IRVING FISHER SETS FORTH TEN
REASONS FOR WILSON VICTORY
1IY HIVING FISHER,
(Professor of Political Sconomy, Yale
University.)
In politics I am an Independent, one
of that body of voters, not large at
present but Increasing In numbers, I
believe, who distrust so culled "party
loyalty." that Is rubber-stamped vot
ing, and believe, instead, In voting for
one party or another according to
one's convictions as to the best Inter
ests of the country at the time. It Is
through the existence of an independ
ent vo(e that the public opinion can
exert IU chief Influence
I was present at three conventions
in Chicago and St. louls, attended
mine meetings of their platform com
mittees, was present at Mr. Hughes'
ceremony of acceptance and have read
carefully the important documents
'.ml speeches of the campaign tftsr
careful Consideration, I have joined
the Wilson Independent league. I
thoroughly believe that the best In
terests of the country requires Mr.
Wilson's re-election.
1 expect independent voters in gen
eral to vote for Wilson. 1 may add
(for (he superstitious ) that all the
presidential candidates for whom 1
have hitherto voted, heglnnlng in
1888. have heen elected.
My chief reasons for voting for
President Wilson are the following:
Raising a Dust.

Unprecedented freight business II

It. A N. L'o and is creating a sen.
i car shortage, according to H. C
Oliver, traveling freight and passen
ger agent who is here today.
As an evidence of the volume ot
business being done by the company,
Mr. Oliver slates that five new road
engines have been placed on the Pen-
dleton-Huntlngtefl division in the
past two weeks and a new switch en
gine has been added to the equipment
at Hlsth- This makes two day en
gines and two night engines in sen

Mr, Oliver declares (hat the car
Shortage), Which is the greatest ever
known In the country. Is already be
ginning to he felt In eastern Oregon,
and he expects the situation to be
come worse before long. Theretore
he Is advising funnel's and grain buy
ers In prepare for storing their grain
until equipment oaa be .secured for
moving it.
The fact that all grain is beinl
shipped across the continent by rail
Instead of going by water la one fac
tor making for the shortage, he says,
while the revival of the lumber bus
iness Is another factor. There are
heavy shipments of horses, too. and
by the first of the month the ship
ment of sheep will begin. Already
there Is a shortage of stock cars.
"We receive no cars out west ex
cept what are brought here loaded, '
he said this morning, "No empties
are brought out here. It takes on the
average 90 days for a freight car to
go to Chicago and back, so you can
understand how long it takes to go
to the Atlantic seaboard and return,
In past years when grain Was ship
ped to the Pacific coast the distances
were so short that one car could bs
used 18 times to where It is used
once now Another thing that works
for a shortage is thai ;he most of the i
grain going east is shipped in bulk, j
thus requiring No. , boxcars. Inj
past years sacki d w heat has been
shipped In stock and coal cars to re-'
llSVe the shortage."
Mr. Oliver urges that shippers and
in sign see cooperate with the roads
In every possible way to relieve the
ttuatlon. "We flmpll have not the
cars to fill the present, extraordinary

The railroad managers nromi-ed to keep sufficient trains running to pre
vent a milk and fixid famine. Kmnloyes admitted a few men might continue
working. Thej saasstad Moat railroads would be absolutely helpless.
The trainmen blamed the railroad heads for the situation. They declared
the big executives would be rofionslMc for all starvation and ruin as a result
of the strike, Railroad managers are all read). They have prepared emer
gency schedules and intend to embargo war munitions, dry goods and all
non-pori-hablo shipments. They will carry only food.
One railroad executive declared ail the Ilrotherhood members were not
intending to walk out. He said: "We are fighting the leader. I know my
men are loyal. They like me. but we must proiiare against anything."
One great railroad system wrote thousands of letters to be mailed to em
ployes an hour after the strike starts. They give the railroad's side and asic
