ONLY ONE TRAIN DAILY
SWEETWATER TO AMARILLO

Effective Monday Of this week, the
Santa Fe Railroad will run only one
train daily between the towns OF
Amarillo and Sweetwater instead OF
the two trains run in the past. TINS
discard of extra train service between
these two points is necessary IN or
der that a saving Of fuel be made,
and is in order with the railroad ad-
ministration's plans Of fuel saving
during the great strike.
The only train operating between
Lubbock and Sweetwater will arrive
in Lubbock at 1915 a. m, daily leav-
about 1920. The only train from
Sweetwater to Amarillo daily arrives
here at $3.50 a. m.
Il is supposed now that the extra
service accorded to the Seagraves
branch will be taken off during the
fuel famine. As soon as conditions
are adjusted to a normal state the
same service of the past will be re
sumed and possibly more additional.

With a speed that is now charac-

new state bank is being organized
and very shortly will be open for
business.
j. A. Waters, man who has prov
en- his loyalty and worth as state

Bank quarters have been rented

The next steps are to get the ne
cessary banking furniture and to
receive public and private deposits.
Most of the TOO state banks will
probably quit their alliance with the
Twin Cities and line up with the
new state bank as the central place
for keeping reserves.

THEMSELVES THE CHIEF PRO-
MOTERS OF UNREST.
AS Governor Frazier of North Da-
kota pointed out to some eastern
editors recently our great enemy is
bourbonism, that spirit of private
gain at any price which prevents
the country from meeting its new
problems and emergencies.
What clear-thinking citizen has
not been SERIOUSLY ALARMED,
for instance, AT OUR FAILURE TO
CHECK WAR PROFITEERfNG and
later TO PROVIDE FOR RECON
STRUCTION?
The reactionary fears THAI the
hungry and the outraged workers
may become desperate.
The sensible citizens are alarmed
because we are disregarding the
rights Of those classes on whom our
whole industrial structure srests-
the tillers of the soil and the WORK
ers in the factory.
They see our danger In this dis
regard and not in the fact that after
it's results are apparent In the farm
income and the pay check, the work
ers may feel some strenuous remedy
may be necessary.

Alas, the iron in Minnesota's great
war governor has rusted badly these
days. In his message to the legis-
lature he demanded changes in the
primary law which would keep the
farmers and labor men from stealing
his party. The legislature has all
but passed bill which kills the pri-
mary for state officers and so meets
his demand exactly. But that raises
frightful lot of mischief Of anoth-
er kind. He fears the people still
like the primary and do not wish to
go back to the old convention vomit.
So now he has cold feet aid month
after the primary-hlling bill passed
the house declares that it is more
than he had in mind. And now a
whole flock Of machine editors has
assembled in the Capital City to
strengthen his backbone in wrong
doing, or, to carry out our first COM
parison, to put little iron into his

Board. has established $500 a year
as minimum wage for family of
five. Over $3.50 of the adult male

ence were receiving less than S23

were, receiving less than $40 per
week and a quarter of the male
earners were receiving less than SIT
