PAGE TWO mu Second Class matter March 1, 1911, at the post office at Highland M'nmm'mmfidumhs.xm. f j : Out of the mass of more or less conflicting testimony in the mafier of the shooting of Samuel D. Christopher on the public highway Saturday night by a Cook county deputy sheriff, one thing seems clearly demonstrated, and that is that a citizen of e county, innocent of any crime or felony, unarmed and with no evidence of having violated any law, except perhaps the statute regulating the driving of a motor car, was shot down by an officer. Na‘matter what the officer‘s explanation may be, there remains th¢ Fact that the man is dead and his wife and family of small chilâ€" 1 are bereft of the care of a husband and father who had done ring to warrant more than a small fine at the most. This sh aild be a warning to overâ€"zealous officers who are in the habit of| hooting indiscriminately on the public highways. Even if, as th) officer sans, he was not shooting at the man, but at the tires jis car, this does not change the tragic consequences of the act. If) ‘he man had run down another car or a pedestrian, causing ie one serious injury and then had speeded away without 8 ing to ascertain the extent of the damage done, there might been excuse for the officer‘s using his gun to halt the fugiâ€" tive. There never can be any excuse for an officer killing . a man who has not comtritteed a crime, except in self defense. This had committed no crime; he was not armed; he did not atâ€" the officer. Yet he paid with his life because the officer slipped. Officers are too prone to "glip" under such ‘conditions, this slip is likely to have serious results. The coroner‘s jury difl right in holding the officer to the grand jury, so that the whole ir might be given a thorough iglvestigutiom . THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1926 â€"Radio is making ocean travel safer. By the use of recently p‘fected thoriated tungsten tubes, the ice patrol is now able to flash warnings without interfering with commerce and broadâ€" nthfng. Speaking. of this invention, which combines thorium d tungsten, ‘both metals, for new uses to mankind, L. A. Hawâ€" engineer in charge of. the Research Laboratories of the Genâ€"« erial Electric company, said ; : ; ‘ "Ice patrol warnings from this equipment, while reaching h farther than ever before, will no longér be a source of inâ€" tepference with commercial traffic‘and broadcast entertainment. Uilder favorable conditions, it is expected that direct communiâ€" calfion will be had with headquarters in Washington. . â€" ""Suécess for the ice patrol consists not only in finding bergs, but also in conveying quickly to ships at sea: exact information ofthe whereabouts of these menacing floaters. Most ships‘traversâ€" iflg the Atlantic are now equipped with radio apparatus; hence the fitting of these patrol boats with the best radio trangsmitters / 'cmuld be produced." Discovery of new uses of radio are almost a daily oc?urrence, its value to mankind is incalculable. â€" | Uxyger f caion w "Suc but also oftthe w a Ales _ .~Tt is not easily controverted that the sale price of an article, which must be the gost of production plus a profit, and all «ost of operation, is 1 taxed upon the consumer.

A more vital fact, is also shown in the decrease of $385,000,000 orâ€"10,6 per cent in federal expenditures for 1924, while state and local governments increased their expense by $492,000,000,â€" or 7.6 per cent. f « : % ' In spite of the large reduction possible by the federal governâ€" ment in lopping ‘off war expenditures, due to state and localâ€"exâ€" travagance*there was a net increase fito 1924 of $107,000,000. * The problem presented by a'steag}' increase in; state ‘and fiunicipnli tax rates concerns every individual, whethér or not he a l“;'ilmperty owner. j 1 igh cost of government contributes directly, as must be adâ€" itted, to the high cost Qg living generally.
