Twenty street, is dying at Geoi Se-
town University Hospital. lie sus,
tanned a severe fracture of the skuil
and other injuries.
Curran is in critical condition at
Emergency Hospital from fracture
of the skull and other injuries. lie

being taken to the hospital. Physi-
clans say that he has a fighting chance
for life.
The other occupants Of the automo-
bile were Thomas MannlX, II years
old. of o506 N street. who sustained Il

sharp turn on the wet road, skidded
into the pole He was hurled through
the windshield. receiving only flesh
cut on his hand and a scratch on the
neck. Those on the left-hand side of
the automobile-Curran and Roche
received the most serious injuries as
the pole was not struck on that side.
Paxton said he met the five other
occupants of the automobile at Twen-
ty-fifth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. last night after they had been
riding about for a while.
He said they then took trip over
the Lee Highway into Virginia ana
that it was on the return trip that the

wet road saying the automobile was
not proceeding at an excessive rate OF
speed.
Passing motorists took the injured
persons to the hospital. Paxton re-
fused hospital treatment and was
taken home.

at their bedside in the hospital TO-
day, while physicians engaged in

cluded Mr.. Hogan. Here the COM

ness through specifica tions 6 TO 16.

A. White, superintendent of St.
Eliza beth's Hospital. whereby a
monopolistic privilege on guardian
ships was given; that he originated
the Illegal practice of a $40 fee
to doctors of the hospital signing
affidavits; that such practice in
spred DR.. White to sell his testi-
mony ito criminals; that he re-
ceived since the war $98.544.46 for
serving as guardian "for no services
rendered.: that he intimated to
Chairman Madden of the House ap-
propriati tions committee that Director
Hines erred when he said all of the
r'enning veteran wards paid 10 per
cent commissions. that he deceived
the House when he said his total
receipts date as far back as 1903

charges was made by the Commits.
sioner On cross examination Of the
Blanton witnesses many of the points
raised by the proponent on these
subjects had been cleared up and
Mr.. Jennings testimony served only
to emphasize once more his denials
of misconduct. In cases like the
bond premiums. he admitted the
acceptance of them, but argued that
the propriety of such now Is before
the courts for decision. No money
ever has been received by him with
out the approval of the courts, he
said. Mr.. Fenning before the Gibson
committee had given a comprehensive
denial or explanation OF the charges.

Senator NOrbcck's Victory

Conservative forces were routed in the South Da-
ko.a PRIMARIES in the victory Of Senator Peter Nor
beck who has taken an advanced stand upon farm
relief He rolled up great majority over George
ID. Danforth of Sioux Falls, the candidate Of the
conservative wing Of the republican party
Senator Norbeck has been identified with the
radical bloc in the Senate. He opposed American
entry into the world court and the farmers Of that
state have given his position tremendous endorse
meht, lie has stood for the principle that the farm
ing industry is entitled to the consideration at
Washington the great manufacturing ccntcrs. II
tariff laws be drawn stabilize the business Of
the textile and steel manufacturers, there is
son why REIMBURSEMENT Of tariff schedules cannot
be made in the interests of the farmer
The vote in South Dakota reflects the attitude of
the belt farmers as well as the wheat growers.
Unless the republican party makes concessions
to the demands Of the farm bloc in the Senate there
will be surprises in the November elections
What took place in South Dakota is merely fore
runner Of what may be expected in other midwest
agricultural centers.

the Boy Scouts
1t is part of the Campfire Girls duty to take en-
tire charge Of the home az least one day. 50 it can
be readily seen that the Campfire Girls do not con-
fine their activities wholly to sports and that they
not merely firebuilders.
This organization should have valuable a plac.
in every childs life as the Boy Scout organization.
which has grown so fast throughout the United
States. Self-reliancc is the keynote Of the Camp
fire Girls program. The organization is financed
by dues. These dues are earned by the girls and no
girl is eligible for membership who does not earn
the yearly sum CT $l.OO. The members arc given
instructions in leadership, and in camp and
tional work, AS we'll as home duties.
This organization is carrying splendid work
among the adocsccnt girls and should be given

Editorial Comment
Bilking the Middle West
minneapolis JOurnan


Having suffered actual and increasing damage by
the operation of the Panama Canal the mdd;,
west now faces the danger that congress may do
still further damage by excluding it from its natural
markets through passage of the Go0ding long-and
short-haul bill. .t L.
This bill passed by the senate in 1924, but
was halted in the house. 1t would forbid the inter-
state commerce commission granting lower long,
haul rates than those for shorter haus the
line on the ground of water competition.
In practice, this would prevent the middle west
from obtaining reasonable through rates to the Pa
cific ports, because to grant them the transconti-
mental roads, already suffering huge losses from
Panama Canal competition, would have to stand
further losses by reducing their rates correspond
ngly to inland points of the intcrmCuntain region.
As the law stands, the commission is permitted to
exercise its discretion in these matters, taking into
account the existence of water competition
The Goodng bill would take away this dscre
t,nary power and deny the middle west all benefits
of water competition through access to the seaboard
The eastern and western seaboards meanwhile, as
well as territory that can use the lower Mississippi
and the Gulf ports would enjoy low rates by water
or by ral-and-water.
This further step in the starvation of middle west
industry is real menace. Yet the representatives
of this region have power to stop it, if they will act
unitedy and intelligently.
They may not be able to prevent passage of the
bill in the senate, where the representation by states
instead of by population, gives the intermountain
region Il strength much beyond its comparative inn
portance. But in the house the bill again
be halted by determined action Of middle west con-
gressmcn.
Senator Cummins of Iowa makes the cmincntly
practical suggestion that the proper remedy is to
raise the transit rates Ct the Panama Canal to what
he calls "a compensatory level That is to say,
the Panama rates should be such as to yield
sonabe return the money the people Of the United
States have invested in the canal
They are now SO low not to yield fair return.
The people have been taxed to dig the canal and
taxed to help maintain it, since the rates do
not yield revenue enough to pay for maintenance,
interest and amortization. Thus the middle west
gets bilked going and coming

How Does II Help Him?
Chicago Journal Of Commerce


Senator Brookhart sets himself up as friend
Of the farmer More particularly, he sets himself
up friend of the Iowa farmer. Now he makes
speech in the senate in favor Of the Gooding bill
Precisely how does that help the Iowa farmer?
The Iowa farmer wants lower railroad rates. The
railroads protest that they would like to lower the
rates on agricultural products but that in view
Of the small return they are earning. they should
be allowed to raise the rates instead. 1t is only
natural that the Iowa farmer should oppose this
request. He does not want to help the railroads
along at his own expense. But does he gain any,
thing by passage CT law which keeps the railroads
from cutting down their expenses in other direc-
tons? From the standpoint of the rates on his
own products, is it not to the interest of the Iowa
farmer to to it that the transcontnental rail
roads allowed to earn mere money if that money
does not come out of his own pocket?
Let the Iowa farmer swing his eyes southwark
to the Panama Canal, which he is helping pay for
The Panama Canal authorities are jubilant about
the increase in the canals business. They have
just reported that during the first eight and one
half months Of the 1926 fiscal ycar-frcm July
1925, to March Is, l92G-thc tolls paid by shipping
amounted to nearly $l6,000y00O. At that rate, the
tole will amount to about $22OOO.O0O for the en-
tire year As the Panama Canal has cost the United
States about half billion dollars, the Iowa farmer
can perceive that the canal is earning less than
per cent interest the countrys investment. And
it is earning nothing to pay for expenses of opera
ton, nor for depreciation charges, for any OF
the other its ms which the Iowa farmer and every
other business man must reckon in the conduct Of
| his business
/ The Iowa farmer pays taxes to support this Pana
ma Canal which is not only taking business ava,
from midwestern manufacturers but is taking none,
out of the pockets of the transcontnental railroads
which are carrying the Iowa farmers product. How
does the Iowa farmer benefit by this process! How
would he benefit by the vote Of his senator in favo
of bill which would make this process permanent
