more reason for unions and their
members receiving better treatment
from railroad companies than the
stockholders. He added that the poor
stakeholder, frequently hedged in be-
tween antagonistic legislatures and
organized employees, had a pretty hard
row to hoe, or words to that effect.
IF we can show you that capital
has received more than 10 per cent
on all it has invested in railroads will
you approve the request of the bro
therhoods as to wage 1ncreases?" in
quired Grand Chief Stone.
This seemed to be a facer for Mr..
Trenholm who was apparently in no
spirit to temporize.
II hardly think that such a thing
could be shown" he answered, land
if it could be, do not see how it
would have any bearing on the pres.
ent case"
Mr.. Stones retort was a broad
smile.
my view is that capital is timid
about entering business because it is
not sure of proper return" contin-
ued the witness.
what would you consider an
equitable return to capital?" inquired
the. Grand Chief Engineer.
ooh, six or seven per cent perhaps y
rejoined Mr.. Trenholm. sand you
must remember that this does not
carry any guarantee with it. Capital
in these matters must take all the re.
sponsibilities and all the risk.
think that labor organizations should
take these things into consideration
when they make their requests of the
companies"
"Well, who shall decide just ex'
actly what is equitable?" asked Mr.
| Stone.
I'm this case the board of arbitra.
ton will do that" replied the witness.
Charles Nagel, one of the neutral
arbitrators, expressed himself at this
point, emphasizing the fact that the
railroads in times past had been re-
sponsible for bringing on government
regulation. He also added that the
uncertainty of the venture at present
makes capital timid.
Exhibit 40 was put in by the com.
panies Tuesday and purported to show
the number of passenger trains in
Western service averaging less than
20 miles an hour. 1t was assailed as
inaccurate by Grand Chief Stone on
the ground that mixed trains and way
freight trains were included. Mr..

for the delectation Of the audience.
The last article of the sixteen, ask
ing that engineers and firemen shall
not be required to throw switches or
do tagging was under discussion and
Mr.. Trenholm repeatedly said that
such work was so insignificant that he
believed the firemen, at least, should
occasionally do it. Mr.. Phillips count
cred with the statement that in be-
low-zero weather in midwinter after
fireman has shoveled six or eight tons
of coal if he is obliged to leap from
his cab into the freezing atmosphere
and walk some distance to throw a
switch or wave flag it may be a
menace to his health.
"A fireman is usually clad in under
clothing, overalls and a jumper when
at work in cab and under such con-
ditions do you think it is dangerous
for him to leave the locomotive dur
ing extremely frigid weather and walk
a distance to flag a train?"
Mr.. Trenholm stared at Mr.. Phillips
momentarily, then looked away and
remarking, "Oh. don't think it would
hurt the fireman"
| Probably fifty persons were in the
court room when this incident took
place and a loud guffaw greeted the
statement.

Western railroads was expressed by
Mr.. Trenholm Wednesday and there

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-The Press,
Pulpit and School a Trinity Of
Influence That Must Be
Utilized In Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer NatiOnal Farmers Union
A broad campaign Of publicity on
the subject OF rural life Is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
OF the farmers to the forefront The
front pages Of the metropolitan DAHL
les and echoed In the country press.
but the troubles OF the farmers are
seldom told. except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter OF the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching In
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects In our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly I'M
derstood and Illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press. the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized In every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as we'll
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper. and no home
should be without it. The local paper
Is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
its columns deal with subjects of most
vital importance to local life OF the
community.

FISH NOW LIVE IN SALT LAKE
Part Of Great Inland Sea 10 Reported
70 Be Rapidly Becoming
Fresh.

Damming of the northeastern part
OF Great Salt lake, which is known
locally as Bear River bay, by the
building of the Lucin cutoff of the
Southern Pacific company, has in
less than ten years caused that part
of the saltiest body of water in
America to become entirely fresh, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. The bay, about ten miles
In diameter, was shut off from the
rest with the exception of an outlet
crossed by short trestle, through
which the water could pass into the
lake. Bear river flows into the north
ern part of the bay and this large
source of fresh water has caused a
continual flow of salty water
through the outlet.
Results of the years of gradual
washing are apparent in that fish
now abound in that part of the lake
and waterfowl have made it their
common feeding ground, while in
the main part of the lake nothing
can live. Fred w. Chambers, state
fish and game commissioner for
Utah, has a report from James
Knudson, fish and game warden, to
the effect that there is not a.particle
OF salt to be found in the water, ex-
cept within 100 yards of the outlet,
in the whole Bear River bay. Mr..
Chambers will take immediate steps
to stock the water with fish and to
protect the game fish already there
from being crowded out by the carp.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out OF the
fair than anyone else. The fair to q
city man Is an entertainment; to .
farmer 1t Is education. Let US take q
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at q few Of the points
OF greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers
You are now attending q congress OF
the mental giants in mechanical SCI
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues OF iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
brief period while we live, but II
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm OF science and light q torch OF
progress that will illuminate the path
way Of civilization for future genera
tons. The men who gave us the
o'SAiO' thO uihoCi, lilo COtlOu Blu anu
hundreds Of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time.
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work OF two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll of the
back of humanity
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil I'm mute
applause Of their marvellous achieve
ments.

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by Civ.
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug.
giles OF busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
hristle with the struggle Of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames OF personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
Is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship OF state
In the roadstead Of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying it's
energies to the solution OF problems
affecting the local community. II
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before It a thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems Of
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
nciency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg.

social needs Of the agricultural classes
within It's respective community.

The Power Of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers, and the advertising col.
umns Of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives OF our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries Of life. We need more art. sci
ence and useful facilities on the
farms. and many homes and farms
are we'll balanced in this respect. but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns of
the rural press.
