TOO MANY RAILROAD MEN?

The chief for high freight rates, says Roger
Babson is the employment of too many by the
railroads and the consequent swelling of the payrols
He thinks the railroads could get along just we'll,
handling the volume of business effectively,
with 20 per cent less help Transportation experts,
says the statiscian, back him up in this conclusion.
He does not blame the railroads for it, but blames
the Interstate Commerce Commission Congress, the
state legislatures and the railroad labor unions all of
which combine to make the employment of many
men compulsory
1t is by means the first time this charge has
been made. When freight rates vital, especially
to the farming population the subject is worth looking
into open-mindedly
The rules requiring the employment of many
men were intended to promote public safety and well
fare along with the safety and welfare of the railroad
employees themselves. 1t they are unreasonable and
excessive the public ought to know about it and insist
on action accordingly.
Not only should all justfiable steps be taken to
reduce railroad expenses and thereby reduce freight
rates. but in time of growing labor shortage and di
minished supply of foreign labor hands should be
wasted, railroads, in coal mines, in factories or
anywhere else. 1t should be possible to substitute
chanical devices for to everncreasng extent,
on the railroad in other industries And the
tinued employment of superfluous hands will do
the employees themselves any permanent good, in any
industry.

The natural period Of childhood is lengthening,
along with the proongation of life whole. Rec

Here is increase of 4G per cent in the length
of life since 1850 The increase of course, has not all
been added to middle age old age. Youth has had
its share of the gain 1t is stretching out of life all
the way from birth to deathThus it might be agreed
that child OF IS today represents child of Is two
generations ago And while this may not be precisely
true there is enough truth in it for practical purposes

"Hum! He must be talking to

Uncle Wiggiiy hoped up from
the bank of the brook, with the
flowers freshened from their bath
in the water, and, just as the rab-
bit was going to hop on to school,
out from the bushes stepped the
Bushy Bear.
"Ho! Ho!" growled the Bear.

"No! No! You are going to stop

The little guinea pig boy arose
from the log. Suddenly he opened

the bug, pinching the bad chap on

However, Buddy didn' tell Uncle
Wiggily what was in the box, eX-

hardly enough for baby mosqui-

went on. to school a little while
ago, is taking Buddy's lunch with
her.
Then, thinking no more about it,
Uncle Uiggily hoped along with
Buddy until they reached n flat
stump near where some beautiful
flowers nodded their heads in the
breeze.
"Let's stop here minute and

Oh, no! Excuse me! T forgot.
Guinea pigs haven any tail so

would have wagged it for he felt

NO LOANS EXCEPT FOR PEACE

It is evident that if America is to lend Europe
any money, it will be not for mlitarsm
but for peaceful reconstruction and that
will have to be given to this effect Such policy was
limited at by President Coolidge in recent address. 1t
is the general view of American bankers through whom
any loans will be made, and the investing public
that will furnish the money.
j. p Morgan, now in, France. is said to have given
European bankers and statesmen pointed suggestion
along this ine in connection with the proposed loan
to Germany. The Dawes plan is acknowledged to re-
present the most constructive program presented
since the long reparaon squabbe began between Ger
many and the Allies. Mr.. Morgan wants substantial
agreement that program with guarantees based on
It, before giving any of his cooperation III the
desired loan. With such precautions, the loan could
be regarded reasonably safe.
More substantial help might possibly be given the
Allies in the form of partial remission of their heavy
Indebtedness to this country if they were to stop their
military expenditures, cut their armies and embark on
convincing peace program. That is to say, the United
States, part of world disarmament policy, might
be willing to subsdize peace to extent thus add
ing to the saving that heavily armed nations might
make through curtailing their expenditures for
armament.
This is not at all idea, at Washington or in
the American press, though Europe far has paid
little attention to it. America could make such
sacrifice without real loss because Of the big cut it
would enable government to make in its own mil
tary expenses and because it would improve chances
of collecting the balance of our European loans
