Canadian Grain Rates

Railroads serving the wheat-producing
states of the Northwest sometimes are
charged with being unfair to the farmers
because their grain rates are higher than
those of the Canadian railroads.
Why is it that the Great Northern
cannot carry grain for as low rate
as the Canadian lines?
The explanation is that the Cana
dian government paid its railroads
and continues to pay then,-to carry
Uheat at loUer rates.
Canada adopted this policy because
the government regarded it as necessary
to attract settlers to western Canada.
The Canadian government aided the
construction of the privately-owned
Canadian railroad by givingit SIS ,0OO, 900
in cash, 25,000,000 acres of land, certain
completed lines of railroad, and
perpetual tax concessions.
Then, about forty years ago, the Cana
dian government made contract with
the railroad, granting additional cash
subsidies and lands, and providing for a
further reduction in grain rates.
And, of course, the government owned
Canadian railroad has maintained the

same rates as the privately-owneds system,
but the huge annual deficit of the govern
ment roadside 00, 900 for the one year.
1938-is paid by the Canadian taxpayersl
The Great Northern, on the other
hand, was built through the Dakotas
and to the Pacific Coast without any
assistance from the government of
any kind-no cash subsidies-no
land erants-no tax concessions.
For each mile of railroad the Great
Northern operates, it is obliged to
pay more than four times as much
taxes as the Canadian lines:
TAXES PER MILE OF LINE
Canadian Governmental Owned
system IS Z4O
Canadian Privately Owned
System -$ 255
GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY $1,042
If the Great Northern's taxes last
year had been reduced to the leuel of
the Canadian railways, on condition
that the difference be applied uholly
to a reduction of wheat rates, farmers
could haze shipped their Uheat at
LESS THAN HALF RATES!

Gone With The Wind' Again Runs Into Contrary Winds

(Copyright 1889 By United Press)
 Hollywood, Feb. IA. (UP)-The long, deferred and oft postponed mo- tion picture, Gone With the Wind," ran into some more windy going today when its director, George Cukor, quit.
 His boss, Producer David o. Selz- nick, said this was the most re- grettable incident" of his picture making career. Together they issued a statement in which they said they'd decided to part company be- cause they'd disagreed on many in- dividual scenes.
 This came as a jolt to Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, and other performers, who said they hadn't noticed any trouble on sound stage IA, where Cukor and Selznick had worked together almost con- stantly on the color recording of the troubles of Scarlett O'Hara, and her Civil War boy friend. Rhett Butler.
 The trouble seemed to have grown out of one of those Hollywood wrangles, indigenous to the movie business. Selznick borrowed Actor Gable from Metros Goldwyn-Mayer which contracted to distribute the picture. L. B. Mayer, executive vice. president of Metro, is the father in-law of Selznick. who has Cukor, one of his closest friends, under

 This was the date set in the bill passed In the house and senate em- towering the governor to name the commission.
 MT, Harris recommended that the committee at that time simply re- port to the legislature Q list of the laws that need revision. He said 1t might be well to have the commission carry over for another two years and make e complete report to the io4i assembly.
 Pension for Widow
 Strong support will be voiced at Hartford Thursday afternoon for Q bill granting 0 pension to Mrs, Helen O'Leary, or Leary widow of Lieutenant John J. oLeary of the Waterbury Fire Department. The bill, introduced by Senator George T. Culhane, will be given Q hearing with other Waterbury measures be- fore the cities and boroughs com m!ttee of the state legislature.
 Lieutenant OLeary died last year, after lengthy battle with serious illness that set in after he was critically injured April 1, 1927, while on duty. The apparatus on which he was riding rolled back ward down Pleasant street while answering an alarm, and crashed into a pole at Pleasant and Bald win streets,
 Lieutenant OLeary had to have both legs amputated and his life was despaired Of for Q considerable time. He won the admiration of doctors and nurses for his gallant stand, In the years that followed though an invalid, he retained his cheerful good nature and kept in close touch with the work of the fire department, of which he had been one of the most popular mem- bers.
 The bill introduced by Senator Culhane directs the city retirement commission to pay Q pension to Mrs. OLeary for the support Of herself and her children. There is no regular pension for widows Of fire department members under the present city charter.
 Lieutenant OLeary had been ap- pointed regular member of the fire department July 2, 1919. He was promoted to e lieutenancy January IS. 1928,

 The Connecticut union now is on the home stretch, having totaletl $s,522,78, or 77 per cent of It's quota Mrs. Ella r. Burr Of Hartford, state president, expects the quota to be exceeded during Willard week.

yendol grows more popular day by day as the many satisfied men and women living right here in town tell of the wonderful relief 1t gives. Here is what Mrs. 6imone Riberdy of 73i s. Main St., whose husband is employed by Pelletier, the Plumb CT, said in praise of this excellent compound Of Natures Roots and Herbs combined with Mild Aka lines few days ago to the Vendol Man in Apothecaries Hall Go.
 T was a victim of constipation, which caused me no end of other troubles. 7 started every day by awakening with headache and often so dizzy I could hardly roll out ol bed. I felt tired and achy, tongue was coated, and there was a terrible taste in my mouth.
 T had no appetite, but what I did "at disagreed with my stomach and caused bloating from sour, acid gas. with a choking feeling. I real- ly felt awful some days.

contract.
 Well-founded reports had 1t that M. c. M. wanted one of its own di- rectors in charge of the picture and that Selznick and Cukor had to &C., quiesce. Selznick spokesmen scoffed at the idea, while Selznick and Cukor refused to add to their typed statement.
 Cukor, known as one of the best directors in the business, with a long string of hits to his credit, leaves the picture at the end of this week. If a Metro director replaces him. the reports will be confirmed. though all this probably makes but lit- tie difference to anybody but the gone-with-the-winders.
 The picture has been before the cameras for three weeks, after two years of such scrambling around for performers as Hollywood never saw. Selznick looked over 2,5O0 young ladies as possible Scarletts. He gave actual screen tests to more than 50, including virtually every personable actress in Hollywood. Then he con- founded all the self-appointed ex- perts by giving the job to Miss Leigh, British actress who never before had played in Hollywood.

 State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. i4-- An indication that the Republican state organization will give Its sup- port to Mayor Jasper McLevy's Bridgeport school board bill, despite widespread opposition to the meas ure, is seen by observers in the radio talk given last night by Lieut. Gov. James L. McConaughy,
 Saying that he was speaking for himself and not for Gov, Raymond E. Baldwin, Dr. McConaughy de- clared that the people of Bridgeport were getting too excited over the McLevy bill, which calls for the school board members to be ape pointed by the mayor and not elected as at present. The appoint- i've board plan, he said, has worked out very well in New Haven.
 Sentiment at the Capitol today was that pr. McConaughy's re- marks may be the groundwork of

remainder will go to the education fund.
 A five-year Frances F. Willard program will be concluded on Sept 28 at Rochester, N. r., when the Na- tiofial W, c. T, U. convenes near her birthplace.
 Begun in 1884 immediately fol- lowing repeal, this program was concentrated principally on narcotic education. One broad phase of the work, divided jointly between na- tionel and state groups, was to pro- vide scientific facts and trained in- structors to carry out the laws of ~ states which provide for temperance instruction in public schools. These instructors now are working in many states, confining their efforts largely to teaching at normal schools, Material for use in religious education elso has been furnished.
 National Program
 A research library, now contain Ing 2,000 volumes, has been organ- ized. The national program has in- cluded display advertising, motion pictures, radio programs, and educa- tional film slides.
 State programs cooperated with these activities and carried on loca, work. The drive against drinking drivers started when several state w. c. T. U. officers at Evanston Ill.

@ Republican campaign to soften up" opposition to the bill and pave the way for It's passage, The Re- publicans, 1t Is understood, agreed to pass tho school board bill in ad- dition to other MeLevy measures In return for the Socialist votes which allowed them to organize the state senate in January.
 The deal may rebound to the dis- credit of the Republicans, for there will be wide mitigation, not only in Bridgeport, but about the state, If the McLevy school board measure is adopted, with Republican sup port. No single bill has aroused such strong opposition this session.
 Teachers and parents in all parts of the state have poured in thou- sands of protests against the bill. Al the public hearing two weeks ago several hundred appeared to speak against the bill, while the only ones appearing in favor were Mayor Mo. Levy and several henehmen.
 The Republicans, if the schoo board bill were part of the deal will have to go down the line for it." else the two Socialist senators will withdraw their support for Re- publican sought measures, and thus tie up all important c. o. P. legis- lation.
