BRIGHTER PROSPECTS FOR RAILROADS

\ marked effect on business sentiment Is re
ported as having followed the recent ruling of
the interstate commerce commission on rail
road freight rates. In his latest letter Oh finan
cial conditions, Banker Henry CIews says
"The Interstate Commerce Commission de-
ciSion granting the ) per cent increase in rates
on Eastern roads, with the exceptions specified
will have far-reaching moral effect The ex-
ceptions include rail-lake- and-ral and rail and
lake rates; also the rates on bituminous coal
and coke. Anthracite coal and iron ore and
rates held by unexpired orders of the Commits
sion are likewise excepted. Confidence will re-
ceive a new stimulus. 1t marks a change of
attitude of the commission toward the railroads
that cannot but be beneficial. Railroad credit
will be strengthened and the roads will be able
to make more definite plans for their future.
1t is said the earnings ofthe roads will be in
creased about 40 to so millions This is not a
large sum, relatively considered; but the action
of the commission is quite sufficient to check
distrust and inspire confidence. One effect of
the decision will be to create more hopeful
feeling in the steel industry, of which the rail
roads are the best customers; and it may be
hoped that their action will avert the proposed
reduction of wages in that industry The eff
feet upon the stock market was naturally en-
although some caution was observed
until the results could be more definitely meas
ured. The decision will also have a stmulat
ing effect upon business in general, and will
aid to counteract the depressing influences Of
the war; > .

The prompt response Of physicians and the
availability of pumotor at Waikiki beacl
saved two lives yesterday.
TO say that the puImOtor is a very necessary
apparatus to have at the beach bathing resorts
is now to repeat truism. it, usefulness has
repeatedly been demonstrated.
Steps should be taken by the city if neces
sary to see that more pulmotorS are installed
at the beach and there should be one at the 20
lice station SO that it could be carried out by the
police ambulance on such cases as those I'M
fortunate ones of New Years Day. As a

THE WAR IN CONGRESS.

Anent the very interesting discus
sion going on in Congress at the pres
ent time on a bill seeking to forbid
all shipments to belligerents, the
speech of Dr. Bartholdt, we'll known
in Hawaii, made on December : 16
1914, is interesting. Bartholdt, LobeCk
and Vollmer, all members of the
house, had been accused by an arti'
Gle in the New York Sun OF acting in
reality as agents of the German gov
eminent in Congress. DR.. Bartholdt
in no uncertain terms flayed the au-
thor of the rumor. His speech was
quite a long one, delivered under the
question of personal privilege. We
quote but one paragraph of it, mere
ly for the purpose of showing that
there is more or less feeling in Con-
gress over the war:
Mr.. Speaker, during my long SER
vice in this house l have heard read
from the clerks desk many an accu-
sation against members of this body,
but none more serious than the one
just reported The gentleman from
Iowa (Mr Vollmer) the gentleman
from Nebraska (Mr. Lobeck) and my
self are practically charged with high
treason against the government of the
United States by the unequivocal as
sertion that I'VE are acting as agents
of the German government in Con-
gress." My colleagues will no doubt
speak for themselves, though we all
could probably well afford to leave
the whole matter, without saying an
other word, to the, judgment of the
house and the country, considering
the fact that the charge emanates
from the New York spokesman of a
foreign belligerent government which,
according to reports, would be at it's
ropes end but for the contrabard sup
plies it received from the United
States Certainly l shall not distin-
guish the libel with an affirmation Of
loyalty to my country in body OF
which | have had the honor of being
member for % years, and which knows
my record; no matter how humble, to
be an open book II is true l am an
American citizen of German birth, but
this means. if | do not differ from all
American Germans, that | am man
who is loyal to the Stars and Stripes,
and who is for America against Eng
land, for America against Germany,
for America against the world. In
deed. if the Star-Spangled Banner is
not my flag, then have no flag. But
true to my bride, i shall not be faith
less to my mother, and you would
have a right to despise me if I were.
Therefore, as the United States is
not an English dependency. II can re-
concile it with my Americanism to
give my sympathy to the fatherland
just as we'll as 50 many newspaper
editors evidently reconcile their Am.
ericanism with the open espousal OF
the cause of the allies. But this SYM
pathy has no more to do with the gov
eminent of Germany than with the
government of Siam. Lord Shaftes-
bury once said that the human heart
cannot possibly be neutral, that it con-
stantly takes part, one way or the
other. However that may, be. it is a
mans private affair In my capacity
as a representative have never yet
given utterance To an unneutral word,
nor have | done an unneutral act.

the provision with regard to mileage:
and it ought to, until the day arrives
when we are brave enough and honest
enough with the country and ourselves
to bring before this house a bill from
committee that has thoroughly in
,vestigated the subject and thoroughly
digested il, fixing the mileage OF mem
bers. Why, we all know that when
this bill is enacted into law the mile
age will be 20 cents mile. lrrespec-
tive OF what this house does today,
and it seems to me that it is folly for
which the members of the house ought
to be condemned, when session after
session they bring up this question in
this way. especially at short session
of Congress. Everybody, at least on
this side Of the house. wants TO aid
in eNpeditihg legislation through Con
gresS in order that there may be. no
special session. To take up the tt1e
of the house with propositions Of this
kind is, it seems to me. ineXcusable.

more time of the committee discuss
ing the subject. | yield the remain

Illinois.

sion, in the stereOtyped words, and

Whether such was or was not the mavor's
intention now makes little difference The fact
at any rate is that the incoming mayor is
placed at a distinct disadvantage. Under
ordinary and logical procedure, he himself
should have the naming of the new commission.
For Mayor Fern to say that he had to make
the appointments on or before january / is
idle; If he had made no appointments, the
present commissioners would have held office
until Mayor Lane, coming into the executive
chair on January 4, made his own selections.
As the commission stands, it will hold office
during the term. of mayor who has had
nothing to say regarding the appointments.
The commission may or may not be acceptable
to Mayor Lane. The point is that the outgoing
mayor did not appoint, .the incoming mayor s
selections. And Lane is placed in position
where he cannot object to this situation with
out being accused of personal dislike for the
commissioners. As two of them are active
Republicans, an objection from Lane would
It was pretty political play for Fern to
make and he made it well. He is not to be
blamed for it. His calibre as a mayor has been
measured by just that sort of politics.
But the two Republican commissioners need

fact, they should not

The legislative act which provides for the
appointment of the police and fire civil service
commission clearly recognizes that the mayor
has the appointment of the commissioners,
that the personnel of tile commission is subject
to his wishes. Mayor Lane has not yet ac-
ceeded to office Unless and until his official
acts prove otherwise he is to be regarded as a
competent mayor. 1t is no more than common
justice that his hands should be left free unless
it is definitely shown that his discretion in
appointments is not to be trusted.

PUBLICITY. OF ENDORSEMENTS
FOR JUDICIAL POSITIONS.

The Congressional Record OF Deem
Der 9th, in 50 far rs the debate as 10
an additional Judge for die southern
district ot.EGeorgia il concerned. is
an interesting illustration Of the poll
teal aspect OF certain questions which
arise in Congress. The Democratic
party had declared in the platform
which has become honored by breach
rather than observance that the pres-
dent should make public all endorse
ments made In behalf OF any person
appointed as federal Judge On
/ bill pending IN Congress for the ap-
pointment of an additional federal
judge in Georgia, the minority lead
err, Mann. kindly offered an amend
ment in the words-"That the presi-
dent shall make public all endorse
ments made on behalf of the person
appointed as such district Judge" The
distinguished leader, while processing
his own disbelief in the soundness of
the amendment, quoted from a speech
Of Secretary Of State Bryan, showing
, that the proposed amendment was in
line with Democratic ideas. Mr.. Mann
then said: 80 in order that We know
more ask the opportunity that gen.
tlemen may vote on the amendment
once more" On being asked whether
he had voted for a similar amendment
on previous occasion, Mr. Mann re-
piled: No and | shall not vote for
this one. | hope no one requires me
to make an announcement that am
not in favor Of most of the provisions
of the Democratic platform; that is
one provision | do not favor. Will
gentlemen on the other side repudi
ate it? 1t was no dishonor to me to
repudiate."
And here comes in the politics as
disclosed by the Record The discus
sion was in the committee of the
whole. where no provision is made
for record of votes. There were II
members present in the committee Of
the whole, and AZ voted in favor of
the amendment and 80 against it.
When the amendment itself reached
the house there were but sc who fav-
ored it and 81 were opposed to it. On
the point of no quorum being made,
there was a call of the house, and
finally Mann had placed the house on
record There were 100 in favor of
the amendment and 1903 against it. Its
fate in the senate was still! problem

The proposed amendment is of pc
culiar interest to the people Of Ha

with the Democratic platform, to make
public the endorsements received by
him for appointments to. judgeships

MILEAGE.

! With a regularity equaling changes
of the moon, or defeats of McCand-
less for the delegateship, Congress at
each session has before it the ques-
ton of mileage for it's members. Each
year the. charge is made. that the pres
ent rate of 2Gcents per, mile in travel
ing to and from Washington is graft.
Each session amendments are offered
and temporarily carried. Each ses-
! sion closes with the mileage untouch-
ed.
! The present short session in no eX-
ception. The matter arose as per
schedule on December IS, in a dis
cussion on the legislative. executive
and judiciary appropriation bill.
Amendments to cut the rate to 10
cents and to 5 cents per mile were
, beaten, and finally the same old
amendment, which was first adopted
and then rejected at the last session
was carried. 1t TeadS-"That in lieu
of all. mileage each senator, represent
tdttve, delegate or resident commits
sioner shall be allowed his actual
travelling expenses for himself and the
dependent members OF his family in
coming from and returning to his
home at each session of the Congress-"
There is little doubt but that the
amendment will finally be disposed of
as heretofore. Mr.. Good, of Iowa, re-
marked as follows:
Mr. Chairman, there are some hon
est differences of opinion between
members of the subcommittee that re-
ported this bill on the question Of
mileage. There is absolutely no diff
ference of opinion on what this legis-
native bill will contain when it is sign
ed by the president. so far as the
mileage proposition is concerned. We
all know that this is mere boys play.
At this point Mr.. Barnhart, Demo
cratic war horse from Indiana, inter
Jected the words every year" and
MIR. Good proceeded as follows:

fcrees were engaged with the senate

COMPANY BUYS I'M
 MENSE LOT OF LAND
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.)
 A deal was recently consummated between the Santa Fe Railroad Com pany and the Aubrey Investment Company whereby the latter acquired title to 34,62O acres of railroad graz ing land in the country about Selig- man, the purchase price being ninty- three cents per acre.
 This is the same land on which the Aubrey company has been graz ing some 14,0OO head of sheep for some time past, having the land leased with an option to purchase, which was taken advantage of at the commencement of this year, or a lit tie earlier. The land is mostly foot hill grazing fields, and some of it is said to be rather high, but the large bulk of the same is first-class graz ing land for sheep. It Is the purpose of the company during 1915 to great ly increase the number of its focks.
 The Aubrey Investment Company is the distributor of about as much money in this section of the state as any other corporation, only the United Verde Company and one or two others leading it, and the funds distributed stay at home and circu- 1ota ,,,oc+I,- o,,,or,. +ba -aOD1a oF tI,;c county.
