Editorials From
Over the Nation
. Why Not?
Coast cities have begun to put up a brisk howl relative to recent
rate decisions, which are intended to give interior cities what they
have always been entitled to and never before have received.
Why should not the railroads give a better rate on freight from
the east to La Grande, Daker, Spokane and other cities located sev
eral hundred miles inland than they do to Portland and Seattle,
when the railroads are foreed to haul the loaded care several hun
dred miles farther?
We have heard in the past a lot 4tbout "water competition" but
we have a fair example of what water competition really is in the
Celilo Canal. It was built to compete with railroads and today
not a boat goes through the costly canal. Water competition is
a good deal of a theory, and apparently the railroads have so recog
nized it, for they are giving little objection to the ruling of the In
terstate Commerce commission on the new inland rules.
There is no justifiable reason in trying to build enormous cities
on the coast at the expense of the inland country. Why should
such a tljing be encouraged and fostered? Would this not be a
happier nation if the larger cities ceased to grow for a while and
more cities in the interior country gained a greater size? . j
That the nation is undergoing a big change in the rate question
there is little doubt; that the natural economic law which provides
pay for actual hauling done is gaining ground is apparent. And
out of the entire shake-up the western country and middle states
section are going to benefit in a just and proper proportion.
A Lump of Sugar
The lump of sugar it may be two or three that goes into
your coffee each morning represents an industry of stupendous
magnitude. One side of it, the tropical agricultural branch, is de
scribed by the American Sugar Uefining Company in its current
report. The statement deals with its own production of raw sugar,
the growing of cane and the first step of manufacture! It says
llv.it by multiplying its figures by forty one may get a fair id a

. ' On two Cuban sugar plantations of the company, which a!,!
to Watvest cane fill' 1,100,00 bugs of raw sugar of f!2! pounds v.c!),
12,000 men work in the fields for 150 days. Nine thousand ate
cane cutters, while 3,000 do hauling, weighing and general duties.
To haul the cane to the railroad 1.I500 ox-carts and 12,00.0 trained
oxen me necessary. Thirteen hundred more men operate the fac
tories, railroads, etc. The 1,'I50,000 tons of fane harvested reduces
to 150,000 tons of raw sugar. Kailroad service on a large scale
.and a fleet of ships are employed to get the sugar to refineries in
this country. And up to this point but a beginning hi's en made
of producing Hie sweetening for America's breakfast coffee.
Sugar, being indispensable, and being used in emu iiviih quan

discomfort.
Speed Yields to Safety
A leading i dentist has recently sounded a wi'iin;v against
what he culls the modern mania for speed. Every clay one reads
of some fresh i'l'lrcveii.t nl in rapidity of transportation. Hu
manity, always more and more in a hurry, urges lh makers .if
airplanes ami :n 1.im : 1 n !.-n Id produce the utmost in pp-wl, icgavil-
ios.s 111 saieiy. llie lirst milkuoii asked by uilciuh'.i. buyer.! is
"How fast can it g.V
There is a strikingly :.ij'i: ic:nit exception to LI i .4 tleniai.d fur
excessive spec:!, which the iJ'einst has overlooked, and it reli.te
to a most important department of transportation: the railroads.
It is n it only true that trail!'; -irv rot being run any iV.-w.'r because
of the competition of rc.!tu.io:.-;es and airplanes. Lot h'- tendency
seems t'i he toward a flat. ;:-i iig 1 speed. 1'orsoni-' ti i two groat
railroads maintained n -Y.wn l.i.ur expresses betw."!ii New Y -rl.
and Chiragti. Several years .igr. the time was extolled to twenty
hours. Away back in 18!Ki, the year of the'Chicago world's fair,
n speed of 112 miles mi hour was attained by the Kmpire Stale
Kxpi-ess of the New York Central. It has remained the record ev
er since.
Instead of planning to increase speed, American railitiatls have
bom studying safety. Tinvel by rail is steadily becoming safer.
The latest locomotives are built with their center of gravity so
.tiw as to reduce the risk of upsetting. Steel cars eliminate the
danger of fire and telescoping. Kails are heavier. Automatic
signals and other devices afford addition protection. The travel
ing public sets safety and regularity abive speed. The railroad
managements and their patrons both show their sense. "The more
haste the less speed" is an adage that still has its place in mod
ern civilization.

Detroit News: 'Wht'n in a name?
The British irovernnient is just find
ini; out. There Vas an oM aire pen
sion act. ile.iiirneii to itfforii a amall
dole to the ageine; worker no longer
able to work and without resources.
Hv Home superlative piece of ineptl
lude the Honnr law ministry has
styled this measure poor law relief,
lietweo pensions and pauper there
is. it seems, a wide distinction and
a diffeM-'nce.
Labor has cauirht up the phrase
from one end of Britain to the other
anil manv is the bitter irosuel bcinir
preached to political meetings with
"Pauper" as the text. Home go so
far as to proclaim accessions to the
ranks of pauperism from royalty it
self Princes, they suggest, who
have to receive subsistence from the
neonlc's treasury are. in cifect. pau
pcrs Retired cabinet ministers who
receive pensions for their former
services are, by the same token, pau
ners.
It is an ugly word and a word held
in hatred by "every man or woman
who works for a living. Probably
nothing presses so sorely on the
minds of those who live narrowly as
tho nightmare of a dependent old
age, wtth its denial of will power,
its rnfusel of personal preferences.
its utter abandonment to the rules
of those who furnish the bread. Na
tuio gives the water. '
It is a subject with which civiliza
tion more and more concerns itself,
this elimination of the pauper. Some
folk there' are who never enn be
anything else, but the great majority
lell that given a tan chance during
their working life they call save
enough to keep themselves In the
twilight years. Society's part, says
one group, is to care for all who,
after a fruittul Inc. tire unable to
care for themselves. Society owes'it
to its workers that their declining
yeai'3 be at least comlortable. So-
cley, says 'another group,' must pay
the workers enough so that they
may, in support of their own inde
pendence, save against tho empty
year. of ago.
It is sufficient that the theorists
are unanimous on the gout, even if
they differ on the means of attain
ing it. The age that is able to abol
ish the word "pauper" will be far
advanced on the road to permanent
peace. Contented men do not fight.
