1000 AIRPORTS BY 1928 IS
PREDICTION FOR U. S.
Paved Fields Urged For Heavier
Commercial PlaneS-C Concrete
RunWays Used In Europe

More than 1000 airports and
intermediate fields will dot the
United Safes from coast to coast
and from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico by the end of 1927, accord
ing to the Aeronauctics Branch Of
the Department of Commerce.
A survey just completed by the
Air Information Division shows 865
permanent fields now in use, with
1877 cities definitely considering the
establishment of municipal airports.
Of present fields, 207 are municip-
ally owned. Chambers of Com
merce, business clubs and other
civic organizations are cooperating
in the effort to build up complete
airway and airport system, it is
stated
Many authorities are urging per-
manent construction for airport
buildings and especially for fields
and runways. Planes for projected
passenger lines, carrying as many
as thirty passengers, such as the
Ford lines between Chicago ond Los
Angeles, and seven or eight ton
freight planes will require landing
surface. Turf and cinders, it is
claimed, will not stand the wear.
Capt. Dopald E. Keyhoe, flying
aide to Colonel Lindbergh on his
tour of IS cities, recommended rum
ways of concrete 100 feet wide, and
Commander Richard E. Byrd, U. S.
~, suggests that entire fields be of
concrete, particularly since this
permits landing and taking off" re-
gardless of weather conditions.
European fields are leading in
the use of concrete, runways of
this material being reported in
service at the Croydon Airdrome in
England and at airports at Dessau,
Germany and Tempelhof, near Ber-
lin.

An INTELLIGENT Nafion

"NO other nation has advanced so
far as ours in it's social and econo-
moe adjustments" says David f.
Houston, former U. S. Secretary of
the Treasury. In on other country
can you find political institutions
resting upon as broad economic and
social foundations, or a population
with a higher sense of justice, more
prone to do the right thing or with
so many useful habits of thought.
Other nations of the world have a
long distance o go before they will
approximate our nations sound
social and economic foundations
and its consequent stability.
Il am far from maintaining that
our government is near perfection.
Our legislative and executive bodies
are human. They do make mistakes.
They will continue to do so. We
shall continue to have fair sprink-
ling of ~ self-seeking Npoliticans in
legislative and administrative bodies
men who are not big enough and do
not know enough to commend them
selves by constructive proposals
and sound actions on the merits of
a question-we shall continue to be
threatened and vexed by stupid
courses of action.
I'm the last analysis everything
will depend on the character of our
citizenship. 1t will depend upon
our keeping that citizenship pure
and upon extending it's education in
institutions of learning and in the
larger school of expenditures"

ever, which refuses to take into con-
sideration higher price levels, is diff
ficult to understand. Laborer.
manufacturer and housewife know
that wages, as well as the cost of
practically every commodity used in
daily life or operation of industry
have shown great increase in price.
Railroads, which buy practically
everything that is manufactured. as
as well as food grown on the farm,
are paying hese' increases as well
as increased wages.
How increased costs of construct
ion can be figured as not increasing
the value of the physical properties
of the railroads, is hard to under
stand. The man who builds a house
today must sell it for nearly double
what the same house would cost to
construct in 1914. Undoubtedly the
railroads, because of purchasing in
larger quantities, can buy more
cheaply than private individual
but even so, they must be paying
greatly prices over 1914.
If the decision of the Commission
merely means it has established the
value of the Santa Fe properties for
a period not later than 1916, of
what use is the decision for rate
making purposes in 1927, II years
later? 1t took 10 years to arrive at
this finding. If the valuation set by
the Commission is 10 years out of
date when it is handed down. of
what practical use is it in current
rate controversies?
The public believes in sound reg
ulations of public utilities and rail-
road companies. 1t also under
stands that valuations for rate max
ink purposes must be up-to-date;
that valuations may fluctuate rapid
ly due to causes entirely beyond the
control of either the people or the
companies; that it is essential that
rates be subject o revision, either up
or down, as rapidly as are COM

valuation on an automobile plant

Mining, A Basic Industry

1t is often easier to sell gold
brick" than to develop bona fide
industrial enterprise. This has
been demonstrated time and time
again in wesern mines. The worthy
proposition and the worthy oper-
ators will get scant consideration.
Often the ballyhoo artist will take
millions from the people for some
fanciful project with no merit or no
real value behind it. In spite of
such handicaps the mining industry
of the West has been developed on
substantial lines and is today one of
nations greaest assets. Without it
our industries would be severely
handicapped through having to de-
pend on foreign metal supplies.
The public should know that
legitimate mining is just as safe
and substantial as numbering, flour
manufacturing, farming or any
other business. Sound taxation
laws plap an important part in min
ing and can either encourage or dis
courage it. The next congress will
be asked to revise laws which have
a great bearing on mineral develop
ment.

Setting Tax ReductiOn ExampIe

Setting Tax Reduction Example
The Federal Government conclud-
ed it's fiscal year on June 80, with
the greatest plus in the recorded
annals of the nation, $685., 5,809, ,921.7O.
The year also saw a reduction in
the public debt of $1,131 100000.
The average interest rate paid by
the government during the twelve
months was 1891. This is the first
time since the World War that he
government has paid less than an
average of 4Qn interest.
The Federal Government has been
able to make these great savings IN
operation, not only because of the
prosperous conditions of our nation,
but because of the fact that those
charged with the administration OF
government and the expenditure of
money have become ecOnomy-m1nd-
ed. They pay attention to small de-
tails.
EcOnomy-mindness is bound to
bring saving and efficiency in gov
ernment.
Representative Green of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, Chairman of the House
Ways and Means, Committee, will
call that Committee to meet October
81, to consider the revision of he
United States Revenue Laws and
the proposal for further reduction
of Federal taxes. This will give
the Committee about five weeks be-
fore the opening session of Congress
to hear and prepare a new revenue
bill
During the past month Senators
and congressman have reiterated
that the rates in the higher bracb-
cts must be reduced. The lowering
of rates on incomes below $4,000
has resulted in a reduction in rev.
enue. The lowering of rates, nor
NAL and surtaX, from 464o to % per
cent, on incomes above $4,000 has
resulted in an increase in revenue,
according to treasury records. In
comes above $25,OOO are in many
cases largely from investments. Is
it unreasonable to believe that the
lower rates on these incomes will
bring form AK exempt securities in
to productive industry? viii this

which in turn, villa increase the
volume of taxable income and there
by increase revenue receipts?
High income tax rates drive in

enterprises where an element of
chance is very great into tax exempt

CHILDREN OF TENANT FARM.
ERS IRREGULAR AT SCHOOL

The school boy whose father is a
tenant farmer in Shelby or Ruther-
ford County, Tenn, is in general
absent from school approximately
four more days during the year than
the boy whose father owns his farm;
and the girl whose father is a renter
misses on the average more than
twice as many days from school as
the girl whose father owns his farm
according to a study to determine
the number and causes of absence
from school in rural sections of
these two counties, conducted by
the research section of the Tennes-
see State Teachers Association, and
reported in Peabody Journal Of
Education. The two great causes of
absence of children from school
were found to be personal sickness
and work in the home. In Shelby
County these two causes accounted
for more than 80 per cent, in Ruth
erford County for 20 per cent of the
total number of absences.

NAH VI AACNNAANAly
Secretary Work, by putting into a
single sentence a clear statement of
the Federal Governments relation
to the Colorado River development,
makes what ought to be a very
helpful contribution toward clear
ing up popular misunderstanding
Except for the international quest
ion as to distribution of the waters,
the United States has but one con-
Germ in the premises THAT con-
Germ, says he Secretary, "is the
moral responsibility to protect its
people from dangers of floods from
interstate streams"
There have been Floods" of con-
fusing talk about the Colorado pro-
ject, which have been almost as
destructive to the project as the
river out of its banks would be to
the helpless regions below it's level.
The talk has boiled with particular
heat about the question of power,
as if he purposes of a government
dam on the Colorado were to manu-
facture electric current.
1t is not the business of the gov
ernment to supply hydrOelectric
power to the Southwest any more
than it is the governments business
to supply coal to the people of
Pennsylvania or natural gas to those
of Ohio and Indiana.
The sooner the public understands
this and the sooner the entire pro-
ject is approached with that under
standing in mind, the sooner will

Something To Be Proud OF

Some of the best informed per-

smile dubiously were they told that
a mid-western town of $4,000 in
habitants has twice as many tele-
phones as one of the most cities of
the world with a population of al
most 100000 Yet it would be true.
The town is Beliot, Wisconsin, and
the city Venice, Italy. This fact
tells the story of the difference
between the new world method of
encouraging private initiative and
enterprises as contrasted with the
old world method of governmental
domination of industry and the in
