ORVATiON BEFORE
CONGRESS

Within the next few months
the present Congress will con
slider changes and additions to
the laws governing regulation OF
our transportation agencies. It's
a matter which deserves the
greatest interest not only of
every legislator and public Off
cial. but every citizen who is 10
terested in his country's future.
The railroads will come before
Congress with very modest re.
quest. Briefly it is this: That
equality Of regulation be extend
ed to all forms of transportation,
and that all be considered part
of q unified system in which each
will serve the public to the best
of its capabilities, rather than as
separate entities accorded diver
gent legal treatment. That is
certainly about as logical pro
gram as anyone could desire.
The railroads are still the most
important gear in the transport
machine - and they're getting
tbe least grease. Minimum rates
are established for them-and
they are not allowed to make re.
ductions even though highway
carriers and waterways parallel
their lines and provide transport
at 9 much cheaper price. BE
fore they can make any rate
changes whatsoever they must
give 80 days notice-whiie their
competitors can make changes
overnight and q dozen times a
day, without notifying anyone.
Tue rails will ask that these
two provisions of the law, along
with similar restrictions which
have made it impossible for them
to meet increasing and partly
subsidized competition. be chang
ed. They will ask that all trans
port regulation be handled by a
central agency, preferably the
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, which has been 10 existence
for decades. knows transport
problems intimately and has an
expert organization bpilt up. 1t
ths changes are made, as most
observers believe they will be, it
be to the interest Of all investors,
all workers, all citizens.

SILVeR-THE NEXT STEP

The Presidential proclamation
fixing the price of silver at GAL
cents per ounce is, in the view of
a number of monetary experts,
simply the first important step
in bringing the silver problem to
logical conclusion.
The 64a cent price marks q
deflnite advance over recent sill.
YER quotations. But during the
last few months there has been
jump ia the value of gold Of
more than fifty per cent, as part
OF the governments dollsr de.
valuation policy. The result is
that silver, in relation to gold, is
acually cheaper than usual.
II is the belief of many that
the essential thing is the estab.
lishment of definite relation in
the values of gold and silver-so
that when gold goes up or down.
the value of silver will auto.
matically follow. They believe
that only in this way can foreign
trade be really stimulated. and
our lost commerce regained.
This theory, of course, has its
expert opponents. precisely as it
has it's expert advocates. That
is an excellent thing-the de.
bate will bring it-before the pub.
lie. and widen the general knowl.
edge Of the whole question OF
money. It is something for
every citizen to watch.

HOPeFuLNESS FOR COPPER
TRADE IS EXPRESSED BY
MRS. GREENWAY

Washington. - Representative
Isabella Grean way stated that
the tentative copper agreement
made by fabricators. refners and
mining companies under which
fabricators would use three tons
OF newly mined copper for one
ton taken from stock. was one of
the most extraordinary express
sions OF the new deal in industry.
The unselfish willingness of
the people WITH large stocks OF
copper on hand to freeze
them to q great extent to guar.
antee their current consumption
and the current production"
Mrs. Greenway said, was such
an expression.
It will work hardship in
the cases of some of the com.
psnies with thu biggest stock on
hand, and it is the belief of
every body concerned that such
a pulc spirited stand cannot fail
to succeed ia stabilizing the in.
dustry, and in encouraging the
consumers to venture into the
field of purchasing again.
1t is sincerely hoped that the
federal government will re.
co9nize the sacrifice being made
and the risk being taken in dol.
lars and cents by the copper in.
dustry, by making some provi.
sion for the use of copper and
brass in the public works pro-
gram.
1t is important to labor that
the mines be reopened, and this
proposed agreement, which has
almost unanimous support from
the industry, believe, will re-
suit ia the gradual reopening of
the mines.
II am immensely interested in
the welfare Of the copper miners.
They are not group Of people
who can be judged from one in.
dustry to another. They con.
stitute as fine a group of citizens
as can be found ia the United
States"

Born in Morrisburg, Canada, 81
years ago, Mr.. Mack was educated
at Georgetown University, Wash
ington. D. c., and later became a
naturalized citizen of the United
States.
He scored his first stage sue.
cess in Salt Lake City, and for
nine years was a famous stock
player in that city. Only a few
days ago he expressed a wish to
his close friend, Bryan Foy, that,
should he pass away, he would
be buried at Salt Lake City,
scene of his early success.
Mr.. Mack authored "a stage
plays, of which 26 were produced
on Broadway. His hig hits were
"Tiger Rose" The Dove" and
"Kick In"
He was under contract to
David Belasco for IL years and
very close to the famous pro-
ducer for many years.
At one time he had four Broad
way plays going at one time.
He was noted for his ability
to pick successful actresses. Mae
Clark, Barbara Stanwyck, Lenore
Uric and Marjorie Rambeau
were among those he was credited
with having started or aided on
the way to stardom.
He had just completed a pic
ture at the Bryan Foy studios
for Columbia entitled Call to
Arms" which he wrote, directed,
and in which he played the lead,
ing role. The picture was an anti
radical story with a strong plea
for American ideals. One of the
players in the picture was Lou
Tellegen, stage and screen star
who recently committed suicide
Mr.. Mack was to have started
work on another new picture he
had just written, "Impie," at the
same studio Wednesday.
His first picture was aloha
