Possibilities of that alternative. The

Strong Endorsement also was given to
the warfeld plan by Samuel H. Beach.

that half the people Of the United States

bought railroad securities would be af-

eliminates Depressing Factor.

The fundamental proposal of the
warfield plan is that this continual basis
for warfare between the shipper and the
railroads. this constant depressing factor
against relief before the commission,
when relief is necessary. must be re-
moved by a regulation OF excess earn
tngs which will relieve shipping organI-
cations Of their apprehension and the
commission of the odium which would
be visited upon it il it gave an1uent
railroads higher rates to protect Ameri-
can transportation from bankruptcy.
For this reason we believe that in
asking Congress to instruct the commits
sion that n 6 per cent. rate level, which
would leave only 5ia per cent. in the
treasury OF class | railroads, we are
suggesting the lowest possible ratio on
which the reads as a whole can sur
vive, the lowest in the aggregate which
any court would sustain. It is the ir-
feducible minimum.
"For every dollar invested in the aver
age American railroad In cash since
1907 1t has received return of less. than
per cent IL income and investment of
1917 be compared with the income and
( investment of 1907. Congress cannot
expect this result to continue It must

ways as n whole. when that policy is

From Savings Banks Viewpoint.
~ Mr.. Beach said: The only idea in
the minds OF many people regarding
railroad securities Is that they are
mainly held and owned by the very
wealthy. They do not consider that the
majority Of the liquid wealth OF the
nation consists Of the small accumula-
tons OF the many. The Savings Banks

THE American people have invested

SQUIRRELS OR CROPS?
PROBLEM TO COURTS.

Has a person the right to protect
his crops from protected wild game ?
This question looms before VIM Skin
ner, who lives at the head of the south
hollow in Glen Haven. A cornfield
adjoining the timber was being utter
ly consumed by squirrels, and Mr..
Skinner wrote the state conservation
commission as to what recourse he
had in the matter and received no re-
ply Then he interfered and killed
over a hundred of the little robbers.
He was fined $50 for violation of the
game law, which protects the squir-
rels to October Is. He refuses to pay
the fine and will appeal the case to
higher authority. AS a matter of SIM
pie justice, a citizen should be per-
mitted to protect his crops in such a
case, which we believe is the view
any jury would take of such case,
law or no law.-Bloomingto Record.
