Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A New Locomotive It may not be long before the steam Jocomotives now in use on American railroads will have gone the way of the one-hoss-shay and in their places will be Diesel powered engines, ope- rating with less puffing, less smoke and less cost. With thousands of trainmen idle, hundreds in our own state, the de- velopment will not be hailed with joy, nevertheless, it appears to be one of those things which will de- velop rapidly because of the need for|| reducing the costs of railroad ope-|~ ration. A test has been made of a loco- motive of this kind, manufactured by a great electrical company, over five million car miles and 100,000 hours of service. It is regarded as a proved Buccess. If this is true the next step will be their gradual adoption as stan- dard railroad practice and the elimin- ation of the types of locomotive with which we are familiar. The engine with which the test ‘was made was operated with a full crew. There was no work for the fire- man to do so he was assigned to the task of checking signals. Important labor savings were made, however, in roundhouse expenses. The new-type engine was run into the garage at the end of the day and taken out again the next morning. There were no services performed on it in the meantime. The cost sheet tells the story of this new transportation development. Its makers claim that the Diesel- Powered unit, replacing a steam loco- motive in switching service, cost $2.991 per hour in service while the steam locomotive cost $5.811. The Diesel unit reduced crew wages from $2.275 on the steam plant to 91 cents on the Diesel engine. Fuel and lubricants dropped from 94.6 cents Per hour to 288 cents and mainten- ance from $1.55 to $1.166. Interest and depreciation alone, of all the cost items, was higher on the new device, being $1.166 per hour as compared with $1.04 on the steam engine. Unquestionably this is only one of 4 score of developments and improve- ments which will affect the Ameri- can industrial écheme within the next few years. It brings another step nearer the time when all work will be done by push- ing @ button, when the amount of human labor which needs to be done } is relatively small. A system should be devised so that the social order may be adjusted to the changes which have been made in the past and which will be made in the fu- ture; a system which will make these new devices the slaves of humanity rather than monsters which cause suffering and want. Japan and the League Tt seems inevitable that Japan will break with the League of Nations. As a result of the Manchurian situa- tion, she will either withdraw or be expelled. The result will be the same, the first really great test upon this machine set up by the nations to| preserve the peace of the world. In the past the League has demon- Btrated no great strength. Because 60 many conflicting interests have been involved in the questions presented to it, it has been forced to move slowly or not at all. But now the League comes face to face with a clear-cut issue on which it can make but two decisions. Either Japen is right or Japan is wrong. The ruling, to date, has been that she has been wrong in her ag- The | Bismarck Tribune and commercial/ prisals, summoned before any congressional committee to explain his words, simply because he is not, like David! holdey civilized nations, and the force of world opinion.

But the once-docile German people have changed. Where before there Was quiet submission there now is a Spirit of fight.

Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard || to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, An Indictment That Carries Weight (Minneapolis Tribune) Mr. Garner has been in congress long enough to know whereof he speaks regarding its limitations. When he cites these limitations as, warrant for conferring broad dicta- torial powers on President-elect Roo- Sevelt, the nation is certain to listen respectfully. There is little doubt that he offers the best possible argu- ment for granting these powers when he declares: “It has been actually demonstrated that congress can’t re- duce government expenses as it should be done. There are three or jfour outstanding minorities in this country—I won't name them—which work to prevent congress from effect- ing reorganization and economy.” An admission such as this, coming as it does from such a seasoned house veteran Mr. Garner and from the vice president-elect, strikes us as highly significant. fect, that Mr. Garner realizes that much of the reorganization and econ- omy talk which emanates from con- gress is pure humbug. It is tanta- mount to a confession that congress ‘annot be depended upon to do what right in regard to economy and re- organization because congress yields to the pressure of powerful minor- suggestion that congress can be in- fluenced by votes, that it puts con- siderations of expediency before the nation’s needs, and that there are influences at work which prevent the best and most effective exercise of its authot Hence, Mr. Garner argues, coming president certain broad pow. ers which it is prevented, by minorit Pressures, from using as it should. It is not surprising that the Repub- lica aS a group, should oppose a liberal grant of authority to Mr. Roo- sevelt. Mr. Garner would probabl. be the last man in congress to con- demn them for that, because as a shrewd politician he understands the tricks of the trade, and can scarcely have forgotten that the Democrat under his leadership, have consistent: ly opposed the enlargement of Mr. | Hoover's powers. What is surprising, however, is that Mr. Garner has within the week ¢con- firmed the impression that congress, for all the senate's self-righteous fury | over David Barry's literary indiscre-| tions, is not as honest as it likes to have the public think it is. | The senate’s hapless sergeant-at-j arms was fool-hardy enough to sug- | gest that the votes of a few rep-| resentatives and senators could ac-| tually be bought with cash. Mr. Gar- ner would indignantly deny this, and more than likely he would be correct. But Mr. Garner himself has admit-| ted that congress cannot economize nor effect the necessary reorgani tion of government because it is pre-| vented from doing so by “three or! four outstdnding minorit none of | which he cares to name. has ad- mitted that congress, even if it can- not be bought for money, ean be, bought by votes: that even if it is} too honest to sell its convictions for | cash, it is not too honest to refuse to alter them when powerful blocs of voters crack the whip. This yielding to pressure is not bribery, and it is not graft, but it is the giving of something in return for favors at the | polls, or through fear of group re-| Mr. Garner, of course, will not be and n insignificant federal job- But he has implanted in the ind, just as certainly as Mr. public’ m! did, the t con- suspicion that gress can be bought, and by the votes that organized minorities wave before it. forever : It means, in ef-j) ities.
