THE DEMAND FOR THE
SPECIALIZATION OF RAILROADS

By r. G. r. GORDON.

iteers, to tax every man. woman and
child in the nation for their special
benefit. That is what they seek. Mr.
Lee, one of the brotherhoods chiefs
says that unless we go over to social
ization, or do something for the rail-
way workers, he is likely to go over
to the ranks of the Bolshevik Well
that's just where Mr.. Lee belongs
right now He is state socialist
though he may not know It, Then he
and the other leaders talk about pro
tecting the public Great God, pro-
tectng the public! Why, what they
mean is soaking the public.
They know very well that inside of
six years under socializat ton our trans
portation bill would cost us $40, 00O,-
600 day more than it would under
private ownership. and unless we
agree to this hold-up. these state Soc
ialists threaten to strike and tie UP the
whole country. paralyze its Industries,
starve its people. And this what they
call democracy"
When these labor leaders assure
the public of immediate savings"
they simply make a confession that
they have been 'sabotaging' all this
past eighteen months, for, if they can
make savings after the lines are soc
ialized they could have made savings
right along during the past eighteen
months.
Now, what they are after is an in
crease IN wages of $1,000, 900, 900, and
if by any possibility there is any profit,
after all expenses are paid, including
about four per cent to capital, they
are willing to divide this with the
public and themselves. Was ever d
more cold blooded skin game of prof
lteering upon the public than this
dreamed OF?
Then they have the gall to talk
about efficiency thorugh democracy!
Efficiency, why, democracy is the very
thing that prevents any efficiency.
The socialization of any industry will
enormously add 10 inefficiency. waste
and extravaganza. and this is proved
by the history of public ownership all
over the world. 81
These labor leaders say that they
believe that their scheme will reduce
transportation charges; they know
better. They know it will enormously
increase transportation costs and the
whole public will pay the bill.
The specialization of the railways
would be gigantic crime against the
economic welfare of all the people.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

| The land owners under the Fort
Sumner irrigation system have the
right spirit, plenty of nerve and
abundant confidence N themselves
and their fertile lands. which have
proved their merit. despite an imper-
feet and unreliable canal and dam.
The farmers have for the past year
teen owners Of the system. Because
they received no satisfactory service
and needed to take matters into their
own hands they purchased the pant
Negotiations were put through during
the financial stringency of war times
An engineer was engaged and ascer-
tanned the cost OF construction of a
safe dam and proper canal construc-
ton. Plans involved reclamation Of
additional land by securing water
from a point further up the Pecos
than under the old system, thus add
Ing to the assets needed for 100000
construction expense.
Now comes concrete proof of the en-
terprise of the people. At an election
held last week not a single landowner
voted in the negative on cucumber
ing the lands by issuance Of 100000
bonds The unanimity of the people
interested, and the record of the area
for productiveness should enable the
district to find buyer for the securi-
ties at fair price, If this has not
already been done. Irrigation bonds
are not much desired by investors and
there are few banks or bondhouses
that wiz consider purchase, because
many years ago. before the govern
ment began reclamation work many
companies defaulted on bonds. Many
millions of such securities were in
banks and are still there.
But the great changes have oc-
Cured in laws and safeguards for
irrigation enterprises as well as in
knowledge about construction and
Within the last few
years quite a number of projects of
the magnitude of that at Fort Sumner
have been financed without govern
ment assistance.

EAT LESS MEAT

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause ali
sorts OF distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges. severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness. bladder and uri-

The moment your back hurts or
Kidneys aren't acting right, or'if blad-
der bothers you, get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful In a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and Your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid

activity; also to neutralize the acids

WHAT 1T WOULD MEAN.

We publish elewhere on this page
an article by f. G.. II. Gordon on the
railroad situation. 1t is clear AND
cold analysis of the facts. and should
appeal to the cool judgment of the
brotherhoods as well as of the people
generally.
Mr. Garretson says that the men in
/ charge of railroad operations have
done all they could to discourage gov
eminent ownership. That statemen,
is hardly true, unless they deliberately
sought to demoralize the employees,
There is deficit of one billion three
hundred and fifty million dollars. VI
TO this time. in government operation
Wages of railway men We're increased
to billion dollars. and one hundred
and forty-five thousand men have
been added to the payroll, with fewer
trains running than before. at cost
of two hundred and ten million dol

Mexico was insulted again few
days ago and an official protest wired
to Washington. because an aeroplane
apparently was over the line for a
minute. Army officials Immediately
denied the allegation publicly. Pri-
yately they probably affirmed few
things. If the American aviation
patrol should on flight discover villa
making a sneak on Juraz. Carranza
might forgive espionage as he did
when the colored cavalry crossed and
chased the Villa band away from the
federals, who were about to be

thanks for even tn action were never
given.

If in 1916 the people of this nation
had been forced to pay the German
rates for freight TRANSFORMATION our
freight bill that year would have been
$4,000, 900 day more than 1t was.
Good service is far more important
even than rates, and. although the
socialized railways give the very worst
service in the world. yet they cost
the people the highest rates. Every
public owned railway in the world is
politlcalized from end to end, and be-
cause of this the service is rotten.
The brotherhood chiefs quote Presi-
dent Wilson as asking for the
genuine characterization of indus
try :" That means. IL It means any-
thing at ALL the specialization Of in
dustry, and it is none the less an
economic crime against the people
because the president said it, than it
would be if an agitator said it.
