RAILWAY LINE

Monday workmen began pull
ing up the rails of the Lewiston
Nez Perez & Eastern railroad,
known as the Johnson road, and
the third attempt to penetrate
the Craig mountain and NeZ
Perez prairie country by a rail-
DAD from Lewiston up the Snake
river will have been halted. The
road now runs from Lewiston
into Tammany valley, II miles.
Rumors have circulated that con-
stluction was to start soon eX-
tending the line about 20 miles
into the timber on Craig noun
tain, south of here. Facts
brought out today revealed that
the railroad has $4,000 acres of
timber leased, and that z. A.
Johnson, president of the road,
is on the coast in conference with
Northern Pacific officials seek
ing aid in the extension.
Rails Leased From c. p. Co.
The work of taking up the
rails is being done by the Camas
Prairie Railroad company, which
holds a lease on them, according
to N. A. Bigelow, superintendent
of the latter road, because of de-
faults on payments on the lease.
On June &c notice was given by
the Camas Prairie company that
unless the payments were made
it would seize the property. APP
plications for injunctions made
by the L. N. & E. to the inter-
state commerve and public util-
tiles commissions and overtures
seeking an extension of time to

First Road Started III 1850.
The first attempt to construct
a railroad into Craig mountain
on the route of the Johnson road
was about 1880, when the Spok-
ane and PalouSe railroad made a
survey and did extensive dcvel-
opment work from Lewiston up
Snake river.
About % years later IN cleo
trio line, known as the Lewiston
& Southeastern Electric railroad,
was projected over the same
right-of-Way. The present road
was projected to extend into NeZ
Perez and was started in 1914,
commencing operations in the
fall of that year over II miles of
track. Since then, eight miles
of grade have been constructed.
The road represents an invest
ment of about 100000, most Of
which was furnished by Lewis
ton stockholders.
1t is understood that steps will
be taken for relaying the rails
and recognizing the corpora
ton.

Bonus Action Soon,
Fordney Assures Legion
Commander NacNider Talks 10
Members Of House, Attack-
ing Objections Of Mellon

From The Trtburs's Wushinoto- B,recv
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-One Of the
1na' steps before the 11ous. WAYS and
Means Committee proceeds to the work
OF drafting the adjusted compensation
bill was taken to-day when Chairman
Fordney and the other members heard
Hanford MacNider. National Com
mander. and other officers of the
American Legion.
In asking passage of the bill without
further delay. Commander MacNider
presented arguments to combat the op-
position of Secretary of the Treasurer
Mellon and the United States Chamber
of Commerce. He was assured bv Mr..
Fordney. after the hearing that the
committee virtually has agreed on the
form the bonus measure is to have and
that speedy action will be taken in
presenting it to the House.
"1he Secretary of the Treasury" said
Mr.. MacNider, "lnstead of opposing
this bill by pointing out the difficulties
of financing it, would do better to sug-
gest proper methods Of raising the
money. Payments of debts are always
rksome, but that does not relieve the
obligation of the debtor, and the debtor
in this case, the nation which Mr..
Mellon is supposed to be serving, wants
this debt paid.
at is not SO much his duty to relate
the difficulties of his position as to
seek means to meet them The people
want results-not objections. In ad
dition to this Mr.. Mellon has taken
no cognizance Of the fact that benefits
of this bill will strengthen the eco
nomic fabric Of the country because
it allows beneficiaries to build homes,
buy farms and farm machinery. train
themselves for useful vocatons and in
accepting paid up insurance, making
them better and more contended clti-
zens. We feel that the constructive
benefits greatly outweigh the economic
disadvantages which he has detailed"
Opposition to the legislation, the
Legion leader declared, comes from
ignorance tof the cause and effect of
the measure. The president of the
Chamber of Commerce admitted to the
Legion, said MacNider, that he did
not know what your bill provides and
that they were not interested in its
provisions"
They have proved their lack of un-
derstanding of the matter" MacNider
added "when they confuse two sepa-
rate and distinct options. the cash
feature and paidup insurance" He
continued:
eve hear that there are men eli
gible for the benefits Of this bill who
oppose it, We never meet them, and
in forty states in the last three months
| have had a chance to hear them if
they exist. If there are such men we
ask that they turn over their part to
6 rotating Legion fund to be lent with
out security to disabled men and their
dependents while they fight for their
deserved disability compensation"

as representative of the public by

IN ITS Investigation Of transportation
rate levels, testified that i'm his opinion
railroad earnings were too low TO allow
general reduction Of freight charges
and that business activity would not be
stimulated by such a step if taken Mr..
Hines estimated that "in the public
interest it is probably necessary for
the railroads TO spend on heitcrmcnts
and facilities at least S1o0o.ooo 600 ,

Looking over the statistics of rail
road earnings during 1871 MIR. Hines
said, eve can take it for granted that
general rate reductions arc not called
for ON tho Ground that earnings arc
900 high. w must ali admit railroad
rates are high now, but in my opinion
current business depression is NOT due
to that fact. but to conditions that arc
Fundamental and Worldwide Chiefly
it is the effort Of people to got 10 Il
normal adjustment after the strain Of

"Considering the effects Of possible
general reduction we must conclude
first that it would further depcte the
financial reserves of railroad COM
panies, which already arc weakened,
unless it stimulated business sufficient
~ to produce traffic which would make
up the loss. Second. We must conclude
that il would reduce thc purchasing
power Of the railroads themselves. I
doubt that reduction would stimu
late business.
"Transportation service costs arc
not the real cause of trouble now. A
far greater burden ON consumption and
production to-day is That placed by tho
existing system Of distribution.

have no opportunity to pile un funds

which they can depend in lean times. -

Senator Walsh explained that il was his
purpose to require such agreements, as
soon as made. to be sent to CONGRESS-
and thus made public He said Secre-
tary Mellon did not want such pro
vision and had taken the position it
would be bad policy to make them pub
lie. This amendment was adopted with
out a division.
Senator McCumber next presented an
amendment which required that when
an adjustment with foreign govern
ment is put in final form the authority
OF the commission as to dealing with
that nation shall cease. This also was
adopted without a division.
An amendment proposed by Senator
Reed was intended to strike from the
bill the words cor hereafter" The
effect would have been to limit the
power of the commission to bonds or
obligations now held by this govern
ment and to prevent the commission
entering into agreements as to future
obligations. Senator McCumber. after
getting into touch with the Treasury
authorities by telephone, said he was
advised the government was getting in
new obligations daily. arising from

Hence. he argued, the Reed amendment
ought not be adopted. 1t vas rejected

others on the Republican side cor
tended 1t was unnecessary since the
government did not intend to make any
advance to Liberia. The amendment
was rejected without q record vote
IN the course of the debate Senator
Borah renewed the charge that the ulti-
mate purpose of the proposed leolsls-
ton was cancellation of the foreign
debt. He charged that powerful inter
national banking interests arc work
ing to that end.
Senator Walsh Of Montana brought
up tho question of salaries for the
commission. He called attention to the
5act that no provision was made for
payment of salaries. Senator Watson
OF Indiana said it was his understand
ing the President intended to appoint
on the commission members of the

dld not say specifically what cabinet
members would be named. 1t is as
