TO ENLARGE THE HERALD

On April 1 the Herald will be en
larged to an eight-page paper. and
our best effort put forth to make ii
the best country newspaper in the
state. This move would have been
made two years ago but for the war.
In order to carry out this course,
the price of The paper must be ra s.
ed to $1.00 a pear, not only because
of the increased size but also for
the reason that the paper barons are
gouging every possible dollar out of
their products. the prices going up
every week.
However, from now until April l
the Herald will be so cents a year
to new and old subscribers; or Fl 5e
years for $500, sent to one address
or more, as a club of not more thai
five.

STEEL STRONG
IN WALL STREET
1t Shows Fractional Gain.
Oils, Rails and Marines
Also Make Advances.
by BRoADAN WALL.

New York. May S-wild excitement
prevailed in about twenty stocks In
Wall Street today. while others were
calm. United States Steel was q
strong issue but was kept within
bounds and showed but a fractional
net gain, although at one time 1t was
up more than two points.
The oils and the Oil Rails were the
leaders with Marines and the clothing
stocks making spectacular advances.
American Woolen and Texas OIL were
among the most athletic issues.
OF the low priced rails Texas Pacific.
Missouri Pacific and Frisco were lead
ers. Kansas and Texas were well
bought. There was no further ex-
PLANTATION for the moves in the Marine
issues except the report current for
several days OF a deal that will make
Gulf look cheap at the highest price
II ever touched IL the deal goes
through.
For the strength in United States
Steel there was the conference of steel
products and railroad men who are
trying to agree on a price. 1t will be
remembered that when the price was
fixed several weeks ago United States
Steel was willing to accept s. a ton
less on pig iron than the price fixed.
Yesterday Wall Street believed a re-
port that this 81 ton reduction would
make a price acceptable to the Direc-
for General of Railroads.

convening Of Congress is a big
bull card On the market 1t means
constructive legislation on railroads
at an early date. And big interests
which have been ACCOMPLISHING them
know only too well the sentimental
interest which will start them up-
ward IL they are turned back to
private ownership.
The very fact that the roads made
the biggest profits in the three years
prior to government control is
enough evidence that il can be re-
peated. We have President Wilson's
word for it that the roads will never
be turned back TO the owners until
they are able TO stand in their own
merits. The roads will get their
just profits even il il is found neces-
sary TO have the freight rates in
creased In other words before the
government releases the roads all
restrictive laws will be done away
with and the properties placed on a
just paying basis
