Aviation and Safety

Next MONDAY new era of transportation opens
IN this country when combination Of airplane and
Pullman will carry passengers from coast to coast in
two days.
That means time saved for the thousands who
will travel in this manner. Time saved is time added
10 human life.
Because of swift transportation, instant COM
munication radio moving pictures, the life OF every
nabitant of the world today is measured in terms Of
experience thousand times as long as that of Me-
thuselah.
The one question that will b. asked on the opening
of air travel will be "Is it safe?
The numerous tragedies in the last few weeks In
fyng might well raise doubt. There will be, for a
long time very many who will travel more slowly ana
prefer to remain upon the ground.
Yet every such tragedy be traced to one of two
sources Either the machine developed defects or the
pilot became incautious

JJp in the pilots seat were two skilled men, ANY
sudden disability of one pilot would result instantly
in the taking charge by the other. Three motors
propelled the machine Each had been tested before
the plane left the ground Any of the three was

That was the reason that Casey Jones could sleep
while eleven other passengers looked with increasing
wonder at the world beneath and marveled at the
modern miracle.
The other eleven also obtained a new view OF the
world an entirely different conception of its beauty
a new knowledge of geography.
Two and a half hours to st. Louis, time for lunch
and a return in the same length of time opens the
way for many changes in industry and commerce and
living.
The fact that the two pilots were in constant radio
communication with the air ports assurance that
there was no danger of sudden storms ahead And a
Harvard graduate acting courier answered any
question: concerning the plane, geography the opera
ton of the machine the distance Travelled or the alti-
tude attained.
Very soon the fear of air travel will disappear. 1t
will 90 as the first fear of the locomotive and the auto
mobile went. 1t will go when the two sources OF
danger the disability of the pilot the disability OF
the machine, are prevented by precautions
The transcontinental line will be but the first OF
MANY such enterprises Tomorrow the world will be on
wings.

substance of living organisms protoplasm another was
to state the situation would be to say that food
consists of protoplaSm.
So obviously. when We discuss the chemical con-
tent of our diet, we talking about the chemical
constituents of protopasm.
Perhaps We should have placed water at the head
of our list Of the constituents Of prooplasm since it
ranges from SIS 81 per cent of the total weight of
protoplasrl.
Water is an indispensable constituent of proto-
plasm That is why water is indispensable part of
our diet AS the water in the protoplaSm is used up

There is only small amount of mineral salts but
they are vital.
The three other constituents have been listed in
the order of their chemical completely. The carbohy
drates are the simplest of the three. Fats neT
while the proteinS have the most complex chemical
organization.
There are also minute traces of other chemical
substances. Plants, for example, contain vitarins
chemical substances which essential in our diet

The chemistry of the vtamins is dAEcult subject
about which there is much yet to be leaned.

"VTOU are in q bad slump" writes
l. M. K. L., but fortunately the
remedy is easy. I think L can guar
antee you that falling in love will
solve all your difficulties. But, re-
member, you must fall in love sud-
denly, if it is to do you any good
Don't put this off from day to day.
1t is important that the matter
should be attended to Immediately.
Incidentally, my prescription is
that you should exercise due caution
not to fall in love permanently. 1
am assuming that you have no in
tention of writing any more novels
or of ever writing poetry. Perma-
nence is rather useful for poets and
novelists, but for column conductors
nothing should ever become set.
"a variability of mood and point
of view is essential. And so, as I
have said, won't you please go and
fall in love quickly and violently
for short time. 1t will make you
much more readable"

UNION ADMITS IDAHO

July ).
TODAY is the anniversary Of the
4 admission Of Idaho to the Union.
At an election in November, 1889,
the territory of Idaho ratified a
Constitution and then petitioned
congress for admission to the Union,
Congress passed the admission ACT
and on July 3, 1890, the President
approved the bill.
Territorial Governor George Il
Shoup automatically became the
chief executive Of the newly created
commonwealth. At a special electionl
in October, 1890, Shoup was con-
tinued in office and to him belongs
the distinction Of having been the
last territorial and the first state
Governor of Idaho
Idaho is one of the largest states
in the Union, having an area of
84,3I3 square miles. 1t was at one
time part of the northwestern terri
tory. Congress created the terri
tory of Idaho in 1863
With the exception Of great sage
brush plains in the southern part
of the state, Idaho is covered With
ranges Of mountains and deep VAL
leys. It's name comes from Sho-
shini exclamation "E-da-how," with
the accent on the second syllable.

THE tariff has resulted in tn

TINE tariff has resulted in the
l. creation of O. third house at
Washington which, because of the
money and influence back Of it, is
able to exercise tremendous inf1u-
ence in other political activities.
Though unofficial in character,
this third house has become an in
tegral part Of the government to
such extent that it can often de-
termine public policy, dictate pat
ronage and secure the enactment
of laws. 1t ought to be dragged
out in the open, its members identi-
fed. its sources of revenue revealed
and its activities exposed.

Concerning Taxes

News of treasury surplus of $185,000,OO0 for the
fiscal year which ended June 80 has revived talk of
further reduction in taxes. That inevitable.
It would be good politics for the Republicans If
they could lower taxes for that money in the
pockets of the voters, which is most persuasive
gument when they go to the polls.
1t good politics for the Democrats to demand tax
cuts That sounds well to voters and is calculated to
embarrasS the Republicans.
And the Democrats are not in power and there
fore would not have to shoulder consequences of I'M
wise fiscal policies.
But lower taxes probably not warranted at this
time despite the excellent showing of the treasury.
Fortunately. there seems to be little disposition
the part of the administration its leaders In
gress to alter the revenue laws
Nothing doing" said Senator Reed Smoot, who
has excellent knowledge of the governments fiscal
affairs whatever may be said of his views generally
The treasury is noncommittal The White House
is giving careful study" to the possibility of tax
auctions but calls attention to uncertain factors which
must be determined be5ore decision is reached.
It will be recalled that shortly before President
Herbert Hoover took Office deficit of $97OOOOOO
feared and congress and the executive departments
we're asked to keep expenditures at minimum. Their
efforts helped.
The surplus however, chiefly due to windfalls,
to revenue which the treasury had not expected to
receive.
Income taxes we're S22O,OO0OOO more than had been
anticipated for example principally because of pay
ments on profits made from the unusual stock market
situation
Meantime the cost OF government was s15O,OOOOOO
greater during the fiscal year just ended than the
wear before 1t will increase again this year and again
next: that is conceded.
The government. in addition, is committed to huge
unusual expenditures such those for farm relief
food control cruiser construction inland waterways
improvements and public buildings.
The s185 900 900 surplus will not lie in the treasury
to meet future bills. but will be applied to reduction
of the public debt
further element Of uncertainty lies in the effect
proposed tariff changes will have on prosperity and
revenues.
The treasury is convinced, with six months of the
calendar year behind it. that prosperity Is weestab
lished and will continue. There abundant facts
to justify this view.
1t remains true, however, that the present good
showing in public finances is to unusual conditions
which might easily change and that income and ex-
penditures approaching too closely to justify
sacrifice in revenues things now stand

Refuses Assignment

II WON'T do it, and that's all there
l. is to it. This is asking too much
of columnist, even If he has been
dull.
AS things stand I go to all sorts
of trouble to find themes to write
about. I read books and attend
shows and fish in Hale Lake, all
for the sake of copy.
But I refuse to fall in love merely
to get a column for Monday morn
ing. Think how eStranging it would
be to say to anybody:
Would you mind if I were vio-
lently in love with you for q little
while because it would help me out
with my newspaper job consider
ably?"
And, besides, there is another
difficulty which M. K. l.. has over
looked. She doesn't seem to have
any conception of the nature and
the strength of masculine chivalry.

Same Old Argument

Its explanation was not only
Il 4 unoriginal, but brought forth
the same old answer.
In reply to his contention that
f1rst-class carillons could not be
made in this country; that there
was no necessity for protection, and
that a duty only imposed hardship
on American buyers, two carlton
makers declared that he was all
wrong.
They said that just as good CARL
Ions could be made in America as
anywhere else; that the business
was suffering from foreign compe-
tition, and that a 40 per cent duty
was none too much.
