Now the people will expect a reduction in freight rules. Men, who a year ago, could see noth ing in government ownership, it re lxgimiing to 'wonder if that is the outcome of the railroads in Hub country. Officials of the roads at the present time say they cannot reduce rates -even though lower labor costs -obtain ; they contend they are- losing money all the time. If their contentions are true, and no one him successfully denied them, then is not the railroad business in dire need of consolidation, not possibly undr government ownership for many of us would regret very much to take such a long step, but under some form that will unify transportation, eliminate dupli cation, cut cost of operation to the limit of safety and fairness and give to the people railroad rates that will give fair earnings on actual value, but refuse to recognize inflated rates. 'The railroads of America are now on trial. This country i bound' to have transportation at a fair cost regard iless of clamor or charges and counter charges.- It may take a little j while to bring this ubout, but it is bound to come. . .. - ui QrM S U5IN AM AU TO HUklN INiTCAD OP A WHIP HE jfi& HAS DCUBU:'D HIJ Mlt-EAQe ON EVERY ' tffy j '.JOAr Or CT3 h'ws' tt jk. ;. a. j, j. j;: y, jj; : 8j A WII'AT OTHBHS THINK 'it - THE OFFICE CAT- ! K tf- f THE LONG-DEFERRED VACATION. A New York man is taking his second vacation in T0 years. Forty-two years ago, when he was married, lie and. his wife took a honeymoon trip to Albany. Now they have gone to visit relatives in Rhode Tsland for two weeks. It is a great adventure. It may be doubted, though, whether the vacationist is really enjoying it. He is probably restless and dissatisfied, and wishes he were back on the job. ' Every business day for '12 years he has opened the shop at 6 a. m. and closed it at 5:00 p. in. On Sundays he would drop in to see that everything was all right. He might have hail a vaca- tion every year, his employer says, but he never cared about taking on. He is 72 years old nw. U is hard to change one's habits at that age. The mun is still an employee, it will be observed. Very likely he would still be working for somebody else if he lived a hundred years longer. New ideas, ambition, the vigor and originality required to make a man start out for himself, sel dom come to the man who plods along day after day and year after year .in the same old routine, with never u bYeuk. The best thing about vacations is not the mere physical rest or exer cis they bring, but the way they shake up the mind and reveal to a man or woman different possibilities of life and achieve ment. . ' ' The man who wailed 42 years for vacation is all right, in his Way. lint suppose everybody lived that way. Am erica would soon be like China.
