THE COMING OF THE AIRPLANE


The airplane industry is being de-
veloped just as were railroads and
automobiles. 1t takes pioneering,
courage and faith in the~project.
Twenty years ago the conserva-
tive individual wouldn't ride in an
automobile. Today, he won't ride
in an airplane. But the fact re-
mains that automobiles are as COM
mon today as bath tubs.
Most people do not realize that
we'll established air lines are hand
ling mail, passengers and express
over our whole nation. They oper-
ate on schedule up and down the Pa
cific Coast, in the Rocky Mountain
states. through to Chicago and east.
These lines have all had to devel-
Cd under adverse conditions just as
did the first railroads and the first
automobiles. The pioneering plan
\ s have had vast distances of noun
tains, timber and deserts to cover,
with landing fields few and far be-
tween, without guiding lights and
with other innumerable obstacles to
contend with. Only men with the
pioneering spirit would attempt to
surmount such difficulties.
In going from San Francisco to
Chicago by plane, a recent passeng-
err said that he felt entirely comfort
able, relaxed as he would in any
easy chair in his own parlor, and en-
joyed the varying scenery which
could not be observed in other man
ner. He said there was no feeling OF
instability, and when he was tired
he took nap. Wonderful scenery
was encountered and even herds OF
antelope and other wild life were
visible. The time required was FL
hours from San Francisco to Chi
cago.

A The sober citizens of Reading, Pa,
have elected Socialist mayor. No
section of America is less inclined to
try strange doctrines.
But the voters of that solid city
simply became weary OF politics and
parrish methods. The candidates
presented by the two old parties Of
fered no satisfactory choice, so a
Socialist could be elected.
Graft does not flourish as it once
did in city government, but incom-
potency is widespread. Think OF the
cities you know and count those
which are administered like any big
business. The number is not large.
We apply twentieth methods
Of efficiency to all big business except
politics.
Why not put the same initiative
and skill into the common enterprise
of government that we do into per-
sonal business and professions?
Baltimore has done it. Eleven OF
the city's leading private corpora
lions loaned their biggest and best
executives to the city to put it on a
business basis. They established
order, reduced taxes and public
waste. Why not business in all
public affairs? 1t is practical.
