A local professional man objects to planes flying; low over La Grande's residential and business districts, pointing: out the dangers of a crash following an engine stall. Legisla tion to protect life and property from just such emergencies is1 being enacted in many cities. An aviation ordinance here would be most timely. .One can imagine how much co-operation the new Senator Grundy will be able to secure from colleagues of the "back ward states" when he has a pet project to work on.. After expressing his views of western states and their importance, as a lobbyist, Mr. Grundy will be wise to restrict his asso ciation to those of his own kind. . .. Those aging adults who can remember the penny arcades of the "good old days" and the first traveling motion picture shows can be excused for marveling at our present mechanical age if they attend the present show .at the Arcade. The jerky, erude movies of twenty and twenty-five years ago were marvelous then. Now We' see an extravagant" theatrical production, with all the color, hear the music and voices in perfect repio'd'uctiorl,4 find soon take it very much as a matter of course. The "Gold Diggers of Broadway," poorly named, is a beautiful production. Marvelous improvement in the use of color film and in color register has been effected in the last few months. And it is good entertainment,' too, both in comedy and music. All in all, we can safely say for the benefit of those who indulge in musical shows that it is at least fifty times better than the road version of Rio Rita that is being inflicted on the Northwest. And, speaking of good shows and good comedy, the Will Rogers feature, "They Had To -See Paris," coming the first of the week, should be seen by crowded houses. It is a riot of good fun and Rogcr ish philosophy. And thus endeth the free advertising for the movie industry. Goodness knows there are so many rotten and boresome shows that two productions as good as these deserve a little special mention. lug law "wo find Mint authority! haa been vested in us to authorize I or require the construction prayed a for."

Corey will prepare a state ment later In the day. ; ORDERING A NKW RAIL LINE ; . Tho Interstate Commerce Commission says that Oregon ; heeds a cross-state line and oidera the Union Pacific to build : 180 milois of railroad and to spend nine million dollars to pro vide it. Needless to say, the U. P. is not enthusiastic about the project. They have opixiscd it strenuously and will carry the commission's decision into the courts. Even if they lose finally, it will probably lie two or three yours before the issue is settled and a few more before the road is constructed. Eventually, tho country to bo opened up will lencfit, and therefore the whole state will progess. Now these seems to be no great traffic volume or public needs to be relieved by tho new line. The decision will, however, serve two distinct purposes. It will eliminate the Snake Kivcr line from serious consideration for a good many years, and it will definitely decide whether or not the interstate commerce commission really has the authority to force railroad construction against the will of the carrier. That has never been done before and one is inclined to question tho wisdom of such a law, if that is the correct interpretation. If upheld, it means that govern ing agencies have a stronger hold on business. In spite of the possible returns from the investment, it means that the government can tell a big corporation to spend iU money in certain specific ways to provide certain specific public, bene fits. Wisely, administered, the stockholders of the coropra tion would receive fair consideration of their investment as well as their obligation as public seivuits, l'.ut it is conceiv able that a prejudiced commission might easily jeopardize a stockholder's interest and thus remove the advantages Jf thrifty operation and consistent enloifuist from private business. Of course there are many who will nrgue that a rauroan, iy me very nature or its business, is not private; that public interest demands its control and direction bv governing agencies. Perhaps true, but then there are num erous other business activities in line for similar direction for the same reason. And one thing is deserving constant attention, regardless of each individual's opinion: Hail transportation is vital to American' life and prosperity. It would be unfortunate if we endangered the benefits of that transportation by expecting and exacting too nVueh from companies providing it. OMAHA. Xebr..
