THE REAL ISSUE INVOLVED With the defeat of a national program for government ownership of railroads and for state ownership and development of power in Washington and California, our socialistic friends are casting about for other means of enlarging state functions and the creation of new offices. The most aggressive step in this direction was seen in Oregon, where the last election a constitutional amendment was proposed to make workingmen's compensation law monopolistic state commission which would prohibit all competition for private insurance companies with present state fund. The people feated the measure two to one. The latest popular appeal that being made to legislatures and voters is the establishment of a compulsive automobile insurance which has arguments in its favor as a means to protect the public. Tacked on the proposition, however, is theger in the woodpile which would establish a fund to put the state's automobile liability insurance to exclusion of private companies. In other words, Old Lady Scully is being presented to the public in new dress. As the people probably know less about insurance than do about railroads and public service companies, the agitators for this experiment hope to make heads with their plans before the people fully understand their proposition. It is altogether probable that pulsory insurance will eventually adopted just as has workmen's pensation been adopted in practice all states. This will not be the issue for people to consider, however, they the R. O. T. C. units. In 19 colleges of the corps area 10,873 of the 14,625 eligible students are receiving military training. In 18 high schools, here 19,380 students are eligible, 8,000 are members of the military units. In 7 other schools where the total attendance of male students is 1543, 1210 are receiving military instruction. In senior divisions at the colleges, the enrollments in the basic course for the 1924-25 school year show an increase of 16 per cent for first year students, 11.33 for second year students, and an average increase in all units of 14.28 per cent. over the school year of 1923-24. In the advance courses, which are optional, the increase for the first year students is 75.37 per cent over that of 1923 and is 83.75 per cent more than that of last year. For the second year students the increase over last year's enrollments amounted to 38.01 per cent. In the Junior divisions, comprising high schools and other schools, the average increase in enrollments is 12.6 per cent. "The increase in the R. O. T. C. enrollments at college and schools in the Pacific coast states demonstrates that parents and the students themselves are beginning to see the value of military training in all its phases, including the value to the nation and the value to the individual citizen," said Major General Charles G. Morton, commanding the Ninth Corps Area, today. "The progress of the Reserve Officer Training Corps unit was for a time amped by the attitude of individuals opposed to military training of any character, due in almost every instance to lack of correct information through proper representation of actual ends in view, this opposition." know less about insurance than do about railroads and public service companies, the agitators for this experiment hope to make headway with their plans before the people fully understand their proposition. It is altogether probable that pulsory insurance will eventually adopted just as has workmen's pensation been adopted in practice all states. This will not be the issue for people to consider, however. The issue will be "competition" between companies in the automobile industry field vs. state monopoly of this kind of business." Let the state pass its laws ensuring proper safeguards for life property, then let private insurers enter under and in compliance with these laws. The government has provided food act to protect the public. It is not necessary for the government start canneries, meat packers and all the other manufacturing operations necessary to give pork food in compliance with the law. This was simply necessary for the government to enforce its mandate. The same applies to insurance. The government can specify what it does best in the public interest on the matter and then see that its mandates are carried out both by the individual and companies furnishing services under the law. This is the real issue of the public to consider. LOAD AND HOLD BOATS With its elevators full and all tonnage out of Montreal fully loaded up to the close of navigation, the Marketing Co. is now exerting its it was announced today, to have a fleet of vessels full of grain at Lake Erie ports before navigation closes. Vessels are being engaged daily and filled with grain to hold at Tulelo Erie Pa., Buffalo and Fairport, Ohio. It is planned to have fully thirty million bushels of grain thus held in storage on board boats when navigating closes. The object is to get advantage of the cheap lake freight rates for every possible bushel. The wheat being stored in the vessels at Lake Erie ports can be moved by rail to ocean ports during the winter, or can be held until the St. Lawrence route opens in the spring. "This extraordinary use of boats for It is planned to have fully thirty million bushels of grain thus held in storage on board boats when navigating closes. The object is to get advantage of the cheap lake freight rates for every possible bushel. The wheat being stored in the vessels at Lake Erie ports can be moved by rail to ocean ports during the winter, or can be held until the St. Lawrence route opens in the spring. "This extraordinary use of boats for storage is an essential part of the program the Grain Marketing Company has followed throughout this crop year," says an officer of the Company, "namely, of forwarding export wheat from western terminals with the utmost possible speed and volume. In this way it contributes influentially to the maintenance of prices by leaving room for the receipt of shipments at secondary markets during the winter. This utilization of vessels for storage purposes is only one item of the consistent policy of the Grain Marketing Company of utilizing every factor of the merchandising, transportation and storage of grain for the strengthening of the market position. Generally speaking only a co-operative company, primarily interested in serving grain producers, would so steadily exert itself to that end. Certainly no such effort with the motive of benefiting grain producers has ever been put forth before." MILITARY TRAINING POPULAR Popularity of military training in colleges and schools of the Ninth Corps Area is attested by the extraordinary increase in enrollments in Reserve Officers' Training Corps units at the various institutions. Despite the fact that in many schools military training is optional, more than 75 per cent of the students eligible to take the military training are enrolled in Conrad Nagel has another of his usually pleasing roles as an ambitious artist, and Phyllis Haver has a part somewhat resembling that of Mr. Gilbert's in being an unscrupulous, scheming person in love with another's mate. Hedda Hopper has an important role. The supporting cast includes such well-known performers as Margaret Teddon, Alleen Manning, Jack Curtis, Hazel Kennedy, Charles Puffy, Gordon Sackville, Nellie Bly Baker, Roy Laidlaw, Mabel Coleman, Blanche Payson and others. "The Snob" was adapted and directed by Monta Bell from the Helen R. Martin novel of the same name, as his first production under his new contract with the Metro-Goldwyn company. It is presented by Louis B. Mayer. DINNER BUCKETS—TAX EXEMPTS Congress should pass the constitutional amendment to stop the issuance of tax-exempt bonds, and get it before the state legislatures for early adoption. These bonds have a tendency to increase public expenditure, by making money too easy to borrow. But their great harm is in establishing a higher rate of interest for money needed in all lines of business and farming. For theman with a big income, the tax-free bond is worth two or even three times as much as taxed industrials. Therefore, he puts his money into untaxed public securities, and his return on these as compared with return on industrials fairly establishes the value of all investment. But for the courage of the small investor who puts his money into operating industries, and then pays all the tax bills to boot, productive enterprise would be severely crippled because of the withdrawal of big money from business.
