RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT

Attention Of Public to

The Common Carriers Ask Tor He'
President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five Of the leading
railroad systems Of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson q
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental authori-
ties and the public In supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression Of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
Of the country face q most serious
crisis and the memorandum is
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such
confagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say In part: by reason Of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently Of each other, as
wen as through the action Of strong
public opinion. railroad expenses In
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism Is here made of the gen.
eral theory Of governmental regula-
tion, but on the other hand, no In
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, In transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public. character
ICES It as "a lucid statement Of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency az extraordinary con-
tinuing, said in part:
"You ask me to call the attention
Of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped In every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the' action, wherever
feasible Of governmental agencies, and
/ am glad to do so because ! think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly q
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to q new world Of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens In our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
ings of commissions and financing
railroads Is one Of them. The man
with the money IL q factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter-
ested party that should always be con-
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton of our railroad problems.

much power, too much for even

for a governor who has already
established himself as a menance

New Appointment by N. & c.

Mr.. G. N. Mcdaniel of Frank
lin, has just been appointed gen.
eral cros-tie agent for the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis
Railway. He has been author
lied to make purchases of cross
ties direct from the producer,
thereby guaranteeing to the far
mers along the lines of the sys-
tenn the fullest cash returns for
ties delivered at points along the
right of way.
The Importance of this position
may be understood when the
statement is made that the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis
Ry., expends annually for cross
ties about $3.50, 900. This is quite
an item 70 the men who get out
the timber and haul it to the
points of delivery. Under the
new arrangement they will now
receive the full cash market
value.

Exchanging School Books.

Several new features are en-
braced in the contracts in con-
nection with the matter OF ex-
changing old school books for
new ones, which will be of great
advantage to those who have to
purchase school books this fall.
One of these is, that where
the same book has been re-adopt-
ed, the school child is permitted
to exchange an old book for a
new one by paying the usual ex-
change price. The new arrange
>ment will enable children to turn
in their dirty, dog-eared and UNI
sanitary books for new ones, al
though the old book was re-adopt-
ed. The exchange price applies
also to high school books now in
use.
There is another provision in
the new contract, known as the
promotional and devotional ex-
change. This simply means that
the child is not only allowed to
exchange an old book for a new
one of the same grade, but that
he may exchange his old book
for a lower or higher book on
the same subject. For example,
he may exchange any reader in
the entire series for any other
reader in the series. This APP
plies to grammars and all other
books.
Another new feature in the
exchange Of textbooks is that
exchange period has been ex-
tended so that it will terminate
Nov. Is, 1915, instead of Nov. l,
1915. This additional time will
be especially valuable to all the
children who enter school late
next year.
Any book that can be used in
the school by the student may be
used in exchange, even if the
backs are off and some of the
Sas missing, provided that all

In all branches of business,
either commercial or those of
amusement, imposing magnitude
is sought as a necessary appeal
to the public for the bestowal of
patronage. The business man
who buys in large quantities and
offers the best goods-and more
of them for the least money
will, by the universal laws of
Nature, ultimately obtain control
of the line in which he deals.
Following the same line of ar
gument to a parallel conclusion

ing achieved a like result by
their adoption of methods by
which patrons are given a maxi
