production combined with coal ship
ped to by-product ovens reached 664,-
600 tons during the week. falling off
of approximately $4,000 tons of coke

to pronounced car shortage and the
continued lack of labor to make and

SAYS PEOPLE SHOULD OWN THIS
COUNTRY, NOT RAILROADS
MARSH

For every dollar the Illinois Cen
trail railroad has put into buying land
in Illinois the Illinois Central has
taken out $3.50. That is, l: c. land
has gone up and up in value as more
people have moved in to Illinois and
as more babies have arrived and pop
ulatiOn increased - So today I. G.
land is worth 169 times as much as
it cost.
These figures were quoted last
night by Benjamin G. Marsh, secre-
tary of the Real Preparedness con-
ference, Schiller hall. He said Sta
tistician Ripley and others are au-
thoTity for the statement that total
real estate of the Illinois Central
appraised at $34,OOO,OOO in 1900 is
carried at only 100000 on the
books, such being the original en-
try"
Railroads now calling for higher
freight rates and refusing the de-
mands Of organized workmen got
free from the federal government
millions of acres of land. The jump
IN LneSe lanQ values and the water
ing of stock has made the railroads
values today in the stock market, &C
cOTding to Marsh. He quoted sta
tistics to show that for every $100
paid out by railroad companies
stockholders and bondhoIders get
S74.
eff we are to have a real prepared
ness instead of a fake preparedness
in this country we must first of all
place the ownership of this country
In the hands of the masses of the
people instead of the bankers, finan-
ciers and exploiters who have
grabbed the land" said Marsh. He
quoted from the interstate COM

original investment or SZ5S, UUU,UUU
and the present estimated value of
$3.50, 100000 it has been estimated
the increase in land values amounts
to approximately S15O.OOO 900. We
may agree with the contention Of the
Burlington road that it is no concern
of ours as to. whether these lands
were obtained by private or public
domination in whole or in part, but
a larger question of public concern
is involved-the legal right Of a car
rier to continuously increase rates,
because of the growth of the COM
munity which gives this added value
to the land over which the railroad
runs"
He quoted from H K. Smith, COM
missioner of corporations under
Pres. Taft, to show how mineral and
timber lands running into billion dol
lar values now held by railroads were
gotten by government grants, free
gratis, for nothing, without pay
ment of cash. Smiths report said:
There has been created not only
the framework Of an enormous tim
Der monopoly, but an equally sinister
land concentration in extensive Sec
lions. This involves also a great
wealth in minerals. The Southern
Pacific has 4,318,OOO acres in North
ern California and Western Oregon,
and with the Union Pacific, which
controls it, millions of acres else
where. The Northern Pacific owns -
100000 acres of timber land and
millions more of non-timbered land.
''To timber concentration and to-
land. concentration is added, in our
most important timber section,
closely connected railroad domino
ton. The formidable possibilities of
this combination in the Pacific
Northwest and elsewhere are of the3
gravest public Importance"

Presidential Pointers

In the first four elections fol
president each elector voted for
, two candidates, the one receiv-
ing the largest number of votes
was declared president and the
one who received the next larg-
est number of votes was de-
clared vice president. At the
election of 1904 a president and
vice president were voted for
separately and an amendment
to the Constitution provided
that the president and vice pres
ident could not be elected from
the same state. To insure an
election a candidate for presi-
dent or vice president must have
q majority of all the ELECTORAL
votes cast, otherwise the cleo
tion for president would be
thrown into the house of repre-
sentatlves by state, each state
having one vote, and for vice
president into the senate.

The Presidents S Salary

The salary of the president of
the United States was the cause
of discussion in the first con-
gress, in view of the fact that
the Constitution declared that
the presiden6 should receive
compensation for his service.
Washington had notified his fel-
low citizens that he desired no
salary. The limit suggested in
congress ranged from $l5. 900 to
$4,000. The salary was finally
placed at $4,000 and this re-
mained the compensation until
President Grants second term
(March 3, 1879, when it was in
creased to $685. Chapter 291s
of the laws of the second ses-
sion of the fifty ninth congress,
approved March 4. 1917, appro-
priated for travelling expenses
of the president Of the United
States, to be expended at his
discretion and accounted for by
his certificate solely, $25 900 In
the second session of the sixietf

ing the presidents salary was
again considered, and it was de
cided that the presidents salary
be fixed at $4,000 year.

Should Won Vote?
By A Chesterfield County Woman
Editor The Advertiser:

Editor The Advertiser:
/ was sorry to hote that in
your article favoring woman suf'
frage you failed to reply to some
of the assertions made in the let
ter contributed ON May 25 which
thought deserved some atten.
tion. AS woman am not will
ing that such assertions should
60 uncballenged.
First, there is the statement
that men have improved in NOR
ais and the strong lntimation
that women have deteriorated.
1t is graceously conceded that
men have improved in this re
spect, but this is the first time
we have seen it intimated that
rlen have lifted themselves up
by their own boot straps. We
thought it was just as usually
admitted that woman has had
no small part In this moral i'm
provement of her mate.
Then st. Paul is quoted and
goes unchallenged. All l have
to say to this is that st. Paul
being bachelor could not be
considered good authority on
questions relating to women. If
his teachings had been taken
seriously by the early Christians
the church would have died in
infancy from race suicide for he
says: Il would that all men
were even as T." Where would
the Church now be if all the
early christians had followed his
advice? 1t is significant that
no such words ever fell from the
lips of our Savior.
AS to race suicide in relation
to this movement, it is suffi
clent to quote some figures from
full suffrage states. Let us con-
slider California, perhaps the
state most typical of Am .rican
civilization in it's most advanced
stage.
In the United States Cali
fornia las become the banner
baby state. 1t has the highest
birth rate in the union, and
very low death rate. In Los An
geles the infant death rate is 81
per 1000 births; In Oakland 81
The lowest infant death rate in
the United State, 80, is inSeat-
tie, Wash. Kansas mas reduced
it's infant death rate from 12O to
80 since it adopted a Public
Nursing Association in 1915"
says The Woman Voter for Nav.
1915. California, Washington
and Kansas are all of them equal
suffrage states. The lowest in
FAINT death rate in the world, 81,
is in New Zealand where
women have had full suffrage
since 1898.
The great motive back of the
Woman's Equal Suffrage League
is to improve the conditions in
the home by educating the chill

belive in the naturalization of
the issues which affect, not only
men, but women also. The
great problems of our country
are national. In the matter of
railroads, for example. forty-six
different sets of laws for their
regulation merely check and
handicap their development and
management. A universal Fed
eral law is essential for railroads.
In the same way, the question
of enfranchisemet of women has
become national and demands
Federal action"
Last, but by no means least,
we note that the Methodist
Episcopal Church was commit
ted to woman suffrage on May
23d at it's national convention in
Saratoga, N. Y, through the &C
ceptance of resolution intro
duced by Judge Henry Wade
Rogers, of the United States
circuit court at New York City.
In addition to Judge Rogers,
the resolution was signed by ex-
Governor James F. Hanly of In
diana, Lieutenant-G Governor AL
bert j. Wallace of California,
Chancellor James r. Day Of
Syracuse University, President
A. w. Harris of Northwestern
University, Chicago; President
Samuel Dickie of Albion College,
Albion, Mich. Judge George M.
Spurlock of York, Neb., Justice
John Marshall of the supreme
court of Kansas; President Sam
uel PlantZ of Lawrence College,
Appleton, Wis; Dean L. j. Bir-
ney of the Boston University
School of Theology and other
delegates of prominence.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, in the history of
the Methodist Episcopal Church
women have always been loyal
and faithful workers, and
whereas, we recognize that
Christian wives and mothers
should be given an opportunity
to assist in the great work of in
Producing into politics more of
the true spirit Of practical Chris
tianity, and
Whereas, t h g Methodist
Episcopal Church has always
stood for Justice and righteous
ness in social and political life;
Resolved, therefore, That we
the delegates to the General
Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, assert our be-
lief In the justice and righteous
ness of granting to women the
political franchise.
The act proposed in this re.
solution is an act of justice"
Judge Rogers told the delegates.
I'm my opinion women need the
ballot for the same reason as
men. Women should share in
making the laws that regulate
their lives"
