Enters Protest.

AS the owner Of about one sixth of
the voting capital stock of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad, the commonwealth of Vir-
ginia.. through the state corporation
commission. Saturday submitted to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
a resolution protesting against mer-
ger of the railroad with any other
railroad system.
The proposed plan for consolidation
Of the railroad, the corporation COM
mission says, would be highly detri-
mental to the interest of the COM
monwealth Of Virginia and would put
in jeopardy the valuable holdings Of
the commonwealth in the securities
Of the railroad.
The state commission gave as its
opinion that the proposed consolida-
tion Is not necessary nor desirable
for any of the purposes Of the trans-
portation act of 1920. but ION the
contrary, might seriously interfere
with. II not destroy. the free and
open competition for traffic between
the carriers south Of Richmond and
those north Of the Potomac river"
Such competition. the commission
added, is now afforded by the Inn
partial and neutral operation Of the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac railroad Company, "constitut-
ing the essential connecting link be-
tween the competitive railroads south
of Richmond and those north Of

among gay women-this in

noble profession of the bell
ringers Of Nuremberg is about to
be revived.
If this fashion lasts there is
sure to arise some organization
that will strive to improve the
artistic quality of these garter
bells. AS this organization thrives
and prospers it will undoubtedly
split up-which is a habit that
organizations have-and YOU will
have a progressive and conser
vative society for the improve
ment of garter bells.
Then, sooner or later, in Eng
land or in Ohio, some ladies who
would dread to call attention to
their spindles by having a gong
attached to them will get up a
society for the suppression of

We merely call attention to the
matter in order to give our

Why Freight D0esn t
Move

THE greatest railway mind that this country ever pro-
duced laid the foundation of his reputation power
and fortune by acquiring control of weak railroad
when its credit low and buying immense quantity
of equipment in anticipation of business revival.
He got his equipment at ckbotom prices, and his
placing the orders in stagnant market helped to start
the revival.
The wisdom of such policy obvious, especially
after it has been demonstrated Yet how rarely is the
example followed
Mr.. Hoover that the railroads will be caught
by deuge of unpreparedness when business picks up
for they have been underequpped for years and every
squirt of traffic overtaxes their capacity.
But the to invite the business revival all desire
surely not to maintain rates high that much traffic
cannot move.
Mr.. Hoovers remedy is not lower rates, but Govern
ment credit-he would have Uncle Sam stand behind
great outlay for improved equipment.
1t to that Uncle Sam has been doing little Of
but standing behind the railroads. whereas the lat
ters idea Of gratitude is to assa him for mismanage
ment.
Let the rates down that freight them
then the released tides of traffic may make Government
credit unnecessary, If encourage congestion by pub
cy financing prohbtve rate levels open sink hole
to Government outlay which may prove bottomless.

To strip the superstition bare?

Of Him who hath begotten me.
