
bills, he would have been called a ~bolshevik, an over-thrower of
the state government and a public official who allowed his political
ambitions to stand in the way of the general prosperity of the
state, and other like o%pprobriOus names and appelations by the
copper and power press.
If he had passed the excessive appropriations as they were
handed to him, he would have been branded as "Montana's most
~monumentaly eXtravagant executive, who is seeking the ruin of
the state and desires it's downfall, by allowing the expenditure of
more state money than the state is receiving in revenue, etc, ETC."
Now, since the showdown by the supreme court, he is branded
as a "lawless, laundering politician" by the big corporation papers.
simply because he exercised the same common sense and good
business Judgment that would be used by any merchant in the
conduct of his own business, in trying to keep the states expendi
lures we'll within it's revenues.
In other words, so far as the governor and his detractors. the
copper and power press, and their affiliated cohorts, are concerned
he is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't" and that con-
ditiOn is going to exist just as long as the people of the state are
willing to permit the press of the state to be owned, controlled
dominated or influenced by the big interests which, like the
tyrants of old, are determined to "rule or ruin"
In all these public matters, in which personal politics and moi
the public good is the "etheopan in the k%inding," the public should
train themselves to think clearly and accurately, and not be
guided or influenced by specious arguments and willy linguistic
twistings of the truth that are only calculated to misinform anc
deceive, and which ought not to be allowed to fool even the Young
est boy or girl in the city grade schools.

HUNTING SAFETY WITH FLINDERS ON

The enormous death toll, and the greater accident list which
mars the path of the progress of the automobile is giving city
fathers and county police authorities a great deal of concern. To
meet the situation all sorts of remedies are being tried, the COM
monest OF which is more drastic speed regulations, more police.
and a more strict enforcement of the speed limit.
But in many cases it is found that all such additional "safe-
guards do not accomplish the result; careessness wrecks a car
just as much when regulated by the police as when no police are
about, and lack of skill causes as many accidents when licensed as
when outlawed.
Authorities are beginning to believe that as far as the crowded
streets OF the cities are concerned, two drastic steps must be taken
the flow of traffic must be controlled either bv a very elaborate
system OF one-way streets, distance control (as on Fifth avenue
New York;, or a boulevard system which eliminates the deadly
crossing; the other step, a real examination and a real standard
OF proficiency to which a driver must attain before being per
mitted to drive.
The drivers examination" in the few places where it exists
is well known to be more or less Of a Joke. A mere ability to Oet
through a half mile of city traffic without a crash will give. in
many places any child OF sixteen a motor drivers license. 1t is
contended that until authorities are willing to make If a sine ous
non to a drivers license that the applicant demonstrate, not luck
in getting through, but genuine and competent skill IN COINS
through traffic easily and sanely, the death toll is likely to con
tinue.

LYNCHING UNPOPULAR IN MONTANA
From Montana Record Herald.


People who believe in law and order and who have urged
suppression of lynching in the United States will be grahfe
note that in 1923 there was a notable falling off in the numte
appeals to lynch law in this country as compared to 1922. 7
year there were but &c such crimes, while in 1922 there v
81. 1t is suggested that the reduction in lynchings was dH
agitation against them and to the migration of colored N
from the South.
If it is true that public denunciatiOn of lynching has cut d
that crime, then the public should increase its efforts to imp
lawbreakers with the social condemnation such acts deserve. L
are people who now and then make the contention that the d
and uncertainties of the law excuse ~lynching in cases Of
heinOus crimes. but the argument is not impressive. It has
the effect, however, to improve the administration Of Grin
law in some states where lynching was most prevalent.
Every effort should be made in the Southern commonwG
where appeal to lynch law has been habitual, to make the G
ton of the criminal law SC effective that there would be no G
whatever for mObs to take vengeance into their hands. Lnl
is one of the bOts on our civilization, and should be wiped
Luckily, while there have been l~ynchings in Montana, the
in this state is strongly toward law and order. All Of til
%lynchings of 1923 occurred in Southern states, except Nilsson
which there was one case.

The Business Outlook for 1924

general situation. Among these was
a marked lack of balance between
wages in different employments and
between prices Of important commodi-
ties.
Notwithstanding such hindrances, it
became evident early in 1923 that pro-
duction in many lines was attaining a
menacing pace. There was wide
spread fear that drastic reaction was
impending instead Of a general de-
preston, however, there followed
gradual recessions in industrial pro-
duction and in prices. And there was
TO occasion for disturbance of the
credit structure.
Subsequently, production and dis
tribution of commodities-with only
moderate changes in the total en-
ployment of labor-haye been main
tanned at levels for the most part above
those for the corresponding and gen
orally prosperous, period last year.
Commodity Prices Steadier
Commodity prices as a whole have
been more stable in 1923 than in I'M
other year since 1915. The rise Of
the department of labor's index Of
wholesale prices above the January
average was 2 per cent, recorded in
March and April. The maximum de-
cline below the January average was
less than 4 per cent, reported in Au-
gust. And the net decline from Janu-
airy to November was 2.5 per cent.
Not only has the general average
Of prices maintained a greater de-
gree Of stability than formerly, but
the spread between the relative aver
ages for the major commodity groups
has been reduced. In January the
spread between the index for raw ma.
terials and that for consumers goods
according to the federal reservs
boards grouping Of the data reported
by the department Of labor, was 1:
points, and between raw materials anS
northumberland goods the spreat
was 81 points. In November the cor
responding differences were 5 and II
points, respectively.
The comparative stability of prise
and their better balance are import
ant factors tending to preserve tn
basis for a continuation Of good bust
ness IN 1924.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1924-01-16

As we enter 1924, a review of de-
velOpments in the year that has just
closed shows that influences making
for stability and even progress re-
main dominant, states the current is-
sue of the Guaranty Survey, published
in New York. Resistance has been
strong against extreme tendencies to-
ward either unwarranted expansion
Dr. unnecessary retrenchment. This
condition gives promise Of a continu-
alton of good business in the coming
year.
Neither a boom nor a general de-
/ preston is in sight, the Survey says.
The outlook is rather for the mainten-
ance of a sound middle course for bust
ness as a whole.
The Political Problem
But the vital question which bust
ness must now face is how far political
influences and activities may affect
it during the coming year. The APP
parently growing tendency to settle
economic problems by political action.
to inject the government into bust
ness fields and to promote class in
terests by organized political effort
at the expense of the general interest
all present a certain menace to bust.
ness progress which cannot be ignored
Important business problems are
before congress for action, and il
these problems are handled from the
viewpoint of political, rather thar
business, considerations, this may vel
affect business prosperity. In the i'm
portant fields of taxation and trans
portation particularly is this true. Tn,
