THE STANLEY ST. WAR

Residents OF Stanley street who
object to losing land through the
projected street widening and then
being assessed by the city for al
legged benefits supposed to onsue,
are quite corr in rending the air
with raucous , uaciations of the
board Of public works.
1t is the city and not the proper
ty owners, who will benefit by Wild
ening of the street; or at least, the
public at large. or that part Of it
which, cruises around in automobiles.
obtains the real benefits. The prop
erty owners merely furnish the land
and as the public works board
would have it, they are expected to
pay handsomely in money IN addi-
ton to donating their land to a pub
lie purpose.
Instead Of assessing extra money
against these property owners the
city, if it has a desire TO act Justly,
should pay them for the land need
Cd for the widening. That is usually
the way on other streets. Let the
public works board try, for instance,
TO widen Washington street, subtract
property from the owners thereof,
and then assess the property owners
for part of the cost. It couldn't be
uone and wouldn't be attempted.
Merely because the Stanley street
residents are home owners and not
downtown business property owners
/ a differen. method is pursued.
1t is time for the city to apply
the golden rule on Stanley street.

HENRY IOKD'S ACCIDENT

Many a poor man would hesitate
to travel about at night alone, os-
pccialiy If the nocturnal yisitations
took him over untrequentcd high
ways, into buildings whore only
few night watchmen lowered. For
the richest man in the world to
have such disregard for his own
safety is astonishing.
Henry Ford, whose practice it has
been to travel alone in this manner,
was not waylaid and robbed, how
ever, but came TO grief at the hands
of the driver OF one Of the machines
with which the country has been
so we'll stocked by Ford enterprise.
1t is said that the motor mag
Mates friends have long been con-
cerned over his lonely visitations,
but no amount Of advice has effect
Cd change. Thus new angle In
the Ford personality crops up; he
prefers TO make such visits and will
have his way regardless Of whatever
sound counsel others may give to
the contrary,
one such experience as he now
has had should be Of better effect
than counsel. After a man has mar
rowly escaped death he is likely tc
value canton greater than self-Will.

Now that the issuance of temporary

offering. public service and considered
as efficient, reliable stations. Some
notifications in the terms of the first

is likely that some OF those stations

may fail to qualify in the second round
of the elimination tournament of the
ether now being staged
Four general qualifications will be
required Of stations before they are is

missioner II. A. Bellows points out.
These are: Mechanical efficiency; type

BY mechanical efficiency it is under

will be out of luck. as will wabblers

interference in the past, by refusing

prior use of a specific channel in the

rights to continue operation thereon
Those who abandoned assigned wave

COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE
LIMITED BROADCASTING
Will Ask All Stations to Make
Provision for All Faiths,
Creeds and Politics.

The majority of the Federal radio
commissioners favor keeping the ether
open for all to broadcast--that is, they
want freedom of speech in the air, if
possible This thought was instilled
in their minds by many of the speak
ers a [ the recent radio hearings, and
although they have no power of cen
sorshlp over broadcast stations, they
plan to request all stations TO make
adequate provision for the broadcast
ing OF all faiths, Creeds and politics.
Broadcasting station censorship, ac-
cording to section 20 of the present
law, must not interfere with free
speech, and if the stations themselves
do not make free speech possible, Con-
Sress at its next session may take
hand, it is pointed out.
broadcasting station, in the opin-
ION Of Commissioner Bellows, is not
yet public utility, but Is in the posi-
uon of newspaper or a theater. Like
a newspaper, a station may take sides
on any issue and broadcast what it
desires except that if it permits a
candidate for public office to speak, it
also must permit his competitors 10
do SO as we'll. Like theaters, the
broadcasters offer entertainment in
what form they please. operating, of
course, under their State and police
