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 .

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. ,

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." , ,

Still 8ome Hope
Do the schools through Englifth
Utorat'uro, train writers, approcln
tort" or haters of good hooka? In
my day thoy annihilated every de
sire to continue reading good lit
erature after school UayB Wore
finished. 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. As "Cirl of
Slxtoen" practically said, "JtiHt
aB one .person replied Who went
to see the woods enme back Bay
ing, '1 can't see tlio woods on ac
count of tho trees.' So I am los
ing all Uie tine things In my lit
erature cqui'bos because of drill,
drill, drill."
The following letter was sent
mo by a colloiro professor to en
courage tliii- girl to still have hopes
of being a wilier: ,
"Dear Girl of Slxfeeu: ' 1
"I think you should know that
somo of us who are in n position

which is lust exactly as you des
cribed In your letter, But it lakes
a long time, wo have to Bhow
results which will prove to au
thorities that Ihore are other ways
of developing powor.ln lungnugo,
and love of beauty, that drills on
'punctuation and analysntion.'
Moanwhile, we havo to Invent ways
to niako these proofs' nnd show
tho results. It takes tlmo. When
wo are done It will bp too late to
help you, so here's a bit of en
courngomcnl mid boiuo points:
"Those methods you montion nre

OUR CONVERSATION CORNER
A Recommendation Indeed
As a Study Circle loader I have
recommended "Your Boy and Your
fliri" urticleH many times. In par
ental education you are render:
lng a very real service for you
uro assisting those who have im
mediate problems' and you are help
ing to bring about a mutual under
standing between parent and chil
dren the very first essential In a
fine family fellowship.
Chairman of National Parent
TeachorB Association Study Circle.
In a fow. words our National
Chairman has Blzed up the idea be
hind my eervice. She knows (but
do you?) that my main work Is
not this daily -message business,
for behind this column there fs a
real, very real, Service Bureau,
paid for by this newspaper, which
does' Its best to answer any and
every problem which comeB up in
the' llfo of a mother dealing with
her child, ot a father dealing with
his son, and of young folks who
have to deal themselves with the
problems of life. This Is why the
column constantly refers to in
struction sheotB or lenflets which
are Bent to anyone who asks for
them and encloses the usual cour
tesy ot a stumped return envelope.
I receive hundreds ot letters
from people, who want to buy my
whole Bot, consisting of one hun
dred and fifty leaflets. Thoy are
not for sale in a Job lot. They are
free when asked for singly or in
couples. An extra two-cent stnmp
will bring you ii quartette.
Just what problems faces you,
father, or mother, or boy, or girl?
Please write It out, and do not use
n lot of words' because It lakes a
long tlmo to read a long winded
letter. Send It to mo hnd Just see
if ono of my instruction sheets
isn't Johnny-on-tho spot. ,
Yes, There Aro
Is there any such thing as Just
friendship between a nuiu and n
woman any more? It soeins to mo
one ought to be able to have a man
Us a frloml without having to pet.
So far I havo not been nhlo to find
one.

Answer When a man hau no
background of literature or music,
or real inlorost in the business he
Is following, or lovo tor books, na
ture, or dogs, or appreciation of
fine relationships betwoon men and
women, ho naturally Blurts out
with Iho tixod Idea that overy girl
Is as shallow as ho is.

Is a very strong force, llut when
it expresses itself only through
petting It becomes, to say tho least,
exceedingly tiresome to a young
woman of your type. .
