To Prevent Dead Towns

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has given opponents of Remembering the
Minneapolis and St. Louis railroad oppor-
tunity for full and fair hearing. The petit
ton to intervene came from commercial,
civic, labor and agricultural organizations
in 35 cities and towns of three states. It
was only fair cross section of the inter-
ests vitality concerned for there could have
been more than twice the number of petit
TONERS if desired.
There is more in this situation than
the mere consideration of adjustments to
pr ovide for the bond holders who must be
cared for somehow. A railroad which has
long served in developing and sustaining its
territory becomes so intimately tied in with
the well-being of it's communities that it nc
quires heavy economic obligation.
Here and there along Minnesota high
way are numerous memorial markers for
thriving pioneer towns which died because
the steamboats, stopped running or "the
railroad went somewhere else." Unfavor-
able freight rates can paralyze commune
ty but the removal of it's railroad can extin-
guish it. If the /. G. G. recognizes duty 10
protect communities by regulating rates.
much more should it preserve the towns by
continuing their most important transpol t
service.
The cheap and easy way out of the
roads financial difficulties would be to wipe
1t out but another method of reasonable i'd
justments with bond holders should not be
ignored just because it is hard to accom-
pllsh. Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota
want no more dead towns with their grave
stones at the roadsides-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

Widows In Office

THERE Is something at least slightly un-
American about the growing practice
of electing or appointing the widow Of
a senator or congressman to his post in
public life 1t is American enough to be
sentimental the emotion which prompts
such elections and it is unfortunate
American to "play politics. which often is
behind such appointments, but the prece-
dent of family succession set by frequent
application of the idea is certainly undem-
ocratic.
Cases can no doubt be pointed out
where the wife is thoroughly acquainted
with her husbands work and perhaps bet
ter qualified to serve just as in rare cases
in private life the widow assumes super
vision of her husbands business or profess
sion and makes a success of it. But the
point should be kept in mind that a position
in legislative body is not just an honorary
post but one in which the voters have a
right to expect vast amount of experience,
thought and study and long hours of hard
work. Every effort should be made to elect
the most capable persons available to such
DOSitiOnS

Important Hazard

ONE OF THE major hazards on the
highways today is the car which is
not in Al condition. Tests of lights
and brakes carried on by state agencies
have encouraged responsible drivers to keep
motor derelict which has outlived its use
fulness and cannot be put in shape
Usually it has not brakes or none
worthy of the name, it's lights are dim or
partly gone, it's windshield is broken or dis
colored and its windows are covered with
pasteboard. 1t is the weak link in the chain
Of traffic, dangerous not only to it's occup-
ants but to all other cars on the road.
To make matters worse the driver is
seldom responsible financially for damage
done and even more frequently, he carries
no insurance. While his machine cannot
travel at extremely high speeds, it is doubt
full, if as a rule, he drives with any more
care than the average driver.
In view of these facts it appeals to us
as good business for automobile manufact-
urers to do what one large company is now
doing, that is pay their dealers to junk these
cars when received in trade, to prevent them
being resold to go on endangering other
drivers.
The heavy car accident death toll
should be a serious concern of car makers.
They can and are making cars safer al
though part at least of this gain is offset by
increased speeds. By encouraging the scrap
ping of junkers, killers and jalopies as they
are known to dealers, they are performing a
public service.

King George V

T T is A RARE native-born American who
fully appreciates the attitude of English
men toward their king, particularly to-
ward such a monarch as George whose
death occurred this week.
The pomp and ceremony attendant on
the office, the court, the regalia and the
right of family succession are foreign to a
Democratic land yet we cannot fail to re-
spect man who, with 463, 100000 subjects,
was sufficiently able and just to hold his
position while emperors about him were los
ing their thrones in the last troubled quart
er of century.
Had George been born in America, it
is interesting to speculate as to what posi-
ton he might have attained in public life.
Starting adult life as a navy midshipman,
he left the sea when his brother died max
ing him heir apparent to the throne. Per
haps had he been in the American navy he
might have worked up from the ranks to
become an admiral. Generals have been
elected to the presidency, it is within the
imagination that this might have happen
ed to an admiral.
Biographical sketches tell us he took
great interest in the breeding Of fine cattle
and in farming. Perhaps had he lacked any
ambition to be leader among men, he
might have retired from the navy when
middle-aged and become farmer. Here
again the opportunity might easily have
presented itself of becoming a national Iig-
ure in farm affairs.
In England he stepped to his exalted
position as monarch by right of birth.
In America the rise would have been slow,
with frequent pitfalls. He would have had
to depend upon friends, upon his ability to
imp ess voters and to serve we'll in the posi-
tons he filled before he advanced to better
ones 1t is an interesting comparison.
