Editorial Comment
Carroll Goes to Atlanta
Chicago Tribulfe)

Earl Carroll of New York has gone to Atlanta,
and the reporters who saw him 60 said he seemed
dcwnhearted although he did not have to ride to
the station in the Black Maria. His detection may
have been caused by the fact that he is not to
much of Atlanta, having year and day to spend
in the federal pententiary.
Carroll goes to the pcnitentiary because he lied
That is the record. He perjured himself in the
federal court when he said that Joyce Hawley had

made him all his trouble. The affair was precisely

to lie about it. Even if he dsrcputablc
enough to have such party he would be expected
to be at least respectable enough not to admit it.
The lie would be about the only evidence of self
respect he could give, and if he didn't give it he
would be regarded more shameless than the

People who like the Volstead act want him in

EIevating Jazz

that it is significant phenomenon Of present day

They might save their effort. OF course, jazz

that it reflects accurately is the thing that keeps
it from being first class music.

Dollars and Cents Service

!; Governor Theodore Chrstianson has vetoed the
bill raising salaries of Minnesota legislators from
ST 900 to $500 year. He gives his reason
that public service cannot be measured in dollars
and cents
North Dakota confronted with the same
problem during the last legislative assembly, when
the question of raising the solons' salaries
agitatcd and finally lost sight of in the ast-min
ute rush. The arguments about measuring
public service in dollars and cents were advanced
at that time.
Governor Christianson was elected and reelected
on platform of economy He pledged his efforts
TO cutting down mounting state appropriations.
lie has adhered faithfully to this platform and,
a result, many unnecessary items have been pared
from the state budget.
In this case, however, the governor seems to out
sders to have gone a little too far in his fight
for economy 1t is doubtless pleasant for Mime
sofa citizens to think that by vetoing this bill
Christanson saved the state approximately 100000
But the question of whether it would not be bene
fetal to have let this bill pass still remains. The
fact that legislators in the majority Of states are
underpad is notorious.
Public service should not strictly. be measured
in dollars and cents, as the governor says 1t is
doubtful whether the legislators who supported
this bill did so only because they wished added
compensation at the expense Of the state. What
the governor does not take into consideration is
the fact that the average senator Representative.

The Hobo Passes

From Columbus. Ohio word that jeff
Davis, king of the hoboes. has decided that
more will he ride the blinds, jump freight trains
or trek YEARLY down roads. He is going to stay
at home. he says, after wandering than $780,
600 miles the world in the last 26 years
In Davis remark may be noted more significance
than actually appears the surface. The hobo
of the old days. who rode nimby ON freight trains
passenger trains; who waylaid the sympathetic
city street corners with plea for lust nickel
for cup of coffee"-and then went around the
corner to spend it in saoon-that type Of man
is fast vanishing. He oftentmes was a man OF
subnormal intelligence, and then at other times
was who, although not educated, possessed
). more than the average mentality. The "hoboes'
rrollege" in Kansas City bears this out
All the northwest states had their hobocs a few
years ago and they were a commonplace. People
accepted their pleas for food money neg
ligcntly and let them live their own strange lives
Nearly every town, if it were of any size, had its
Jungle" where the "bo's" could congregate while
waiting to hop the next train. Today. these
"jungles" are confined to few of the more i'm
portant railroad points Some cities have them
still because of the facilities provided through be-
ing railroad division points, but oldtimers say that
the hobocs grow fewer every year.
The "drifter," the itnerant laborer who wanders
from place to place getting farm work or othe,
manual labor, is still factor in North Dakota at
least, but the "panhandler' is passing. College
boys off on vacations, riding the rods to see
the country, or hailing rides along well-traveled
highways. Occasionally writer's this method
One Of them drew some vivid pen-pictures of west

So Jeff Davis words may have meaning. The
shiftless hobo is being crowded out in the hustle.
hustle of the present day. And in his place are
coming intelligent youths, eager for knowledge and
adventure.
