If lite system adopted by Henry
Ford in operating liis railroad,
the Detroit. Toledo &. Ironton.
was applied to every raidroad in
the country. as has been suggested,
there would be a saving of
billions of dollars annually to
business men and consumers. It
would mean the difference between
an efficiently operated and
highly profitable transportation
system ami one which is just two
st.-ps ahead of bankruptcy, main
tains a lobby in Washington to
inveigle as many millions as possible
from the government, cuts
tiie wages of iis workers and
(tils the public that it may go
to before rates are cut. Small
wonder that petitions are flowing
into" Washington urging that
tiie railroads and other badly
managed enterprises in which the
public is vitally interested be
turned over to Ford
Perhaps it would not be a bad
idta for the World war veterans
\.ho are urging bonus legislation
to adopt the plan outlined by a
leader of the Iowa farmers, Col.
Smith liookharl, who wotdd have
the government make a survey of
the fortunes aeeunudated as a
result of the war and then levy a
sufficient tax i\n the possessors to
produce the amount needed to
pay the bonus. No one could object
to the plan except the profiteers,
and there is no reason why
their feelings should be considered
in the matter. It is estimated
that 1 .'i.OOO new millionaires
had their names entered on the
books id' the internal revenue department
between the date of
the entry of the United States into
the war and tin- signing of the

succeeded in getting awav with
a total of lf> hill ion tlollars while
our boys were fighting overseas.
If tlie former soldiers ran compel
them to disgorge this loot
they can secure the bonus to
which they are entitled and at
the same time render the country
a great service.
Stick a pin here: If there is
anything happening in North
Carolina that has the semblance
of a sensation, depend upon the
Charlotte papers to make the
most of it. A few days ago these
papers imagined they luul discovered
an earth-rocking story in
the resignation of a man named
Craven as head of the Ku Klux
Klan in that State. They played
up the story to a fare-you-well on
the first nai/e and m tli??ir
rial columns commended ('raven's
action. Willi what had the appearance
of "a watch me strut
air" Craven let the word go down
the line thut he considered the
l\u Klux Man a lawless organization
and that he had resigned
as State mogul and ordered every
local elan in his jurisdiction dish
uided forthwith. lint?it now
appears hat Craven had no office
from which lie could resign and
tl at his "order" disbanding the
local klans was puerile. That, at
least, is what Col. Simmons id'
Atlanta, head of the national Kn
K lux. Klan. says.
