OF the spring wheat acreage for this

One Of the biggest individual traders

WHERE Tor
Query To Railroads In Economic Drift
Says James Schermerhorn.

Query To Railroads In Economic DRIFT,
Says James Schermerhorn.
Where To?" The question you
put 10 the traveller and the shipper
through your little window is also the
query you must be addressing to the
economic drift" said James Scher-
merhorn TO the Transportation club
at their first meeting at the Wayne
Gardens, Saturday noon, in reply to
the statements Of ex-Gov. Black and
President Baer to the Pittsburg Traf-
fic club few days ago.
Mr. Schermerhorn said he might
not have the right answer, but to him
the ultimate destination looked like
public ownership and operation. There
was no doubt at all that the roadbed
OF conviction had been running in
that direction for several years past.
TOhe fault is not with the men
below who operate, but with those
above who manipulate. Wrecking
and footing will be lost arts when the
government gets a firm grip on the
situation: so there will be nothing
enticing in the prospect for the mas
ter minds. who have no taste for mere
fetching and carrying for the dear
peoples sake.
The speaker congratulated Joseph
S. Hall on his deserved promotion,
pointing out that men Of his type who
do their duty intelligently and con-
scientiously, never bring anathema
upon private ownership. They are the
glad hand and the busy hand of the
service-not the grabbing hand OF a
Hartman or the despoiling hand OF
a Huntington.
