ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER FUBLICATION miles of automatic telegraph-typewriter -circuits set forth in a bulletin entitled “The Federal Air- ways System,” which has just been published by the Aeronautics Branch. The Federal Government, through the Depart- ment of Commerce, has spent approximately $8,- 500,000 in constructing airways throughout the coun- try to enhance safety and reliability of air trans- portation of all types in the past four years, ac- cording to the bulletin. This represents capital in- ment as distinguished from maintenance costs aintenance costs now total some $5,000,000 annual- ly. When completed the Federal airways system will include about 25,000 miles of lighted airways. | The bulletin says: Ten years ago if an airplane pilot took off from a field at New York at 6 o'clock in the evening in a standard service type airplane with Chicago as his destination, it would have been regarded as remarkable if he negotiated the overnight journey with success. Now such flights are of a routine nature, for every night in the week planes are winging their way over the various sections of the Nation in the scheduled transpor- tation of pasengers, mail and express. This is in some measure an answer to critics of the nation’s aviation policy. While it is not sub- sidizing airplane factories and air transport com- panies, it is providing facilities to increase the ‘.\uxcty and dependability of aircraft. The estab- lishment of well-lighted airways has been a big | { DIVORCE BUSINESS COMPETITION. 1 i Three States—Arkansas, Idaho and Nevada—are seriously contending for the divorce business of the| y Nevada has for years been famous, or| as the viewpoint may be, for the Reno mill” To that city, since the establish- the State’s 90-day residence requirement ree, thousands have come to take advantage ypportunity thus offered for quick and easy nee of marital ties. In the United States, at Nevada has had a monopoly in the “quick di- voree,” business. Maybe current depression had something to do with their actions, or it may have been that they would have done it without hard times, whatever reason, Arkansas and Idaho recently passed 90-day divorce laws, giving them an even break on time limit with Nevada. Hot Springs, which lures many for the winter months, and Boise, must naturally have expected to share in the returns heretofore accruing alone to Nevada. { But they seem to have reckoned without con-| lea ihe the that State to stand idly by and see its own monopoly smashed to bit by interlopers? Not if Reno knew its divorcees, and it apparently did. For now comes the Nevada Legislature with a measure to cut the| residence requirements to 42 days, less than one-| half of its former period which has just been | adopted by Arkansas and Idaho. The Nevada House | of Representatives passed the six-weeks bill by a unanimous vote, showing how it appreciated the; danger threatening the good name of the State. | And the Senate is expected to be just as alive; to the situation and probably will meet it bravely.! Probably this lively competition will do little to| increase the nation’s divorce rate. Divorce is not ordinarily caused by statutes permitting it. They, of course, merely make legal the action. The cause generally rests upon lack of realization of the seriousness of marriage and of the importance of the family in the composition of society: Curbing divorce laws will not remedy it any more than liberalizing them will. To mitigate the divorce evil, family life must be raised to a higher plane and there will have to be a more general realization and acceptance of the seriousness of marriage. In the meantime, we shall continue to have our Ne- vadas, Arkansas and Idahos with their competition until we can agree upon uniform divorce laws that will recognize that divorce is the only reasonable means of settling conjugal differences which make it impossible for men and women to sustain their relationships as husbands and wives. YOUNG BOOM IS GROWING. Despite his declaration that he is not a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1932, Owen D. Young continues to be prominently men- tioned for that distinction. Powerful Democratic leaders of the East, recognizing Mr. Young's great ability, are seriously considering his chances for election should he be picked as the party's standard bearer. Were he nominated for and elected to the Presidency, a new precedent would be set. He would be the first man ever to be the nation’s Chief Executive from private life without having previously held any political office, elective or ap- pointive. The fact that he is even being mentioned candidate indicates something of the change in political ideas in the past two decades. Before the present generation, to have suggested that as .a anvons who had not served a long and arduous politica’ apprenticeship, except in instances where the candidacy was the reward for military valor, could be elected President, would have been the signal for ridicule from political leaders and party slate-makers. Today Mr. Young, totally lacking any political training and experience, is conspicuously prominent as more than a possible contender. There is as much talk of him as of any other individual, and more than any except possibly Gov. Roosevelt and Gov. Ritchie. Democratic leaders realize if they . nominate him, they will have to draft him. He wont seek the nomination, and if he gets it, it will be on his own terms. His business and executive ability, internationally outstanding, his statesman- ship acknowledged by the world, appeal very strong- ly to the party as a whole, and his opposition to the National Prohibition farce counts strongly in his favor among all classes in the great industrial States which the Democrats must carry in 1932 to be certain of victory. ' GOVERNMENT LIGHTS AIRWAYS. An account of the establishment by the Aero- nautics Branch of the Department of Commerce of 15,000 miles of alrways lighted and equipped with intermediate landing fields and other aids to air navigation and the plans for extending this system to include by July 1, 1931, approximately 17,500 miles of Federally lighted airways and 8,000 factor in the operation of planes, particularly on |a transcontinental scale. We would like to suggest to that committee in Washington when it concludes its reindeer hearings, it make a trip to Seward Peninsula and learn a little something about reindeer. Philosophic Mr. Moses. (New York Times.) In the March Atlantic Monthly Senator Moses has a piece on “Sense for Republicans.” He is not perturbed by the flurries and confusion of politics. The weakening of party names and ties he attri- butes to the Seventeenth Amendment and the direct primary. They have done well by him. To political parties and political authority they have done ill. Now deemed by many a hunker of hunkers, he recalls not without pride that he was some sort of an Insurgent in New Hampshire long ago. He misses the elder La Follette, who “knew how to wait.” Now the reformers are in too great a hurry. Are they “hurrying the Republican party to destruc- tion?” He doesn’t “think so—yet.” His travels have taught him that the Republi- can organization in many States is but a shell, “made up of men who have become dead on their | feet.” soon can we get it? He ‘has no personal animus against these. | How much money can we get and how i Were served with ice cream, coffee, | That is all the Chairman of |cake, fruits and nuts. | Representatives Joseph H.

Was Commonwealths. The men in charge hate new blood | were: | and particularly object to the woman voters. Unless the barnacles are scraped off, “ way next year.” Then these furious primary con- | tests “must be reduced to a minimum.” Mr. Moses furnishes no specific medigines for Republican re juvenation and harmony. However, “we shall nuddle through in some way.” So Mr. Moses worshiping no more the re- Jected gods, Protection and Prosperity, is still a fatalist. He trusts in an amorphous deity of for- tune, Muddleheaded Muddling-Through. And the Lord loveth a cheerful liver: I am not yet swathed in the gloom which enshrouds so many of my party asso- clates. T still think that we elected a President in 1928 to be re-elected in 1932 My mind is sufficlently actuarial to take notice of the doctrine of cycles; because I know full well the habit of history, es- pecially political history, to repeat itself. I was active in politics in 1890 and in 1910. Therefore I do not overlook the political cycle impled in 1930. There is, however, no Cleveland in the Opposition, as there was in 1892; no Roosevelt in our party, as there was in 1912. Here, I suppose, I should offer my apologies to Mr. Young and Governor Pinchot. Senator Moses is good-natured. Perhaps he is indiscreet in referring to his own “biological allusion” to the progeny of the wild free asses of the desert; but, on the whole, here is an amiable, a moderate and a chastened philosophic Moses, who ought to but won't have a softening effect on his Ppoetical friend, Mr. Norris.

At the conference of Governors of seven indus- trial States called by Governor Roosevelt, of New York, to consider unemployment insurance, it was decided that the subject “demands further immed- iate study.” This study will be continued by the Governors, it is indicated, at a similar meeting to be held in the near future. The Governors are wise not to commit them- selves as a group or individually to any set plan of unemployment insurance until a great deal more is known about systems already in use by large industries in this country and .by Governments abroad. In the latter case many of the experi- ments have been disastrous because of their political and paternalistic nature. And while it is perhaps inevitable that initial moves toward unem- ployment insurance should come from governmental officials, there is real peril in the possibility that insurance will become entirely a States function. It is not the business of government to support the people, and citizens who can look beyond the immediate crisis will insist that direct States participation in any scheme of unemployment in- surance should follow an earnest effort on the part of private industry to solve the problem in its own way. With governmental participation in matters of this sort politics always enters, and the repeti- tion of traditional political generosity in some new field of paternalism every sensible American wishes to avold.
