too low, you throw. a lot of

cry of county government, and
combine with cities or other
counties in larger and better
organized units.
THAT such measures can be
passed without resistance is not
to be expected. Local office
holders will fight to the death
to block them, but he who
fights for them will have be-
hind him a solid phalanx of
weary, angry and hopeful tax
payers"
There is every reason for the
people to welcome the leader
ship of institutions of higher
learning in organizing to lift
from their necks the yoke of
ox-cart government, of which
the county unit is the most
fragrant example.
Taxes wrung from the people
to support more than three
thousand county governments
and the other thousands of
smaller government units are
urgently needed for other and
better purposes. Public educa-
ton is suffering for lack of
funds. Public protection is ham,
strung by insufficient appropri-
ationS. Public health and other
vital governmental services are
being starved to pay for the
upkeep of thousands upon thou
sands of county and local off,
GERS no longer required for the
orderly transaction of public
business.
Simplify Units
To simplify these govern
mental units will require a
constitutional change in a ma
jority of the States, but legis-
latiVe enactments in nearly al
the States can provide some
relief.
In the following States, the
constitution specifically author

amendment is the first step
toward undermining the pres
emf structure of local govern
ments in all the States ex-
cept California, Montana, Min
nesota. Nebraska. North Caro-.
lima, Rhode Island and Vir-
ginia.
If every State university
would follow the example this
summer of the University Of
Virginia and make the mod
ernizing of county government
a foremost subject of study
and discussion at an Institute
of Public Affairs, the people
would soon vindicate the faith
of Thomas jefferson in their
honesty and common sense by
electing legislatures pledged to
raise the standard of State
administration by bringing our
obsolete system Of county and
local government up to date.

the North moving tale OF the
royal Canadian mounted police,
that magnificent organization
which has been the very back
bone of Canada for the past
three-quarters of century.
But this is tale not of how
they always get their man,
those bronzed lads in the broad,
felt hats and scarlet tunics, but
a tale of how their man got
them.
To Corporal Percy Graves, in
charge of the mounted police
post at Norway House, came
police circular announcing that
James Joseph Whiteway, Rus
ter" Whiteway, was a mucn-
wanted man. For on an eve
ming in September, Mr.. White
way, gun in hand and contrar5
to numerous of his majesty
laws and the welfare and peace
of the Dominion Of Canada
held up and robbed store
keeper at a little side station
named Bay Trail, in the prov
ince of Saskatchewan.
Corporal Graves happened to
know Buster" W-liteway, ana
he knew, too, that WhiteWay'
a FIR hunter, dealing with sew
eral posts of the Hudson's Bay
Company, had a trap line at
cross Lake. north of Graves
own post at Norway. So Graves
took the trail with his dog
team and late one evening ne
refined in his huskies before a
trapper's cabin.

Inside was Buster" tall,
dark, good looking, rather IKE a
very tall and robust Jack Gill

trail. or so both of them
thought, for the Corporal had
the drop on his man. He TOOK
Buster" back to Norway ana
radioed out that he had ms
man, Back came orders to hold
him until a plane driven by
Pilot Spence could call for MN.
And a day or so later, Spence S
plane slid down from the celllng
and muted it's thunder to a lazy
drone.
Along with the pilot when it
took off, there were five men
crowded into the plane-ErneSC
Robinson, a prospector, and L.
L. Cooke, re plane mechanic
with Corporal Graves, OF course.
Spence turned his bird into the
north wind and gave it the gun.
A blizzard was blowing up, ouC
their destination was only ABOUT
a 100 miles away, and pilots IN
the Far North are used to taxing
chances with the cold and the
winds.
So the airplane climbed high
into the gray sky and sped west

one all-enveloping bin d l n g
blanket. Spence dared not stay
up. He calculated his distances
and guessed correctly he was
near Moose Lake. but flying al

jured and unconscious, was
Corporal Graves.
There was the picture when
one of the three men who had
been lying in the snow came to
his senses. Still weak and dizzy

no one-nothing to stop him.
The wilderness was his home
and the storm no great peril to
a man like him. There was
the choice this man had TO
make, the prisoner, Buster"
Whiteway, as he stood there IN
the white loneliness, seeing the
sprawled figure of the dead
man, seeing the unconscious
mounted policeman crumpled IN
the cabin, seeing the two men
lying senselesS in the cold.

prison? How could he hest

wreckage of the cabin he lifted

followed the line until he made

Those fishermen were the
only possible chance of help
within 80 miles and WhiteWay
knew it. He screamed but the
wind drowned his voice, threw
it away into space, and the
fishing boat moved on His
heart sank in him, and then.

Within a few minutes he was

including Whiteway. their res

Justice
Relays of Indian runners
sped through the woods to
reach the railway, 40 miles dis
tant by bush trail, to telegraph
word to the outside and bring
in medical aid. It was hours
before a plane could land a
doctor and a mounted police
man. Spence was dead, Of
course, and all the survivors
were in bad shape. All would
have been dead if it hadn'.
been for Buster" Whiteway.
And little later, when Buster"
was taken to court at Prince
Albert, Saskatchewan. when he
pleaded guilty to robbery, the
judge smiled in pretty friendly
fashion when he handed White
way a sentence of only six
months to date from the time OF
his arrest, which made the pun
ishment practically nominal.
Usually for the crime of rob
berry, the courts in that part OF
Canada give a stiff penitentiary

Canada, and the sole reason
for leniency was the extraordi.
