SAYS MONTANA
I LAND IS NO GOOD

A strip Of volcanic ash land
too poor to sprout blacleyed peas,
is the way Elmer Phipps, 1924
Windsor Avenue, Kansas City, de-
scribes the fertility of the Mont
ana lands now causing hundreds OF
homeseekers to rush to Montana
Mr.. Phipps has just returned from
an investigation of the land. The
claim is fifty miles long and twen-
ty miles wide. but it is not desir-
able for farming, according to Mr..
Phipps. He found that all the
good land along the railroads had
been given to the Indians. Besides
the lack of fertility i'm the soil, the
settlers will have to cope with long
severe winters and doubtful sum.

Your scarehead calling attention TO

follows political faith of the en-

II the promotions OF thirty mine
Democrats were made only after de-
noting thirty-nine Republicans in
high places, IL seems TO me that the
choice places must have been occupied
by Republicans to the exclusion of
the Democrats during the Republican
Administrations and the pain suf-
fered by them in being "weaned" from
the pap" causes the outcry against
promotions made because of political
faith. 1t is ludicrous to hear the Re-
publicans cry for the civil service to
protect them now when they were
appointed and promoted because they
were Republicans and without regard

ADVOCATES JUSTICE
RATHER THAN RULES
Meyer Does Not Want !. c. C. to
Adhere to Specific Standard
Of Decisions.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. e-The axiom
that 1t was more important that JUS
tice be achieved in large way than
that some specific standard shall be
promulgated and adhered to under all
conditions" was laid down by Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner B. Fl
Meyer today In discussing railway rate
making before the American Economic
Association.
"As long as rival individuals engage
in trade. Offering to rival consumers the
same or competing commodities, the
railway rate problem will continue to
exist" he said ''The present system Of
private ownership and system OF regu-
lations may give way to different sys-
TENS of regulations. and these. In turn.
may be superseded by a system OF pub
lie ownership, but none Of these viii
terminate rate controversies"
The speaker declared that cost Of
service. at present neglected, win be
employed much more in the future Dis
cussins public policy as a factor in
shaping railway rates. the commission
er deprecated the fixing Of rates sole
ly with a view to meeting the real or
supposed needs Of different patrons or
classes Of patrons, irrespective Of the
cost Of service.
NO one can state in advance the
specific facts in a rate problem nor the
standard or combination Of standards
best fitted to the particular case and
most likely to promote Justice to the
parties In interest he said.
