ACCEPT CONTRACT

Advisory Committee, Rep

/; to the McAdoo Changes
SECURITY HOLDERS BALK
Unsatisfactory and Unaccept-
able" Declare Committees
in Behalf of Owners
New York, Sept. 6.


Acceptance by the railroads Of the
standard form Of contract between the
government and the railroads. as pro-
posed by Director General McAdoo, was
today unanimously recommended by the
railway executives advisory committee,
representing eighty-two railroads. with
B2 per cent of the total mileage of the
United States.
-Fhomas dewitt Cuyler, of Philadel-
phia. chairman of the committee. which
met here today, said in his report:
I'm the opinion of this committee, en-
lightened self-interest and the dictates
Of patriotism alike require the accept
ance of the proposed contract. and the
oommittee without doubt or hesitation so
advises"
All the special committees of the Ma
tional Association of Owners of Rail-
road Securities, in joint meeting here.
decided that the Federal contract with
the railroads, as announced in WASH
1ngton. still Is unsatisfactory and un-
acceptable" and called meeting Of
the associations financial committee of
seventy. to be held in New York next
Wednesday, to determine its future ac-
ton .C
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
association. issued a statement outlining
tnree objections to the contract.
The first, he said. Is that the railroads.
IN advance of any knowledge of the
extent to which their operations are to
be abandoned. or their business and
trafiic diverted, are required to accept
compensation that was intended only
Tor the use of their property and not
for the possible destruction of its value
In the process of unifcation." agreeing
that the Government may return the
physical property, stripped of all busi-
ness and connections"
The second, Mr.. Untermyer said, is
against the provisions that railroads
shall be compelled to finance additions,
improvements, betterments and extern
sions for war and other purposes not
beneficial to the companies, and take
them over after the war ION the basis
| Of the inflated costs of these abnormal
| times"
The third objection is against the pro-
vision that on important questions that
may arise under the contract the rail-
roads are required to accept the deci-
eions Of .he Interstate Commerce Com
mission as final and conclusive, and be
deprived Of their right of appeal to the
courts"

CUT OUT THE BANQUETS.
TMuScatine Journal


An item appearing in the Fond du
Lac Reporter states that "the Office
force Of the council of defense and As
ISOLATION of Commerce gave a six
course banquet in honor Of L. B. Cum
minis. county food administrator, who
leaves soon for the officers training
camp"
Likely Mr.. Cummnis proved a cap
able public servant. Most probably he
exerted telling influence in achiev-
ing gratifying saving Of important
foodstuffs in his field of operation.
Without doubt he was worthy of the
appreciation which his colleagues
sought to express by the banquet given
in his honor.
The incident, however, invites the
suspicion of insincerity on the part of
the food administrator and his asso-
ciates. Six-course banquets have no
place in American life today Not
only do they represent waste but they
lower efficiency. The banquet buzzard
is dead bird the next morning. Not
until an abused system readjusts itself
to an excess can the banquetter retain
his normal capabilities.
The same is true of the fourth
meaP or the night luncheon. Eating
to live and not living to eat is sanity
at all times. 1t is a form of patriotism
today A tendency which should be
curbed is that which invited a feed
every time a disposition develops to
pay compliment or to get something
done.

And now III tell you, for promised in

1t was the Jay Bird who sang this
song. Billy Bunny's friend who owned

between the stars and over the moon.
What did you sing that song for?"
asked the little rabbit, and then the
Jay Bird answered: Because thought
you might like to know where the
cows have gone?'
What do you mean?' asked the old
gentleman rabbit, for what the Jay
Bird said puzzled him, and maybe it
does you, too.
Don't you know that Daddy Long
legs will always tell you which way
the cows have gone" answered the jay
Bird. Hes out in the Pleasant Meadow
now. Go and ask him."
So Uncle Lucky turned the Llcky-

and by and by ne came across OLD

Which way have the cows gone!
asked Billy Bunny. and then the old

itself and here and there near the
banks grew beautiful water lilies And
every night the deer came down to
drink and to eat the broad green lily
pads that lay 50 still upon the water.
And the wafer lNies shut themseivea
up tight for ! guess they were afraid
the deer might eat them, too.
And while the two little rabbits sat
in the Luckymobile and looked over
the lake, two swans. gray one and a
white one, began to fight. And the
great big gray one tapped his wings
until the water sprayed like summer
shower over the lilies. and pretty soon
he held the white swans head under
the water. And the poor white swan
could do nothing. for one of his wings
was broken. And after that the gray
swan SWAN away and left the poor
white swan almost dead among the
reeds.
