AIR MAIL SUBSIDIES

The long painful discussion over government
economy took an intelligent turn in the senate last
week when air mail subsidies were selected for am
putaton.
At times congress displays all the agility Of a
tight-rope walker in avoiding obvious important
duties. This is one of the other times when I'M
pleasant task was faced courageously and done
thoroughly.
The senate's action is not intended to end air
mail service in the United States, although the
entire s19OOOOOO appropriation for this purpose was
stricken from the postoffice appropriation bill on
motion of the Democratic leader, Senator Joseph T.
Robinson.
Robinson said when he suggested what appeared
to be very drastic action. that his purpose was to
provide means of recognizing the air mail so
that it can pay for itself within reasonable time.
If this plan is carried out, the administration
will examine existing air mail contracts, eliminate
subsidies entirely gradually, and prepare new
contracts under which the government will pay
fair price for transportation of the mails by air
The government operated the air mail itself
at one time and brought it almost to the point
of being se-supporting before it turned it over to
private industry.
Since this is true the postoffice department
should be able in short time to reduce its pay
ments for transportation of air mails to moderate
poundage basis similar to that paid for transporta-
ton of mails by rail at the same time leaving the
private operators in a position to earn reasonable
profits.

SCIENCE
i ncle Sam, Scientist
BY DAVID DIETz

TINE cartoons picture your
Il Uncle Sam in a r-spangled,
spike tailed coat and striped trou-
sers. But it would be entirely ap-
propriate to depict him in the
white Jacket of the laboratory
worker, for Uncle Sam is becom-
ing more and more Of scien-
fist.
Scientific study and research
has become one of the important
branches of governmental activ-
ity. The average citizen who
thinks Of national government in
terms of new pOstoffices, army
maneuvers and the difficulties Of
balancing the budget, probably
does not realize the volume Of
important scientific work which is
done by the government.
The farmer, profiting by the adj
vice of the department of agricul-
ture. or the business man, find
ing the answer to chronological
problem in a publication OF the
bureau of standards, knows the
Importance of governmental work
in the field Of science.
Realizing the necessity of a
general understanding of the i'm
portance of this work at a criti-
cal time such as the present, the
Scientific Monthly, official journal
of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, has
undertaken the publication Of a
series of articles dealing with this
subject.

no objection could be made to the

is sweeping the world. But I'M
fortunately love of country often is
all too coupled with aggressive

Although America has not yet

1t would be foolish to deny that
hatred never is a driving or a con-
structive force. Righteous indigna-

UTILITY RATES STILL UP

In November. 1881 domestic consumers of cleo
tricty we're paying an average monthly bill of $281.
In November 1892, they were paying $3.50.
The average household price of manufactured
gas fell not at all during the last year. in which
food farm products textiles, clothing and furniture
all tumbed so rapidly. And an electricity tax which
was intended for the companies was transferred
shftily to the consumer, making his bills actually
higher in the year OF defaton, instead of lower, as
they should have been.
In the city of Washington D. c., househoders
paid $195 for 50 kilowatt hours Of electricity and
the privately owned company which supplied it,
under careful regulation made a good profit at this
low rate
In other parts of the country where presum-
ably regulation was less efficient, householders paid
as much as $3.50 for the amount of current
The average for 100 large cities of the United States
was $685.
Meanwhile utility companies, still enjoying the
benefit of a monopoly industry, based in many in
stances on natural resources and protected by past
rulings from federal courts to what does and what
does not constitute a con1scatory rate of return,
continued to prosper.
It is true that the Kankakee Water Company
went to the courts in Illinois and complained that
1t earning only SIT per cent and therefore was
suffering confscaton of property, but few such
complaints were heard
In the Kankakee case the courts held that
utility should not expect such large profits in hard
times as in better days. and did not permit an in
crease in rates. Which suggests that utility COM
missions everywhere we'll might take advantage of
this mood on the part of the courts and see to it
that before another year passes the cost of gas and
electricity for home use drops to the 1888 general
price level

MAKING BANKS SAFE

Members Of the legislature will do well to examine
carefully the measure introduced by Representative
John Jones Offering plan to make banks safe for
depositors.
The plan is simply to force banks to unite by
regions under system now used by clearing houses.
In short it would force banks TO take interest in
each other and be on guard against bad practices.
It may be q matter of some significance that in
days when there have been failures and conse-
quent decrease of credit resources and buying power
member OF the clearing house has suffered.
If there be safety in the clearing house plan, and
there seems to be- it should be extended to all banks
so that industry and business be protected against
any shock that comes with bank suspensions.
Other banking proposals will have the effect Of
reducing the number of banks and eliminating those
who may be tempted to embark in this business with
neither the training the resources the tempera-
ment to be successful
Other states have tried to guarantee deposits
through state action. That experience has always
been sad the people have paid and banks have been
tempted to depart from cautious practices.
But the Jones plan is based different theory
It would put it up to the bankers to keep all banks
safe. Financial penalties would insure an active
interest If it be feasible the bankers should be most
active in its adoption

STATE TAX PLANS

tFrom the New WorId-Teegraml
This budget" declares Governor Herbert Leh-
man of New York, lis in keeping with the times
. Extraordinary conditions compel unusual adj
justments."
Not so strikingly unusual" Nothing is more
usual alas, than meeting desperate need of public
funds by adjustments broadening the basis of taxa
ton so that small incomes will carry more of the
load.
The little fellow" always is most numerous. Also,
he can be made to pay his taxes with least protest
and bother He is a godsend to hard-up govern
ments.
The biggest item in Governor Lehman's proposed
taxes is the $4,000 to be raised by an added
/ per cent tax gross incomes for 1888. Every
single person with an income of 81 900 or more every
married person with an income of $500 or more
would pay.
Capital gains and losses excluded exemptions cut
dovn-an this in addition to the regular state in
come tax, which doubled last year. Also in
addition to whatever congress may have in store in
the shape of ''oroadened" federal income taxes
Under the Lehman plan the married person with
two children and income of $1,000 would pay
next year a total state income tax of ss4.
Figured in family budget of strict necessities
and on top of other taxes does that sS4 represent
the same proportional hardship borne by person
with 100000 income whose state tax next year
would be $500?
Who will contend that it does?
Broadening the tax base is the easiest way in
state federal field But it still is far from
equitable Nor there justice in continuing to pro-
vide for higher bracket incomes in tax-exempt
government securities.
The Lehman retail sales tax proposal, moreover
raises another grave question of the economic wis
dom of further discouraging consumption when in
creased consumption is the admitted major need.
We do not underestimate the Governors diff
cuties. We believe he honestly and carefully has
studied the question But loath to see the
easiest ways of increasing accepted simply be-
cause they the easiest.
We think the time has come to protect the buy
ing power Of small incomes rather than to treat
them the suest least resisting source Of revenue

Every Day RELIGION
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

ITO Charles Dickens, as we re-
i member on his birthday, we
owe our first news of how the
other half Of humanity lives.
He was born in the human I'M
derworld, lived in it, loved it, knew
its romance, its pathos, its hui
NOR; and across his pages stride
a motley multitude of boys and
girls, men and women from the
gaunt, gray slums of London-a
begrimed, bedraggled, fantastic,
pathetic procession it is.
1t is by his rich humanity that
Dickens lived by his humor of
character and cartoon and his
melting pathos which, if some
times maudlin, was none the less
real. He taught his age how to
laugh, and that was no easy task
in solemn, Hamlet-like gen.
Grafton.
1t was a wholesome, hearty,
happy life with which he dealt
there is more eating, drinking and
kissing in Pickwick than in any
other book One always is
meeting a Dickens character and
is lucky not to be one himself.
A young man almost breaking
his neck to break into society re-
calls the yong man of the name
of Guppey." A sleek, clumsy,
hypocritical meekness reminds us
of Uriah Heap, with his stubby-
red hair.
Micawber is the symbol of the
happy go-lucky ne'er-do-well, al
ways waiting for something to
turn up, as Toots is of him who
has whiskers on his brain. Happy
is the man who can be sure that
he has no faint Of PeCksniff, the
humbug, in himself,
DICKWICK and Sam Weller are
L the OuiXote and Sancho of
London; they are immortal. The
woman who enjoys i'll health, with
sweet insipidity and engaging
paleness, while her husband as
sures her that it is due to too
much soul, is Mrs. Wititterly.
The donkey who always speaks
his mind, regardless, is seen in
Chollop, and the goody-gOody girl
in Agnes. who always was point
ing up" Of course, there is more
in Dickens than his cartoons, but
these gave him vast popular
ity.

THE struggle between pacif1sm and mlitarism
Il now is unequal. Advocates of the latter have
at their disposal vast government appropriations
Peace lovers have only words.
But in the end words always have proved more
powerful than dollars and the day surely will come
when men and women will make their last great
fight against their everlasting and implacable
enemy--war.
love to remember what Eugene V, Debs said
when he stood before the Ohio judge not so many
years ago while the war fever like some evil plague
swept over the land.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Debs in a truly Homeric
statement L will take back no word to save my
self from the penitentiary. I am accused of OBJ
structing the war. I admit it. I abhor war and I
would obstruct it if I stood forever alone"
All the valiant deeds of all the warriors of earth
do not exceed in courage these simple words. They
hold for humanity something of the same warning
that Jesus gave as He trod the road to Calvary:
Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me. Weep
for yourselves and for your children"
A ND we of the twentieth century shall weep and
n we deserve to weep, if, knowing as we do all
the horror. crime and futinty OF war, we DO not
make more of a conscious effort to outlaw it than
we are making now.
When Bruce Barton proposed GnaI congress
should appropriate 5 per cent of its present war
budget or some forty-eight million dollars. to edu-
cate the people against war, he presented with
sensible working plan.
1t is terrible that professedy peace-loving peo-
pie should spend so much Of its wealth to keep war
alive and so little to promote good fellowship among
nations.
For no one really start except public
opinion No man or group of men, however mighty
can incte a nation to take up arms and court its
destruction unless they first the forces of
propaganda, money and hatred to turn mems minds
toward conflict.
Today too much of the money for which we
sweat and slave goes to keep alive this horror
Other civilizations. other races have been supreme
in war and passed into oblivion. There is only one
new way. one way in which America can become a
world force, leader of nations torchbearer for
humanity-and that is to make her Statue of Lib
erty an emblem of peace for men.

Thrombosis Toll

Most patients who feel the first
symptoms of this disease do not
feel themselves sick enough to call
a doctor. If they do not recover
by good luck, they make their first
medical contact with the coroner.
He says that every means of
publicity available ought to be
used, even at the risk of creating
some unnecessary fears, to teach
middle aged and older people that
diagnoses Of ptomaine poisoning
and acute indigestion usually are
serious cases of mistaken identity,
and that every case of pleuritic
pain and neuritis of the chest,
neck, jaw or arms demands the
most prompt and painstaking
diagnostic scrutiny possible.
The only advice that can be
given for prevention is that best
advice of medical science-moder-
alton in all things.
The avoidance Of overeating
and Of overstrenuous life are TIL
two main points to be considered.

1t was Dickens who took Christ
mas, warmed its dying embers and
made it festival of joy. If we
doubt the change wrought In
Scrooge, surely no other spirit
could have softened such a skin
flint.
Then, too, the stories of Dickens
are a bible of Babyland. What
troop of children trip and dance
and cry in his stories, like the
train of toddlers behind the Pied
Piper of Hamelin. Little Nell,
David Copperf1eld, Little Dorritt,
Pip, Oliver Twist, Tiny Tim with
his goodly gospel-what a golden
hearted, joyous, piteous company
of little smilers, sinners, sufferers!
They soften the hearts of us and
make us more child like-that is,
more Christ like-of such is the
kingdom of heaven. For all this,
and much else, we love dear, de-
Ightful old Boz.

HERR HITLER is quoted as
L Il having declared to his coun-
trymen, Cruelty me if I fail"
Adolf's decisions of grandeur
seem to be growing. There was a
time when he merely thought that
he was MusSolini.
But crucilXion would be most
inappropriate punishment for the
German junker. The dispensation
which he seeks to bring to a trou-
bled land is new application of
hatred. Into the open wounds of
the world he would thrust the salt
of suspicion, distrust and racial
antipathy.
And when anybody in any ma
ton begins to urge recovery
through greater sense of ma
tionalism and a more highly iso-
lated patriotism, it will be well to
remember that Herr Hitler is the
full and perfect flower of this
school of thought.

TINE series is started with an in
4 PRODUCTION from the pen OF
President Herbert Hoover. In it he
sets forth the importance Of gov
ernmental work in science.
1.-THE Unsuitable curiosity Of the
human mind to probe the myster-
les of nature through scientific re-
search into the operation Of nat
ural laws has resulted in such
wealth of new inventions and new
products, so satisfactory to ma
terial needs Of the people, that
the world irrevocably is committed
to an eternal quest of further
truth. with certainty Of endless
and even more rapid change as
new knowledge is translated into
new conveniences and comforts"
Mr.. Hoover says.
1.-The social relations Of man
kind already have been altered by
those changes beyond the utmost
imagination of our forefathers.
Further and more revolutionary
changes will be wrought.
"As government is the art Of So
ciaI relations under recognized au-
thorities set up by the will of the
people, any change wrought by sci
entif1c advance quickly produces
new problems Of government.
"The federal government itself
long ago sensed the potentialities
of science when it gave official
status to the Smithsonian insti-
tuition.
From that pioneer body has
flowed a stimulation of scientific
research Of the most valuable char
acter, both directly in its own dis
coveries and indirectly through its
leadership and inspiration of
private institutions"

A Scheme Which Failed

THE trouble with applying
Il passionate distrust, and suspi-
cion to present problems is that
we've just tried that. Indeed,
We are trying it now, and there
is not the slightest evidence that
1t is going to work.
Only a few years ago Hitler
promised that heads would roll
upon the ground when he came
into power. He has been little
less articulate in his preach
ments of savagery within the last
few days, but he remains a man
who believes that debate can be
settled by decapitation.
Now, surely no sane person IAN
contend that the present unfor-
tunate state of the earth has
come about because of too great
a tenderness upon the part of
any man or nation. We killed
our millions and solved nothing.
We must get out of the red.
Since agony and violent death
failed SO signally, what is the
