Railways Experiment in
Traffic Allurement
From the Dayton Herald.

From the Dayton Herald.
simultaneously with the reduction in
railway passenger fares, 27-mile cleo
trio interurban line in Iowa has started
an interesting experiment. 1t is supply
ing its passengers with door -to-door
rail-taM service without additional
charge.
The procedure is simplicity itself. A
passenger merely telephones the rail-
way station, taxi takes him to the car
and another taxi performs similar Serv-
ice at his destination. One ticket and
fare will cover the entire trip from the
passengers home or Office to his final
destination. This innovation is expected
to boost traffic sufficiently to Offset the
drop in revenue resulting from the re-
duced rates.
The natural reaction to such q pro-
poSal is to wonder why some of the
transportation lines, which have been
complaining for years about the COM
petition offered by buses and by pri-
vate motor cars. never thought of this
sooner. The probable explanation is
that the railroads have been curiously
reluctant to change their policies in
keeping with the times. Habits formed
in the days when railroads provided the
only means of intercity communication,
with the exception of a few sections ia
vored with water routes, are not easily
abandoned.
Today the roads find themselves fac
ing the problem of increasing traffic to
offset approximately a A per cent re-
duction in rates. They appear to be
meeting the situation aggresSively, both
with advertising campaigns, and now
on at least one line-with an experiment
in door-to-door service. They are hop
ing that this will encourage people to
make more trips. Since this system is
largely in use on some lines in regard to
freight, there seems to be little cause
for anticipating anything but success
from the Iowa venture.

Hope for Merit System.

BY choosing for special emphasis the
merit system plank of the Republican
platform, in his telegram to the conven-
ton, Governor Landon accomplished
great deal. His action, coupled with the
rising tide of resentment against the
inroads of the spoils system, will force
a merit system plank into the Demo-
cratic platform, which lacked one in
1882 No matter which party is VIC
torious at the polls, the movement for
strengthening the merit system will
receive whatever benefits there may be
in platform pledges.
If Senator OMahoney's civil service
BILL sponsorship of which he shares with
Senator La Toilette. represents the
wishes of the President and may be
considered as rejecting administration
views, the Democrats and Republicans
are not now far apart in what they
regard as desirable merit system objec-
tiveS.
The Republican plank says the merit
system should be restored, improved
and extended. We will provide such
conditions as offer an attractive perma-
nent career in Government service to
young men and women of ability, trre-
spective of party Affiliations" To this
Governor Landon added his own pledge
that the merit system should embrace
all postmasters and extend to Govern
ment employees below the rank of assist
ant secretaries.
The OMahoney bill also covers all
postmasters-as do other bills which
have enjoyed retirement in House and
Senate pigeon holes during this admin
istration. 1t extends the merit system,
generally speaking, to all employees ex-
cept those who, under the law, are ap-
pointed for specific terms. The excep-
tion, Senator OMahoney explains, is to
leave "all officials who exercise policy
shaping authority /" directly under
political control"
Platform pledges have been ignored
before. But something Is gained when

Of the spoilsmen, 60 on record for

dation and the suffering of the Indian
communities. Exploitation Of their re-
sources for the enrichment of piratical
intruders is only one aspect of the pux-
zle. There are other angles, less widely
publicized, but almost as important.
For example, two bills are currently
caught in the machinery Of Congress
the first piece of legislation intended
to establish protective boundary for
the Navajos Of New Mexico; the second
a similar enactment designed to make
possible the reimbursement Of the In
dians of California for lands taken from
them In the days Of the sold rush Of 40.
Both propositions are meritorious; both
are approved by the Indian Bureau and
by a majority Of the populations In
volved-red and white alike. But action
is blocked by small groups whose vested
interests" would be affected. Politicians
are demanding patronage in return for
their support; lawyers want their pre-
sumptipe fees protected. Some of the
Indians themselves, misunderstanding
the issues represented, are hostile. There
seems small hope for equitable adjust
ment. Meanwhile, the social advantage
sought through the bills is arbitrarily
withheld from the many because Of the
resistance of the few.
And the tragedy of 1t all is that such
confusion unfortunately Is symptomatic
of democracy. Minorities have the power
to halt progress. Such Is the practical
but negative application of the doctrine
Of freedom in the United States. Little,
it seems. can be done about 1t. Hence
the confusion. the turmoil, the heart
breaking ineffectiveness Of even the most
notably humane effort. The Indians
share a common lot with their paleface
neishbors.

Ready to Go.

Once starting West, the Republican
convention had no desire to turn back.
Some advantage might have been
gained by selecting an Fastener to
share the ticket with Governor Landon.
But the delegates were not impressed.
AS soon as Senator Vandenberg def
nitely eliminated himself Colonel Knox
became the logical choice. His nomina-
ton puts the Middle West in the saddle
and gives it the reins The elephant
should have lot of fun now, for the
typical prairie States" offer room for
fancy running through the wide, open
spaces.
Colonel Knox is a Midwesterner by
readoption, so to speak. He gained
most of his experience in journalism and
in politics in rock-ribbed New Hsmp-
shire, whittier he had gone from Michi-
gan. His return to the Midwest has
been comparatively recent. But IN the
preliminary campaign he has done most
of his work there, and that is where his
influence has been most felt.
Senator Vandenberg may have made
the stronger running mate, for he is a
man whose stature has been increased
by distinguished service in the Senate.
He had name that was growing in I'M
portance. He has been an effective
critic of the New Deal in the Senate
and as a vice presidential candidate on
the stump would have added even more
weight to the Landon ticket. But Colonel
Knox, the alternate choice, has shown
himself to be vigorous campaigner in
his own right. Certainly he will make
an enthusiastic running mate, bedeviled
by no doubts as to whether he is in the
right place And his choice has had the
effect of leaving no wounds in any quar-
ter, unless Senator Borah, after due
deliberation, finds it is he, after all, who
has been hurt.
Two Middle Westerners, two former
soldiers, two former Bull Moosers and
two comparative newcomers in the field
Of national politics are thus joined to-
gether on the Republican national
ticket, both Of them filled with a zeal
to get going and both of them anxious
to demonstrate what will happen when
they do.

American Trade i'm
Textile Manufactures
From the Lowell Courier Citizen.

From the Lowell Courier Citizen.
1t is more sensible to sell our textile
machinery where we can than 10 bother
about exports of textile manufactures.
People abroad still want our good spin
ming frames and looms; it is lost cause
to try to compete with our manufactured
goods in the international market, the
loWer-Waged nations. Such appears TO
be the seasoned opinion of Fibre and
Fabric, a journal whose editor is in close
touch with the practical men Of the cot
ton, wool and rayon trades. 1t seems
that the huge export Of textile machinery
which marked the first postwar years
has not ceased. During the past four
years" it is said, I'VE have scrapped and
shipped out of the country unprece-
dented quantities of machinery and

point, causes renewed regret over Low

for any great volume OF export trade.
On the other hand, we have splendid

local textile manufacturer should face
if an informed textile trade editor knows
what he is talking about: International
markets that are henceforth closed to
him; home markets which can be de-
veloped by those who think fast and act
quickly in taking advantage OF the op-
portunities Of this great country.

The tabled unicorn of antiquity may
not have been pure product OF the
imagination after all.
At least DR.. J. Franklin Dove of the
University of Maine has been able to
produce unicorn artificially who
answers all the requirements-snd what
can be done artificially might well have
happened in Nature.
DR.. Doves unicorn started life as an
ordinary bull calf. The Maine profess
sor about two years ago reached the
conclusion that all the comparative
anatomists were wrong about horns.
These all maintained that horn was
only an outward extension of the frontal
bone of the skull. Under this hypothesis
it would be practically impossible for a
single horn ever to grow out of the
center of the forehead.
DR.. Dove found evidence that the
horn was an independent growth. There
were, he discovered horn buds" on
both sides of the skull Of horned
animal. From these the horns arose and
developed quite independently of the
rest of the body. Eventually there was
a practical fusion of the horns with
the frontal bone.
DR.. Dove took q day-old calf and
moved its horn buds to the center of
the skull. He pressed them tightly
together in the hope that the result
ing growths would fuse into one. That
is exactly what happened. The calf
has developed into perfect unicorn
with q single long horn projecting from
the center of the forehead.
The experiment, he reports in the
June issue of-?-was even more notable
psychologically than anatomically. The
unicorn of antiquity was greatly feared
1t always was the monarch of the herd
and, according to the legends, bore a
charmed life.
This artificial unicorn has grown up
as the aristocrat of the herd. The
single horn is a much better weapon
both of defense and offense than two
horns. 1t is used as oreward-thrusting
bayonet, whereas two-horned animals
must depend on side thrusts and slasheS.
The creature seems to recognize this
great advantage and lords it over his
fellow animals. This is remarkable
illustration, DR.. Dove holds. Of the in
f1uence of changed bodily form on tenn

Practical Traffic Men,
Not Theorists. Needed
To the xditor Of Ths Star:

To the &ditor Of The Star:
In The Star of June 0 1t was said, by
headline, that the experimental walk
lights" had aided in cutting accidents.
This statement is not supported by the
facts, and even the ever-optimistic and
ever-changing director of traffic makes
no such unfounded claim. The truth is
that the lights are but one more OF an
interminable series OF experiments that
make Washington trafic q menace to
life. The trouble here Is that the whole
theory Of regulation Is wrong. Every
effort Is made here to speed and facili-
tate motor traffic. and the poor, helpless
person afoot Is looked upon as nuisance
that must be controlled so that speed
and movement may be more increased.
The time has come when human life
must be put above the movement OF
machinery, and unless this is done we
shall continue manning and killing our
people, especially the very young and
the very old.
In q proper traffic scheme, protection
Of life should come first and machine
movement should be Subordinated to
that end. 1t Is the machine that needs
regulating, not the person walking. He
is only potential victim.
After experiencing the traffic condi-
tions in several Eastern cities, am con-
Vinced that we are proceeding upon
wrong principles, and I regret to say
that the authorities here seem unable
to learn from experience. I suggest that
we hire some practical men, not theoret-
ical experts. from Philadelphia or New
York and give them full authority TO
place our traffic on a safe and civilized
plane, EMIL BROCARD.

Truth Catches Up.

Americans in general are delighted
when truth catches up with error. Some
curious natural instinct for fair play
makes them happy to see mistakes cor
rected. But on occasion unfortunate
delay occurs and the pattern of the
public mind is established before the
necessary rectif1cation has been broad
cast effectively. Then, Of course, the
authentic fact may be ignored in un-
conscious preference for the baseless
legend. History provides many in
stances of myths grown respectable be-
cause reality was tardily asserted.
But Constantin Cotolan is to be
rescued from the danger of unreformed
Misrepresentation. He has come to his
own assistance in time to prevent irrep-
arabic demolition Of his reputation.
Determined to win justice for himself,
he has taken pen in hand to explain
that he was not an accidental partici-
pant in the funeral procession Of King
George v.
Readers will remember the incident.
Mr.. Cotolan, called stoebs by mischance,
was accorded universal publicity as an
intruder at the solemn mortuary cere-
mony. The Daily Worker, q radical
newspaper published in London, alleged
that he was only a ngseur who had

In general, the American people are

Tax Legislation Too
Important to Be Rushed

To the Editor Of The Star:
To me 1t has anyways been disgust
ing picture to see State Legislature
dilly-dally through the most of it's al
lotted time and then attempt to rush
through number Of important meas
ures In the last few hours of session.
How much more disgusting Is the spec
tacle of our national bodies who now feel
that they simply must "close house"
about June Is, although every one Of the
members knows how utterly impossible
it is to properly complete the very i'm
portant tax bill alone in that time, to
say nothing of the other measures that
should be considered.
These men, unlike legislators in the
State bodies, are on an annual salary
basis, and the salary is more than ample
in the majority of cases to justify their
full time on the job.
