RAILWAY LEGISLATION

Ii Present C0Rgress Can't Reach it
TAere Sh6uId be an Extra Session.
CHAIRMAN Newlands of the senate
interstate commerce COMMITTEES and OF
the joint congressional committee in
Vestlgatlng railroad problems an
nounces that If Congress could not
md time at this session to pass rail
road bills suggested by the President.
the subject should be dealt with at an
extra session of Congress. The sena-
tor also stated that the joint investi-
eating committee had, determined to
ask Congress to extend it's life until
January l, 1918, to ask for the reten-
tlon on the committee of Representa-
tive Cullop of Indiana, who leaves
Congress March 4 and to seek an in
crease in the appropriation for ex-
penses from $4,000 to $4,000.
The joint committee decided to ask
years extension because the time
of the present session is so limited
Referring to pending railroad bills,
which provide for investigation of rail-
road disputes and would empower tho
PRESIDENT to take over the railroads,
telephone and telegraph lines ntime
of military necessity, Senator New
lands declared they should be acted
on as soon as possible.
Il. observe that there is a tendency
to refer to the measure recommended
by the president as a compulsory ar
oltrat1on BILL" said Mr.. Newlands.
This is misnomer and should be
corrected. No measure for compuI-
sorry arbitration is proposed The leg
1slation desired is an amendment to
the mediation and Cancellation act pro-
vlding that where mediation and con
Citation have failed there shall be an
investigation of the facts by a govern
ment commission appointed by the
President, instructed to report within
80 days, accompanied by stay of the
power of strike or lockout during the
period of investigation and for 80 days
thereafter"

CERTAINLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Some of the editors of the state are
wondering If a man can be elected to
the governors chair who can please
all the people. Certainly not Meth
er can you elect a county commission
er who can please all the people of
the county. Neither can you elect a
president who can please all the pco-
pie.
But what is worse you can not elect
a Democrat who can please all the
Democrats. You can not elect Re-
publican who can please all Republi-
cans.
But worse vet, you can not even
nominate any of those officers who
will suit all Democrats rs the nom
inee. You can not nominate Re
publican who will be satisfactory to
all Republicans.
Strange, is il? Guess not! Al
ways was that wayl Happy should
be the governor who can please
good majority OF the people, Happy
should be the president who can
please a majority of the American
people.
1t is no particular discredit to any
governor or president to be able to
displease those few Of our people

MOTOR CLUB ORGANIZED.

Over at Pagosa Springs the auto
SITS and others are getting busy il
he way of organization. They re-
'lize that as individuals they have
out little influence. They also re-
'lize that when organized they car
accomplish much for the good of the
Whole community. Pagosa Springs
>eople are all right. They mean to be
light up to the latest there is in tht
market for progressive people.
Recently they organized motor
'lub with the avowed purpose of help.
ng to build the San Juan country
They realize that when the new
highway is open for travel that Pa
sosa will reap many benefits from
travel that she is not now reaping.
When the eastern tourist comes out

FORK of the San Juan that he will
pass thru Pagosa and that he will be
ready to recruit and rest up, take
n the scenes and look the country
over for pleasure and business.
They are doing just what the auto
'sts all over the San Juan should do.
When all the towns and communities
ire organized it is easy to work to-
gether for the whole San Juan. It is
to be hoped that by the time our
celebration is held in July that there
will be Motor club organizations in
every community and if possible in
every town.
