connection he said it had been called
to his attention that the provision TAX
ing away from the several states the
revenue now derived from the rail-
roads was not right. He was willing,
he said, to change this SO that the
states would receive 10 per cent less a
year until the point was reached, in
10 years, when they would receive
nothing
Mr.. Plumb said, in answer to an in
quiry, that under his plan the rail-
roads would be liquidated ~ hold

2-3 per cent of their value.
Six billion dollars in fictitious val

Even then, he continued, holders OF
stock would get exactly what they
would if their holdings were put on

suggestion was transmitted to the two
interstate commerce committees, which,
it was thought, transferred the wage prob

There was no indication tonight as to
how Mr.. Hines would proceed to the

REALTORS CONDEMN
INSURANCE BILL
Exchange Invited to Barbecue at Roe
buck Springs Next Week

Resolutions condemning the present
bill before the Legislature which i'm
poses tax upon out-of-state insurance
and loan companies operating in this
state were adopted by the members of
the Real Estate exchange at it's lunch
con at the Southern club yesterday.
J. K. Brockmah delivered a brief
digest of the bills which have been and
will be brought up before the legisla-
ture, laying particular stress upon the
above bill, which will materially af-
feet the real estate and insurance in
terests of the real estate men of the
state, it is said.
The most important point brought
out in the course of the discussion of
the proposed bill was that it would,
if passed, have tendency to drive
such enterprises out of this state and
that they would seek other states in
which no such tax existed.
w. (Pat) Oliver invited the entire
exchange to a barbecue which he is
going to give to the exchange at his
place, near Roebuck Springs, on next
Thursday afternoon.

You will remember that a conference
between yourself and the authorized rep

the instance of these representatives for
July Is, to discuss the wage question
and the question of national agree
ment, but before this conference took
place or could take place, local bodies
of railway shopmen took action look
ing toward a strike on the first Of Au>

strikes actually took place before there
was an opportunity to act in satisfac-

the wages. In the presence of these

MACHINERY CREATED

when federal control of the rail-
roads began, the railroad administfa-
ton accepted existing agreements De-
tween the shopmens organizations aid
the several railroad companies, and
by agreement machinery was created
for handling the grievances of the
shipments organization of all the rail-
ways, whether they had heretofore
had the benefits of definite agree
ments or not. There can be no ques-
ton, therefore, of the readiness of the
government to deal in a spirit of fair
ness and by regular methods with any
matters the men may bring to their
attention.
Concerned and very careful consid-
Grafton is being given by the entire
government to the question of reduc-
ing the high cost of living. l need
hardly point out how intimately aud
directly this matter affects every in
dividual in the nation, and if trans
portation is interrupted it will be i'm
possible to solve it. This is time
when every employe of the railways
should help to make the processes of
transportation more easy and eco
nomical rather than less, and en-
ployes who are on strikes are DELHI
erately delaying a settlement of their
wage problems and of their standard
of living. They should promptly re-
turn to work. and I hope that you
will urge upon their representatives
the immediate necessity for their do
ing so.
