The Efficiency Expert.

The efficiency expert is worse than
the statistician but he belongs to the
same breed. He will tell you that
if a farmers boy can pick six quarts
of cherries in an hour, and, a girl
five quarts. the two of them will
pick eleven quarts. But any farmer
knows that the two of them together
will not pick any.

~ Psalm 10, quoting
V4SsSw The heavens declare
the glory of God; and
the armament showeth His handi-
work. Day unto day uttereth
speech, and night unto night
shOweth knowledge. There is no
speech nor language, where their
voice is not heard. Their line is
gone out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the
world.
In them hath he set a taber-
nacle for the sun, which is as a
bridegroom coming out Of his
chamber, and rejOiceth as a
strong man to run a race. His
going forth is from the end of
the heaven, and his circuit unto
the ends of it: and there is moth
ing hid from the heat thereof.
The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul: the testi-
mOny of the Lord is sure, making
wise the simple. The statutes of
the Lord are right, rejoicing the
heart: the commandment of the
Lord is pure, enlightening the
eyes. The fear of the Lord is
clean, enduring forever; the judg-
ments of the Lord are true and
righteous altogether.
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. The same
was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by Him;
and without Him was not any
thing made that was made. In
Him was life; and the life was
the light of men. And the light
: shineth in darkness and the
darkness comprehended it not

the computation Of percentage return
on investment. It involves the waste
and duplication resulting from the OPP
Grafton Of two competing street car
lines, these expenditures tending to in
crease operating cost and reduce re-
turns. 1t involves the question of why
the public, which owns the streets,
should be called upon to bolster the
returns not only Of the company that
happens to be losing patronage, but
must also add to the returns of the
company that b gaining revenue. 1t
involves the question of convenience to
patrons and the added cost to passen-
gers for transfer from one line to
another when by rights they should be
called upon to pay for merely one con-
tinuous ride.
The Public Utilities Commission
should proceed with revaluation, not
as move directed toward setting aside
the new fares necessarily, but as a
common sense thing to do. There
should be generally accepted rate
paSe Ior the TWO lines. Next, IL should
examine carefully tie various rerout-
ing proposals that were brought up
during the fare hearings, and discover
whether changes can be made that will
add to the convenience of the pas
sengers. At the same time, 1t should
examine thoroughly the schedules of
the companies. and order better serv-
ice during the rush hours. Finally,
it should be prepared to push the merg-
er proposal at the next session of Con-
gress, and write that merger proposal

action precipitated the recall movement,
which has resulted in a ma ority OF 81 900
in a total vote of more than 10000,
the largest ever polled in special cleo
ton.
A sinister happening marked the end
OF election day in Detroit. Gerald
Buckley, announcer for q local radio
station. who had conducted q forum
on the recall campaign and had him
self vigorously taken part as a cam
paigner against Mayor Bowles, was
shot to death in hotel lobby by three
gunner, who fired many bullets into his
body and then fed without recognition
Buckley, 1t seems, had been threatened
in the course Of the campaign. The
coincidence Of his murder with the
announcement of an adverse majority
against the mayor, whom he had stoutly
fought in the recall canvass, must in
escapably react strongly against Bowles
in the later election, even though there
may not be the slightest ground for
suspecting him Of completely in or
knowledge of the crime.
Detroit has been lately developing
gang condition similar to that which
has existed in Chicago. Racketeering
has been in evidence, gangsters have
been slain by rivals, the city, indeed, has
been In a state of terror for some
months. and the dismissal of the chief

Defense and Peace.

With that tenseness of precise ex-
preston which distinguishes his public
utterances. President Hoover's final
word on the naval treaty goes straight
TO its point. 1T will secure the full de-
tense of the United States" he says,
land it will mark further long step
toward lifting the burden of militarism
from the backs of mankind and speed
the march forward of world peace"
To epitomize the plan and purpose of
the London pact more graphically is
not easy.
MIR. Hoover's farewell address on the
treaty opens with a paean of "satisfac-
ton" that 1t received "at all steps the
united support of both our political
parties" Later in the day, for the bene-
At of the inevitable and unacceptable
"talkies," in the east room of the White
House, the President spoke again of the
spirit of n-partisanship," in which
the treaty was negotiated at London
and ratified in the Senate. That was a
deserved tribute to Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the Democratic member Of
the American delegation at the confer
ence. and to Senator Swanson Of Vir-
ginia, ranking Democratic member of
the Senate Foreign Relations and Naval
Affairs Committees, who delivered the
principal Senate speech in favor Of rati-
flcation. No less tribute does Mr..
Hoover intend to pay to the eighteen
Democrats-out of twenty, present and
voting--who supported the pact. The
whole proceeding is welcome portent
that, now and then, politics is adj
tourned at the seafront and that we
are capable, as a Nation, Of thinking
beyond the twelve-mile limit.
Perhaps the most striking passage in
the presidential treaty manifesto Is
the reference to imperialism" I'VE
should, by this act of willingness to
Join with others in limiting armament"
Mr.. Hoover points out, shave dismissed
from the mind of the world any notion
that the United States entertains ideas
of aggression, imperial power or ex-
ploitation of foreign nations" An Un-
Gle Sam bent on marauding his way
through this or the other hemisphere
does not voluntarily shackle his power
for domination. That is not the way
eonquerors. subjugators or international
DULLES would go about it. 1t is the way
pursued by people and government
which want peace, with defense.
That path the United States, the
world now knows, is the only one we are
determined to tread.

ItalY'S Disaster

Italy has again suffered severely
from the natural forces of disruption.
Three earth shocks in the southern por-
ton Of the peninsula have taken q
heavy toll Of lives, at least one hundred
dead being already reported, with many
hundreds of injuries. The death toll
may mount to much higher figure.
Accounts of the disaster are incomplete
owing to the severing Of all communica-
tions and the difficulty of surveying the
situation. Relief expeditions have gone
south from Naples, itself severely in
jured by the quakes, with a sad roll Of
victims.
From time immemorial Italy has been
the scene of such catastrophes. Earth
ouakes and volcanic eruptions have
taken tremendous toll. Vesuvius has in
the course of twenty centuries scored
its victims by the hundreds of thou
sands. Etna, on the island of Sicily,
has added terribly to the total. Quakes
without the accompaniment of eruptions
have spread a network of ruin through

disturbances come, and, familiar though
they become, they are always terrifying
In this latest visitation, which occurred
at night, the people were thrown into
panic by the falling of walls and the
cutting off of all lights.
Relief measures are always promptly
instituted In Italy whenever the earth
quakes. Within few hours from the
first shock Of this latest visitation
equipment for the succor Of the injured
and the care Of the homeless was on its
way into the stricken regions. In pre-
vious disasters where the toll of death
and destruction has been exceptionally
heavy, financial and material aid has
been sent from this country. II the
present catastrophe proves to have been
of magnitude calling for such assist
ance, 1t will undoubtedly be forthcoming
upon the first sound of a call for help.

REGULATION and Fares.

The Public Utilities Commission
must make up its mind soon on re-
valuing the car lines. In his decision
on the rate case, Justice Bailey gave
what might be interpreted as pretty
broad hint that revaluation should be
ordered. IF the commission should
order a revaluation," he said, ''as it
unquestionably has the power to do, it
would have the power also to pass upon
the reasonableness of the rate of fare
fixed by this court, in view of the new
values fixed by such retaliation"
The commission, by all means,
should proceed with a revaluation of
the car lines. The valuations upon
which the new fares have been based
have not been accepted by the Public
Utilities Commission. The matter was
held in allegiance while the car COM
panies tried their luck in the courts.
Now that the court has spoken, there Is
NO further use in delay.
Retaliation, however, should not be
regarded by the interested public as a
sure method of reducing street car fares.
A new valuation, even II 1t Topped OF
several millions, would not necessarily
mean that reduction in fares would
follow. If 81 per Snt of the street car
passengers buy tokens under the rates
Of fare effective today. the Washington
Railway & Electric Co. has estimated
that It's rate OF return will be 625 per
cent on valuation OF $4,000, 900. If
90 per cent Of the patrons buy tokens
the return will drop to 6.04, and ii IS
per cent buy tokens II will be around
$40 for the w. r. z. and 488 per
cent for the Capital Traction Co.
In the celebrated United Railways
case, the United States Supreme Court
held that Elm the light of recent deci-
SONS Of this court and other Federal
decisions, 1t is not certain thai rates
securing return OF 7I2 per cent or
even per cent on the value of the
property would not be necessary TO
avoid confiscation," and in the same
opinion it was held that return of
6.26 per cent lis clearly inadequate" in
80 far as that return applied to the
United Railways & Electric Co. OF
Baltimore.
If the valuation OF the two car lines
Is exorbitant, and under 1t return
for one of something over 6 per cent
and a return for the other Of something
less than per cent is received. It is zoo
much to believe that q reduced value
as found by the Public Utilities Com
mission, would in turn increase the
rate of return beyond what the Supreme
Court has declared Is the measure o.
t.just compensation" i.

Detroit's Recall Election.

For the first time a large American
city has recalled" its municipal ex-
ecutive. Elected mayor of Detroit in
November by small majority after a
bitter campaign, Charles Bowles, reform
candidate, is now by majority OF
nearly 81 900 recalled from his ONCE.
BY a peculiar provision OF the law he
he win remain as the municipal execu-
tive for thirty days and will then be
automatically candidate at a special
election. If defeated, he will, OF course,
leave the ofice and the successful
candidate will take charge.
Mayor Bowles entered ONCE with the
support Of all the reform elements, but
he Immediately alienated them by or
ganizing his administration in man
ner to indicate favor 10 the gamblers
and other factors OF social life in the
twilight zone Of the law Feeling
against him grew steadily until q few
weeks ago, when on his return from .
trip he dismissed the commissioner OF
police, who had, In his absence. started

ments and other illegal resorts. This
