la' - VI tno ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of,Ine
four transportation brotherhoods.
His testimony pointed concIusiveIy
to the fact that while the government
was putting its resources behind the
railroads, railroad 6 managers were
bending every energy to increase
maintenance costs. ~.
The very first month federal con-
troll ceases, but guarantee continues
DR.. Warne said, total maintenance
expenses began to MOVE UPWARD,
the curve rising each month and cul-
minating in. a striking jump in August
to nearly $500; GOO ,000,a an increase
from $185.Q0o,0O to $320,O00,000, or
$135, 900, 900, or Of 70 per cent. -.
This drops to 1929, 900, 900, de-
crease of 1915 per cent, the very first
month the guaranty period ends and
private operation continues without
the guaranty. BY the end of the fol-
lowing six months total maintenance
is back. again at identically the same
basis practically as at the beginning
OF the last: year Of federal control
The only inference that can be
drawn from these figures is that when
the railroads were operating under a
guarantee the managers were inflat-
ing maintenance costs, which began to
decline Immediately the federal treas
ury was closed to them.
| During each six month period
March to August, both inclusive), of
1915, 1916 and 1917, the most profit
able years in the history of American
| railroads, total maintenance averaged
less than $S4,000,0 900. During the same
six months of 1920. this being the per-
lod OF private operation under the
government guaranty, maintenance
reached monthly, average Of $227,-
100000, an increase in the average of
$143;O00,000, Or nearly 173 per cent.
Total maintenance cost for the six
months, September, 1920, to February.
1921, Inclusive. averaged $99,O00,000
per month less than the average main
tenance cost for sthe preceding six
month period of private operation but
with the government guarantee.
Making Government Pay UnjustIy
The conclusion is indisputabIe,"
declares Dr.. Warne, "that Immediately
upon the return of the roads to their
owners, but while, still assured of the
government guarantee, they began ex-
traordinary expenditures in order to
put their way and structures and their
equipment in the very highest state
Of efficiency. at the expense, if possible,
Of the government"
/ When congress enacted the Cum
mins4Esch' :slaw it left the door wide
open to nearly every method of reap
ing unjust profits that INSCRIPTIONS
men could devise.
Railroad managers were quick to
take advantage of this opportunity to
enrich themselves at the expense Of
the public. BY manipulating contracts
to the benefit of SUPPLY CONCERNS
THAT ARE OWNED BY THE SAME
FINANCIAL INTERESTS THAT
CONTROL THE RAILROADS, humid
reds of millions Of dollars in tribute
has been taken from the public.
Every dollar added to the cost Of
maintenance, every dollar Of graft ia.
ken during the guaranty period, meant
an additional dollar to be taken from
the pockets Of the American shipper,
and ultimately from the American con-
sumer.-Adv.

Important to All Women
Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain In the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
pie size bottle by parcel post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at

WILL REGAIN LOST
GROUND, SAYS ROUSE

The prediction that the Democrat
ic party would make gains in every
State in the East, North and West
and would retrieve, in the coming
campaign, the ground lost In Tenn
essee and Texas in the last election,
was made by Representative Arthur
B. Rouse, of Kentucky, chairman of
the Democratic National Congress
sional Committee. In formal state
ment, Mr.. Rouse announced that the
Congressional committee organiza-
ton would be completed within a
week.
1--WE have 1n proceeding ener-
getically," the statement said. "and
have about completed our organiza-
ton in each State. Our committee
includeszin it's membership a repre-
sentative in Congress from every
State in the union that has Demo
cratic representation in the National
law making body. There are now %
States without Democratic represen-
tation. In all except five of these
have appointed a prominent Dem
ocrat to represent the State on the
committee and the organization will
be completed within a week.
1.-THE committee also will have g
woman representative in each State
and about half of these appoint
ments been made"
Regarding political conditions
throughout the country, Mr.. Rouse
said that reports from every State
and many districts therein indicate
that the people are not satisfied
with the present administration ane
are especially displeased with con
gress because there has been /;
complete failure in redeeming tn,
promises that were made during tn,
last campaign"
He described business condition.
"as rotten" asserting that they wer,
worse now than three months agt
and were continuing to grow worse
The emergency tariff law, Mr.
Rouse declared, has been an ''abso
lutte failure and instead of helpin,
the farmer as it was passed 'osten
sibly,' 1--WE find farmers burning
corn for fuel and wheat selling low

PLANS FOR GOOD CROP

Judging from the many tobacco
beds seen on the farms of Bourbon
county, it is freely predicted that
the acreage of the weed will be ma
terially increased in the county this
year.
1t is hoped that the growers have
learned a costly lesson, and will
take care of the crop grown in the
best possible condition. That is the
only way in which the price is 60
ing to be kept up through the Co.
operative Marketing Association.
Each grower should make his best
effort to grow tobacco crop OF
quality, and join the Association i'm.
mediately, thus securing the bene'
fits Of the most perfect organization
the farmers have had in century
