til she is fully recovered in health

George Hansen, the genial repre-
sentative of the Mergenthaler Limo
type Co., was taken i'll last week
when driving from the upper part
of the state and was ill at the Mellen
Hotel for a couple of days. Thurs
day he thought he was able to travel,
but was able to get only as far as
Glenns Ferry, when his malady, OBJ
struction of the bowels, again
nabbed him. Dr. o. P. Hamilton
made trip to the Ferry Friday and
brought Mr.. Hansen to the Harley
home, where he remained until
Wednesday of this week. On leay-
ing town George let it be known that
he didn't like to be sick, but if he
had to be he hoped in the future
1t would be at Mountain Home. All
of which speaks we'll for his physi
clan and nurse.

to feel ashamed of their previous rec
ord. But they need assistance in
the way of better fire fighting ia
cilities. We are willing to pay more
taxes in order that the firemen and
policemen might receive more recon-
pense for their services, which is
out of all proportion to the salaries
which they receive at present. 1t
is only fitting that those who have
dedicated their lives to the safety OF
others, might be as well paid as
the average day laborer.
There is room for improvement in
the way of elevated street corners
and railway crossings At the rail-
road, the street can be made into
subway or it could be elevated.
Either way will be cheaper when the
cost of accidents is counted.
Elevated street crossings in the
business district of our city would
be safer than leaving them as they
are. 1t would be no great expense,
and would help to make our city
better place in which to live.
Not the least among the improve
ments needed are the recreational
ones. A rest room for the women
who come in from the country and
a free nursery would result in more
women coming in to Modesto to shop.
One device to make better citizens
of the children is a gymnasium and
swimming pool. Boys would rather
swim and box than loaf around
town. They will be among better
society than they would by loung-
ing around the pool halls.
These Improvements, if put in,
would make Modesto one of the SAT-
est, cleanest and prettiest cities in
California. They would give the
taxpayers more for his taxes; they |
would boost Modesto to outsiders
and best of all, they will help to
make the children of Modesto better
citizens.

try, the glorious public schools, the
private schools, the courts of the
country, the commercial enterprises
and be happy together in this repub-
lie here on this earth as we hope to
meet each other and to be happy in
Gods own kingdom once in heaven.
Greater love has none than he
who gives his life for his friend, and
1 think, when on memorial day 1
look at the graves of the soldiers,
what a. glorious entry into heaven
this soul received.
I'm sure it is (as if heard them)
the heavenly harps struck up their
most beautiful strains for He gave
His life that we may have it abund-
antly.
"My dear people let us therefore
over these graves jealousy guard
the precious harmony and unity and
truly help one another.
And may Almighty God bless us
in faith that illumes our pilgrimage
from earth to heaven; bless us in
the hope that encourages US i nlife's
dark moments, that will come to all
where we overlook faults and see
of us, and in blessed sweet charity,
only the good that each of us has
And in that spirit may everyone in
Glenns Ferry be blessed, and may
God bless you Father
Son and Holy Ghost"

The usual stream of "foaters" are
passing through Glenns Ferry on the
limited number of freight trains go
ing east and west, seeking new fields
of labor. Glenns Ferry being a di-
vision point, has many such passen-
gers, as all trains are delayed here
for some time before proceeding on
their journey. AS rule they are a
well behaved crowd and for the most
part are young men of fine type
who are hunting for place where
they can honestly earn living.

That you have made my freedom
so complete,
That I'm no slave of whistle, clock q
or bell u
Or weak-eyed prisoner of wall and
street
Just let me live my life as I've begun
And give me work that's open to
the sky;
Make me a partner of the wind ANDY
sun,
And I won't ask life that's soft
and high.
Let me be easy on the man that's ,
down
And make me square and generouss,
with all;
I'm careless sometimes, Lord, when
Pm in town,
But never let them say Pm mean
or small.
Make me as big and open as the
plains,
AS honest as the horse between
my knees,
Clean as the wind that blows behind
the rains,
Free as the hawk that circles
down the breeze.
Forgive me, Lord, when sometimes
1 forget;
You understand the reasons that
are hid,
You know about the things that gall
and fret;
You know me better than my
mother did.
Just keep an eye on an that's done
and said, g.
Just right me sometimes when I
turn aside,
And guide me on the long dim trail
ahead
That stretches upward and toward
the Great Divide.

The recent cuts in employees in
every branch of the railroad serv-
ice, with probability of still fur
ther cuts, has very depressing eff
feet on business and upon the town
in general. Railroad business seems
today at the lowest ebb it has been
for many years. While there is
plenty of work in the building line
many of the railroaders are laying
off or working out of other places
where they hold seniority rights.

PULLMAN SURCHARGE
HELD UNREASONABLE
Discontinuance of Practice Recon-.
mended to I. G. G. by
Examiner.
PURELY RELIEF MEASURE
One Payment for ALI Service Pro.
posed.

Surcharges paid on passenger
fares by Pullman travellers were held
unreasonable and discontinuance of
the practice was recommended in a
report of an examiner for the Inter
state Commerce Commission made
public yesterday. Arguments in the
case before the commission were as
signed for May 8.
Considering that the railroads are
saved the capital investment in Pull
man equipment and other facilities
necessary to maintain and to an
extent operate the cars and that most
Of the railroads are receiving sub
stantial payments out OF the charges
collected for the Pullman service
proper, the report said, 1t is believed
the time has come when the commits
sion may well eliminate the sur
charges.
An inquiry into the reasonableness
Of the surcharSe rates was instituted
by the commission at the request of
travellers organizations, chambers of
commerce, shippers, hotel associa-
tions and other associations.
The examiner recommended that
greater use of upper berths in Pull
mans be enforced by the railroads
to reduce the expense of providing
sleeping car service, and advanced
the opinion that even if the railroads
are not adequately repaid under their
Pullman contracts for hauling the
heavier Pullman cars, the roads have
no right to impose a surcharge ito
recoup losses growing out OF their
improvldence in failing to make con-
tracts which would afford them
proper compensation for the service
of hauling the cars
The Pullman passenger receives
a higher class of service than the
coach passenger and should pay more
for it," the report said. but the pay
ments should be through the Pull
man charge proper, and not spread
out in two charge, one collected by
the Pullman company and the other
by the railroad. Under such An ar
rangensent the Pullman charges
the revenue necessary to enable the
Pullman company TO meet its obiiga-
tions to the railroads and also pro-
vide a fair return on its own opera
tions.
Under tho present system, with
two transportation agencies charg-
ing for what should be one service,
opportunity for duplicate and eXces-
sive charges is multiplied and regu-
Iation made more difficult. The pres
ent system, devised temporarily to
meet an emergency, is illogical and
unscientific as a permanency."
The Pullman surcharge is so per
cent of the amount charged FOR the
snace occupied by the passenger, and
was established August &c. 1920. to
produce additional revenues with
which to meet an increase in wages
awarded to railroad employees by the
2 aIIroad Labor Board.

HOUSE GETS POSTAL
PAY INCREASE BILL
Kelly Urges Early Action on Meas
ure Calling for Flat Raise Of
$500 for Employees.

The revised postal salaries bill,
completed by the House post office
committee yesterday, was Immediate
1y reported to the House, where an
effort will be made to get early ac-
ton.
The House committee approved a
time differential proposed by Repre-
sentative Kelly, Republican, Pennsyl-
yania, which would give postal work
ers on duty between pm. and 6
am. the same pay credit for fifty
minutes work as is accorded day
workers for an hour. 1t was esti-
mated that 20 per cent of the clerical
force and most of the railroad mail
clerks would be benefited
Another change in the bill would
provide for six claSsificationS of rail-
way mail clerks instead Of seven, as
proposed in the bill. The maximum
salary which would go to clerks in
charge would be s2,700-an increase
would be fiat increase of $500 for
other classi1cations.
Tho committee recommended that
the yearly pay of rural mail carriers
who are in two clasSiications should
be increased from $1,000 to 81, 400 and
from $1,100 to $1,000, with substitutes
receiving fifty cents an hour.
The bill provides for a fat increase
OF $500 q year for clerks carriers,
inspectors and supervisors, Mr.. Kelly
making no attempt today TO call for
another vote on his amendment, de-
feated several days ago, which would
make the increase $500.
