FLETCHER USES LINAMENT
ON SALIDA'S SORE SPOTS

The lecturer Thomas Brooks Fletch-
er, certainly stirred up the old dry
bones of a number of Colorado towns.
as one can observe by reading the ex-
changes. Some folks in Montrose got
50 mad that they wrote long letters
denouncing him to the newspapers.
Here is what he did to Salida as re-
ported in the Salida Mail:
"Thomas Brooks Fletcher, plat
form lecturer of national fame, brot
the lyceum course to a close Wednes-
day night at the high school audito-
rum with stirring lecture. In fact,
he just stirred and stirred.
"He asked the high school students
at the lecture how many of them ex-
pected to stay in Salida. Not a hand
went up. Wow!
"He asked those who expected to
leave town as soon as possible to
hold up their hands. Every hand went
up. Ouch!
"He asked the students how many
of them had catalogs from mail order
houses. The result of the election
showed that the catalog houses had a
catalog in the homes of all but 40
students-Mercy sakes!
Mr.. Fletcher went right on-but
why continue the agony.
"As direct result of Mr.. Fletcher's
lecture everybody in Salida who has
pride in his home town will take the
advice he gave and which has been
given by many other lecturers here.
They will get rid of the Community
Deadheads" and go to work in earnest
for the good of Salida- You bet they
will-Not."

danger of n demagouge like johnson

siding with the West and in this in
stance it will be well for this country

FAILURE OF TANK STEAMER DEPARTMENT

New York, Nov. 1S.-FNailnre of the tank steamer department of the United States shipping board to utilize it's fleet of bulk oil carriers for the needs of the shipping board vessels caused loss to the government of ss,6oo,ooo in one month Martin J. Giiien testified here to- day before the Walsh congressional com rnittee inquiring into the shipping board transactions. Gilien was special assistant to former Chairman John Barton Payne last May when he said the alleged dereiic- tiof1 occurred
 The tank steamer department had 54 vessels, he added. Of these, 20 were in the hands of private operators. It was discovered on May 26 last 54 vessels were tied up at southern ports for lack of fuel oil, and in addition 40 per cent. of the operators were buying oil on the open market for s4 to s6 a barrel At the same time so per cent of the oil we were carrying in our ships WAS furnished at $2,07 barrel.
 Gillen further testified that this condi- tion of affairs was disclosed through com plaints of two operators. Captain Paul l Foley was then head of the tank steamer l department. he said, and ''it was ascer- tained he did not know that ships were compelled to buy oil at a higher price ! than could have been furnished by the board" Captain Foley, he added, wal later relieved of his duties as head of thu tank steamer department
 In response to question by Congress
 man Kelley. Gillen said Foley was nov director of operations of the boards ef
 tire fleet of more than HOO ships, includ ing the ta1kers.
 -i A chart that was made of the tan
 steamer department, Gilien testifie
 showed that 33 were in government se o vice and others in seni-private and of l. cial work Some were operated for Il '- benefit of public utilities and some in u
 service of supplying oil for shipping boal fuel stations abroad, Among the operate he named the Standard Oil companies
 New York, the Vacuum Oil company, A iantic Refining company, American Flu
 oil Transportation company, Island c

short of tankers. On the open market; such ships were being chartered at from s15 to s22 a deadweight ton, he said.
 The shipping board was leasing its tankers, he added, to private companies at from $6.15 to $6.50 ton.
 The tankers were described as the only floating property this government then owned on which a profit could have been made" The witness declared nd one in the entire division of operations knew that such a large percentage of our ships were buying oil in The open market at advanced prices, because the operating division did not know what one of it's chief departments were doing.
 Concluding his two days testimony re- lating mainly to the alleged lack Sf an accounting system by the board prior to the advent of Judge Payne, MT. Gillen outlined, at the request of the committee, what he termed recommendations as to constructive program"
 He said that the board had too many operators of it's ships who created not only an unnecessary overhead expense but who caused losses by bidding against | each other for shipping board business
 He said the present 176 operators should l not be cut to more than 50.
 He asserted the new shipping board be | tions, of the proble moi sales, and of tn, liquidation of old accounts. To do this
 he explained, congress should create small liquidating corporation made up o five 'big'' business men, the corporatio
 to be non-polticaI in it's makeup. The shipping board then should be s organized that each of the six member , aside from the chairman should have
 definite line of work, for which he woul !. be responsible, such as the problerns\ docks and docking alterations, repai e and similar matters. The main idea a his suggestion he said was to enable Il I board now appointed to go ahead al s function for the ful'e.
 f The witness also declared he was n = in favor of governn ent operation of shI ] any more than he wa sin favor of oth li departments of the government, includh l. the war and navy departments, handlii
