Rail Chief in San Francisco.
San . Francisco, , April 25. Director
General of Railroads Walter D. Hlnes,
who is -.In San Francisco to discuss ra
road rates with shippers, Thursday In
an address before' the Commonwealth
club, defended the government control
of railroads and said that -the govern
ment is not responsible for the present
tangle of railroads. i
Had the railroads been operated under
private ownership the, cost of operation
would have' mounted Just ; as : high, ac

While defending the federal govern
ment control of railroads, the director
general indicated that they are to be
turned back to private ownership. He
favors private operation, but believes
mai control win rest in ine nanas ox
the federal government. "In his address
he said:

which will fall far short of giving. the

and the sort of railroads which are
needed in order to carry on tne ousmess
of the country.
IXITIATITE SEEDED
'T h a nrnMnt one or two ideas
of my own which I thought might be
useful to you, y way o cmnpunHni

try, for all time to come, to, adopt some
plan of , permanent -solution;? whlcb. will
preserved the initiative of! private rail
road management, and I want to see
that accomplished- . - -
"I take as my starting point that a
plan of complete government control
as a permanent thing is not a plan that
will meet the expectations and the needs
of the country at this time, and that,
therefore, we ought to find a way which
'will preserve in the situation the initia
tive of private management -
"The thing that is needed, in jny opin
ion.' is a plan or regulation which win
result in the bringing into railroad busi
of . an adeauata amount of new
capital to make the development which
the country needs. In my opinion that
need is very great. ' --
There Is an enormous amount or rail
road improvement that ought to Da car
ried out. in order that the railroads of
the country ,can carry the traffic which
they will have to carry as a result of
the development which I believe is bound
.to come. - - - ' - .v.
'That capital cannot, be Induced , to
invest- In the railroads under private
management unless the regulation is of
such a character as to give it assurance
of a reasonable, and a reasonably cer
tain, return. . ',
"Right there I want to emphasise again
the great mistake that is being made
- anv murtert of introducing the
notion! that the low costs when they get
turn. " That cannot be accomplished.
HIGH COST TO BEMAIW
This war has made changes In rail
road regulation which will last beyond
our' lives. We are In a new world as
to costs-and as to methods of doing
business and no mere superficial changes

they. should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of
years. It is sold by all druggists on its

QUICKLY RAISES ITS
STOCK SHOW QUOTA
Forty Citizens Come to Front to
Help - Out Livestock Stock V
Exposition Building.
Although Hood River has practically
no livestock interests at all, on account
of its great and all-absorbing . apple
growing Industry, yet upward. of 40 citl
sens of that section have shown' keen
interest In the Pacific International
Livestock exposition's big project for a
permanent stock show center for the
whole Northwest at Portland, and have
subscribed for stock in the Important
development project.
Leslie Butler of the Butler Banking
company of Hood River, who ' voluntar
ily underwrote Hood River county's
quota of $1000 at the opening of the
campaign, called at the office of - Gen
eral Manager O. M. Plummer Thursday
morning and reported that, the entire
amount had been subscribed by 40 citi
zens, each of whom took 2& worth of
stock, and that there was an oversub
scription of $50, with assurances that
more stock would cheerfully: be taken
If this is needed for the financing of
the iroject. .
There was no difficulty at all in
raising this quota," said Mt. Butler.
"All our citizens recognize the fact that
what helps one Industry inevitably helps
the comn,u..ity as a whole, and that the
livestock industry Is one of the greatest
and most important to be developed in
Oregon and the whole Northwest. They
were all glad to cooperate, and even
after, we had closed up our little cam
paign ws had applications-for stock
from men who had never been solicited
but wanted to help along the cause. One
man f rem Parkdale insisted on taking
a share of -tock and said his community
really felt slighted, because it had not
oeen rr .iea to coninoute. iz mere
should be a shortage in subscriptions
irom otner parts or the state, Hood
River can be relied upon to help out
further. We want that permanent ex
position -snter plan to go through, for
the good or Oregon and the whole
Northwest," ,
Mr. Plummer was at Bend, attend
ing the meeting of Eastern ' Oregon cat
tle and stock men there. The big stock
selling drive will be continued as soon
as the Victory, loan campaign Is over.

The divorce proceedings between Ralph
Milln and Mrs. May MUln. Interrupted
a week ago through the illness of one of
the attorneys, were resumed, Thursday
before Presiding Judge Stapletonv Rela
tives and Interested friends on both
sides filled the courtroom. : -.

Mrs. Milln was a fit person -to have
the custody of her 10-months-old child

of Gresham took the stand in behalf of
the mother. - -
"I would have no hesitation whatso
ever in, giving this child to its. mother,"
declared Mr. Dawson.
That Mr. ..Milln had beaten his wife
until her neck and face, were covered
with black and blue marks was the tes
timony of Mrs. A. Bradshaw. . The wit
ness alleged that she had remonstrated
with the . husband many times . to no
avail. - -' '
A number of other witnesses were
called, all of whom affirmed that Mrs.
Milln was V good wife and mother and

END OF ALL HIGH
HOPES PREDICTED
. (Continue; From Fan One)
Italian people were supporting them.
Finally an automobile forced its way
through .the crowd and a white haired
ma nof serene face descended and en
tered the - corridor moving: toward the
hall. The people crowded " about him.
Breathlessly the question came from
every lip, "has any settlement been re
ceived?" Premier Orlando halted and
spoke rapidly, "Not if they had granted
ail we asked, could We have accepted to
day," he said, 'It has become a Question
of principle."
There was a note of deep felt injury
and offended pride in his voice. A
cheer broke from the crowd. It was
noticeable that the conservative jour
nalists cheered together. A woman
pressed into Orlando's hand a bunch of
flowers from the Italian women of Dal
matla, and he walked into the hall with
the flowers in his hands, where he stood
among his fellow Italians.

The Italians are equally grieved. They
are equally; sure they are right and in
addition they : are deeply wounded in
their r personal pride by President Wil
son's appeal to the people over the bead
of the government.
Persons ; around American headquar
ters who insisted all; daythat Italy was
still bluffing now. emphasize the state
ment that this is no actual break and
that Orlando merely is going tot Italy to
consult the. parliament, but the Italians
say. they ..have, actuallyjwithdrawn from
the conference, although they make
clear that they will adhere to the al
liance. '.-'- '
This raises the question whether peace
with Germany 'can be signed by England
and "France- without Italy signing, too,

for Italy, on entering the war, made a
pact with' France and England that none
should sign a separate peace. -ALLIES'

Minister Lloyd George are assuming.

Wilson's appeal and are said to have
approved lit.; r--?-t ;'?-.;'
i They .expected, however, that it. would
not.be issued until Thursday morning.
There is evidently some grace misunder
standing here. It is further said that
the British foreign secretary, Mr. Bal
four, has prepared a statement support'
ing President Wilson, but.lt will not be
issued for - the present. ,v
The European newspapers .generally,
and consequently the European public,
still consider the break has been purely
between Italy and the United States.
The atmosphere would be cleared
somewhat If Premiers Clemenceau' and
Uoyd George would - announce publicly
where they stand.
