O. Smith, Lest We Forget Memorial Day is one of those special occasions which America approaches prayerfully and reverently and with ® full realization of her glorious past. But that is not enough. If this day is to mean what St should to all of us, we should also take time to think of the FUTURE. Less than 20 years ago America looked back upon the Spanish-American war with no thought that the next few years again would see her sons enrolled for faction, again upon @ foreign field, as actors in one of the @Breatest dramas in all history. There wete widows and lonely mothers then to hope nd pray that another war might be avoided—just as today there still are empty hearts, ravaged by the last ‘ Thus, Memorial Day is both an opportunity and a _ Tesson. It permits the nation to honor its heroic dead in a definite way and, at the same time, gives pause to take stock of its history and perchance glean knowledge for use in the future. The way in which this observance came into being— and the cause of it—note the case well. In 1867 some women in Columbus, Mississippi, went but to decorate the town. The war was over. They had suffered intense hardship. Hope for the future as well @s an effort to lighten their pressing burdens were ex- {pressed by this community action. The war graves of the Confederate dead were still fresh only two years after the close of the conflict and it became their sad privilege to decorate these last rest- ing places. T ehind the Scenes in Washington WITH RODNEY DUTCHER Ls TRANSPORTATION AGENCY LEGISLATION ... New Deal Measures Would Place Railroads on Even Terms With Competing Water and Highway Lines, ... Curb Sought on Bankers in Reorganisation Plans. eee Washington, May 30.—The transportation phase of the president’s “must” program has lagged more than any other. It includes several bills. Some of them prob- oy will be passed by congress at this session and others not. The announced aim of the measures, most of them Proposed by Co-ordinator Joseph B. Eastman, is a unified, efficient national transportation system which would use each method of transport to the best advantage, dis- courage uses in services where they are not best adapted, Promote co-operation, and build up a financially and economically sound system furnishing the best possible service, Especially desired by Roosevelt are the bills which would bring bus and truck and water traffic under regu- lation of the interstate commerce commission, which now regulates the railroads. The bus and truck bill has passed the senate and probably will be passed by the house, though the water carrier bill may not go through at this session. eee RAILROADS HANDICAPPED Unregulated competition from trucks, buses, ships, and barges has been one of the chief troubles of the railroads, themselves subject to rigorous supervision. In the last 15 years nearly $20,000,000,000 has been invested in non-rail competition—including highways—as against only $6,000,000,000 in railroads. oe ~ a: Memorial Day | COO The result is an oversupply of transportation facili- ties and cut-throat competition, which has led to demor- alized conditions, The administration idea is to put the competing agencies on even terms with the rail carriers.. Meanwhile, the railroads face an era of reorganiza- tion and Roosevelt and Eastman want to change the bankruptcy act to keep Wall Street “pirates” from con- trolling reorganization and refinancing of distressed roads. Bankers and promoters—as in the case of Morgan and the Van Sweringens in the Missouri Pacific mixup— are able to block reorganizations now, through the pro- vision enabling a one-third stock interest to do so, while insisting on plans more advantageous to themselves. eee REGULATION SOUGHT The house interstate commerce committee, under Chairman Sam Rayburn, has been holding hearings on bill broadening federal court authority in determining fairness of reorganization plans, putting bondholders’ “protective committees” under I. C. C. regulation, and providing careful scrutiny of reorganization trustees. If the house acts favorably, Senator Burton Wheeler; in charge of the transportation bills in the senate, is all set to push the measure. Congress presumably will accede to Roosevelt's desire to extend the term of the federal co-ordinator of trans- portation (Eastman) for at least another year. The chief duty of the co-ordinator is to study and outline transportation plans for the future and eliminate waste and other evils. eee FIGHT TO ABOLISH CURBS The American Association of Railroads would like to have the office abolished, as it wants the railroads to make their own plans and to annul the present law which prevents railroads from $etting rid of labor at will. (Eastman has ® plan to take care of that problem over a period of years and for payment of dismissal com- pensation on an approximate basis of a half-month’s pay for each year of service.) Air transportation and pipelines would eventually be regulated by I. C. C. under the administration plan. It is proposed to increase the I. C. C. from 11 to 15 members, create divisions for each new field of regula- tion, and appoint a permanent chairman—the chairman- ship now rotates from year to year—who would promote But among them were the graves of a number of Union veterans. What of them? The gracious spirit of the Southland prevailed. After all, the war was over and there was no good reason for perpetuating its bitterness. Flowers were strewn on the graves of dead friend and former foe alike. One of the witnesses to this act of neighborly com- passion was Francis Miles Finch, a northerner. The epi- | Gode inspired him to write “The Blue and the Gray,” one of America’s immortal poems. It, too, served to heal the bitterness of the Civil war and to convince both North | @nd South alike that their common destiny demanded friendly relations. May 30 was selected as the day for a similar observ- ‘ance elsewhere in 1868 when Gen. John A. Logan, com- mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, designated it as a time for decorating the graves of those speed and efficiency. eee PLAN BUS CONTROL The motor carrier bill, backed by state regulating commissions and most bus operators, but few truckers, provides comprehensive interstate regulation of rates, fares, and practices—which must be just, reasonable, and not discriminatory. Motorized common carriers would be licensed and a showing of public interest and financial responsibility required, with bonds to protect the traveling and ship- ping public. Prevention of excessive rates, control over mergers, and promotion of safety are provided. The water carrier bill, covering ships in interstate and foreign commerce on oceans, lakes, and rivers, would remove regulating powers from the department of com- merce’s shipping board bureau and give the I. C. C. power to prescribe maximum rates when necessary to correct discrimination or remove prejudice against American {who had fallen in the defense of the nation. From these two sources, one North and one South, he custom spread until today it is observed throughout the land. No federal law supports it. No proclamation fis needed. It has more dignity than either law or proc- Samation could give it. It is an accepted custom of the people. In‘later years, the observance has grown to include fthe decoration of all graves, both military and non-mili- tary. This is right and proper, for there have been Sheroes of peace as well as of war and all are united in fhe bond of death. ‘Thus even the slightest observance forces us to look beyond this vale of tears. Even as we thrill to the mem- pry of our heroes, we are forced to the conclusion that Soany of these deaths were needless, that more of under- @tanding, of compassion, of reasonableness and of neigh- orliness would have spared the hundreds of thousands Pf deaths in the Civil war—there were 359,528 DEATHS “pmong the Union Forces ALONE. Had the statesmen of the world exercised the same traits which so often are called into play between neigh- bors, the 55,000 American dead in the World war—end the millions in other nations—might have been spared. Mven as we glory in the finest examples of national fheroism we ponder the inability to keep the peace which thas marred so much of history. Thinking calmly and sanely, we recognize anew the fhorrors of war and the fact that it really settles nothing. {Women wonder if they are even now rearing sons to die fon far-off battle fields. Men, including the veterans of | the last war, are pondering ways to protect the nation ‘and its honor and, at the same time, avoid the possibili- ties of future conflict. Voices from the grave call in tones of thunder, urg- fing us to keep the nation safe but warning us against unnecessary sacrifices of blood and treasure. They cry out to us to take heed of the past, to be- ware the pitfalls into which we heretofore hate stumbled. Theirs is the voice of the highest possible patriotism and ‘they ask that we shall not permit them to have died in vain. It is a sacred injunction; one which cannot lightly ‘be dismissed from mind. It demands that we remember ‘them, not only on Memorial day but in all times of crisis when blood runs hot and speech is bold. It urges that America adopt the position of a strong man, secure in th& household. It demands that we do NOT forget, CRE Ignorance of the law is no excuse, the courts rule. exports, as well as minimum rates where necessary. eee EASTMAN EXPLAINS AIM Eastman says: “The ultimate objective is a system of transportation for the nation which will supply the most efficient means of transport and furnish service as cheaply as is consist- ent with fair treatment of labor and with earnings which will support adequate credit and the ability to expand as need develops, and to take advantage of all improve- ments in the art. “This system of transportation must be in the hands of reliable operators, whose charges for service will be known, dependable, and reasonable, and free from unjust discrimination.” With Other DITORS Chain Store Kickback Reprinted to show what they say. We may or may not agree with them. (Valley City Times-Record) The Standard Oil Company of Indiana has an- nounced that because Iowa has enacted a chain store tax it is going out of the retail service, station business in that state, and will lease its 350 service stations. Which action will probably serve to focus attention on a matter that has been much debated. So far as gas service stations are concerned there will likely be no shortage for Iowa citizens; but the principle of how much tax the chain store should be asked to pay just because it is a chain store is the vexed question. Those whose duty it is to lay taxes and see to their collection have searched high and low for new sources of revenue. Bee Heat Principle that the chain store is a usiness conduc! y owners of large capital who live outside the state and that it should therefore eon- tribute heavily to the upkeep of the state expenses, there has been a disposition to lay a heavy tax. That this has Bone to the extent, in some cases, of extreme severity will probably be admitted. The Standard Oil company seems to feel this is the situation in Iowa and in protest it withdraws. Taxing bodies have long followed the plan of “soak- ing the rich.” That has become the stock in trade of a vast number of political speakers who suggest that our troubles are mainly to be traced to the exactions of men who are in control of large capital. In the minds of a great many people the fact that a man has become well to do is @ sure sign that he has been crooked in his deal- ings. A firm that has grown great is likewise branded ‘as iniquitous, and anything that penalizes it is hailed as being for the popular benefit. But after a number of years of “soaking the rich” it does not appear that the ordinary man is very much further on toward the goal of prosperity; in fact his troubles seem to increase. The only way he has been able to live is by burdening future Generations with a staggering debt as the government Of course, anyone should be able to remember the two (iillion’or more laws which we are supposed to obey.

On the other hand we must all admit that in the period when big capital was going ahead with its enterprise we ordinary folks were living well, getting good incomes, and generally prosperous.

Ps OLITICS = at the - es | By HERBERT PLUMMER Washington, May 30.—Although no one dares hazard a guess as to when congress will wind up the present ses- sion, there are indications around capitol hill that the '36 elections al- ready are coming in for serious at- tention, Almost every day word of a new contest is passed around the corridors. Members of the house have their eyes on the other side of the capitol and are preparing to go after them in the prinsaries. Such gossip has it that Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas, dean of both houses in point of continuous service, will have a fight on his hands next year. Two members of the house —Martin Dies of Jasper and Orange, and Joe Eagle of Houston—are both reported planning to run against him. ee * Kentucky Battle Seen Rumor has it also that a first class contest is in the offing in Kentucky where the portly Senator Logan is up for re-election. Fred M. Vinson, a house six-termer and author of the much discussed plan to pay the sol- diers’ bonus which was shelved in favor of the Patman proposal, is re- ported girding himself to run against Logan. Senator Logan, a former chief jus- tice of the Kentucky court of ap- peals, created something of a stir in the senate shortly after his election by declaring rather ironically that he didn’t want to come to the senate in the first place and that since he had been there he was not at all sure he cared about vine. * * Chaves May Be Opposed Senator Capper, Republican of Kansas, is reported to have run into political difficulties by his support of “new deal” legislation. He has been charged by some members of his party with being a better Democrat than Republican and an effort may be made to unseat him in ‘36. The attitude displayed by the group of senate liberals when Dennis Chavez of New Mexico presented) himself to take the oath of office to fill out the unexpired term of Bron- son Cutting makes certain a lively senatorial contest in that state next year. The six senators who absented themselves from the chamber while Chavez, 8 Democrat, was being sworn in, are prepared to invade New Mexico if necessary in 1936. The pro- gressive bloc in both houses went to the support of Cutting in 1934 and have said privately they are willing to take the field again for the cause which the New Mexico progressive sponsored. ‘ Both Chavez and New Mexico's other Domocratic senator, Carl Hatch, serving unexpired terms, will be up for re-election in ‘36. From present indications the senatorial contests in that state promise to be very much in the national spotlight next year.

It involved muscles of the legs and feet. A year later she had made a fair recovery but still had some limp or drag in the foot by reason of which she preferred. to avoid playing games and even going to school. Not because she was par- alyzed but from a perfectly natural inferiority complex which a child is almost certain to develop when such a handicap comes. Children are sav- ages, you know, and without any thought of malice or even consciousness ot the pain, they laugh at the awkwardness or the disability of a playmate, especially one who has previously been as strong or as swift as any. By the way, here is a common situation in which parent or teacher can do much to inculcate true manliness or womanliness in the character of the child, ‘The parents of this victim of poliomyelitis are typical neurotics, both of them, and no wonder, for they have tainted blood in their veins; never mind which taint, but suffice to say that poor material was used in their making. I mention this, not because it any am sure it hasn’t, her illness it throws considerable light on Just a year after the attac! ir i § d disease or by the laying on of the thought that “doctors can’t do any more for her,” they took the child to the charlatan and submitted her to his hocus-pocus, not just once, as you might expect of a miracle worker, but for a regular course of treatments. : drag in her walk, and we are going to take her back for another treatment for that. It takes a little time, of course. Nature has to help in the cure In other words the child is precisely in the condition she would have been in if the charlatan and his miracle business had never been heard of. But the parents, poor dupes, are infatuated with the kind of publicity they obviously enjoy, and the unfortunate child derives pleasure from the atten- tion thus focused upon her. This is the way to train neurotic. Unless some- thing happens to bring these credulous parents to their senses, the child is ate Tad to become the subject of hysteria which will handicap her whole life, Any victim of infantile paralysis who makes the gains this child: made in the first year after the attack may fairly expect to recover Perfectly in another six months, through regular exercises alone. Here is a commonplace occurrence exploited as a miracle. That's the way ignorant folk like it.
