was mainly directed against clause 4, which was held
to revive one Of the Objectionable practices out Of
which arose the dispute between the king and the par
lament in the days Of the Stuarts.
Desiring to save time and expense, the Central
Valuation Department asked for power to 90 direct TO
the high court when it wanted an opinion on certain
doubtful points Of law. and this was provided for IN
the bill. Thus the department was TO be empowered
to skip the ordinary processes of Law, and the high

might afterward come before II for judicial decision.

The London Times commenting editorially on the
controversy said. "No one impugns the motives oil
those responsible for the proposal" but added, "ths
best legal opinion in the country is strongly opposed
to clause 4 as constituting a dangerous innovation On
the fundamental doctrines OF English law" The Times
therefore supported the demand that the clause should
be dropped. 1t also referred to the fact that Lord
Hewart in his address to the American Bar last year

Railways Enter Aviation Field

No one can accuse Gen. w. w. Atterburys pfeG4-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad, Of being a visionary.
The Pennsylvania has for years been regarded as ore
Of the most eonservatively managed railroads in the
United States. and its annual reports have reflected
that conservatism in the roads solid financial
standing.
The announcement that the Pennsylvania is ore Of
the hackers and principal stockholders in the newly
formed Transcontinental Air Transport Co., Inc, IL
therefore taken as an indication that even the most
conservative Of business men realize there is nothing
visionary in relation to the future development Of
aerial transportation. General Atterbury in a recent
formal statement, declared that the time had come for
the use of airplanes in connection with railroads. and
enthusiastically endorsed the plans Of the new COR
poration to inaugurate 4s-hour service between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. He said that far-reaching
developments could be expected to result from the new
program which, for the first time places one Of the
largest railroad systems squarely back of the Develop
ment Of aeronsutics as an integral part Of its pas
senger service.
Commenting upon the decision Of the Penns ylvania
railroad to embark in this new field, General Atterbury
said the railroad has taken this step after careful
consideration. Our railroad has become part owner
of the Transcontinental Air Transport. Inc. IA the
belief that the time is ripe for the Inauguration of
safe and convenient passenger airplane service IN this
country in connection with rail facilities. Years o.
flying and careful research have demonstrated that,
with proper maintenance and operation, passenger air
planes Of the type to be used by the new company. fly.
ing only in the daytime and over carefully selected
and marked routes. can be safely operated"
Considerable impetus was given commercial syia-
ton by Henry Ford, but it is doubtful If there IL sny
individual or corporation whose endorsement would
prove Of greater value than General Atterbury and the
Pennsylvania railroad. Years OF conservative ran
agement have given the Pennsylvania prestige and any
declaration by that railroad or its president il given
respectful attention by the entire country.
General Atterbury was reported as having said tina.
the railroads at first began to overlook the Significance
of motor bus transportation, with the result that they
found themselves in direct competition with these
lines. Many railroads were then forced to run their
own bus lines in competition with existing motor
systems.
Repetition Of this condition in the field Of aviation
will be avoided, Il was said, inasmuch as the railroads,
according TO General Atterbury. may be expected to
take an active part in the development Of these new
facilities for passenger travel.

People have moved from place to place and from
country 70 country ever since the advent Of mankind;
and, whether from impulse. impetus. or other causes,
the effects or the movements or people have been sim
liar In the majority Of particulars. immigration has
made history, and upon il and its incidents rests the
citizenship Of every country.
Citizenship, be IL good. bad or indifferent, dormant
or progressive, Is. after all. the final product IL the
civilization Of the world; and the Jealous, patriotic.
highly-perfected citizenship Of which America boasts
today ~bespeaks the structure of the immigrant forces
who, IN their determination TO escape from intolerance,
came to America, and finally established the original
thirteen colonies, Of which the United States OF Amer
lea is the outgrowth today.
In the face however, of our national advancement in
are and sciences, in culture, in education, in health,
and IN industry, wealth and government, just a few
years back we began to realize that into the crucible
of Americas melting pot Of humanity, there was being
thrown too much Of the human dross Of countries
which had not been as active as America has been IN
STRIVING to reach the very heights OF civilization.
Thus, we have placed upon our statute books a.
immigration law, the intent of which is to maintain The
high quality Of our citizenship, by making sure thar
Us standards shall not be lowered BY entrants of al

As a result Of this trend Of opinion in favor Of

The World and All
LINDBERGH AGAIN
By Charles p. Driseoll

Colonel Charles A.. L~indbergh, you may have 40
ticed, is one Of my specialties. ! am convinced that he
is the best, most substantial and most genuine hero
for everyday worship that any nation ever produced.
am confident taht he will not grow shoddy or cheap
from long wear.
II is one thing to be a hero for a few weeks. II is
another thing to be q young hero who must continue to
be a hero for years, perhaps for a long lifetine. I
cannot help comparing the heroship Of LinGbergh 70
that Of Richmond Pearson Hobson, who was one OF
the most wildly acclaimed heroes this nation ever en-
ioyed, in 1898. Mr.. Hobson's status or national hero
did not last long. He yielded to the temptation u
permit girls to kiss him. and when he had been kissed
by many thousands the nation didn't want him for a
hero any more. I don't blame Hobson y bit. He NAY
have chosen the better part. What lasting adulation
could surpass in value a million enthusiastic Kisses
from the lips Of the nations fairest?
But Lindbergh doesn't allow any kissing. He main
tains his dignity, which is . wonderful thing for 81
young a man to do. And ne doesn't permit himself
70 be exploited vulgarly for pay. He's the most heroic
hero Of them all.
Now Lindbergh is going to Europe again, by air.
I'M all for IT, think the whole scheme " conceived IL
good sense, good taste. and good judgment.
IN this eolmn, some weeks ago, | suggested thst
Mr.. L%indbergh be sent about the world as the American
ambassador Of goodwill, to visit every country on earth.
Some Of my readers wrote NE that this would be
shameful risking of the young hero's life. could N
their point Of view, but I still thought iii p rca;
scheme, both fromthe standpoint OF Lindberch ano
from the standpoint Of our national and humanita-
Ran interests. Now the plan seems "a be On the way
to accomplishment.
OF course Lindbergh will visit Sweden. the and
OF his fathers. Sweden will take him 70 her beart
Inc Swedes arc among the greatest people Oh this
round globe. but they don't make as much noise Ivy
some Of US, so they are not generally estimated at their
true worth. | lived among the scandinavians in Min
nesota for three years, and married the daughter o.
two natives Of Sweden. So I speak with some authority
when ! say that the longer and better YOU know tn
Swedes, the better you like them.
Lindbergh will make the crossing safely. and viu
demonstrate the advantages. during the warmer
months Of th far northern route to Europe. Before
he Is much older ! expect to see Lindbsrgh cross 10
Europe over he North Pole. That's a pioneering On
for his Viking spirit.
