nv his misunderstood talk about
,iashing railway salaries. lie is after
the unearned salary. And the talk
around the national railway head

bogies OF government ownership has
always been the padded payroll.
Government ownership in France
and Italy meant more jobs, more pay
and less work.
Human nature being much the
same everywhere, there is little doubt
that government ownership would
mean the same in the United States.

HANSEN Of

Edward C. Hansen of Brayton, who
was married last November came to
Audubon this week and insisted on
being placed in Glass / instead of the

that the appeal agent overlooked this

We know several other newly mar
ried men who wished to be placed in
Class 2, or 4, but this is the first
one we have heard of who wished to
be placed in the class to go to the
front, first. Mr.. Hansen certainly de
serves creditable mention for his show
of patriotism, and his wife, relatives
and numberless friends are no doubt
proud of the stand he took in the
matter, which, indeed, they should be

held at the Christian church. We are
holding these services in honor to our
