Our Sick Horse

We have another problem that is
also to be solved That is our sick
transportation system. Ten years ngo
James J. Hill said that our railroads
needed billion dollars a year for
seven years TO bring them up 10 a
condition of proper service for the
business OF the United States. Tnev
have never had an average OF much
more than half a billion. At prevail
ing prices and wages and the cost Of
construction, Mr.. HIPS billion year
would now mean two billions year.
Mr.. McAdoo, in his propose! for five
years government control, timdly sug-
eests tho need OF half billion. And
Mr.. McAdoo was probably the ablest
politician who could have been found
to take hold Of the roads.
We nrc beginning to get a taste Of
what government operation means. A
year ago our roads were tied up with
terrific traffic with priority orders
and congestion at tire senboard. The
railroad administration has done nd
mirablc work in strengthening out this
congestion and getting the traffic again

now owes US far moro than we ever

Precedent Of 1000 Years Brok.
en- When Sistine Choir Lands

New York, Sept. 16.-The Sistine
Choir Of the Vatican, possibly the old
est organization of it's kind in the
world arrived in New York today and
thus broke a precedent which has last
ed for 1000 years. The American
tour of the choir will be the first time
since it's formation in the Fourth Gen.
tury that the famous body of singers
ever left the precincts Of the Vatican.
There are seventy singers drawn
from the choirs Of the fifteen chapels
of the Vatican and range in age from
eight years to the psalnist three
score and ten.
The singers were received by Mayor
Hylan at the city hall and officially
welcomed to New York. After the
mayor had delivered his speech of
welcome the choirsters responded with
chant sung from the steps of the
city hall. .
After; concerts here, the choir will
visit the principal cities of the United
States and Canada.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 17.-Wheth-
er or not Senate Bill No. 40 passed
at the last session Of the legislature
is constitutional, and whether or not
the state Of North Dakota may col
lect $1,5OO,0O0 in taxes from foreign
corporations on moneys and credits
held in North Dakota rests with the
supreme court following a hearing
Monday.
Senate Bill No. 40 provides that all
book accounts, moneys credits, mort

Dakota parties by foreign interests
shall pay to the state 3 mill tax.
It is estimated that there is at least
$500, 100000 so held.
4. Attorney General William LANCER
and Assistant Attorney General F. E.
Packard defending the bill against
counsel retained by the various COM
panies, contend that all such debts
are contracted in the state and re-
suit from transactions within North
Dakota and the state has jurisdiction.
The plaintiffs contended that notes,
mortgages held, for instance in st.
Paul, are Minnesota owned and non
taxable by North Dakota. The con-
tention is also raised that the bill
restricts interstate commerce in vio-
lation Of federal rulings.
During the past three months, the

America for its great support Of his

for the continuance of this help.

press his gratitude, and third, to ex-
press the "need of American help for

"America," he said, chad no terri

traditional policy to keep herself al
oof from every European conflict; Am
erica had in her bosom proportion
of citizens of German origin, and ap-
peared to foreign observer, rather
asa cosmopolitan :,gglo1heration than
one homogeneous unit; but this Won
derful country showed herself to be
animated by one soul, permitting all
the parts of her immense organization
and giving to all the individuals the
same high ideal, the strongest bond of
social unity, the ideal which the great
doctor of the Catholic Church, Saint
Ambrose, defined in this brief and spl-
! endid motto: Above all, honesty
"America saw Belgium struggling
and suffering for honor. America
could not help esteeming, loving, ad-
miring Belgium; not in words, but in
deeds.
"Our brotherhood In the worship
of the same ideal brought both our
nations nearer to each other, and my
desire to clasp your hand over this
common cause Of eternal justice is the
first reason for my coming here.
"Even as Belgium was, in IA the
providential instrument to bar the
way to the invaders in order to al.
low France and England to concen.
trate their forces against the German
