 We are beginning to appreciate the prophecy of James J. Hill, made in 1907, when he said that American railroads would need to expend at least s1,1O0,0oO,OOO annually on con- struction and Improvements for the succeeding five years if they would completely handle the business of the country. That would have meant spending s5,5OoooO,00O between 1907 and 1912. AS. a matter of fact, less than half that was spent in the ten years between 1906 and 1916, and the cost of road and equipment during that period rose from $12,4OO, 100000 to S17,5O0,000,0 or about 10 per cent Yet despite ihsse serious han

Naturally. the result was an under mining of railway credit and rob- ping of the companies of their only source of funds for increasing their services.
 The increase in the country's popu- latiOn between 1908 and 1916 was a little less than 20 per cent. A core spending increase in commercial and industrial capacity will require pro- portionate increase of ton mileage per capita. To do this we must attract private capital to the railroad field
 This we have not been doing. Since 1890 the rate of return on railroad in vestments has ranged from 335 per cent to 5S3 per cent. In 1917 it was only 5.72 per cent. At the same time the returns on investments in manu- factures averaged as high as TIP per cent in 1900, not considering the un- usual returns yielded by war indus tries during the last two years.

MILK CAMPAIGN HERE
Milk Station Will Conduct Speaking Drive During Week of May 19
 Showing Value of Product.

To teach the value of milk and to encourage it's use more widely in this city both as an economical and a substantial food, a Milk Campaign is to be conducted in New Britain during the week of May 19 and eX- tensive plans for the carrying out of the campaign are being made. Plans were discussed yesterday at a meet ing of the agencies through which the drive is to be worked, at the local office of the milk station.
 While the plans are still in the making, the farm bureau, milk sta t1on and milk producers have out hned some of the first steps of the drive. The plan of these agents is to conduct a speaking drive in the factories and schools and during the week ten-minute talks will be given by representatives of the bureau and milk station daily.
 Those who attended the meeting yesterday were Miss Jeannette Met calf, local representative of home demonstration; Miss D. Buckley, state leader of home demonstration: rep resentatives of the milk dealers and producers, and the Visiting Nurse as- SOCia ton.

DEMOCRATS SHOW
 THEIR PEEVISHNESS
Resign From Town Committee When Gabb Names Republican

l The democratic party in this citv
 or rather eight members of the town committee are up in arms over the appointm ents by Sheriff Gabb, and at a meeting of these eight members last night it was voted to resign from the committee. This action followed the resignation of Thomas J Smith who has been chairman for Inc ,,a st year, and Bernard F. Gaffney, second, as secretary. The resignation of these two officers from the committee was accepted, and John l.. Ross of the fourth ward was named chair man and John r. Leeney secretary. Later in the evening the whole or ganization voted to resign.
 In the yecent appointments of Sheriff Gabb, the name of Myron D Stockwell, a republican, and one of the most efficient deputy sheriffs the city has ever had, was named 1t is around this appointment that .he storm has broken.
 Early in the spring the democratic town committee forwarded to Sheriff GAbb, a resolution asking that demo- crats be named to occupy all ap- pOintiVe berths he had to hand out in this city. Two weeks ago, Sheriff Gabb came to this city. and in the office of Abraham Gorbach, a con- sllltatiOn was held With John l.. Ross and James J. Woods, in regard to the appointments. MT. Ross said to- day that at that time he put the question to Sheriff Gabb. regarding the re-appointment of Deputy Sheriff Stockwell. MT. Ross said that Sheriff Gahb at that time informed those present that MT. Stockweu was not a candidate for the place.
 Some of the members of the ex- democratic town committee who are reported to have attended last nights meeting are: Jams J. Woods, B. r Gaffney, second, John l.. Ross, Patrick Smith, John F. Leeney. John J. Riley and John Pagan. Those re- ported as missing from the meeting are: F.. O. Kilbourn, David L. Dunn. r. F. McDonough and Michael King.

cy toward railroads is such as 10 in. sure fair regulations and just returns, which will be absolutely essential if new capital in sufficient quantity is to be attracted, the development of our great resources in the west, northwest and southwest will be arrested and the retarding of such development will be national economic disaster.
 One vital fact is apparent today above all others-the scepter in the railroad world has passed out of the hands of the railroads executives and the bankers who financed them. The American people control the situation through their political representa- tives, and they will determine the whole course of the future.
 No class of people will exercise so powerful an influence in reaching this decision as the shippers. They must learn, if they have not learned al- ready, that the thing of most vital inn portance to them is getting their goods to market. The rates at which this service is rendered are incidental The long struggle of the shippers to hold down rates in defiance of the economic

trend of the times and the obvious ne+
 cessitfes of the railroad situation has
 worked the undoing of the shippers, as
 we'll as of the railroads.
 1t is obvious that we should adopt definite, comprehensive and adeouate
 policy for developing our railroad eU
 tensions, policy based on definite, de-
 term1ning factors. It seems very cer-
 tain that from the present plan of cor
 ord1nated, centralized operation, with
 its many savings and added efficiences
 made possible by Government control, there will be no reversion to the old system of competitive private owner l ship and conflicting regulation. If not that, then what do we face7 On every hand we hear the prophecy made that the present control of the railroads by the Government is but the first step toward Government own- ership, and that once unified under Government direction the railroads will never be "unscrambled."
 But in no country in the world where Government ownership of rail- roads has been attempted has it been
 
 of Prussia, where, under the arbitrary mandates of military autocracy. some degree of efficiency and profit has been secured. Further, in no i'm portant instance has the experience of our own Government in business oper./ alton or ownership of any form of pub- lie utilities been such as to warrant the conclusion that such~ activity could be profitably extended.
 The privately owned railroads of the United States have the lowest freight rates, the lowest capitalization per mile, the greatest operating efficiency and pay the highest wages of any rail- roads in the world.
 If private ownership has failed, both when unreguiated and when over-reg, ulated, and Government ownership gives no promise of success, what plan offers for meeting the situation?
 Various suggestions of a central Fed eral corporation regional holding com panes, Government guarantees and plans calling for profit sharing with the Government above fixed return have been frequently made. Some where along this line of thought lies rational solution. It is very certain that the old days of enforced compe- tition, antitrust laws, anti-pooling laws, conflicting State regulation, competition, duplication of service, would not be permitted by public alive to it's own interests.
 It seems equally certain that Gov ownership would not be per mitted if the public were equally alive to its real interests. The hour has ar rived for the suggestion of some plan which must be made ready for adop- ion as soon as possible. now that the ;risis of war has passed. Somewhere within the meaning of the words "co- operation" and partnership" lies the answer The public interest in trans ,ortation is paramount and must be protected, but public interest and pri~ yate interest need not be in conflict If regarded.
 Regional companies representing 10th private and public capital under private operation with governmental in the management and earnings above just guarantee would eem to assure the necessary extension If railroad facilities. In unity of in- crest and understanding progress to- yards the desired goal should be pos ibie, '' s~ --s '-"

Importance to our fisheries, and
upon which European investigators
have been working for some time
with most gratifying success so far
as the species Indigenous to their
waters are concerned, form an al
most virgin field or the Pacific.
Our great runs of salmon, cod, hall
but, herring, sardines, tuna, ETC.,
furnish excellent material upon
which to work, and / look for much
to be done along these lines in the
very ear future.
"a new survey of the known fish
ing banks of this coast together with
a search for new banks, should be
taken up at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Among deep-sea fishermen
and navigators there have BEEF cur
rent for many years rumors of shoals
and banks lying off u coast which
do not appear on the official charts,
and some of these are circumstantial
enough to justify a thorough inves-
tfgation being made to establish
| their truth or falsity.
'In the North Pacific we have at
present the most extensive known
cod and halibut banks in the world,
and I believe that the area of such
would be found to be vastly greater
upon a more thorough survey.
1T is especially important for us
to have charts showing the areas of
bottom which are comparatively
level and free from rocks and other
Instructions, so that the otter
trawl, which will soon supersede the
primitive hand and Longtime appara-
tus in our deep sea fisheries may be
operated successfully. Several such
areas have already been discovered
and charted, notably n off the Ore
gon coast. on which are to be found
immense numbers of the delicious
deep sea sole.
IAN important thing is to determ-
inc the rate of progress of salmon
when on their way to the spawning
ground. Were this known for each
species it would De a comparatively
easy matter to assure a clear pass
age for a school of fish from the
mouth of a river to the spawning

BIG SALT REDS AT FALION

C. w. Kinney, known as the salt
king" has purchased automobile
trucks to move salt from the 1000
acre deposit owned by him near
Fallon. The deposit is said to be n
of the largest beds of pure, clean
salt in the country, a number of so
foot shafts showing the bed to be at
least that depth. The source is ar
tesian springs, from which saturated
solutions are flowing at a rate that
is said to add 100000 tons annually
to the deposits. The thirst provok-
ing material is said to be from SO to
99.7 per cent pure. 1t is estimated
that the salt "a be mined for %
cents per ton, not including sacking
and loading. The loose surface ma
terial is scraped into piles to dry and
the harder underlying body is
blasted and sawed into 50-pound
blocks, for which there is said to be
a ready market Experts estimate
that 100000 tons of salt is ex-
posed in the bed.
