Fixing Policy For Railroads

With representatives of 80 other
states that maintain state commits.
sions ]. j. Murphy, chairman and Y.
w. Raish, member Of the South Dak-
ota Railway commission are confer.
ring In Washington, ID. c., in an eff
fort to determine the policy to be
pursued through the country by state
|cammissions in the matter of the regu.
lation and operation Of the railroads.
Many commissioners regard this as
one of the biggest, if not the most i'm
portant question before the country
today. That congress considers it IN
the same light is indicated by the mum
erOus bills presented which offer var
iety of methods for the control OF thu
transportation system of the United
States. The general recognized fact
that these systems today are badly de
moralized since they went under gov.
ernment ownrship, even IL the exact
cause of this may be matter OF some
dispute, has led to much study being
given the immediate problems present
ed to the commissioners for adequate
safeguarding of the public interests
affected by the companies business,in
their respective states.
While there exists a difference Of
opinion among many commissions as
to the best and most practical me-
thods to pursue in the future and the
determination Of this is legally up t7
congress, the conference was called
with the view Of arriving at some de-
gree of unanimity Of policy that
might be recommended to congress
by the commissions. The long and ex
tensive experience of the commissions
in meeting the railroad problems from
various angles, was believed fruitful
for devising some plan that would
prove an aid to the national body Of
lawmakers In again putting the rail-
roads in position where they can
meet satisfactorily the public needs.
While the South Dakota Railway
commission representatives went t.
Washington prepared to compare
notes and without any definite pro.
gram formulated, they do not look
with favor upon the plan proposed by
Attorney Plumb on behalf of the rail-
way brotherhood TOR the nationalist
ton of the roads. They believe, it Il
said. that some plan can be devise j
that will not remove from the commits.
sion as direct representatives of the
public in each state all the power of
regulation and control they now pos.
sess within their own borders. In
formally they have given some thot
tc the Esch-Pomerene bill which an
pears to be meeting with some fayo.
and to plan urged by Senator Cum
minis of Iowa, not yet presented tc
congress, which it is said, appears tt.
be eminently fair and meets the pres
ent needs of the public which have
greatly expanded during the past two
years, without curtailing to any an.
preciable extent, the powers OF the az.
listing regulatory bodies.

JACKIE BAND COMING

1t Is not often that an opportunity
comes to hear United States Naval
Banda real Jackie Band-but such
is to be the good fortune of this city
on Sept. 18th, when band composed
of twenty-five jackies from the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station will be
here with a caravan of motor trucks
known as the National Motor Truck
Development Tour.
From time to time the Jackies
bands from this training station have
participated in home coming celebre-
tions honoring returning soldiers and
sailors, but this is the first time tina.
jackie band has had the opportunity
to go on tour of 5000 miles in
motor trucks, and it is the first tim.
that one. has ever been sent on q
tour through the great farming sec.
tion of the middle west.
Under the direction of Lieut.. F. M
Wilson the band is giving concerts
in the various towns on the route be
ing followed by caravan of pneu.
matte tired motor trucks. These truck;
are making the tour to demonstrate
to the farmers of Illinois, Iowa South
Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and
Wisconsin the practicability of the
motor truck as farm tool.
The band boys are having an en-
joyable time and are attracting a
great deal of attention in all the
towns and cities on the route of
travel. They are typical bunch Of
sailor boys, with all the glow of
youth upon them. And they are from
all the walks in life. Among them are
two boys whose fathers are million
aires.
While this motor truck tour is not
being conducted under official sane,
ton OF the government, yet the gov.
ernment's action is definitely as
signing this band for two months
service with the tour in an indication
of the Importance that is attached tc
the tour. There is hardly any Other
method by which farmers. can spee1
up production and inaugurate econo.
mics in operation, offering the bene-
fits that can be secured through the
use of motor trucks on the farm.
~ is no greater service that q
farmer can perform for his country
right now than to increase farm yields
to the limit. Labor is short and in
some localities, almost impossible to
secure. Yet the farmer must produce
no matter what the conditions.
A. r. kroh, a farmer of Is years
practical experience, who has made a
special study of the uses of the mo.
tor truck on the farm and has used
them in his own work, is with the
tour. He will talk to the farmers OF
this vicinity explaining just how mo-
tor trucks may become valuable farm
tool and will see that demonstrations
are made showing just what can b
done with a truck in farming opera
tions. These demonstrations will be
made in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the local committee
men that have been appointed to boost
the tour here.
There is no desire to boost any
particular type or make of truck, the
entire tour having been conceived
with the idea of rendering the great
est assistance to the farmers by bring
ing their own farm motor trucks
with which to make practical demon.

Suffrage Work in the States.

The National Woman Suffrage As
ISOLATION has already begun the cam
paign for the ratification of the
Anthony amendment, adopted by the
Senate the other day. 1t has started
work in those states where the legis-
latures are now in session and hopes
before the first Of July. Efforts are
being directed in other states for the
calling of special sessions, now if
possible, and later in the year other
wise, for the same purpose. There are
enough matters of importance always
pending in state between sessions to
furnish foundation for an extra session
call if the governor is favorable, and
several such extraordinary meetings
may be expected before the close of
1919. The women engaged in this
campaign are active and are, moreover,
well informed on political conditions
in the states, and much is to be expect
ed of their endeavors. With the women
enfranchised, to some degree in
twenty eight of the states it may be
assumed that at least that number will
vote for ratification without question.
There remain, therefore, only eight
additional states to be induced to
ratify the amendment. The women
are not to be denied their victory. The
only question is whether they will gain
it in season for the 1920 election. The
fact that the association opposed to
suffrage has publicly thrown up the
sponge is to be accepted as a token
of the triumph that is eventually, and
perhaps very soon, to be scored.

Move Quickly for More Water!

Nothing can be moro obvious than
that some measure for the immediate
increase of the water supply must be
adopted this summer, else the capital
will in another year, if it is not this
year, be brought to the point of acute
suffering for lack Of water. Already
the point Of safe daily consumption
has been passed this week, with a maxi
nsata Of II 100000 gallons, as against
. safe capacity of $4,000, 900. Hotter
weather is certain to come during the
season, and there is NO relief in sight
within six months, at the lowest esti-
mate Of time necessary for the en-
largement Of the supply.
Attention has been officially given
10 two projects for the relief Of this
emergency, one submitted by Sanitary
Engineer Phillips and the other In
very similar terms by Gen. Marshall
M. Phillips estimates six months as
necessary for the enlargement Of the
Dalecariia reservoir and Gen. MarshaH
sayA one year. Neither Of the other
projects for the permanent increase Of
