President Harding has outlined a program for legislative action in connection with transportation. Offered to congress with the weight of the presi dent's influence, the proposal for carrying out the Cummins theory of compulsory consolidation will be of first importaVice. This plan is opposed by the railroads, the managers having one of their own, on which they are putting great emphasis. There is also much popular opposition in the west to the consolidation proposals, whether regional, as con templated by the Cummins law, or in groups as out lined by the railroad men. There is not much strength in the arguments that the transportation industry suffers for want of n ° w capital, and unless something is done to make railroad investments more attractive, money needed for extensions can not be obtained. Returns to the Interstate Commerce commission for the year 1922 show that ell the- big roads enjoyed more than gen erous incomes. Union Pacific, for example, had net earnings, after all fixed charges- were deducted, amounting to $60,700,000, or $7,000,000 more than ever before, available for dividends, at a rate of almost 13 per cent. Santa Fe had net income after all deductions of $14.07 per share, and for the last ten years the Santa Fe has paid more than $11 per share. The net income to all the roads in 1921 was su^h as permitted the payment of dividends equiva lent to 5.11 per cent of all the stock; that is to say, if one man had owned all the capital stock of the railroads of the United States for that year, and had paid par for every share, he would have re ceived 5.11 per cent return on his investment. Concerning the inflow of new capital into trans portation, the showing is even more impressive. In seventeen years prior to government regulations, the period 1890-1906, publicly-owned railway capital in creased from $7,126,000,000 to $10,172,000,000, or a total increase of $3,046,000,000, an average of $179,000,000 a year. From 1907 to 1921, under government regulation, the publicly-owned capital stock of railroads increased from $10,172,000,000 to $17,016,000,000, or a total of $6,894,000,000, an average of $459,900,000 a year, or a growth of more than double the rate of investment prior to government contral, which has been said to have so adversely affected the chance to sell stocks. Security of investment has never been greater lhan now, for the ratio of funded debt to value in .921 was but 56.1. What the country demands is not greater com binations of roads, but lower rates. The repeal of he Esch-Cumirrins law, with its unjust basis for cal ul3ting rates and fixing charges, should leave the •oads fr°e to compete or co-operate, as prevailed under the Hepburn law. Relief from extortionate charges end improvement in service on competitive lines is the immediate ■ need of the shippers of the nation. Co-ordination of rail, motor-truck and water transportation is a problem entirely outside that of regional or other form of compulsory consolidation of railroad systems. The issue should go to con gress in the simplest terms possible, and this can best be expressed by the repeal of the Each-Cum in ins act. HOGS AND FARM CREDIT. Hogs are selling today at less than they brought before the war. The price is too low to allow west ern stockmen any profit on the 80-cent corn they are feeding. It is not thus that the great corn and hog stales, of which Nebraska is one, will get their share of the business boom. The fact that the drop in hog prices is coincident with the consolidation of the Armour and Morris packing plants does not help that combination in the favor of the farmers. Apologists for the low prices say that too many hogs ara coming to market. On the other side, it is claimed that there is not much pork in storage, and that the demand should easily absorb the sup ply. At all events, it would be well of some of the live stock now headed for market could be held back In the country. Receipts of both hogs and cattle at the South Omaha stock yards last week broke all June records. Since June 1 arrivals of hogs in Omaha have exceeded 125,000 head. The market has failed to withstand this onset, and a se vere setback has been given the farmer. Two years ago, when farm prices hit the to boggan. the War Finance corporation got into ac tion and financed the farmer so that he could hold his products until a favorable market was created. The question now is whether the farmers are rush ing their products to market because they need the money, or for some other reason. If it is credit that -they need, the government machinery for ex tending this should be oiled up and started anew. HALF MAST FOR A DOG. So many ways have been found for reaching the climax of absurdity in personal behavior and bad taste that no surprise is exhibited when a new one hobs up. The latest bidder for the prize in this re gard is Governor Baxter of Maine. He has achieved a place all by himself in having the flag of our country displayed at half-staff over the state house at Bangor, in honor of his dog, just dead and buried. We can understand the devotion of the governor to his dog, a loved and faithful companion. Most people yield to the affection of a good dog and be come greatly attached to one. Daily association with the sagacious and gentle animal breeds a fond ness that justifies deep sorrow when the companion- • ship is broken. “Puck” once remarked that “the undis puted ownership of a setter dog for six months would make a liar of the noblest man that ever lived.” In this case it seems to have urged one to make a fool of himself. Governor Baxter has a little dog cemetery, in which a number of graves 'mark the laat resting place of dogs he lias owned and lavished his affec tion on. So there is reason to think his present grief is not likely to prove inconsolable. But this is the first time he has affronted the sense of dignity of the sovereign state of Maine by a display of his private sorrow. He has achieved a peculiar distinc tion, and surely will hear Its echoes for many a day to come. t MENACE OF THE FASCISTI. What they could not do by the ballot the fascisti of Bulgaria have done by force of revolution. Had they been in the majority they could have swept the anti-militariastic premier out of office by a parliamentary vote. Being in the minority, how ever, they used the army. If the people of Bul garia do not like the change, they can tell their troubles to the military tanks that parade the streets of Sofia. The course of events has followed closely the fashion set by Mussolini in Italy. With Greece, Jugo-Slavia and Rumania threatening a similar overturn, there is indeed ground for the statement that the pressing danger in Europe is not bolshev ism, but fascism. In France, Switzerland and Bavaria the cult of rule by violence is making headway. Recently a French cabinet member arose in the chamber of deputies and charged that a royalist conspiracy had spread throughout the republic, fostered by the spirit of fascism. Thus far, however, the fascisti have not changed the outward form of any government. Though they are skeptics of democracy, apparently it is one of their precepts that forms count for nothing, so long as they are at the helm. Though in Italy they assumed all power, they left King Victor Emmanuel secure on his throne. He has absolutely nothing to do with the administration of public affairs, but he still has his crown. Nor was King Boris of Bul garia molested by the revolution in his land. In fact, he is said to favor the military party which threw out the anti-militaristic peasant premier and put a socialist professor at the head of a new cabinet. Mussolini also was a socialist, but there is noth ing socialistic about the fascisti movement. To a considerable extent it has risen to combat socialism, communism and bolshevism, but in practice it has resulted in excesses as bad as those of the radicals themselves. The old slogans of liberty and democ racy are scrapped by the fascisti. Their great goal is power. They have a profound hatred for state regulation, and in fact many of their activities are carried on by volunteer bands whose connection with the state is extremply vague. Fart of their tactics consists of giving doses of caster oil to those who are out of sympathy with them. In Paris this prescription lately was supplemented by a shampoo in purple ink. Nor are more violent meth ods beyond them. Internationally the coup of Mussolini has not served to settle any of the problems of Europe. As dictator of Italy his foreign policy has been that of a man who would sell his services to the highest bidder. In Bulgaria the fascist revolution is said to favor Germany, probably, however, the military class rather than the peaceful and industrious ma jority. This movement, in whatever country it has taken root, is not a popular one, or it would not have to depend on force for its success. It is spreading among the active minorities of European states, and not so long since Mussolini announced that it would have a branch in America. The impatience, intoler ance and violence that gives it birth is a bad thing for any country. GIRLS OUTDOORS AND IN. “Wohelo means work.” Camp Fire girls know this, and that is why they spent the day on Satur day selling their little symbolic tags on the streets. It was to interest Omahans in the camp fire work, and to raise funds for the support of a summer camp. The little ball and cube, strung on a bit of yarn mean something to the girls who sold them, and the object of the sale inspired them. But work to a Camp Fire girl means more than a tag day ad venture. It means directed, orderly industry, in the household arts, and ip other useful ways. The girl who enters the society advances as she shows pro ficiency and adaptability in real work. “Whohelo means health.” This is as essential to the training of the gjrl as work. She can not be use ful or beautiful unless she is healthy, and so the girls are taught to gain and keep good health. Kx ercise, diet, sanitation, and other thing* leading to the preservation of good health are taught them by precept and example, and they are rquired to apply in their daily lives the lessons so received. This means that the race is receiving the benefit of the training given these girls, for as they become wives and mothers they will take into their own homes the teachings of Camp Fire, and make a better place because they have the knowledge of what should be done and the ability to do it. “Wohelo mean* love." Here is one of the real lessons of Camp Fire. The girls are taught the gentle, loving way of doing things, love for them selves and for others, for the lesser creature and for all things, so that a Camp Fire girl becomes in real ity a messenger of the divine law. Work, health and love are the glorious trinity to which these girls arc devoted, and, trained in these in their girlhood, they will not depart very far from them in womanhood. And the best part of it all is the trmning is not for any particular class, but all girls can have an equal chance at the society’s fountain. Spark Plug having reached New York, some of the nags that have been holding back in Omaha may now come in. A South Side man is sentenced to fifteen days in jail for swearing. He must be remarkably pro ficient. Nebraska never lost a crop because of too much rain. Homespun Verse —Hy Omaha's Own Port— Robert Worthington Davie THE SILENT MAN.

Lodge Pole, Neb.—To the Edit of of The Omaha Bee: Can anyone tell me where to get the poem, "The Flower and the Star,” and who Is the author? Some of the verses are as follows: There is a story I have heard, A poet learned it from a bird; A story of a dim ravine O'er which the lowering tree tops lean. With one blue rift of sky between. For safety, o'er its petals white There crept a blueness like the light Of stars upon a *uuturner's night. And in Its chalice, I am told, This little flower was found to hold A tiny star that gleamed like gold. MRS. FRANK WOLF. Some Old-Time Jingles.

D. F. • haracter F'irst. Bayard, Neb —To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Why Is there so much crime In the world today? When we learn to be honorable our selves. teach and have It taught to all those In our reach, we will have solved at least a part of the cause. In engaging our preachers and teachers we should make sure they are capable' of teaching honor along with other lessons. The example must be there to make It effective. We will have bank absconders and cm bezzlrrs of all kinds as long as the carets s, forgetful child is allowed to help himself to the absent members’ belongings. To borrow without per mission from the owner Is to steal. The true, active meaning of honor must be taught in our churches and schools before crime ran be Km quered. MRK WILLIAM PIN'SKE. Governor Bryan's New Issues. Omaha.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Those who have hewed wood and hauled water for Governor Bryan and his celebrated brother for 30 years are well within their civic and political rights when they question the advisability of cluttering the initiative ballot with meaningless preablea and platitudes. It may be necessary to Initiate some measures with teeth in them and those stereotyped or Bryanesque phrases only produce confusiun. Categorically speaking, we arc not opposed to the proposed measures, but the time to have put them before the public was last January, when Charley Bmyrlia. I J. Dunn. Trenmore Cone and many other democratic wheel horses were walking the streets of Lincoln be cause the doors of the executive man sion were bolted. It's a long, long time till November. 1924, and a lot of dirty water will go over the political dam before that time The difficulty with the pitcher the democrats have in the box is that the other fellows are on to his curve. Thanks to the L’nitod States su preroe court, a very distasteful Issue has been permanently settled, but that does not absolve his excellency from political sins of omission. The West Point (Neb.I Republican, published In a county that gave Mr. Bryan 1.429 plurality at the same time that It de feated his colleague on the same ticket (Senator Hitchcock) by 1,562, recently said: "During the campaign of Governor Bryan many voters In terested In the modification of the lan guage restrictions came to believe that he would assist them If elected. If he will break his silence on this question and give his support to the proposed measure there will be good hopee for Its passage." One of the most active members of the "balance of power,” “reward your friends and punish your enemies" party called upon the governor In the early part of the session In support of the prevalent conviction expre-sed in the West Point paper and met with this rebuff. "You seem to be the only one agitating this question “ This Issue elected Mr. Bryan. He seems to question or ridicule the Idea. The very nature of the circumstances leaves only one avenue of escape, and that la to prove It to hint. Inasmuch as Nebraska Is simply a pawn on the Bryan chess board, no doubt the former Lincoln editor and the members of his present journalis tic staff, Messrs. Gooch and Hitchcock, would prefer to threvh the bushes with some lornl panaceas than to ex plain the question Senator Bristow asked of Paul Warburg, the creator of the federal reserve hank.

W. H. GREEN. Home Next to Heaten. Beaver City, Neb—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: We hear so much at the present time of domestic trouble, divorce, murder and suicide. Are we, as parents, wives and mothers, neglecting our home duties? There is nothing in this world so venerable as the character of Christian parents, no relation so enduring as that of hus band and wife.

From the Meetings Tribune There are certain conditions in every community that are very much the name. For in*tance, there Is a certain num ber of men in every community who have too carry the burden of the peo ple in their locality. Invariably. these men are law a bid In* and a htght type of citizenry. It matters not how much time they give to the benefit of their fellowmen there are always a few who are not only ever ready to criticise hut to condemn every action that they take. After all, it Is the public servant that makes it possible for the com moner to get some of the real pleas ores of life that would be impossible for him to receive otherwise, Editors, reporters and newspaper men In general have taken the pub lie servant too lightly. So have the people in general The average office holder wants to do the right thing—and generally does. They are open to suggestions and they certainly get enough of them I he result of it is that they use their own judgment, which invariably .-■rings them through with a clean record. The "handful" of business men who really do things for a town, city or community, age very much line public servants. They are damned for what they do, and they are damned for what they do not do If. is easy to criticise. Anybody can criticise But It takes "horse sense" for a man to make good, regardless of his trade or profession And tliat is exactly whst the hand ful ' of men use when they devote their time and attention to the up building of the community Anybody can sit back and say. this ought to be done and that ought to be done. But did you ever see, a man of that type do anything’ Book on the list of any cnamber of commerce or boosters' organization and you will not find the name of a man of that caliber enrolled there. This is not only true of Hastings and vicinity, but the same condition exists throughout the land. There are always plenty of fault finders—Just as there are too many gossips. What a community wants is build ors—men who produce. Men who stand around on the street corners w ith th*ir hands in their pock ets are not living—they are just ex isting. All they can talk about is taxes, taxes, taxes, and it is very little they know aivout the subject which is clos est to their h°art. As a rule, the men who really do things for a community are not ap preciated. But lei some spirit drift into the town with a little brass hand accom paniment and he can get more as sistance and more credit in 30 min ute* than the hard working, lovsl and law abiding citizen who ha* burned the midnight oil night after night for the good of his fellowmen.

I nchanging America. From the Minneapolis Journal. Our towns have developed so rapidly Into large cities and home handicraft into large acale industry, that America lias come to be thought of as a land of kaleidoscopic change. Not long ago a well know n sociologist gave expression to this view in a book, I’hanging America.” The fact is that this country haa changed leas in the past few years than majiy others. Kor a century and a hahf Its Declaration of Inde pendence has held the allegiance of the people, and conditions here have drawn millions as to a promised land. While Americas Constitution has continued to stand as a bulwark against time and change. Germany and Italy have become new nations. Revolutionary and evolutionary forces have transformed Japan. Russia and fh» countries of middle Europe. Even Great Britain has been developing from an empire into a great common wealth ' f associated peoples. As a result, tiiis country, once a pioneer re nuhlic, stands toiiav as the oldest, stablest and most prosperous nation «o governed in the world. The suc cess of America’s experiment in demo cratic republicanism has exceeded all expectations. The historian Guizot one* asked the poet Lowell. “How long will your re public stand?"
