AN ADVICE ABOUT LAND RENT
PROFITEERJNG.
By ASHLEY [. ToTTEN.

D4 EAGII1H4 LIZ A4f
Mr.. w. S. Abramson's letter Of recent
date is full of pep. 1t is right to the
point. 1t hits the nail squarely on the
head.
The cultivation of land in st. Croix is
absolutely necessary AT this time,
Every inch Of ground that can produce
anything should be placed in cultivation.
And if these lands remain idle. land
owners should see like others Do, that
the waters are crowding in on prosperity
in St. Croix. Yield to the squatters at a
rate upon which it will be profitable for
them to work the ground.
1t would seem to be more of a patriotic
spirit. to rent land for q little. than to
leave it lying in waste.
In New York quite recently such
prices were placed on land
from time to time, that the Legislature
had to take drastic action against further
rent proftaering by passing a law pro
hibiting the rent of land and property at
a maximum figure arranged by them.
There is in St. Croix a legislative body
of which Mr.. Abramson ! believe is a
member.
1t would not be a bad idea to introduce
such a bill for passage there, and it
seems to me that as Mr.. Abramson has
the power, he ought to use it.

It is understood hat beer imported
from Germany is not to be sold at more
than ten dollars per case Of forty-eight
quarts. Further that beer from Holland
or Denmark shall not be marked higher
than fourteen dollars a case. This ap-
plies to beer which was on the high seas
within the terms of the Proclamation OF
the Governor, Of F~ebruary.1, 1922, as of
course no more beer can be imported
locally.
Violations of the set price should be
reported to the Director of Police, since
profiteering Of any kind lesides It's in
justice, is very destructive Of any real
material progress in the community.

The Home of the Soul

In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach.
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out of order. For the
cure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions natuT-
ally. Give them a trial. They only
cost q quarter.

has been made on "The Unifcation of Austria

relief has yet been accomplished. No inter-
change of freights or passengers is yet pos

junction points. The last royal commission to
report was in 1921, which recommended the

storm of protest greeted this report Advo-
Gates of the foot inch gauge claim prece-
dence because of the greater mileage covered
by lines operating on that gauge. Advocates of
the S foot inch gauge are on hand with, to
then conclusive arguments why that gauge
should be selected. They claim that conditions
which influenced North America and Europe
in selecting their now standard should not
count in Australia-that they have nothing in
common with these countries so far as rail
gauges are concerned. They claim that the
United States made mistake in adopting it's
standard and that the broader gauge of feet
. inches is more economic of operation In
other words, Australia is but repeating the ex-

standard, however, has still the strongest
grip on the situation. On the island
of Java more than half of its railroad
lines built to our standard, most Of
the others using the feet inch gauge, while
there are some unimportant lines built to
guage of tenths Of q meter, or little less
than feet. On Sumatra the standard gauge
just about holds it's own with the rs hum
dredths of meter gauge "a little less than
feet 6 inches). Some day both of these
islands will have an important and expensive
problem to solve So will India, with its 1A,000
miles Of feet inch gauge and it's II 600
miles of 39-inch gauge lines. In Japan the
Imperial Railway Pureau has been struggling
with the railway 'Ige matter for years, and
has reached the conclusion that the American
European standard is good enough for her.
AS long ago as 1908 North China began to fall
in line with rail gauge Standardization, and
converted its line running from Hsin to Muk-
den from feet 6 inches to the American
standard. This is one of the lines built by the
japanese during the Russo-Japanese War, and
was taken over by China as an extension of
its imperial railways of North China, already
built to our standard
When it became evident to American rail
road men that feet 81s inches was TO be
settled upon as our standard gauge, and that
this country was about to enter into a whole
sale gauge conversion some wonderful records
OF achievement were made, and some lines
Of many miles were changed in an incredibly
short space of time. Perhaps the experience
OF the Louisville & Nashville will best illus
trate this. The old gauge was feet. One
rail, therefore, must be moved in just 31a
inches to conform with the standard, and on
all of the rolling stock equipment the wheels
New-York tribune., 1922-11-12

1t took thirty or forty years of pickering
and controversy before American lines came
to an agreement on the Standardization of their
rail gauges, and Australia is now going
through the same controversy that ended with
us back in the 'S0s. On that continental
island there are $4,000 miles of railway lines
built to five different gauges-3 feet inches,
feet 81a inches 5 feet 3 riches, feet inches
and feet All of the western Australian
lines, converging on Perth, use the foot 6
inch gauge, also the central and southern por-
tion around Port Augusta and all of the roads
centering in and north of Brisbane and the
lines on Tasmania, This accounts for 12,700
miles. The main stem connecting the west
with Port Augusta and e lines about Sydney
are built to our standard, feet 972 inches and
cover nearly 5000 miles The 1000 miles Of
foot inch gauge are all in the southeast
portion Of the continent around Victoria. The
foot inch and the foot gauge lines are un-
important, being short lines entering the in
terror on the northeast and north coast.
