UNDERWOOD BECOMES TOO CHILDISH

President Underwood of the Erie has sent forth

SO this railroad man would divert pensions and
moving picture money to the railroads would he'
Possibly he would make freight and passenger
rates so high that those who spend money to 20 to
the movies wouldn't have anything left for that
purpose He would have the government cut down
the pensions and help the railroads.
OF course President Underwood went on 10
show in this banquet speech how the railroads
are being egislatcd ont of existence, and some of
his remarks contained smattcrng of good sense.
He said that during the past year | 49j separate
and distinct laws regulating railroads were
passed in this country The total would have been
larger no doubt but some of the legislatures were
not in session.
But it was not as bad as it might appear on its
face Some of the laws were passed at the insti-
