BY JAMES f. FERGUSON. Former
Governor of Texas.
A little company is drilling for oil
just 80 miles east of Houston. Last
week it bought a car of fuel oil in
Houston to be shipped to Sheeks, just
80 miles. The oil cost S1.00 barrel,
or 5000. The railroad charged S75
freight to haul the car 80 miles. In
other words, the railroad charged
nearly 40 per cent of the value of
freight to haul it 80 miles. No Won
der there is no business.
"A man is a fool to think that as
long as this legalized robbery is per-
mitted that any sane man is going to
try to do business. saw this car ar
rive and for curiosity l counted the
number of cars in the train. There
were 80 cars. Then I made a mental
calculation, and multiplying the
freight charges of S75 on one car for
80 miles by 80, the number of cars in
the train, and to my great astonish-
ment I realized that one railroad
train had, at the rate charged made
$4,000 for hauling train just 80
miles As a freight train can easily
make 80 miles an hour, l was further
staggered by the fact that for the
use of one freight train the railroad
was getting $4,000 an hour.
These are cold-blooded facts, and
I dare any railroad official to deny it..

INTERESTING STORY ON
THE GERMAN MARK

During the past year there has
been a steady decline in the ex-
change value of foreign coin, especi-
ally the German mark. The Teuton
medium of exchange has been men
| toned more than any other foreign
coin because of the low duty on Ger
man goods into this county when
figured on the value of the mark as
based on the value of American mon
ey. Another reason why the German
mark is closely watched as its value
decreases, is because there are more
than thirty individuals and institu-
tions in Grand Junction that have in
vested in this specie, for speculation,
hoping that it would return to some
where its original value.
Relative to the purchasing power
of the German mark as compared
with the American standard the fol-
lowing story told Mr.. Steinmann,
president of the bond firm of Stein
mann, Gammers & Co., of Denver,
IS VI INTEREST," ne CdDleu ITlenu

men when she arrived there from the
United States, about the 18th of Sep
tember, and accompany her back to
Berlin.
This the friend did and the follow
ing items make up the expense ac-
count rendered by the friend to Mr..
Steinmann and for which he pur-
chased German marks to repay:

When it is considered that the
above amount of marks could have
been purchased on that date for
S11.20 U. S. money, you can readily
see the purchasing power of the Ger
man mark is far smore in Germany
than in this country. The distance
from Berlin to Bremen is near 300
miles. From this it will be seen that
the three people travelled and paid
railroad fare for a distance of ap-
proximately 900 miles, How far
could you get in the U. S. on that
amount?-Grand Junction News.

| America has had distinguished
visitors since the time of the ar.
rival Of Columbus but probably
never in its four hundred odd years
of existence has 1t held on It's soil
such a group as was brought to-
gether last month In Kansas City.
There, at the annual convention of
the American Legion, four of the
greatest fighting men of all time
were met by fifth man of arms so
that the group comprised Ferdi-
nand Foch, Marshal of France !;
Generalissimo Armando Vittorio

Chief of the Belgian Army, and
General John ]. Pershing.
When the American Legion was
founded In Paris In the days fol-
lowing the armistice, one of the
fundamental reasons for its or
ganization was to perpetuate the
friendly alliance that prevailed
among nations during the war.
Therefore, as soon as the military

night at $3.50 o'clock.
Central committeeman in charge
of the membership rejuvenation
campaign expressed their belief
that the new goal OF 1900 members
could be reached by the end Of the
week.
The records show that there are
well over 200 more men and wom-

doubleday want to Join the new
chamber, but who have so far been
unable to due to the fact that they
have been out of the city; have not
been able to interview or be inter-
viewed by the membership sales
men or who, being old chamber
members, have been under the i'm
preston that the drive was only for
new members and that, as present
members, they need not sign up
now.
A meeting Of the central COM
mittee will be held at the end of
the week and a complete check
made and report compiled of the
results of the drive. The report
will be ready for publication Sun
day morning.

We'll, chairman of the regeneration
committee, stated last night. THE
list will show that almost every
family in the city has at least one
active booster for Albuquerque and
for its natural civic organization,
the chamber of commerce"
The great number of workers
who have taken part in the drive
at various times since It started,
has resulted in many persons be-
coming acquainted in a business
and social way who had never be-
fore even known each other.
IF the only result of the drive
was this cementing Of friendships,
the drive would be a success" one
Of the central committee members
declared yesterday when discuss
ing this phase of the campaign.
At the meeting to be held by the
central committee at the end of the
week, detailed plans relative to
berships, the methods of cleo

chamber activities for the year will |
be arranged and the committee will |
