The fact is, however, that but Is

BY MAX THELEN,
President National Association of

The federal government, through
joint congressional committee, is en-
gagged in an inquiry that may result
in an entire change of relationship
between government and all public
utilities engaged in interstate and
foreign commerce.
This is the Newlands investigation,
suggested by President Wilson.
1t is not confined to railroads alone,
but embraces all public utilities
railroads, telegraph and telephone,
wireless, cable, water carriers and
express companies.
The probe covers not merely reguG
latiOn Of these utilities, but also the
entire matter of government owner
ship and its merits as compared to
government regulation.
Meantime the railroads are further
ing their purpose to take from the
states their regulatory powers and to
break down by sheer oveTwOrk the

pose casting all regulatiYe duties.

the drive against the states.

JERUSALEM AND THE BAGDAD
 RAILROAD DREAM.

With Palestine in the hands of Gen. eral Allenby's sprightly Tommies- sprightly in spite of the climate-it is evident to all who take the trouble to put two and two together that the "From Berlin to Bagdad" railroad dream is seriously interfered with.
 This dream was one of the main in centives for war upon the part of the Teutonic militarists. It will be re- membered that Serbia stood in the way of this railroad line-and Serbia was not on the best of terms with Austria Hungary for generation. It was for this reason that Austria set out to crush the nearest neighbor standing in the way of the hegemony of the world, and the Sarajevo assas- sinations gave the opportunity.
 "Of course, we could never allow our railway to the Far East traverse an ever potential enemy" said one German trade-expansionist-militarist
 But with the British implanted along the route in Palestine, a much more a serious detriment than Serbia ever was will give the Bagdad dream CTS bayonet jab that will wake them up to their folly.

COTTON AND 60 PER CENT.

The other day a conservative news paper not given to the exploitation of destructive criticism" had the fol lowing comment:
 "Many explanations and reasons are given for the great advance in the price of cotton cloth. Among them are the war, increased wages, the high cost of material, of fuel, of operation and so on. But little is said about the tiny item generally hidden away, un- der small heading, in a corner of ar inside page of a newspaper, which tells of one manufacturing compan, in Massachusetts which has just de clared 60 per cent dividend on the common stock.

THE COURSE OF A DOLLAR.

It is easy to visualize the course of dollar saved from waste and in- vested in government bonds or war savings certificates: First, it goes to the government as loan for the war; second, it is expended by the govern ment for food. clothing and ammuni- tion which go directly to gallant sol dier or sailor, whose fighting strength is kept up by the food, whose body is kept warm by the clothing, and whose enemy is hit by the ammunition.

its chickens. Frequently the hen roost was raided by skunk. And al- ways it was one of the prettiest pull {, lets that became the victim. Never did the skunks attack rooster or a full-grown hen.
 It happened that there was in the corner of the Community yard several buildings in which in the course of time Another Flock roasted. This Flock was of Gaudy Plumage. It came to pass that the raids on the Community's valuable Flock became less and less frequent. The minks and the other beasts continued their raids, but it was the Gaudy Flock that was visited. And there was no outcry, be- cause these Birds apparently were fit for no other purpose, seemingly, than to gratify the Appetites of the Beasts. As the Gaudy Flock thus saved the Birds the Community family valued so highly, for long time there was no protest against the Gaudy Flock. The time came, however, when dissen- sion arose in the Community family. There was protest against the tolera- tion longer of the presence of the Gaudy Flock, and the Patriarchs, be- ing appealed to, ordered that the Gaudy Birds should be driven out. And this was done.
 Now, the Beasts were not hunted down-the skunks were tolerated, be- cause few members of the Community family had the courage to take the same measures against the Skunks and other Beasts which they urged against the weak Gaudy Flock. The Beasts appetites were the same as of yore. But the Gaudy Flock being driven away, the Skunks resumed their raids upon the Community's Fine Flock, and again, it was always the young, pretty, gentle birds that were taken. Often the Community would find in the Yard one of the Prize Birds that had been attacked by Skunk. It would be a pitiable sight. The once immaculate Prize Bird would be so soiled that none would have it. It was put out of the hen roost-left to join the Gaudy Flock or die.
 And then the Community family be- gan to wonder if it were not mistake to drive away the Gaudy Flock.
 The moral is to drive out or Reform 1 the Beasts.

throughout the capitol greeted Pfofcs-

sian mission and new ambassador to
the United States, when he told che
house today that Russia rejects any
idea OF a separate peace.
"This statement that Russia has
wanted separate peace is without
foundation of any kind, BahhmetieYf
added. Russia is for tho establish
ment of o firm and lasting peace be-
tween democratic nations.
German autocracy renders such n
peace impossible. 1t is always menace

associates received wild Welcome
when they entered the house chamber.

Bakhmetieff was cheered as heartily
and as spontaneously as was Marshal

the promise that Russia win do her bit

There was an outburst when he start

HEADQUARTERS TO
Be Open TOMORROW
Someone VIII Be Present All
Day al Red Cross to Re-
ceiye SubscriptieAs

Even with all the energy that has
been put in by a large committee Of
workers on the Red Cross war fund, it
became apparent this morning that a
large portion of the citizens of Salem
have not been approached and given op-
portunity to subscribe to the great fund.
This in spite Of the fact that thousands
Of men, women and children are today
wearing the honorable badge which says
81 we Done My Bit. I"
The executive committee therefore
wishes the fact emphasized that con
tributions may be volunteered at any
time at headquarters, there being some
one on hand to receive them. Arrange
ments have been made so that there is
someone on duty tomorrow at headquar-
tiers especially from 10 to IL in the
morning and from 2 to 8 in the after
noon. 1t being Sunday, and most peo-
pie having holiday, tieLes viii be more
time on that day than there has been
any day this week for making such
voluntary contributions.
The reason for such move is two fold;
First of all it is felt that no one who is
able to give even little should be
denied the privilege Of taking a part in
the greatest movement of its sort the
world has ever known. Undoubtedly
many people have waited for the solicit
OF to call, having their minds made up
as to what to give. Secondly, 1t is felt
that Salem must finish the big flag,
and complete her quota, and that this is
matter of concern for everyone who
has the least sense of civic or commun.
ity pride-and this means just about
everyone.
Conservative estimates are that there
is sufficient ground untouched, and q
sufficient number of willing contribut-
ors who have been missed, to paint one
entire red stripe.
Salem has responded nobly and well,
SO far as it has been reached. Will those
who have not been reached appoint
themselves a,eommittee to solicit them
selves for the war funds To do so may
mean the difference between success
and failure for the city. Money will
be brought in in person or checks may
be mailed, made payable TO cred Cross
Campaign Committee " Pledges may
also be made payable any time before
October l, 1917.
