THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING

If any justification is needed for the
trend Of the electric industry toward
GENERALIZATION and mass production, it
is found in the improved service at
lower rates that is now provided in
most localities.
Electricity lights the home cooks
the food furnishes heat for the iron,
motive power for the vacuum cleaner,
and does multitude of other tasks.
It is always at the beck and call of
anyone. Its production and distri-
button necessitates the building of
plants and facilities costing billions.
To keep 1T going demands the services
of hundreds of thousands of people.
Yet the average electric bill is but a
little over three dollars month; less
than the average person spends for
candy or tobacco.
The electric industry is controlled
by laws and regulatory bodies working
in the public interest. The companies
and their executives, know that their
future success is dependent on the
public goodwill and they are giving
every effort to honestly deserve it
through improved service at lower
cost.

SOCIALISM OR ASSASSINATION

Tales Of new Red TERROR are leak
ing out of Russia in spite of strict
censorship by Soviet government ac-
cording to Eugene ]. Young, in the
San Francisco Chronicle. In one week
dispatches list the execution of 100
people on charges of counter revo-
luton" Most of these were peasants
who, by their enterprise, had gathered
some of the worlds goods and were
unwilling to surrender their property
to the state. Others were priests and
persons who had tried to trade out
side of state cooperatives.
One dispatch lists the shooting of
is peasants without trial in one dis
trict, and the shooting of priest and
five peasants in another for agitating
against the Soviet rural policy.
1t is said that demonstrations against
the government have steadily gained
force. Many peasants are attempting
to assert individual rights. AS con-
sequence, affairs of the Soviet have
reached crisis and opposition to the
Stain regime is to be crushed with
death.
Thus goes the greatest Socialistic
experiment in world history. This was
to be the perfect state, fair and all
where all would be happy and prosper
Gus. Apparently happiness and pros
perity must be maintained by legal
murder of Russian citizens under q
government policy of socialism OF

THE CHANGING AGRICULTURAL
CIVILIZATION

The greatest industrial movement
now underway is probably farm
identification on nationwide basis.
A comparatively few years ago farm
identification was an attractive theory.
Experimental farms were set up. Pro-
blems of cost and upkeep were solved.
Intensive tests were conducted to show
the progressive farmer that with cleo
tricity he could do his work more
efficiently, in less time and at lower
cost.
Now there are over half million
electrified farms in the United States
an advance of 200 per cent in five
years. The rate of increase steadily
gains. In zones within reach or
central power station service lines are
being built as fast as circumstances
permit. In other more isolated areas
vast number of individual power
plants are coming into use.
In the beginning farm identification
was only considered in terms of light.
1t has been found, however, that
lighting is but one of the potentialities
the greatest field for farm power lies
i'll its application to machinery. Ac-
cording to a recent survey, steadily
increasing number o farms are using
great quantities of power-from three
to 20 thousand kilowatt hours year.
Good roads and the automobile have
given the farmer physical contact with
the outside world. The radio and tele-
phone have given him communication.
Electricity is the one other agency
needed to raise farm life to standards
| of modern urban life.
The great agricultural revolution
has started. We are approaching a
new era in the development of rural
civilization with the farm and farm
home on higher social and CONNER
cial level than it has ever been before.

EXAMPLE OF CRIME PREVENTION

The railroads of the United States
have set an example of crime pre-
vention that might well be emulated
by municipal and state governments.
During the eight years from 1920 to
1923 crime, in general, increased all
over the nation, Yet, in that period,
losses due to robbery on railroad pro-
perty were reduced SO per cent, from
over 10 million to less than million
annually. 1t is expected that further
improvement will be effected during
the current year.
The efficiency of the railroad police

PROTECT THE NINETY PER CENT

Our ever-increasing automobile ac-
cident record is one of Americas
greatest problems.
Last year 27,5OO people were killed
in auto accidents, of whom 10000 were
pedestrians. During last August the
average daily toll was 81 lives day
the highest in our history,
1t is said that 80 per cent Of &C
cidents are caused by less than 10 per
cent of drivers, Until we strengthen
and enforce our laws, to protect the
competent driver by excluding the
reckless from the highways. our
terrible annual toll of automobile
deaths must continue to increase
How much longer shall the careless
reckless or incompetent driver be al
lowed free use of the public highways

every other motoristp
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1929-12-12

is given additional proof by the fact
that during the last few years, they
have averaged 81 convictions to each
100 arrests In comparison to this,
the ratio in many of our large cities
is about one to ten.
The success of the railroad police is
due to the fact that, following the eX-
ample of the United States Secret
Service, they consider no case closed
until it is cleaned up Criminals are
pursued relentlessly until captured.
AS result, such gentry as card sharp
ers, confidence men and baggage
thieves have been practically driven
from the railroads.

Here is the simplest of all methods
of crime prevention-to make crime
Improbable by swift apprehension of
criminals. The underworld has little
stomach for its pursuits when prison
cell beckons. If all police depart
ments adopted this system life and
property in our great cities might be-
come relatively safe, Crime, nurtur-
ed by our superabundance of laws and
political graft, will continue to grow
until q new leaf is turned.

The victory of Walter Hagen
yesterday with the phenomenal
score of 292 for the long Muirfield
course. and the blanket finish of
the American professionals who won
the first three prizes and eight of
the first 10 places, left no doubt as
to the superiority of the invaders.
Hagen 5 76-6775-75-292 was the
third lowest score ever recorded in
British open, the first and second
being held by Bobby Jones, also of
the United States, who won in
1926 with total of POI and re-
peated in 1927 with an amazing 80
over the famous st. Andrews links.
1t WAS Hagen s second victory in
the event in two years, his thild in
six years and his fourth in eight
yearc.
Before the war the British open
was strictly British affair so far
as the winner was concerned.
The spell was broken in 1927.
Jock Hutchinson, an American but
British born, tied with Roger
Wethered, English amateur, at 296
that year at st. Andrews and won
the SO hole playoff, $50 to l59.
