COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE
Dl'KKN
(Intended for last week)
GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT
SELL BONDS LIKE STAMPS
The Howell commission find!
the commercial air service now
in a bad way. Being a fact-find-
ing and not a fault-finding body
it does not lay the blame for this
fault anywhere. Indeed, It la not
necessary to do so. Everybody
concerned In the matter knows
that a year ago wc had a splen-
did air service, which we have
not had since the cancellation
orders, except for that of some
companies which have had the
reserve capital, as well as the
enterprise to carry on, against
odds But the commission’s facts
are illuminating. After stating
some of the handicaps under
which the mall service is now
being conducted, at rates ruin-
ously low to many operators, the
commission says: "It appears, in
short, that financial disaster Is
la the making for a large part
of the present air-transport sys-
tem. Whether it makes its ap-
j»earance In six weeks or six
months or longer, we can not
iee how It can be postponed In-
definitely.” tt, therefore, rec-
ommends not only that the pay-
ments made by the government
be at higher rates than now, but
that subsidies be paid to lines
where the volume of mall at the
advanced rates Is not sufficient
to pay a fair return to the opera
tor for the service. It Is estimat-
ed that about half the air mail
routes would require such aid.
at least for some time to come.
From all this it is plainly to
be seen that the arbitrary and
unjust order of a year ago was
destructive to the Interests of
the operators, and to the Inter-
ests of the public In the deterio-
ration of the service. Further-
more, it Is to be seen that the
action was uncalled for Inas-
much as if the service Is to be
restored it will have to be by the
restoration of adequate rates
and the direct payment of sub-
sidies that as a whole will cer-
tainly not be any less than the
total payments made under the
system so summarily abolished.
Incidentally, It is of Interest In
this connection to note that the
court of appeals of the District
of Columbia handed down an
opinion on Monday declaring
that the cancellation of the mail
contracts last February was a
breach of contract on the part
of the government.—St. Louts

WORK RELIEF PROJECTS
Piojects are few and far be-
tween which combine the ele-
ments of a satisfactory relief
project and one worthwhile to
the taxpayers who are furnish-
ing the money, said George C.
Wright In an address delivered
before the Road Builders’ con-
vention in Washington. Wright
gave a concise word picture of
what lie said happens when pub-
lic officials attempt to use the
taxpayers' money for work-re-
lief:
It Is unfortunate that where
■ he work Is considered with
great emphasis on the relief
part, inefficiency Increases rap-
idly," he said. "Where the char-
acter of the work and the use
materials, machinery and
efficiency are considered,the cost
increases tremendously as com-
pared with the number of men
who are actually securing relief
on such projects.”
Higher class employes, even Lho
unfitted physically for hard
labor, usually endeavor to do »
fair day's work, Wright declar-
ed, adding that "the opposite Is
generally true of men who are
physically fit to do this class of
work" and who are accustomed
to picks and shovels He rec-
ommended segregation of the
'physically fit and mentally
willing" from "sluggards who
only serve to reduce the effic-
iency of a gang,” and suggested
rewards for the former, such as
better pay, even on day labor.
Men on work relief are begin-
ning to lose their morale “In al-
most all cases,” Wright said,
and “employers recognise that
these men who hsve been on
work relief (or many months are
not as bad workmen as they
were before the relief work was
was started.”
Martin expressed the opinion
that the best method of hand-
ling work relief Is to handle It
