RAILROAD KEEP UP
 FIGHT FOR RATES
Argue Against Repeal Of Trans
 pOrtatiOn Act Sections.

Washington, April 12.-Railroad
 representatives continued today before
 the senate interstate commerce com-
 mittee their argument against repeal
 of the rate sections of the transporta-
 ton act.
 Howard Elliott, chairman of the
 board of Northern Pacific, predicted
 such action would shake the confi- dence of the investing public and
 prove detrimental to shippers and em- ployes alike.
 ''To my mind" MT. Elliott said, "there will be more protection given
 the 10,000.000 people who are using
 the railroads, and to the 2,000,000 people who own the securities of the railroads, besides the 5o,000,000 who are interested in life insurance poli- cies. savings banks, etc, if congress in its wisdom should for the present in trying to make amendments to the transportation act and permit stabili- ty of regulation and stability of rail- road conditions.
 Section 15-A Is q Fundamental part of the act and helps to bring that pro- tection to the railroad systems of the United States that is essential, particu- larly to the well-being of the users of the railroads. Its repeal would be a notice to the investing public that the congress was unwilling to continue reasonable and protective provision of the act which is helpful in obtaining new capital for railroads.
 "The transportation act as a whole is an honest ssnd constructive effort re- sulting from many years of discussion and debate and provides reasonably stable and yet flexible system. 1t has hardly had time to function under settled economic conditions"
 In 1918, Mir. Elliott said, the six railroads in the northwest had net railway operating income of s11o,s9a,39i or 2a.7 cents out Of each dollar of revenue. In 1923 they had sS7,t42,12s, or tS.s cents out of each dollar, while meantime there has been invested in road enquipment s597, 7,000,000. The Northern Pacific In 1916 earned a rate of return Of 6.71 per cent, while in 1923 1t was 2.9s per cent.
 Section I5-A had not prevented re- in freight rates, he said, | the annual report of the interstate commerce showing that reductions during the calendar year 1923 lessen- ed the total freight transportation charges paid by the shipping public | by more than s1,5OO,00o.

According to fisheries service bull

ture. II has long been known that the
proper functloning of the thyroid
gland In man and animals is condi-
toned upon the presence OF an ade-
quate amount Of iodine and that the
lack of iodine Is associated with
disorders such as goiter, cretin-
ism, etc. Iodine usually is admins
tered in some form as preventive of
or treatment Cor thyroid engagements.
but as general preventive of such
recognized that some more generally
applicable means must be found.
Psychologists and physicians recently
have called attention to the probable
ity that sea foods might constitute an
agreeable and convenient source of
iodine for the public at large. IL so,
1t would be necessary only to encour-
age the consumption of sea foods to
prevent the thyroid troubles referred
to.
