eral control. Many of the lines are isolated
and operating between towns in remote parts
of the country. There is no such thing as a
national system of motor bus transportation.
Under such conditions machinery for Federal
regulation would be expensive and wasteful.
Without regulation bus lines exhibit the
same tendencies that were so strikingly illus
trated in the case of railroads few years ago.
Because one passenger or package makes so
little difference in the cost of operation, there
is great temptation to indulge in cut-throat
competition. Such destructive competition
usually ends in an agreement to maintain a
monopoly Without regulation customers are
bound to suffer under such an arrangement 1t
appears that public regulation is an essential
of satisfactory bus line service at reasonable
rates.
To overcome the effects of the Supreme
Court decision denying to the States power to
regulate interstate lines, it is being proposed
that Congress delegate its power to control this
phase of transportation to the various State
utility commissions. That seems to be the only
feasible solution of the difficult problem. 1t
has precedent in the power which Congress
conferred upon the States over interstate ship
ments of liquor moving into what was once
''local option" territory. But even if consti-
tutional such scheme has many possibilities
for confusion and conflict.
In the light of the Supreme Court ruling,
the regulation of interstate bus lines presents
a magnificent dilemma. Almost any move to-
ward a solution has better than an even chance
of being wrong.

Another Path for
Women

m n MINIMUM wage laws are apparently a
wi thing of the past
Some attempt to amend the Constitution in
such legislation will be made in the next Con-
gress, but such attempts, unless backed by over
whelming public sentiment, make little prog
ress.
M Nevertheless there is much in the situation
to cheer Those who have the welfare of wage
earning women at heart. Protective legislation
has been tried and defeated. But there are other
ways of achieving the ends sought
There are, and always have been, a consid
cradle number of persons who believe that the
minimum wage was the wrong path to a right
goal.
In States where it was tried the minimum
wage has tended to become maximum wage
Further, there is some truth in this assertion by
the Supreme Court
cit cannot be shown that well-paid women
safeguard their morals more carefully than
those who are poorly paid. Morality rests upon
other considerations than wages.
No distinction can be made between those
who work for wages and those who do not nor
is there ground for distinction between men
and women, for certainly if women require a
minimum wage to preserve their morals, men
require it to preserve their honesty
If minimum wage for men were to be pro-
posed, terrific clamor of opposition would
Instantly arise; and two-thirds of the clamor
would come from the working men,
Men have found by years of experience
that satisfactory wages are obtained not by
legislation but by organization Women newer
in the industrial world, have not yet learned
this lesson.
Deprived of their protective" laws,
women must sooner or later turn to organiza-
ton for their protection. The path toward this
achievement may be hard one Results worth
having are usually achieved only after diff
ficulty. Yet in the end, if they succeed, the
women cannot fail to benefit

SLIP KNOTS

AST year the marriage

III clined, according to Stats
tistics compiled by United States
Department of Commerce. Mar

bered 40.971. while in 1924 there

But comparing the two years.
divorces-according to the report
more than held its own. In
1923 one divorce to every six and
one-half marriages; in 1924 one to
every five marriages.
There's record for sociologists
to view with alarm. The ratio
of divorces to marriages in Ma
rion County for the two years will
give them additional quivers.
Here in 1928 and 1924 there was
approximately one divorce for ev-
cry three marriages.
Truly in the Hoosier capital
matrimonial knots seem to be slip
knots.
The large and growing number
OF divorces in this country worry

ties. The divorce evil, they say, is
wrecking American standards Of
morality, the homes, and will
smash American civilization. I'm
less 1t is checked, the more lugu
brious say, another generation or
so will see our national morals
no better than those of the har-
lot and white-slaver.
Certainly the country's divorce
record is not cheering; too many
matrimonial banks founder from
trivial causes. such as burned hot
cakes, snoring or an Easter hat.
But only a small percentage of
divorces are sought for such
trivial reasons.
= over so per cent of Indiana's
divorces are obtained by wives.
Cruelty, failure to provide, aban-
donment and drunkenness are
the principal grounds. Who will
say that wife isn't entitled to
freedom from the marital yoke
for any Of those causes?
Probably there is just as much
conjugal happiness in the country
as ever. only less disposition to
martyrdom in intoleratble unions.
Wives no longer suffer in silent
abuse and mistreatment. They
have decided they are human be-
ings with some personal rights,
not doormats.
