BOY SCOUTS COLUMN
Devoted to the Interests of the
Boy Scouts of America in This
Community.

{. . o o {. . g @ 9 o Q 9 o o o 8 (.
The President has found another
purpose for the Boy Scouts. 1t seems
that a large amount of Black Walnut
is wanted by the Government for the
making of gunstocks and aircraft pro-
pellers. There are no large tracts of
Black Walnut timber in this country
at this time. But there are many
isolated trees scattered all over the
country. The boys are asked by the
President to locate these trees and
get the price wanted from the owner
and estimate the amount Of timber
contained in each tree. After the
tree has been removed the boys are
asked to plant trees for each one that
has been cut down. President Wilson
probably realizes that there are none
perhaps more apt to know the loca-
ton of the Walnut trees than the
boys of the community where they
grow. But the writer realizes that it
is certainly testing the patriotism Of
the boys to ask them to aid in destroy
ing these giant forest friends.
Troop No. 3 with Scoutmaster Rev.
J. N. Mackenzie in command, left
Monday evening for their summer
camp at Buffalo Lodge Lake, near
Granville. This is one Of the most
important items in the Scout pro-
gram and is offered the boys not so
much for the sake of the outing as for
the opportunity it offers for training
them to live in the open as well as in
matters of discipline, sanitation and
wholesome living that will best fit
them for their place in the future of
the Republic.
The Scout officials are earnestly
asking the parents for their co-opera-
ton. We believe that you approve of
Scouting or you would not be willing
for your boy to be Scout. We are
giving very literally Of our time to
make the organization as useful as
possible to the boys and to the COM
munity. We ask that you help us by
seeing that nothing trivial interferes
with your boys attendance at the
weekly meetings, nor their work in
connection with the Red Cross or
other tasks which are assigned to the
Scouts by the Government.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
SOON MAY PASS
TO j. S. CONTROL

Washington, March 12.-Govern-
llent control probably will be ex-
tended shorty to the leading ex-
press companies, it was officially in
tinated today at the railroad admin
istration.
Companies that would be affected
are the Adams, American, Wells
Fargo, Great Northern, Southern,
Northern, Canadian, and Western.
Most express companies earnings
last year were far below the record
of the year before and some, notably
the Adams, recorded an actual def
cit in the latter months. Govern
ment operation and compensation
on the basis of the average earnings
for the last three years is sought by
most companies. Since the govern
ment took over the railroads, repre-
sentatives of the companies have
conferred repeatedly with railroad
administration officials, urging that
the government take over their IN
tereSts.
Some decision probably will be
reached within ten days. Action has
been delayed by discussions of the
proper basis OF compensation.
An application of the express conf
panies for 10 per cent increase in
rates is pending before the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

OPINION Is HANDED DOWN
BY JUDGE YOUMANS OF
WESTERN DISTRICT.
COMMISSION OVERRULED
Freight Rate Also Discriminates
Against Interstate Traffic Is In
cluded in Opinion-Five Railroads
Were Plaintiffs

Oklahoma City, March l2.--The
two-cent passenger rate provision
of the Oklahoma state constitution
was permanently enioined today in
an opinion handed down by Judge
Flank A. YoImans, of the United
States district court for the western
di- trict of Arkansas.
An order issued by the Oklahoma
state corporation commission in
which the commission took jurisdic-
ton over freight and passenger rates
within the state also was enjoined
permanently.
The case has been pending in the
United States court since 1909.
In 1916, the plaintiffs filed amend
ed bills challenging certain freight
rate orders By the corporation com
mission. The opinion also sets
as de these freight rate orders.
The Atchispn, Topeka K Santa
fc, the Gull, Colorado x Santa Fe,
the Rock Island, the Frisco, and the
Kansas City Southern railroads were
r aintins in he suit and the state
cororation commission and other
tate officers were named as de
tendants.
The opinion u?holds the conten-
ton of the railroads that the con
stitutional provision for a two-cent
tare is conhs.atory and that such
passenger rate, and rates FOR freight
as fixed by the corporation commis-
sion discriminate against interstate
business of railroads.
There were S,56S printed pages OF
testimony submitted in addition to
between 400 aud 500 exhibits.
