Investigation Demanded

m HERE is an imperative call for Govern
~ ment investigation of the financial col
lapse of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railroad.
Here is a great ranscontinenta system
serving the needs of an empire within the
United States. What will result from the re-
ownership into which certain financial inter
csts have thrown it? Will the system event
ually emerge more heavily burdened than ever
under financing charges, but with all the
widows and orphans, - the thousands of small
stockholders, squeezed out of their investment
Will shippers be required to pay the freight
Immediately after the receivership was an
nounced, excuses for the roads financial con
dition were forthcoming. First, the Govern
ment was blamed. Too much regulation, said
the banker railroaders. That excuse did not 60
down well, in view of the growth and prosper
iy of other railroads during the same period.
Then the electrifcation of the Puget Sound
extension, an engineering feat that attracted
the attention of the world, was blamed. Now
comes an official of the road saying it can be
shown that returns on this expenditure have
justified it.
1t has become known that last October
representatives of the railroad discussed plans
with the Interstate Commerce Commission
whereby the receivership could have been
avoided and that the commission stood ready
to aid the railroad in the manner necessary.
The plan was not carried through and then
five days after Congress adiourned-the re-
ownership suddenly was announced. Some in
terosted persons think there was a reason for
waiting until Congress adjourned. In any
case, Congress can not act until it meets next
December. The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion can.
The country should support the demand
of the small stockholders that such an in
vestigation be made.

FINES FOR
GUN-TOTERS
BY GAYLORD NELSON

M WO men we're fined 5000

concealed weapons. When arrested
in Military Park one had a piece
OF lead pipe in his pocket and the
other a revolver.
a speeder, according to the fine
scale established by city court,
would have TO travel 200 miles an
hour TO draw a 5000 fine.
So perhaps the fines in this
case seem unduly rigorous. The
two offenders weren't caught
numbering inoffensive citizens.
For the moment they were as
peaceful as a couple Of strolling
divinity students.
But banditry and murder -four

carrying of weapons.
So serious has gun.toting be-

Restricting the sale OF weapons
will somewhat curb the nuisance.
But only in part. The heaviest

authority whether in the act Of
committing a crime or not. will
more effectually fatten the crime

the tariff commission. He is a Republican, from
Kansas, where the sugar interests do not seem
to exert much influence. He joined with others
jority in favor of reducing the tariff on sugar
and so to bring the price down. That was
nearly a year ago. The commissions recon-
mendation has been in President Coolidge's
hands ever since. No action has been taken.
But there have been reports and rumors
continually about Mr.. Culbertson. He was to
be appointed ambassador to Mexico, he was
to have an important South American post, he
was to receive this honor and that. Through
it all it was clear that somebody was de-
termined that he should not continue to be a
member of the tariff commission.
Now he is out. Let sugar soar!

NJ USIC IN

ties. 1t Is a necessity. In In
diana a person who doesn't pos
sess a speaking acquaintance with
the game is popularity considered
to lack the rudiments of culture.
But why devote so much time to
music?
Music isn't practical like arith-
metic. geography and other essen.
tial subjects taught in the public
schools. 1t Is just a cultural flour
ish. A person may rise to emf
hence who thinks Caruso was a
race horse and the diatonic scale
something on which to weigh coal.
But since the morning stars
sang together, the influence of
music has been felt in the world.
1t expresses all the emotions Of
humanity from the beginning-all
the faith, hopes. fears, Joys. sor-
rows. loves and hates. It speaks
the universal language-though
when using the saxophone It gasps
automatically and mumbles.
Without music IT would be a
dull, drab world. The radio would
go out of business. monographs
would be stilled, neighbors would
sleep-and life just wouldn't be
worth living.
AS long as music is such an i'm
portant factor in life. probably the
public schools should devote as
much time to 1t as to some purely
unitarian branches of the tree
Of knowledge.

Wheeler and the
American People

F1VERY American who loves fair play and
I'll d~ecency-most every American, in other
words-will rejoice in the quick acquittal given
Senator Burton X. Wheeler by the Federal
Court in Montana last night. Every American
who likes to think his government represents
the average of American fair play and de
cency will insist that this persecution of the
man who uncovered conditions in the depart
ment of Justice shall now come to an end.
Senator Wheeler was indicted in the very
midst Of the investigation that finally resulted
in the removal Of Harry NJ. Daugherty.
There never was any doubt that his indlct-
ment was brought about to discredit that inves-
t~igation. When it failed of it's purpose and
Daugherty was removed there was every reason
to expect that Daugherty's successor would
cause the proceedings to drop.
They had been started by a political en-
ploye who frankly said he had been sent to
Montana to "get Wheeler" Attorney General
Stone caused it to be very generally under
stood that he proposed to call off the dogs.
But he did not. Something or some one i'm
PEELED him to drag the Administration in even
deeper. It was during his brief tenure THAT
the second proceedings were begun based on
the same allegations in the District Of Colum-
bia, 5000 miles from Wheeler's home State.
This case is still pending The Government
can now put an end to it. Stone is out. John
G. Sargent heads the Department of Justice.
# he is disposed to follow the bad example of
Daugherty and Stone, a word from mis- chief,
Calvin Coolidge, is sufficient to correct any
such purpose
Here is an opportunity for the Admins
tration to reveal whether or not it contains
those human elements of decency and fair play
that every American has a right to expect of it.
Every partisan of the administration
should help to make it understood that the
country expects now to see an end of this I'M
fair attack on the character of the young West
ern Senator.

GROWING DEMAND

LII in a recent address at Pur-

This region, he believes. will be

Twenty-Five years is A long time

only about forty years since the
