—_— A pamphlet that has just come to The Star reading desk from Paul Shoup, vice president of ‘the Southern Pacific Co., denies with great ve- yhemence that the railroads are passing, as some ‘thinkers on transportation have declared. » Mr. Shoup’s contention is vigorously worded > and his remarks on the competition furnished by » motor vehicles is not the least bit kindly. He would put bus lines out of business entirely in ‘some cases and saddle them, in others, with a vastly greater tax burden than they now carry. In short, Mr. Shoup would save the railroads » from passing by running the transportation clock backward, not forward. Nothing could be plainer to The Star than the > certainty that gasoline automotive Sonate: © tion is in its infancy, and that the railroads are on the defensive. They must be pre- to meet the new competition by new meth- / ods of their own. 8 Here's hoping Grace Abbett, new chief of children's dureav, will prove a good safety raiser for little And yet, for the mos t part, their managers are not thinking of new methods.

The unfortunates in this institytion must be protected, We, the taxpayers of this state, are paying the superintendent $300 « month to see to it that the patients are treated right. And we send our dear ones there to be “cured.” But according to euffictent test! mony the head of that institution is NOT attending to his business. By the way, I understand that Dr, Keller is engaged in private practice in Tacoma, while he is drawing $300 the super. intendent of the Western Btate hos pital! I don't believe that he knowa what goes on inside the wards; he leaves it all to subordinates. But it is his BUSINESS to KNOW! And the doctors are not attend ing to THEIR business, If they did the brutal attendants could not and would NOT DARE to mistreat the patients aa Mrs, De Montes and Mrs, Brown have described, And we are paying out good money to this army of doctors and attendants, only to have our rely tives and friends kicked and mauled and felt on leftovers from the table of the “higher-ups," while those higher-ups, the doctora™and the at- tendants, have the best of every. thing, cream, butter, fruits, which the patients seldom, if e get. Lat the doctors (Dr. Keller includ. ed) live on the scraps from the pa- tients’ table for a while and see how they like it. But denounctng the conditions without offering a better plan does not improve those conditions, Therefore | would suggest that the citizens demand that Dr. Keller ro sign, and then appoint a humane, conscientious person, preferably a woman, to look after the state's holp- lens wards.

It would not need to con- flict in the least with thru steam and electric train schedules and could replace a lot of ex- pensive, cumbersome, antiquated local train service now maintained. People ride in motor buses because the buses are convenient and speedy. They would prefer to ride on railroad cars that were equally or more comfortable, equally speedy, equally con- venient and SAFER. Many would leave their private machines in the garage far oftener than they do now if such service were available.

If they are not going to pass into the limbo of museum relics, as Mr. Shoup argues, it will be because some manager with courage and insight and in- genuity takes wp this problem of getting back their lost local business thru modern methods.
