ROADS OPERATE
AT HEAVY Loss
LOOK TO INCREASE IN VOLUME
AND REDUCTION IN COST TO
SOLVE PROBLEM.

MuskOgee, Okla CA. P.)--The rail-
roads of the country today are doing
business at loss, and are looking
for two things, to help them out-an
increase in volume and reduction of
costs, according to w. B. Stoorey.
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company, who ad-
dressed the conference of the Inter-
national Association of Rotary Clubs
flor the Seventeenth district here this
morning.
ANY further rate reductions with
out wage reductions are dangerous,
and the sooner the railroads are put
on paying basis the better for you,
the better for US, and the better for
the country" Mr.. Storey declared.
If the roads cannot be made produc-
tive, then follows bankruptcy and
eventually government ownership
with all its attendant evils. If they
are to succeed, they must not be
hampered by regulation to the point
where they cannot function properly.
In other words, cut out the hamper
ing laws, stop increasing taxes,
change the slogan, Soak the rail-
roads, to Help the railroads. and
give us a chance to do for you what
we are anxious to do-give you the
best transportation service in the
world at the lowest cost per ton per
mile
"A billion and half dollars ought
to be spent annually on the railroads
of the United States for three years
for enlargements and extensions alone
to bring them up-to-date. AS during
federal control the increase in plant,
taking the railroads as a whole, was
greatly diminished" The vast sum
stated would have nothing to do with
the ordinary expenditures for main
tenance, but would be used only for
expansions as demanded by the
growth of the country.
"The railroads." Mr. Storey, con-
tinued "have done everything pos
sible to help bring about a return to
normalcy, but are not in shape to do
as much in that direction as other
industries for the reason that they
were not allowed to make any war >
profits while the world conflict was
in progress, because the government
took them and paid in rentals only
the average earnings for the three
years preceding. Practically every
other industry III the country made
money during that period, he said.
and the money so made enables them
o meet the losses that have come in
he liquidation era
THE railroads, therefore, are
greatly handicapped in this respect,
they have made innumer-
lble rate adjustments downward, by
rider of commissions, or voluntarily.
n 1921, the railroads of the country
IS a whole came out only a little
yer cost of production-about 8 per-
ent-and they actually lack 130
nillion dollars of having enough to
ay interest on their borrowings.
Tnless a change comes, there can be
o normalcy for the railroads"
Speaking of the business of the
ountry generally, Mr.. Storey said it
yould improve slowly. "It will not
each the feverish activity of war
ines, but we will soon get it to
oint where there is little profit"

Curtis COMPANY ARTIST
BROTHER OF PHI. SOULEN

Perhaps few persons who see the
attractive paintings appearing as
frontice pieces on the Saturday Eve
and the Country Gentleman, with the
name Henry j. Soulen appearing as
the artist, know that Mr.. Soulen is
the youngest brother of Professor Phi
Soulen of this city. Many of the hu-
man interest pictures which appear
as the frontice piece on the cover of
the Saturday Evening Post are his
work, and the April number of the
Ladies Home Journal carries two Of
his paintings in cQlors, while one ar
t1cle is illustrated by him
Mr.. SouIen became interested in art
while mere boy, at the family home
in the east, and later by dint of hard
and persistant work was able to take
a course in art. His ability was so
marked that the Curtis Publishing
company soon became interested him
and he is now one of their regular
contributors.
He is a young married man. with
a wife and two small children, and
recently bought home in the out
skirts of Philadelphia, which he has
fitted up in keeping with the artist
ideals, and where the greater part of
his time is spent and much of his
work done.
Superintendent Soulen is antici-
pating that his artist brother will
make his initial visit to the west the
coming summer

WORKS With NATURE
To PRESERVE FORESTS

Glen Haven, Mich.-(A. PA
partnership contract with nature
drawn up mentally by D. H. Day
obliged him to let slip many oppor
tunities to make money, he says, but
enabled him to develop from the
young second growth on tract that
has been burnt over by fire a 1,400
acre forest which he expects 'to stand
for all time" A state game refuge
and a state park have been located
in the forest.
Mature can remedy the lumber
shortage if we give her the chance"
says Mr.. Day. He summarizes his
contract" formulated A years ago,
as follows.
81 agree to do everything in my
power to assist nature in making this
land produce lumber. | will cut only
the largest of the trees, leaving the
smaller ones to grow and produce
others. l will keep the entire tract
as free from fire hazards as possible,
and will not resort to thinning of the
trees, even though l might make
bigger and quicker profits, because
this would waste the young timber
l will SO adjust my affairs that this
tract forever will remain in its nat
ural state, providing a source of rev
enue and at the same time adding to
the JOY of those who love the out-of-
DOORS"

THE GOOD TIMES
COMING.

AS bad as have been financial con-
ditions attending the period of settle
ment and readjustment, bankers agree
that il would have been far worse
but for the elasticity and soundness
of the national banking system. They
tell US il was the federal reserve sys-
tenn which prevented a nationwide
panic. Now the more hopeful signs
OF the times are found in the tremen-
dnouS improvement IN the reserve
positions, the bankers tell us. They
say money Is easier as the direct re-
suit. There were hints at partisan
interference with the proper function
ing of the wise laws provided for just
the present situation but If so those
responsible for the interference have
found their tactics of no avail. The
functioning again of the Farm Loan
Banks furnishes evidence that needed
money will again be finding its way
into the rural communities.
In the light of what we have been
printing in The Recorder from time to
time about town helps there is general
hope expressed in the community of
Salmon that the Lemhi Business
Mems association should receive a
larger measure of support than it
does receive. This association has
been helpful in manifold ways to the
end of promoting growth and expan-
sion in its chosen field. With this
organization there is helpfulness Of
ferred to its membership, nothing but
heipfulness.
Are you, Mr. Business Man, doing
your part in this effort? The ans
wer Is found in the attendance and
membership, which is not what it
should be. Suppose we all try to do
more of our civic duty in this respect.
