"A FEAST OR A FAMINE"

For many years past railroads have
been under a ban. Everybody has
taken a whack at them-State legisla-
lures, the Congress, the executive
branch of the Federal government.
Their taxes have been increased and
their ability to earn money has been
restricted in every way. This result
ed in stagnation in new railroad equip
ment and roadbed improvement. More
latterly Congress has told the rail-
roads to pay their employees must re-
ceive and the hours they may work, at
the same time decreasing what rates
they should charge. Between these
two millstones the railroads slowly
were being ground to pieces.
But, had the Interstate Commerce
Commission been empowered to en-
courage the railroads to progress, by
allowing them to charge adequate and
reasonably profitable rates, as needed
equipment would have been purchased
and roadbed improvements made, so
that there would have been none of
the congestion which was witnessed
last year. But all this was denied to
the railroads. What wonder they fail
ed to make good?
Then comes Federal control. Then
everything is reversed. The railroads
are operated as a single unit; their
earnings are to be pooled and distri-
buted on fair basis; dividends are
fixed; the Sherman antitrust act is
chucked into the discard, so far as
railroads are concerned; wages of the
employees are increased 100000, 900
or $400,000,000 and salaries of officers
are reduced. Freight rates are in
creased first fifteen and then twenty
five per cent. Passenger rates are tot
be increased fifty per cent. And ad-
ditional increases in rates, both of
freight and passenger transportation
may be looked for.
Now comes Director General of
Railroads McAdoo with budget of
1887 $751; 1913 for expenditure to in
crease the efficiency of the railroads,
of which $479, $50, 531 is for equipment
and $440,071, 013 is for additions and
tetterments and $18,203,774 is for ex-
tensions. We shall never know what
the railroads under private manage
ment might have accomplished under
all of these revolutionary changes in
respect to competition, pooling, higher
transportation rates and enormous ex-
penditures for improvements. But it
will be intensely interesting to note
what the government accomplishes as
a result of the free hand it has in
the operation of the railroads.
The railroad pauper of a year ago
is the prince of today! All due to the
transfer of control from private to
public hands.-American Economist.

OWOSSO, MICH, MAY 81, 1918.

Every indication points to the re-
nomination Of the present Republican
state officials from Gov. Sleeper down
without contest for any place save
that of auditor general. and as to this
Office there seems to be 80 strong a de-
mand for the denomination and re-
election of Auditor General o. b. Fuller
that it occurs to us the other announced
candidate, Senator Lee Morford, will
heed 1t and gracefully retire long before
the date of the state convention. Such
action on the part of Mr.. Morford will
leave him in q strong position for the
future as has the announcement by
George l.. Lusk that he will not be a
candidate for Secretary of State against
Coleman G. Vaughan. The present
state officers are without exception per
forming their duties in q highly salts
factory manner and their re- election is
well deserved.

REPORT WHEAT RUST
Is Menace to Grain Crop-Hasten
War on Burberry Bushes

East Lansing, May 29.-Michigan
faces a possible outbreak of black
stem rust of wheat this year such as
that which destroyed about $4,000, 900
worth of wheat in 1916. Field men
of M. A. c. are reporting that rust
has been observed within the past few
days in localities as widely separated
as Bay City, Grand Rapids, Benton
Harbor, Montcalm county and Lam
sing, and as far north as Iron Noun
tain, where several cases of infection
have been found. The rust is making
its first appearance upon the leaves
of the common tall barberry, and
from these shrubs is being scattered
to grain fields.
"This widespread presence of rust
on the common barberry means that
our greatly increased acreage may be
endangered if the barberry is not re-
moved" says DR.. G. H. Coons, plant
pathologist for the Experiment Sta
ton of M. A. c.
reports from our scouts show
that the rust already is here. If two
or three damp days should come, to-
gether with hot sultry weather, this
rust will spread like wildfire over the
grain fields, attacking oats, barley,
and rye as well as wheat.
"The most effective way to check
this rust outbreak" says DR.. Coons,
sis to get rid at once of every COM
mon, tall barberry bush in the state,
OF both the green leaf and the purple
leaf varieties" A statewide cam
paign to eradicate these dangerous
bushes has been going on in Michigan
for some time.

A REACTION is COMING

The New York Evening Post, re-
GREETING that the President attempt
ed to set his face against the air
craft investigation by the Senate, ex-
presses the hope that-as a result
of this or other agitation-there will
come "some kind of Congressional
committee or commission, to keep in
touch with the executive departments
and to know what is going on, pre-
cisely as happens in France today"
Two men of vision in Congress
foresaw the need for an agency of
this kind year ago-Senator Views
of Massachusetts and Representative
Madden of Illinois-and they offered
resolutions in the two branches of
Congress to provide for Joint Con-
gressional Committee which would
be the medium through which Con-
gress and the executive departments
would be brought into closer touch.
The President would have none of
it-and, curiously enough, the argu-
ment which he then employed to de-
feat the proposal in the House after
the Senate had adopted it by an i'm
pressive majority, was exactly the
same which he used when attempt
ing, recently, to stifle the aircraft in
vestigation: He said that it would
be reflection upon the administra-
ton and that it would hamper the
executive in the conduct of the war
if anyone should be watching what
was being done. In other words, Mr..
Wilson. then and now. is rar~ous:
not with the nervousness, we hope,
which comes from knowledge of inef-
ficiency, but with the nervousness of
a man who has tackled a job which
is too big for him but which he is
unwilling to acknowledge as such.
Add to this the Presidents intense
egotism and his increasing arrogance
and We have the complete formula for
man who stubbornly resolves to
have his own way, cost what it may
Before the cost to the country has
mounted much higher, however, there
will be a reaction, which may display
itself in the approaching elections or
which may break out in Congress as
a reflex of the popular judgment.
The Senate's resistance to the Presi-
dents insistence is symptomatic
The New York Evening Post may
soon see its desires fulfilled.

n. Newberry's answer In the New

and critics OF the men In the Naval
Reserve.
"oNLv NAVAL RESERVES"
Why does that branch Of the service
attract so many men? Are they draft
dodgers? Do they fear service at the
front In France? Do they seek to
enter q branch which will keep them
near home!
These are the questions which the
military editor Of The Evening Mail
put to Commander Newberry. COM

bent down to read the gilt lettering on

"Only Naval Reserve guys" he
uneered.
1t wasn't the FIRST time the military
editor had seen that sheer. Among
civilians. as we'll as among men in
uniform, the same attitude toward the
reservists has been noticed. SO he
sought out Commander Newberry and
asked for comment.
you say there seems to be q tend
sncy to belittle service in the reserve
force? There Is no reason for It,"
declared Commander Newberry.
Among soldiers and sailors there Is
always Q friendly bantering. Some
times It Is not friendly. But 1t is never
serious.

Berlin. Dec. (via Copenhagen) -
All Germany is passing through an
extraordinary nerve crisis, due to UNI
derfeeding and the strain of the war.
The people are in a state of over
strung excitement. as If the entire
country were hysterical with mental
illness.
Conditions OF the armistice, the fact
that German troops are not permitted
to quit France in orderly fashion and
the general want that afflicts the
people have combined to cause wave
of resentment all over the country,
and resentment is expressed by every
individual.
Nobody seems to understand that
the French are naturally disinclined
to make things easy for the army
which spent more than four years as
Invaders of French soil. The people
here resent the plight of the army
with a seriousness which, should it
grow, will not help the project for d
league of nations.
People Put Faith in Wilson.
Opinion seems to be that President
Wilson, to whom Germany made al j
rect appeal, should have spared the
army and the country from the indig-
mites put upon them. German faith
in the president Is almost pathetic.

Levy, N. NJ Dee 3.--The Influenza
situation in this vicinity Is not inn

reported, and one family has every
member down with the disease. There
have been several deaths at Wagon
Mound in the past week. DR.. Ghorm-
ley Of Colmor, who has charge Of this
territory. has taken up his residence
in Wagon Mound and will remain UNI
til the arrival of DR. Gibbs, the for
mer resident physician, who was called
to the service. 1t Is said the conditions
In the town are so serious that the cit-
liens took steps to have DIR. Gibbs re-
called and that he is expected in two
or three weeks. There is said to be
hardly family in the Mexican settle
ment which has not had one or more
cases of the disease.
The recent eight-inch snow should
have tendency to check the spread
of the malady.
