LEADING THE PROCESSION
The Scurry County Times Sijpial, of Snyder, Texas,
runs an interesting article showing how this enterprising
little city in the Southwest has provided the most modem
and unique airport so far conceived for a town under 100,-
000 population.
Snyder is building an airport sufficiently large to take
eare of air fleets together with a series of modern cabin
inns to handle tourist traffic. More than 9,000 feet of
landing area will be provided with clear approaches in all
directions. The field proper include^facilities for housing,
Seeling and servicing planes. It has air markers that can
be seen for 15 milea.
. Airports are today the most essential thing in develop-
ing air transportation and Snyder is to be congratulated on
its enterprise which sets an example for towns in all parts
of the country.
AN AUTHORITY ON CRIME
Writing in Harper’s Magazine. Jack Black, who served
several long terms for felonies, effectually exploded much
of the hysteria about crime and criminal legislation. He
aays most of the reformers begin at the wrong end. They
advocate more laws, when present laws are adequate and
additional legislation serves only to make the problem more
(^implex and create more criminals. They criticite the police,
When the fault lies in the system that has undermined many
of our police departments.
Graft and corrupt politics have so lowered respect for
public authority that police departments are crippled, and
honest, intelligent men are discouraged from taking up such
work as a vocation.
Mr. Black speaks as an authority. He has been a
criminal and has known thousands of other criminals. He
aaaerts that third degree methods, the American prison
aystem and a burden of laws, tend to increase crime.
There has been too much favoritism in handling crime.
Wo must apprehend the guilty and protect the innocent.
We lussl well-paid, h.gh-class |*>lue officers. Otherwise, we
will remain impotent in our fight against the underworld.
WE ARE ALL -RAILROADERS”
The railroad problem is one that affects every business
and citizen.
For a number of years past the lines have been unable
to earn an adequate return on their property investment.
The Transportation Act specifically states that a fair return
ia 6H per cent. This is certainly a modest rate of interest
for one of the greatest industries of the world.
The fact that the major roads have made consistent
progress is a testimonial to their spirit of service, and the
executive genius of their management. In every department
of operation waste has been outlawed. Service has been
immensely improved, both in speed and quality, accidents
have lieen reduced to a minimum, imisirtant new lines have
been created and costs have gone down.
In the past 25 years the railroads have grown twice as
fast as in the preceding 75 years of their existence. This
was necessary to keep pace with the development of the
nation as a whole. Our whole industrial structure is de-
pendent on an adequate transportation system,
Our railroads have provided us with the greatest trans-
portation system the world has even seen. It should lie
the business of every citizen, from purely selfish reasons
if none other, to encourage their development.

NOTES ON “JOHN D ”
The Altus (Okla.) Timca-Democrat.
A new book, "John l)„ a Portrait In Oil*" by John K.
Winkler i* likely to sell not only because of the fame of it*
subject but because a real dime is cmlicddcd in the packet
picture showing the oil king handing a ton-cent piece to a
caddy. Even if the purchaser must part with $2.25 he
will actually get a dime back, and the book itself, judging
from the quotations therefrom, is in no sense a "white-
wash” but is spiritedly and at times amusingly critical of
perhaps the most remarkable figure in the growth of in-
dustrial America.
Never for an instant, according to the author, did
"Neighbor John" slacken his quest for "special privileges"
but worked night and day to defeat his rivals by any means
whatsoever within his reach. "Surrounded by men ns
predatory ns himself,” we read, “he trampled competitors
as a bull elephant. He continued to demand and secure
hard-lantern railway advantages. He harassed the few in-
dependent producers and refiners who still dared risk
economic extinction by refusal to submit to him. He raised
or lowered prices in various communities at will, cut to kill,
undersold, boosted, boomed, depressed, terrorized. Always
ho operated in the dark.”
From the early days of his absorption in the favorite
American amusement of making money he is quoted as
aaying over and over, ‘Tm bound to be rich”—and he be-
came rich beyond the droamH of avarice. Yet through it
all he was "sincere in his religious convictions," lived frugal-
ly, and finally was moved to hand out to the public vast
sums of money in philanthropy without a parallel.
