expressed by c. H. Markham, presi-

in an address before the recent con-

ISOLATION.
1--WE have never favored Govern

Mr.. Markham said. eff the railroads
are taken over by the Government,
we must face the fact that the big
step in reversing our old and settled
policy will be taken. If there is no
particular reason why the Govern
ment should not own and run the
railroads, is there any reason why it
should not take over also the banks,
the stores. the factories, the farms,
until all of US are Government en-
ployees and the ideal Of the soviet is
attained? The railroads are the first
line of defense against those who
would make this country second

"The railroads have about 100000
employees, approximately as many

If the railroads are taken over by the

HISTORIC SLOOP IS DUG
FROM SANDS At MONTEREY
Supposed to Be the Ship on Which
Napoleon 6onaparte Escaped
From EIba

Monterey, Cal-The historic French
sloop Natalie, said to have been the
vessel on which Napoleon escaped
from exile on the island of Elba in
1916, was dug from the surf sands of
Monterey bay here recently. Parts Of
the old craft were salvaged for
museum purposes
For the third time In the last 25
years the tides had exposed the hulk,
at least what the waters of nearly
100 years had left of 1t, and Fl. J. Lep-
pert, blacksmith took advantage of
the opportunity Wading out into the
water he saw the sands slowly were
covering the timbers and realized that
By morning there probably would not
be a trace of the vessel In sight
He returned to his shop, got jack
screw and crowbar and enlisted the
aid of three friends. The four men
worked until nearly midnight, with
the high tide about their shoulders
and necks, before they succeeded in
forcing loose the lakewood stumps Of
the Natalie.
Finally they assembled on the
beach eleven knees" four large tim
bers, thirteen copper bolts and small
er parts Of the vessel.
A remarkable feature was the per-
feet preservation of the copper bolts,
which showed no signs Of corosion
after the tides of a century had
washed them. The men reported that
other portions of the Natalie were
too deeply embedded to be removed.
The Natalie was blown ashore here
In 1888, when the crew, a gang of
an1uggiers from Mexico, abandoned
her to attend Cascarone ball at Mon
terey. AS the crew danced at the old
Spanish fiesta, storm arose and the
vessel was beached.
She was subsequently dismantled
and part Of her timber was used to
build the Abrego house In Monterey.
Her bow Is in the M. II. de Young
Memorial museum in Golden Gate
park, San Francisco.

Bad for Public

II do not oppose Government own
ership of the railroads on behalf OF
the present owners of the railroads,
many of whom would obtain safety in
Government bonds in return for Sc
curities which have not paid a re-
turn in years. l oppose Government
ownership of the railroads because
believe that it would be bad for our
people as a whole. 1t would open the
way to Government ownership of
everything, and at the samo time it
would certainly lead to the wrecking
of our highly essential railway ser
vice, if the lessons of experience Of
fered by other nations mean anything
at all to u.s."
The Monmouth inquirer., 1924-12-11
Doubling Taxation

"Then, too, there is the matter OF
taxation. The railroads, under pri-
vate ownership, are among our heav-
lest taxpayers. Last year they paid
taxes amounting to So for every man.
woman and child In the country. In
some counties, particularly in the Mid
die West, the railroads pay from 10
per cent to nearly so per cent OF the
taxes collected. Under Government
ownership, the railroads would be no
more subject to taxation than the
post offices now are. In some way
the Government would have to make
up the difference of SO a head for
every person in the country. In many
counties the taxes on the re-
naming property would have to be
nearly doubled. The result would be
an unbearable burden that might
force many of our local governments
to stop payments on their bonds and
go into bankruptcy. The tax prob
lem would be a great deal more vexa-
tious than it is today.
''Then, too, the acquisition of the
railroads would add more than twenty
billion dollars to our national debt
II Government railroads in this coun-
try were no more successful than
they are elsewhere today in the
world, the interest on that twenty bill
lions Of purchase price would be the
cause for additional burdens on the
taxpayers left to carry It AS the tax
burden developed, it would not be
surprising to see other industries well
coming Government ownership for
themselves. They would gain inn
r.unity from taxation in turn, and
their owners probably would be pro-
tected from loss. The Constitution
prevents the conf1scation of private
property, and Government ownership
can be accomplished only by paying a
fair price for the properties taken
over.

NEW YORK, May 2.--Quiet and
steady conditions prevailed in the
first two hours trading on the
stock exchange today. There ap.
peared to be little incentive to con-
tinue the rising movement which
was in progress at yesterdays clos.

hold its previous advance was con-
sidered a good omen. Profit.taking
by traders playing for quick turns
were absorbed without sacrifice in
values, while renewed accumulation
was noticeable in standard dividend
paying issues in further fecognition
OF the lower bank rate.
An encouraging feature was the
complete absence of bear pressure
which was ascribed to the inclina.
ton in many quarters to view the
outlook more hopefully. This might
have been partly the result of the
latest action Of the New York Fed
eral Reserve officials, but it was
recognized that various favorable
factors had been overlooked in the
recent decline, the Importance of
which might have a considerable
bearing on speculative movements
from now on, such as putting into
operation the Dawes report and the
probability OF tax reduction before
Congressional adjournment, some
what more in line with the Mellon
proposals.
BUSINESS was extremely quiet in
the first half hour or so, but the
hiking OF call money renewal rate
at ga per cent was followed by a
sllght ,Qutckening Of the pace and a
general tirming UP in values. Stocks
whose dividends were regarded as
absolutely safe received foremost
attention, notably Baldwin, U. s.
