WEDNESDAY JUNE Both, 1926.

In the theory and principle the same
thing applies in the United States, but
the theory and principle are not so
much respected in practice here as in
England. A British womar's chances
to escape the customary legal penalty
for taking a human life are not SO
good under the processes Of justice in
Great Britain as are the like chances
of an American woman under Amer
lean processes of justice. The sex
factor is more determinative here
than there.
A woman who was the mother of
three children, one Of them baby,
has just been executed in Manchester
for strangling to death her iandlady.
1 We may be quite sure that the jury
which returned the verdict Of guilty
and the indge who imposed sentence
in this case did not relish the sitpa-
ton in which they found themselves.
They doubtless would have been glad
60 be rid Of the performances of a
plain duty under the law, but at. the
same time they recognized their duty
and responsibility for just what they
were and were true to them, regard
less of what their own feelings may
have been.
More than that, this jury and this
judge in England did not let the
thought of womanhood and mother
hood detract their minds from the
fact that murder had been commit
ted, that murder is terrible crime,
and that another woman had been
cruelty and wrongfully deprived of
her life, which not even society or
government was empowered to take
save by the process of law and for
cause deemed adequate in the test of
fundamental social rights
The woman who deliberately
wrought this crime against another
woman was aware of the gravity of
her offense in British law and British
consciousness. She was competently
to be of sound mind, else
she would have been restrained and
not executed. She knew that taking
refuge in plea of sex and of mother
hood is precarious expedient In
England. 1t was not unknown to her
that when a woman in her country
becomes murderer she is considered
as having befouled and desecrated wo-
and as having thereby for
feited any just claim on clemency in
the courts.
Because British courts determine
their action by law and The facts, in
stead of by sentiment, and because
they are inhospitable to flimsy tech
nical;t;es and delays, murders in that
country are relatively few.-Minnea-
polls Tribune.

BIG CAR USELESS
WITHOUT HIGHWAYS

Minnesota highway News
81 would rather own and drive a
$500 car in state with good roads,
and pay $400 year to the good road
fund, than to have $4,000 sedan in
state that had no road SYSTEM"
said caller at the Minnesota high
way department recently. with a
low price car and good roads l would
get somewhere, and get lot more of
comfort and enjoyment than the man
with the big limousine and no road"
"Of course" he added, at is not
necessary to go to either extreme.
But | think we should always try to
maintain the right ratio between road
expenditures and car expenditures.
We are spending about 80 million dol
lars for roads in Minnesota this year
and about a billion in the United
States as whole including state,
county, town and municipal road
work. That is lot of money.
"But the people of the United
States spent about four billions for
new cars and trucks in 1924, 655 mil
lions for parts, CTS millions, for re-
placement tires, two billions for fuel
and lubricants and go millions for
service labor. Add garage storage
costs, insurance, registration and gas
taxes and other incidentals, and you
soon have ten billion dollars, so that
our road cost is only ten per cent of
our total motor bill.
'Ten per cent for road and 80 per
cent for rolling stock and operation
would make railroad man laugh out
loud The roads reporting to the Min
nesota Railroad Commission spent
$48,237, 147 for road betterments and
$125, 153,O97 for equipment in 1924.
In 1928, they spent $60,676,352 for
road and $l08,178,031 for equipment.
In 1922 they spent S32,OO9,01O for
road and S37,425,854 for equipment
In other words 35 per cent of the
money they spent for hetterments
went into the road bed and 65 per cent
into rolling stock and other equipment.
Or take the operating expenses
The large railroads spents in Mime
sofa in 1924 $1S,377,261 for mainten-
dHCS VI way anu structures, oZO,oOO,-
800 for maintenance and equipment
and 1868, Asa for transportation.
Here the part spent for maintenance
of the road was 1873 per cent.
But if you go back to the original
investment, the proportion spent for
road is much greater. Ten of the
large roads on which tentative valu-
alton has been completed by the In
terstate Commerce Commission have
an investment of S416, ,663 in road
and permanent structures in Mime
sofa and $125,534,575 III equipment
and 1886 per cent for road.
With a liberal allowance for de-
probation, the 565,719 motor vehicles
In Minnesota have present value of
at least 800 millions. If we had in
vested 1888 in track for each dollar
invested in rolling stock as the rail-
roads have, we should have a billion
invested in Minnesota roads. That
would pave every mile of trunk high
way and $4,000 miles of other roads.
Il am ahead of time, / know. But
am just-trying to show that our road
expenditures, which seem large at
first glance, are small in proportion
to what we spend for vehicles"
