Payne Co, cmoacg” New FORK" BOSTON The Lines Are Drawn One of the hottest battles which will be waged this year in the national congress and in some 28 state legislatures will be that between the railroads and their employes and s governmental policy which, it is claimed, threatens the prosperity and existence of the rail car- riers, The fight relates to a continuance of present policies of highway and waterway development. In recent weeks numerous statements have been made by railroad executives as to the effect of waterway and road transportation development on railway earnings. ‘The claim is made that each competes with the railroads, and that each is subsidized by money taken from the taxpayer. Predicating their argument on the fact that the rail- roads are heavy taxpayers, the claim is made that the rail carriers are being mulcted to support competition of the keenest sort. To meet this situation, the rail- roads want the government to stop its waterway build- ing activity and they want the states to impose heavy taxes on commercial motor truck transportation. The railroads have encountered difficulty in enlisting public sympathy for their side of the argument. The average citizen has been quite content to let them fight their own battles and his main interest has been to see that they don’t get too much the best of the argument. Now, however, @ new and powerful force has been’ enlisted to assist the railroad propaganda in the form of the railroad unions. Decreased carloadings and the sight of motor trucks: carrying produce to market which might otherwise go by rail have caused members of the brotherhoods to get, excited on the subject. As competition cuts into railroad business these men see the number of jobs grow fewer and fewer. They are interested in the prosperity of ‘their employers since good times for the railroads mean good times for them. Whatever will protect their Jobs is desirable and worth fighting for, and hence we have the rather unusual spectacle of railroad managements and railroad workers engaged in @ common effort for the benefit of the railroad business. The arguments which they will present will be an- swered by the waterway and motor truck folks, of course. No one ever heard an unanswerable argument presented to a law-making body, either for or against any proposal. The significant thing, however, is that the cause of the railroads has taken on new importance now that the railroad employes have fallen in line. No one doubts’ that the battle will be flerce and bitter. The outcome will be worth watching. It may have an important bear- ing on the future development of the country and its economic progress over @ long span of years. Another Hardship Vanishes Persons who have visited Glacier National Park or who hope to do so will be interested in the report that’ @ new tunnel, 183 feet long, nine feet high and six feet wide will shorten the trail to the northern scenic section’ of the park by about 10 miles. ‘The tunnel pierces what is known as Ptarmigan Wall, which is about 2,000 feet high. It enters the wall at a Point 1,000 feet from the base. A scene of great beauty is presented from either end of the bore which was) made to shorten the trip from Many Glacier to the Belly River country. By the old route it was 10 miles of hard riding on, horseback over rugged trails. The new route is much shorter and gives, in addition, one of the most pic- turesque views in this land of scenic wonders, As an engineering feat the tunnel is not remarkable. Other tunnels sre longer and larger. However, there ‘was one phase of the work which drew attention. It is the fact that the bore was drilled at @ point 60 miles tion into the present day; the nation cannot exist half sick and half well. If rottenness grips the big cities, its influence is bound to extend throughout the country. Unless some way of cleaning up the situation is speedily found, every American will some day be feeling the ef- fects of it. Advertising Policies “The firm which eliminates or radically curtails its advertising at this time in the interest of economy is pursuing a short-sighted policy,” says Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, in a statement to Sturges Dorrance, prominent New York advertising ex- pert. “Advertising,” explains Dr. Klein, “is to national bust- ness at the present moment just what initiative, cour- age and resourcefulness are to an individual. All signs indicate that we have reached the bottom of the decline and indeed in some places we are gradually moving up- wards. Never was there a better opportunity for sound management, coupled with advertising having a real message, to help the business of the country get started on its climb back to prosperity.” There is a good deal of sound sense in that. The busi- ness man who cuts down on his advertising in time of stress can hardly have any call to complain if his sales fall off. 2 Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published with- out regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Dressing for Winter Driving (St. Paul Dispatch) Each year since winter automobile driving has become practicable many motorists have been subjected to great suffering through failure to prepare properly for bad Now That Bobby Jones Hasn’t Any weather, as Dakota travelers learned during the past week. A stalled car, through motor trouble or snow blockade, is a possibility which can not be overlooked nd motorists starting on a long winter drive should be clothed well enough to meet such emergencies. Science has made many advances in the field of motor transportation, most of them within the past few years. From a time when automobiles were commonly put in cold storage with the first snowfall the situation has changed. Hard surfaced roads and changes in car con- struction, as well as snow-removal programs of highway departments, have made winter motoring practical. However, neither car builders nor road builders have succeeded in getting northwestern weather entirely in hand. Minnesota winters are still able to command the respect of all travelers and the blizzard is a contingency: to consider. When starting out on a long motor trip the best advice is to prepare for the worst, however remote the possibility of meeting it may seem.

To Curb Bombing (Minneapolis Journal) Since bombing is a steadily growing menace to the peace and safety of the larger American cities, other states will watch with interest Missouri's attempt to send to the scaffold two Kansas City bombers, under a new law imposing the death penalty on those who ex- plode infernal machines, regardless of whether fatal- ities result. Missouri's laws heretofore have made no special pro- vision for the crime of bombing. If the bomber failed to kill, the only offense with which he could be charged was malicious destruction of property, or an attempt at. such destruction. So bombing became more and more popular in Kansas City, as a means of settling private disputes, or enforcing the edicts of racketeers. The legislature last year passed a law making bomb- ing a crime as serious as murder or bank robbery. If the bomhb endangers human life, then those who explode it, and those who help them, may be sentenced to hang. Whether in states that retain capital punishment for murder, the death penalty is warranted for bombing, with no intent to kill, is a moot question. In the Kansas City case the target was an uncompleted apartment building, and the endangering of the lives of sleepers in adjacent houses was merely incidental. ‘When a man takes a gun and tries to kill an enemy, he usually endangers no one except that enemy. But when a man takes a bomb and tries to damage his) enemy's property, “he endangers the lives of others. From a moral viewpoint he is at least as bad as, and probably worse than, the fellow with the gun. He should be punished at least as severely as the fellow with the Great Words, Little Deeds (St. Paul Dispatch) Mayor Bundlie of St. Paul has been in Washington from a railroad and at s point where machinery had to| 8nd comes away with information from Presidential be packed in by horses and mules, Secretary Walter Newton that the administration op- poses a bond issue to finance immediate completion of ‘There are many who will scoff at the new tunnel as/ the inland waterway Previously President & device to lessen the hardships of the wild places and| Hoover set himself against postponing national debt re- which will permit the soft and physically weak to visit| titement to permit large expansion of public works, in- places which hitherto have been reserved exclusively sing waterways, in time to relleve unemployment.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Liver and Pancreas Question: V.E.T. asks: “Would a diseased pancreas cause disorder of the liver or a diseased liver cause a diseased pancreas? It seems that in my case both organs are affected, causing aching of the lower limbs, inability to lift heavy weights, burning of the urine, nerv- ousness, a sallow color, with some- times boils and abscesses. A liver stimulant helps, but has to be taken regularly, The doctor says it will not do to drain the liver that often.” Answer: The liver and the pan- creas do affect each other, but the use of a‘correct, well balanced diet would’ doubtlessly adjust the trouble you have which apparently started from overworking the liver through the use of too much food. Try cutting down your amount of food to a third, and for a time. eliminate starches, sugars and fats. Pepper and Horse-radish Question: R. F. B. asks: “Is pep- per harmful to the system? Is horse- radish a good vegetable to eat or is it harmful?” Answer: I do not advise the use of pepper. Horse-radish may be use@_. to a limited amount with a protein meal but should not be used with starches because it stimulates too much hydrochloric acid in the stom; sultation on a case in a hospital. | ach. Three surgeons had said that an oper- ation was imperative to save the pa- tient’s life because of a bowel ob- struction. I examined her and said that I thought it a good plan to keep the patient under observation a few days and to give her two colon irri- gations each day. The result was that the patient felt so much better in @ week that she went home and has been improving ever since. Do you think that the surgeons thanked me for showing them that the simple method worked out better? Well, anyhow, ‘I made friends with the pa- tient and her family, and that is what really counts, I am glad to know that most doc- tors sincerely try to look out for the Patient’s interests, and that the money-grabbers are the exception rather than the rule.

"Today Is the | i Anniversary of | CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH On Nov. 29, 1778, the British cap- tured Savannah, Ga, in their suc- cessful expedition into the South dur- ing the Revolutionary War. Despairing, after Burgoyne’s sur- render in Saratoga, of winning suc- cess in the North, the British decided to concentrate in the extreme South and conquer the country by cutting off one state after another. A British detachment sent by boat from New York and another already stationed in Georgia, combined to subdue Savannah. After the city was taken many of the colonists, pleased by treatment accorded them by their conquerors, flocked in great numbers to British standards. Georgia was subsequently con- quered and a royal governor rein- stated. The following year the Americans, under General Lincoln, | 11 tried to capture Savannah but were defeated with heavy losses. Not long after this Sir Henry Clinton conducted ® British expedition against Charles- ton and captured the city with Lin- colin and his whole army.
