dition change If the wages are re-
duced. The worst economic folly
in the world is to cut down wages
to increase business. All that does
happen is to decrease producing
and buying power, which alone
creates business and profits
When wages are really exorbi-
tant. that is different. Then they
must be reduced. And that brings
us to the question of wages re-
ceived by the engineers. iiremen,
conductors and trainmen. Are
they exorbitant? Are they un-
fairly high?
From information received, the
rates in effect at the present time
are as follows:
Passenger conductors 49,. S6.40
Passenger baggagemen ..... 4.46
Passenger brakemen .......N 4.40
Freight conductors ....... 5.S4
Freight brakemen ........ 4.4S
Local freight conductors -. 6.32
Local freight brakemen 80. ass
Yard foremen ............. 6.32
Yard helpers .....,....... 5.S4
SWltcntenuerS 4.4U
A review of the railway rate
situation, without reference to
freight reductions that have been
made since October list. is prac-
tically as follows:
The first increase in rates, in
1914, was modest per cent.
This was followed by Is per cent
advance in 1917. and later by one
of rs per cent. Finally, under the
Transportation Act of 1920. the
Interstate Commerce Commission
authorized still further advances
of 40 per cent to roads in the
Eastern territory. 25 per cent to
roads in the Southern territory.
35 per cent to roads in the West
ern territory, and 25 per cent TO
roads in the Pacific mountain ter
ritory. These latter increases
were granted for the purpose Of
enabling the carriers to earn. as
nearly as may be, per cent upon
the aggregate value of the railway
property employed in the actual
service of transportation.

FOUND AN OILY SUBSTANCE"
People in South Part of Marion
County Get Petroleum Thrill.

People in the vicinity southeast of
Melcher are wondering if oil prospec-
tors have been in their midst, and if
so, did they find any encouragement
when drilling operations ceased last
week and the worlmen withdrew
from the scene of boring activities
The boring is said to have been 60
ing on at the Harry Merryman farm,
three miles southeast of Melcher
over the line in Marion county. A
Des Moines company put down the
hole, which reached a depth of over
700 feet when the drill ceased. 1t is
reported that persons who have gone
to the scene of the drilling when
stopped, report an oily substance in
evidence.
1t is also reported that the COM
pany recently started boring opera
tons in search of coal in the same
neighboIfoOd.
What they found IS believed TO
have caused them to abandon the
search for a coal vein and bring in {
diamond drill, rumor has it, to look
for something else. And then the
second hole was drilled.
{ Whether the drillers found wha
they were looking for and stoppeC
operations pending the securing O
leases, etc, or whether the operation!
were abandoned as futile is a matte,
of speculation.-Knoxville Journal
