The World and All
GOOD
BY Charles Y. Driscoil

Treasure Island" ! still believe, is the best pirate
story ever written. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a
great deal that has not interested much, but he justi-
fled his entire writing career with Treasure Island
But there arc other good pirate tales, too, not writ
ten by Stevenson. I have talked about a few OF them
from time 20 time in this column. for nothing 50 stirs
my blood as a rafting good pirate story.
I've just finished reading BLACK Bsrtlcmy's Treas
ure," by Jeffrey Farnol. It's a thrilling tale, with
plenty of atmosphere, good handling of sea situations
from a landsmans point Of view, and a love story thai.
really overshsdows the treasure in the dark cave.
This II the first book BY Farnol that I've ever read.
I presume | should be ashamed to admit that, but |
think each Of US has a good deal to confess about books
we've never read. I'll write my confession for you one
Of these days and you'll be surprised. Also. III tell
you something about books I don't like, and after that's
published I'll never be able 10 hold up my head again
in the presence Of the American Association of Profess
sorS OF English Literature.
Maybe Farnol is q low taste, He has lots Of blood
and thunder in his story about Black Bartiemy. But
so much impressed am I with the rousing good nature
Of the blood-spilling or these honest seamen that 7 an

"Guyfford Of wesre," which has been published recent
~ BY Little. Brown & 90.
sss
I believe too many writers VI pirate tales adhere too
slayishly to the pattern laid down BY Stevenson. There
are too many one-iegged pirates, too mnny one-eycd
pirates. and too many squawking parrots in most pirate
tales. Such contraptions bespcak n lack Of inventive
genius on the part Of the writer. n \ man knows his
pirates and his sea. he doesn't need to paraphrase
Treasure Island" every time he writes a pirate tale.
Farnol is his own man. He has created his own pirates,
and he has set in tho midst OF them a wonderful woman
Of his own invention. too.

Broader and more specific powers for the Interstate
Commerce Commission 70 control snd direct the cot
solidstion az existing systems Of railroads into larger
units was one of the points brought out in the recent
annual report Of the commission. In addition TO citing
the continual growth in the variety and volume Of
work before its members. the commission asked for
legal power to delegate duties ia regard to hearings
and decisions to its individual members and employees.
In the direction Of limiting its own authority, the
commission asked congress TO exempt completely from
its jurisdiction the operation Of electric railways, ex-
cept such As Interchange standard freight equipment
with steam railways and participate in through inter
state freight rates with such carriers"
The report also proposed that railroads in the
United States be permitted by law to make joint
through rates with Canada and Mexico, and suggested
amendments TO the penal code to make workable Sec
tions applying fines TO shippers who misbill goods TO
avoid paying freight rates. Former proposals were re-
reated by the commission that the wooden passenger
cars be eliminated by law from general railroad service.
After frequent mention in its report Of the recent
trend toward uniting the steam carriers q the country
into larger units ard after reviewing the status Of in
dividual projects before il looking in that direction.
the commission summed up IT. suggestions for changes
in the railroad consolidation law.
To cope with the trend toward consolidation the
commission asked congress to make IL impossible for
one carrier 10 gain control or another lin any manner
whatsoever except with cur specific approval and
authorization" 1t sought also power TO require a
grouping Of carriers to include other railroad systems
within their scheme.
a method Of effeeting dominance in tho affairs
Of competing carriers that may seriously affect the
maintenance Of competition and other relations among
carriers" the commission said, lis he scquisition ~
individuals or groups Of individuals to control Of two
or more such carriers. Whethe such financial or other
relations can or should be prevented under existing
or more such carriers. Whether such financial or other
occasion to give consideration. The first instance If
such individual acquisitions OF relatively large rail-
roads have only recently been brought to our atten-
ton"
Congress will doubtless hesitate before enlargin;
the powers Of the commission as requested, but 1t !
apparent that changing conditions require that con.
rress either extend such powers 70 the commission or
create some body authorized to cope with the new con
ditions. It is very apparent that IL the commission IS
"a function efficiently Il must be authorized to meet
Tn. new problems which are constantly arising in con
rsc.io nvith transportation.

DAIRY OPPORTUNITY
(San Angelo Standard).

While much has been said Of the opportunity Of the
farm agent, introduced some very convincing figures
into the argument the other day. He said that in 1927
this state consumed slso.ooo.ooo worth Of dairy prod
ucts, OF which only ss2, 100000 worth was from Texas
farms and dairies.
Texas has room for five times as many cows as 1t
has now, according to those figures. That offers an
exceptional field for expansion, which the coming Of
Borden to Texas will stimulate from the great central
plant at Waco. There is room for other big plants in
the SI2s, 00o,o 900 difference between Texas production
and Texas consumption Of dairy products. There Is

| have recommended that congress give serious con
sideration to the desirability Of consolidating All the
legal activities or the government under the super
vision Of the attorney general. This recommendation
is prompted BY the recurrence or conditions akin ~
those which existed prior to 1870, when the response
bility for the legal work Of the government was divided
among many law officers, with no common supervisory
head.
These conditions resulted IN the creation Of the de-
partment Of justice and the placing Of the attorney
general at its head, with supervision over all the Thea
existing law officers or the government.
During the nearly SO years that have elapsed since
the establishment 81 the department Or justice CON
siderable legislation has been enacted either directly
creating law officers or under authority Of which legal
positions have sprung up here and there, the incum-
bcnts Of which arc not in specific terms made subject
Of the government. Such a condition Il believed 10 Be
no less harmful to the interests of tho government
now than il was in 1870.
The number Of questions arising in the extensive
legal organization Of the government make il desirable
that the operation OF federal law and its application
shall. TO the greatest possible extent, he unified aud
made 50 clear that tho citizen, no matter how remotely
distant from the seat Of government or how slight may
be the federal question involved in any controversy
which may arise between him and his government, shall
be able to know that every issue in his case from its
inception will be treated ~ the law Is interpreted ~
the scpremc court Of the United States and followed
BY the department Of justice, and that the law will hc
given the same Interpretation in every branch Of the
government in which a case under it may arise.
Such progress is being made that ! am hopeful the
day is not far distant when the law officers OF the
government throughout the country and in all the cx-
ecutive departments Of the government will admins
ter the law along the same lines of legal interprcta-
ton. As a necessary step toward this end. a central
control over questions OF legal Interpretation should
Be vested In the chief law officer IF the government.
