Pluck wins! 1t always wins

And nights be dark twixt days

Still pluck will win; it's average

Who faces issues; he who never

Mr.. dupont said.
More than 1900 Red Cross chap
ters in every section of the country
have Joined to reduce the accident
rate through home inspection. In
spection forms will be given 7,000.-
900 private, public and parochial
school children during the year and
these messengers will ask the help
of parents in removing home haz-
ards. The Delaware chapter and
other chapters taking part in the
continuing program will conduct ed
ucational campaigns through the
press and radio in sustained effort
to acquaint householders with the
need for clearing accident hazards.

Falls and burns cause more ia

accidents" Mr.. DUPONT said. 1T is
strikingly significant that 81% of all
deaths from burns result from home
accidents, and that 744o Of all fatal
falls happen in the home.

The Red Cross has included farm

'HAMSTRNGING
THE iron HORSE
There Is No Public De-
mand for Public Owner
ship Of Railroads.

In a recent address, Matthew S.
Sloan Chairman of the Board of
Missouri-Kansas-Texas lines, sue
cintly summed up the railroad situ-
alton: ''The railroad problem is not
question of whether we shall con-
tinue to enjoy the benefits of rail-
road service, but whether that SER
vice is to be rendered under private
ownership along progressive, eff
cient and low cost lines, or whether
the rail lines shall be forced into
bankruptcy, and, finally, into gov
ernment ownership-and politics"
There is no public demand for
public ownership Of railroads. Var
ious surveys Of the views OF cham
bers of commerce, industries, and
individuals show that the public
sentiment is strongly in favor of
private operation. But If we ham
string the railroads with laws that
place management functions in the
hands of government bureaus, arti-
ficially restrict operations, and arbi-
trarily add to the cost of operation
so the railroads cannot balance in
come with expense, the stage is set
for government ownership of the
rails (socialism), for only the gov
ernment, by assessing the taxpayer,
can get the money to meet deficits.
1t is periodically proposed that
length of freight trainss be rigidly
limited-even though the best ex-
perts say this would not add to the
safety of railroad operation, would
increase railroad crossing hazards
and slow. shipping. 1t is likewise
proposed that railroad workers be
limited to a S0-hour week at 40-hour
pay-even though these workers are
among the best paid in the country.
And under existing laws, most rail-
road competitors are virtually un-
while the railroads are
regulated in every particular.
Under private ownership, America
has been given the best and cheap
est railroad service in the world.

Many Lives Are Being

What to do with the injured fol

NO PROTECTION
FOR THE PUBLIC
Voters Have Steadfastly
Refused To Go Into The
Power Business.

A California community has pub
licly-owned electric plant. Last year
this plant earned a profit of 81 per
cent, according to its managers-be-
cause the local residents pay much
higher rates than do comparable
towns In the erea served by private
systems. Demands for rate reduc-
tions have not been met.
Commenting on this, the LEGAL
newspaper says: "No private utility
would be permitted TO operate at a
profit of 81 per cent for one year.
The law makes 1t unlawful for them
to earn that amount of money ON
their investment, and their rates,
costs and other operating data are
open to the railroad commission.
which protects the public. No such
protection as this exists. however, in
the case of public utilities. The rail-
road commission has no jurisdiction
over rates, net earnings or operating
costs and the limit is about what
the trafic will bear or what the pub
lie will stand hitched for"
A case where a municipal utility
earns a big profit is probably an ex-
ceptional one. II is much more COM
mon for municipal utilities to lose
money and create deficits which
must be paid out of general funds,
by all city taxpayers. In order to
create specifically low rate levels,
politically managed plants will use
deceptive systems Of making finan-
cial statements, will be given spe-
cial services, such as accounting and
billing, without cost to the plant, by
the town government, etc. Again,
state regulatory commissions have
no authority to intervene, even
though practices are employed
which would not be tolerated for a
second in a regulated private sys-
TEN. The public has no protection.
In view of the record, 1t is no won
der that the number of public plants
in this country has steadily declined
for many years-and that in the
great bulk of recent elections, voters
have steadfastly refused to go into
the power business.
