tions for the benefit of the railroads.
We can only apply such regulation
and assess such taxes as would be
necessary if there were no railroads
and let the effect be what it may"
They say in conclusion: Some rail-
roads can hope to survive only on
drastic reorganization and scaling
down of fixed obligations"
1t has been suggested that the rail-
roads have been badly mismanaged
financially. They have a first mort
gage of $4,000, 100000 upon a $685.
000,O0O,OO0 property. Instead of re-
tiring bond issues when matured they
are refunded and large sums are
added for improvements. Earnings
are paid out to stockholders and
money is borrowed, adding to their
overhead and interest payable-over
one half billion dollars annually be-
ing paid out in interest. Their in
vestment is to a large extent ficti-
tious.
There has been a lot of demand
for a cut in automobile license tax.
] am heartily in favor of scaling
down that tax. The House bill pro-
vides for a cut of 100000 in auto
license tax. l will support an in
crease in truck tax but not an in
crease of 2OO% or 1000. 1 am en-
tirely in favor of limiting the weight
load and length of motor vehicles.
The present length permissible is 63
feet. If we limit that to As feet as
recommended by the National Safety
Council, or 80 feet as provided in the
proposed bill, we would have a great
improvement.

and the National Grange have issued
protests and warnings against the
proposed railroad strangulation of
truck transportation. The Central
Cooperative Livestock Association
goes one step farther and recommends
that the railroads be taken from reg
ulatiOn of the Railroad and Ware
house Commission so as to give the
transportation systems free open COM
petition.
Besides that / have a stack of tele-
grams and letters asking me to op-
pose all truck bills in their present
form. l have the personal word of
Governor Olson that he would not
sign the bills in their original form.
I'll say this, House File No. 331 as
amended is not bad and l could have
voted for it, but out of appreciation
to the men who helped amend the bill
so as to make it less objectionable,
| stuck with them. / am supporting
the Railroad Brotherhoods on their
legislation but when they propose
laws to increase the cost of trans
portation l am not with them. AS far
as paying taxes, the motor vehicle
has paid 1870 on valuation. The rail-
roads have paid 1.4@o on valuation.
The proposed bill, H. F.. No. 1872,
would make an increase of 4OO% in
license tax. AS amended in COM
mittee it would make an increase of
250%.
Should Not Raise Transportation Cost.
During the arguments on truck Ii
cense fees, we must bear in mind the
fact that the license fee is a replace
ment for property tax and the use
of the highway is taken care of by
the tax on gasoline. Also the motor
vehicles pay tax on oil, tires, tubes,
accessories and trucks. The public
does not demand that laws be en-
acted to raise transportation costs.
The public pays the freight and l do
not believe we should penaliZe the
public for the sole benefit of a COM
peting agency.
Railroads are charging the most
excessive carload rates in all history.
In 1881 they received an over all 1870
increase. Still in force. They have
request with the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission for another
increase in the livestock rates. The
trucks take only 40 or $50 of the
total freight. Yet the railroads are
unwilling to stand competition on this
small amount of business.
You are broad minded enough to
know that the Citizens Transporta-
tion League is nothing but railroad
propaganda. Millions of dollars in
time and money has been spent by
the railroads and brotherhoods in an
effort to strangle that small percen-
tage of competition handled by the
motor trucks.

TO teach Junior to care for his toys
and clothing"
And he never suspected?"
NO" replied Mrs. DOran. THE
responsibility has given him a keen
interest. AS soon as Junior began
playing with Mocks, Daddy. without
making an issue of it, taught him
that putting away the blocks was
just part of the fun.
"He did the same with Alice. And
he began very early to teach them
how to care for their clothing. He
has put up hooks for them within
easy reach, and he always thinks to
set a good example. His cooperation
with me in their development has
been invaluable to the children and
a delight and comfort to me-"

Mr.. Doran had come home tC

piano he threw his summer over
coat across a chair and went to the

Mrs. Doran did not seem to notice
this carelessness; she went on
speaking as though nothing unusual
had happened.
Returning from the kitchen Mr.
Doran asked, Mother, where are
Junior and Alice?"
"They are out playing house" re-
piled Mrs. DOran.
We'll. I'll put these away then.
said Mr.. DOran, gathering up his hat
and coat. After hanging them in the
hall closet, he went out to find the
children.
"Why cid he do that?" I asked.

teaching by example. He often
throws things down as though he
had forgotten, then when the chill
dren are watching him he picks
them up. I'm too big to leave my
clothes there for Mother to pick up,
he will say, and then he puts them
away carefully while the children
watch him."
How did he become so interested
in helping the children to form right
habits?" l asked.
Just then, Mr.. DOran came in
smiling. Mother, what do you sup

proudly. "They had been using the
sammer out there and Junior
wouldn't play until he had put it
back in its place. I'm too big to
