Willful Wastefulness Charged
on Managements of Railroads.

1t has been charged that pri-
vate ownership of railroads under
Government subsidy and con-
troll have deliberately padded
pay rolls and caused or tolerated
other wasteful conditions for the
double purpose of discrediting
Government ownership and fore
ing high rates WHICH later eco
nomics would turn into excessive
private profits.
Railway managers deny the
charge.
Therefore testimony is in order.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
for three generations been one
of the best managed railroads in
the country. If the charge is
proved against the Pennsylvania
Railroad, it's general truth may
falrly be assumed.
In the files of the Railroad Ad-
ministration at Washington is
specific accusation responsibly
signed that on one of the divi-
sions of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road thirty-four persons were
employed to do the sorting of
salvage refuse which four per-
sons had easily done prior to 1917.
There is no evidence that this
absured excess of labor was or
dered by any responsible official
of our Government, and we are
assured that it was not sought
by the railway brotherhoods. On
the contrary it was an official of
one of the railway labor organi-
cations who called the Railroad
Administrators attention to the
waste.
Now comes H. S. Jeffery,
chairman, attorney and counsel
lor of the Advisory Board of the
Philadelphia and Camden Fedora
tions of the Pennsylvania system
lines, with an open letter to Vice
President W. W. Atterbury from!
which we quote:
AT Camden, N. j., under

Division Engineer w. E. Brown,
there is paint department,
where is employed one painter,
at So cents an hour. Supervising
this one painter is a gang fore
man, and supervising the gang
foreman and painter is an assist
ant foreman on a monthly salary,
and supervising the assistant
foreman gang leader is a foreman
on a monthly salary. In other
words, there are four men in that
observation-disclosures and assist
ant foreman on a monthly salary
and a gang leader on an hourly
basis, and one mechanic three
foremen or bosses and one pro
ducer. If you doubt this | would
take great pleasure in furnishing
you the names Of the foreman,
assistant foreman. gang leader
and painter, and can take you
directly to the department, and
| might add that in many other
departments conditions are near
ly as bad."
In addition to this definite as
sertion, Mr.. Jeffery asks the fol-
lowing questions:
"Can you explain why it is that
you employ girls twelve to four
teen years of age as laborers,
placing them in the shops, yards,
etc., with brooms, sweeping the
dirt, dusting tn e shop walls,
gathering in congregations to
talk and idle away time?
"Can you explain why it is
that you give out work to be done
by contractors at enormous prices
at prices two or three times
what it would ordinarily cost if
done by your regular employes?'
Mr.. Jeffrey promises that from
this day on the railway employees
intend ito place before the Amer
rican people the true conditions
existing/on the railroads and to
ask President Wilson and the
Railroad Administration to dis
miss all railroad officials who per-
sist in running up costs for the
purpose Of discreditlng our
Government"
It is too late. The private
manipulators of the railroads
have succeeded in persuading
President Wilson to reverse his
policy as to the railroads. He
has decided to return the rail-
roads to their private owners at
the end of this year, with or
without the consent Of Congress.

likely be clods in July. Clodded land is very difficult to work be- cause the clods are always in the way. The plant food contained in the clods is not available and that much of our very best soil is not usable at any time during the sea- son.
 Single Mule Farming Expensive
 Orders should be placed at once for two and three horse cultivators. Spring tooth gangs should be insist ed upon. Horse labor will always be cheaper than man labor in produc- ing both corn and cotton. Money spent for proper implements which are needed will always yield large dividends if these implements are used. The high cost of production in the south is very largely traceable to the use of single blows. The one- -mlue idea must go.
 Raise More Peas and Beans
 Leguminous crops are very sadly needed in the state. Cowpeas or soy beans should be sown after evrey acre of wheat and oats and either these or velvet beans will yield good returns in a large por- tion of the corn in the state. It is necessary that the cotton as a source of ready cash be supplemented with livestock grown on feed produced by leguminous crops if our soil fer tility is to be maintained. Seed for planting each acre above mentioned should be obtained at once. Seed of summer legumes are not always plentiful at planting time.
 Concentration Agents and Farmers'
 Wives to go to School
 From May 18th to 31st, three group meetings for county home demonstration agents will be held at the University of Arkansas at Fay- ettevilie, according to Miss Connie u. Bonslagel, state home demonstra- tion agent. A new innovation of the meetings this year is that each county home demonstration agent IS expected to bring two club wo- men from her county with her. Each group meeting will last a week and will be given under the direction of the specialists at the college of az riculture.

 Boys and Girls Short Course Opens

 Short courses for the club boys and girls of Arkansas will be offer ed this summer by the specialists for the agricultural extension fore es in cooperation with and at the district agricultural schools. The four agricultural schools have agreed to care for not more than 300 boys and girls at each place. In addition to instruction plenty of wholesome entertainment will be provided and the club members will be properly chaperoned by the demonstration forces.

Fertilize Spring Oats

Spring oats should be top dressed with seventy-five to one hundred twenty-five pounds of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia per acre except on very rich land. This will insure large feed supply at home and will materially reduce the bill for hay The fertilizer should be sown broadcast at the rate indi- cated when there is no water on the plants.

TELEPHONE RATES.

Not being efficiency engineers, ex- pert accountants, detectives or con- gressmen there are some things we can't understand. One of these is: How the Mackay people can afford to install ana maintain free of charge telephone instruments in busi- ness houses, and then provide toll service at such low charge, while the Bell people, who recently increased rentals on business and residence phones, charge so much more,
 We expect that the Bell people can present mass of figures in support of the contention that they cannot render the service for less than they charge, but that will not convince in the face of the fact that the Mackay people give the sarne service for less money.
 The Mackay people are not philan- thropists, and it hasn't been con- ceded that their method of operation is more efficient than that of the Bell company consequently the great different in charges puzzles the average telephone user, who is like ly to reason thusly: If the Mackay people can make money at the rates they charge, after installing and maintaining instruments free, why is it the Bell people can't make the same toll rates, especially when they collect rental on their phones, and charge for installation?
