NEXT HOUSE WILL GET
ESCH RAILROAD BILL
Committee Chairman Proposes to
Add Provision for Private Cars
to Be Common Carriers.

Railroad legislation will receive
prompt attention in the extra session
of Congress. Representative J. j.
Esch of Wisconsin, chairman of the
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee in the next House, is prepared
to introduce. as soon as Congress con-
venes, his bill which was introduced
early in February and on which no
action was taken before the end Of
the Sixty-fifth Congress. He viii ar
range al the earliest possible date to
start hearing on this measure which
contains the fundamental principles
that he expects 10 see embodied IN
| legislation affecting the railroads
under the republican regime.
In addition to the proposals in the
bill. which already has been de-
| sciihed in The Star Representative
Esch intends to urge one new item.
This would designate privately
! owned cars as common carriers, and
have special reference to refrigerator
cars owned by packing companies.
This one provision in the act would
be especially far reaching in its eff
feet.
"By making the refrigerator cars
owned by the packing companies COM
mon carriers Representative Esch
says they would at one stroke be
brought within the jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. so
that all the alleged abuses arising
out of the management of the refrig-
orator cars by the packing concerns
could be corrected by the federal com
mission"
The legislation which Mr.. Esch pro-
poses contemplates the return of the
railroads to private control as soon
as this can be accomplished without
d severe shock to the roads and to the
business life of the country.

PUBILCITY NEEDED

From the Oneonta Southern Democrat.
We are not disposed to criticize the
jury in the case of Huddleston VS.. The
Age-Herald. nor would we criticize the
court in any way. but if such verdicts
are justifiable under the law public
officials may hide behind the courts
and commit all kinds Of malfeasance,
and no man must dare raise his voice
in protest under penalty such as was
given The Age-Herald. If we keep
pure and righteous men in office the
light of publicity must be turned on.
The public wants to know what their
officials are doing. They have a right
to know, and the newspaper is the
medium through which this informa-
tion is carried to them. Cut it out and
you are at the mercy of unfaithful of

ously crossed swords with the best
troops the German empire could
furnish. The glory of our arms

where southern men lost their
lives, and to the decisive drive
from Ferdun to Sedan that ended
the war, where, as worthy sons.
your men maintained the best
traditions of a martial people.
Those southern boys who fought
and died in France were the sons,
many of them, of men who fought
against the Stars and Stripes in the
civil war. Their sacrifices, their hero
ism in battle, as shown when they
faced Germany's best troops and de-
feated them, sprang from the martial
ardor they had inherited, but their
allegiance belonged to the standard of
"a reunited country.
Nor was it the younger generation
alone that was fired by zeal to do
all that was humanity possible to bring
victory to American arms. There was
the pathetic, yet inspiring, spectacle
|of Confederate veterans, some of
them too feeble to march few blocks,
offering their services as combatant
troops, if needed.
The south put its heart and soul
into the world war, the young and old,
rich and poor patrician and plebian,
black and white. Here in Birming-
ham a record was established for sub
scribing to liberty loans and donating
money to war funds that attracted
national attention.
No doubt, the gallant sons of the
south who made history in France and
won imperishable fame by their ex-
ploits were steeled to face danger and
hardships by the knowledge that the
people back home stood solidly behind
them to the end.
