CAN HELP BUSINESS Both the gross revenue and the net operating . Editor BURNS A income of the “larger railroad systems show al , decided improvement over a year ago. The figures for most of the systems: for April are now available. While they are still far from ” satisfactory, as compared with normal pre-war conditions, the improvement is sufficient te indi- cate that the long-hoped-for business revival may be under way. These April figures ought to and undoubtedly will be seriously’ considered by the, Interstate Commerce Commission in making up its decisiqn on the question of revising freight and passenger rates downward. The country’s industries are making ‘a’ gallarit struggle to get on their feet and they need every bit of help they can get. , Important among these industries are the rail- roads, which can prosper only as there is general prosperity. And ‘it cannot be too often repeated that rail- road rates higher than the traffic will bear.are as bad for the railroads as for other industries. te At that, the pioneer airmen are having a lower mortality rate than the first ocean navigators. TOBACCO AND EDUCATION Americans are quite given to boasting of their! large expenditures for public education. From the point. of yiew of relativity the boast- ing doesn’t square with the facts. ‘ We spend something less than $1,000,000,000 a year on public education. \ ra In:,1920 our tobacco bill was more than double this and for face powder, cosmetics, : perfumes, etc., ‘we spent three-quarters of a billion. For every dollar we spend on public edycation, we spend 25'cents for ice cream, 50 cents for jew-} elry, 35 cents for soft drinks nad ‘30 cents: for furs. . f : ; The $50,000,000 ai year we.spend for chewing’ gum is twoand a half times the total expenditutes for normal Schools ‘and almost exactly the same as all state and city appropriations for higher education. ' £ The U. S. Commissioner of Education points out that if we would smoke two cigarets instead of three, two cigars instead of three, take two chews instead of three, and add the money thus save to the teachers’ ‘payroll, the salaries of teachers could be increased 120 per cent. As it is pretty generally admitted that our teachers as a class are criminally undepaid, these figures are, 'to say the least, rather humiliating. “We think we believe. in-education,” says Clax- ton. “No doubt, we do believe in education.in a way, but. we have not paid and do not pay much for it.” if The mixed commission ‘sent by the suprem: | council to study the Silesian question probably will be more mixed after studying it. poe S LS ie an PASS THE SWEET BILL UNAMENDED_, The Sweet bill now pending on Congress is de- signed to decentralize the activities of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, to the end that the dis- abled soldiers get long-delayed justice. ~ This decentralization of the bureau’s powers is| a measure that has long been insisted on by all experts who have studied the disabled soldier sit- uation. It is contended that it would do away with most of the red tape that has hampered the administra- tion of the soldier rehabilitation laws and has done much to discourage the men the laws were intended to benefit. At the eleventh hour an attempt is being made to bari the bill in such a way as to render it entirely ineffective to accomplish th which it was designed. . adapt is F. W. Galbraith, Jr., national commander of the American Legion, has protested to Congress against the amendment of the bill. He presents facts and figures to show that the proposed amendment would result in the disabled soldiers getting about 20 cents on the dollar. “It is just this parsimonious spirit that the legion has fought,” says Galbraith. “These dis- | abled men didn’t quibble over terms when they joined the colors. We believe the nation backs us in insisting that the government now provide for them in a way that everyone agrees is best.” The case which Galbraith makes for the pass- Z xis ney \ am _Y. W..C.

The occasion was the tenth congress of; the Bolshevist party, the speech being reported in the official Bolshevist press." | Lenin frankly admitted that the relations be- | tween, the soviet government and the Russian | peasantry “are not what we had believed them to, |be.” He added that the peasants are not satis- |fied; that they do not care for the economic re-' |forms. which the soviets havé offered them and: that the refusal of the peasants to subseribe to | the Bolshevist creed was the greatest peril which {the soviet government faced. That it is a very great peril indeed is obvious |when one considers that the peasantry make up ithe great bulk of the Russian population; esti-/ | mated at 85 per cent. | | What Lenin and his followers have been and ‘are still trying to do is to impose-upon the great :mass of the Russian people a form of government | which, they detest and refuse to accept, beyond |the point that they are forced to, to save thei | Director Sack of the'U.'S. Russian Information Bureau points out in a recent statement that the bolshevism at present... He suggests the impossi- | bility of concessions to the peasants that will | bring them into line with the Bolshevists, because ithe things that the peasants ‘4 strike at the very heart of the: Bolshevist® Pr. CPs sf The granting of such concessions would spell ‘the doom of bolshevism:and the Bolsheviki are not inclined to commit suicide. The answer, according to Sack, is that bolshe- vism will be destroyed by the growing Anti-Bol- | shevist movements among the Russian peasants, which are already expressing themselvs in armed uprisings here and there and wil lsoon culminate | in a general revolution. The fact that Sack is an Anti-Bolshevist. propa- gandist seems to be more than balanced by the fact that his prophecy is a logical sequence to the | Lenin speech. : : : | Summer dresses and some’re thin excuses, 1 There are’ worse things than going to school these nice spring days, but you don’t notice them until you grow up. a A ———————___ ‘ Lowly: mortals who have little else but space and ‘time ought to be vitally interested in the Einstein | tlteoy, of existence. wae Since the girls wore short skirts last winter to be comfortable one blushes to think what they will wear when dog days are upon us, | A six-year-old boy is making $2,500 a week in the movies.

They do not need to; waste their time gotting food to eat, for there is not enough food to feed them, and what little, there is the government undertakes to control. They do not have tc buy clothing and fuel to fight the cold, for there is no clothing and fuel to be bought by those that need them most. It is use- less: to work .if they will, for there is no work to, be done by which they can earn a fair living. | They have reached that desirable state where: poverty and distress are universal, and after be-| ing destroyed by approved Bolshevist methods | the bourgeois class is in no worse destitution than The system of leveling down has worked per- fectly, until there are no differences in the stages! of misery and privation in which the Russian peo- ‘ple live. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the. beneficient instrument through:which Lenine has| -attained his ends, has triumphed over its enemies and laid Russia in general ruin—New York World.

It remains now to be seen, whether he is going to he provide! with export markets now. or a post} mortem later.” , 4 These are, the words of Carl Vroc- {man, former assistant secretary of agriculture, in his: manifesto calling; for the passage of a ‘law forming el corporation.
