FOR OWNERS CONTROL

Holders of R. r. Securities Ask
coordination of Policy" Creating
Incentive and Initiative"

Continuation Of "the policy that has
successfully furnished incentive and
initiative"-in other words, return of
the government controlled railroads
to private control. but maintaining
government regulation-is the main
plank in the platform of the National
Association Of Owners of Railroad Sc
curities, which the association claims
is the platform upon which any struc-
ture must be founded that will be
framed into legislation for the return
of the roads. In asking for this the
association claims that competition Is
the life of railroads, and says that
adequate freight and passenger rates
are the basis of railroad credit and
are essential to Industrial. business
and agricultural growth. 1t also urges
congressional recognition that rates
must produce not less than defined
rate Of return on railroad property
investment in the aggregate.
Policy Recommended.
Incentive, initiative and competi-
tive service it urges can be insured
by an act of Congress-, which will
direct the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to adjust railroad rates so as
to yield the reasonable fixed per-
centage return of not less than per
cent on the investment in them, meas

excess Of per cent after amounts for

One-third to the railroads; one-third

the employees; one-third to the ship
pers and the public, through invest
ment in additional facilities, not per-
mitted to be capitalized for rate pur-
poses.
No other method will preserve COM

Not Entitled to Gratuity.


In the opinion of the judge advocate
general, "a discharge to accept a
commission, where the commission is
only temporary, and where the SOL
der is never completely separated
from the service. but Is given the
right to resume his former status as
an enlisted man upon the termina-
ton of his commission, should not be
considered a discharge for the pur-
poses of this act. and persons dis
charged under such conditions are
not entitled to receive the gratuity
provided for in the act unless, when
they resign or are discharged from
their commission. they fail to re-
enlist within the time prescribed by
the act for reinstating them in their
enlisted grade"
1t is asserted that the decision
quoted is discrimination against old
non-commissioned officers Of the Army
who were commissioned and did good
service during the world war.
The decision" said one of them,
"actually gives a premium to faith
full old non commissioned officers to
quit the service. By 1t enlisted men
who are given their discharge in or
der to re-enlist are entitled to the
bonus. whereas officers discharged
who have seen prior service are in
formed that they are not completely
0cQATdtcQ ITOI1 tN0 service until
expiration of three months in a civil
ian status. Strange reasoning it
seems. and to prove further that it is
strange reasoning. let me quote the
following paragraph from the same
decision:
The principal purpose of the act
was to provide soldiers with sufficient
funds upon discharge to enable them
to defray their expenses during the
time after their discharge that would
ordinarily be required by them to Sc
cure employment
I'm other words, according to the
decision, one class is given $50 to en-
able them to defray expenses while
seeking employment and the other
class must prove that they can secure
employment or at least make a three
month try at it before the bonus will
be paid to them"

AlcaZar to Present the
 Beautiful Alice Joyce

"The Lion and the Mousse will be seen at the Alcazar theater the first four days of the coming week. This screen adapta ton of the play which set the whole word talking is said to be even bet ter in pictures than it was on the le- gitimate stage. It was written by the late Charles Klein.
 In the screen version beautiful Alice Joyce takes the part of Shirley Rosa more. The story of "The Lion and the Mousse is of how n clever girl, yielding only trenchant pen, broke the will of a most powerful financial genius in the world, saves her father from most unmerited disgrace and wins the only son, of the moneyed king for herself in the end. It is story of tremendous ap peal and is convincingly told. There is strong love interest all the way througt and, although there are some unusua situations, the whole play is human, ano therein lies the secret of it's popular ty.
 In commenting on "The Lion and the Mouse" Wid. the famous movie critic declares it to be strong production al the way througfih, we'll directed and well acted' To use his own words, " Int Lion and the Mouse was a great play but it is a greater picture, with Alice Joyce giving a vivid portrayal of the girl, it probably will rank as one of the best things that has been done. It is a force ful drama admirably produced"

gardless of the fact that they hit the screen as tramps. finally win out.
 In Pals First" the star part is taken
 by handsome Harold Lockwood sup
 ported by clever cast of well known screen favorites. It is from the pen of
 Francis Perry Elliott, one of the most Hskillful novelists of the day The story
 has to do with two young fellows who
 have strayed from the paths of honesty
 to the extent of cracking a few safes
 and engaging in a bit of burglary. To
 escape the consequences of their acts
 they wander south as tramDs. The story
 opens with them walking along a coun-
 try road somewhere in Tennessee, and as
 they approach the ancestral home of the
 Castlemans, an old southern family, one
 of them is mistaken for the long absent
 young master, the last of his line.
 So great is the resemblance of the
 crook to the missing heir that he easily
 deceives everyone, and soon he and his
 pal are in full possession of the big es tate. Just as they are preparing to de-
 camp they are discovered to be impos- ters. As they start to depart they learn that an interruptions doctor in the vil- lage is trying to take advantage of a young girl to whom the dead master has left his entire fortune Knowing the character of the doctor one of the pals" determines to stay and see that the doctor doesn put his little deal over and then the first quarrel comes between the pals" They decide to stay together, and the end of the story shows the doctor outwitted, the nd-hearted young crook reformed and the husband of the heiress.
 Thursday Friday and Saturday brings another one of those wonderful Cecil B. DeMille features entitled For Better, For Worse.' Into the picture is woven a beautiful love story that will charm beyond comparison.
 There will be Mack Sennett comedy entitled "The Little Widow Pathe News reel will round out the programme
 and the big Strand organ will play all the pictures every day.
