MUST STILL SOLVE
RAILROAD PROBLEM

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. (UP)
A variety of proposals to save the
$26,000,000,000 railroad industry
from ruinous bankruptcy will be
presented to President Roosevelt
at his Forthcoming conference with
bankers, business and industrial
leaders on the railroad situation.
The conference, planned for last
week, has been held in allegiance,
ostensibly until after the interstate
commerce commission rules on the
carriers plea for a Is per cent
freight rate increase to add SSH
100000 per year to their reve-
nueS.
An ICC ruling on the railroads
rate advance plea is expected in
the near future.
Chairman Burton K. Wheeler,
(D-Mont.) of the interstate COM
merce committee which is investi-
eating financial operation of 25
major rail systems, has announced
a 9-point legislative program to
save the industry.
He proposed federal incorpora-
ton. reduction of capital to a
level consistent with the earnings
in lean" years, consolidation, and
abandonment to eliminate waste
fuP' Implications of service.
Another proposal calls for a spe-
cial court to regulate the industry
and enforce consultations, and
still another suggestion provides
for a general "over-all' company
which would issue its own stocks
and take up outstanding railroad
stocks to centralize control and
provide a means for consolidation.
There is no unified opinion on
the solution of the rail problem.

TUCSON, ARR. Feb. IS. (UP)
Gen. John J. PcrShing. displaying
vitality that surprised physicians,

first time in four days.
The commander Of the Ameri-

lies on a narrow bed in a little
cottage named Apache" for the
tribe that gave him his baptism of
fire when he was an Indian fighter
% years ago.
The first bulletin Of the day on
PerShing's condition was issued
shortly after s a. m. MIST 90 a.
H., EST by DR.. Roland Davidson.
It read:
although General Pershing had
a very restless night, he seems
somewhat better this morning and
took fluids by mouth for the first
time in four days. He has been
conscious for much longer periods.
"The body temperature has re-
turned to almost a normal level
and the heart is still competent"
DR.. Davidson brought no such
optimistic news around l a. m. to-
day when he walked down the
white corridors of the desert Sana-
torium, a hospital seven miles
from Tucson. Taking d pink slip

Solving The Farm
Surplus Problem

James F. Boyle, Professor Of Ru-
raj Economy at Cornell, recently
wrote: when 1t comes to food dis
tribution, the chain store is the
most efficient agency developed thus
far. When II comes to the so-called
agricultural surplus the chain stores
are the best agencies for moving
these SURPRISES into consumption
and this is the only solution for the
surplus problem which is logical
and sane and workable"
It is doubtful If any agency in
this country has done more for the
farmer than the chains. And 1t
hasn't cost the farmer a cent. Time
after time agricultural groups have
requested chain stores to put on
special drives for some product
turkeys, canned fruit, eggs, milk,
beef, oranges, etc. Where conditions
warranted, the chains have gone to
work on the surplus problem. And
in every case the campaigns have
been a success. Attractive window
displays, abundant newspaper adj
vertising, free recipe booklets, hand
bills, posters-these are a few Of the
devices used to interest and sell the

customers have been steadily given
more automobile for their money. The
shift from costly nand-tool to efficient
machine-tool methods is the thumb
nail story of the industry during the
past quarter-century. Today, machines
operated by one man do the wool.
which took a hundred men to do Is
years ago. Yearly, for three decades,
the amount of work turned out each
hour by each man has constantly II
creased. Even though raw material
prices moved higher, the savings or
labor were enough to allow pri es to
be progressively marked down.
The year 1887 saw a change in thai
trend. For the first time in motor his
tory, output per man-hour dropped.
Meanwhile, hourly pay scales ncreas-
ed under union demands. Taxes sky.

in the outlook for the industry.
Lifeline Levelling Off.
Summarizing these trends, I feel
that the golden days" of the motor
building business are over until new
developments come into the picture.
The automobile industry's lifeline has
shifted from a steeply rising curve to
a steady mature trend. Temporarily,
America is motor-saturated. From,
now on the industry may largely be
a replacement proposition. Cars more
economical to operate, higher incomes
for the "mass-market" buyers, and
above all a reversal of the present up
ward trend of automobile prices is
needed to give the industry new vigor,
Here is an interesting thought for
the long-pull outlook of the business.
Instead of selling cars to people who
cannot afford to pay for them, why
not develop an automobile renting
plan similar to home renting plans !?
Some of the recent financing schemes
were practically rental propositions.
Why not extend the idea in an honest
manner? There would be cars for
rent to fit every pocketbook. There
would be an increased use of auto
mobiles because those who cannot af-
ford to buy cars could afford to rent
for part of the year, at least.
Would Renting Help?
The motor-makers could then con-
troll the usedcar market Production
could be better geared. Rental rates
would include depreciation charges so
