Keeping Highways Free

More than 100 private promoters have asked
Congress at this session to authorize them to build
private toll bridges interstate streams con-
Meeting roads which have been improved for auto
travel by Federal and State taxes
1t is to the credit of the House subcommittee
having charge of these bills that it has reported out
about fifty bills for public construction and only one
of the private bills
Rep. Denson of Illinois, chairman of this SUBJ
committee has told the House that the committee
is opposed to private bridges where the public
authorities will build and is guarding against
monopoly in private franchises which would permit
their being granted to private promoters for possible
speculation and sale.
Denison said however, there were situations where
no public agel.cy was ready to build bridge but
where one was nevertheless badly needed, and that
private toll bridges have place in such situations
This is open to question. The highway commission
of Indiana is now working plan by which private
operation of big Interstate bridge win never be
necessary 1t calls for public construction and control
the money to be supplied by private firms through
State bonds, which will constitute mortgage on the
bridge The bridge would become free as quickly as
the tolls pay off the bonds.
Every such plan as this should be carefully
studied before bridges turned to private
interests. even with the safeguards now contained
in all Federal bridge legislation.

Estates Rights"

1t is unfortunate Thomas jefferson cannot be
summoned a witness at the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee hearings on the Walsh power
investigation resolution.
If he could it is safe to assert he would resent the
twisting of his doctrine of States rights" to defeat
those things for which he stood most firmly.
Jefferson brought forward the doctrine of
States rights" to protect the common man against
what he thought the menace of an irresponsible
central government controlled by organized wealth
He wanted to give the mass of people power not to
take it away from them
The principal argument advanced to the commit
tee against the Walsh resolution has been that of
States rights, asserting the power and the ability
of the States to control the power industry effectively
That argument is bunk. Even the Federal Trade
Commission hasn't the temerity to make such clairl
In a report recently sent to the Senate the COM
mission said that the States lack power to control
adequately the financing of electric power companies
and that they are being increasingly incapacitated
as effective regulators Of rates charged consumers
Representatives Of the power industry don't want
Senator Walsh to conduct an investigation.
Senator Lenroot, Senator Thomas ct AL as lobby
lists for the power industry, have poor argument in
pleading States rights.

In Bad Company

Apparently there are some men who just
have hard luck in their friendship. No matter
how fine and great they are pure in their own
purposes, they do seem to be thrown with those
of baser clay.
Take the latest episode in the career OF
Governor jackson and fortunately it car be
taken from the inspired record OF the head OF
the Republican Editorial Association who urges
that all Republican newspapers of the State
print it at once as spot news.
just why there came this rather unusual
appeal in behalf Of widespread information
concerning Governor jackson may be matter
of debate 1t may be very desirable. And facts
about the Governor or any public official should
always be welcomed. Perhaps we have known
too little in the past about our public officials
We are learning more.
1t is from this inspired not to say press
ACCENTED, account Of the Governor that we dis
cover that he has again been unfortunate in his
companions.
There was a hunting trip, so says this
effusion of the Republican Editorial head, and
the Governor was member of it.

ing what is called in the Governor sense of

Did the hunting party carry away the
chicken? Was that part of the days bag?
Unfortunately the press agent is not historian.
All that we know is that out of that hunting
party, the Governor was the only one with
"sense Of fairness
Next day, we are told the Governor slipped
away from the party, without letting his COM
panions know anything about his intents or
purposes and hiding from them his benevolent
purposes. He hunted up the farmer who owned
the chicken He paid the farmer for his loss.
And not until the Republican Editorial Associa-
ton head discloses the facts will those COM
panions know Of the Governors actions.
There are missing chapters in the story that
are important and should be furnished.
Who were these hunting companions of the
Governor and what kind of men were they?
Were they in the habit of such invasions on
chicken coops?
Why did the Governor sneak away from
them and hide his meritorious act? What sort
of boys has he been playing with, anyway!

Once more the trial of Gov

begin on Feb. 7, the day originally

Hughes at Havana

Adopting the military maxim that the offensive
makes the best defense, delegation at the Pam
American conference at Havana has decided not to
wait for Latin America to begin bombarding us on
account of Nicaragua and our policy of nterven-
ton, but to start the firing ourselves.
Speaking before the American Chamber of Com
merce of Cuba, Charles Evans Hughes, chairman of
the delegation, saw fit to explain position. And
while his audience composed, for the most part,
of Americans he was really talking for the benefit
of the world.
Far from harboring imperialistic designs on the
territory south of the Rio Grande he said the United
States desires to Latin American countries indie
pendent, strong and prosperous the more so the
better. In fact, he added, independence stability
good will and cooperation the four pillars upon
which the Pan-American structure rests and it is
the policy Of the United States to encourage devel-
opment along these lines.
We have interviewed in certain of the countries
to the south of us, he said but have got out as
soon as order restored or we will get out when
the needed housekeeping is accomplished. We will
get out Of Nicaragua as soon as the work which
called us there is finished. We seek no territory
anywhere. Down to the smallest and weakest Of
our neghbors we want them all to be strong, pros
porous and independent.
Many Latin Americans we sorry to say, will
smile ironically when they read what our former
secretary Of state said at Havana Yet he was speak
ing in all sincerity of that feel absolutely GER
tain. And he only speaking the truth. Certainly
sentiment here in the United States is overwhelm-
ingly against policy Of Imperialism and in favor OF
policy Of good WILL cooperation and mutual respect
However, we have right to blame Latin Amer
leans If they do not always things see them
We feel that have been particularly free from the
faint of imperialism since we started out our own
ND hof vat fho IN
south Of us are prone to remind that approx
mately fourth of what is now the United States
belonged to Mexico no longer than 1845. And they
point to the Philippines Panama Canal Porto Rico,
Hawaii and so on.
Latin Americans say that we are reaching out.
They that have increased our territory about
so per cent within the memory of many men now
living. We say we different, and that We came
by everything we have honestly and justly. They
retort that Spain, France or Great Britain would
probably say the same thing of their acquisitions
Anyhow, Mr.. Hughes was speaking the truth at
Havana, the truth as most people in this country
see it. The important thing now is to convince Latin
Americans that such is really the case.
There is but one way. President Coolidge seems
to have hit upon it when he took the Mexican stu-
alton into his own hands and sent Ambassador
Dwight Morrow down there to clear it up What is
required in Latin America is the ablest diplomacy
available. The biggest brains at the command of
the United States must be utilized The day past
when these posts can be safely handed out as plums

The competition, which Will close

Only twenty-one Of these letters

this land forever.
