A Maryland constitutional amendment would bar from any public office anyone "who Is a member of an organi2atlon that advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States or the state of Maryland through i force or violence." Michiean Is attacking the problem in !a, different way. The so-called "foreign agents" law passed by the 1947 legislature is being submitted to th people as a referendum. It would require any person or organization directly or indirectly influenced by, or serving the purpose of. a foreign power to retisUr with the state attorney-general, i , Both state proposals obviously are aimed at Communists.

This is not criticizing aviation. Great ships of the skies cross oceans and continents safely and regularly. The wonder is that there are so few casualties. But when something does happen, as it will, destruction has a completeness and swiftness little short of appalling. However, the sky is becoming a world highway that knows no limitations. Through study, widened knowledge and unerring equipment risks will become less and less. One of the sources of mishaps and fatalities can be found in private motor travel. Reports of death and maiming continue to occupy a lot of news-paper space. How far do owners and drivers of cars, have a sense of responsibility? Nine times out of ten it all boils down to that.

Nee" 0OS if DOGS, CATS, RATS IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED that we write an I editorial about dogs and it was no friend of dogs who suggested it either. Being so friendly and sympathetic to dogs ourselves, we had not thought so very seriously about some of their shortcomings and in how many ways some of the errant canines make general nuisances of themselves. So we had to be reminded of the pooch who howls all night to disturb the honest slumbers of patient neighbors, the bluffer who comes charging out of the yard to terrify the women and knock down the children, the sneaky fellow who comes up from behind and nips you somewhere in the nether regions, the rapacious one who knocks over the carefully set out garbage 'can and scatters the contents thither and yon, the more, discriminating one who wanders into the food shops and sniffs among the vegetables and fruits, the itinerant who 'meanders "up and down the sidewalks and indulges in the doggy customs which come naturally. So there seem to be quite a few counts against our ranine friends which we had not thought much about and which constrain us to see the point of view of some of the indignant citizens who feel that this dog situation is one that is getting a bit out of bounds. Maybe lit is appropriate to suggest that the authorities have been a Jittle lax in the dog patrol and that, if the dogs are not kept in a little better custody by those responsible for them, there should be a cleanup. And while we are on the subject of dogs, how about the cats? How about yowling felines who desecrate the midnight air with their wierd wail-mgs as they press and exercise their amours? What are wp going to do about old Tom who wanders from To wawn makin a smelly nuisance of him-sell ? What are we going to do about him and his night-walking' consorts ? And while we are on the subject of dogs and cats, how about the rats which we hear are becoming a menace to health if not to personal safety? How about .a rat campaign on a scientific basis which would include some measures which would make it not quite so easy for the rodents to thrive and pronagate ? Coming to really think of this ar.imal situation now, maybe there might be an opportunity for some useful co-ordination. We have had our dog-catchers who specialized in their line and we have had rat-catchers too in the course of Prince Rupert s history. Why not combine the two and add the cats and make a real job of it? Since only some people like dogs and only some others like cats while nobody that we know of likes rats-at least the kind which we see scuttling around' Prince Rupert everybody ought to agree on this suggestion. All of which may sound a little facetious here but which might be worthy of serious consideration at BUSINESS AND PROFESSION Still Rail At Railways Nationalization Fails to Solve British Transportation Problems By James McCook Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON, f Britain's nationalized trains, freshly painted and under a new name "British Railways" continue to cause concern to o perators and customers. j Sir Cyril Hurcomb, chairman of the TransDort Commfssion. announced recently the rail- ; ways "are having a tough bat-' tie to increase traffic." An fn- crease in fares last year failed by a wide margin to yield an extra $260,000,000 hoped for. On the other hand, the trav-' elling public comrjlains there has been little imDrovement in service. Transport Commission ' spokesmen say facilities are be-' ing improved in spite of short- , ages. But higher fares and poor accommodation have reduced the number of pissengers. ! In the first five months of 1948 passenger journeys were fewer by nearly 20.000,000 than in the same period last year. PLAN MORE SERVICES The Transport Commission will try to capture more business by establishing more and fast-it services, with additional faci-ities for reservations and dining. Long-distance buses, which come under the jurisdiction ot the Transport Commission, keep their fares lower than those charged by the railways. The ound trip from Glasgow to London, for instance, costs about half as much as by train. The Commislon may accord-ngly raise bus fares.
