was defective and that it provided a
plan of compensation for the use of
the roads that was neither equitable
among the roads themselves nor fair
to the public But all effort to change
the administration program failed.
Moreover, it is well understood that
the railroad administration has not
handled its business with anything
like the economy which the public has
the right to expect.
In other words, it will not do for the
railroad administration to shield itself
behind the assertion that the troubles
in which it has enmeshed itself are
due to increases in wages and to seek
to make it appear that those who are
criticising the faults of the railroad
administration are opposed to the pay
ment of good wages to the employees.
The truth is that not one of the
men in congress who are giving in
telligent attention to the solution Of
the railroad issue has any other thot
than that the employees of the roads
are to be well paid for their services
not only that, but it is realized that
up-to-date methods in respect of the
treatment accorded labor on the great
transportation systems of the country
must be followed. This is all the more
true because the men in congress who
are going to be responsible for the
new railroad and interstate commerce
legislation fully understand that no
matter what particular formula OF
plan is finally adopted for dealing
with the roads, the old day is past and
gone and the government from this
time forth is to be in closer and
stricter control over transportation
lines than it was in the pre-war days.
With respect to the impression
given out by the railroad administra-
ton that the first three months of the
year was a period when business was
comparatively dull, there is this fact
also to be bourne in mind: That the
tendency of high rates combined with
unsatisfactory service has been to
keep business from the roads. In the
opinion of some experts who have
watched the situation, one sure effect

OF high freight rates, added to unre-
liable service, has been to cause the
public to turn an increasing amount of
its carrying business over to the par
cells post.
Representative Mondell, the new
leader of the house, in speaking to-
day of the manner in which the rail-
roads were running behind, said:
"The> disclosure of the enormous
deficit accenuates the feeling in
congress and on the part of the public
that the roads should be taken out

DON'T TAKE CHANCES

Too much can not be said about the
danger of fire as the dry season APP
proaches. Last year western forests
suffered millions of dollars loss from
fire ravages. Hundreds and thou
sands of acres of grain fields were
destroyed, not to mention millions of
dollars worth of residences and bus
mess property.
One of the priciple dangers to field
and forest used to be throwing Gig
arettes or cigar stubbs from train
windows into the dry grass. There is
now a greater danger in the thou
sands of automobiles passing along
the highway from which a person
flps a cigarette or cigar. Also camp
fires left by persons not familiar with
out door life.
Be careful! Put out fires, see that
no waste is left around your prem

record in the season which just clos

to can, preserve and pickle 1872

the owner.
