Stabilizing Credit

It is the general opinion that
with REIMBURSEMENT of federal
control of railroads, nothing is
more essential than sterilization
of railroad credit
In adjustment Of current ac-
counts and Indebtedness due the
Government for expenditures
tor betterments and improve
ments, il is essential that credit
be arranged whereby the roads
concerned may effect liquidation
without financial hardship. This
may well be effected by Offset
ting current accounts, and, on
proper security, extending credit
for the uncovered balance. Elk.
penditures for betterments and
improvements or for equipment
when requested by the road con-
cerned should on proper security
be funded at a reasonable rate
of interest for an appropriate
period, say 10 or Is years.
This will properly take care of
immediate credit so far as the
Government is concer ned, but
how about the broader aspects of
railroad credit for the future
and in general?
Something more must be done
to put railroad credit and finances
on a sound basis.
The past is usually a good
guide, and to this end we may
profit by inves tigation and avoid
ance of the causes which before
the wal impaired railroad credit,
practically stopped construction
and improvement, and brought
the whole transportation system
face to face with disaster.
Undoubtedly one of the chief
causes for this is our homogeneous
plan of regulation. Notwithstand-
ing approximately five-sixths of
all traffic transported by rail is
interstate and under the eXclu-
sive jurisdiction of the Interstate
Commerce Commission we have
48 state commissions all e~xercis-
ing regulatory authority, all ma
turally selfish on local questions,
all with conflicting views and in
~terests. For example, not in
frequently instances have arisen
where to obey a law or order Of
one state meant to violate a law
or order of another.
This archaic method of rpgula-
ton should be abandoned and
full and complete jurisdiction
lodged in the Interstate Com
merce Commission, for with its
enlarged powers no more reason
obtains for state regulation Of the
postal 81 stem.
Another cause is lack If in
demnity of investors against
strikes. Thus far Congress has
passed no law effectively safe
guarding railway investors or the
general public from the strike
menace. Railroad strikes are a
public menace. When millions
of people suffer ~hardships and
~privation from any serious tie-up.
such strikes assume criminal pro-
portions and are no longer toler.
able. A bureau of adjustment
should be established to settle
controversies between the EN-.
ployees and management and
strikes and lockouts should alike
be prohibited.
There may be other phases.
hut IL congress desires to make a
good and right start in STABILIZE
ing railroad credit and insuring
the public against decentralization
of their transportation service,
here is its opportunity.

TOCLAIM
UNsOUND Mind?
Nan Thought To Be Slayer Of
Swearingen Has Been in Asylum
Acts Queer Now.

Russell Wood. alias "Brickey"
Wood, alias Robert Greene, alias
Walter Clark of Augusta, who is
thought to have been one of the two
men who shot Robert Swearingen,
after holding up a poker game in
the Swearingen room in the Wright
building on south College avenue,
in Aledo early in the morning of
Sept. 16, will probably base his de-
tense ON q claim of insanity, ac-
cording to Sheriff John P. Fleming.
Sheriff Fleming stated this morn
ing that Wood admits planning the
holdup, but denies being one of the
pair who entered Swearingen's
room. Wood declared that he will
base his defense on the question of
sanity. according to Sheriff Flem-
ing. This statement was made aft
er a visit by Charles Hartzell of
Carthage, a noted criminal attor-
|ney. Wood declares that he is sub
tect to attacks Of mental dearrange-
ment, during which he is not re-
sponsible for his actions. Sheriff
Fleming stated that Wood was dis
charged from the navy because OF
an unsound mind. The prisoner has
also been confined in the asylum al
Jacksonville, Ill.
Following the release of Frank
Boiling from custody last Saturday
under $1,000 bonds, the authorities
have been working on the theory
that Wood is the mysterious Red,
Of whom the four prisoners had
talked. and that one of the others
I Of the four might possibly be the
Abe Rubenstein, of whom no trace
has been found. The four men who
were in the room when the holduI
occurred and who partially identi
fed Wood as one of the gunner
declared that they had never seer
any of the other prisoners before.
When the trial comes up in De-
cember it is expected that Wood will
be one Of the sensational figures
/ 1t is said that he has wealthy rela
tives and friends \ no are planning
to bring expert criminal attorneys
here for his defense.

OPEN BIDS FOR
REpAINTINe OF
RESERVE TANK


Bids for the repainting Of the Sill
Wis water reservoir, will be opened
Friday and Saturday Of this week.
according to plans passed on by the
Silvis city council at its meeting
last night. Paint will be furnished
by the city and the contractors who
are awarded the job will be expect
ed to do the work and furnish their
own apparatus.
Monday closed the 17-day period
in which water rents for the last
six months would be collected at a
10 per cent discount. The water
commissioner reported that practi-
cally all residents had taken adj
vantage OF the reduction and that
$4,000 had been collected. This
amount is considerably more than
was collected in several months
prior to the passing of the 10 per
cent reduction ordinance.
Laying of sidewalks along Fiji
teenth avenue was discussed, but
the council decided to let the matter
wait until next spring when paw
ing operation will be begun. Both
projects were supposed to have
been completed this fall but owing
to the delay of the Mccarthy Con-
struction company to which the
paving contract was awarded, both
have been abandoned until early
spring. Instructions were given the
street and alley committee to re-
pair roads and clean alleys in prep.
aration for winter. Some sections
Of the highways leading to the city
over which much heavy hauling is
done at this season OF the year, will
have to be filled in.
