All 140,000,000 population has only half as many telephones as the city of Minneapolis. Our national total of 18,000,000 telephones is more than there are in all other countries combined. Each day 72,000,000 telephone calls are completed in the United States. • The tremendous effect of this instant intercommunication can be easily seen. In imagination look back fifty years; it seems impossible that busi ness could exist and flourish with the cotamunication disadvantages the pioneer had to meet. The telephone During the first ton months of 1927, 20 per cent of all railroad financing was accomplished through the sale of stock, the highest ratio in a number of years. This wide dissemination and in creased sale of railroad securities shows the confidence of the public tn the industry. Also, it shows trust in the character and efficiency of the management», and recognises their achievements in overcoming many of their problems since the war. Railroad development, instead of being over, is steadily moving for ward. A wider and greater sale of stock is a good sign and shows an in crease in the public interest in the problems the lines are meeting. This is a good sign and points to normal growth of transportation facilities. Dangerous taxation, that gives more of the,.railroad’s receipts to the tax collector than to the stockholders, y an enemy of progress.

There is no better way by which we can help other nations to elevate their living standards thaM by protecting ourselves against products made un der such conditions in competition with our own. Whether, therefore, the question , is viewed from the standpoint of selfishness er philan thropy, the protective tariff Mis more than sufficient argument in its favor to support it** norance are bad enough, and the pub lic should be more than glad to learn how to prevent them. But how much more serious and..terrible is the fire caused purposely by the arsonist. Arson is one of the worst crimes and should be considered as such. The arsonist imperils life, property and prosperity of communities. Last year he destroyed at least >186,894,- &40 in property value, not to men tion the lives he snuffed out. The public should give every aid to apprehending this destroyer. Judge and state’s counsel should deal with him rigorously, to the full extent of the law.
