British Experience Duplicates Our.

oIitlSn experience Duplicates Ours
Great Britain has about $4,000
miles of railway; the United States
has about 100000 miles. When the
railroads of Great Britain passed
under government control with the
outbreak of the World War, large
number Of optimistic advocates of
government ownership of railroads
got ready to witness what they
thought would be a complete vindica-
ton of their theories. Great Britain
made arrangements for the terms of
payment to security owners, standard
returns We're agreed upon, the min
lstry of transport was set up, the sys-
TENS and their earnings were pooled,
and everything looked lovely for an
annual division of profits whereby
viii Waterproof would assign "his
proper chop to each" But, in the
words of Mary, after her lamb had
followed her to Pittsburg, ''now look
at the id thingl The British
roads were returned to their owners
August 18th, whereby the taxpayers
have been relieved of a charge of
about $3OO,OOO,OOO to wipe out the
deficits incurred and remaining as a
charge against the Ministry of Trans
port, in addition to about S45O,OOO.-

treasury on previous railway deficits.
In the words of one American Writer.
who compares British experience with
our own: "The railways of both
countries fed long enough at the pub
lie board to forget their habits of
frugality." Comparatively speaking,
the RESULTS in Great Britain were al
most precisely what they were in the
United States. from a financial point
of. view, while Great Britain had the
advantage of a compact organization
operating in territory about as large
as one of our States. What have the
Plumb Planners to say to the British
experience?

Oil in Trego County

There is considerable excitement
rife in this vicininty just now over the
reported finding of oil at Walsh well
No. 1, north of Collyer. The sand in
dicating oil was struck on August
18th. The well was closed for week
while the owners and men went to
eastern Kansas. The workmen re-
turned the first of the week and re-
commenced work. They found that
considerable oil had risen in the we'll
during their absence. W. NJ. Nc
Knab, the owner, was notified and ar
rived here Tuesday. Investigations
which have since been made indicate
a good strike. There are several hun
dred feet of water in the we'll but
about three hundred feet of oil has
risen to the top of the water. Of
course, we cannot tell what is there
until the water can be shut off and a
test put on the well. Considerable
undermining and repairing and re
setting casing must be done before
we can tell just what there is, but it
looks mighty good. Trego County
is now a proven oil fieId.-Western

No Apology, But Praise.

Congressman Mondell, floor leader
of the House, was fully justified in
speaking in words of praise of the
work of the present session of Con-
gress which has adjourned for four
weeks vacation. Among the accom-
plishments of the session may be
cited:
Emergency tariff act.
immigration restriction act.
Budget system act.
Peace resolution.
Army and Navy appropriations re-
duced and army cut.
Treasury deposit of SIS, 100000
for Farm Loan Board.
Export trade organization act.

own bonds and to lend $1,000, 100000
for financing agricultural exports.
Authorization of extension Of
$5OO,OOO,OO0 credit to the railroads
in order to tide them over the present
situation.

apology and which will compare fav-
orably with legislation enacted by any
Democratic Congress within the same

Hugh rose and casually picked up

there was nothing TO be gained by
