Surplus

FRI HE city treasury closed the
Il year with a surplus of $685..
@1 600 in the general fund.
Which is not stylish. SO startled
city officials discuss ways and means
of spending it.
The mayor proposes to spend it
by increasing the pay Of policemen
and firemen so cents day.
Doubtless policemen and firemen
are underpaid in comparison with
employees of private industry. Par.
ticularly as they risk life and limb
in the line of duty.
They are entitled to living wages
Which would be more useful than
hero medals awarded after wall or
q desperate has fallen on them.
But, to increase their pay because
treasury surplus exists is only an
act of expediency. not justice. It's
based on no higher principle than
an Itch to spend surplus.
The inadequacy of police and fire
salaries is no sudden. emergency
Their need was as acute when the
city budget was adopted as now. Yet
It was ignored then.
The city can afford to pay decent
wages. Not by cutting an unex
pected melon, but as a regular
budgetary expenditure. A surplu.
spent for any purpose at the whin
of officials makes a city budget ridi
culous.

Eyesight

ISIS OLIVE d. EDWARDS,
tIMt secretary OF the Heughville
~ Civic League, stated-dn a
letter to the school board-that
seventeen rooms in School 81, 1900
w Walnut St.. were without lights.
The same deplorable condition ex-
lists in many grade school buildings
over the city. More than score
of which are without lighting fix
lures although wired for electricity.
Procrastination is the reason the
board has failed to install the neces-
sary lights. 1t has beeen easier to
let the children strain their eyes
than for the board to strain its in
ertia.
Education is valuable possession.
And should be given to every child.
But eyesight is still more valuable.
The pursuit of knowledge is dan
gerous If conducted In semi-darkness.
Or in the twilight murk OF an I'M
lighted indianapolis schoolroom on
a winter morning when the city
smoke inspector has oversight.
There is already too much defec-
tive vision in evidence. The Nation
is not going blind-as some alarm
lists predict, But 1t is using its eyes
as never before.
Enough eye-strain is thus encoun-
tered unavoidably without bringing
it to school. Where 1t may turn Gay

Enforcement

SSISTANT Federal Prohibi-
II al ton Director r. c. Minton
LII declared the weak point in
dry enforcement in Indiana is now
In State courts.
Court records seem to confirm
this. In 12o liquor cases in Federal
Court last year there were lO7 con-
victionss While only SIT convic-
tons in 1912 cases in State courts.
Squeamishness over technicalities
in State courts is given as the cause
for their lower ratio Of convictions.
But probably the principal cause lies
in the manner of choosing Federal
and State judges.
Federal judges are appointed for
life. And are unswayed by public
opinion. While State judges are
elected by popular vote. While lis
tening to justice they must keep
their eyes on the political barometer!
So where popular sentiment is op-
posed to prohibition State courts in
evitably become colored by their
surroundings. Technicalities creep
into their records instead Of convic-
tons.
The relative merits Of the, two
systems of elevating judges is open
to argument.
But the difference in the two meth
DDS accounts for the disparity in
convictions in liquor cases. Which
will continue until public opinion in
every locality makes it not enforce
ment of the PROHIBITION law
but simply enforcement OF a law.

medicine, and surgery, had all been

In some cases patients have
survived the whatever
its nature--in other cases they have
succumbed. Consequently every heal
ing system points with pride to it's

And no method is uniformly

Probably the State should rigidly
regulate healers who use drugs.
But the person i'll has the right
to say whether his treatment shall

choose his healer accordingly. State
regulation should not interfere with
the exercise of that choice.

Science

Until recently 1t has been believed
that there are certain sections of the
globe where white men cannot live.
This has been thought to be partic.
fularly true of the tropics. It was
thought that some physiological diff
ference between the native and the
white man permitted one to thrive
where the other persisted.
Leaving out the question of how
quickly he can adapt himself to
making living, there Is no reason
why white men cannot live as well
as men Of any other color in the
tropics. This is stated to be the
case by the Australian medical con-
gress. Many tests were made by the
congress, among them being, com
PARSONS of the blood of children
born and bred in the tropics with
those OF the temperate regions. The
congress STATED that the settlement
Of tropical sections by white per-
sons depended upon the application
Of modern methods for public health,
especially sanitation and disease pre-
vention. 1t is pointed out that
many places formerly considered
deadly to whites are now health re-
sorts.

RAILROADS REPORT SMALLER INCOMES LARGER PROM

That Of 1923 Reported
to Commission.

I8QQ Me1n YnrE AZ

E5 ASHINGTON IAN. 1.-THE
NNI first twenty-seven large rail.
49, roads to file their November
financial statements with the Inter.
state Commerce Commission reported
ali aggregate decrease Of $11, 900, 900
In total income as compared with No
vember, 1928. In the face OF this
decrease, the same roads reported
ar aggregate net income If $2.114.-
0p0O larger than during November.
1923.
Nine of these twenty rail
roads had smaller gross incomes DUR
ing the first eleven months of 1924
than during the first eleven months
of 1928 and yet showed decided in
creases in net incomes.
The explanation offered by rail-
road executives for this favorable
trend is simply that of greater eff
flciency in arrangements. Whatever
the cause, the increase iii earnings
during the late months OF 1924 is
bringing many of the railroads very
close to the authorized earnings limit
of 6 per cent permitted under the
Esch-Cummins law.
Make $50 Per Cent
During October, for instance, all
the class one railroads OF the coun-
try had net operating income OF
1927 ,105,0S9, which was at the rate
of $50 per cent on their tentative
valuation. During the correspond.
ing month of 1923 this income ratio
was ass per cent of tentative valu.
alton.
Congress provided in the Esch-
Cummins law that railroads should
be entitled to earn 51s per cent OF
the aggregate value of their property
and in addition granted the railroads
an additional u per cent to be used
in upkeep. Since the adoption of
that law in 1920 only thirty-six rail-
roads have admitted that their net
incomes exceeded per cent OF their
aggregate valuation, and all Of these
have been small companies.
Owing to the fact that during the
early months Of 1924 many Of the
railroads made very poor showings,
the record of net income for the
whole year will not approach that Of
the late months. The estimated net
operating income for all the class
one roads Of the country for the
entire year is 1910. 00O. 600 or 4.S0
per cent Of the tentative valuation
figures. In 1923 the net operating
income was s977,0o.oo0 or 4.47 per
cent of the valuation.
Greatest Month.
It is rather in their predictions for
railroad business IN 1926 than in
contemplation OF past records that
railroad executives are finding their
greatest Joy. Though October, 1924
was the greatest month in railroad
history from the standpoint Of
freight carried, and though that
month saw the establishment OF ten
new traffic records, nearly all rail-
road officials believe that there will
be a number of months in 1925 that
will dwarf the October showing.
If their recent efficiency records
can be maintained, and the predic-
tons Of increased business prove ac-
curate, the -Cummins recapture
clause is expected to yield important
sums from the railroads during 1925
and thus to set in motion Congress
plan for the rehabilitation OF weak
roads at the expense of the strong
ones.
