Call for Economy. . pes GOVERNOR in his maiden message to the legislature calls for economy all along the} line, state, county and municipal. It is not a new call but it is an urgent one. Governor Carey de- manded it midway of his term, when the spending orgy had barely begun to subside. The guberna- torial candidates, without exception, in the re- cent primaries and election advocated the reduc- tion of public expenses and likewise taxes upon the people. More than one candidate bluntly in- formed the world that several heretofore large and prosperous interests were bankrupt and de-| linquent tax sales were never so large as in this year of grace. Governor Rass reiterates the same statements in his message excepting a few favored localities | where local activities have saved the situation. The governor has done his part, the retiring gov “ernor did his part and the candidates did their, part to call to the attention of the people and those whom the people have chosen to represent “them in the legislature. Further action and res- ~-ponsibility is upon the shoulders of the Seven- teenth legislature. While the cost of state government is not the heavy end of burden upon the people, still it can be reduced by eliminating many boards and com- missions by consolidation and by abolishing de- partments that fail to serve the purpose for which “tkey were created. Notably the immigration and law enforcement departments. The former is and always has been more or less of a joke, and the “latter simply duplicated and hampered enforcing machinery already in existence. Both are super- fluour and should be abolished. The legislature has the opportuni work in economy and to set a wor counties, cities and school districts. If the membership is serious minded and recog- nizes the necessity of lifting burdens and obeying the public will they can make a record as public servants; but if the members in the aggregate aim no higher than so many in the past have done constituents will rather rejoice when the day for adjournment arrives. i tS Chop ’Em Off. OX CORNERS of several of the main business streets there are the ends of bolts imbedded in the concrete sidewalks formerly used as anchor- ‘age for light posts, trash cans or other purposes. “The ends of these bolts protrude from an inch to ‘an inch and a half. They answer no useful pur- pose whatever and they are a constant menace to pedestrians. They are there, and offer a very “convenient obstacle to trip over or stub your toe on, Only the other day a man on crutches struck one of these bolts on the Stockmen’s Bank corner and was saved from further serious injury by a passer-by. It is possibly a small matter but a very aggra- vating one to the users of sidewalks and many have wondered why the bolt ends have not been removed. . There is no reason why they should remain. They are neither useful nor ornamental and it would be no great effort for some city department to send a competent man around to chop -these stub ends off and possibly relieve the city from a future damage sult. + The removal of the bolt ends might save con- siderable profanity on occasion and also keep some citizen’s temper sweet. Seta Add More Stories. GENCE the motor vehicle has become the neces- \O sity it is, and everyone most owns one, and they clutter up the streets in the awful fashion they do, and occupy such a vast acreage of parking space in the congested portions of cities something must ponitively be done about the matter. Just what, it is a little early to say, but it will do no harm for the engineers and designers for the big motor car concerns of the country to look over the prob- lem, earnestly, in order to ‘have a solution ready when the situation has got beyond possible rem- edy with the means at hand. The number of automobiles in private owner ship increases every day. The factories make them in greater number than ever before. Much faster than the joyriders and reckless navigators smash them to pieces. There is alwnys a great surplus énhand. So all in all, things are bound to grow to do a real y example to 1p and 16! Hp. 4 worse and cars will be more numerous, just as rapidly as prospective owners can find the means | for the first payment. Already we have enough motor vehicles in commission to take our entire population of a hundred and fifteen millions joy- riding at the same time. This number of ‘cars require considerable street room and parking room and it is high time design- ers got busy. We see no way out of the dilemma and afford room for the few walkers left on earth to get about with any degree of comfort and safety, undess the builders of cars resort to the same principle ar- chitects and builders were forced to come to in the large cities—the skyscraper idea. Build the cars from two to five stories high and carry more people. The people seem bound to go and go cars. The streets are now fully occupied and there is no more room, so We will have to have fewer cars do the same present work. better be taken up at once with Mr. Ford, Mr. Packard, Mr. Essex, Mr. Dodge and the numer- ous other builders, Have Outside Knowledge.’ MAN can not have a too familiar knowledge of topics which are not an essential part of his professional or business equipment. He should have as large a knowledge as possible of economics, history, literature and all those branches which do not enter into his own field of activity, if for no other reason than to preserve what you might term his mental health. Otherwise he is in danger of becoming one-sided and that is a very unfortunate experience for any man. Virtually every engineering school in the country is now run on this plan, of giving some knowledge of subjects of a general bearing. A student should not have his liberty in selecting courses curtailed too much. He should. have defi- nite purposes in mind when he goes to college and it is helpful if he is permitted to choose courses which sill “assist him in attaining them. He should have capable direction, however, in mak- ing his selections. A student should not have his liberty in selecting view of recent years respecting the choice of courses and many of them have very ‘flexible routes to the coveted diploma. The old: arbitrary — rules of there it is and pursue it or no diploma, have | largely gone out. Whether for good or ill in education is uncertain, yet in a day of specialization it seems the better course. Big Salaries for Big Men. N PURSUANCE of the radical policy of stimu- lating hatred of competence in order that the | great public enterprises may have to be taken over by the government, the senate recently direct- ed the Interstate Commerce Commission to ascer- tain and report what railroad officials received salaries of $75,000 or more during the current year. The report has been made and it appears that there are eight railroad officials who are paid that amount or more. Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the board of the Southern Pacific, heads the list with $100,000, of which he will pay to the government about one half as income tax. While it is the business of the afford to pay their financial manager, it will do no harm to speculate on the subject. If the own: ers of any great business could find a man so very competent and experienced as to be able by wise management, to increase the gross income by one per cent a year, without increase of outgo, they would obviously make money by giving him half of | such increase. It is possible that the owners of the Pacific system think Julius Kruttschnitt that kind of a man. But if he recetved one-half of one per cent of the gross income of the Southern Pacific system for the current year his salary would be around $900,000, or if he got a quarter of one per cent it would be $450,000. His measly $100,- 000, of which he will be permitted to keep half, does not sound very big. Men of the calibre of the heads of our greatest railroad systems are very scarce. Anyone who can get into the class can get the salary. The fact is that the total paid for financial and executive management by any rail- road is an insignificant percentage of income. nc | Ain’t Folks Funny? U bea only way you can get some people to do what you want them to. do is to’ tell them you do not want them to do it. Such is the pervers- ness of some members of the great human family. It is one of the regular demonstrations in daily life. Tell a boy he must not smoke and before you turn yeur back he is smoking. Tell a man he must not drink and before you get around the corner, from some mysterious source he has obtained hooch and has it on his hip. When the people of the United States said thou shalt not drink, men and women who never drank before immediately went at it. Tell your daughter she must not keep company with a certain young man and at once no other young man in the world will do for her. She young man. Lots of folks have an uncontrollable curiosity about the things they are advised not to do, oth- ers have but little confidence in the adviser, and all the rest want to see the folly of doing what they should not go, So it happens that a great deal of the advice in this world is wasted on the recipients. It is as well to keep it until it is begged from you, and even then although it be wise and sound, you never can tell whether it will be acted upon. Ti you are thoroughly acquainted with your subject you can sometimes get him to do by in- direction what you cannot get him to do by direct means. Even then there is a respectable percen tage of failure. While nature is grand, human nature is pe- culiar. per ee eatin ee The Cry for Coat. y IS IT that coal is so hard to get when there | is so much of it above the ground? The | householder is haying the time of his life in many sections of the country this winter to get suffi- cient fuel to keep from freezing. Never before, even during the trying days of the world war, was fuel so hard to get. Persons are begging that enough be given them to keep warm. Coal dealers, on the other hand, claim that they are doing every- thing possible to remedy the existing situation. It has even come to the point that in many cities the fuel is being rationed out. Some say that the miners are to blame, while others contend that it is the operator. Still others say that the railroads are responsible. The coal miners after the strike last summer went back | into the mines and before many weeks thousands of tons of coal were on the surface. Operators made suitable wage adjustments with the miners and likewise made every effort to secure a large num- ber of cars for transportation.

Squeaky Shoes. The only way to be certain that you will not some day find yourself. walking thrugh some still and echo- ing, church or hall in a pair of squeaky shoes is never to go any- where except in a pair of rubber boots. There is no sure way to cure ®& pair of shoes of squeaking except one—by giving them away to the man who tends the furnace. A shoemaker can take a pa'r of squeakin= =‘.0es apart and put them together again until he is blue in the face, but if that squeak isn’t ready to go it won't go, But you can give those shoes to the furnace man and he can sit down and put them on and rise and walk away and make no more noise than if he were waliing In his soc! Sometimes squeaky shoes are cured by other means than furnace men, but not often, and the process n that case is pretty wearing on the nerves, A man once bought a pair of $15 shoes. He sald he would try high- priced shoes for once in his life and See if they would last long enough to be worth it.. He put them on one Sunday morning and went to church and he was a little late and was forced to walk to his seat through the comparative quiet of the minis- ter's opening exhortation. And right \t that point those shoes began to et out noises that were worse than . guinea hen going somewhere !n a hurry, and the minister might as well lave been talking on his hancs for all the congregation could hear of vhat he had to say. Next day that man returned his shoes to the place he bought them nd told the shopkeeper what he thought about them, which was in- eresting. The shopkeeper sent them to the factory and had them fixed. Next Sunday the man again wore them to church, and again they were Manslaughter, a National An eminent British police author ity suggests that one reason there is less violent crime in England than there !s here, is that there is abroad stricter regu‘ation of the possession and use of fire arms. ‘The federal constitution provides for the preservation of the right of THE TROUBLE 23 we all know, were in a bad condition after their strike and their-rolling stock was greatly in need of repairs.
