Unified Control.

Unified control, through govern

portation system Of the United States,
rail, highway, water, air, pipe line,
power line and radio is reported to be
the object of President elect Roosevelt.
At present, where regulation exists at
all, 1t Is handled by separate and "in-
dependent" governmental agencies. the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
Shipping Board, the Federal Power
Commission, the Radio Commission and
the Department Of Commerce. If all
these agencies Of transportation and
communication were owned by the Fed
eral Government, the matter might be
much simplified. Doubtless under those
conditions there would be . single De-
partment Of Transportation. though In
view Of the failure of the Government
to set up single department or bu-
reau of public works this may be a
wrong impression With railroads, the
buses, the shipping, the radio. the

A Hero of the Sea.

Any story of rescue at sea has an
attraction for readers in general and
for readers who have travelled abroad In
particular. In the latter class there
will be many who, having memories Of
great storms and nerve-tensins expert
ences on the Atlantic or Pacific, will
be in position to appreciate to the full
the narrative of Capt. Giles c. Sted-
mans timely relief Of the survivors Of
the British freighter Exeter City.
Only thirty-five years Of age, q mere

man has been 50 thoroughly schooled
In maritime tradition that he knew with

With all possible speed. But even when

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
a pesSinniSfic Rarin>

A Pessimistic Recipe.
When you feel your fingers tingling with
literary shiver.
And you long to taste the pleasures
of renown;
When you wish to utter thoughts and
set this sluggish world a-quiver,
And electrify the country and the
town,
Do not think to win your way by
gathering stores Of erudition,
Nor by weaving plots that picture
human fate;
You'll discover, In contrition, you're
regarded with suspicion
As a prating, posing pedant, out of
date.
But, on the other hand, you'll meet with
success surprising
BY looking to your personal career.
A political pretense may serve as first
rate advertising,
And divorces are effective, though
they're dear.
Don't attempt to dole out wisdom like
prophet or . cadi;
II you do your cherished work IS sure
to fail.
But assassinate . lady or to anything
that's shady,
And whatever you may write will have
q sale.

exploit modestly takes no personal
credit for the achievement. Plenty Of

Four men were lost before Capt.
Stedman was summoned. Capt. Ernest
Lesg, his third ofilcer. . seaman and
an apprentice had been swept over
board by the first devastating wave

have acquaintance with the brother

with the devotion to duty which char
acterizes the entire fraternity.

His name brought new courage to the

phrase their spokesman used In speak

portation. It has proved . huge Job.
The commission has had placed under
its Jurisdiction also the pipe lines In
interstate business. The real problem
is whether any single agency Of the
Government. IN enlarged and glorified
Interstate Commerce Commission. -
has been suggested, could efnciently
operate If its powers Of regulation were
extended to all these systems and meth
DDS Of transportation and communica-
ton while they are privately owned.
Undoubtedly there is wisdom in the
proposal that governmental regulation
of one system Of transportation or
communication should take into con-
sideration what is done in the way
Of regulation Of other and competing
systems. The complaint Of the rail-
roads, for example, has been that, while
they are under the most rigid regula-
ton, there Is no effective regulation Of
the charges made by motor trucks and
busses and by the water carriers. At
present there Is no law for the regu-
lation OF motor transportation in inter-
state commerce, although it has been
repeatedly urged upon the Congress.
II all these systems Of transportation
were under . single ownership, either
private or governmental. the problem
might be much simpler.
What the country needs and should
have Is the most efiicien. md reason
able system Of transporta, and COM
munication. Presumably that is what
the President-elect has in mind In the
consideration Of thi; problem. The
mere juggling Of bureaus Of the Gov
ernment and independent commissions
into single bureau, group or depart
ment might or might not serve the
best interests Of the people. Such an
agency might be inefficient because OF
its huge size and the great scope OF
the job Of regulation. On the other
hand, If 1t were possible SO to organ
ize the regulatory body as to place
responsibility and to avoid "buck
passing" with its costly delays, unified
control would have great merit, and
would open q way to deal intelligently
with the transportation and communi-
cation problems as a whole.

uniformly Democratic Congress which
will come into Office on March 4. The
decision will occasion few regrets. The
events OF the last three weeks have
made it clear that directness and firm
ness were not to be expected in con-
nection with budgetary matters in
the face of the fragile political
alignments now existing in WASH
ington. The Republican administra-
tion, while refusing to indicate
its attitude toward beer taxes, has
executed a belated swing to the sales
tax and has. through Secretary Mills
and President Hoover. launched what
appears to be partisan campaign to
put the Democrats in hole by obfus-
eating the whole budgetary problem.
Meantime, after promulgating a bud
getary plan based on beer and increased
income taxes. the Democratic party in
both houses has indicated with unmis-
taxable emphasis that it had no
stomach for the income tax feature of
its declared program. Neither party's
representatives in Congress have shown
any disposition to grapple decisively
with the economy issue Further ef-
forts to deal with the budgetary prob
lem promised nothing except an intensi-
fication of the confusion"
IL SIlOuIQ De useful, dCcOTQlng 10
the Kansas City Star Gndependent),
Ito call the attention of Democratic
members of Congress to the following
paragraph from the Democratic ma
tional platform: The Democratic
party solemnly promises by appropriate
action to put into effect the principles,
policies and reforms herein advocated,
and to eradicate the policies. methods
and practices herein condemned. We
advocate an immediate and drastic re-
duction of governmental expenditures
by abolishing useless commissions and
Offices, consolidating departments and
bureaus and eliminating extravaganza.
to accomplish saving of not less
than Is per cent in the cost of Federal
Government, and we call upon the
Democratic party in the States to make
Jealous effort to achieve proportion
ate result"
Taking a comprehensive view of the
situation, the New York Herald Tribune
independent Republican, declares:
"Retrenchment on any scale conceivable
to politics will not suffice, nor will the
addition of a few relatively painless
taxes. The situation calls for a COM
prehensive program which will include
not only savings, but searching re-
recourse to a manufactures sales tax
as one of its foundation stones. Talk
of anything less may be put down as
bedtime vaporings."
The Oakland Tribune Republican,
looks forward to "a Summer of debate
on that which. for the welfare of the
country. might better have been fin
iShed this Winter" The Minneapolis
Tribune independently concludes:
There Is obviously nothing to be
gained by backing timidly away from
the disagreeable realities which new
revenues must involve. The Democrats.
it Is clear, are still cropping about for
some painless and highly popular means
Of balancing the budget, when no such
means exist. They are badly divided
on the proposal to increase income tax
rates; they are fatty opposed to Mr..
Hoover's sales tax, and it is to be sus-
pected that they are loath to indorse,
as an alternative to these, substantial
addition to the great number of special
excises which are even now in force"

Nothing could be done about 1t.
The home garden enthusiast had to
stand by and watch Nature fool her
children once again.
the past three years; the plants should
have begun to get used to 1t by this
time.
An Interesting speculation Is this:
Suppose the weather" Is changing
after ala Even the official prognosti-
Gators, we believe, have somewhat re-
Tented In their statements that no real
change In climatic conditions has oc-
Cured
Almost every gardener honestly be-
neves that the Winters here are not as
severe as they used to be and that the
Springs are not as mild, but more In
clined to be raw.
Memories of beautiful Januaries, and
especially lovely Februaries. come to
mind of recent years.
The weather does seem to be chang
ing, at least to the lay mind. Until
recent days the officials have coun-
tered this belief by instancing certain
records kept for many years, which
tend to show that what the layman
thinks is unusual has occurred often
before.
Still, one sticks to ones perfectly
naive belief that the weather" Is
changing somewhat.
And II it does, the plants will more
or less readjust themselves to 1t.
Then what would happen If, once
they are readjusted to warmer times
| the year around, old Nature suddenly
decides to go back to her old-styIe
weather. and dishes up very cold Win
ters again, with real prolonged and
balmy Springs as in the old days?
Perhaps these vagaries have upset
| the faithful foxgloves. whose spotted
bells are beloved OF all gardeners.
They didn't bloom last year, when
| they should; what is the matter with
them?
But there is no question 50 common
among gardeners as why doesn't So
and-so bloom?"
And the joke Of it Is that nobody
knows.
There seem to be certain specimens
Of all plants which will not flower.
That Is about all that is known about
it, despite very learned statements
Perennials should have multiplied
very well over the year. but as for
lilies-there, again, one gets into dis
| putcu BIOuIlu
Some Of them "rest" and others do
not, and whether a bulb Is resting or
dead Is a matter for the experts, and
even they might disagree, as they
often do.
It Is to be hoped that the faithful
day lilies have survived and done well
they are such likeable flowers. whose
| foliage is enough alone to earn them
the estimation of mankind.
That difficult plant, the Cobea scan-
dens, is listed as a tender perennial
or half-hardy, in some catalogues. Few
seem to have good fortune with it
maybe it will come up as surprise
since Nature has way about her.
As for the "brown-eyed Susan" ones
best wishes 60 out to 1t, it is such q
cheerful flower. there In the back bor-
der, where last Summer the individual
blooms remained in good condition
without change, for at least two
months. There are not many flowers
which will do this; those that will can

Yes, there is excitement in these
things. selected at random from one
garden, but to be duplicated by every
amateur in his own way in his owI
