ALTHOUGH the session of the Legislative Assembly
just passed might already have gone from the minds Of many,
yet it was significant for the new low which such sessions
have had Certainly, it could not have been lower. The only
step left would be for the Legislative Assembly to be marked
by a free-for-an. At such time if necessary, the Legislative hall
would be covered by police guard. And it is not impossible,
for when men lose sight of their responsibility, not only to
others but to themselves, all reason and understanding is
gone, and the sky is the limit.
AFTER such a session thoughtful citizens can come to
one conclusion, and it is that they themselves are to blame.
Serving a community in the legislature is serious business,
and the men whose responsibility it is to serve must not only
be prepared to serve, but must have at least a faint idea that
some measure of dignity goes with the position. Such was
completely absent at this last session, as men bawled out I'M
suits (many of them unprintabIel and went even further al
most into actual fight. 1t was indeed amusing, for the mo-
ment at least, to see a neutral Councilman sprawled on the
floor as he attempted to part the honorable gentlemen and
make peace. Yet, with such an atmosphere very little indeed
could be accomplished.
OUR PEOPLE, by such department, show how unpre-
pared we are to accept self-government. Such a statement,
while unquestionably true, will bring forth much wrath and
with it the abusive language for which we are being known
all over the world, and in which we have become expert. But
the proof is there. Over the years it has been shown conclus-
lively that the men we send to the legislature somehow do
not seem to be able to differ with their colleagues, or anyone
else, for that matter, without becoming Infatuated. Having
become Infatuated they make threats, curse, smart at the
mouth, and completely forget that their enemies have a per
feet right to their opinion. But what is worse, and even more
unfortunate, is that these threats go over into personal mat
tiers, and extend far beyond the Council halls. Governor Has
tie has, is still receiving, and will continue to receive his share
of the blessings that come to everyone who dares to differ
with these Comclmen. Quickly they forget the issues at

And, outstanding among the vir-
tues of the diesel locomotive is it's
economical consumption of fuel oil.
The war made Americans oil-conscious.
aiid the postwar shortages of petroleum
products especially liquid fuel for home
heating created wide speculation to the
effect that diesel locomotives are excess
sively rough on the nations oil supply.
General Motors Corporation has made
an exhaustive study of petroleum con-
sumption by this countrys principal users.
The study developed these facts:
sIhe approximately 5000 diesel loco
motives in railway service today burn
only per cent of the total petroleum
products consumed in this country.
If diesel locomotives had perform
&c all work on the railways in 1877,
the quantity of diesel fuel burned
would have been less than per cent
OF the total consumption of petrol
cum products in all fields last year.
Tie expanding use of diesel pouUer
by Great Northern is of tWo-fold con-
sequence: better rai[way service and
rect conservation of Americas oil
resources.

DEESELS EASY ON OIL SUPPLY

Farmers and ranchers have learned
that while medium-size tractor costs
more than team of horses, it has far
greater work capacity, nd in the long
pull is more economical ..Ian Old Dobbin.
What the tractor is to the man on the
land, the diesel locomotive has become
to the railway industry. Diesel freight,
passenger and switching locomotives are
going to work for the nations railways
in increasing numbers Great Northern
now has in service 15o diesels, or 276 sep
arate units of this power. Although more
are on order, the diesel is not expected to
completely replace the steam locomotive
for long tineif ever.
A diesel locomotive costs more than
a steam eng inc of comparable power
rating; but, from there on the difference
markedly favors the diesel. Expanded
use of diesel power is keeping down
operating costs extremely vital
factor these days when wage, ma
terial and supply costs are far out
Of pre- portion to charges the rail-
ways are told they can make for

The diesel locomotive is superior to
its steam driven cousin in many other
respects. 1t is able to haul freight

Inadequate ana poorly kept high
ways make cross-country travel in
Summer a difficult matter. With no
sign of a railroad, transportation will
have to depend on the northern sea-
route and air transport for a long
time to come. Lichen and moss grow
in abundance without planting, be-
sides algae, the only plant life sur
viving a hundred million years of
evolution without any appreciate
change. This makes it possible for
the reindeers to feed the year around
by changing from Summer to Winter
range, always on guard, against bears
and wolves, the only two predatory
animals doing any considerable dam
age.
