Trimming Bewhiskered Salaries.
(New York Herald Tribune. )

(NeW York Herald TrlbuneD
 The nation generally we believe will applaud the ruling of the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration that railroads applying for loans must re- duce the salaries of their officers It is only fair to say that most of them have done so to limited extent and that in few cases they have even anticipated the cuts now decreed by the R. F. C. But there be little question that these salaries on the average still reflect the heroic age when to run railroad considered fuedal distnc- tion deserving exaggerated reward.
 The occasion of the ruling the grant of loan of $23 100000 to the Southern Pacific Company A report to the Interstate Commerce Commission last June showed that this company paid the chair of it's board S135 900 year. cut from previous high of $150O00; that it paid its vice-charman $76 500 and it's president $90000 both also representing 10 per cent reductions. What the plain citizen will note is that each of these gentlemen even on the basis of a reduced wage, receiving in June 1882 more than the President of the United States. list of twenty salaries paid by other roads at the same time shows eight of them in excess of that which goes with the occupancy of the White House
 Perhaps the latter is not just criterion. Ger tainy it bears remote relation to the value of Presidents services. Yet it is arguable that if he is able and willing to get along it there is little reason why railroad executives whose properties are not earning their fixed charges should demand more; why in fact, they should not be content with less.
 In any event, the R. F C. has made it a condi- ton of the Southern Pacific loan that any salary heretofore above $100,000 shall be reduced 60 per cent; those between $500O0 and $100,O00, 50 per cent between $25,OO and $50OOO 25 per cent; be- tween $10000 and $25,O0O, 25 per cent and between $4.800 and $10,000, 10 per cent. Counted in these reductions to be those already made, which somewhat cushions the drop. And Ca further con- solation and probably also strong incentive to good management they to remain in effect only during the continuance of the R. F. C. loan "or until the road is earning all fixed charges" "It la Chairman Jones's statement, ito impose similar conditions in all future loans to railroads or other corporations paying excessive salaries" In the time Congress is fiddling with the
 idea of limiting by statute the salaries paid by bor rowers from the R. F. c. Why not leave this task to the R. F. c. itself, which in the instance cited seems to have exercised both frmness and judg- ment?

 "Yes." said Sue abruptly. Good night"

 "I shall try to see that Miss Tal- ly is in no danger. Goodnight, MT. Sundean."

HISTORY STILL IN THE MAKING.

On his return here from an extended stay Tn the National capital recently Commissioner flory oi the Department of Agriculture spoke of the thrill of being in Washington and watching the making of new history Readers of the newspapers of today also get some of that emotion as they digest their contents. For observer not even the most casual can fail to grasp that momentous questions are being worked out. The times are most eVent1u' though the events themselves may lack the color and drama of such an that between 1914 and 1918 Instead of the clash of armies on fields of martial combat, there is the struggle of new ideas against the old ones, new practices agalnst od customs and old systems that can no longer render the services that the public must have.
 Too long have the problems engendered by the great progress of industry and of the sciences gone neglected We have seen our greatest lnoustry agriculture go practically bankrupt millions Of our people become the objects of charity public and private while we defed the law of progress by cnging to the outworn laws of a generation in which the ox-cart and the pony express were more common than the arplane and the radio
 Few of us understand all of the steps that are being taken and fewer still can say with certainty in what measure they will succeed. In the working out of any system for which there is no precedent there must be experimentation And President Roosevelt has said frankly that of the measures he has proposed are experiments. Some will fail as is inevitable in any system having the human equation In their stead others will have to bt tried out This, too is part of the history making of today. For those who have the eyes to set understandingy, it has all the thrill of armed combat and as few armed combats ever are, it i real test of the nations fitness to survive ane move ahead to finer, better days.

The Nature of the News.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Even very few years ago the of the news profoundly different from that of today. This change is most astonishing if takes the pains to contrast Enquirer of decade ago with one published currently. The news has changed because public interests have changed and because the world itself is changed
 The sensational stories today are not all sen sational" in the old meaning of the term They do not at all deal with crime scandal or indeed with personal affairs of any sort Many are &C., counts of intricate economic problems and far reaching measures to advance the public welfare. decade ago such stories would have been stamped technical" and either thrown away by the editors or relegated to a minor place in the financial pages
 The world is smaller today, and it's people are Icognzant that they must inform themselves of com- mon problems if they to protect their own
 interests. Thus the curiosity of the average reader is shared between stories of human interest" and stories of humanity itself. He no longer is wholly concerned with the achievements of an
 individual SO much as the mistakes and efforts of
 industries and governments, as they apply to his | life. In similar measure the scope of the news has broadened. There longer geographical limi- tations for the news. Excepting the temporary period of the War, when all eyes turned to Europe, American newspaper readers in the past have been engrossed in their own country and their own cities Today, much of the vital news comes under foreign date line. It is nearly mean ingful that which from Washington or Columbus originates in Cincinnati.
 It follows that newspapers not always easy reading. Their subject matter is complicated and sometimes abstruse. There is a limit to the sim ground for complaint if your mornings reads somewhat like textbook in economics. That is tht sort of world you live in. Those the sort o
 problems you're up against.

SEAPLANES IN FISHERIES CONTROL

British Columbia, with it's thousands of miles Of coastne, almost identical in character with that of Southeast Alaska, and a salmon fishery of the same kind has proved by the experience of several years that aircraft is more suited generally to enforcement of regulations than water craft It has several major advantages that outweigh some considerations that might favor vessels.
 One or two seapanes can patrol the entire coastline section thoroughly than whole fleet of small craft. They can and do cover fishing districts effectively. The cost of operation is in favor of the planes rather than the boats, due to the fact that of the former does many times the work of the latter Aerial patrol is more effi- cent than water patrol Persons inclined to ignore regulations slow to do so with seaplane in the district. Moving at rate of speed that gives nc time for volator to remove evidences of his viola ton of the law, it naturally prevents infractons. Just how this type of control is regarded is evidenced by recent comment made in the Daily Empire published at Prince Rupert, which said:
 Seaplanes have demonstrated their
 fulness in fisheries patrol work in Canada
 and they will again be used this year on
 the Pacific Coast.
 As a class, the commercial fishermen
 of Canada respect the fishing regulations
 but there is always the possibility of course,
 that someone may prove an exception to the
 rule and the seaplane, swift, coming sud-
 denly out of the sky, is an effective means / of checking anything of the kind or of
 catching the offender. Last year the planes
 utilized in the fisheries patrol in British Co.,
 lumbia duty in the air for 275 hours
 and 25 minutes. That considerable
 shorter flying time than was required in the
 previous year, and much below the maximum
 of 443 hours and 40 minutes in the 1930
 season, but in 1892 the lessened intensive
 ness of fishing operations which was the
 natural consequence of unfavorable world
 market conditions, made is unnecessary to
 have the seaplanes in the air for as long
 time as in other years. Care is always
 taken in every year, of course, to see that
 the seaplane patrol is employed only when
 and where it is absolutely needed, and in this
 way the expense is kept at minimum.
 Undoubtedly this system could be used to ad vantage in Alaska. If, and when, Congress turn over the administration of local fisheries to tn Territory to administer local authorities should stud it carefully. Many thousands of dollars most cer tainly could be saved from present administrativ costs by its adoption.
