WHILE PUBLIC DERIDES LABOR IT IS
 HELPING THE RAILROAD WRECKERS

The Ford road is making large profits despite the fact that it has increased Wagts-paying a minimum of so to unskillcd labor-and is ready 10 cut rates when it gets the permission ot the Interstate Commerce Commission 10 do SO.
 Roads Are Badly Run
 The reason the railroads are unable to pay living wages, MT. Ford de- clarcs, is that they "are not being run correctly.
 "Thosc who own them care more about the market value and market manipulation of their stock than they do about giving service to the people. Those who operate them from high positions are being paid too highly for the little they know and do. Rail roading, 1 have found, is one of the most inefficicntly conducted business cs in the world today.
 "I ct the railroads cut down on their dividends and cut out their stock manipulations instead of trying to cut the wages of the worker, who IS do- ing the best he can for small re- turn. Then they will get down to a sound, profitable business basis"
 Ford stated his belief that the rail road managers were doing all in their power to force a strike. The interna- tional bankers came in for a few hot shots, Ford declaring that just as soon as a rail strike occurs the prices oi commodities controlled by them will go soaring. ou will see coal prices sky high if there is a strike" " he added.
 Gives Advice to Managers
 Then Ford offered this advice to the railroad managers: "Cut divi- dcnds instead of wages. Do away with the careless, inefficient methods, hire capable men in high places and make railroading what it should be one of the worlds three great arts, which are agriculture, manufacturing and transportation.
 "Thcrc are some people who think there arc really four great arts-that financccring is the fourth. But flnan- cccring Is gradually going out as an art and some day it will go entirely out"
 Ford's theory of railroading has been further developed in an article [ written for the official publication of the United States Chamber of Com mcrcc. Were he operating the large standard lines, he says, he would first of all get rid of the individual stock Eolqcr, whom he considers a parasite, then he would turn to lighter rolling stock, and finally he would fire use less employees, especially the law ycrS."
 The real purpose of a railroad" :" Mr. Ford writes, ''is to serve the pub lie. There IS no reason why 1t should be diverted from that ServiCe and set 10 doing an entirely different thing putting money into the pockets of stockholders who make no contribu ton 10 the roads actual operation. In the end the public pays these divi- dends. They are a tax on the whole people.
 Too Many Lawyers on Job
 Most railroads have enough law ycrs working for them to operate them if they were engaged in use iul work. One of the first things is 10 dispense with the legal staff A we'll managed road needs less of that sort of service. The lawyers are mostly in the claim department, which is one of the most wasteful branches of railroad operation."'

ROADS COULD AVOID WAGE SLASH IF RUN
 RIGHT, AYERS FORD
Manufacturer Declares Workers Are Underpaid by the Nations
 Carriers.

"If the railroads were run right no wage cuts would be nccessary-and they aren't necessary now, in my opinion. The employees of the big roads are being underpaid rather than overpaid."
 So declared Henry Ford, in an in terview that received scant attention from majority of the newspapers. He made this statement while the at tention of the country was focused upon the strike call issued by the transportation brotherhoods.
 Henry Ford ought to know some thing about railroads, for he took a streak of rust-the Detroit, Toledo & 1ronton-and made it paying propo- Sition while the railroad ~hnanciers were gufawing themselves hoarse be- cause, as they imagined, they had un- loaded white elephant" on to him.

Where IOwa's Money Is.

A man well informed on public
matters has stated that if Iowa had
the cash that has been paid for
wildcat stock in wildcat schemes
during the past five years she would
not be feeling money stringency
today. In other words if the money
spent for Salty Razor stock, Blue
Steel Tool Co., Pan-American Motors
cranberry swamps and rubber Plan
tations, catalogue houses, packing
plants and the other thousand anL
one promotions, was in the local
banks to-day and could be loaned to
the men who need it, there would be
no shortage of cash in Iowa.
While this is true, it does no good
to kick ourselves for the fool things
we did when intoxicated by the wave
of prosperity that carried along with
the world war.
But it does tell us TO some extent
where our money is, and why we
are so hard up at this time. Our
money is gone because we spent it,
and our good times are gone because
we went the limit while they were
here, and have no power Of recovery
when they depcIted.--Hcmburg Re

R. schrubbe Taken Suddenly III

Richard Schrubbe was taken sud
denly i'll at his store last Wednes-
day about five o'clock. He was wait
ing on a customer at the time, when
he was attacked with fainting
spell, falling backwards on the floor,
striking the back of his head severe
ly. Physicians were hastily sum-
moned, and at first it was thought
he had suffered stroke, but af-
ter an examination that thought was
dispelled. He was taken to his home,
and was alright shortly afterwards,
a case of indigestion being the cause
of all his trouble, having partaken
a little too freely of bean soup, a
dish of which he is fond of, at the
noon hour. He was back attending
to business at the store Thursday
morning, none the worse for his ex
perience.

N|CARAUGUANS
THOUGHT PLANE

SAN JUAN DEL SUR. Nicaragua,
March 6, (By MaiD-There are
even yet In remote parts OF the

NC-6 was forced down by a hurri-
cane while on its flight from San
Diego. Cal, to Panama along with
about a dozen other planes in JGnu-
ary.
They thought the NC-6 was a
huge bird, an albatross, which had
come in search for some unfortun-
ate mariner who had offended Il
and they hid in the woods for sew
eral hours.
Near the little cove where the
NC-6 came down are two ranches.
