INSURANCE A SAFEGUARD
With the crest of the Mississippi
flood eating it3 way through Louisi
ana to the gulf, already the task of
rehabilitation is tinder way. Hoover
appeals to the North for $2,000,000
in funds for flood sufferers, and the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
makes the following offer to the
president of the United States:
"We offer the government, and
through the government to the citi
zens in the stricken area, the full
services of our engineering staff
which is equipped to give the flooded
communities expert engineering as
sistance to restore the water sup
plies, reorganize fire departments and
fire alarm systems, and advise re
garding the rehabilitation of dwel
lings and mercantile buildings.
"For many years The National
Board of Fire Underwriters has
maintained a corps of engineers to
survey water supplies, fire depart
ments, fire alarms and building condi
otins of these cities, and it is these
men supplemented by the engineering
staffs of other organizations, under
the directum of the fire insurance
companies, members of this board,
who we believe will be of immeasur
able assistance at this time in bring
ing order out of the choas which will
follow the recession of the flood,
"In the event these services are
desired, we shall be pleased to place
ourselves in contact with whomsoev
er you may designate, either in
Washington or elsewhere, and ar
range for entering upon such plans
as may be expedient to render the
best possible service promptly and
effectively."

A "SANTA CLAUS IDEA"
Ever once in a while we come
across an eruptive explosion by some
body on the pros and cons of govern
ment ownership, and here is one of
them: "Government ownership is the
product of loafing minds and loiter
ing ambitions," says Henry Swift
Ives, Vice President of the Casualty
Information Clearing House, Chicago.
"It is the indolent offspring of the
static mind, and its ancestry may be
traced back through a long line of
dawdling political soothsayers. As
a theory it lacks imagination, origin
ality, inspiration and romance. As
Bn actuality it is a stupid, dull, lan
guorous method of carrying on the
work of the world. It is the substi
tution of government deficits for pri
vate profits. It is the dragging brake
on individual enterprise and a stub
born barrier to industrial progress. It
is the Santa Claus idea of govern
ment, heralded by political sleigh-bell
ringers."
A friend editor, elated over the
elustic usefulness of the ranch tele
phone delivers this one: "The tele
phone is a hired man who eats noth
ing, who will not forget his orders,
who will not flirt or elope with the
hired girl, who will net set fire to
the farm with his careless pipe or
cigarette, who will not strike for
higher wages just when the need is
greatest. A farm phone is almost as
necessary as land or house or barn."

Portland has a street car conduct

"Lindy" had no thought of personal
