TRAIN STOPS FOR
ONE SCHOOLGIRL

Perhaps nowhere in the United
States will be found a similar situa-
ton to that which exists in the
State of Nevada in the case of the
young daughter of a section fore
man at a siding called Teck.
This place cannot be found on
any map, save a railroad map,
and probably few even in Sparks
were aware that there is such a
section, and yet, this humble little
girl is the cause of a great trans
continental railroad company stop
ping two of its fastest trains in
order that the little Miss can at
tend school each day during the
school year.
1t is not hit or miss game, but
an order has been issued by the
Superintendent that is obeyed by
every crew that handles No. 10
and No. 20. The order is under
date of the 10th of November and
is addressed to all concerned:
Train No. 10 will stop at Teck
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of each week,
excepting when legal holiday falls
on these days, to pick up daughter
of Section Foreman going to school
at Lucin.
Train No. 20 on such days as
children are attending school will
be tagged by the agent at Lucin to
permit the boarding by school chill
dren from Lemay as well as from
Teck and train No. 20 will stop at
Lemay only when these children
are aboard the train.
Section Foreman at Teck will be
instructed to have some one at
stopping point to notify conductor
when child is unable to attend
school on account of illness or
other reasons, to preclude any I'M
necessary delay.
"W. L. HACK.
"Supt."
This example of the disruption of
a passenger schedule for the better
portion of the year for the benefit
of giving one little child of one Of
their employees every advantage that
may be offered for her to secure her
schooling, is undoubtedly without
any equal in railroad annals, and
gives a splendid insight into the de-
sires CT the Southern Pacific to
guard the welfare of its employees.
1t is impressive as we'll as it
gives the every day person the op-
portunity to observe how great an
interest the "soulless corporation"
is taking in education.
To really appreciate the effort of
the company and what the order of
Supt. Hack means to the company,
one should estimate the cost of
stopping this traffic and starting it
again five days a week, 40 weeks a
year, and also estimate the time
consumed in taking care of the
young lady.-Sparks Tribune.

0DD|E TALKS OF
VETERAN s BUREAU.

Dynamite should be used to blow
all of the incompetency out of the
veterans bureau, according to Sena-
tor Oddie, a member of the senate
committee now engaged in investi-
eating the bureau, as quoted in the
Washington Times of last Thursday.
Senator Oddie believes that one of
the grave ills of the bureau is "too
much politics" and he favors the
organization of non-political board
to supervise its activities. The
article in the Times follows:
House-Cleaning Needed
"The glazing defects in the admin
istration of the bureau and the care
of disabled veterans demand a dras-
tic cleanup" Senator Oddie of Ne
vada, member of the committee,
declared today.
"The trouble seems to be not so
much with graft and irregularity as
with the deplorably ill-advised man.
ner in which the bureau itself is
organized and functions, and with
some of the incompetent personnel.
The organization of the bureau
makes for graft and cowardly neg
lect, because of the seemingly ir-
responsibility of many of the Off
Gals"
lions of dynamite should be ig-
nited to blow all of the incompe-
tency out Of the bureau" Oddie
said.
Favors Non-Political Board
Oddie opposed the proposal of
Secretary Of War Weeks to place
the bureau under the direction of
cabinet officer, for instance, the
Secretary of the Interior, but de-
clared he had in mind a recon-
mendation for creating a non-politi-
cal board, modelled after the inter-
state commerce commission to SUI
pervise the activities of the bureau.
"There is altogether too much
politics in the bureau now" Oddie
continued. "If we can remove polit-
ical influence and substitute a nom
political board, or impartial officers,
l think the way will be opened to
speed up efficient handling of the
cases of former service men,"
Too often, Oddie said, the atti-
tude of bureau officials is anti
pathetic and hostile to the veterans.
"Most of the officials there put
the veterans on the defensive, as if
to say, "Well try to get your COM
pensation."
Would Allow for Attorneys
To relieve this situation, Oddie
declared the committee was consid-
ering proposal, which could allow
veterans to secure, at a reasonable
cost, the services of competent pri-
vate lawyers, to handle their claims
in the bureau.
"The bureau now has a system of
providing legal aid to the veterans,
but too often, these government
lawyers under the direct control of
the bureau, do not have the interest
and welfare of the claimants at
heart, and, therefore, cannot secure
satisfactory results" Oddie said.
The committees recommendation
for housekeeping will be general,
urging Oddie said, General
Hines, director of the bureau, to go
the limit in wiping out incompetent
officials and substituting in their
places high-class men who are
thoroughly conversant with the vet
erans' needs and who will admin
ster them efficiently and in a bust
ness-like manner"
