satisfactory and reliable that it is being
adopted very generally on most of the
new work being undertaken by other rail-
roads throughout the United States.
Another portion of The North Western
Line protected this year is that between
Madison and Baraboo, Wis, distance
of 1863 miles. In addition to this. the
new double track freight belt line, which
was recently completed and put into
operation about Chicago, has been pro-
tected. This line extends from the II

east of Elmhurst, through Dcs Plain, !,
on the Wisconsin Division, and nor III
eastward to the Milwaukee Division ut
Blodgett, where it connects with the
outer double track line of the Chicago
and North Western Railway between
Chicago and Milwaukee,
Summing up the work which this year
was accomplished on these portions Of
the system, The North Western Line in
all has installed 1877 miles of new auto

This work means not only
a very large first cost to the
railroad company, but also
a considerable increase In
the annual operating ex-
penses for the purpose Of
maintaining and operating
the system. It is along the
line, however. in the words
of officials of the road, of the
North Western Lines de-
termination to extend over
it's system the best signal
protection possible.
But three short stretches
remain to be completed with
signals to give The North
Western Line complete auto
matte protection between
Chicago and st. Paul and
Minneapolis VIA both routes.
Plans have been drawn up
for this work next year and
the construction forces will
be set to work as soon as
the opening Of spring makes
the work possible. The
North Western Line now is
the only line equipped with
automatic electric block sig
nails between Chicago and
Omaha.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAvENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District.

Finally Louisville firm discovered
a process of blowing sulphur fumes
through boiling cottonseed oil and
afterwards refining the sulphur from
the oil. This left a yellow oil in
which even chemical tests would some
times fail to detect sulphur.
Oleo made from. this oil was sub
mitted TO the treasury department for
an opinion on the validity of it's use
as a naturally colored oil. The gov.
eminent analysis failed TO detect arti-
fetal coloring, but the manufacturers
were warned that if subsequent tests
detected coloring, the oleo would be
subject to the 10 cent tax.
The manufacturers, nevertheless,
during 1911 and 1912 put out this oleo.
paying only Ia cents per pound tax on
it. Later the bureau of animal indus
try analyzed samples Of this oleo and
found them to contain sulphur as col
oring matter. On this evidence the
treasury department demanded to see
the books of the oleo companies.
and found that on the sulphur oleo
already sold there was due the govern
ment 81, 246,62S.62 in taxes at 10 cents
pound.
The manufacturers offered to settle
for S101,100. At this point the house
committee on expenditures in the
treasury department of which Mr.. Coz
was chairman, made an investigation
Its report recommended that the com
promise be rejected. This report wa:
made on February %, 1913, and copie:
sent to Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh.
According 20 Mr. Cox, the attorneys
for the oleo manufacturers, when ley
heard the house report, got busy put
ting pressure on MacVeigh to accep
the compromise.
AT 1855 o'clock on the morning o.
\ the 4th of last March one of the las
acts performed by Secretary Na,
: Veagh was to accept the compromise,
said Mr.. Cox. HE rendered that de
cision, eXempting them from paying
: S1,000,000, in the face of the law ant
in the face of the solemn facts in tn
case"

THE MOTOR MANIAC.

The story was told in the press a
few days ago Of an unknown man in a
big motor car who ran his machine
recklessly through one OF the main
streets Of Chicago. He smashed one
automobile, injured several persons,
one perhaps fatally, but by some
strange freak Of fate his car escaped
serious damage and he sped on, es,
Gaping arrest.
There could not be punishment toe
severe for a motor maniac like that.
Most drivers Of cars are cautious
II is only the motor mad few who
cause ali the trouble and make drastic
laws and severe penalties necessary.
The motoriSt who exceeds speed
limits and deliberately imperils the
property and lives of others should
never be let off with a nominal fine
nor with heavy fine.
A long prison term is too mild &
penalty for such malefactor.

POOR INDIANS WEALTH

A bill introduced by Senator Gore
shows that the poor Indian of Pope's
day is more than ever an object Of en-
Wy to his white neighbors. AS usual,
HIS comparative wealth prompts them
20 step Of no unselfish sort At d
time when the farmers OF the south
west feel urgent need Of money for the
development OF their vast new coun-
try, the 10000 Indians of Oklahoma
possess great wealth. The trust funds
Of the tribes in the United States
treasury and Oklahoma banks amount
to $2s,500,O0O; 100000 more are due
them on deferred land payments; the
pending sale of segregated coal fields
will add $1O,OOo,OO0 more; and the
tale is not even then told. Oklahoma
statesmen are anxious TO have these
great sums placed in state banks in
such manner that they will be avail
able for farm loans.
They argue that the nation will re-
coup the interest it now pays on the
Indian funds, reaching nearly a mil
lion yearly, that the farmers will bene-
fit immeasurably, and the Indians will
lose nothing. This should leave the
simple tribesmen, whether in con
tented ease or laboring upon theil
own farms, somewhat puzzled
A paternal government throws oper

The wheat field in harvest time tells

sheaves to his body and cut them with
a sickle possibly before his father
bought a cradle.

for binding; Irvine was not in common

After the law was passed the manu-
facturers searched the world for a
natural product which could properly
go into the manufacture of oleo and
which could give it the yellow color
II was argued that if some wholesome
oil, having a yellow color, could be
found, the oleo in which such oil was
an ingredient, could not be termed ar

of the law, and would legally escape
