Times Change.

ed IN an era when Immigrants would
stand hardships.
Within my own day I have seen
them settling, say, the Dakotas. A
family would arrive under COVER

its own we'll, light itself with can
dies, reckon with its own midwifery.
1t cannot be done today by second
or third generation pioneers.
:. Ihey have got to have electric
lights, telephones, Geographic COM
munlcation, radio Maybe a few
aborigines in the remoter jungles
will stand for the lack of some of
these modern improvements - but
civilized immigrants will not. They
Will not lmmigrate if they realize
what they are going up against. They
will not do it to get off relief, even.
Climatic Conditions.
Aside from all that, the average

tropics without killing it.
And suppOsing it did live under
new conditions, could it find mar

All Have Frizzled.

Railroad Outlook Again
Brightens Over Country
Continued From Page One)

(OOnLlnu0Q FROM PaQG OnG)
ders for more than $4,000 tons of
steel rails and accessories have al
ready been placed in 1885," Here Is
another: 'The line plans to take on
800 men now, with 5000 additional
employees in the summer" Still an
other: "The railroads have just made
inquiries for 85 new locomotives :"
This all means more jobs for steel,
machine shop, and railroad workers,
better service for passengers and
shippers, bigger earnings for railroad
equipment investors. Railroad en-
plOyment is still far below the 1887
peak and somewhat under a year
ago, but the outlook promises many
more jobs this spring.
What are behind these important
news announcements? Let me list
some of the most important points.
/. Studies show the railroads are
not, at this time, losing additional
freight traffic to trucks and other
competitive means of transportation.
2. Railroad traffic is four per cent
back to the level of 1885, and above
1882, 1888 and 1884.
3. The gain in traffic has boosted
gross revenues IS per cent.
4. Economies in railroad operations
and curtailed maintenance expendi-
lures are allowing the roads to turn
this Is per cent gam IN gross rev.
enueS into 100 per cent increase in
net income.
5. In the latest month, most of the
roads are paying their bills and
taxes, meeting their payroll and in
terest charges, and still have some
income left over.
6. Congress seems to be in a help
full frame of mind. There should be
some constructive legislation from
Washington this session.
T. The roads are under better
management. There is evidence of
less banker-laWyer influence.
8. Labor costs are high for bust
ness just keeping its head above
water, Labor leaders, however, are
showing more cooperation.
8. Service is better. After years of
"sleep-walking", the roads are taxi
ing a genuine interest in giving the
best-possible service.
10. Savings in cost of operations
through better materials and more
efficient equipment are enormous.
Some Gloomy Problems.
Against this background of bet
ter news loom some real obstacles.
Many people believe they can never
be hurdled short of government own
ership-or, at least, by the govern
ments buying first mortgage three
per cent bond issue on the roads,
thus enabling them to reduce interest

an objection being increasingly en-
phaSlzed by "drys". And that is the
fundamental objection to bringing Ii
quor into the taxing system of the
State as basic source of revenue
Many so-called vets, along with the
equally mis-named drys, believe
that if the State or any Of its sub
divisions will sell liquor the entire
profits from such sale should be US
ed for enforcement of liquor laws.
