calling for the reorganization of
the system"
1t is evident the subject of
government ownership is going
to be pushed forward for dis
cussiOn by radical politicians
and labor leaders in this coun-
try in future months.
Perhaps Senator Norris bill
for partial government owner
ship may be revived and pressed
for consideration. If this should
be the case, the American peO-
pie will not have to rely entirely
upon their own experience with
government operation during
the war as a basis for forming a
conclusion.
Government operation of rail
ways has been tried for years,
and is still being tried, in many
countries. In almost every cOun-
try the results have been sub
stantially similar to what they
are in France. M. Allix offers
the true explanation when he
says: "Such a poor showing is
only attributable to the inherent
defects of all State enterprises. y
The governments may put
capable men in charge of the op-
Grafton of their railways, but
the results are bad because ever
the ablest and strongest mer
cannot permanently defeat the
political influences that are al
ways brought to bear upon gov
ernment business.-The Even

Indictment of former Secre-
tary of the Interior Albert B.
Fall, along with >Doheny and
Sinclair, oil magnetes, charged
with conspiracy and bribery,
will furnish the desired oppor-
tunity for this matter to be de-
cided in a court of justice. These
indictments have been secured
by special attorneys appointed
by President Coolidge to proce-
cute persons following the SEN
sational disclosures concerning
oil leases made before the Sen
ate Investigating Committee.
Thus President Coolidge has
kept his word and the right
course has been followed.
Some skeptical persons have
said that the matter would be
allowed to drop, that nothing
would be done, but the contrary
is true. President Coolidge has
done all that could be done in
such a case.

In most of the Democratic
national conventions the fight
for the nomination has been
prolonged, and many ballots
have been taken. The record
was at the Charleston conven-
tion in 1860 when, after fifty
seven ballots there was an ad-
journment to Baltimore, where
Stephen A. Douglass and John
G.. Breckenridge were nominat-
ed by opposing elements in the
party.
In 1912 it required forty-six
ballots to nominate Wilson, and
four years ago Cox was nomi-
mated at San Francisco on the
forty-fourth ballot. In 1852
Franklin Pierce was selected on
the forty-ninth ballot.
In some respects the Demo-
cratic differences at New York
remind of the Charleston con-
vention, the division being on
sectional lines. The North and
South are arrayed against each
other. Smith, the candidate OF
the clique of Democratic city
bosses, is supported almost en-
tirely by Democrats from state;
that are carried by the Republi
cans, while the delegates from
states controlled by the Demo
Gratis are against the Tamman!
choice. For example, most o
the burlesque Democrats o
Pennsylvania are loudly fo
Smith. And there are some VIII

Our Firemen are now in the
midst of their annual carnival.
The tightness of the money
market and other conditions
has curbed somewhat the free
spending that so. often charac-
terizes these carnivals and the
treasury is showing, so far, a
falling off over previous years.
Perhaps this will all be made up
over The Fourth. Let us hope
so. Our firemen need your sup
port to perfect their equipment
to say nothing of pushing their
plans for a new Fire Hall. Give
the Firemen your support. It's

Grating and financial results of
the railways of France in 1923,
which recently have become
available, show that government
operation is producing in that
country the results that it
usually produces in all coun-
tries" says the Railway Age.
Senator Norris of Nebraska in
troduced a bill during the recent
session of Congress providing
that the government of the
United States should acquire
and operate certain railways in
competition with the private
railways that this country
would still have. The situation
that Senator Norris desires to
create here already exists in
France. There are seven large
railways in France, six of which
are owned and operated by priv
ate companies and one of which,
the estate Railway" is owned
and operated by the French
government"
In the year 1928 each of the
six systems made earnings ex-
ceeding expenses, and their net
operating income aggregated
1872 million francs. On the other
hand, the State Railways oper-
ating expenses were 113 per
cent of-or 13 per cent greater
than-its total earnings, and its
deficit, which the tax payers
must pay, amounted. to about
las million francs.
The private railways continu-
ed to reduce their operating ex'
penses as they have been doing
ever since the war, and, there
fore, increased their net earn
ings.
The State Railway hardly re
duced its operating expenses a
all, the ratio of its expenses t.
its earnings in 1922 having beel
ia per cent and, in 1928, as al
ready stated, 113 per cent.
NJ. Georges Allix, in an articl
in the Paris Revue Politique c

draws the following contract bt
tween the Orleans Railwa.
which is privately operated, an
the State System:
"In extent, in the resource
of the regions they travers
and in the nature of their ira
fic, the Orleans and the Sta
System are very similar; NOR
over they are operated with Il
same competence by personn
of equal capacity. But where
the former (the Orleans) ope
ates with a surplus of 113 m

million over that of 1922, t
latter operates at a loss whi
exceeded 152 million francs
