Union Stock Yards. South Omaha,
Jan. 13.-Another very good run Of
cattle arrived yesterday, about 5000
head. The fat cattle market was very
slow again yesterday and for the most
part prices were weak to shade low
er than Monday, which means they
we're around l5@25c lower than the
latter part of last week. Sellers were
forced to still further shade prices for
cows and heifers and the trade was
slow from start to finish. Inquiry for
veal calves was fair and prices just
about steady. and there was steady
to easier market for bulls, stays, etc.
For the general run Of stock cattle
and feeding steers it was slow, ped
ding market and the trend of values
was lower. Strictly choice to prime
grades were steady and as high ~
$S.65 was paid for fancy Wyoming
steers. Aside from strictly desirable,
feshy grades the market is right
around 15@25c lower than last week
and this also applies to stock COWS and
heifers.

A BAROMETER OF PROSPERITY
1t is an old saying that when
the railroads are prosperous
everybody is prosperous, and
the manner in which their in
come Is discussed. as above ex
planned, tells the reason why.
In short, for years they have
been regarded as the great
business barometer of the Ma
ton. No other industry in the
country employs so many men
as do the railroads, and, fur
thermore, it is high grade o,
labor employed upon as lucra.
tive a basis as obtains in any
other large industry. When
times are good nearly two mil.
lion people, first and last. are
employed by the railroads.
andwhen this vast army is work
ing full time and is contentcd
the millions they pay out for
merchandise and for the living
necessities produced on the
farm cannot help but rave a
tremendous effect upon the
commerce and agriculture of
the county.
But tins is only halt the
story. Aside from the nearly
two million operatives direc;lv
employed by the railroads in
normal times. the hundreds of
thousands of men who work in
the great steel mills, the coal
mires, the lumber industry and
in the big car and locomotive
shops are equally vitality affect
ed. for when the railroads are
making extensive improve
ments and buying heavily of
these supplies it means that
these great industries are rum

railroads are subsisting only
upon absolute necessities it

only working half shift and

has prevailed for some time and

That the five per cent IN
crease G q tied some days ago
by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to certain eastern
railroads has very much
strengthened the plea of the
western lines for an increase in
rates is admitted upon every
hand. If the eastern lines,
where there is a greater density
of tonnage naturally are entit-
led to such an advance-how
much more are the western lines
entitled to it?
In contemplating the crisis
which confronts the railroads
at the present time, and which
was brie fly explained in last
weeks article, it is important
for the reader to realize that
the railroads and the public
face each o'her under radically
changed conditions today from
those which prevailed a few
years ago. The abuses and
scandals which have been aired
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission during recent
months were perpetrated for
the most part under the old re-
gime of a dozen or 80 years ago,
and can never be repeated UNI
der the conditions which now
prevail. On the one hand, the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the different states,
either through their Public Uti-
lily Commissions, Legislatures
or Railway Commissions say
what rates the railroads shall
charge for service. in addition
to'this, a proposal is now pend
ing in Congress to give the gov
eminent the right to investi-
gate all new interstate securi-
ties before they can be placed
upon the market, while similar
authority is already being ex-
ercised within the states by the
different public service COM
missions. This means that the
last vestige Of control over their
finances will have been taken
away from the railroads and
that henceforth their fate will
lie absolutely in the hollow of
the peoples hands. In this con-
nection, we wish to again re-
mind the reader that athe hum
dreds of honest railroad officials
throughout the country men
who have managed their pro
perties without a breath of
scandal or public criticism
should not be condemned be-
cause of the misdeeds of the
few. With an aroused public
conscience on the one hand a d
scores of railroad officials
throughout the country sincere
ly and actively cooperating
with the different pbb|ic author
ties on the other, we can safely
let by cones be by -gones-wipe
the slate, and, with square
deal for he people, the investor
and the railroads alike, "start
over again"
WHERE RAILROAD RECEIPTS GO
In order that the reader may
realize what tremendous fac
tor the railroads are in the
everyday business life of the
nation and what they mean to
its prosperity, we wish to ana
I'VE briefly what becomes of an
average years railroad income.
Just as the idea has prevailed
in the minds of many that the
railroads are owned by few
rich men, so the thought has
also found deep root that they

the public which 60 into the

What The Railroads
Do With Their Income
Why They Are Considered The Great Business
Barometer of The Nation

ed The Great Business
Of The Nation
diately paid OFT to the hundreds
of thousands of men and wo.
men whom they employ in the
conduct of their business. Fer
maintenance of way, equipment
depots, etc, they disbursed
1929, 167, 49l-or almost anothe r
thousand million dollars-and
lin this vast item the reader can
grasp what railroad prosperity
means to the great steel mills,
che lumber and coal industry,
! the big car and locomotive
binding concerns, ard other
sources of railroad supplies. In
taxes they prid out the enor-
NOUS sum Of S129,052,9 1922,
which helped to maintain the
public schools. public highways
and other revenue expenses Of
every state, county and incor-
porated town and city in the
country.
After paving their operating
expenses, the interest on their
funded debt and dividends on
their stock, which averaged
only 428 per cent. the railroads
had left in 1918 a balance Of
1888. 705. 547 with which to make
Improvements and to use rs a
surplus fund for emergencies of
one kind and another. In other
words, after the railroads got
through paying for their labor,
steel coal, lumber, interest,
dividends and other necessary
Iexpenses the above $l83. 900, 600
was all the surplus they had
left for themselves out of an in
come of more than three billion
d o ] al S and this, too. upon
! properties worth the gigantic
sum of twenty billion dollars.
I Furthermore, the lions share of
this surplus was earned by the
stronger roads W b i e such
splendid but weaker lines as
the Wabash didn't earn enough
to paw interest on it's receivers
certificates. Thus il can DE
seen that on the blsis of the
present rates the railroads pay
back to the public in one way
and another almost every dol
lar they receive for the servic
es they render to the people.
BURNING CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS
AS matter of fact, if every
railroad in the country had
charged off proper precent-
age fol- depreciation, instead o.
having had a surplus OF $685.
loco, 600 left IN 1913 they would
have had an actual deficit run
ming into the millions. Some
lof the larger systems have fix
ed yearly depreciation charge
but scores Of the weaker lin
es, in their frantic endeavor to
pay the interest on their debts
and maintain the standing of
their securities, use every dol
lar Of their income to THIS end
and hence one OF the most
alarming phases OF the present
railroad situation is that this
| process of "burning the candle
at both ends" means a deterior.
alton o! rolling stock and road
beds which will render the con
tiuuance of adequate and safe
service for the public impossi
| BILE. In a recent article James
j. Hill. the great Empire
Builder of the North" points
out that American railro ids
should spend at least $500, 900,
1000 annually in improvements
and bette.ment s-a d it is
therefore no exaggeration to
say that rapidly deterioratine
equipment is one Of the ghosts
which haunts hundreds of rail.
road managers throughout the
country at the present hour.

Thousands of the most prominent

brated medicine has been accomplish

more enthusiastic over Tanlac than
Mr. Cooper himself.
"As previously stated, Mr. Cooper
contends that nine-tenths of the disetse
ard ill-health of the average person is
due to a catarrhal condition which
produces faulty digestion and impro-
per assimilation of the food.
In recent interview Mr.. Cooper
was asked if Tanlac would relieve kid
rev trouble, liver complaint, rheuma-
] tism and a dozen other ailments, and
in this connection said:
AS l have repeatedly said. my
medicine acts directly on the mucus
membrane, stomach and blood eXpell-
ing from them the impurities and toxic
roisons. and rendering to them &
strong, healthy condition. l am con
y;nced that the stomach regulates the
condition of the blood, and is the foun
tain-head of health or disease, as thu
case may be. My medicine is intended
primarily for the regulation of thu
stomach and catarrhal Inflammation
