Plea TO SCRAP
ALEXIS BRANCH
WILL BE HEARD
Hearing ON Southern's Petition to
Dismant.e Part Of Road Set
for Monday.

Springfield. June 5.-The state
utilities commission today set for
hearing in Monmouth next Monday
before Commission.r Funk. the pc
tition of the Rock Island Southern
Railway company for permission
to permanently abandon service on
and to dismantle its Alexis branch.
The Alexis branch Is q spur Of
but q few miles in length running
from the main line to Alexis. The
electric service on the Alexis
branch was abandoned recently by
the company at the time that SIM
liar service was discontinued on
the main line of the system. Only
two steam trains each day are be-
ing operated over its tracks by the
road at present.
When he petition Of the road was
filed it aroused strong opposition in
Alexis, and the citizens made &C
tive fight against it as they had
been assured of adequate rail SER
vice at the time the line was run to
Alexis and stock in the road was
sold in that community.

keep SERVICE
men At WORK
These ut Arsenal Assured Prefer
ence Under Ruling Of OhciaI
Board.
Rock Island. June 5.

Editor The Argus:
Under date of May II, the com
mittee on legislation. Of the Fred
c. Schaffner unit of the United
Veterans Of the Republic addressed
the following to the commanding
officer at Rock Island arsenal.
Believing that the men who
served their country in times of
war should. if they so desire, be
the ones to serve their country in
times of peace.
Realizing that there must of
necessity be a large reduction at
the arsenal, we as an organization
composed Of the veterans Of the dr.
ferent wars Of the republic, wish to
express our desire that SO far as
the requirements win permit, that
the ex-service men now employed
at the arsenal be retained
Under the same date this matter
was taken up with the national
president of the United Veterans OF
the Republic, who in turn took it
up with President Martin A.. Nor
risen of the United States civil
service commission, who has issued
a decision that ali ex-service men
employed at any government plant
must be kept in the government
employ regardless Of civil service
rule.
OF course this does not mean that
an ex-service man is to be kept on
a lob" that he is not qualified to
fill, but that il he can do the work
that is assigned him, the govern
ment is bound by the decision Of
the president Of the civil service
commission, to keep the ex-serv.ce
men in preference to all others, and
provided this can be done witho II
injury to the service.
This is one Of the "big" points
gained by the United Veterans for
the benefit Of the ex-service men.

GREAT NEED FOR

square feet for distributing pla1e

amy a4ptspriatisn bill.

Signing Of the military appro-
priations bill By the president to-
day gave hope that It may not Be
necessary to make the radical re-
duction Of the force ct Rock.lsIsnd
arsenal which otherwise would
have been necessary. At last ac-
counts the measure carried I pro-
vision putting work allotted to ar
senals on the same basis as that
undertaken by private contract. In
other words, unexpended balances
81 appropriations would not revert
70 the treasury till after the com
pletion Of work in hand. Unless
nth hour amendments eliminated
this feature there will be no need
TOR an abrupt cessation Of activi-
ties July l and letting remaining
Jobs out at private contract.

OF course even with this clause
in the appropriations bill it is prob
able that it will be found neces.
sary to make some cut In forces al
the end of this month and others
from time to time thereafter till q
minimum Of 1000 is. reached. THAI
might not come till toward the enc
OF the calendar year.

The farmer uses trucks because
they place him within easy reach
Of the markets 80 that. when mar
ket conditions are favorable. he
may deliver. from heretofore iso-
lated territory, produce. in better
condition than by other means Of
transportation. Trucks deliver
live stock with less shrinkage than
by train. The quickness Of motor
transportation increases the time
available for farm work. Trucks
are the only possible means Of
giving complete, quick service on
long and short hanls. The growth
Of cities has pushed the producer
many miles from market. out Of the
path Of trains. Trucks I'LL the gap
formed. 1t is the rapid transit ma
chine Of the age. In the face Of
constantly increasing routes~ It is
evident that the truck serves a field
not satisfactorily covered by other
means. We are now In new high
way transportation era.
The possibilities Of the future for
trucks are SO great and vast rs to
almost be termed limitless. Every
form of business Is yielding to its
favorable points; manufactures.
distributor, expressman. farmer,
engineer, contractor, lumberman-
all have found its advantages.
Trucks represent progress in the
field Of transportation. Every new

points ahead to steady and ire
mendous growth Of motor trans
portation that will bring with 1t
prosperity and better standard Of
