TWO CARS OF COAL
 ARE CONF|SCATED
Mayer Smith Called Special Meeting of Council to Take Action to Relieve Fuel Situati0n-Fuel
 Administrators Orders.

Mayor Ira o. Smith called a spe- ciaI meeting of the city council this morning to consider the crisis in the fuel situation in Mena. It was found that dozens of families were out of fuel and no immediate pros pect of getting either wood or coal, many more were borrowing from their neighbors, but it was evident that the neighbors' supply would soon be exhausted, too. It had been learned that two car loads of coal had been on the side track in Mena for several days, one being enroute to Shreveport and the other to Ash down, both having been set out here because of hot boxes. The council authorized the Mayor to be- gin proceedings to confiscate the coal, and to look after the sale and deliv- cry of the same to those most ur- gently in need.
 After consultation with the Coun- ty Fuel Administrators. the follow ing order was prepared:
 State of Arkansas, County of Polk:
 To Conductor J. P. Roberts. Train No. 3f.
 You are hereby ordered and you are demanded to spot for the city of Mena coal car No. 5023 Fort Smith and Western railway and car No. 27,735 Kansas City Southern railway, same having been consigned to Ash down. Ark. and Shreveport, La, re- spectively, both of said cars having been seized and confiscated for the use of the fuel sufferers of Mena, Ark. Done by the authority of the United States Fuel Administration Committee and the Mayor of said city of Mena, this, January 2f, 1918.

 Ira. O. Smith, Mayor.
 Mayor Smith has arranged with Henry Christy to take charge of the delivery of the coal as soon as the ears are spotted. and he, or any one in his employ as driver is authorized by the city to collect for the same at the time of delivery. The price will be tho cost of the coal plus the cost of delivery. which will be approxi- mately s7.i0 per ton plus the cost of delivery. tho the exact cost of the coal cannot be ascertained until an invoice is secured. Persons buying this coal are asked to be prepared to pay the persons making the deliv- cry to save the cost of collection.

M ADOO EXPLAINS
 RAILROAD STATUS
Told Senate Committee That fife Re- lieves Roads Should Be Returned to Owners After Peace
 Comes.

Washington, Jan. 2i-Director General McAdoo told the Senate in- terstate commerce committee today that he thought the government should retain operation of the rail- roads for some time after peace comes and not return them to pri- vate ownership until new and com- prehensive laws had been enacted to govern them.
 Director McAdoo denied that he had anything to do with the fuel restriction order He said he ap- proved of the order and thought it would be very beneficial.
 A Time for Readjustment.
 Tt should be borne in mind,p said Mir. McAdoo, that by the end of the war the public and shippers will be accustomed to dealing with the gov- ernment and l am convinced that a thorough time should be given at the end of the war before the rail- roads are turned back to their own ers."
 An entirely new situation would be faced when peace came that would have to be met by new and comprehensive laws, and that it would be injurious to the stock holders to throw the railroads back into private operation without first adopting comprehensive and ra- tional legislation This, he thought, would take time.
 Do you personally believe in gov ernment ownership?' asked Sena- tor Watson.
 Some Government Control.
 No replied Mir. McAdoo, but I do believe it would be impossible to turn the roads back to their own CTS under exactly the same system by which they were operated when the government took them over. There must be some form of gov- ernment control"
 Senator Watson asked if the rail- roads under the government con- trol, would not continue to operate under their own management except for orders given from time to time by the director general.
 The fundamental principles of operation have been changed by or ders already given" Mr McAdoo said, "and others are in contempa- tion which change entirely the routing of traffic"

The state house ring naturally
hates comparative figures. We will
use only one illustration to show just
what a costly bunch they are to the
tax payers: The present state ad-
ministration requires half as much
money to pay help. salaries. ETC., in
their offices as 1t takes to pay the
whole annual cost of state govern
ment in Kansas. The Kansas
clique formerly cost the tax payers
there as much as the Oklahoma ring,
and this why that state adopted the
