"The first thing that occurs to
railroad manager when he wants to
reduce costs is to cut wages-that
does not require any laborious brain

means of cutting costs without re-
ducing wages?
"The inadequacy of transportation
facilities is chiefly responsible for
high operating costs and consequently
for excessive freight rates"
Senator Couzens referred to the
common complaint that while the
country seems to be exceedingly pros

1t was with much regret the an

morning of the death of Mrs. Mary

short. She passed away Tuesday

ANDREWS FAVORS
SIMPLIFYING COURT
ACTIONS
Editor Butler County Press:


There is pending in the legislature
of Ohio, Senate Bill No. 165, by Mr..
Collister, which provides for a judi
cial council to consist of the chief
justice of the supreme court of Ohio,
two associate judges of the supreme
court, the chief justice of the court
of appeals, one probate judge and
one common pleas judge and three
practicing attorneys, all to be selected
by the chief justice.
The purpose of this council thus
composed is to study the organiza-
ton, rules, methods of practice of the
judicial system of this state and to
devise and recommend simpler and
more expeditions method of disposing
of cases in court
The age-old complaint has been the
laws delay This delay usually
arises from the fact that one litigant
in lawsuit is apt to be reluctant to
proceed, and one party may be reluc-
tant at one stage of the case and the
other party different stage.
Now, in this state there are so many
rules and regulations adopted by the
legislature that the reluctant party
can generally avail himself of one
or the other of these rules and apply
it to serve his purpose.
1t is about as incongruous for the
legislature to regulate the courts as
it would be for the courts to regulate
the legislature. They are both equal
in our triune system of government,
and the courts would make better
progress under rules prescribed by
such a council as this bill contem-
plates than by the intricate system
of statutes.
The creation of the council con-
templated by the senate bill imposes
no expense whatever on the public
for they are to serve without COM
pensation.
| wish the public would take kindly
to this measure and urge its passage
upon our representatives in the house
and senators in the senate.

ADVERTISING
Merchants Have Work Cut
Out for Them By New
President

If the members of the local Retail
Merchants Association carry out the
work as is cut out for them by their
new president, Fred S. Meyer, they are
sure facing year of activity. Presi-
dent Meyer made his initial bow be-
fore the organization the other day
with a hear ye! hear We! talk that
keeps ringing in the ears of all who
heard it. And the beauty of it is that
the talk, like a successful vaccination,
took. All the members are "gingered"
up and full of "pep" since the live
and controlling wire of the organiza-.
tion snapped his whip, and vow that
the program and plan as laid down
by the leader is to be carried out to
the letter.
The activities of the year embraced
in President Meyers program deal
with the attendance, budget, legisla-
ton, trade promotion, sanction board,
meetings, dollar day and many other
subjects of importance to the retail
merchants and the citizens of Hamil-
ton in general. President Meyer i'm
pressed very strongly on the mem
bers the Importance and value of adj
vertising and of doing it in more
judicious manner than has been done
in the past On the subject President
Meyer said in part:
while I'm on the subject of get
ting together, | want to say word
or two about advertising The mer-
chants will have to get together, and
most of them still have to be told
of the value of advertising. The mer-
chants will have to bear in mind that
newspapers are published six days a
week; most of them seem to think
that Friday is the only day on which
it pays to advertise. | learned only

much overtime. make this state
ment deliberately and advisedly.
Therefore, let's endeavor to create a
more far-reaching advertising propa
ganda. There's no reason in the
world why Tuesday or Wednesday
or any other day can't be made as
advantageous day to advertise, as
Friday now appears to be- And above
all, let's all try to tell our fellow
members the value of advertising Con

program to be issued in connection
with the show is now in the hands
