MERGER PROGRAM TO SOLVE RAILWAY
PROBLEM FAVORED
BY JAMES S. PARKER
Congressman From New York.

Congressman From New York.
Games Southworth Parker was born in Great
Darlington, Mass, June 3, 1867. He attended
Cornell university for three years. Formerly a
teacher at st. Pauls school, Concord, N. H., he
has been a farmer at Salem, N. Y, since 1898.
In 1904 and 1905 he was a member Of the New
York state assembly and again from 1908 to 1912.
He has served as a congressman from the 10Th
New York district since 1918, and is a republican,.
Solution of the railroad problem in the United
States lies in the adoption of a plan of consolidation
or unification, whereby the roads of the country can
be combined into a very limited number of strong,
efficient transportation systems.
The systems which make up the consolidation pro-
gram should be so constituted that there will be COM
petition between the various systems as to service;
I do not say competition in rates because the rates
are a matter of regulation.
The railways are subjected to a tremendous
amount of regulatory legislation, enacted both by
state legislatures and the national congress, and !
doubt very much if the strenuous task that is re-
quired to draw a complicated bill. such as any i'm
portant railroad bill, is appreciated.
In the beginning the impelling motive was the ex-
tension of roads into the large trade centers in order
to increase the ability to handle the expanding traf-
fic, to permit the continuous handling of traffic, and
to avoid delays and expense in frequent transfers
Subsequently. however. the movement became actu-
ated BY a desire to combine competing systems. and
the stranglehold Of monopoly was substituted as the
goal to be gained.
We will never get an adequate system Of unifica-
ton until the various strong lines are willing to sit
down and deal with one another across the table with
the cards face up, to do what is in the best interests
of the public and not soley what is in the interest OF
the individual lines. for I believe that in the long
run the public interest is identical with the railroads
interest,"

glad he was not going to be ruffled
by it.
That night, after she went to bed,
Betty lay long awake, facing her
problem. She knew she was in dam
ger from constant contact with
Andy Adair. She had always liked
him better than any other man,
Now that she knew it was not his
fault that he did not come to the
hospital to see her, her love for him
had it's second blooming.
She would rather be Andy Adair's
secretary than George Harris wife.
She faced the fact that she was
trying to work her way out OF
Georges business with the hope
that he would fall in love with his
red-headed head waitress. She
knew this girl wanted him, and
hoped she would get him.
But if George asked her to marry
him there was no way she could
! refuse him. She was quite conscious
Of all he had done for her. While
she had paid him back every penny
there was nc escape if he wanted
her. 1t was only the cash obliga-
ton she had settled, not the obliga-
ton of kindness.
She sighed deeply and dropped
into fitful sleep.

SMALL ORDER BUGBEAR
WORRIES WHOLESALER

WASHINGTON, March 16.-P-
The new era Of hand-to-mouth buy
ing, which many economists believe
has provided a firm foundation for
American prosperity through elm
mating risks of carrying large in
ventories, has been accomplished by
that stray dog despised by sellers
and distributors-the small order.
Many manufacturers and diStrib-
utors complain that buyers are Or
dering in needlessly small lots, and
splitting up their orders among too
many concerns, thus greatly increas-
ing the cost Of distribution through
time wasted interviewing too many
statesmen and unnecessary expense
in handling and checking the larg-
er number Of invoices and ship
ments.

INCOME TAX RELIEF
New York Herald-Tribune)

New York Herald-Tribune).
A statement of the republican tax plans coming
from Albany promises that after dropping the state
tax on realty relief will be given to the income-tax
payer. It is said that when "a proper plan can be
arranged to change our revenue-producing law or
when sufficient income is received there will be a re-
duction made to income-tax payers, and eventually
the income tax will be abolished, in accordance with
a plan being contemplated by the republican party"
This statement is highly welcome as evidence that
the legislative leaders have seen a new light. They
are beginning to realize the economic and political
advantages Of disseminating the personal income tax.
They are coming around to the sensible program out
lined by Mr.. Ottinger last fall in his speech accepting
the republican nomination for governor. That was a
sound program. The personal income tax in this
state duplicates the federal personal income tax and
~interferes with a proper distribution Of sources of
revenue between the state and the federal govern
ment. 1t is a highly complicated and annoying tax,
imposing great labor and worry on the taxpayer. It

WASHINGTON, March l0.-Dr.
Ray Lyman Wilbur is the easiest
cabinet member to get to that I
ever encountered.
His desk is just around the cor
ner from the main entrance to his
suite in the interior department.
invisible from the doorway but with
in reach of the official usher, who
instantly passed my card to the new
secretary himself, and already was
pointing me to a hatrack as the doc
tors voice invited, Come in"
Such celebrity in a government
department is almost uncanny, and
leaves a visitor rather breathless
and unprepared with the questions
he had intended to ask.
However, it probably did not
greatly matter, for DR.. Wilbur had
been in the cabinett barely "a hours
at tn etime, and frankly explained.
I'm on the receiving end yet"
Nevertheless, he added, if anyone
called and wanted to see him, as a
public servant he considered it his
business to be seen, with no undue
delay about it.
"The trut his" continued the Sec
rotary, who, though elevated to his
post in MI. Hoover's official family
from the presidency of Stanford
university, primarily is a doctor OF
medicine, IT am still busy diagnos-
ing my various patients cases
meaning his departmental prob
lens.
II don't want to make the mistake
of treating any Of them, say, as
measles, only to find out too late
that the disease really, for instance,
is typhoid"
Whether or not the doctor intend
ed to imply by this remark that
there appear to him to be things
in the interior department which
need remedying I am unable to state
certainly. I tried to persuade him
to amplify, but he only repeated
that he was ION the receiving enc
yet"
Anyone who meets DR.. Wilbur aft
or some little acquaintance with his
brother, Curtis Dwight Wilbur, the
recently retired secretary of the
navy, cannot possibly expect to fine
him anything but an exceptionally
fine fellow. There may be a plur.

but there can be no two as to his
all-around admirable qualities as an
individual.
In point Of fact, the doctor strong
ly suggests his elder-he is only 81
and there are eight years between
them.
He resembles him facially, even to
his gold-bowed glasses. He resem-
bles him in his tremendous stature
s feet 2 or 3 at least-but is still
very spare, though he looks fit and
active, whereas Curtis ID. has taken
on a good deal Of embonpoint.
The two are much alike also In
kindness and consideration Of man
ner and humor Of expression.
Thoroughly nice peoplel
DR.. Wilbur may be on the "res
ceiving end" of the interior depart
ment thus far, but he did drop the
observation that he has been inter-
ested for a long while in such ques-
tons al the department principally
deals with, and has given them con-
siderable study.
This might be Surmised to include
power questions, among others-es-
pecially in a Californian, like the
doctor.
There seemed to be nothing to
gain by asking him for his views,
as between public and private de-
velopment of power projects-after
What President Hoover said rela-
tive to the government in busi-

his appointment of DR.. Wi~ur to

Star Lore

1t was a popular notion in the
early centuries that the stars we're
golden nails driven through a crys-
tai sphere and clinched on the un-
der side. Sir William Herschel In
the 18th century began to discover
the real nature Of the stars. After
1860 the spectroscope am to be
used for analyzing the physical
composition Of stars. They are Svast
globes Of incandescent gas, consist
ing Of such chemical elements as
found in our planet. Physical mat
ter exists in one of three states-a
solid, a liuid. or a gas. 1t Is believ-
ed the world was a temporary hot

FRENCH FAIRLY SURE
TO RATIFY SCHEDULE

PARIS, March 18.-(P)-The rati-
fication of the Acknowledgment debt
accord by France early in 1929 is
regarded as certain by students of
French finances, who draw their
conclusion from the voting of the
1929 budget just passed by parlia-
ment.
No credit was inscribed in the
budget to meet the payment of
$400, 900 900 due on August l for
the purchase of American war
stocks left in France. An appropri-
alton of $4,000, 900 or SIG, 300, 600
francs, to be exact, is made to pay
the interest on that particular debt.

the results you get" answered
Andy, solemnly.
We'll, my gosh, somebody has
to feed me, why not this firm?"
asked Larkin. "Oh, well, if you
got secrets I'll be on my way" He
rolled the cigar from one side of
his mouth to the other and passed
on.
One evening when Betty was
taking the cash at the restaurant
Larkin and Saunders came in to
dinner. Betty watched them a bit
anxiously. She thought there might
be some objection by the Hotel
Supply company to her holding
down two positions.
why, bless my soul, look who's
here!" cried Larkin, as they came
up to pay their checks.
why, do you eat food?" asked
Betty. Il thought you ate only
cigars"
What you doing here? Have
you left the office? Anything
wrong?" asked Saunders.
81 take cash here during the
dinner hour every day." explained
Betty. Il used to work here. I am
on duty from six to eight every
day, and get my breakfast and din
ner for it. Do you think Mr.. Adalr
would mind?"
IT don't see why he should" said
Larkin. Wish I could find some
place where I could do it,"
What you want is to work a
couple of hours a day in a tobacco
nist's for your daily supply of
cigars"
THAT reminds me. I need some
cigars. What you got?"
None of the ragged ones you
chew!" laughed Betty. But I
could send some back to the kit
chen and run them through the
slaw cutter we bought from the
Hotel Supply company"
They bought cigars and went
out. George Harris came over to
the desk, and remarked: Those
are new customers. Are they
friends of yours?"
Both of them work in my Of
flee. One is chief clerk in charge
and the other the salesmanager."
They seem very pleasant gen.
tlemen."
They are both as nice as they
can be-" answered Betty, with en-
thusiasm. George, their coming
here reminds me. I didn't tell any
n at the office that I worked
here for a couple of hours in the
evening. I didn't think of it. I'm
not ashamed of it, but do you sup
pose they might object?"
why, I hadn't thought Of that"
replied George. st don't see how
they could"
MI. Saunders is the head clerk
and the office manager. He said
nothing about it. I suppose I ought
to ask him."
THAT is right and proper"
agreed George.
But what a I do if they OBJ
ject?"
Nothing but stop working here, I
suppose" answered George. But
1 hope they don't object. I don't
want you to drift away from me
again, Betty. I want to feel that
I am in close touch with you all
the time"
did you keep the paper I sign
ed when you gave me the type
writer?"
Il have it in my desk"
whenever the thought that !
am drifting away from you enters
your head, get it out and read it.
Ill make good on that promise
whenever you want me to, George.
"Oh I want you to try your wings.
If your position here interferes with
work in your chosen field, drop it.

your meals SO I can see you daily
You know I will, George!" an

NEW YORK, March 18.-In 1906,
when the Aerial Garden (now the
Ziegfeld Frolic) was opened by
Klaw and Erlanger, they found II
tough shedding enticing people to
get into the elevator leading to the
Roof theater. At the time, Fay
Templeton was featured. After her
initial performance she received a
daily rhymed mash note, flowers
and gifts from a person named
Thomas Lanphier, but the star
snubbed him, sent back his pres
ents and otherwise broke his heart.
When the Albany Night Boat
locked upstate one morning, a
stateroom revealed a photo of Miss
Templeton, some letters written to
her, some verse and a hat contain
ing the initials "T. L." The poems
told Of undying love, a bruised set
OF heart strings, and so forth.
Mark Luescher later explained
the suicide to the papers, and the
front pages carried the story. That
night the crowds came to see Fay
Templeton, and after that she was
a definite hit.

and not until several weeks had
passed was the remorseful Miss
Templeton tipped off that 1t was ali

there never was a person named

The passionate verse she receiv-
ed (Which the newspapers said re-
vealed genius) was actually written
by one Of the owners of the failing
theater, Marc Klaw!
