CALLS PLUMB PLAN
HOSTILE TO PUBLIC GOOD
Edgar j. Rich Tells House Interstate
Commerce Committee That 1t Is
"Perversion" Of Socialism.

Washington, D. c.. Sept. l2.-The
Plumb plan for tripartite control of the
railroads under government ownership
must be buried beyond all hope if it is
not to be made ''rallying point for the
naturalization of all industry, Edgar j..
Rich, transportation counsel for the As.
sociated Industries Of Massachusetts, de-
clared to-day before the House inter.
state commerce committee considering
legislation for final disposition of the
railroads.
Mr. Rich, who also spoke for the man
ufacturing associations of - states and
the Massachusetts Chamber of Com
merce, said the Plumb plan like bolshe-
vism, was 'peryersion" Of the principle
OF socialism in that it would benefit only
one class and deny the socialistie theory
Of "the general public good" The rail-
roads under the plan, he said, would be
operated "for the benefit of the work
ers," while the public would assume all
risk of loss.
The greatest defect of the plan, he de-
clared, is that the two-thirds representa-
tion given the workers and railroad Off
GERS on the proposed wage fixing board
would enable the workers to dominate"
the board and fix their own wages re.
gardless Of revenues with the public to
stand any resultant losses,
The "apthor Of the plan" said Mr..
Rich. "claims there would be an incen
tive Tor efficient operation because every
worker would be entitled to a share in
the surplus, But after the employees
had helped themselves to what wages
they wanted, does anyone believe there
would be any surplusl Why should the
employees care to accumulate surplus,
half Of which they can have, when
they can get the whole and more by
adjusting their own wages?'

DISAPPOINTMENT
OF CELEBRATION
CONTINUED from page four)


Mormon religion was not decent and
We editor and some of the other
Methodists spent part OF the mid
day hunting up their Mormon friends
and expressing their sincere regrets
that this New York minister didn't
have any sense and asking them to
try to forget the unpleasant affair.
The New York minister, before
taking his train out for Seattle,
stepped into the office of editor
number two and left dollar to pay
for copies of the next issue of the
paper, as he wanted to read what
was said about his sermon. After
the paper was printed, the editor
sent him dollars worth of copies,
but the man and the sermon were
not mentioned in the edition nor
ever afterwards till now.
While the morning services were
in progress and the artist was
preventing the taking Of the historic
photographs, the Indians in camp got
together again and continued their
war dances with the noisest cow
hide drums in the possession of the
tribes, so when the reverend came
out of the church a photographer was
trying to get pictures and the war
dance was in full swing couple OF
blocks away.
The load of hay that was deposited
for the use of the Indian ponies was
sufficient to feed them If it had been
used properly, but some one opened
q gate and turned the ponies all in
and they stood around on top of the
hay, tramping 1t under foot and
fighting the timid ones away. And
some Of the Indians, whose ponies
were not getting any hay, took them
to livery stables and left them, tell
ing the men in charge that Byrd
Trego would pay the bills. A num-
Der of others took the ponies down
on the street below the Indian camps
and picketed them in front of the
Dubois residence. Mrs. Dubois had
planted a lot of young trees and
some Of the ponies were staked out
on the fiat and promptly pulled up
their stakes and walked into the
Dubois yard and gave a world OF
trouble.
AS often as another pony disturbed
something at the Dubois place Mrs.
Dubois telephoned to editor number
two to come down and look after his
people and their ponies, colts and
dogs.
BY the time Sunday had worn
away, the celebration had run its
course and there was nothing left
for Monday. The day opened with
a wind storm, and It was one Of the
dullest days the town had ever seen.
Editor Bert Miller and some others
drove down from Idaho Falls to wit
ness the closing day Of the Diamond
Jubilee at the Grove City, and found
the town dead and ready to be
buried, SO they drove back home, try
ing to explain the inexplicable.
After day or two the committees
got together as many members as
they could to audit the bills and

keenly disappointed about the Ep-
worth leaguers that did not come nor
had not. been heard from, but the
minister was too busy to attend any
committee meeting. Then some OF
the fellows waxed wroth and courte-
ously asked him to bring over his
expense accounts and turn back what
was left Of the money that had been
handed into his keeping for paying

bills in his department, and he said
he had disbursed all the money as
he thought best, and he had nothing
to see the committees about.
The committee decided that 1t was
a. good time to keep sweet and not
waste any time swearing, and that
paying the rest of the bills promptly
and keeping their troubles to them
selves for a season would probably
be as good luck as any.
