NEW YORK, July 1L-(Wall Street. Additional gains of 1 to 6 points made in today's stock market dealings. with nominal recessions in the last hour on realizing, seemed to originate mainly from technical considerations.

 CHICAGO, July 11.-Newly inStitut- ed war emergency curbs on trading at Kansas City and St Louis. together with prospective additional check on transactions here brought about much nervousness today in the corn market. After breaking all high price records for the season, .quotations closed unsettled at h to 2A net ad- vance with September S1.59A to $1.59A and December $1.21as to S121k Wheat finished half off to a like ad- vance at S2.O3 for July and s1911s for September.

 Wheat swayed with corn but kept within narrow limits. Harvesting of winter wheat was said to be making favorable progress and there also were advices of improvement in the general condition of the spring crop.
 In the oats crowd, the chief influ- ence was the fact that despite numer- ous fluctuations, the corn market aver aged higher Bearish field reports re- garding oats were thus more than counterbalanced

 Railroads are favorably affected by the publication of estimates that the net results of the concessions tv the Eastern railroads in the recent l. C. C.. decision had been underIated.
 Cotton broke about 100 points from Tuesdays high. The weekly wealth CT report was favo.ao.e and predic- tions of rain over night in Texas were the only features.

 Relieve cotton is merely marking time until it takes it's place among other commodities where abnormal conditions have been reflected in ab- normal prices.

UNsALARIED PUBLIC SERVICE

n TANY good citizens in every COM
Wl munity fail to give proper sup
port to those who are engaged
in the peoples business because they
are not in touch with what is trans
piring from day to day. In other
words, they fail to realize that the
government of city like Harrisburg
is similar to that of large cor
poration and that the people them
selves are the stockholders. If they
understood more intimately the vari-
Gus transactions which affect the indi-
Nidual citizen as well as the community
ut large there would be less indiffer-
ence to the selection of officials and
the admirable work of voluntary COM
missions and boards.
For instance, we doubt whether the
large majority of people here have any
proper conception of the important
work that has been done and is being
done by the City Planning Commits
sion. This body is deyoting its energies,
its thought and its time without COM
pensation to outlining plans for the
future Harrisburg which will save to
taxpayers thousands of dollars and
provide a much more attractive and
wholesome city. This commission has
made a study of the general topogra-
ply of Harrisburg and the contiguous
territory with a view to directing the
building development, the plotting of
streets and the building of the future.
Harrisburg has been wonderfully
blessed in high class of unpaid public
service. Many men and women have
given of their time and effort freely
and cheerfully for the benefit of the
whole community. There have been
discouragements, of course, but when
the people get awake they must realize
how important has been this disin-
terested and public spirited service.
But they must realize the necessity of
choosing for their officials men who
have vision of the future and a de-
sire to cooperate in the development
of city that will continue to deserve
the appreciation and plaudits of all
visitors.

THE ASH PROBLEM

TINE ash collection problem has
reached stage where council
must do something to relieve
conditions or admit it's inability to
cope with a situation that is fast be-
coming intolerable.
it will not do for the members of
Council to place all the responsibility
on the Health Department and let it
go at that. Making the goat of a
department, the head of which is dead.
will not be a popular move. The
Health Officer already has his hands
full. The force at his disposal for
the routine work of the office is no
bigger than it was when the city had
population scarcely half as large as
now. Either the health officer should
be provided with more men and suffi
cient money to collect the ashes.
charging the bill up to the contractor.
or his bondsmen, or he should be
relieved of the work shouldered upon
him.
One hundred men are needed for
the work, it is said, but cannot be
procured for the wages offered Then
let the wages be made sufficiently
large to attract the men, for the
situation has reached a stage where
the ashes simply must be collected.
The thing to do is to employ a man
to take charge of the work and give
him money sufficient to hire large auto
trucks and the men to clean up the
city in a short time.
The fear of a lawsuit with bonds
men need not trouble councilmen. The
contractor has not lived up to HIS
agreement and If the bondsmen will
not compel him to do 20 then GER
tainly the city is justified in taking
the situation into its own hands.
1t is not to be supposed that coun-
ell will permit a condition like this to
arise after the expiration of the pres
ent unsatisfactory contract, but the
people cannot wait until next year for
relief. They want 1t now, and Il is
for council TO provide IL or explain
why not. The public ia entirely out

roads have to bear In some States
railroad managers complain that they
nave to spend from n quarter to over
half of their working hours in court
or appearing before various commits
sions. In some States railroad agents
nave been arrested because they
would not accept rates established by
the State Legislature, which had been
enJoined by Federal court. In other
states, in similar circumstances in
dlctments have been brought against
the railroad seeking the injunction.
Alabama reduced rates and thereafter
decreed that any railroad operating in
the State which sought to question in
court proceedings the acts of the Leg
islature or the State Railroad Com
mission should thereupon forfeit its
license to operate in the State.
"One State has solemnly decreed
that there must be cuspidor between
every two seats on passenger trains;
an adjacent State forbids cuspidors
as vulgar and unsanitary. One State
requires screens in the windows of
passenger coaches, and an adjoining
State forbids screens
one byproduct of all this chaotic
regulation has been an increase in ten
years of eighty-seven per cent. in the
number of general office clerks en-
ployed by the railroads and an in
crease of nearly 120 per cent, over
S40,00O,O0O, in the amount of wages
paid to them. During this period the
gross earnings of the roads increased
only fifty per cent. In the fiscal year
of 1915 the railroads were compelled
TO furnish to the National and State
Commission and other bodies over
two million separate reports, and if
duplicates are included, the total is
sWelled to three million.
THE cost of State regulation to the
railroads. to the ghinnars fo tho Y,,,l,
lie generally, is a staggering sum. 1t
runs into hundreds of millions of dol
lars year. The expense of merely
maintaining the various State rail-
road commissions must be close TO
$50, 200, 900 annually"
