Williams Knew Main, Has
Faith He'll Be INDICATED

"If someone came 20 me
and said that one OF my
friends had committed MUIR
der the last man l would
think capable of committing
such n crime would be Oscar
Main"
This characterization of the
man accused OF the atrocious muir
der of Fred Swayne at Napavine
was given today by David j. VIII
liams. collector of internal reve-
nue. In Tacoma, who was a frater-
nifty brother OF Main at the Uni
versity of Washington back In
1902.
AT school we respected him
above all as clean thinking man.
lie was n leader In Y. NJ. G. A,

Sane Method Leads
to u. S. Ownership

Some will demand government
ownership NOW, which will help
muddy the waters. The REAL
friends of government ownership
feel that the president is going
about 1t in an orderly way, and
that the quicker congress acts and
gives McAdoo a chance to get re-
suits the surer they will be OF
government ownership.
There may be some confusion
when figures are disclosed, unless
1t Is remembered that while net
operating income has increased,
property investment has also in
creased.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion figures give the property in
vestment June 80, 1913, at SIS,
551-351, 463, while for. June 80,
1917, the property investment is
$17, 362,S90,S14, or almost two
billion dollars more.
Those who favor the presidents
plan say also that the value of a
dollar during the two periods must
also be considered-that is to say,
dollar of net income now isn't
worth as much in the things it will
buy as a dollar was five years ago.

Millions of Waste
Will Be Eliminated

OF course, there will be no solic-
itation of either freight or pas
senger business, and an army of
agents and solicitors will be out of
jobs.
Undoubtedly millions of waste
will be eliminated in many ways.
Ticket and freight offices will
be consolidated and other surplus
age cut out.
That means that if the govern
ment ever turns back the proper
ties to Wall ST., the competitive or
CARNATIONS will have to be built
all over again.
The railroad bankers will
doubtless put up fight to
change the presidents bill so
that the properties will revert
automatically to the old OWN
ers after the war. But the
administration will stand firm
for holding the railroads until
congress by affirmative ac-
ton, decides to give them
back.
Probably the biggest fuss, how
ever, will be made over what the
government will pay the stock
holders.
That can be used to string the
argument along and get things
tangled up, while the various po-
litical experts and presidential
candidates in congress air their
views.

PREPARE
FOR HUN
OFFENSE
Omitted Press Leased wireJ

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan, 10.
American and allied officialdom
Is now convinced the German mill
tary party, firmly entrenched, pro-
poses TO make a west front drive
as its main answer to President
Wilson and Lloyd Georges war
aims.
This is the meaning internation-
al experts interpreted today into
Lloyd Georges warming; and like
wise many saw a very direct con-
neetfon between the west front sit
uation and the hurried Garfield
coal order to help clear transports.
While Chancellor Hertling will
probably make some reply to the
war aims statements everything
received by this government indi-
Gates that there will be no conces-
sions-now.
England's man-power bill Is in
tended to give sufficient men to
offset Germany's temporary add
vantage gained from shifting men
to the west front from the east.
And 1t is framed to offset any Ger
man thought that the allies might
be weakening in their purpose of
going on until their war aims are
possible of accomplishment.
The political offensive will con-
tinue in an effort to sway Russia
and Austria to the allied idea, but
the more important thing
and supplies--will be augmented
to offset the Teuton military
party's plans.
Addition of new men is intend
ed to thwart Germany's dream of
smashing the west front. And IL
she can be hurled back then, Of
ficials believe her tune will change
and her people will no longer
brook the military party's control.
The need for new men is urgent.
however. This is manifest from
Lloyd Georges utterances and
from urgent appeals Of Col. House
to America to speed her sending

There is still another class
left. So far this article has dealt
mostly with the enlisted men. The
officer, too, must be weeded out.
OF course if an officer or a
man commits some crime or
breaks a military regulation there
are courts martial that will see
that he is properly punished and
that the service is rid of him.
However, there are officers
who do not measure up to the
standards set by the powers that
be. They may borrow too much
money. They may not pay their
bills or they talk back to superiors
any one of hundred things.
Then the powers that be see
that the officer comes before a
board of ranking Officers called
"benzine council"
The benzine officers investigate
fully, and if they find that the
man is not of value in the army
then he must leave. He leaves
with honor, but he leaves.
I'VE expect soon to benzine an
officer who is little short of a
genius" said a high officer Of
the division a few days ago.
THE man is a wonder in his
own line, but he can't get along
with the other officers. He is in
constant hot water, and he is more
trouble to us than he is worth

Fair to Owners and
to the Public Also

One of the best-posted authori-
ties on railroads says tt.s of the
plan proposed by President Will
son:
ut is as fair a plan as could
have been devised. 1t is fair alike
to the real owners and to the pub
lie. While there is talk of 1916
and 1917 being fat years, there
have been no real fat years. They
are fatter than 1913, 1914 and
1915, but these years were very
lean years. In fact, the railroad
business has not been an attractive
one for investors for a number of
years.
I'VE will now get at real costs
of operation. Waste Will be elm
mated and real efficiency brought
about. There will be a chance for
the real railroad operators to rise
in their profession on merit rather
than pull. In the end, there will
be fair valuation, and the people
will, no doubt, insist that public
ownership be the final STEP"

Recommendation Is
Not Unreasonable

The interest return on invest
ment for the past five years was as
follows: 1918, sos per cent;
1914, 4.13 per cent; 1915, All
per cent; 1916, 5.S7 per cent;
1917, SCI per cent.
The depression was on in 1918,
and reached the bottom in 1914.
Then things frightened up and the
year ending June 80, 1917, was
the big year. 1915 was a lean
year, and 1916 and 1917 fat years,
.altho the interest return on in
vestment averaged but 5.33 per
cent for the three years.
Considering the fact that the
government, in taking over the
properties, will break up the or
CARNATIONS OF the various rail-
way properties, the president
recommendation is not considered
unreasonable even by those who
think government ownership is in
evitable, and the only solution of
the railway problem.

There are men at Camp Lewis
who never should have donned a
uniform and there are men who
are rated by their officers as poor
soldiers who would be good sol
diers if in some other branch of
the service.
When the national army was
formed, men were drawn from
every stratum of society and Off
GERS from every walk of life.
Consequently there were mis-
takes, and it is easy to under
stand how, in the haste and speed
of mobilization, men were sent
here when they should not have
been, and how when they came
they were sent to one Organiza-
ton when they were best fitted
to serve in another.
Now it is the task OF several
departments of the army to weed
out the undesirable and fit the
round pegs into the round holes
where they belong.
Run Thru Sieve.
Roughly speaking, poor SOL
der is a poor soldier because his
body isn't well; because his mind
isn't we'll or because he is not the
type of a man that good soldiers
are made from.
So the men are being run thru
sieve, as 1t were. By compa-
MES they are being marched to
the base hospital and there skilled
physicians are testing their lungs,
their hearts, their nerves, their
teeth and their minds.
If the tests show that man
has tuberculosis or organic heart
Lesson or a like affliction then it
is certain that he will never be a
good fighter and the doctors rec
ommend his discharge.
He is just so much dead lum-
Der, and so the government, rath-
er than spend money in attempt
ing his cure, send him home with
an honorable discharge.
Some just 'Cussed."
If they find that he has some
minor ailment that is quickly
durable and without which he is
fit for service, they see that he is
properly treated and when cured
is returned to duty.
Each man is inspected by a
specialist and If there is cause
to believe him infected with a
grave disease he is given another
examination and then his case is
acted upon by board composed
of the heads of the sub boards in
charge of the examination. They
recommend his discharge.
So much for the men whose
bodies or minds prevent them
from serving their country asl
cogs in it's fighting machine.
But from time to time men are
found who are lust plain
cussed," as one officer put it.
Their offenses are all minor Of
of them sufficient
to warrant great punishment, but
all of them annoying to the other
LhCh VI thC SOihpohys
Other Causes.
Then the man Is examined by
the mental board and may be dis
charged "for the good of the SER
vice" or Eat the convenience of
the government"
Then there are men who mean
we'll and who do their best but
still fail to make the grade"
Some easier or more agreeable
task is found for them.
The army is not one fixed mold
which all men must fit, but rath-
err a large number Of molds, and
thru censuses taken by the COM
pany officers and missionaries
from headquarters the men are
shifted so that the trades that
they followed In civil life can be
followed in the army.

Especial to The Times. J

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. II.
There are two ways of looking
at the railroad problem, and prob
ably both ways will have their
champions in congress.
The big way is to look at the
situation in general; the little
way, to see il only In detail.
The particular detail that will
raise the most argument in con-
gress will be the compensation
paid to the owners of the railways.
The real owners are not the
Wall st. bankers who have
been controlling manipulate
ing and milking the big rail-
way properties. They con-
trOllcd by getting proxies
from the hundreds OF thou
sands of owners all over the
country.
These bankers are hit the
hardest by President Wilson's
action In taking over the rail-
roads, for IL cuts them out of
the game.
1t also cuts out the operating
OFFICIALS who were mere tools of
the bankers - and incidentally,
gives real railroad operators a
show for their white alley.
Compensation Basis
Cuts Little Figure
The BIG thing about 1t all is
that the government has taken
Over the railroads and will orga-
nize them into ONE national rail
way system.
Whether compensation to stock
holders is based on the average
for the past three, four or five
years, is relatively a small matter.
If the average for the past three
years is taken, as suggested by the
president, the figures are as fol-
lows: Property investment, &c.,
Gil, 463, 06S; net railway operat-
Ing income, 1901 1886 interest
return on investment, 5.33 per
cent.
If the average for the past five
years is taken, these are the fig
ures: Property investment. s1G,-

.PROFITEERING IN ICE
TABOOED THIS SEASON
Increased priocs Must Have Good
Reason and Approval Of the
Food Administration.

With tho first day OF real summer
yesterday came cheering news for
the housewives Of Tulsa from the
national food administration at
Washington to the effect that ice
dealers viii not be permitted TO
profiteer in ice this season.
They will not be permitted to
raise prices unless they can show
mighty good cause. and no increases
will be permitted then until the
manufacturers and dealers file their
proposed raised prices with the state
food administrator, Judge c. b.
Ames. at Oklahoma city.
Judge Ames yesterday notified
Col. c. B. Douglas. county food ad-
ministrator. that any Tulsa ice deal
erss who contemplate raising rates
from those OF last year must first
get the endorsement OF his depart
ment To do this they must flle
that the law department OF the
ones proposed, together with a con
vincing statemeRa that Will JUSTIFY
the increase.
Even then II will rest with the
state administrator as to whether
the increase will be allowed.
Judge Ames stated in his letter
tina the law department of the
United states food administration at
Washington had advised Mr.. Hoover
that the food control act Of last
August applies to ice and Mr.. Hoov-
er has in turn issued an order ef-
fective throughout the country that
prices must be held as last year un-
less the manufacturers and dealers
can show good cause 10 the con-
trary
