Freight Cars Must 90,

Keep Working.

Excellent results have been ACHE, ed
to date, through the cooperation of the
shippers, the travelling public and the
railroads, in the effort to secure the ut.
most use of all railway equipment dur
ing the war. The Railroads War Board
issues warning, however, that it will be
necessary for all concerned to exert re-
newed efforts, as the abnormal demands
upon the railroads for the movement of
both troops and supplies is constantly
increasing, while the securing of new
equipment is virtually impossible.
From now on, 2. 300 ears day will be
required to carry food and supplies to
the men in military camps, while the
shipment of export supplies for the AL
lies will be doubled. All of this addi-
tional traffic must be moved by the rail-
roads, although they have only 3 per
cent more equipment than they had at
this time last year,

AMENDa.IsENT
is ENDORSED
Frankfort State Journal Prints Strong
Editorial FaVorinJ Adoption OF
CONSTITUTE Amendment And
Pointing Out Its Advantages

The strong resolutions adopted by
the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce
favoring the Constitutional Amend
ment relating to the purchase of tele-
phone lines are meeting with favor
throughout the state. Among other
papers which have endorsed this ac-
ton editorially is the Frankfort State
Journal, which recently published the
following editorial:
"Amcnd The Constitution
"The action of the Chamber of Com
merce, in pledging its efforts to the
adoption OF the Constitutional Amend
ment relating to the purchase of tele-
phone lines, and in calling upon other
commercial bodies to support it, is
both wise and timely.
Two telephone lines in the same
community, each contending for sub
scribers, is a nuisance-an expensive
nuisance-to the public, and has been
too long tolerated When the busy
merchant, farmer or professional man
takes up his telephone, he wants to
talk and talk quickly; and to be told
that the party sought has "the other
line" naturally stirs his resentment.
Two exchanges in the same town
mean that the business and profess
sional man must maintain both, and
this he should not be required to do.
Telephone service should be univer-
sal among telephone users; every tel
ephone user should be able to reach
every other telephone user, over his
own phone.
The present Constitution of Ken
lucky was written when the telephone
business was in its early infancy. and
In it was written that one telephone
company could not acquire by lease
or purchase. the lines of Compel
ing company, with the result that in
every municipality where there have
existed two telephone systems. how
soever much Chamber of Com
merce or a City Council wished to
have only one, they could get rid OF
neither without wrecking one. Both
lines were doomed to continuous exist
ence, in spite of the fact that gener-
ally neither was prosperous. or giving
to the public satisfactory service.
State authorities and local councils
have complete power Of regulation Of
telephone companies.
THE General Assembly adopted the
pending amendment to the Constitu-
ton, permitting one telephone COM
pany to purchase the lines of anoth-
er, provided the City Council and the
State authorities should approve the
purchase: without that approval no
purchase can be made. This amend
ment was passed by the House of Rep
resentatives without dissenting vote,
and by the Senate with only one mega
tive vote. Such vote is an indication
OF the widespread interest in the
amendment and the demand for the
relief II will bring. The public inter-
est is fully protected.
I'VE cannot too highly commend the
Chamber of Commerce in its efforts
to secure the adoption OF this amend
ment by the voters. The State Jour
nal is for the amendment and win add
its efforts to those Of the Chamber OF
Commerce to bring about the adoption.
