Pt WISHING THE FAMILY

The other day man living in q nearby town was sent 10 jail for 2 year because he had picked up girl and while having her in his automo- bile made advances that caused her to seek the aid or the police. While the man is in jail a wife and four year old child is left at home to live without his support. Two innocent parties are forced 10 share the punishment,
 One again is inclined 10 ask whether this is the best way.

RY-CLEANISG PLANTS

Next 10 the barDcring business there seems to be more keen conpe- tition in the dry-cleaning business than in any other A civic argument has been under way regarding the rights of dry-cleaing establishments under the zonins law, and whatever the pros and cons, we have no de- sire 10 meddle in It, What has come 10 our attention, however, is that dry-cleaninG Is kecn-edgcd method of entering into competition with other similar concerns.
 To gee three or four dry cleaning Institutions ensconccd within d few blocks is nothing unusual, In some sections they are az common as saloons used 10 be.
 The reason seems to be that pco- pie arc more clothes minded There "as a time when one of inc homo accomplishments was an ability t1 press q pair Of trousers with cer- tain degree Of regularity, Men. who were proficient in this humble and necessary employment in the nine, ] ties, now no longer have the time for il, Wives also lack the time.

 A step toward state control Of automobile traffic was taken at the last Legislature when municipal boards were bercft of the right to enact ordinances for control of traf- fic, this right being vested by the state in police departments. The State Highway Department has a proposal ready 10 give it power to designate boulcyards through cities regardless of local desires in the premises. If such q law were passed cities would lose control over their streets by just that much. In some respects they already have lost con- siderable control.
 The last Legislature passed law giving the Public Utilities Commis- sion control over taXicabs: and from that moment on cities lost control over the cabs, just as they have lost control over the trolley companies within their borders. Today, when ever the city has q discussion with the trolley company over trolley or bus traffic, even in the case of such mild discussion as the substitution
 or buses for trollcys. it is necessary 10 get permission from the r. L. C. The city cannot tell the trolley com- pany to tear up unused rails without first gaining permission from that body, Even the inauguration of new routes must first gain such approval. Many of the state officials who gain in power through this process are appointive. What happens, then. is that the political machine con- trolling the appointments obtains the increased power. The voters most consistently cast their ballots for the machine, and thus as consistently sign away their rights 10 run their local affairs in their own way.
 Parking problems are local prob lens and not the concern of the state. Neither the public nor the commercial interests of q munich paIity are likely 10 gain from state control of parking. How would the state satisfy the conflicting interests ! in city, which on the one side is composed of the purchasers of merchandise who cannot find places 10 park their cars while shopping, and on the other side the merchants who have found through experience that parking laws restrict or diminish his business? Human in- genuity IS baffled to solve this prob lem. The state, if it obtained con- troI over parking, would solve it by issuing q fiat and letting those who protest go hang. That IS one way 10 solve q problem, but surely 1t does not take the interests of those most yitally concerned into consideration
 Meanwhile the political interests of the state who favor more state con- i trol over municipal matters are among the most vocIfcrous in de-
 claiming against an increase of fed cral control in state affairs.

are a plethora of establishments in the increased cus- toners may not be enough to make everybody engaged in the business as happy as they would prefer to be.
 Women, too, have contributed to the demand for cleaning facilities. Feminine garments nowadays may not weigh much but they need con- stant attention to look pretty. In spite of all the labor saving machinery for the homes that have been invented and are in use, women cannot be expected to have the time to attempt q tussle with the rcfinements of feminine rcGalia. It is much easier and satisfactory 10 have that work done at the establishments made and operated for the purpose. That helps business. But as previously men toned, there is competition aplonty,
 AS in barberinS and restaurant operation, competition in the dry cleaning business is not only the life of trade but the only fly in the oint- mcnt of prosperity, We wish all Of them well, feeling confident that some day the supply will catch up with the demand or the demand with the supply, or whatII you have.

WHO RUNS THE COVER RNMENT?

One frequently hears the remark that the interests run the country and that the people merely vote as a matter of course. Unfortunately there is much evidence that popular control of the functions of the gov ernnent is not ideal.
 Who writes inc tariff for in stance? Newspaper editors the cOun- try over are almost q unit in holding that the present tariff hoisting is unpopular and opposed 10 what the masses of the people would desire. Never in the history of corporations were they more prosperous.
