PRICE OF GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP

OWNENSHlt
Workers on the Mexican govern
ment railways have agreed to a re-
duction in pay, but reject any re-
duction in the number of employees.
This is one of the prices of gov
eminent ownership. 1t happened on
the Ruhr, when the French took
over the German railroads.
The French administration was
governmental, too, but, being for
eign. was free at least of German
politics.
So it carried more freight more
miles with fewer men. at less cost,
though with higher wages and short
er hours, than the Germans had done.
The same thing is happening to
the German railways generally, now
that they have been transferred
from political to business control.
The one part of the international
settlement of the solvency of Aus
tria, which the Austrian government
has been unable to meet, is suffi-
GENTLY drastic discharge of political
functionaries. Government can. do
justice to its employees; it can (un-
derpay them; it can shackle Their in
red tape-but it can not "fire" them
wholesale.

WHY NOT A
MUSICIAN?
Somebody has suggested Walter
Damrosch as ambassador to Ger
many.
Of course it won't be done, and
Damrosch presumably would not
consider it. But there is something
interesting in the very fact that the
idea strikes most Of US as absurd.
Here is an accomplished gentle
man. linguist, a scholar, leader
of his profession, and man of Co.'S
mopolitan experience, allied by mar
riage with one Of Americas most
distinguished political families, and
with record of loyal service in
the World War-but he is a must
clan. and therefore not to be taken
seriously.
The present ambassador is a glass
manufacturer, but, there is nothing
peculiar about that.
A musician-that's different. When
the Italians made Verdi a senator,
for his opera of "Falstaff,'s we
thought it funny. Really-who was

alleged to be using jack lights in
violation Of the law were apprehend-
ed by them recently. 1t appears that
the wardens had a suspicion that
jack lights were being used in vio-
lation of the law and they made a
special endeavor to investigate with
the result that two parties were ap-
pretended with jack lights in their
possession, which were conf1scated
and are to be forwarded to the de-
partment of inland fisheries and
game.
Detailed report of the prosecution
has not yet come to hand, but the
penalty for using jack lights is very
severe, as the law provides that no
person shall at any time hunt, take,
catch, kill, or destroy any game with
jack light under penalty of 500
and costs for each offence and i'm
prisonment of 60 days.
