but they are better locomotives and turn out more work per day.
 In the first three months of 1943, pas senger traffic was virtually double that of the corresponding period in 1918. Troop movements quadrupled those in the first World War. The general level of railway travel costs in recent years has been the lowest in railway history.
 Railroad employees in 1922 averaged l. ,0O0, as contrasted with 1,842,00O in 1918, and in 1942 employees received in wages $2,932 100000, as against $2,614,- 100000 in 1918. Railroad taxes, per dol lar of revenue, increased from 4.6c in 1918, to 16.1c in 1922.

The Inevitable Effect

It is no wonder that the Senate War Mobilization Committee in recent re- port declared that the home front is "sagging dangerously" A free people have found themselves shackled by bureaucratic red tape at almost every turn.
 They try to increase production-they try to get war job-they try to raise crops and in many instances they are slowed down or actually stopped by some restriction, decree or law that has so complicated our economic life that a citizen used to doing things for himself is stumped by a multiplicity of bosses.
 Don't forget that the success of our war effort has been due to the drive of free private enterprise Don't expect to hamstring that enterprise and not con- fuse and bewilder, and even destroy, the spirit of individual initiative and inde- pendence which built, maintained and must perpetuate this nation if our coun- try remains as we have known it.

Laboratory Victory

American research laboratories have again won military victory. The head lines will not call it that, but that is what it amounts to.
 An Eastern oil company has announced the development of new refining tech nique which will produce gasoline that should increase the power output of air. craft engines from 23 to 35 per cent. This added power will give fighter planes a substantial increase either in maximum speeds or rate of climb Bombers will be able to get off the ground with heavier load and will have larger cruising radi- us. The greater lifting power will result in an added two or three tons of bombs for every ten tons carried After the war, this high gasoline quality will be used to give automobiles much greater power or much greater mileage, which ever is desired.
 Never before has American industry worked so hard to invent and create. It is relentlessly driven by the knowledge that mankind is depending on this coun- try for better future civilization. That civilization cannot be realized except through the unstinted effort of industry, now and in the peace that will come some day. Private industry, of which oil is an outstanding example, is justifying it's existence and proving to the people that in free competitive enterprise lies the hope of the future.

Warning From Oregon Tax
 Commission

Oregon taxpayers Ire beginning to learn that electric power from a tax exempt government-owned, politically managed plant can be very expensive. The Oregon State Tax Commission warns that tax losses to Oregon will exceed the total original cost of the Bonneville power dam during the next few decades, if tax clauses of Columbia power bills are left unchanged. In other words, the private utilities which the socialists are so anX- ious to destroy in Oregon, as elsewhere, would pay enough in state taxes, over and above the amount it is proposed to have Bonneville pay to more than offset the total cost of the project in compar- atively few years.
 Oregon citizens are learning something else about so-called cheap Federal electric power. They are learning that the cost must be measured in far more than dol lars and cents The State Tax Commis- sion, in addition to warning of the danger of revenue losses impending as the result of the Federal power socialization pro- gram, further pointed out the obvious fact that: "Unfort'lnately, the state of Oregon has no legislative control over whether Federally-owned public utilities shall or shall not be subject to state and local taxation"
 The juggernaut of national socializa- ton, under the guidance of the Federal power politicians, crushes states rights as ruthlessly as it crushes the rights of utility property owners.

less he took greater precautions, the dread disease would inevitably lay hold on him.
 One day he chanced to spill some boiling water on his foot. To his amazement it produced no pain whatsoever. It was then that he knew his doom was sealed. His loss of sensitiveness informed him in terms not to be mitaken that death was creeping upon him out of the dark.
 People often have leprosy of the soul, and in their case also the spiritual malady is characterized by loss of sensitiveness. The saints are always conscious of their sins, but they who have many of which they should be conscious frequently pay no attention to them. When sin has done it's worst in a mans soul, he cares no longer for ideals. He is no longer touched by the pain of his fellows. He looks out on world of evil, shrugs his shoulders and says. T didn't cause it, I can't cure 1t; it's none of my affair."" Such a loss of feeling indicates something far worse than dread bodily disease. It bespeaks death of the soul.

A Few Facts to Remember

Since the last World War, $1O,0OO,O00,- 900 has been spent for improvements to American railroads. For every dollar of additional stocks and bonds, the rail- roads have spent $1O for additions and b.tterments. In 1918 there was an aver age of $10,000 worth of railroad equip ment for each man employed. Now each man uses $20,000 worth.
 Moving fighting equipment and fight ing men, war materials, food and fuel has been the biggest transportation job in history. Railroads in 1943 are moving twice as many ton-miles of freight as in corresponding period in 1918.
 Freight rates generally are no higher now than when the war started. There are 100000 fewer freight cars in service today than in 1918, put they carry p per cent more. The average freight train does more than twice as much work irl~an hour. There are 26,000 fewer locomo- tives than during the first World War,

The downfall of Benito Mussolini has been discussed pro and con by many. All are pretty much agreed that the poten- tial big man of Europe became before his retirement an insignificant and pathetic figure. Rev. Wilfred Parsons writing in America" said of him in the concluding sentences of an article called "Mussolini Betrayed the True Culture of Europe" that "Mussolini's passing leaves to the curious world one of the most fascinating puzzles possible: when the veil of dicta- torship is lifted from Italy, and Italians can once more express themselves, will they be new race of Latinsmor will we have the same old Italians, whom the world has long loved and admired?"

Going It Alone

The Moscow manifesto calling upon Germans to overthrow the Nazi regime apparently came as a complete surprise to the other United Nations. Our am- bassador, Admiral William H. Stanley, is reported to have had no slightest inkling of it until the declaration appeared in Pravda.
 It looks as though Stalin, going it alone, is limiting to the German people that the Soviet will accept peace without uncon- ditional surrender. If Great Britain and the United States stick to their guns this could easily mean split on a very vital matter. We - the British and Americans
 - insist ostenSibly upon unconditional surrender by the Italians, but we temper our obduracy by enticing promises, eX- press and implied. When Germany's time comes, we propose neither to express nor tL imply anything in mitigation of our basic demand. This difference in treat ment probably could be justified on the theory that the German people as whole have greater guilt than the Italian peo- pie as whole. But in the long run guilt is not the best yardstick: punishment of criminals, however human is less import ant than eradicating the causes of crime.
 Italy is entitled to different treatment than Germany-Or, WlCn more accuracy, we would be justified in treating her more leniently-because Italy is not the same malignant war laboratory that Ger many is. Historically the German peo- pie have gone from one war of aggression to another, each worse than the one be- fore. No sooner are they defeated tenn porarily than they begin planning, work ing, plotting for the next. Under Bis oro1x Koic IJif1or fhoVy destroy world peace.
 We have no reason to expect the Ital- ian people, freed from Fascism and its sponsors will set to work at once plan- ming another world war But that is exactly what we must fear from the Ger mans, whoever might pick up the torch ii it were taken from Hitler's hands. Rus sia is playing with fire if Stalin conceives of making separate peace with any Ger nan regime on any basis other than the most abject unconditional surrender.

"Why," whispered MT. Littell to his wife, did you have to tell them all about it?"
 4TH TERM
 Close friends who have talked with the President lately are not at all sure he wants to run for a 4th Term. Naturally, he is not telling even his closest intimateS what his real hopes are, anymore than he told anyone prior to the 3rd Term convention in 1940.
 But one or two hints that he has dropped lead friends to be- lieve that the President empha- tically would not run again if the war is won, and would run only reluctantly if the war is still in progress.
 However, there is one ambition he deeply cherishes, named to help write 8 permanent peace. Having taken an active part in the last war as assistant secre- tary of the Navy and having seen the "war to end wars" turn into an abortive and Symied peace, the President wants more than any, thing else no ito repeat Woodrow Wilson's failure.
 Therefore it is not beyond the realm of possibility that to bring about non-partisan peace treaty, Roosevelt would be will ill to make an agreement with a broad-guaged Republican who supports his foreign policy, whereby that Republican would get the nod, for the White House if FDR in turn sat at the head of the Peace Conference.
 All this, of course, is still in the realm of speculation, but also within the realm of possibility.
 Should this not materialize and should the President definitely de- eide not to run, then the chances are strong that he would throw the nomination to his close friend and Assistant President" ex-Jus- tice Jimmy Byrnes.
 The President has felt that the country may be entering a period when the tide has set in against New Deal reforms and that man like Byrnes capable of holding dif- ferent elements together is what the Democratic party will need for the next few years.

it will be the plea of the manage ment of every symphonic orchestra in America, is that you will imme- diately lift your ban on recording of symphonic music and by doing so contribute to the availability of symphonic music throughout this country in manner that not even your proposed concerts can accom- plish."
 This plea has the merits of un- derstatement. MT.

Why should the country be placed in the position of plead ing with MT. Petrillo to remove a ban that he ought never to have had the power to impose? MT.

To start the distilling of Wh1S- key would mean a further use of grain, thus d.pleting the supply for cattle, hogs and chickens.
 Despite this, the whiskey dis
 tillers have been waving the
 constitution, roaring about in-
 voluntary wartime prohibition and arguing that there arc am- pie stocks of war alcohol on hand.
 The latter, of course, is true. Alcohol stocks are ample and the manufacture of explosives has been curtailed However, two counter-factors have been pointed out by WIPE officials. One is the discovery of several new uses for alcohol. One of these is an im- portant war use, 50 far 8 care fully guarded secret, which may require more alcohol.
 But even more important, WIPE officials point out, is that the country is desperately hard up for grain. Seldom in history has wheat been fed to animals instead of people. And should there be drouth next year and the wheat crop injured, then
 with reserves depleted, the whiskey distiller would get the blame.
 More than 10 million bushels of grain per day are required for feeding livestock and poultry. Where we are going to get it during the coming year, already has the War Food Administration baffled. The estimated 1943-44 supply of grain is 12 per cent less than last years and simultaneous ly livestock on farms will be five to ten per cent greater.
 The Agriculture Department has already warned livestock producers to conserve feed. Yet at the same time the distillers have been lob- bying their ears off to divert the grain to whiskey.
 MIR. LITTELL GOES TO DINNER
 Norman Littell, the young As sistant Attorney General who forced Secretary Knox to cough up amazing Elks Hills oil deal, has an amazing memory for the law, but when it comes to his own

clothes it is another matter.
 The other night he was invited to dine with Swiss Minister Charles Brumann, brother-in-law of Vice President Wallace, and &C., cording to Mrs: Littell, his concen- tration on Elks Hills rather than clothes almost caused row in the Littell family.
 To save time and gasoline, Littell dresses for dinner at his office, but this time he phoned wife at the last minute that he had forgotten to bring his collar and cummerbund. He asked her to meet him outside the door of the Swiss Legation with these articles very essential to dining out in summertime WashintOn.
 Mrs. Littell dutifully obeyed. Arriving on time she stood hope fully outside the Swiss Leation holding mans collar on one hand and a black cummerbund in the other. Presently the guests began to arrive.
 "Where's Norman?" asked As- sistant Secretary of War McCloy as he noticed Mrs. Littell stand in expectantly in front of the Legation.
 I'm waiting to finish dressing him." replied his patient wife.
 Next came William Bait, vice chairman of the War Production Board, and Mrs. Bait. Aren't you coming in?" they asked.
 "No, I'm looking for man with out a collar, a necktie or a cum merbund," replied Mrs. Littell.
 Next arrived Vice President and Mrs. Wallace.
 "Why don't you let me stay out here and help dress Nor man," MT. Wallace suggested, af-- ter takin in the situation. You go on in and I'll wait for him."
 But Mrs. Littell thought her hus- band would be 8 bit embarrassed at having the Vice President of the United States act as his valet.
 A moment later Littell arrived, slipped on his collar, necktie and cummerbund, and went down the receiving line. Each lady - Mrs. Burggmann, Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. McCloy, Mrs. Batt-greeted him with:
 Well, MT. Littell, I see you have your collar and cummer- bund."
