WHY THE COST OF OPERATING

not so many years ago, when the far
lnef sold his corn at % cents per
ousnel. NOW 1T brings from so cents
10 20 cents. So, too, he sold hogs at
cents per pound, which now readily
Drlng from Z cents to 10 cents
while good steer calf. which used
to bring from $40 to $12, now sells
for from $40 to $25. Nobody who
knows anything about present land
values or the farmers cost of produc-
oion will contend that he is not
entitled to these increased prices. AS
matter OF fact, unless he is an eX-
ceedingly good manager and utilities
the best of modern agricultural
thought he is by no means getting
rich at present prices-high as they
may seem to people in the cities who
do not understand the cost attached
to present-day farming. To go back
to the old prices he used to receive.
would bankrupt, in little while, ev
cry farmer in the country-and the
| tendency of the future will be for
the prices of farm products to go still
higher rather than lower. AgricuI-
ture is the nations greatest funda-
mental industry and society must
make the farm game sufficiently prof
liable to justify the man who is on
the farm today and the farmer boys
! OF the future to stay by the plow
Much has been said recently about
the fact that the farmer does not re-
ceive enough for what he produces
that there is too big a waste in the
channels through which his products
pass before they reach the consum-
er, and that he has some cause for
complaint in this respect is undoubt-
eddy true. However, the railroads
| can face such an inquiry with clear
conscience-for an exhaustive inves-
| tigation conducted by the Lehigh
Valley Railroad some time ago shows
that the farmer gets SO cents out
of the average dollars worth of
products he sells: the packers, local
Ishippers, distributors and retailers
get A " cents between them; while
the railroads receive only cents, or
one-twentieth Of the dollar, for the
transportation services they render.
So, too, there has been steady ad-
vance in practically the entire realm
OF merchandise and manufactured
products, whatever their nature, and
the ever increasing toll in the cost of
labor, steel products, lumber, cars,
locomotives, and other supplies has
levied tribute of untold millions up
On the railroads, which have not only
been forbidden to increase their
rates, but, on the contrary, in many
| instances, compelled to lower them.

Other Increased Costs.

But there are many other items
which have enormously increased the
cost of railroad operation which we
cannot go into because of lack OF
space. The public is constantly de-
handing a more efficient and a safer
service, and hence the railroads have
had to spend vast sums in installing
block signals, steel passenger cars,
doing away with grade crossings,
Strengthening lines, heavier locOmo-
tives, better roadbeds, and supply
ing many other precautions protect
ing both their operatives and the
pubic-all things very necessary, yet
very costly. So, too, numerous states
have passed Full Crew. laws which,
without benefiting the public, have
compelled the railroads to pay a toll
of millions to useless employees.
Now. while labor, farm products,
merchandise and manufactures and
supplies of all kinds have steadily in
creased in price, the railroads as stat
ed before, have been compelled to
reduce their rates in the face of this
avalanche of ever-advancing cost OF
that all but the most
powerful lines find themselves in an
exceedingly critical condition is not
to be wondered at. The farmer,
the merchant. the manufacturer and
the laborer justly insist that they
would not be able to get along on the
prices they received ten or fifteen
years ago. How then, can the rail-
roads. which are the largest employ
ers of labor and buyers of material
In the United States, be expected to
exist on less than they received ten
or fifteen years ago? In view Of
these facts, ii Is no wonder that
President Wilson and other patrio-
tic and careful students of the situa-
ton are speaking words OF kindly ad-
monition to the American public, to
the end that the railroads, through
whose giant arteries flows the very
life blood of the nation, may not be

Big Increased Cost of Labor.

To give the reader an exact idea
OF how the cost Of labor has advanced
in the operation of railroads we quote
the following increases in the daily
wage from 1900 to 1914-a period
OF only fourteen years: In the case
OF engineers it increased from 1888
per day to $6.76, or an increase Of
90 Fer cent: firemen from 1921 to
$3.50, or GA per cent; conductors
from 1891 to $4.S3, or As per cent :,
station agents from $1.9S to $2.1S,
or per cent other station men from
$1.62 to $1.90, or II per cent; or
binary trainmen from $197 to $3.50.
or 20 per cent; machinists, from
$2.72 to 1882, or 29 per cent; car
penters from 1921 to $3.50, or 10
Per cent; other shopmen from $193
to $500; or IA per cent; section
foremen from $1.51 to $1S3, or 81
per cent; trackmen from $1.15 to
$1.52, or 80 per cent; telegraph OPP
orators and dispatchers from $2.25
to $2.65, or II per cent. This means
a general average increase in wages
of 80 29-100 per cent-and all other
classes of railroad operatives and EN-
p'Oyees in more or less similar de-
gree. While these advances have
proven great boon to the nearly two
million men employed in the railway
service and increased their capacity
to buy from merchant and farmer,
they have exacted many millions an
nualy from the railroads themselves
all of which made the general pub
lie richer but the roads poorer. In
1900 the railroads paid $1.44 per ton
for coal. Now they pay $1.S1. Then
they paid CSC for ties. Now they
pay SIC

ALEXANDER SPEAKS
 BEFORE HIGH PUPILS
Bank President Urges Students to Cultivate High Ideals, and Heed
 Good Counsel.

s. c. Alexander, president of the Merchants & Planters bank, made a strong and beneficial talk to the students of the high school at the auditorium, at the usual weekly gath
 erns of the students, the faculty and
 the parents.
 MT. Alexander spoke on the sub- ject, Be a Leader," and illustrated his talk with liberal allusions to Bib
 lical characters. He made splendid talk. giving the boys and girls some very good advice in a manner that was interesting as we'll as taking He urged them to be polite. not to
 gossip, to look man straight in the eye. and not to look down upon 8 man who might happen to be not so
 we'll attlred.
 MT. Alexander pointed out that Daniel and Moses were great leaders, and stressed the point that often poor boys, by cultivatine the right habits, by hard work, and by frugal ity. came to be great leaders. being even more successful than rich boys. Atsclom was of royal blood. he re- minded his hearers, yet he was a IalWfe, because or HIS Dau HdDlto. Rehoboam, the wicked king. was a failure in life, because. instead of taking the advice of the older men, the wise men. he followed the advice of tho young men, the men with whom he used to run around uptown at nights" and the ''men with whom he would go joy-riding." Mr. Alex ander pointed to the careers of a number of local men, men personal lv widely known, who have achieved much by dint of cult eatug the right habits, instead of wasti,eg their time and energy at foolish g..lss.

Disastrous Blaze

The most destructive fire in the
history of Deeth, if not in the entire

discovered in the two-story .ho-
tel On Main street, south OF the rail
road track and an alarm was given.
In a few minutes practically all tne
people of the town were gathered OH
the scene, but there was no means OF
fighting the flames except with buck
cts, and tanned by a high wind they
were soon beyond control.
From the MOTEL the fire was soon
communicated to the postoffice and
Mrs. Nicely's store on the west and
the dwelling house on the east. It
then spread to the restaurant and sa-
loon of William Truett, and all of
these buildings were completely de-
stroyed.
The origin OF the FIRE is unknown,
but it is believed to nave started
| through a defective flue or from q
carelessly dropped match.
The loss is variously estimated
from $4,000 to $2O,O00.-Elko Inde-
