Railroad Work Is Likely To
Come to Halt During the War

Whatever may be the outcome Of
the present arrangement, there can
be no question that, for the protec-
ton OF the railway companies in the
country, it was absolutely necessary
Tor the government to come tn the
rescue Of the companies financially
While there will be instances of
saving at the spigot and spending
at the bunghole," such as, reducing
executive salaries $4,000, 900 and in
creaslng the wages Of labor $780,
ooo'ooO, there are many opportuni-
ties for saving awaiting the govern
ment's administration which will 90
some distance toward meeting the
greatly increased cost Of present
aay operation. 1t is to be hoped that
this cost will be passed on to the
public which the railroads serve i'm.
partially and that the realization
will be borne home at last that in
transportation, as elsewhere one
cannot permanently get something
for nothing.
Higher Rates
Are Required
Judged by the experience Of the
operating results during the ner;od
so TAR covered by the government
without an adequate advance in
rates, the government would face a
oencit OF close to $3.50, ,000, 900 for
lts hrst years experiment in rail-
road administration. That such q
burden, If inevitable, should be borne
equltably by the users of the service
tdaa omered rather than be met through
taxes seems obviously. Just and wise.

row money on more favorable terms
than others, and in such cases ef-
fort will undoubtedly be made to
take advantage Of this form of
financing. In other cases advances
will be made from the revolving
fund, which consists not only of the
$5O0,00O,0O0 appropriation by Con-
gress, but also Of any surplus funds
earned by railroads under. govern
ment control above the amount re-
quired to pay their rental compensa-
tion. In this way a surplus earned
by one railroad may be used to pay
for improvements on another rail-
road which could not earn money
for its own improvements.
In still other cases advances may
be made by the War Finance Cor
poration directly to the railroad
corporations, but more likely through
banks. The corporation has just
been organized, and what it's pol
icy is to be in this matter has not
been outlined. How much the rail-
roads may be able to raise by financ-
ing in the usual way probably can
not be ascertained until they actu-
ally try the plan, because private
financing has been so largely sus-
pended on account of government
offerings.
In statement issued some time
ago announcing that approximately
$90,000,000 had already been loaned
to railroads from the revolving
fund John Shelton Williams, the
director of finance, indicated a hope
that railroads would be able to
finance their own requirements to a
large extent as soon as the Liberty
bonds were out of the way, but what
the credit of the railroads is to be
during the period of Federal control
must necessarily depend to large
extent on the manner in which the
government treats them with respect
to their compensation, and. this is
as yet unsettled. While the law
provided in a general way that the
compensation should be based on the
three-year average of net operating
income, the negotiations or the con-
tract are still pending, and the gov
ernment has proposed requirements
which will considerably reduce the
amount Of this net income which
will be at the disposal Of the cor
porations. The government is also
trying to exercise some control over
the net income received by the rail-
roads from their outside operations
which were not taken over by the
government.

Maintaining r. r.
Credit a Big Job

It seems likely that, while the
government took over the railroads
largely for the purpose Of maintain
ing their credit efficiency, it has to
very considerable degree assumed
responsibility for that credit, and is
likely to find before it gets through
that it has'even bigger job on it's
hands than was contemplated.
The most unfortunate feature in
the situation is that, no matter how
much the government may appropri
ate for railroad betterment, it can
not for a long time meet the def
ciencies created by years of i'm
paired credit and inadequate reve-
nues which prevented our transpor-
tation system from growing to meet
the country's needs. 1t is doubly
regrettable that the necessity of
meeting these deficiencies should be
forced upon the country during the
stress of war, when so many other
extraordinary demands are made
upon its capital. This is part of
the price we must pay for our short
sightedness through the years in
which economic considerations were
sacrificed to political expcdiency.

nus Hustad. . young man Of Crook
ston. has been arrested charged
with being . Stacker. He laft here
before the registration Of June s,
1917, for Canada. then quitting

He returned to Sisseton and applied

request was refused and he was
taken into custody. The case has
been reported to the adjutant gem

Stanley Clark, the leader Of the
socialistic party Of Texas has at
last come out and voiced the real
sentiment Of the founders Of his
party. To show just how Stanley
stands, we submit his own words.
Hear him:
The workers ct the carpenters
bench, the farmer in the furrow,
the clerk behind the counter and
the clergyman in the pulpit should
be made to know that the science Of
socialism and the superstition Of
Christianity cannot dwell in the
same brain together. Socialism
teaches the overthrow Of the exist
ing order Of society. Christianity
teaches submission to the powers
that be, Christianity must be de-
stroyed. This can never be accom-
plished by stabbing in the back.
To attack from behind is the act
Of q coward. -. II socialism has
become 50 prostituted that it has
lost its spirit Of revolt against
Christianity q start to the ceme-
terry is in order and socialism
should lead the procession.
Again: 1.-The members Of the
socialist party had as we'll face the
truth ct one time as another-a
Christian in the socialist party is as
driftwood on the bosom Of an intel
lectual stream. Christianity is
q poison for which there is no anti
dote. .... The hope Of Immortality
must be driven from the world.

Moment o. Prayer.

Huron. s. D., October 20, 1918.
To the Chairman Of the County
Council as Addressed: The South
Dakota council Of defense
thoroughly believe that there is
unlimited power In concerted ef-
fort and thought. We believe
that the great victory that we are
now scoring on the western front
is due largely to the united and
unselflsh support Of the people at
home, for the standard Of the
morale Of the people at home
guarantee the moral Of the SOL
diers at the front.
The South Dakota council OF
defense feel that If the people Of
our state would set aside five to
ten minutes in which they could
all join in an appeal to the su
preme ruler for the increased
success of our soldiers and sail
ors and for the increased patriot
ism and support of the people at
home, that it would aid not only
the people of our state, but our
boys who are now making the su.
preme sacrifice on the battle
fields of Europe.
Now therefore, we ask that
every person in the state of South
Dakota, be eyinning at twelve o.
clock noon on the third day of
November, 1918, bow their heads
for five minutes in silent prayer
thanking Almighty God for the
victorious advances of our Army
together with the Armies of our
associates, and recognizing our
dependence upon the ALL Wise
Providence for guidance in solv-
ing the momentous problems
arising out of this supreme
struggle for the future peace and
security of the world, and that
the people of South Dakota may
be united in a righteous support
of the boys in khaki, so that we
can truGn1ully say tnaC the
morale of our people is 1000;
and further that when the auto
cratic powers of Europe are
thoroughly subdued, that our
boys may be returned to US.
We will ask you, through your
county council. your county
newspapers, and otherwise, to
ask all of the people TO stop
wherever they might be at II
O'Clock noon on the third day OF
November. 1918, and bow their
heads in silent prayer for five
minutes.
Respectfully submitted
