The omission of American signatures
to the note reported above may be very
significant of the policy of the Cnited
States toward Russia.
If President Wilson follows with that
nation the policy he adopted toward
Mexico, it will be that the United States
win not interfere with the working out
of the people S national aspirations, pro-
vided America is not affected in that
process of evolution.
Such an attitude to Rusaia would
mean that the United States would
neither disapprove nor approve of the
Bolsheviki and would permit the Rus
sian people as whole to work out their
own democracy, this government having
full faith in Russia s inherent ability
to save herself.

Safeguards Heath
of The Children

Constipation, or 1naction of the
bowels, is a great menace to.
health. Cathart3c or purgative
remedies should never be given to
children as the violence Of their
action tends to upset the entire
digestive system. A mild laxative
is far preferable, and the conbi-
nation of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin known as DR.. Cald-
Wells Syrup Pepsin, and sold in
drug stores for hfty cents q bot
tie, 1s highly recommended. This
preparation contains no opiate,
narcotic, or habit-forming drug
of any description, is mild and
gentle in its action, and brings
relief in an easy, natural manner.
Its pleasant taste appeals to chill
dren and they take 1t readily.
Thousands of mothers have tes-
tined to the merit of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, and in count
less homes it is the standard FAM
lily remedy. A trial bottle, free
OF charge, can be obtained by
writing to DR.. W. b. Caldwell, 456

, roads must of necessity, not only
build themselves up and keep up to
high standard of efficiency, but
they must build up the sections thru
which they operate. SO IL may be
taken as positive axiom that the
railroads serve best when they are
best served" and conscientious, mu-
tual appreciation and cooperative
action between the railroads, the
public and governing bodies, will re-
suit in the greatest good for the
yre latest number of people.
The oregon Short Line Company
has helped to make the intermoun-
tain west grow from home to realiz-
atom from pioneering discourage
ments to prosperous fruitfulness, and
looking into the future, 1t can safely
be stated that the destiny of Utah
and the intermountain states in the
matter of future growth, commerce.
ally and industrially, is immeasur-
able, so that, what the railroads
have done for Utah and the West
in the past" is but a slight criterion
of what they will do in the future.

WHAT RAILROADS

In considering what the railroads

Sslr0munity, IL is a very simple mat
ter to drift into generalitites by stat

Sore of the very leading causes of
growth and development" in indus

of II is, of course, trite, but to anal

necessary. need only try to conceive

community without railroad facili-
ties; particularly at this time of ma

my subject in expatiating on my
home line, by telling briefly what
the Oregon Short Line means to
Utah, and generally to the inter
mountain country, for, THE Payroll

concerned with the general progress
of its neighborhood, which includes
all of the intermountain states, and
as the Union Pacific System units
are playing no favorites," it is al
most unavoidable not to write COL
lectively of our galaxy of states ra-

tween them. However, speaking of
Utah alone, it may not be out of
place to state here that the Oregon |
Short Line expends annually within |
the state approximately quarter of |
million dollars each year in wages |
and taxes and for materials and sup
plies purchased locally. Speaking
collectively, it is the largest single
industrial enterprise in the five
states it serves, so that IL may truly
be classed as "a big brother among

number Of employees in the five inter-
mountain states it serves approxim-
ate 10000 with a monthly payroll
of about S1,000,000. And, as an ex-
ample of how payrolls are growing,
we may take the case of one recent
month, which shows an increase of
$192,459.77 over the same month in
1916. We may safely estimate that
the total increase in payrolls of this
company for the present calendar
year compared with 1916, will be
close to $2,25O,0OO or over rs per
cent.
Expenditures for materials charg-
ed to operating expenses in 1916
were s4,622,092.65, and estimates
for the year 1917 show s6,794,481.-

$2,5OO.OOO.
A comparison of budget appropri-
atoms for 1916 and 1917 are as
follows:
Additional Betterments, 1916, $2,-
709,O55; 1917, $2,9S9,347.
Equipment, 1916, $7S,O92; 1917
$57O,225.

1917, $555,OOO.
Total Budgets. 1916, $3,O57147;
1917, $4,114,572.
Setting aside the feeling of pre-
judice toward corporations in gener-
al, which seems to have been an
abnormal psychological part of the
average citizens attitude in the past,
believe the present unprecedented
demands brought about by the war
are having the effect of awakening
spirit of cooperation on the part of
the public toward the railroads. more
than any other thing could have had,
and this is bringing about sincere
realization of the fact that the rail-
roads of the land are. the arteries of
