SERVrCE, NOT RATES, FIRST CONSIDERATION.'' "Service and not rates is the important consideration ; in any discussion of the transportation problem not so much what the transportation costs, its what is the quality 'of service to be rendered," said Philip H. Gadsden, president of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, in an address be fore the Traffic Club of Philadelphia. "For the last few years we have become so accustomed to the increased efficiency of our railroad service that We have begun to take first-class service for granted. The fun damental difference between railroads, street railways, gas, electric and telephone companies, and any other class of bus ' iness,.is that in unregulated business you are purchasing or dealing in a definite commodity or article of merchandise; whereas in the field of regulated business, such as railroads and public utilities, you are Seeking service for 'pfesent and future heeds. Service, therefore, is the first consideration. v "Poor or inferior service is costly: at any price. The greatly increased efficiency of our railroad service, since the roads were returned to their stockholders after' the World war, is responsible, ih ho small measufe -TOr 'the prosperity which we are now enjoying. The excellent iorvice jftrbads pre rendering has made possible radical reductions in inven tories throughout the business world, and released for pro 'duc'tiye purposes bullions of dollars formerly used for pay ment 6i interest on .'unnecessarily large istocks on 'Hand. ; ' ' !'The: government under which the American ipeople have become the most prosperous kpd ll-Jgi'esSiv'nalioh on earth.- has beph- predicated upon giving the largest possible' freiidom to individual initiative and private enterprise. 'Our belief has been that government should confine its functions to Seeing that every citizen should have fair play arid an open field in the battle of life. The most cursory examina tion of .business will show that the greatest successes jiave been "rehliiied in those fields which have been most free from governmental interference and control. In whatever field of business the deadening hand of government Ownership and control lias been laid, We find the 'rapid Warch of prog ress has been sensibjy .retarded." : y f t. j . US- THE YARDSTICK. "'. ? 1 The Tax Digest, published jhonlhiy 'by 'the 'daliforhia Taxpayers' association, under the direction of Dri Milbank Johnson, outlines ft program, which citizens , of every state have the right to expect their representatives in public of fice, from justice of the peace to United States senator,' will carry .out. ' Here it is: v i .; ? ; u V'1; ; ' '' : , . ' ; . , . That every legijilator Will 'use thb yardstick of .'economy and efficiency in measuring; the value and importance 6f and the necessity for each legislative' proposal. ' ; . That legislators will consistently apply this ; measure ment to bills introduced. ! ' ' y. ; '''' ' ' . That legislators will carefully, study all bills referred to their several committees, remcitiberilig the treat responsi bility Of recommending measures to their conferees on the lull purpose of which they are not thoroughly informed. ' 'That they, will vigorously oppose legislation that does not represent a real heed. ' -.' That they will to the best of their ability eliminate all superfluous and overlapping machinery In the administra tion of public business. - . That they will give their full Support to all. measures to place improved business methods in effect in the conduct of government in the state; couhty and municipality. That they will view no measure solely from the stand point of local or sectional interest, but rather as it may af iect the state as a whole. , ; That every legislator will not only welcome but Will seek iulorniation on all subjects under discussion from those Who are prepared to supply it, and Who arc sincerely interested in the Welfare of the state. That each legislator will consider himself a trustee for the taxpayers, and the public funds as trust funds, and on su ve these funds in the interest of the taxpayer. That each legislator will consider himself a spokesman and public defender of the taxpayers who have entrusted their affairs to his keeping. Although additional sources of revenue are not develop ing as rapidly as desired, Hoscburg may at least feel thank ful in these days of sweeping commercial changes and inter city competition for what good fortune decrees she may re tain. A few weeks ago the United States land office in this city survived the official federal axe that ended the career of three other offices in the state. And now comes the au thoritative announcement that the order discontinuing the Southern Pacific passenger terminal in this city has been ltscinded. lieing able to hold what we have is gratifying, or course, but it does not represent a step forward. .More pay rolls and permanent settlers are sitll the paramount needs of the community and efforts lo secure them must never be al lowed to lag. Constant industrial expansion, even if only by slow degrees, is "the best .preventive of worry over probable changes and the safest insurance against the effects of tran sitory business lulls. , 0 ' ''..-'' This is "Homo Products Week" in this city. The cam paign is being placed before our people for the purpose of encouraging the buying and consumption of home products. It's a mighty fine idea and one that should be practiced every day in the year. Substantial arid progressive commun ities ure always the result of loyalty to your home producer. The average motion picture theatre becomes so out of date that it needs to be rebuilt in 33 years' time, says the federal board of tax appeals. This may be true. : Even So, however, the theaters outlive the average films that are shown in them by about 32 1-2 years. Think over all of the moving pictures you can remember having seen. HoW many of them would you like to see over . again? Probably not more than a dozen, if that many. There is nothing much less important than the average movie,. . , ; b ; " ('.;': There's much better spirit prevalent in this city today than a few days ago both among railroad employees arid the public generally, "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good." , , . -o - . , Well, let's step on her now and get busy and "horn in" on some new enterprises for this county. LOoks like the weather man will "dish up" some nice weather for Easter Sunday. , , i Your Boy and Your Girl Y ARTHUR DEAN, 8C. D.

Tell one of its that such and such was a fine piece of lit erature and. we replied, "Nothing doing.". But let a class niato say "This fe it corking hook" and wo responded, "Let's see it.". Have things changed? In taiatiy schools 1 know they nave. In many they have not.
