ASK
RESTORATIONoF
COURT POWERS
In Memorial to Congress Ma
tionaI Association Opposes
Proposal to Create New
Transportation Board.

Chicago, Jan. SIN a memorial to
congress made public here today the
National Shippers conference de-
manded immediate restoration of their
powers to state and federal courts and
commissions over the railroads.
The memorial was addressed primar-
lily to the joint committee considering
Senator Cummins' bill for the termina-
ton of federal control. The shippers,
representing nearly all lines of busi-
ness except the packers opposed the
proposal to create a transportation
board arguing that 1t would be confus-
Ing to give the new board powers which
have been vested in the interstate
commission.
A permanent guarantee OF returns
for the roads was attacked as social
istic and apt 10 result in loss of effi-
cheney and initiative by the roads. On
the same grounds the proposal to ap-
propriate to the government any sur
plus earnings was disapproved. It
would mean penalization of efficiency,
the shippers said.
The commission asked for just leg
islation which will prevent railway
strikes. No recommendationA were
made. 1t was suggested the interstate
commerce commission be authorized to
Investigate rail and waterways to de-
tcrmine possibilities for extension and
unification.

COMMISSIONERS TO
INVEST s500,O0O;
GOOD ROAD MONEY
Half of Proceeds From 81, ,000,-
600 Bond Sale to Be Put in
Federal Certificates Draw
ing Good Interest.

There was placed to the credit of
the county commissioners i'm the Ada
county banks today 100000, the
amount received from the sale Of
good roads Improvement bonds.
Before Friday night, 100000 of this
amount will be invested in federal GER
tificates of Indebtedness which will
draw interest at the rate of Az per
cent. thus making big saving TO the
county on that amount of the issue,
making the interest but one fourth of
one per cent, while the money Is idle.
The federal certificates will be taken
by the banks at any time at their face
value so by making the investment the
commissioners assume no risks.
1t was decided to take this course
when 1t was found that the Gather
this winter was too severe for road
building, an unusual condition and thus
none OF the money secured from the
bonds could be put to immediate use.
The other 100000 will be held in the
banks as county deposits drawing in
terests at the regular rate until with
drawn fer road building purposes.
The interest on the entire fund to-
tails $139 per day. but considerable
amount of this will be saved by the
investment In federal securities.

DEMAND TREATY
RATIFICATION
Democratic Politicians in
Washington for National
Committee Meeting Declare
West and South Want Peace.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. S.-The country
wants the treaty and it wants it
mighty badly; it does not care partic-
ularly whether there are reservations
to 1t or not, according to Democratic
politicians here, at national commit
tee meeting today and the Jackson day
dinner tonight. The demand for rati-
fication is particularly strong in the
middle west and the south, Democrats
said, as those sections see In restora-
tion of peace officially hope Of the
immediate return to normal business
conditions.
Colonel Sam Amidon. Wichitas Kan.
and Colonel Charley Higgins, st. Louis,
who spoke for that section Of the
country said the treaty Is the upper
most thought among business men and
that IL the Republicans let II get into
the campaign the people will show in
short order what they think about the
senate's delay In ratifying. Charles
Morris. of Ohio, one of Governor Cox's
lieutenants, reported that Ohio Is full
of treaty psychology" Morris said
the people there believed that when
the treaty controversy Is over things
will settle down. Ratification OF the
treaty in itself may not have much
to do with putting conditions back to
normal, but the psychological effect
Morris. said, will be tremendous.
These views were echoed by virtual
ly all the delegates. Every time q
delegate was asked what the folks at
home had on their minds, he said. the
peace treaty" first, and then proceeded
to other things.
The wet and dry question. II appears.
is now only the subject of jokes and
Is dead 10 far as its being immediately
revived ar an issue Is concerned.
