FOR SAFER NAVAL FLYING
beaumont Enterprise).

In commenting on ~airplane accidents, which occur
at frequent intervals although the margin of safety
in commercial flying is steadily increasing, students of
aviation problems have suggested that most Of the air
plane accidents are preventable. At an earlier stage
Of flying, tragedies were perhaps unavoidable. Many
lives had to be sacrificed before the present-day me
chanical efficiency of planes was achieved and men
had mastered the air.
In making public its report on aircraft accidents,
the bureau Of navigation states that during the last
nine months Of this fiscal year 1872 accidents cost the
lives of p naval aviators, and the personnel il held
largely responsible.
We have then official confirmation Of the belief
that most of the airplane tragedies that occur now
adays. whether in the military service or in civilian
flying, can be prevented. The same factors that cause
the destruction Of planes and loss Of life among army
and navy filters, are 70 be met with among civilian
filters. Carelessness is a commodity on which no class
Of aviators has a monopoly.
Secretary Wilbur Of the navy is so strongly i'm
pressed with the need Of reducing airplan accidents
among naval aviators that he has appointed a board.
headed by Rear Admiral William H. STANDBY of the
bureau of operations, to investigate means Of pro-
noting safer flying for the navy.
If navy personnel takes unnecessary chances and
thereby causes ~airpIane accidents the navy has the
authority to prevent such carelessness be enforcing
stricter discipline. If the navy is using any defective
equipment, or equipment that could be improved, IL
is committing a grievous wrong against the young men
whose duty compels them to fly in obedience to the
orders OF their superiors. Some days ago it was re-
ported that the marines in Nicaragua were using de-
fective or obsolete aircraft. This is a charge worth
looking into.
For a while army filters died at an alarming rate
in airpane accidents. and the lives Of many young
men were lost for reasons that were not satisfactorily
explained at the time. That flying is safe when a
plane is in a mechanically perfect condition and Il

Hiding Behind the Veto

Mark Sullivan, Washington political writer, asserts
that many Of the Southern votes were cast for the
Haugen bill under the belief it would be vetoed" or
in other words, many of the representatives had no
faith in the practicability Of the bill but we're ccnfi-
dent ii would be vetoed by the president. They cast
their vote for the measure in order to bolster their
strength with the rural voters. In the event an effort
is made to pass the bill over the presidents veto they
will probably vote for ID, confident that the measure
cannot muster the necessary t~wo-thirds majority.
IL Mr.. Sullivan can substantiate his statement, he
would perform a service to the agricultural interests
OF the United States by making public the names OF
those senators and congressman who are hiding behind
the veto. The agricultural interests have no quarrel
with those who were sincere in opposing the measure,
but they should be in position to eliminate those who
may in the future prove inimical to the farmers cause.
In justice to their constituents every member Of
congress should vote in accord with his views on all
measures. II they were opposed 70 the farm relief
measure, and I cannot be disputed that there are very
logical grounds for such opposition. they should have
cast their votes accordingly. Hiding behind the pres
ident's veto in order to placate the farmer voters may
be good politics, but il is most assuredly unfair to their
constituency.

GOLD AND MONEY RATES
New York Journal of Commerce

New York Journal of Commerce).
According TO a local bank bulletin, the exports Of
gold that have been going on have already exerted a
visible effect on money rates. Nevertheless, asserts
the publication, it would be theoretically impossible
to ship abroad Sl,OOO,OOO,OOO without forcing a reduc-
ton in bank credit. Dating the outward movement
from about a year ago, and estimating it at about
S3OOOOO0O0, the publication in question, while admit
ting that there is difference of opinion with regard
to the banking position resulting from this change.
nevertheless it admits an influence upon money rates
and apparently is disposed to expect that such influ-
ence would go on unless the gold certificates now IN
general circulation" amounting to about Il 1000, OOo.-
600 should be retired and replaced by Federal Reserve
notes.
OF course such a shift or withdrawal il being a.
tempted by the Reserve System, but experience seems
TO show that full success in it can not be expected even
under the best conditions. How many gold certificates
are actually IN general circulation is Of course a MAJ
ter OF only approximate estimate. How many are
actually here in this country is a matter Of conjecture.
How many could and would be given up is n mere
guess What is quite certain is that those that are
given up If replaced with Federal Reserve notes. Of
course necessltates a reserve behind the Federal Re-
serve notes and tend only to change the situation in "a
very minor way. This newspaper published some time

showing what would happen il this country N

Tariff Inconsistencies

The dominant forces in congress do not appear
greatly enthused over the proposal of the democratic
leaders that the tariff rates on all staple agricultural
products be increased in accordance with the accepted
policy of protecting the industry Of the United States
from foreign competition. No action in the direction
of higher duties may be expected at this session.
Important manufacturing interests are vigorously
protesting against opening up the tariff issue, and as
they WELD far greater power in both houses than
the agricultural interests, the efforts Of agricultural
leaders to secure a hearing on the inequalities of the
tariff, as applied to agriculture. will prove abortive.
The old theory that the protective tariff does not
aid in maintaining higher prices for domestic products
Of which the country produces a surplus, is not borne
out by the experience of the more important manu-
featuring industries. These industries produce far
more than 10 necessary for home consumption. and
the surplus is sold on foreign markets. often at prices
lower than paid by the domestic consumers.
Those manufacturing interests which are protesting
against an increase in the agricultural schedules ap-
pear to be divided as to the results of such an increase.
A few maintain that the increase is not necessary, as
the farmers produce a surplus and therefor could ex-
pect no benefits from n tariff. and the others assert
that an increase of the agricultural schedules would
increase the cost Of living, forcing industry to pay
higher wages to meet the new condition.
There is no consistency in their arguments. II the
manufacturers can produce a surplus and profit on the
domestic markets, the farmer could do the same. II
the manufacturer, protected by the tariff, is permitted
TO increase the cost OF living ny arbitrarily liking u
high price on his product, the farmer should have the
same privilege.
To secure the facts relative to the operation Of the
protective tariff is extremely difficult, as any mem
Der Of congress can testify. The truth about the OPP
Grafton OF protective tariffs is obscured by a number
of factors, such as transportation charges. lower wages
of foreign labor, cheaper farm lands, and the perish
able nature of certain farm products. The farmer may
not receive as much benefit from the tariff as has the
r,auufacturar ht IL would seem only fair that. En
long as the protective tariff is the national policy, ag-
riculture should be accorded as much protection
against foreign competition as the manufacturing
industry.
Tariff revision will be the most important issue
before the next congress. The farmers in all parts Of
the United States are thoroughly aroused over the
inequalities of the existing tariff, and they will be
virtually a unit in demanding that agriculture either
receive the protection to which it is entitled or that
the excessive protection rendered manufacture be
scaled down to the point where it will cease TO be a
burden upon the consumers.

Cleaning Out the Shysters

The Baumes laws having proved very effective in
suppressing crime and eliminating the criminal ele.
ments from the state. New York Is now turning is
attention toward cleaning out the shyster lawyers with
which the city Of New York has been cverrun for half
a century.
Prior to the passage Of the Baumes laws the SINISTER
element Of the legal fraternity existed through a more
or less shady alliance with the criminal elements. but
in recent years ambulance chasing" has become their
accepted method Of securing "easy money"
Scores Of lawyers who employed runners" and
whose damage actions brought against corporations
and individuals in the past three years have exceeded
1000, have been hailed before the bar for questioning.
and the practices revealed have aroused the ire Of the
more ethical members of the profession.
One attorney. Samuel Robinson, when confronted
with his rec rd which showed he had filed over 1000
he secured SIS per cent Of his cases from negroes and
that he had assistance Of Is negro and 3 white doc
tors. and that a number Of negro ministers were on his
records for annual christmas presents" These doc
tors and ministers reported 10 him every case With
which they came in contact which could be worked into
: damage action. and as the attorney never failed to
have plenty Of witnesses" he generally succeeded in
collecting.
In the past three years the number OF negligence
eases in the courts Of New York have quadrupled, and
business firms OF the city have been mulcted Of mil
lions Of dollars as a result of the efforts Of the "am-
balance ehssers." Investigation by the courts have
brought 10 light the fact that hu=dreds Of the cases

were faxed; that plaintiffs who testified to having
received injuries due to negligence Of business firms
or public service corporations had deliberately per-
jured themselves at the instigation Of the shyrters In
order to collect two or three hundred dollars, the ma
jor part Of which went to the shyster for his "fee."
Several attorneys, hailed before the court for in
vestigation, asserted they were forced to join the
Ambulance chasers" to secure the necessaries of
life. They declared that there are too many attorneys
in the city; and that they had found it impossible to
exist and observe the ethics of the profession. II this
is true. il is time for the legal profession to take cog
nizance Of the situation and take the steps necessary
to prevent such conditions as have been revealed in
New York.
