FARM LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
ORGANIZED IN CHELAN CO.
Efforts Under Way to Organize In
WenatChee, Cashmere, Peshastin
and Other Points

The new farm loac banks provided
for by the present congress expect to
be ready for business shortly after the
first OF the year. The people Of Spokane
hope to secure one oil the district
banks. This has, however, not been
settled. In the meantime the first steps
are being taken to organize farm loan
associations. Farmers are meeting TO
gether to study the plans and
familiarize them selves with the
details so that as soon as the
government is ready to open the dis
trict banks the associations will be
ready to perfect their loan organizations.
The ranchers OF east Wenatchee
have held several meetings. Farmers
in the vicinity OF Cashmere have also
had several meetings with view TO
perfecting an organization. There has
also been talk of organizing a loan
association among the ranchers in the
vicinity of Peshastin.
After the above was put in type the
information was given out that Spokane
had secured the location Of the
regional farm loan bank for the north
west, composed OF the states OF
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and
Montana, and will be known as Regional
Bank No. II. The bank will be
established as soon as suitable quarters
can be secured and corps Of employees
selected. Over 5000 applications have
been fled for positions Already
applications have been coming in BY
the hundreds from people living in the
Spokane district for farm loans, and it
is believed an enormous business will
be done.

approval for an intended sale of 2-year
note by the Southern Pacific, left that
company no alternative but to issue l.
year notes, the result OF this change in
plans being a loss Of 900 to the
Southern Pacific. The Railroad
Commissions OF Kansas and Texas up
on occasion have made their approval
of certain railroad security issues con-
tingent upon the expenditure Of fixed
proportion Of the proceeds within their
respective borders. Recently, the New
York Central-which has only total
right-of-way in Illinois of 142 miles,
although it operates 6,034 miles of first
track was taxed 100000 by the state
of Illinois as condition precedent to
its approval of an intended financing.
During a recent hearing before the
Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce, in the Shepard bill to
abolish the doctrine of the Shreveport
case, the question Of state discrimi-
nations was emphasized. While
Louisiana was protesting against this
bill, kilograms Of protest from St. Louis
and Kansas City commercial bodies
were received and read. St. Louis
contended that the Shepard bill would
permit Illinois to exclude St. Louis
from the commerce of that State;
Kansas City claimed that it would be
excluded from the markets Of Kansas
and Oklohoma. A Tennessee congress
man appeared and protested that the
bill would enable Arkanasa to exclude
Memphis from its markets. And while
Louisiana was protesting the exclusion
OF its business men from louisiana
markets. While the Virginia Com
mission was complaining before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
against North Carolina for discriminating
rates, its chairman, Judge Prentice was
favoring the adoption of the Shepard
bill before the Senate Committee
referred to.
2,oo1,776 reports Of all kinds were
fled with Federal, State and other
authorities during the year ended June
80, 1915. The Preparation Of these
reports cost the carriers many millions
of dollars.

LAMB-DAVIS LUMBER co.
WILL Do BUSINESS SOON
General Manager Now on the Coast
Everything Points to Action After
Turn of Year

Mr.. Geo. L. Gardner, generel mana
ger of the big lumber company is on
the coast With view Of making
good the statement recently printed in
this paper he is making ten
tative arrangements with machinery
supply houses about the new locomo-
tives and cars that will be required by
the company to carry out its announced
plans Of running the mill night and
day the coming summer. Two addi-
tional engines and between fifty and
onne hundred cars OF all kinds will be
required in the operation Of the Wenat-
chez Valley Northern railway. All
arrangements are being made TO begin
active operations in the woods as early
as weather conditions will permit the
economical conduct Of logging. All
the late methods of logging will be
employed. Instead Of horse drawn
logging wagons motor trucks will be
employed. These trucks will also be
used about the yard in moving lumber.
Those who have made a study OF the
difference in the cost Of horse feed and
gasoline have decided in favor Of gaso-
line.
When Mr.. Gardner returns some def
mite information in regard TO the future
activities Of the company will in all
probability be given out.

PUBLIC SERVICES HEARING
OLYMPIA, JAN. II, 1917
Toll Difference Between Pacific States
Co. and Other Companies Will Be
Investigated

Many complaints have been made to
the State Public Service Commission
the past year about the toll charges
where messages have to go over
connecting lines. We have had
some trouble here growing out Of
the toll charges when messages go
over the Pacific States line which
connects with the Leavenworth Co..
and with the Farmers Company at
Peshastin. 1t has caused some annoy
ance to Leavenworth business men and
the ranchers around Peshasti but just
where the trouble lies We have never
had explained. Following is the circular
sent out by the commission. II our
own matter could be adjusted in some
way so that free communication be-
tween Leavenworth and the residents
OF the Peshastin country might be
arranged it would result in Leavenworth
business men doing more business with
the ianchers of the lower valley:
Office Public Service Commission
Olympia, Dec, 1916.
In view OF the number OF complaints,
some OF them OF a pressing nature, re-
ceived by this Commission from So
called Farmer Line Companies, regard
ing the division of toll revenues be-
tween these companies and the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Company, and
that similar disputes exist between
other telephone companies having
mutual relations, and in view OF the
further fact that schedules Of rates now
exist between the so-called Farmer
Companies and the Pacific Telephone
& Telegraph Company, there being a
sliding scale ranging from $500 to
$500 arranged in ten steps, depend
ing upon the number Of stations
connected, which must result in
schedules frequently changing. which
schedules have for some time been in
abeyance and need investigation.
Now, therefore. a conference will be
held in Olympia, at eleven A. M. on
the 18th day Of January, 1917, between
the Commission and all interested
parties, and their representatives.
This Commission will be pleased at
such conference to hear all such per
sons personally. or by counsel, COM
mittee, or other representatives. and
also to consider all such communications
as those interested may present
concerning the relationship between
the telephone companies operating in
this state relatives to tolls, exchange
and switching service and connections.
Yours truly,
The Public Service Commission Of
Washington.

A communication from Mr.. Whitney,
attorney in the water system suit, was
read and ordered placed on file. He
stated that he felt more confident than
ever Of the favorable outcome OF the
suit. Let US hope his confidence is
not misplaced.
The protest Of S. A. Potter against
w. L. Hale being declared elected
mayor was read and discussed at
some length. It's first contention was
that one of the judges in the Third
ward was not on duty until eleven
o'clock. This referred to Art Frank
lin, who when questioned by the coun-
Gil admitted that he was late, but that
it was only $3.50 when he took his
place on the election board. He also
stated that only five votes were cast
before he appeared, three of them be-
ing cast by members Of the board.
The next claim was that stickers
were found in the ballot box in the
Third ward that must have come of
the ballots and which should have
been counted for S. A Potter. Mrs.
Eickmeyer, who was one of the board.
and who was present at the council
meeting, said that after the ballots
were all counted the ballot box was
turned upside down and that there
were no stickers there.
In addition to the original protest
Mr.. Potter presented the names OF
eight voters whom he claims voted in
the wrong ward. Council took the
view that the eight voters were en-
titled to a vote somewhere and that the
results would have been the same ii
they had voted in their own ward.
He also claimed that several who
would have voted for him were denied
the right to cast their ballots. AS near
as could be learned just one qualified
voter lost his vote and that was be-
cause he was forced to catch his train
before the board had satisfied them
selves that he was qualified.
AS none of the charges made indi-
Gated any evidence Of fraud council
concluded the reasons set forth were

FEDERAL REGULATION OF
= RAILROADS NECESSARY
Railroad Regulation by So States is
About the Craziest Thing Ever
Read the Record

Railroad legislation" is always a
live topic and railroads are an absolute
necessity to the rapid industrial develop
ment of the west. From this standpoint
the following paragraphs are worth
reading to gain an idea Of why the
railroads are unable at this time to
adequately serve the public; why less
new railroads is being built than tor the
last fifty years; why Congress finally
decided to investigate the whole sub
ject Of railroad regulation with a view
to improving existing conditions and
why it seems necessary to put an end
to dual regulation by the states and
federal government and place regulation
of the railroads exclusively in the hands
OF the federal government.
IS states, by prescribing minimum
movement for freight cars, or by
imposing heavy penalties for delays,
attempt to favor State traffic. 20 states,
regulate hours OF railway service, the
variations running from 10 to 16 hours
day. % states specify headlight
requirements without an approach to
uniformity. IA states have dissimilar
safety appliance acts.
In Al states in 1909, 664 new laws
affecting railroads were enacted. In 40
states in 1911, new railroad laws
totalled 276. Between 1912 and 1915.
upward of 1000 bills affecting railroads
were introduced into Congress and our
several states legislatures, Of which 440
have become laws.
30 states have passed "stuffed-crew"
laws. 81 states, however, refused to
enact such law. 9 attempts IN 8
years have been made to secure Federal
approval for such law, but without
success. The Missouri Legislature
passed a "stuffed-crew" law, but on a
referendum to the voters Of the state,
the law was rejected by vote Of 324,
OBS to 15o, 5o3. ',;stufed-crew" bills
were vetoed by Governors Foss OF
Massachusetts,, Cruce Of Oklahoma,
Hughes and Dix OF New York and
Governor Harmon OF Ohio.
In the fiscal year 1914, 166 railroads.
operating 204,61 miles, reported an
expense of $4,051,533 for compliance
with stufed-crew" legislation. This
amount equals return OF per cent
on $80,000,000 Of capital. These
companies reported total expense OF
S28, 8,703,o83 in consequence Of
legislation regulating operation, equiv
alent to decreasing their basis Of credit
$50, 100000.
Railroad statutes in force in New
York, to the end OF 1906, make up an
octave volume OF 1872 pages and in
Pennsylvania, to the end OF 1907,
more than 700 octave pages. One state
requires cuspidors in passenger cars.
An adjacent state prohibits this
practice. This state is traversed by
carriers passing through the "cuspidor"
state: One state requires screens in the
windows Of passenger cars, and these
cars traverse neighboring state where
screens are forbidden.
1o state have legally asserted their
right to control bond and stock issues

and. doubtless, this number will in
