The World and All
TO A PEssINIsrIc CORRESPONDENT
b. Charles Y. Driseen

Irwin T. BeEifield, Of Zsnssville, Ohio, takes me -
task for being too optimistic about this country AM
tn. ways Of its inhabitants. Mr.. Bonifield quotes sorc
eff my phrases about Americas being the happiess
country in the world. and so on.
Then he points cut the very obvious truth thai
there is much unhsppiness and "cuss.dn.ssr In this
country.
He instances the case Of a man who mistreats q
parent who has sacrificed all for him.
He says that One-third Of the people are distracted
one-hslf Of the time because thrp can't make ends
meet.
He says the toiling. struggling masses make the
world 20 round, and that they have to carry ths
hirher-ups on their shoulders.
He pictures men in tenement houses, staring at
the floor in blank despair.
He tells of worthy men who walk miles in search
OF work. and find it net.
He quotes a Zsrssvill. merchant as saying that this
is a ~erId Of hard-up pepcle.
He ventures the opinion that Their, i. NOR. suffer
ing now than ever before.
But ! can't take you through tn. whole sade litany
Of the woes Of mankind, as presented By my pessiris-
tic correspondent in GAINESVILLE.
Let me admit. at once, that there il much Of sad
ness. disease. pObsrty. unemployment, starvation.
crime, evil and stupidity in America.
! could write about that side Of life. if I wanted
TO. | have seen II. | have covered police, hospitals,
charities and morgues as regular daily grind in blk
cities, as a newspaper reporter. | have seen crime
raising its ugly head out Of the nire Of tenement pow
erty, ard I have heard crared fathers confessing to
judges that they were driven TO Robbery in order 70
buy milk for hungry babies.
Perhaps I have seen NOR. o. this kind Of liz. than
Mr.. Bonificld Of GAINESVILLE has seen.
Fut | have been impressed mostly by the baauty
Of life. | hsv. been most surprised by the honest
and integrity Of men and wcmen in all conditions, Of
life.
I have been struck by the circumstance that life
ia more comfortable and more safe in North America
than anywhere else on THU planet.
I'm willing TO let Theodore Dresser write about the
dirt and crime. Perhaps my correspondent would
rather read Dresser. Well, there's no disputinE about
tastes.

porations CT the country might emulate with profit TO
themselves and the territories they serve. Not thsr
the Pennsylvsnia is alone or even a pioneer in this
field Of expansion. A generation ago the New Haven
invested heavily in trolley lines and coast steamship
routes and at present is operating buses in connection
with branch lire traffic. Other roads have dspartsi
from the traditional assumption that all their facili-
ties must run on 4 track. But TO judge from ats an.
nounesnsnts the Pennsylvania is entering upon the
coordination Of the various means Of modern locono-
tics on a scale not hitherto attempted.
As in the case Of its air-rsil service, II evidently
intends Offering through passengers the opportunity
Of travelling by rail at night and By bus in the day
time. Such an arrangement ought to prove attractive
to those who can afford to sacrifice A few hours for
the purpose Of enjoying the scenery and getting :
closer glimpse Of tke country they are passing through.
It il planned also to substitute buses for train service
on branch lines Of light traffic, to use them for local
service on important stretches Of main line and to
extend bus service into territory not now directly
tapped by a railroad.
Such a program is symptomatie not only of .hs
dawn of a new era in transportation but Of a DISPOSE
tion among our more progressive railroad executives,
instead Of resisting the revolution, 70 meet il more
thar half way.

Aviation Development

One Of the most encouraging factors in connection
with the development Of commercial aviation Ia the
ssct that there is no lack or capital. Financial leaders
In all parts Of the United States are investing heavily
In ~airplare manufacture and development cf ~sirpor,s
and air lines. In this respect aerial transportation has
. distinct advantage which neither rail nor automobile
transportation ~postessed during the days Of early de-.
velepment.
Hundreds Of rillions of dollsrs acre expended m
1925 in development Of ~sirroris for air mail, psss.n.
ger and express lines. and additional millions ver.
invested in sirplane manufacture. The Air Travel
Ccmrsny, a Delaware corporation. organized in 1928.
which has increased its output Of planes from i6 IN
1925 70 1854 in 1927 and $50 in 1895, Is typical Of the
success az these corporations.
A financial statement o. this corporation. published
recently in the New York Hersld-Tribun. shows It's
net sales in 1928. we're s5sase. and last year its busi-
meas had increased to s2.22a,sie. The company pro-
ducss s~ingls-motor planes ranging ia price from $3.50
20 sls,50o, in addition TO standard model thres-plsce
hi-rianes and four and sixeabin noncompliance.
Thus far there have been no large dividends paid
b. either the manufacturing or air lines corporations.
practically all returns going into development, but this
has not discouraged investors who can vision the
rapid expansion Of these industries and the profits of
the future.
The coming year will be marked by rapid expansion
parts Of the country development Of ~airrorts will be
rapid. and leaders in the industry predict that hsfor.
TIE close Of 1880 there will be few cities in the country
with more than 10000 population which will not have
sirrorts on regular schedule lines.

The reaPrortionrert bill, which has already passed
the hcuss, is an insurance policy for the constitutional
rights Of the American people.
The obligation to count the people by a census sv-
cry ten years and then to resppor;ion the house OF
representatives in response thereto is the first man
date in the first article of the constitution.
Congress faithfully responded to this duty from
1890 to 1910. Then came the multiplying interluds.
There has been no srportionmest since 1911.
The country has grown from $1,000. 900 people 10
on estimated lc2.0oo.oo0 people in 1880. But the ssrae
old distribution 81 seats in congress persists. Not
only has ID been an ugly defiance Of a constitutional
mandate, II also has specifically viesimiled great states
and great Constituencies which have been robbed u
their just vote in government.
II Is grossly un-Amsricsr. II is q travesty upon
representative institutions. One congressman repre-
ssnts 100000 people in California, as a result. where.
as whole states with no mere people hav. as many as
seven congressman.
In 1850 Michigan will count 100000 people in but
three Of her congressional distriets-sn average Of
more than 100000 20 q district-whsrsas many another
district in other sections q the country counts but
10000 people.
Such discrimination il fatal poison TO the Eenirs
o. American Institutions. worse-it IL fatsful Jeopardy
for the spirit OF the constitution.
The house validated the 1920 census in 1871. Bu.
when il reached the senate il was PirscH-holed. I:
was not embraced; il was enbalmed.
