Farmers Have Majority
In Stale Legislature

Pierre, Feb. 4.-The legislative man
uals, or red books, are published and
i'm the hands of the members for the
present session, Farmers are in the
majority over any other single occup-
alton. and in the house there are more
tillers of the soil than those who are
not. OF the house hundred and three
members, fifty-seven are shown farm
ers, five of them retired. There arc
nine bankers, seven ranchers and
stockmen, only six lawyers. three
real estate men. seven merchants, two
miners, two educators, one newspaper
man, one auto dealer, one telegrapher,
one music dealer, n tailor, one alb
stracter. one grain dealer, one hotel
man, one lumberman, and n who
classes himself as salesman. From
among the forty-five members of the
senate, there are fourteen farmers, SIX
lawyers. six bankers, five real estate
men,. five stockmen, four merchants,
one newspaper man. one abstracter,
one meat market man., n rancho
and one class as Business man. The
general showing is as usual among the
senate, except that it is frequently the
case that there are enough editors TO
keep each other company; and the
house shows a remarkable scarcity OF
both newspaper men and lawyers. On
the whole, however, old members
coming back and veteran critics WITH
experience in many sessions, are re-
marking on the fact that it is a pretty
intelligent looking clean bunch oil
men, instead of going out in the lob
bies as in days of yore and wondering
why the .otcrs of this state picked
|sup such i bunch of hicks to send To
the legislature.

GOV. OWNERSHIP
DISCUSSED BY Dir.


Washington. Feb. 3.-Director-G Gen
erai Hines testifying before the senate
interstate commerce commission, de-
clared he did not believe in governm't
ownership but in organization of a few
big railway companies subject to close
government supervision.
II do not believe there Is anything
substantial in the arguments that q
five year extension of government OPP
erations would necessarily mean gov
eminent ownershin," Mr.. Hines said.
ct believe there can be a form OF
radically reconstructed private own
ership with such close government
supervision including government rep
resentation on the boards of directors
as will give the public and labor all
the benefits OF government ownership
and al the same time viii preserve
the benefits of private and self inter-
est Initiative and will avoid political
difficulties which perhaps are insepa-
rable from government ownership.
To prevent development Of a COM
prehensive and permanent solution.
Mr.. Hines renewed Mr. McAdoo's re-
commentator for a five year extern
sion of government control and ex-
planned II this was done he believed
Il would be best for all interests con-
cerned TO relinguish government con-
troll without waiting for the expira-
ton of the 81 months period provided
by existing law.
So far as physical operations are
concerned, said the director general
there Is now no emergency which
calls on the government to continue
control of the railroads. He explain
ed that the methods adopted by the
railroad administration during the
war now are open to reconsideration
In the tight of peace conditions.
Five Year Control Argument
Mr.. Hines presented the following
arguments for a five year extension:
II will give advocates of govern
ment ownership full opportunity to
press their views without being in
Huenced by the temporary reactions
against government control.
It will remove the necessity for un-
due haste in solving such a problem
in the future of the railroads;
It will stabilize employment and
wage conditions. permit prosecutions
on a big program of improvements
and extensions. help to lake up the
slack in employment and materials
during the critical period of readjust-
ment;
1t will protect security holders
pending an ultimate solution;
II will minimize the danger of max
ing the railroad question a purely
partisan issue to be considered IN an
illogical manner, in the presidential
election.
On the other hand. Mr.. Hines SAID
that IL this extension we're not made
the roads would be relinguished al
the expiration of the II months

Dear Clyde:
1t has been a long while since !
have written to you as have been
hiking from n place to another since
fighting ceased to get to some place
here we could have a place to live in.
We were upon the front until the last
and got to see the whole show; was
getting pretty well tagged out as |
had been on the go almost continu-
ously since the 26th of September and
hadn't had much rest then We
started on the 26th of September at
$50 a. m. northwest of Verdun at the
little town of Avocourt and were in
the lire until the 18th of October. We
were at a place called Mount Faaucon
when we came out of the line. After
a short rest we went back to the line
to a place called Fleville. which is
near Grandpera. We spent the time
from then until the nth OF November
setting up some projectors, lodging
shells and amusing ourselves as best
we could while under shell fire. The
night of the 31st of October | spent
out in what should have been mo
mans land with a small detachment
setting UP our guns and waiting for

lection of the Divine Providence |

said his prayers and waited for the
time to go over the top or for sonie-
thing to hit him.
We had been in the Chateau Thierry,
st Miheil. Champagne, Argonne ana
Muese drive since last spring but thai
night was the worst any of us a
ever seen. We went over the top at
daylight thru a lot of u own gas
and proceeded on thru Bayonville to
Beaumount where we were on the
Mouse on the 18th of November.
On about the 9Th we started for
ward with one can of salmon and one
package of hard tack. When we got
to Beaumont the next day we found
plenty of vegetables and rabbits, SO
we had lots of things to eat. There
had been about 500 civilians In this
town and they had provided fairly
we'll for the winter.
After we were relieved we started
hiking back for the famous Old city
of vordun where we are now. II TOOK
Ms four hard days hiking to get here

barracks and are quite comfortable
There is a wonderful underground
city below the citadel and some won
