RICHARD WHITE is
NOW EXPRESSMAN

This week the office of the Ameri-
can Railway Express Company was
moved from the store of L. j. Kuehne
on Wall Street, who had had the
agency for several years, to the build
ing on Division Street, occupied for
many years by the Review office.
Richard White is the new agent, he
having resigned his position as rural
mail carrier to accept it. Adams Bros.
owners of the building had force Of
carpenters and painters busy there
last week getting it in readiness
after several years of use as a ware
house and it looks much better as a
result. Incidentally the move will
make it more convenient for part Of
town which for many years las had
to transact its express business a
block or more away. Mr.. Kuehne will
now devote his entire attention to his
electrical and sporting goods store
and utilize the space gained by an
enlargement of his stock.

SUCCESS DEPENDS ON HEALTH

SUCCESS DEPENDS ON HEALTH
On the basis that health is vital
factor in determining success and en-
joyment of life, and that with out it
you cannot accomplish your maximum
effort, the subject is rapidly coming
in for broader consideration in the
schools of the United States. This is
the message Of Courtenay Dinwiddie,
general executive Of the American
Child Health Association, who took a
prominent part in discussions at the
first annual International Conference
in Health Education held in connec-
! ton with the annual convention of
the National Education Association.
at was the concensus Of opinion,
said Mr.. Dinwiddie, that health is
rapidly finding it's place as one of the
prime detectives of the whole educa-
tional system and at the same time is
being given more actual time in the
school course Too often study of
health matters has been confined to
brief and formal course on practical
questions of daily life and has failed
to interest or change the health hab-
its of the pupils. Whether our chill
dren are to be strong, mentally alert
citizens or not depends, in large
measure upon the start they have in
their youth"
1t isn't advisable for one to become
too much of an old timer in Sumatra.
Over there, when a man gets some
distance beyond three score, is is
said the Battaks of Sumatra put him
up in tree, and all the young bucks
of the village gather round and try
to shake him down If he is too feeble
to hold on, that is a sign from heaven
that his days are through, so they pro-
coed to cook and eat him.
Pretty much the same thing is be-
ing done in our own country by peo-
pie engaged in business. When man
in a big business organization is de-
cided upon as too feeble, the young
folks calmly shake him down, and he
disappears from view. Whether in
Sumatra or America it is up to each
of us to learn how to hang on SO that
the shakers, no matter how strenuous
they may be, will have no terrors for
us.

BY WILLIAM B. sHEARER

/ Component parts of railroad corpor-
ations in the United States doing an
interstate business were built under
state charters of the states in which
they were constructed and subject
to charter and laws of each state
These charters fixed the maximum
charges for transportation and limited
issues of capital stock and bonds for
additions and improvements. There
are no federal railroad charters exist
| ing, except that of the Texas and Pa
cific, which was incorporated in 1871.
The state charters gave to the rail
roads the right of eminent domain un-
der which lands needed for their pur-
pose were seized and condemned. This
right of eminent domain was based on
the principle that the right of the pub
lie at large is superior to that of any
or all individuals. 1t was granted to
railroad corporations because rail
roads were being built to serve the
public at large.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion recently stated in writing to the
writer, that all the capital stock
amounting December 81, 1921, at par
to SIS, 93S997,143 on class 1 railroad
corporations handling 95 per cent Of
all its transportation, is owned by
752,967 individuals or seven tenths of
one per cent of our population.
Ninety nine and three tenths per cent
of our population, the producers, con
sumers and the public at large, are
not stockholders.
No reasonable exception can be TAX
en- to the number of stockholders own
ms ara 'centroliine Incorporation.
When, however, such corporations
are treated as semi public Institutions
and guaranteed a return upon invest
ment, or alleged investment, directly
or Indirectly, by the government and
at the expense of 1913 per cent of the
country's population, then the 1913 per
cent can legitimately demand that an
end be made of such practice. Such
are the conditions existing today and
put into effect under the Esch- Cu1nins
act, ostensibly for a two year period
ending March 1, 1922.

Some small reductions in the per-
centages of increase in freight rates
are claimed to have been made, but
the average freight rates charged per
ton per mile by the railroads in 1922
were 81 per cent more than in 1917
the prewar year.
Passenger rates at 3.6 cents per mi.
is an increase of 80 per cent in such
states as Illinois and Wisconsin, the
states where the state laws fix the
maximum rate at 2 cents per mile.
In New York state the maximum is
fixed by its laws at cents per mile.
For the New York Central the maxi
mum rate fixed by charter and the
state law is 2 cents per mile. The
New York Central is charging 1882
cents from New York City to Buffalo,
It's legal rate under the laws of the
state is $1O.21.
The rate charged Per passenger per
mile in 1917 was 200 cents. The rate
in 1922 was 3.OSS, an increase of All
per cent imposed on 993 per cent of
our population for the benefit of seven
tenths of one per cent Of our popula-
ton.
Increased rates were based on an
assumed valuation Of $18,900,O00,000
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, alleged to be less than the book
value of the railroads fixed by them
selves. A summary of the value fixed
for roads and equipment from author
lied balance sheets for the year end
ing December, 1921, in Poor's Manual
of Railroads, shows that the railroads
themselves only claimed $14,541, O91,
400.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion therefore assumed a valuation of
80 per cent more than the railroads
themselves. charged.

ELEPHANT HOLDS ROAD

A detour is necessary on the Bloom
field road near Pulaski, Ia, where an
elephant has parked itself.
The animal, part of carnival show
arrived there five weeks ago. When
the carnival left the elephant decided
to stay. He resented efforts of his
trainer to dislodge him with tractor
and the trainer retired with broken
jaw. The tractor was wrecked. 9th
er trainers attempted without success
to move the beast, which continued to
deplete the county's baled hay crop.
Later, however, the elephant slipped
it's chain, wandered eight miles down
the road and stopped again.
A later news item from Pulaski, la.
heared Elephant Strike Broken
headed Elephant Strike Broken,
is broken and county roads are again
open to traffic. The balky beast
which came here as part of a carniv2
company several weeks ago and re
fused to leave, was today reported

join the show"
