DENoUNCEs DELAY IN LOANS.
Federal Treasury Makes Railway Sit
uation Worse Says Age.

1.-The general business situation is
unsatisfactory, and the federal treas
ury department is helping to make il
worse by the policy it is following in
reference to government loans to the
railroads and payments to the roads
on account of the deficits incurred by
them during the first six months, of
private operation" says the current is
sue of the Railway Age. The Age in
it's criticism of the situation further
says:
1.-The transportation act provides for
loans of $500, 100000 to the railroad
companies, which were to be made
upon the certification of the inter-
state commerce commission. The
treasury department held that certain
of the loans certified by the commits
sion were not in technical compliance
with the law, and therefore they have
been held up. The deficits incurred by
the companies in the first six months
Of private operation, during which the
guaranteed standard return was con-
tinued under the provisions of the
transportation act, aggregated about
60,000,000.
"The interstate commerce commits
sion was authorized by the law to GER
tify to the treasury department the
amounts which it should pay to the
companies under this guarantee. Only
about. $234 600, 900 on account of the
deficits had been paid when the guar
antee period expired on Sept. 1, 1920.
1t was assumed that further INSTALL
ments could and would be paid under
certificates issued by the commission
before the total amounts of the deficits
of the individual roads had been ascer-
tanned. The controller of the treasury
has, however, advised the secretary of
the treasury that payments on account
of the deficits can now be made only
after carrier has submitted its entire
claim under the guarantee, and the
commission has ascertained the
amount due thereon The result is
that the balance of over $500, 1000, 900
due under the guarantees is being
held up.

TO MAKE EN- SAFE
Nation Wide Campaign Started
Against Railroad Crossings.
All States To Be Asked for
New Laws.

Washington, Nov. 27.-A campaign
for the passage of laws in all states
requiring better protection of railroad
grade crossings is to be carried on by
members of the association of state
railway and utility commissions.
which recently held it's annual con-
vention here.
A special committee appointed to
investigate the whole subject said the
elimination of all grade crossings in
the United States would probably
cost as much as all the railroads are
worth" 1t recommended laws re-
protected by an approach warning
sign. placed in the highway at dis
lance not less than 800 feet from each
side of the railroad track. The sign
should be a circular di * not less than
"a inches in diameter, and properly
lighted at night If DENIED necessary.
Railroad companies would be re-
quired to maintain within the limits of
their rights of way proper cautionary
signs. to be equipped with red light
at night where necessary. Other pro-
visions of the law include:
Crossing tlagmen to use during the
day a uniform disk l 6 inches in dame
ter painted white with a black border
ana the word "Stop" painted thereon
in black letters about five inches high.
Crossing gates to be painted with
altt rnate diagonal stripes of black and
white.
Railroad property at grade crossings
to be maintained free from obstruc-
tions to vision. and highway ap-
proaches to be graded so as to permit
free passage of vehicles.
Automobile drivers to come to
full stop at crossings not protected by
gates or a flagman.
Between four thousand and five
thousand persons are killed each year
from trespassing upon railroad prop
ertv and as many more injured. the
committee said in urging passage of
laws making such trespassing misde-
meanor punishable by fine or impris-
Onment.

INCREASE IN FLOUR INDUSTRY.
Gain of f5,577,549 Barrels of Flour Is
Reported During Year.


The flour milling industry in the
state of Kansas has increased during
the past year, in spite of the reported
lack of grain movement from the
farms of the state, according to figures
which have been compiled by the
Northwestern Miller" a trade journal,
and published in the last issue of THE
Earth" Santa Fe publication.
statistics show that in the crop
year ending June 80, 1920, Kansas
flour mills ground 72,024,34 bushels
of wheat in producing 1857, 549 bar
rels of flour" says the Earth.
The flour production exceeds the
previous high record output made in
the crop year ended June 80, 1919, by
2,306,356 barrels; it is almost 5000, 600
barrels greater than the 1917-1S out
put, and represents an increase of
more than SO per cent over the output
of ten years ago.
1.-The figures cited cover only the
output of interior Kansas mills. ter
minal mills at Kansas City, located on
the Kansas side of the state line, not
being included. Were these four inn
portant Kansas mills included in the
Kansas figures, the total output of the
states mills would be increased to
about 100000 barrels"
There are 206 active flour mills IN
Kansas, according to figures gathered
by the Santa Fe, three mills having
been added since the previous year.
The total daily capacity of the mills
of the state is $3.50 barrels, which is
APIS barrels greater than the daily
capacity of all the mills year The
increase in capacity is accomplished
not only thru the building of more
mills, but by enlargement of the mills
already built. Within the year the
number of mills in Kansas with a
capacity of 1000 or more barrels OF
flour a day was increased by four
