R. R. MERGER TO
BE POLICY OF
ADMINISTRATION
President Expects to Find
West Deeply Con-
cerned
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN


United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 17.-The
administration S new railroad poll
cy Will be based upon consolidation
OF the roads into u few great svs-
tens. This may require purchase
or the entire transportation system
of the country at Il cost of more
than $20,000,0OO,000.
Such a purchase would, however,
be only temporary and the roads
when consolidated would promptly
be sold back to their present own
ers.
President Harding believes con
solidation offers the only way out
of the nation s transportation prob
lens, aside from government owner.
ship. To that he is inexorably op-
posed.
Mr.. Harding discussed the rail
road problem ut length with Sena-
tor Cummins of Iowa, chairman Of
the senate interstate commerce
committee. Cummins and the pres
ldent agreed the consolidation plan
must be made the keynote of the
administration policy and that
therefore will be the basis on which
MIR. Harding will present the ques-
tlon to the country on his western
trip.
How To Do It.
Regarding, as he does, the rail
road problem as one of the foremost
confronting his administration, Mr..
Harding intends to devote consider
able of his speaking time on his
trip to it. Indications are that
when he is speaking to the people
of the great manufacturing and
farming centers of the middle west,
they will be faced vita 4 rranspor-
tation crisis growing ont of the
business and industrial revival and
the approach of harvest. That will
make 1t an even more timely prob
lem. There is Il difference of opin-
ion in the administration as to the
method by which consolidation can
be carried out. Cummins told
President Harding today that con-
solidation plan such as the inter
state commerce commission is now
working out could be applied through
congressional legisia!:on. Secretary
of Commerce Hoover, however, as
serted today in Il discussion of the
same question that such legislation
would be unconstitutional and that
the only way in which consolda-
ton could be accomplished would
be for the government TO buy the
roads, consolidate them and sell
them back.

FIVE SCHOOLS
BURN DAILY

"There are other schools in all
parts of the United States that are
veritable fire traps" says w. L.
Malallieu, General Manager of the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers in commenting on the Cleveland,
South Dakota, disaster, "and disas-
trous fires are ceratin to occur to
such structures from time to time,
unless greater attention is paid TO
safeguard ags inst fire.
According 20 our records, this
is the worst sch6 oil fire sin e that
which took place at Colinwood,
Ohio, March, 1906, when 173 chill
dren lost their lives. In this fire,
which started from an overheated
steam pipe, the pxnic-stricken chill
dren piled up against locked exit
door and persisted before they could
be rescued.
"Schoolhouse fires result from
many causes, although the heating
plant is responsible chiefly, and the
National Boards states show that
they occur at the rate of Ave
day on the average. Property. losses
in school buildings amount to about
$5,261, 900 annually, but the most
serious feature is the life hazard
involved.
For several hours each day, dur
ing approximately two hundred days
of the year 25,000,000 children are
found in schoolhouses Of the United
States. Their attendance is COM
pulsory and we have no educational
problem more fundamental than
that of insuring the safety for the
children thus assembled.

LOCKHART STIRS STORM
AMONG ELY OFFICIALS

The important feature of the
city council meeting was the read
ing of the resignation of City At
torney Lockhart by City Clerk Wal
lace, which again opened up the
same old conflict which has existed
between the mayor and the council
men since they assumed their duties
following the recent city election,
says the Ely Record. Mayor Tam
blyn stated that at the last regular
meeting he had issued a proclama-
ton declaring the offices of city
attorney and city marshal vacant
and he did not feel it was incum-
bent upon him to accept the resigna-
ton of the city attorney, as in his
opinion the office was already va
cant and therefore there could be
no resignation. He then called at
tention of the council to the fact
that he had previously nominated
c. A. Eddy for city attorney and
requested that the council take ac-
ton on that matter.
