CLEAR THE TRACK

The railroad problem has reached
a. point in the east where New York
newspapers now find it necessary to
haul their print paper by motor
truck hundreds of miles from mills
in the Adirondacks to their plants
at cost of ten times the normal
railroad freight rates. They do so
because the railroads cannot be de-
pended upon to make deliveries.
We cite this fact because 1t is of
our own knowledge, but it is offered
merely as an illustration of the con-
dition into which the railroads have
slumped throughout the country.
Every resident of the United States
is paying to a greater or less extent
for this inability of the railroads to
handle freight promptly and eff
GENTLY. Farmers pay by inability
to market their produce quickly and
economically. Factories pay by in
ability to obtain raw materials and
to ship out their wares. Merchants
pay by the necessity of carrying
larger stocks to guard against in
terrupted receipts. Consumers
pay, as usual. by having all these
burdens passed on to them.
Several things are to blame. One
is the almost complete cessation of
railroad extension and provision of
rolling Stock during the war period
One is labor trouble. One is the
inability of the railroads to obtain
funds to remedy the firts two evils.
In the last analysis, therefore, II
seems to be reduced to the question
of obtaining funds.
Washington dispatches announce
that informal conferences between
railroad executives and members OF
the interstate commerce commission
have revealed a probable request for
an increase. of freight rates averag,
ing approximately 81 percent, which
will mean about $1,000, 200, 900
annual increase in the gross income
of the railroads. The first public
reaction to that suggestion is likely
to be one of opposition A gener.
alton of opposition to all railroad
demands, based upon what once wa:
well founded belief in the purely
predatory nature of the railroads, is
not easily altered.
But the railroads are no longe
purely predatory. They have beer
thoroughly subdued; so thoroughly
in fact, that it is now the public
which suffers by restriction rather
than the railroads. Russia today
furnishes an illustration of what
railroad restriction can mean. Witt

AT the meeting of the executive
committees of the Iowa Bankers As
ISOLATION, the Iowa Fleece Wool
Growers Association and the Ma
tional Wool Warehouse and Storage
Co.. a county agents or county sec
retary's receipt was formulated.
When the wool is weighed and
loaded on the car a county agents or
county scecretary's receipt will be
issued, which will be collateral at
any bank in Iowa for an advance of
10 percent or more at the prevailing
rate of interest in that county. The
usual sight draft in, bill of lading
will be issued by the warehouse at
z percent interest. Now that the
Iowa Fleece Wool Growers Asso-
citation has the backing of the Iowa
bankers and the National Wool
Warehouse and Storage Co., we feel
that no sheep men will hesitate 10
pool his wool. This receipt with
the above financial backing makes it
good as gold. Receipts will be
mailed to all county agents in about
two weeks. Wool prices remain
steady with wide range. The fol-

At the opening of the London
wool sales today prices for the best
merinos were about firm. All cross
bred prices were about par to per-
cent easier as compared with clos
ing prices of the previous series.
In 1919 Iowa marketed over a
million pounds of wool. This was
sold on grade and il is of interest to
the farmer to get the wool in the
best shape possible.
Be careful and keep the -feeces
clean and free from burs and chaff,

London Editors
Comment on Our
Newspaper Candidates

LONDON.-Famous British edi-
tors gave Universal Service their
opinions tonight as to the fitness Of
a newspaper man for the office Of
pres dent of the United States.
Robert Donald, president of the
Empire Press union, and former edi-
tor of the Daily Chronicle said:
THAT the highest political office
in the world should be occupied by
newspaper man is compliment to
the profession in every country. Both
Cox and Harding are very fine types
of American citizenship who have
risen to the top of profession in
which actual hard work and merit
only count. The press is the most
powerful force in modern life and
the men who make it should be able
to win the highest honors their coun-
try can give.
There is a strange prejudice
in England against putting journal
lists in office, and the example of
America in electing newspaper
man president will help to break it
down. The next president, wheth-
err his name be Cox or Harding, will
be held in great esteem by journal
lists as a man who won the highest
honor for their craft"
]. Alfred Spender, editor of the
Westminster Gazette, said:
Editors are very wise people, and
America is wise to choose an editor
for the office of president"
Alfred C. Gardiner, former editor
of the Daily News, said:
1.-The probable election of jour-
nalist to the White House is an ex-
tremely interesting event which
ought not to be to the disadvantage
of the United States. Assuming
that the successful candidate pos
sesses the qualities which gained for
him his nomination, his newspaper
career will add to his value because
that calling brings him in contact
with all phases of public interest
and has given him clear under
standing of affairs.
Lord Morley was an instance of
journalist entering high office in
england, but the practice is far
more common in France, even to an
unfortunate extent, because 1t re-
suits in men taking up newspaper
work not as a profession but merely
to graduate from it to public office
The daily Express says, comment
ing editorially on Governor Cox's
nomination:
"On the face of things the Demo-
Gratis have no more than q
ghost 4 Of chance Of elect
ing their candidate, but DEM
ocrat or Republican, Anglo-American
friendship is plank common to both
platforms.
The Daily Herald, organ Of Brit
ish labor, says:
| Eugene Debs will not be presi-
dent of the United States, but he
will poll many more votes than ev-
er socialist candidate polled be-
fore.
"The United States is signifying a
growing realization that the politi-
cal liberties the ancestors won can
only be secured by the establishment
of liberty"

Newspapers Used
AS a Means of
Building Morale

Over in France year or so ago
General Pershing took particular
care to lend his protection to the
soldier journalists who produced the
STARS and Stripes" No army will
in the future be completely equipped
without it's own newspaper
In accordance with the custom Of
maintaining a newspaper for en-
ployees at it's various plants through
out the country, the Goodyear Tire
& Rubber company of California,
Los Angeles, is announcing that
newspaper will be established at the
factory there in July.
The new Los Angeles factory pa
per will be called "The Wingfoot
Clan giving it the same name that
is being used in the other Goodyear
plants.
The factory paper will start as
weekly, just as the publication start
ed at Akron, and will be put under
the direction of F. H. Fuller, mana
ger of personnel department. 1t will
be distributed among factory and
office workers. The Akron publica-
ton is now being issued three times
each week and shortly will become
a daily with special magazine section
on Saturdays. This will be the only
daily newspaper in the country is
sued by any industrial concern for
the benefit of it's workers. The To-
ronto (Canada) and Goodyear
Comm papers are issued weekly
and the Phoenix publication twice
month. All Of these papers are
free to employees.
The company's officials agree that
the Goodyear newspapers have been
an effective means of cementing it's
workers to one common family. In a
big industry employing thousands of
men some method of cementing the
organization together is imperative,
for workmen have no other means
of knowing the extensive operations
newspapers is included every posi-
BILE item of Goodyear interest from
the volume of business transacted
to the prospective marriages of the
office stenographers. One Of the
developments that will come soon in
connection with the Los Angeles
plant is comprehensive program Of
sports and the Wingfoot Clan will
tell the workmen of the outcome Of
the various games played as a part
of that program.
In the publication at Akron a
whole page is devoted to sports and
this will also be done at the new
plant. Recreation activities will be
covered in special department on
the page. Already a keen interest
has developed among the workers in
the advent of the Wingfoot Clan.
In common with its sister publ
cations, the new publication will car
ry no telegraph or local news, ex-
cept such as especially concerns
Goodyear. 1t will be purely and
simply factory paper, not designed
for general circulation or to handle
outside world events.
