Too generous praise cannot be
given, Red Cross officials say, to
many county superintendents of
schools throughout the state who bore
the burden of organizing their coun-
ties along Junior Red Cross lines.
Campaign officials say that it is due in
large measure to the unsparing, IN
selfish efforts of the men that the
schools of many counties throughout
the Southwestern Division have en-
rolled 100 per cent in the Junior Red
Cross.
Plans for the forthcoming year in
this branch Of the Red Cross organ
ization include the following projects:
COOPERATION with children's hospitals
and child welfare agencies in enter
tainment and recreation of patients !;
aiding in distributing free milk and
ice in summer and hot soups and
broths in winter; establishing dental
clinics; cleanup campaigns and pro-
vision of sanitary drinking cups and
drinking fountains.

cause of Mr.. Wille's utilization with
the Fort Hays Normal. The two art

RED CROSS NOTES

The Ellis County Chapter of the
Red Cross today received advices
from Red Cross officials at headquar-
ters of the Southwestern Division at
St Louis declaring that the Junior
Rel Cross drive which began last
October has gone cover the top" in its
campaign to enroll the school children
of America.
More than 100000 school chill
dren in the division including thou
sands Of young persons of high school
age, viii have become Junior Red
Crcssers when final returns are in, it
was said. To date 952,132 children
in 1870 schools have enrolled. The
total number of school children in
the five states comprising the South
western Missouri, Kansas,
Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma-is
2,115,6 500 and the number of schools
totals 44,693. 1t will be seen from
these figures that approximately one
ou5 of every two school pupils joined
the Junior Red Cross.
The Junior Red Gross membership
follows: Texas, 347,2O1; Missouri,
298. 858; Kansas, 146,578; Oklahoma,
is divided among the five states as
1C7, 346; Arkansas, 52,149. The en-
roIlment of thousands of additional
pupils is expected during the next

mitted is that the whole country-th0
farmer, the manufactures, the pro-
ducers of all sections must enter
equally with the shipping men into the
boosting OF the merchant marine, if we
are to keep it going.
It is pointed out that between three
and four billions are invested in these
ships and that under proper conditions
shipping securities should be attrac-
tive investments to the people at large,
whereas now they are rarely thought
of.
As to ways and means of accomplish
ing the desired end. the testimony OF
practical shipowners has been sought
by the senators. These views have
been placed before the committee in
the concentrated form of a statement
from the American Steamship Owners
Association, an organization including
virtually all the American firms own

companies, but the great majority be-

RAILROAD TALK

On Monday morning at midnight
the railroads of the United States
passed from the Government to Priv
ate ownership without a hitch. This
after twenty-four months in the
hands of the Government as a war
measure
Of course the railroad officials
claim that the roads had all gone to
rack and ruin during the time of gov
eminent control. However, Govern
ment Railroad Director Hines, in his
final report to the President said:
"While it has been impossible for the
Government to add much rolling
stock to the railroad equipment dur
ing its controls since every factory,
machine shop and mandatory were
busy making Army supplies, but the
road-bed, the general railroad facil-
tiles are far better than ever, and far
better than if the railroads them
selves had the control of the road dur
ing the war, while it is conceded it
was the railroads, under Government,
did much to win the war. But the
expense caused by it is simply to be
charged as part of the War Expenses;
and it is conceded that it will be years
before the Railroads will come back
to normal conditions as before the
war, but this is the case of every bust
ness in this whole United States"
Last week we told of the new en-
gines to be purchased by the Union
PPacifc Railroad. Also last weeks
papers tell that the Santa Fe Rail-
road got permission of the State Util-
ity Board of Kansas to spend over
eight million dollars on new equip
ment, road work, new trackage, thou
sands of freight cars, and hundreds
of improvements that were stopped
by the war. Topeka shops will get
1929, 100000 of the budget Every
thing possible viii be done to make
the road the best in Kansas. Addi-
tional trackage is absolutely neces-
sary if the volume Of increased
freight and passenger service is to be
made effective. J. c. Holt, a prom
inent railroad official, says in regard
to the roads returning to private own
ership: "a railroad boom is sure to
come, how soon will depend on the
money market. The loss of work the
past two years, and failure to keep up
with the advance of the country, must
be met soon as possible. Before the
war the Santa Fe constructed $50 to
200 miles of new track per year. Dur
ing the war it built less than fifty
miles Of track, new track being built
only where imparatively necessary"
The new railroad law requires the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
pass on all extra expenses as to stock,
building, and general expenses and
until the roads get back to their nor

Senators WrestIe With Problem.
Nineteen senators on the COmmerc.
Committee are wrestling with the prot
lem of what to do with these ships In
Guided in the nineteen are five fire.:
Middle Western states statesmen WI:
understand the needs both of the pro
ducerS of the great grain and MANI
featuring states, and also the prime
pies on which ships must be manage
If they are to show a profit and kec
the seas in competition with the We
sells of other nations
These midwest senators are Sher
man OF Illinois, Nelson of Minnesota
Reed of Missouri. Harding of Ohio, an
Lenroot of Wisconsin.
The gravest question before the
senators is how to get the government
out of the business of managing the q
ships into which it got during the Y. =
It is taken for granted by Congr,.-y
that the government should now :-..s
out of the shipping business, just -.
it is getting out Of the railroad bU,'-
ness, now that peace is here
The main business before the se'
tors is to provide means for selling IT,
government-Ownedt tonnage of the v:
new merchant fleet to American bl :
ness men. and to pass legislation go
der which the ships can overcome
competition of England and other /
ropean nations that are straining ev, y
nerve to drive the new American c,s..i-
merce fleets from the ocean.
"Now Is the Accepted Time"
The view Of the senator's on the
posal to sell the ships was very
expressed the other day by Ser 49,
Knute Nelson of Minnesota, who a
end of a long session on the subjeri a:
the sale remarked:
GIN the language of holy writ, y =.

The witness then before the commit
tee. a shipping man from New Yo;iz

II armerS delivery wagons of the new
carry from 1900 to 1900 tons OF
for ton, approaching that of shipOwn-
ers under other flags
The unit of value in a ship is the
lightweight ton; that Is, ship is worth
so much for every ton it will carry.
The average war cost OF the merchant
fleet is believed to be less than 5000
ton, but the United States Shipping
Board, which has charge of the vessels,
has been trying to get more than that
for them, with very few sales.
Mr. Raymond told the senators a fair
price was 500 a ton, and the differ
ence should be charged off as part of
our expense in winning the war and
making the continuance of American
prosperity possible.
Competing With the English.
It is only by putting some such yalu-
alton on the ships that they can be
operated at a profit against the Eng
liSh merchant marine, the representa-
tive of the shipowners said To at
tempt competition on trade routes of
the world with England's formida-
bic fleet, said Mr.. Raymond, on a war
cost basis for American ships would
prove disastrous. To prove his point
the witness submitted figures covering
the charges against capital invested in
two ships of 10000 tons capacity each,
one under the English flag, valued at
500 a ton, the other under the Ameri-
can flag, for sale by the Shipping Board
at 1920 d ton. These figures showed {:
Annual interest charges at per cent
on capital invested, English $50, 600,
American $4,000; annual deprecia-
ton, at per cent, English $50, 600,
American $4,000; Insurance, English
$4,000, American $4,000; totals, Eng.
lish annual charges 100000, American
$2S6,000 difference in favor of tbs
English vessel. S156,000.
To Keep Up American Wages.
Wages on an American ship of the
size noted, said the witness, amount to
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year
more than on the British ship. There
is no disposition to scale down Ameri-
can wages; but to meet the added
charge the shipowners believe they
should be allowed to charge off 10 per
cent annually as depreciation on their
ships before paying their income tax
To encourage a continuance of ship
building in American yards, the ship
owners proposed this plan to the SEN
ators: That ships bought from the
government and kept under the Ameri
can flag in foreign commerce be e0.
empted from federal excess profit
taxes, on condition that an amount
equivalent to such exemption be in
vested by the owner of the ships in
additional vessels, to be built in Amer.
lean yards.
In response to a question from q
senator if this was government aid to
shipping, Mr. Raymond made this
reply:
"Of ali our great national industries
American shipowning and shipbuildins
for overseas commerce have been left
without aid and encouragement from
the government-other industries, as
We all know, having long been protect.
ed in some degree by our national tariff
laws. We submit that it must be &C.
knowledged that ocean Shipbuildins
and navigation are as much entitled as
any other Industries to some form OF
national aid against foreign compett
ton"
