Scott After the Business
On thi date, in 1880, street light
inn by electricity was first intro
duced in New York City.
Seventy-five years alio today the
first line of telegraph was completed
between the Mississippi river and the
Kast.
Greetings to Prince Gcoriro, fonrth
son of the Kin of England, who
cclebisates his twentieth birthday an
niversary today.
The Secretary of State and Mrs.
Hughes are to be host at a dinner
in Washington tins evening to me
delegates to the Central American
renublics conference.
Major General . Charles J. Bailey,
who commanded the 81st Division in
France, goes on the retired list of
tile U. S. army today on account of
having reached the age limit for ac
tiv service..
' Our did friend, John M. Scott, general passangcr agent .of the
the Southern Pacific, has come to the conclusion that railroads
have to take their local problems to the people through newspaper
advertising just as every other business has to do.
The automobile bus .competition lias been dealing his line of
railrnad some body blows of late and the big railroad company is
leeling the shrinkage in local fares along its lines.
' Mr. Scott has prepared a series of ads for local newspapers
on the Southern Pacific, one of which appeared yesterday. It
started off by saying, "You never ask if the' train .will run lodayi
for ypu have learned to depend oil it," and then lie puts lorin tne
advantage of steam line transportation over individual buses and
machines on highways.
: That is the sensible' niaimei' tii combat competition. Instead
of aifking for legislation which cannot be given, the railroads have
a good case in a business ''"way, for steam line transportation is
still 'very staple and very-dependable. "Mr. Scott has grasped an
idcaiwhich seems hard to soak into most railroad men, namely,
thntf conditions have changed since' father was a boy, and hence
forth railroads must go, into the world's market with their pro
duct' the same as other concerns. i
As ' to Glemenceau's Visit
Did Clemenceau make a dep impression on America? . This is
the question in everyblys mind. Another .interesting question
relates to the impression that America made on Clemenceau. What

The stale tax committee has recommended that farm proper
ty be assessed at 20 per cent less this year than fast. Yet wo have
a law that says assessment must be made at full value. Would it
not be better to have a central valuation agency in the state which
leeognizes the decrease in values of land, cattle, wheat, hay and
other farm produce mid let that central agency place valuations, in
conjunction with county assessors?

The paper dealers of the Pacific coast have been hauled on n
the carpet by the Federal trade commission and accused of having
, a trust. Quite true, none of them will deny that, for they cannot. J
Hut, while the paper dealers who sell print paper and wrapping pa-; J
per ttfthc consumer have a.trust, how about every other comniod- J
' ity on. the1 market today? j What constitutes a trust? Agreement '
by all to charge one piice for the same article, does it not? Poor J
old Sherman ! i le saw jthe way things were drifting when lie got J

!l LUMBER DEMAND
j REMAINS HEAVY
(Contlnuod rrom page one.)
i Washington is to dump 10,000 carloads of apples in the Co
lumbia river because there is no market for them, according to
press dispatches, and when the news reached the national capital
the people had spasms. In that city apples sell for ten cents per."
Naturally they cannot understand the act of apple growers to be
anything less than a crime. If they had to raise those apples, take
the losses and have the worry, they would change their opinions
and thoroughly agree with the grower whose product faces so
many middlemen that he gets nothing for his work.
If it is a fact that England has grown tired of France and
her attitude since the war, and is about to hook up w ith Germany
there seems to be abundant proof to Uncle Sam that if he gets
between the mill stones of Europe in offering his "friendly offices"
he will get squeezed. The friend of today in Europe is the enemy
of tomorrow. '.
