If3 THE RAILROADS SHOULD
STOP?

A business man of Boice City,
Oklahoma. writes as follows:
II the railroads of our great
country should fail to function,
what would happen?
The railroad is one of the chief
industries of the United States.
1t has followed the trail blazer:
it has played its part in building
empires. 1t has brought closer
together the east aud the west,
the north and the south. 1t has
spent billions of dollars in build
log lines. terminals. yards and
various other improvements. 1t
has given employment to many
of our people ia its construction,
maintenance and operation
Each year it pays hundreds OF
millions of dollars in taxes.
This great industry is now in
distress and will cease to func
ton unless the people awaken to
their duty and responsibility aud
enact measures which will put it
on q basis of equality in taxation
and regulation with competing
forms of transportation.
We 6nd the freight truck, pas
senger bus and government sub
sidized waterways in operation,
in competition with railroads.
Isit fair competition? Who
pays for the building of roads
and waterways? Did the freight
trucks, passenger buses. barge
and steamship lines build them ?
How much taxes do they pay
toward building and maintaining
them? What share do the prop
erty owners pay? What share
do the railroads pay?
Should the railroads cease to
operate, and they muss unless
we throw our loyal support to
them, what will become of many
Of the various industries? Which
will it affect most? What will
happen to the farmer; the mer
chant; the stockman; the manu-
facturer and various others
Should they fail, every indi
vidual will feel the lasting and
far reaching effect. l. is time
that We become alarmed. Is it
not time for US to wage cam
paign for, and periodically stand
by, our railroads?

OUR NATIONAL PARKS

More than 25O,OOO 900 persons
have visited the nations parks
and monuments since 1916. &C.
cording to reports from the
United States Division of Parks.
The number has increased each
succeeding year with the excep.
tion of one, when the world was
at war.
A few years ago it was almost
as much work as pleasure, at
least for the driver. when a trip
to the parks was included in the
vacation itinerary. The roads
were rough. dusty and filled with
trouble. A great many places
were inaccessible to automobiles
and it was necessary to reach
them by foot or pack train, con.
sequently the visitors must have
been largely adults.
Today our parks truly deserve
the name of Fairgrounds. Each
year has seen new roads built
and new places made available
to the motorist, until it is now
possible to reach almost every
section over smooth highways,
which are we'll cared for and
made dustless by oiipH.
A visit to any one of the pa.
tional parks and monuments is
an education as we'll as a pleas
ure and should prove to be at.
tractive to more and more people
each year as long as the present
progressive policy OF adding new
oiled roads is continued. The
cost has been more than repaid
by the benefit which has been
gained.

NEW YORE.-A member of the

Tense First, would say that the
States should be able to take care of
their own affairs.
My attitude is also that, since the
failure of the Federal Government 70
enforce prohibition, the Federal law
doesn't mean as much as it used TO and
might be equally as ineffective in curb
ing kidnapping.
Jury Failed to Convict.
When I was growing up, the Federal
law meant something. 1t was generally
felt that if Federal authorities got after
you, you might as we'll give up. l don't
believe people feel that way now.
With all the kidnapping and crime
generally that has been reported lately
it seems to me that prosecutors must
get responsible men to serve on Juries
Many men who can't spare time for
jury service do find time for much less
important things.
A jury failed to convict the first man
tried in connection with my abduction
He is Paul Scheidt, who confessed that
he rented to the kidnapers the filthy
place where was held two days while
former Senator James A. Reed and
other friends tried to effect my release
Paul Scheidt admitted he knew his
house was to be used to hold some
one who would be kidnapped Yet the
Jury could not reach a verdict. To
thwart such things as this we must
have juries that will convict persons
involved in any way in kidnapping.

abduction Turns All
u. S. Into a Nation of
AmateurDetectiUes.

BY the Associated Press
HOPEWELL, N. j., March 4.-The
Lindbergh kidnapping has turned the
United States into a Nation of amateur
detectives, all eager to help, but the
promising leads and clues turned up to
date are few.
Among them are:
The Ladder.
A newly built pine affair, in three
sections. Two sections were built by
an expert carpenter, the third hastily
constructed makeshift. The middle Sec
ton Is split and broken.
The Footprints
Seemingly made by stockinged feet.
One set of prints were so small they
at first were thought those of woman,
later adjudged those of a man.
The Fingerprints.
Two vague smudges on the nursery
window pane. Perhaps too vague to
help.
The Notes.
Three out of nearly 2,O0O commune
cations are taken most seriously. The
first ransom demand, contents guarded
from the public, was found in the nur-
sery. The second. postmarked New
York and asking 1000. said, I'VE will
forward instructions" and warned Col.
Lindbergh not to open your trap to a
living soul" A third note, received yes
terday, was kept secret It's handWrit-
ing was similar to first. Among the
stacks of other communications, one
postmarked South Orange, said: Baby
will die"
Time OF Crime.
Kidnapers, apparently with intimate
knowledge of Lindbergh's movements,
timed visit perfectly when baby was I'M
guarded for short period. Lindberghs,
breaking a custom, had remained at
Hopewell two days longer than expected.
How did the kidnapers know?
The Sea Clue
Rum runner reported he heard baby
cry on fast 30-foot cruiser off Jersey
Coast.
The Car.
Description apparently unknown to
police. Various alarms sent out for
cars bearing adults and babies. Phila-
delphia police asked Pittsburgh authori-
ties to arrest woman In car bearing
Kentucky license.
