FORD'S RAILROAD WISDOM ONI. must net lake loe seriously Henry Ferd's remarks about bow he would manage the Pennsylvania llallroed. IUh succi-ss In luannglng the Detroit, Teledo mill Irentnu ltnllrend has iiualilled him tu speak en some aspects of railroad management, but net en all of them. Yet bis remarks are Interesting. Most railroads, hi- ns. hnvc enough law yers werklne; for them te operate them "If they were cngnged in useful work," Indi cating thnt Ids admiration for lawyers Is about fiN great as Woodrew Wilsen's, It will be recalled thnt Mr. Lansing reported Ihnt Mr. Wilsen declined te permit nny lawyer In the American delegation te have anything te de with writins the Versailles Treaty. Few will disagree with him when he says that many economies could be made, that unnee-cssary men could be dismissed, thnt delays In the handling of freight could be eliminated and thnt -the construction of the rolling stock could be Improved. Hut when he talks about getting rid of the burden of carrying the shnrehelders be talks like nn amateur economist. He seems te think that no one shetibl own nny stock in n railroad company who was net actively connected with Its operation. If this bad been the practice in the past it would hnvc been impossible te Und capital te build the railroads. Investors of all 'iiids hnvc put their money in railroad shnrcB and railroad bends, nltrncteil by the rate of interest offered. Tin- big investor secured representation in the bemrii of directors, but the little investor intruded his money te men who he believed were better able than he tee make it earn dividends for him, and he dbl net meddle wilh them. It would be nn Ideal situation if the men who operated the reads, from the track hand te llic president, owned Ihem, but it would take about S'.'O.OOO.OflO.OOO te buy them, and there is tint that amount of money in the possession of the railroad workers. The Plumb plan advocates suggested thnt the toads be given te the workers, but it is in in deisi'd by no one save these who want some thing for nothing. It mnlitit be that Mr. Ferd is advocating the Plumb plan by indliee tien. If he is ndve ating it. lie might tr. it out with his own business first te let 'lie - euntry see hew if wuii;s.

Value of Trees te a City "Trees and shtubbery are ituperlaiil le a city and te all civilized areas, for tlmt iimtler, for u number of reasons.

"In tin- second place, tree.s render a giate ful shade en the het. dusty streets of cities dining the summer months, when n pitiles sun beats down, te be absorbed by the asphalt, unshaded brick walls and kin reefs, te be given off Inter, when the ejel of the evening should come, as n het blast. "Third, trees purify the atmosphere by taking up the carbonic- ncid gas ghen off by nnlm.ils and human beings, this carbon di oxide being combined into the tissues of the plant with the evolution of the life-giving oxygen.
