Public Indifference
20 Fire Hazard

There is no more striking ex-
ample of puolic indifference to
sorely needed law revision than
the majority of the country $
building codes.
The inconsistency and obso-
= lescence of these would be hu-
morous if the result were not Sc
rious.
The buildings consumed by
tlre last year would line both
sides of street more than a
thousand miles long. The cost of
last year fires in this country
was more than 548,000,000.
And every man, woman and
child in this country is contrib
uting to this total for the meager
and unsatisfactory protection"
that it affords.
In addition to the cold dol
lars represented by the millions
paid out in insurance, we have
added millions of loss not COW
cred by insurance, so it is safe
to say fire in this country is
costing us more than a billion
dollars year.
Much of this sheer waste could
have been prevented if our
building codes were up to date.
here are codes that compel
hresate construction for places
OF detention, yet permit FIRE
trap school houses, theatres, ho-
tells and other structures housing
large numbers of people and
who can say that firesafe homes
are not just as necessary as FIRE
safe schools?
Such construction is not only
necessary for the safety of the
individual, but f3r the safety oI
the community. And in this
case, the community is the ma.
ton.
We are interested in the bes
building code for our own city
and are equally interested in {
good code for every other city
because no matter where the
fire, we pay our share of tn,
loss.
We may not be able immedi
ately to legislate hretraps out o
existence, but if the test of 9th
er communities stands we car
through modern building code
legislate into existence BUILD

"Old gaurd leaders of the Senate
are reported to have sent to Wis
consin for a copy of Young Bob"
La Follette's Declaration of Prin-
ciple,s" as the first step toward
reading La Toilette out of the Re-
publican party.
What have principles" to do
with it?
La Follette's platform can not
differ from the Republican decla-
ration more than that of Senator
Borah, for instance, who is not only
still recognized as Republican, but
is made the official Republican
leader on the very issue on which he
repudiates the party platform.
Senator Lodge, regular" of reg
ulars was not read out when he did
the same thing. The old guuarders
themselves did not read themselves
out when they upset Republican
policy, on the tax bill, the bonus,
and other issues.
/ 1t is not principles. 1t is standing
in"
The Republican voters of Wis
consin made young Bob" the reg
ular Republican nominee and then
elected him. The only other candi-
dates against him were the boilers,
runnig independent.
If a candidate after the Old
Guards own heart had thus won the
regular nomination, any other bolt
err running against him would have
been read out of the party.
If the rule does not work both
ways, it is because the Old Guard
considers itself regular even when
it bolts and the other side irregular
even when it has the regular nomi-
IONS and is endorsed by the regu
lar organization.

1t will be rather refreshing to
have such a campaign of education,

Both parties are on the same side
of this issue, and neither of them

And that, if the as yet inarticu-

The Postoffice Department
now is planning to cover the
country with a network of air
mail routes.
Airmail has proved to be a
success. But it has had to make
itself a success. Only a few
years ago Congress denounced
the whole plan of carrying the
mail by airplane as ridiculous
and cut off most of the appro-
priations for it. Its develop
ment in the face of Congression-
al opposition is a credit to the

BY GAYLORD NELSON
A FREE
VACATION

@APTAIN II. W. WEBBE, in
IL charge of enrolment for
the citizens military train
ing camp at FIT. Benjamin Harri-
son-July to Aug. Estates that
Indiana lags far behind other
States in the 5th Corps area in
applications.
Young men between Il and %
are eligible to the camp. They are
given military instruction, plenty
Of recreation, food, clothes. and
transportation-all at the expense
of the Government. To the young
nan the camp offers a free vaca-
tion-all he spends is his time.
Yet despite its obvious attrac-
tons young Hoosiers are slow to
take advantage of the offer. Only
so per cent OF the States quota of
enrollments has been received.
From ten Indiana counties there
has not been a single application.
What is the matter? Has the
younger generation suddenly be-
come so pacific that the thought
of a brief period Of military train
ing amid pleasant surroundings is
abhorrent?
Probably not. In spite OF wide
bottom trousers and other handi-
caps the young Hoosier this year
possesses a full assortment Of red
corpuscles: Pacifism has never
done we'll here. No doubt the State
Will produce when occasion de-
mands its customary crop Of the
fightingest young men who ever
wore uniforms.
Failure to fill the training camp
quota simply means that many
eligible young men have not been
informed Of the opportunity 1t af-
fords. If they are informed be-
fore May 15-the time limit for APP
plications-Indiana as usual Will
stretch it quota all out of shape.
