Editorial Comment
Electric Economy
(Chicago Herald Examiner


Talk Of clcctrfying the Chicago railroad terminals
got down to cases when former President Byram Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul declared at the
hearing before the council committee:
There is no doubt in my mind in that Of
other officials Of the road that electric opera
ton is economy, compared with steam.
The Milwaukee has mileage electrified than
any other railroad in the world. As it is now in
the hands Of the receiver, Mr. Byram can hardly be
regarded as = witness partisan to electrification
from the financial point of view. Therefore when
he calls it economical we may be certain it is
nomical.
The Milwaukee has had experience in electri-
flying industrial terminals. The revenue from air
rights. building tho rglt-of-way made possible
by the cleanliness cf identification, does not enter
into Mr.. Byrsms estimate Of economy. Add that
to the actual saving in operating EXPENSES indi-
Gated by Mr.. Byram and the financial feasibility ct
ccctrifying such terminals as those in Chicago
seems demonstrated.

his Ford to the sidewalk in front of the Capitol
theater, brought his to sliding stop in the
midst Of several hundred people, and kept the side
walk completely blocked while he dried off the win
dows. Then he backed into the street, narrowly
missing other cars and was on his way.
A few minutes later half dozen pieces Of fire
apparatus in the downtown district narrowly es-
capped accidents only because their drivers
tremey careful. Pleasure car owners failed to pay
any attention to the SIRENS continuing to speed
through the streets despite the slippery pavements
and the low visibility.
A representative of The Daily News saw dozens
Of violations Of traffic ordinances during half hour
period, each one Of which endangered pedestrians
and other cars.
The state federation Of labor has started cam
paign to compel more careful driving, with compul
sorry state liability insurance as it's principal weap
on. There are many sides to the question Of state
insurance. Minnesota should not enter the insur-
ance business before 1t looks into al these angles.
But there Is little doubt that some type Of compul-
sorry liability insurance should be provided pref
