striction that, instead Of govern
ment regulation to prevent abuses,
we have government management
Of our railroads and burocratic
experimentation with other peoples
property, without any responsibility
whatever on the part Of the poll
teal appointees who administer the
act. The financial difficulties of
the carriers have increased, step by
step, with the increase in power, to
regulate and manage them granted
by law to the interstate commerce
commission. A steady rise in trans
portation costs to the public thru
out the years has followed this pro-
cession.
The Lea bill, il enacted into law,
will certainly bring the same ruin
to other forms Of transportation
which restrictive regulation has al
ready brought to the railroads. The
public will be forced to pay higher
transportation charges no matter
what agency 1t chooses to carry its
freight and passengers.
Times have changed since the
interstate commerce act was pass
ed in 1887. Railroads no longer
have a monopoly of transportation.
Those restrictions which have been
placed upon them from time to time
are no longer necessary because
competition of rival agencies that
have been developed has prevented
such a monopoly. What they need
now is relief from the blighting
hand of unnecessary regulation and
the adoption Of an American policy
Of "a fair field and no favors" for
all forms Of transportation.
The adoption Of such a policy
would result in reduced freight
charges and passenger fares; in
crease in volume Of traffic; increase
in profits for the carriers and re-
turn of prosperity to the entire
country through stepping up Of pro-
duction and all the manifold pro-
cesses Of industry.
The only provisions of the bill
which may be regarded with favor
are its attempts to set up machin-
cry for voluntary consolidation and
financial reorganization of railroad
systems, its authorization of ar
rangements for pooling of traffic
and earnings and the abolition of
preferred rates on government
freight and passengers over land
grant railroads. It entirely ignores
the recommendation of the Presi-
dents committee for the repeal of
the so-called long and short haul
provisions Of the fourth section of
the act and its suggestion that I'M
just tax burdens of the carriers be
lifted.
If the bill passes the socialistic
dream Of government ownership of
common carriers will become a
reality in short order. - Chicago

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
THE OMNIBUS
RAILROAD BILL
From Our EXCHANGES

The work Of the Presidents Joint
committee Of railroad management
and labor has blossomed forth in
an omnibus railroad laid" bill said
to pave the way for rehabilitation
Of the financially begged railroads.
Its introduction in the house of
representatives by Representative
Clarence F. Lea, Of California, on
Friday, the thirteenth, has ominous
significance. Senator Burton X.
Wheeler will take care Of its pre-
sentation in the senate.
The full text Of the measure is
not yet available for study, but a
review Of its synopsis released to
the press discloses it to be the
browning piece Of stupidity in the
long list of blunders that have been
made in railroad legislation during
the last fifty years. Experience has
failed utterly as a teacher Of the
proponents of this bill. Its prim-
airy proposals indicate clearly that
the New Deal cannot or will not
face realities.
The bill provides for an increase
in the personnel and powers Of the
interstate commerce commission.
That augmented regulatory bureau
is to have the power of establish
ing minimum rates for all forms of
transportation. It gives that body
dictatorial power of life and death
over railroads, trucks, water trans
portation, air transport, and pipe
lines. It will have the power to
divide what Is left Of the traffic of
the country among the different
forms Of transportation Of these
provisions Of the proposed bill the
last faint vestige Of individual ini-
tiative and inventive genius will be
eliminated SO far as transportation
Is concerned.
The interstate commerce act of
1887 simply required that railway
rates be just, reasonable, and non
discriminatory. The present law,
as amended from time to time,
authorizes so much red tape re-

signs that the locals have been do

for out Of thirteen games they have
eight wins and have dropped only
one within the district. They have
about five more games, two Of them
this week-Tuesdays game with
Glenwood, which they should take
and Fridays game with Osakis,
which is a hard one to predict.
With the season wearing away fast,
the sub-district and district tits

shall see what we shall see, be-

fight for a chance in the district
this year. Some Of the fans think
1t would be great stuff If we drew
Melrose for our first game and
got 1t over with, but others think
it more thrilling to beat them out
in the district. It really doesn't
make much difference because we
usually get a game with Melrose
whether we want 1t or not, and the
only thing for the Main Streeters"
to do when they get to the sub

DISPUTED PASSAGE
By Douglas

Have you learned lessons only

Have you not learned great les
sons from those who braced them
selves against you, and disputed
the passage with you? Walt
Whitman.
It began that first day Of John
Wesley Beaven's medical career.
He was a First Year Man. DR..
Milton Forester, called Tubby,
was the great surgeon, addressing
his new class at the start Of his
Anatomy lectures. The two strong
men clashed. And for years Jack
Beaver bore, as best he could, the
dislike, the personal antagonism,
Of his professional superior.
From his own disputed passage
Jack Beaver learned great lessons
lessons of patience and fortitude,
Of devotion to his profession, of
humility and Of magnanimity..
The popularity of the novels by
Lloyd G. Douglas-"Magnifi

outstanding characteristics. One
Of those is the entertaining, often
exciting, story. The other is the
fact that each of them has been

Aldrich has her written a memoir
able of pioneer Iowa. In sweeping
pages depicting the years between
1854 and 1866, a tender love story
is unfolded against the dramatic
background of the day to day
emergencies which the sturdy
pioneers faced and conquered in
the turbulent days of the Civil
War, and in the stirring times
when the tiny prairie communities
were molding themselves into a
great state.
Three Characters stand out in a
clearly etched relief: Suzanne
Martin, one of a family of seven
daughters and two sons; Jeremiah
Martin, her father, a stern, lovable
patriarch, intensely interested in
the momentuous political events
Of the day; and Wayne Lockwood

H. F. Jones, pilot of the plane, said
the Russian ship was resting on fiat
marshland close to the water. Jones
said the spot was isolated and that
there were no houses nearby.
Observers on the Canadian Air
ways plane reported Joseph Ander-
son, relief pilot of the same company,
had succeeded in bringing small
plane down on Miscou Island about
a mile from the wrecked Russian
plane.
Anderson, back at Moncton shortly
after noon, said language difficulties
prevented his learning what caused
the Soviet flyers to come down on
Miscou Island. He said the men
seemed tt. be in good spirits, despite

The effect of the pilot training
