ment in 1904-tbe commonwealth was
formed in 1900 Hughes took office as
minister for external affairs, position
for which he had made himself eligible
during his state parliamentary period,
when his spare" time was spent in the
study of law. He was chairman or a
royal commission on the Australian
navigation bill and a delegate to the
imperial navigation conference at Lon
don. Though anti militarist in principle
lie advocated compulsory training for
young men and helped bring into being
O citizen defense force and an Australian
owned navy.
He had been acting prime minister on
two occasions, but it was in 1915 that
he became in actual fact the head Of the
Australian federal government. During
the war he was an electric personality
in uniting the country against the Ger
man menace His war speeches swept
the country with him. Having left the
Labor party because Of Its failure 10

led the Nationalists and was returned
to parliament with an oNerWHelHlIuS ma

oily that controlled the products Of Aus
tralian mines and Instituted compulsory
pools to control the output of wool
wheat and butter
The abnormal conditions Of war time
demanded decisive action, and with char
acteristic directness Hughes was the
dominant influence over sphere that ex-
tended far beyond the coast line of Aus

our great destiny, which is to hold this
vast continent in trust for those Of out

In Australia, Hughes was shearer stock
man, fencer. In 1890 he opened a small
shop In Sydney, where he sold books
and repaired locks. Here he read a great
deal, and the study of Henry Georges
Progress and Poverty resulted in his
forming a land tsx association in sgd

Union of Australia.
In 1890 the great shipping strike
throttled Australian industries. Defeated
as strikers they turned to the ballot box.

New Oil Field Found
Near TampicO, Mex,

MEXICO CITY, Mexico. Nov. 24-An
important new oil section has been
found, according TO reports received here
at Chicoy, point on the railroad to
Monterey, about twenty miles north Of
Tampico.
oil, It Is said, has been found Mt a
depth Of 1900 feet. making the drilling
Of wells much less expensive than IN the
other fields adjacent to Tampico.
a number Of new wells have been
brought IN at Chicoy and early reports
indicate that the field may be great
enough to take the place OF the areas in
other sections which have felt the en-

had heard a great deal about the labor

Knocked out of me by landing in Sydney
during a big strike of the transporta-
ton workers, both water and rail, which
lasted nearly three months. The labor
courts could do nothing, as the work
ers'' would not obey the courts orders
OF course, decisions against the corpora
tions were enforced. The labor courts
worked bully while wages were going up
but they were almost helpless on q falling
wage market.
When the trades unions, about thirty
years ago. gathered strength one great
strike after another gave them much ad-
vertising. They were told to gain their
ends, however, by constitutional means
and carry their demands into parliament
Soon political organizations were formed
and the Labor party came into being
When the fight for federation began the
party tried hard for constitution more
like the Canadian than the United States.

RAILROAD EXECUTIVE

Inc attitude toward Lle railroads. DUH
state and federal, is slowly changing.
In Melbourne. for instance, I found in
Harold w. Clapp, newly appointed chair
man of the railway commissioners of Vic
toria, a broad gauge executive who had
very distinct ideas Of the value of uni
fcatiOn.
81 Mr.. C1app's father and mother moved
from California to Australia about fifty
years ago, and his father established a
stage coach line TO the new gold fields
reached through Melbourne. ,Afterward
he owned the first street railway line in
Melbourne.
Although born in Australia, Mr.. CIapp
has resolved the better part Of his rail-
road training in the United States, hav-
ing spent seventeen years in close con-
tact with the traction problems as con-
struction engineer with the General
Electric Company, the Southern Pacific
and Just before his appointment as
chairman, having been vice president of
the East St Louis and Suburban Rail-
way. His experience has been with
both steam and electric roads, so that
his viewpoint is necessarily broad.
His slogan, as expressed to me. is one
which might well be adopted by the rail-
roads of the land which gave him his
training: Service before craftsmanship"
Thanks to his efforts at least one very
practical step is being taken. This is
an attempt to increase the average daily
mileage of freight shipment. The present
average is twenty-three miles. If this
can be increased to thirty, saws Mr..
Clapp, and he Is sure # can, it would
add several thousand trucks" as freight
~>ars are called in Australia. without the
necessity OF buying or building a single
new one.
I was interested in what he had to
say about wages: Demands for higher
wages without corresponding efforts to
attain the greatest possible production
will undermine the Industrial foundations
of Australia. The inevitable result Of
granting these demands will be an al
most prohibitive tariff, still further in
creasing the cost Of living and wiping out
all effects Of the increased wages"

County BOrrOws
to Meet Deficit
Special to The Times.

SHELBYYILLE. Ind, Jan. s.-Tho
Shelby County council. in special SEES
sion. issued an order to the board OF
county commissioners for the borrowing
Of 5000 TO take care of the deficit that
exists in the county treasury for expenses
Of 1920. and for the expenditures of 1921
until the county receives its share OF
the spring installment of taxes.
An appropriation Of $s166.sS was also
made by the council TO cancel the deficit
and unpaid bills of 1920
According to the council and commits
sioners the condition of the treasury Is
due to the action of the State Tax Board

that had been recommended by the coun-
ell as being necessary for the running
expenses of the county during the year
1920. The council says Shelby County's
treasury Will be empty for months to
come.
