commission recently, the company Medford-Butte Recreation club filed a

mission made several recommendations
as to the course the company should
pursue to relieve the car shortage. In
Its reply the company takes up nine
recommendations separately and says
H has worked in the direction Indi

tion, briefly summarized. Is as follows:
It has left nothing undone to hsve
Its cars , returned home from foreign
lines.
lack Time Advice Taken.
The practice of moving material
stock durina- alack times when car
demands are less has been followed so
far as consistent with economy. I
Regarding recommendation for the
purchase of equipment, 2500 cars were
ordered and had the company had 100
per cent of its equipment the car short- ;
age would not have been so severe. '
The company remarks In this connec- '
tlon that with thousands of cars away .
from home It Is a serious question If i
additional capital should be Invested,
In new cars. j
As tho company recalled the Port
land hearing's testimony, it developed
there that the company had plenty of
-motive power, thus disposing of the
commission's recommendation that
more be secured.

TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL)
Somebody around Republican national
headquarters had a splendid "bunch"
as to where Hughes was threatened
with danger in the west.
There is a remarkable parallel be
tween the size of the campaign funds
sent to state committees In that sec
tion during the last month of the cam
paign and the way those states behaved
on November 7. The danger. It ap
pears, was seen and appreciated, but
the money failed to save.
These dispatches carried, at the
time the Republican national commit
tee reports of disbursements were
filed; the story of amounts sent Into
western states. It Is Interesting now
to recall where that money went.
Sums in excess of $10,000 up to
$60,000 went Into each state west of
tbs Mississippi ' river, as shown . by .
these reports, except Iowa,' Missouri,
Kansas and Oregon. ' Evidently it was
aaaumed that funds would be wasted
In Missouri, although the committee
was claiming It. Evidently, also. Iowa,
Kansas and Oregon were regarded as
safe for Hughes, 'and not in need of
much aid.
Judgment was misplaced as to Kan
sas alone. That state went to Wilson
with a whoop, surprising nearly all the
prophets. It Is significant that large
sums went into all the other western
states, the largest amounts to Colo
rado. Montana, Utah, Washington and
North Dakota.
, The Republican national committee
manifestly knew what it was about. It
was not prepared for such a Wilson
sweep as the election showed, but It
accurately picked the weak spots, with
the exception of Kansas.
Aside from the western states, In
diana and Massachusetts were the
states receiving the most liberal treat
ment from the national committee. The
sagacity .of the man behind the cash
was again ahown by the result In those
two states.
interstate body, and recommends a res
olution by congress declaring that the
policy of the government la to "per
mit such a system of rates as will
yield earnings sufficient to attract in
vestment for new construction."
The Merchant's association of New
York is sponsor for a plan for strike
prevention by bringing about a con
tract relation between the railroads
and their employee, under which quit
ting work In concert would become a
punishable violation of law. -v
These ideas and similar ones are to
be brought before the council of the
Chamber of Commerce, and be again
presented later on to the congressional
investigators.
ANTI-STRIKE LAWS TO
BE URGED ON CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE OF U. S.
Washington, Nov. 17. Anti-strike
legislation is to be urged at the meet
ing of the national council of the
United States Chamber of Commerce In
Washington, beginning November 17.
This meeting will serve as a prelude
to whet Interest in the Joint commit
mlttee of congress, which will open
hearings on questions of railroad con
trol and ownership three 'days later.
The Railway Business association is
advocating restriction of state control
over railroads, the creation of regional,
or "little Interstate commerce commis
sions," to take over some of the sub
ordinate power' now possessed by the
Montana's Banks Increase.
Washington, Nov. 17. New national
banks continue to spring forth In Mon
tana. Each week the comptroller of
the currency reports additions to the
number of national banks In that state,
almost equal to the number in all other
states combined.
For the week ending with November
11, six applications for national bank
charters were received, four of them
from Montana, The applications came
from .Geyser, Frazer, Oswego and
Whitehall. Mont.. New Wilson. Okla.,
and Fayetteville, Texas, each with cap
ital stock of $25,000.
Templeton May Lose Office.

the office will be discontinued.
Final action will be withheld to give
an opportunity for the citizens there to

San Francisco, Nov. 17. (I. N. S.)
The car shortage of the Southern Pa

despite the efforts of the company to
get back its cars now held on eastern
roads.
"There was a shortage of about S700
cars on the lines of the Pacific system

George W. Luce, freight traffic man
