DOES MEMORY CORRESPONDS
Many Things Seem Longer Ago, while
others Impress One as Of More
Recent Occurrence - An
Eventful Year.

The following resume OF local
events of the year just closed will no
doubt be of interest to our readers.
The year has been an eyentful one in
Oskaloosa and Mahaska county, ana
more things have transpired than one
could believe until he makes study
of them. Here is a list, which is no
doubt incomplete, but will serve as
a kaleidoscope of the passing month:

SCIENTIFIC CONTROL
NEED Of RAILROADS
Higher Efficiency and Not
Increased Rates the Rem,
edy, Says Brandeis.

Urging higher standards of efficiency
Instead of increased freight charges as
the remedy for the situation In which
the railroads of the country find them
selves, Louis D. Brandeis, of Boston,
counsel for the Traffic Committee OF
Commercial Organizations of the At
lantic Seaboard, has filed with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission his brief in
opposition to the rate increases proposed
by the roads in official classification ter
ritory.
Mr.. Brandeis took this position when
before the commission some weeks ago.
His doctrine as to the roads demands Is
thus summed up:
IF their net income Is insufficient
the proper remedy is not higher rates.
resulting in higher cost and lessened
business, but scientific management, re-
sulting in lower costs, In higher wages,
and increased business"
The consumer, according to Mr.. Bran
deis, should beware Of the vicious cir
Gle of ever-increasing freight rates and
ver-increasing cost of living"
He maintains the roads could save
at least 81 ,000,000 day by scientific man
agement. He asserts the roads have ut
terly failed to show that the new tariffs
they want put in force are justifiable.

DEVELOP PhENTS IN
FIGHT FOR SENATE
Whitney Indorses Lodge, and
Caucus Picks Oliver In
Pennsylvania.

Important developments with re-
spect to various Senatorial situations
have occurred in different States in

five years ago nearly carried Massa-
chusetts for lieutenant governor on
the Democratic ticket, and later was
nominated for governor. has come out
for the return of Senator Lodge to the
Senate. Mr.. Whitney Is for Canadian
recipr ocity. He says he wants Presi-
dent Taft's hands upheld in negotiat-
ing for Canadian reciprocity. and that
this is no time for playing politics.
To this Governor-elect Foss has
issued a reply, saying that the next
Senator from Massachusetts, must rep
resent the people, not State street. He
declares Lodge already defeated.
Senator Lodge has reached the
crisis of his political career. and will
defend his record in q speech in Sym
phony Hall, Boston. tonight.
Senator oliver has been agreed on
to succeed himself in Pennsylvania
by the caucus of the Republicans Of
the legislature.
Dispatches from Helena say a tend
ency toward the selection of Gov.
Edwin L. Norris, Democrat, as the
successor to Senator Carter, is shown.
In California the indications are
said to be that Judge John D. Works,
of Los Angeles, will be chosen Sena-
tor to succeed Senator Flint.
