Competitive Transportation

In his address of Friday President Titconlb of the Southern Pacific complained of the governments subsidy of the competitors of the railroads-the called merchant marine. of inland water ways, improved at great cost the government and the trucks which, plying upon roads, absorb large part of the short haul traffic of the railroads
 As to the subsidy of the merchant marine it is only question whether we merchant marine them literally Our substituting process has been a reduced We will agree though that merchant vessels be made up by taxation. We think too that those ships should pay Panama canal toll And we think that inland waterways should be maintained at the fic which the railroads sometimes claim they cannot move because of shortages.
 But vessels inland waterways should be made lures the government has made, not only because that is duty owed to taxpayers but because the roads should be freed from unfair competition.
 With still greater reason should truck transporta- tion paved roads be made to pay to states and counties which pay high for tue paving reason able bills for the privilege of using roads which they themselves do to destroy than any other agency. Tbe the toll levied upon them should be based in part upon their the roads and in part upon a reasonable charge by the rail- roads for similar service.
 We should not though, withdraw a reasonable encouragement of our merchant marine, or impose such tolls transportation inland water way traffic would the abandonment of any of these means of transportation.

LARDNER WEEKLY LETTER


tattoo ear marker. This is a high price gift as it costs $5.75, but is well worth the price for a man that is satisfied with his own ears and don't want to get them mixed up with nobody else's at the club, theater, etc. According to the book. "the tattoo mark is made with indelible tattoo oil and is an absolute means of identification and lasts as long as the animal lives and may be clearly read at any time. A set of three let ters F inch square goes with each marker" Extra letters can be bought separate and one bottle of the oil will mark 500 different ears. so even aft CT the husband ears was marked you could give big tattoo parties and send all the guests home with their ears marked.
 Front carrier. I was going to pass for fat husbands only, but the pie ture shows a kind of wire basket that packages can be carried in it and it is supposed to go on a bicycle, but they's no reason why it couldn't be fastened on the person and they could fill it with letters, parcels, ci- gars and etc, which men usually carries in their pocket and gets their clothes all out of shape.
 The front carriers sells for SIPS, and for any lady that wants to spend that much O. her husbands money on him I cant think of no more unique gift.

ing for. eight-hour day. Senator Underwood de- cared in the senate that was eight-ho law but law to increase wages. That, he said, had been admitted him by leaders of labor The act had been hurredly introduced into the house by Mr. Adamson of Georgia the request of the president, August 29, 1916 also hurriedly passed and to the senate where an amendment by MT. Underwood to leave the fixing of hours and wages with the interstate commerce commission jected. On account of the imminence of a strike or
 strike that the president thought imminent, the bill passed by the senate and Sunday was signed by the president.
 The Republican then said Of it:
 The law was enacted under compulsion. Congress was given hours to pass it under penalty of dls- ruption of the countrys business and congress and the president performed. Legislation obtained in this way is undemocratic and bad whether enacted for small group of privileged interests or for a larger group of workers. The law surrender to force against arbitration It be that legis- iation is necessary create machinery to enforce arbitration decisions But the hope of society, in industrial disputes in arbitration instead of The presidents action in forcing the Adamson law was heavy blow at the of industrial peace.
 Then came the taking of the roads year later and the successive demands the workers higher and higher increases of wages and for the national agreements burdensome than the wage increases. To all these demands the administration yielded It could not close the door opened by the Adamson law. It preserved industrial pecae only by successive surrenders
 While we concede the accuracy of Mr.. Titcombs tracing of the woes of the railroads back to the Adamson law. mindful that the burdens which accumulated during administration control do not all rest them They have been relieved at many points. but they have somehow not exhibited their oldtme capacity self management the lack of which is the of many of their present bes in the face of the fact they allowed to raise their rates and wages of their employees.
 When their properties returned to them at the beginning of last year there was returned with them something that might have been turned by the roads to their advantage-the sympathy and good will public. We regret to say that much of this has been disspated.

There nothing, of course in that declaration All the world that things were going badly with the allies. while they fighting the Germans three fronts, Northern and Southern France and Italy. under three separate leaders British French and Italian with Americans brigaded among the allied troops. rather a question when the Germans would break thruogh than whether they would break through. unified command the German horde rolled back quickly.
 The point made by Marshal Foch was that if much could be accomplished in war. which is only end, by unification, how much di- rectly may the end be attained by unity for
 The formula for maintaining peace. said the marshal is the same as that for attaining by unity.
 We have peace now, the peace for which fought, but there is other in the world That. said the marshal is because there is economic order.
 .The treaty was signed. but world peace is not established today because there is economic order in the world All of the business men to whom spoken n this country complain of these con- 'ui.ions. I have heard similar complaints from the business of France, England and Italy.
 -The world today needs something to banish this rniasma, this melancholy which has followed the Uncertainty all sides It is caused by lack

 Thus, in the opinion of Marshal Foch, the allied task is uneompleted. They abandoned it when vic tory and began functioning individually afterward and they so functioning now"
 The marshal outlined another campaign of which Germany again be the objective, but in this campaign Germany be helped and not hurt. said he:
 "The victors creditors, deal with Germany the spirit in which your martyred president, Abraham Lincoln, spoke when he said in his second inaugural address: With malice toward none with gives IS the right, let strive to finish the in Let Germany pay, and let deal with her just and helpful spirit that she will pay
 Then the campaign would be carried to the states created by the war, and until the whole earth should be brought under the reign of good will and peace.
