SHIPPERS AND PASSENGERS
SHOULD BE CONSULTED

Control of railroad management
by the employees is proposed by an
attorney speaking for the organiza-
ton of railway employees at a hear
ing before the senate committee on
interstate commerce. He would
have the roads owned by the gov
eminent but managed b va board of
directors, one-third of whom would
be appointed by the employees be-
low the grade of appointees, one
third by the appointed employees
and one-third selected by the presi-
dent of the United States. He
would have a certain percent of the
net profits set aside for the govern
ment and the balance divided among
the employees.
In setting forth this plan. the at
torney for the employees overlooks
two things-first, that has been the
plan of operation under government
operation, and, second, there have
been no net profits to divide. While
it is true that Mr. McAdoo, and lat
er, Mr.. Hines, have been the nomi-
nal managers of the railroads of the
country, the organization of the en-
ployees have not noticeably failed to
have their way in any important
particular. They could scarcely
have more complete control than
they had under Mr. McAdoo. And
what was the result? Instead of
having net profits, part of which

SENSATIONAL AlRPlANE
ACTS FOR STATE FAIR

Visitors to the Iowa State Fair this
year will be treated to some of the
most remarkable demonstrations of
flying ever presented In Iowa or any
other state or land.
Thrilling air stunts have not been
lacking at the big Iowa exposition in
other years, put on by Art Smith, the
late Lincoln Beachy and other intrepid
air navigators. But for real hair
lifting, spine-shaking thrills the dem
onstrations at the coming fair will
make those of other days appear as
insipid as tea fight alongside a wild
west show.
The contract with the flyers calls
for everything In the old aviation bag
of tricks and lot of new ones never
presented before. Such stunts as tail
spins. barrel rolls, power spirals, tight
spirals, wing-overs. parachute drops,
and lot of other strange-sounding
maneuvers, not to mention the better
known fancy loops, up-side-down stuff
and all the rest Of it.
The most spectacular work, natural
ly, will be presented at night. Besides
all manner Of trick flying in the
lighter machines a series of aerial bat
ties will be staged, with accessories of
rapid-fire guns, bombs, rockets and
fireworks of various sorts.
These exhibitions will be ultra-sen-
sational, If the term is allowable-so
unusual that language kind o. peters
out when attempting to describe them.
They have to be seen to be appreciat-
ed. To the spectator it seems as If
these men, apparently with such pro-
found contempt for the law of CRAWL
tation, must think vastly more Of a
few dollars than they do of life and
limb. But II is not so. What appears
so terrifying to the spectator is every
day work for them. 1t is their bust
ness and not nearly so reckless as 1t
appears to the man afoOt.
They are experienced in the art of
flying. They have served in Uncle
Sans service, both as instructors In
aviation schools and at the. front.
Hence their work comes as simple and
easy to them as sitting at a desk or
running the lawn mower to the rest
of us.

ARMY SALMON is FOUND
FIT FOR MARKET

M. B. Newman, president of the
Newman Brokerage Co., of On
aha, who was authorized by Quarter
master General Rogers to inspect
and determine whether the $4,000
cans of pink and red salmon, in
storage in a government warehouse
at Omaha was fit for human con-
sumption, has reported the salmon
in good condition and as conse-
quence has effected saving of many
thousands of dollars to the govern
ment. The entire stock of salmon
in question was examined by Mr..
Newman in company with several in
terested individuals Monday.
An acute shortage of this commo-
dity exists in this section of the
country at present and efforts are
being put forth by Mr.. Newman to
obtain the governments consent to
the sale and distribution of the sal
mon in Omaha and adjacent terri
tory
Wholesale grocers have offered to
take over the entire stock at a sub
stantial profit to the government.
Following a report that the 1918
pack, from which the salmon in stor-
age here was taken, was unfit for
consumption, the war department
decided to return the entire stock
to the packers from whom it was
purchased. The return was to be
made through the pure food service
which was to destroy the condemned
salmon.
Mr.. Newman interfered and en-
listed the services of Representative
Jefferis after he had learned of the
governments intention. Mr.. New
mans appointment as examiner OF
the stock came as the result of
conference between Mr.. Jefferis, E,
C. Morse, acting director of sales for
the war department, and Congress-
man Reavis, chairman of the sub
committee of the special committee
now investigating the war depart
ment. Et'.af
AS the return of the salmon
would have involved a great deal of
trouble and probably some financial
loss to the government, Newman's
action has saved the government
this trouble and enables it to sell at
a profit the stock which originally
it would have been forced to dispose
of at a small loss.

WILL BE MANY COUNTY
EXHIBITS AT FAIR THIS YEAR.

Judging from the unusual number of
counties that applied for space to
make an exhibit at the Iowa State
Fair this feature will be far superior
this year to anything of the kind seen
in other years.
Last year, because Of the war and
other conditions, only few counties
found it expedient to undertake an
exhibit at the state fair, only about q
dozen in fact being represented. But
If there was lack of numbers the all
around excellence of the exhibits more
than made up for it. Visitors were i'm
pressed with the showing, especially
visitors from outside the state.
Mr.. John w. Coverdale, erstwhile
head of the county agent work in the
state and now Secretary of the Iowa
Farm Bureau Federation, is assistant
superintendent of this department of
the fair, which, for all who know him
and his work, is sufficient guarantee
of its success.
