Discussion of the proposed site for the air field brings to mind a little matter that, has been too long neglected. Regardless of whatever conditions pre vailed when the courts derided that a considerable part, of East Omaha really is in Iowa, the situation now demands that that, decision be rhanged. Not hy reversing the court's order, hut by inducing the state of Towa to rede to Nebraska the land that lies wholly within Nebraska's borders, and belongs to Iowa only by rpasnn of what may he called a legal fiction. Something like forty years ago the Missouri river one night made a cut-off. The current look a straight shoot across a neck of land, and left a loop which since has become farter Lake. The land outside that, loop is Nebraska, the land inside is Iowa. This because the court distinguishes between a sudden and a gradual change in the river's meander. The renter of the stream being the houndary line be tween the two states. Omaha is making extensive improvements on the lak'p. because it is part of the city's park system. But. half of it is in Iowa. The lake is now set apart ss a sanctuary for wild fowl, hut complications may ari«e because of divided control. The air field will be inside Nebraska in all respects. Carter Lake eluh residents are hy right citizens of Omaha, but in reality are citizens' of Iowa, for they do not reside in Nebraska. A lot. of these in consistencies might be cleared up, were the subject taken up with the Iowa authorities and settled on a reasonable basis. SLAUGHTER IN THE COAL MINES. America has the highest, death rate per ton of roal mined in all the civilized world. It is increasing its own record. In 1924 the figures were higher than for 1923. The start, made hy 1925 suggests it. will reach the highest total ever attained. As a people we have become so calloused to in dustrial accidents that we give little attention to 'hem Volumes are written or uttered deploring jh» sacrifice of life attendant on war. Vet ttip sac rifice ip industry exceeds that of war. and is ac cepted almost a« a matter of course. In nothing is this more clearly shown than in the roal mining in dustvv. Great attention has been given to the mat ter of what to do aftpr the accident, has occurred. Elaborate systems for carrying on rescue work are adopted. Much more can be done toward the greater ohirrt, that of preventing accidents. It is known that colliery explosions result from e'ther gas or dust. Presence of one or the other in dangerous quantities always manifests itself before the disaster. Ventilation i* the remedy for one. and will a'sist in overcoming thp other. One ap proved remedy for dust, is thp sprinkling of 'he ex posed surfaces of the roal seam with rook dust, which keeps down the explosive coal dust. These things are known, but: are not generally used. Cost of pumping down fresh air, nr of sprin kling with rock dust, may he assigned as Ihe reason for the failure to apply the safely devices. Some day public sentiment may he aroused to a point W'here it will resent the fact that nearly five men die for each 1,000,000 tons of coal hoisted in the United States. One does not. like to sit hy a glow ing grate and have his musings disturbed hy the thought of the sacrifice of human lifp st which his comfort is purchased. Rut the slaughter in the coal pits goes needlessly on. OUR OWN BIENNIAL SA1.ARV GRAB*. Congress put through a bill increasing the pay of its own members so fast that the paper if was written on almost scorched as if whizzed along. The Nebraska legislature is moving a little more deliber ately in the consideration of requests for increases in pay. It, seems that, about every mother's son whose name is on the public payroll in any capacity thinks be should have his salary hiked. That is a laudable ambition. No man should be satisfied with what, he is getting. If he thinks be is worth more and has a chance to get more, he should go after it. But, there is the other side to Ihe ques tion. If the public is paying enough for the service it is getting, and the public generally is liberal, then the office holder should he required to make out an exceedingly good case for hitnsrlf before he is al lotted the advance in salary rale he is seeking. This gencnl rule should always he observed. We do not undertake to answ«e the question en tirely. Among the list of those who are now be r.ieging the legislators for increases in pay some doubtless havp good reason bark of them. Others do not. The whole matter should he examined into very carefully, and final sward should be made oil JustJre and facts as they exist. Taxes in Nebraska are high enough, salaries paid officials in general are fair. Keeping these admitted facts in mind, the bills for adding new butdens bv mason of increase in mlaries should be very care fully scrutinized by the legislature. Salary grabs In mass never are popular. GOMPERS' SPIRIT MARCHES ON. Decision of the railway labor union heads not ♦« enter into the formation of a third party as och U significant of one thin". The precept and ex ample of the great leader of organized labor still arp potent. Samuel Gompers was an exponent of the theory that labor's proper field was economic, not political. In politics be was confessedly and practically an opportunist. Recognizing that in both democratic and republican parties were men of atrong sympathy ami decided leaning toward the program of labor, Gompers steadfastly preached, “Reward your friends and punish your enemies.” By this he meant that labor should support those who would help and oppose those who would hinder, regardless of party label. Labor can gain no decided advantage through political control, in this or any other country. That was very conclusively shown by the recent experi ence of England, where a labor government held office for a short and fruitless season. Its program, exclusively socialistic, was found incapable of being put into force. The overwhelming victory of the tories at the election shows how complete was the reversal of public thought. Only one president of an international union at tlie Chicago conference voted for the third parly. He said he could not hind his organization. Only nine of Ihe sixteen voted to go into Ihe meeting of the La Follette conference, and they will go as indi viduals, not as spokesmen for their organizations. The socialists will revive the fortunes of their party, almost extinguished by the La Follette movement. But whatever form of political organization emerges, it will not he a labor party. Samuel Gompers, though dead, still speaks to his followers. GIANT COMMERCE, PETTY LAWS. Again has the Federal Trade commission centered thought on the development of modern industry in the United States. It asks that the big packing rom ; nanies he required to divest themselves of ownership of refrigerator cars. That the same be turned over to a managing concern, which will run them as does the Pullman company its sleeping and dining cars. That sounds all right, but the proposition should ! he examined very closely before an opinion is defi nitely expressed. Keep in mind that a similar order with reference to the stockyards could not be carried out as planned, because outsiders did not care to in vest several hundreds of millions in the enterprise. Also, that very recently the fruit growers of Gali 'ornia were before the I. asking that the order ; which forbids the hauling of other than meat foods in packers' refrigerator cars he modified, so that ihe fruit growers can again have a service they were deprived of by the action of the Federal Trade com mission. Regard, also, the fact that the packers have de veloped their refrigerator car lines just as they have enveloped other phases of the industry. Not as a monopoly, but as necessary and essential service to *he public. Railroad companies would not invest the large sunn of money needed to provide the specially built cars. Others than the packers have these cars. Before prohibition the breweries had them. Finally, it emphasizes strongly what The Omaha Bee has been saying in regard to the development of business in America. We are out of the day of the | small, the petty, the insignificant. Into an era of great, enterprises, using httge sums of capital, employ ing thousand* of men, doing business on a conti nental. or a world scale. Mass production, mass dis- , tribution, mass consumption, is the rule today. The order of the Federal Trade commission, if enforce able, would check progress, hamper industrial devel opment. set us hack to where we were in the '80s. when the first signs of the present day became ap parent. If we start going backward, where will we slop'.' What period of the world's development will he chosen as the camping ground for our social exist ence? To call a great co-ordinated service ''monop oly” and order it broken up for no better reason than , that it is big, ia going backward. It is like demoliah | ing a huge modern printing press because it is more efficient than the antiquated affair Ben Franklin used. That served in Franklin's day, but it is a curiosity lather than a source of service now. The robin, the lark and the bluebird having been ''seen,” we now await announcement of the mos quito and the flshworin in order to proclaim the ad vent of Spring. Meanwhile, the groundhog still ha* the floor. Some of these days an iconoclast will stand up and tell ua that Senator Vest never paid that tribute I to the dog, and then the work of obliterating iconoclasts will begin. -—„-•—. . i ■ i —— - “Earth vibrations” continue in and about San Francisco. San Franciscans discourteously lefuse to recognize an earthquake when they meet it on the public highway. There is at least one good thing about those Herrin massacres. They prevented a lot of northern newspapers from throwing editorial fits about mob* down south. After 64 years of statehood Kansas is allowed to furnish a member of the cabinet. We trust this will have a tendency to heal a few of those bleeding wounds. One great and glorious item of news may have escaped your attention. A dispatch asserts that “Big Bill" Havward is still in Russia. Our idea of a genuine optimist i* a man looking through the seed catalogues and thinking he can raise ’em just like the picture*. King George of England is said to he suffering front a had told. And no 12-mile limit on the remedy, either. The city man who laughs at the hicks for hm ing gold bricks is the same man who falls for the “prime old stuff" gag. j Homespun Verse By Omalit'i Own Port Robert If orthington Davie ---/ GOING INTO BUSINESS V\ lii»ii on# g#i# weerv of working for wag#*.
