A BLASTING BUBBLE, so.
CALLED

There have been in the news the
past year or so vivid accounts of
the establishing Of congenial COM
munities In Florida where the
wealthy might find all things to
their liking in a city built to suit
them and reserved for their oc-
cupancy. Now comes report Of such
an enterprise. the Floranda Club. in
voluntary bankruptcy.
As the report reads the wealthy
and distinguished freely granted use
Of their names and some Of them
invested large sums. Most Of them,
though permitting the promoters to
mention them as prospective resi-
dents, did not put up the cash for
mansions. Not only the wealthy in
this country but among those
abroad. including the nobility, were
those sought for the up-building Of
Floranda. the magnitude Of which
as 1t figured in the dream has never
been excelled. 1t was projected
rather as the most magnificent
colony in the world than as real
estate investment. Now the head

berries another year. This is only one
of several pieces in that section which
have received like treatment within
the last few years and the other lots
have begun bearing heavy crops of
berries. There is little doubt but

GOOD LUCK TO HIM

Tradition will not be satisfied I'M
less, the college grad strides forth
from commencement exercises to lee
ture the old worlds board Of direct
ors and set things right. Yet we
doubt II he will do this as cockily
as in the days when Hood expressed
apprehension lest he attempt to nail
the magnetic needle to the north. He
is being told that not more than half
Of his kind ever should have gone to
college in the first place. He cannot
have escaped all the jokes at his ex-
pense, enlivening the comic sheets
about this season of the year. In
deed, we are not sure but he needs
little of our sympathy. He is con-
scious of the drawing to close OF
four years in pleasant environment
and enriched by associations, which
now must undergo a wrench. We
best not tell him that all that four
years has resulted In uniting him
for what now awaits him. We would
not deny that exceptions may serve
to warrant such a conclusion, but we
should not jump at it. On the con-
trary we should avoid concluding
hastily. If we do that we are not
likely to arrive at discredit Of the COL
lege training.
Henry Bruere, who is in charge of
the policy holders service burcaa Of
the Metropolitan Life ms. Co., says
that bureau has made a study of
this matter, from which he concludes
there is a high percentage of success
in business of college trained men,
that the parent may consider the
money well spent If his son has made
a fair use of his opportunities during
his college years. He finds that a
college education trains a person to
think in an orderly and logical man
ner, to analyze a problem, and to de-
termine between those things that
are of real Importance and those
things which are merely detail
Provided the college man has
taught himself how to work and think
he need not be discouraged, but may.
with increased confidence, set his
face toward the life before him. Good
luck to him.

GOVERNMENT BY REVOLUTION

Little Portugal follows the custom
set in Italy under Mussolini, in
Spain under Primo de Rivera, in
Poland under Pilsu lski. Under this
arrangement those able to command
the physical force overturn govern
ment under cons ution and laws.
They assume a hci.vy responsibility,
for eventually they must either be-
come despotisms or establish them
selves under constitution and laws
for succeeding revolutions to over
turn. Meanwhile The people are be-
Ing educated in tie method Of revo-
luton as the rem ly to apply to un-
satisfactory COVE. nm"ut. That is
what those of the ...nese, who are
not engaged by pc2ceful means In
eking out eXistenc2. are now doing
That Is the method that has OBJ
tanned in some Of the Central Amer
lean countries where they have some
excuse for being hot-headed, owing

run according to the formula that
those who take the sword in agrees
sion are ended by the sword, and are
a long way from the abolition Of
war

that one president. Norutowicz, was
ASA ssinated, that serving as presi-
dent would prevent him doing the
work he must do. Nowhere does il
appear, however, that the doughty

Editorial Comment
Taxes and Operating Expenses

kIldllNdy -iSeb
'"This upward trend of taxes since
the end of the period of business
imitation contrasts strikingly with
the trend of railway operating ex-
penses. Almost every single item of
operating expenses has been steadily
reduced since 1920, the total annual
reduction having been about ST.
25O.000.00O, or 20 per cent. On the
other hand. in 1920 railway taxes
were 1921, 100000, while in 1925 they
had increased to 1868, 100000. III
they continue to increase through
out this year at the same rate that
they did during the first quarter
they will amount in 1926 to $780,
500, 900, or to about S1.055,00 daily.
as compared with about SI43,Ogo
daily in the imitation year 1920.
1.-THE huge reduction in operating
expenses that has been made has
rendered it possible largely to re-
duce the rates that the public pays
the railways and has been accom-
provement in the transportation
servece rendered to it. These things
have been accomplished by private
MANAGEMENT. Most Of the increased
taxes paid by the railways have
been collected by the state govern
ments. Have the governments that
collected them so used them as to
give better service to the public?
The primary function and duty OF
governments is to protect the peo-
pie from crimes of violence. Has
there been a, reduction of such
crimes or an increase in the GER
.tainty of their punishment? Has the
management of public affairs by
those who had the collection and
expenditure Of the increased state
taxes levied upon the railways as
we'll as upon other property owners
been increasing in economy or in
Wastefulness?
