Explaining ch-Cummins Act

Question-WouId you be kind enough to
snug hten me on the 2 p.ovison of the Esch-
Cunmlns act relative to rail subsidies? In
other words. as I understand it, a railroad
over operating expense before II re-
ceive subsidy. For example, the North
e'a Pacific company earns, Will say, q
surplus OF per cent over operating
charges. Does it then receive per cent
additional, making per cent available for
dividend requirements? own eighty
shares Of Maine Central Railroad stock
winch has just passed its dividend The
rate has been per cent on the common.
Does the operating account OF this road
ana Is K entitled to any subsidy from the
governnent?--R S
Answer-The Esch- -Cummins law pro-
vldes for no subsidy to the railroads.
The law in brief, is as follows: The
Interstate Commerce Commission is to
form the roads into groups and rates
are TO be established which viii, in the
opinion of the commission, give re-
turn of u per cent or 6 per cent on
the property valuation of each group
Anything over per cent earned by
carrier is to be divided equally between
the road and the government. There is
no subsidy or guaranty. If it is found
that rates are not sufficiently high to
give this return an appeal is made to
the commission What will be done
then is a question. It would appear
that either the commissions valuation
is too low or rates are too low. The
government has nothing 20 do with
dividends. That is the railroads affair

Canadian Pacific for a Business Man

Question-Win you be kind enough to
give ME your opinion on Allis Chalmers
preferred and Canadian Pacific Railway as
investments for business man having
about $4,000? understand Canadian Pa
;itis has barely been earning its dividends
under the old rates. but that an increase
is about 70 be granted by the Canadian
government similar to, the increase that
was granted the railroads IN this country.
H. X. 5.
Answer--For business man who is
able to maintain himself and his fam
lily we regard Allis-Chalmers preferred
and Canadian Pacific as very fair in
vestments. The former shows good
margin of earnings over dividends,
while the latter has great intrinsic
value. To be sure the Canadian Pa
cite Railway has not shown great
margin over dividend requirements, but
we believe the Dominion will give the
railroads a square deal

ably refers to the selling Of ones Sc

tax on sales. The difference between
the price paid for your security and
the price at which you sell (if lower)

DO GOOD WORK IN
ATHLETIC MEET
Win Over Elkton by Score of
63-33 on Saturday

An athletic meet between teams
from Newark and Elkton High

The local contestants showed
plenty of pep" and determination
to win. The same spirit has char
acterized, the preliminary work
which has been done largely by
the boys themselves with occas-
ional direction from Superintend-
ent Phineas Morris. Paul Steel
has been particularly active in
getting the track and field teams
into good shape.
In Saturdays meet, Newark
was the winner by a score of 63

Opera House Offerings
Big Dane, Famous Dog Actor Here
MAY |

May
There are few better known dogs
anywhere than Teddy, the famous
Dane appearing in the Paramount
Mack Sennett comedies. Every
child in the country knows Teddy
and his side partner, that cele-
brated feline known as Pepper.
The two are inseparable compan-
ions and they will be seen again
in the new Paramount-Mack Sem
nett comedy, "Reilly's Wash Day."
which will be feature Of the bill
at the Opera House next Saturday,
May 1st.~
This comedy is an excellent one,
the story having to do with the
fortunes of a lazy plumber and the
tribulations Of his wife who has to
take in washing in order to pro-
vide for her family. 1t happens
that the very spot where she hangs
up her wash, has been chosen by
the children of the neighborhood
as site for a circus and there are
riotous scenes when Teddy gets
into action and disperses the
crowd, doing terrible things to
that clothes-line.
A typical Darby and Joan love
story has been woven into Mabel.
Normand's latest Goldwyn photo
ply, "Jinx." The matron of an
orphans home, Aunt Tina Ger
trude Claire), has been delicately
and gently refusing to marry
Judge Jepson (Clarence Arper)
for so many years that they have
both acquired soft wrinkles and
white hair. The arrival of bank
rupt circus and the escape of the
Jinx mabel Normand) start the
elimination of the old-time ro-
nance.
This will be shown at the Opera
House next Friday, April 80.

the Atlantic Ocean just off Chesa-

little over three thousand acres,
and up to a very short time ago
was in the same wild state of cul-
tivation as it was when the Ameri-
can continent was discovered. Mr.
Dixon has erected a thirty-seven
room castle on one of it's peaks
which he uses as his summer home
The island abounds with game
and is used as hunting preserve
for Mr.. Dixon and his friends.
