money to provide increased pay should

rate advances. This Temporary relief
must be accompanied by a determined
effort to reduce the cost of living.
PERMANENT SOLUTION.
Permanent solution of the rail-
road problem was declared to de-
pend upon the removal of returns
to capital as the sole purpose of
operation. and the director general
accordingly was asked to recon-
attempt TO obtain approval by con-
ress of organized labors bill TO
eliminate private capital from con-
troll of the railroads and to give
the employees a share in the profits.
The union heads declared the belief
of the workers to be that trans

to guarantee just wages, maintain
the properties and give equitable
returns on money invested.

Preparing For Improvement District

The city council at a meeting Tues day night passed an ordinance for the circulating of petition among the property holders for the purpose of ere ating an improvement District for the graveling of the streets and draining the town The ordinance is published i'll this issue of the Independent and should be read by every property own CT in town.
 This is the best move the@city council has eyer made and it is sincerely to be hoped that the people will all join in the move and push the good work to fn ish Carlisle needs to get out of the mud and this is the first move that has been made in the right direction to get herout.
 Of course 1t is but natural that there should be some kiekers ill every move for the improvement of a town, and there always is; but we do not believe there will be enough of them in this in stance to cut any figure.
 Good roads and streets are the life of d growing town and Carlisle should not De deprived ot them at this time. Good drainage is also essential to the health of the town and while we have the op- potunity we should take advantage of it and get both.
 In the long run the cost of these inn proyements will never be missed and we can get the benefits while we are paying for them.
 When the petition is presented to you, sign it, and let's make Carlisle an ex- empiary town to live in. Besides all the comforts of good streets 1t will make your property more valuable and will be the means of inducing more people to come to Carlisle to live.
 Carlisle is the best town in this sec tion of the state now. and the push and vim of her business men and citizens is going to make it still better. So let's get the good streets and drainage. The sooner the better.
