That the San Juan basin needs q
railroad to the south 10 well known BY
all who are acquainted with existing
conditions in this section Of the state,
for it 10 the only feasible way TO get in
and out Of this country. The present
narrow gauge railroad that winds
around over the mountains, was built
TO take care Of the shipping from the
mines and sawmills before there was
any land under cultivation or any farm
er population worth mentioning.
A road to the south would afford
quick transportation from our immense
coal fields to the cost Of Southern Cali.
fornia where it could be used for coal
ing Uncle Sans ships, but that
we need such transportation to assist
in fighting the Japanese or repel in
vasiOn Of our country by any other
foreign power is poor argument for =
railroad and one that will not be looked
upon with favor by our congressman
who are trying to shield our fair land
from the militaryism the jingo. armor-
plate trust and army and navy officer
would thrust upon US. The Japs are
far too wise to start anything with
Uncle Sam, and after the present
European war is over and peace terms
have been agreed upon there will still
SO much jealousy exist that should two
or more nations unite to fight the
United States, other European nations
would take hand and help the United
States.

The Star would like to have every
business in Dolores represented in its
advertising columns. There are sew
eral reasons for this: First, it is an
established fact that advertising pays;
second, the country newspaper is the
best advertising medium you can find;
third, a good newspaper and town of
live advertising business men is the
greatest advertisement a community
can have Call US by phone and we
will come to your place of business and
talk the matter over with you, or call
at The Star office and let us discuss
the matter. No wide-awake business
man is satisfied unless he is getting all

LIKELY TO BE REAPPoINTED
Mr.. Newman's Term q District Com
missioner Expires July, 10.

Oliver p. Newman will complete his
three-year appointment as Commits
sioner of the District of Columbia July
10. No intimation has been given out
from the White House as to the Presi-
dents plans for filling the vacancy,
but in local political circles as well as
among civic workers who are in touch
with the Presidents policies regarding
the District the belief obtains that Mr..
Newman will be reappointed. The
chief executive stood firmly behind Mr..
Newman when he defended in court
his right to hold the ONCE and has
since conferred with him frequently at
the White House concerning civic re-
forms instituted by the Board of Com
missioners.
Mr.. Newman is president Of the board
and took an active part in the organiza-
ton of the public utilities commission.
which is now in the midst of estab-
fishing valuations on the properties of
local public service corporations with
the view of later adjusting rates on
the basis of the valuations. 1t Is be-
lieved that. II for no other reason, the
President would be inclined to reap
point Mr.. Newman in order that the
commission might not be denied his
services at this. important stage in its
work.

New York had the craftsmanship of the
committee on ways and means for
many years in the person of the late
Serene e. Payne. MIR. Fairchild sue
ceeded Mr. Payne on that committee.
and in the next Congress he will. no
doubt, be reappointed to that commit
tee. / do not believe any other New
York member could count on securing
that no new member, should one come
in the place of Mr.. Fairchild, could by
any possibility secure such an impor-
tant committee assignment.
"New York Has Vital Interest"
with republican Congress there
will be an urgent demand for the re-
vision Of the tariff on protection lines.
New York has a vital interest in such
a revision touching its manufactures
and its agricultural interests.
New York republicans will be very
insistent ON having place on the COM
mittee on ways and means in the next
Congress. The surest way for them to
secure such an assignment will be by
the reelection of MIR. Fairchild, who
is now on the job and has the sup
port of all presidents of all political
parties for reappointment to the place.

friendship, / should want to see Mr..
