means-a highway equal to that
of the Lewiston scenic highway,
all the distance from Moscow to

road can be travelled almost the

WHY NOT
There are 100000 railv

There are 100000 railway
employees in u. S. whose incomes
average over 81 500 per year. If
they save $50 per year each they
could buy control of New York
Central system In one year, of
Baltimore & Ohio and Erie to-
gether in less time, and of all
through lines between Chicago
and New York within five years.
The National City Bank offers
this suggestion as a substitute
for the Plumb plan, and it can be
adapted for application to the
other industries, and save the
proposed revolution advocated by
radical leaders in order that in
dustry be turned over to the
workers.

Wheat gamblers have forced
the price of wheat down almost
so cents a bushel since gambling
in futures was reopened on July
Is. 1t will not be long until
those who contended that gov
eminent control of the grain
market robbed the farmer" will
be bowling for government con-
troll again. Wheat has fallen
1917, 31a, 49, and Ia cents in
four days of gamblino, yet the
quality of the wheat has not
been changed, nor has the
worlds demands for bread de-
creased one iota. The price of
flour has not declined, and bread
still sells for II cents a loaf.
Who gets the difference of Sc
cents a bushel taken from the
price paid the farmer Surely
the consumer gets none of it.

ADVANCE IN RAIL
RATES REQUESTED

Washington--To provide an addi'
tional revenue necessary to meet the
$500. 00O, 900 increase in wages awarded
by the railway labor board. the rail
ways of the country proposed to the
interstate commerce commission that
passenger rates be advanced 20 per
cent and freight rates. 9.13 per cent.
In addition to the 27.6 per cent pre-.
viously requested. They also proposed
that a surcharge OF SO per cent be
made on Pullman fares; that excess
baggage rates be increased 20 per cent
and that milk tariffs be increased to
the same level as freight rates.
Should the full increases proposed
and those previously asked for be
granted existing freight rates would
be advanced 1863 per cent and the ma.
tons freight bill would be increased
by 1885 .370.675.
The total which would be added TO
the passenger revenue under the rail
way executives plan would be $3.50
S27,9S2 annually. Pullman charges
would go up $43,639,344 a year; the
revenue on milk would be increased
$500 .Oss and excess baggage charges
would be advanced by $l.420,9s5.
The plan advanced by the railroad
executives disclosed that they had esti-
mated the wage award at approximate
ly 1925 .000. 900 instead OF the 5000 900. :
900 figured by the labor board.

We thought reconstruction"

We thought reconstruction"
was too strong a word to apply
to the United States in the after

considered more appropriate.
Personally we believe recon

strong to express the nature of
the work before us. And re-
construction, after all, is some
thing more than a mere subject
to talk about. 1t is something
Notwithstanding big and
