PAOE SIXTEEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY. DECEMBER 5, 1929 PROTECTION FOR PLAN TO GROUP ROADS SOUGHT Washington W) Consideration by congress of new legislation to prevent possible defeat by holding corporations of the government s plan for "orderly" consolidation of railroads was recommended Thurs day by the Interstate Commerce commission In 1U annual report. Congress also was Informed that the commission Is proceeding with Its general plan for consolidation of all carriers into major trunk line systems and hopes to have this ready shortly. It seems clear," the commission said, "that the acquisition of con trol of an amount of stock suffici ent to influence the policies of competing railroads, either by In dividuals or by noncarrler corpora tions, may result In the suppres sion of competition In a manner no less harmful than If such control be exercised directly by one carrier over another." Purchase by one road of a com peting line Is prohibited by the . Clayton act, and under this statute the commission several times has ordered roads to divest themselves of stock acquired In others. The report points out, however, that a further means of unifying carriers through common control or affilia tion has been developed and cites the Alleghany corporation and the Pennroad corporation as examples. The Alleghany group was held to be controlled, through a combina tion of direct and Indirect means, by the Van Sweringen Interests which control through similar i means the New York, Chicago &, St. Louis, the Erie, the Pere Mar quette, and the Chesapeake and Ohio. The Pennroad corporation, the commission cited, also holds va rlous stocks of railroad corpora tions, and Is not controlled by any railroad company as such, but its stock Is held by a voting trust agreement, continuing until May 1939, and the voting trustees are the president and two other direct ors of the Pennsylvania railroad. "If these fact are correct," the commission said, "the Alleghany corporation can, by acquiring controlling interest in the stock of a railroad company, bring it under common control with the railroad companies above mentioned which are controlled by the same inter ests as ocntrol the Alleghany cor poratlon, but without Itself holding control of or being controlled by any one of these railroad compan ies as such. "In a similar manner the Penn road company, by acquiring stock control of a railroad company, can bring it under common control with the Pennsylvania railroad Without itself controlling or being controlled by the latter carrier as uch. In other words, common control can be effected In both in stances by a chain." End Of District Road Patrol System Seen In Centralized Plan With reports that at least three road districts will shortly send in petitions asking discontinuance of their road patrol men and transfer of the district to county supervision of the roads, and indications that around 10 road district will pass out of ex- SERIES IS ENDED Aurora Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ellers, Mrs. George Ehlen and Mrs. James Ogle attended the card party given at Barlow under the auspices of the grange.

Let us advise you hi tiie care of your eyes. . mmm istence the first of the year when road patrolmen are appointed, It 1 predicted that within four or five years the road patrol system In Marlon county will be virtually a thing of the past. The three districts which are talk ing of sending in petitions asking lor aoandonmem 01 tneir aisincts and transfer to county supervision arc Pringle, Just south of town, a district near Sidney and another near Turner. Residents of all of these districts have been before the county court and asked what pro cedure should be adopted In taking a tep to do away with the patrol man's job. In all case; they said the district roads had become so few in the district with development of the main market roads that a patrolman wasn't needed . any lon ger. In fact that la the main reason why road district are disappearing in the county. Six were abandonee last year and turned over to the county to handle. All told there are left around 70 road patrolmen In the county and it Is confidently expected when ap pointments are made early in the coming year around 60 will be left. As fast as a market road Is con structed the maintenance Is taken over by the county. In many cases what are now market roads a few years ago were the main roads pass ing through district and maintain ed in chunks by various patrolmen. But another reason Is developing for abandonment of the road dis tricts. That is the rapid improve ment made in roads machinery. much of which is too expensive for j any one district to maintain but i that can be handled by the county at big savings of costs. Big caterpil- i lar tractors and road graders can t do more work in a day than pa- I trolman can do in a week and the county oftentimes sends these" Into districts still handled by patrolmen to help out with the work. When ever a district discontinues the pa trol system the county takes care of side roads as well as the market roads but the cost to district roads is still assessed against the district and often the district passes a spe cial tax the same as In the past. In these instances the coiin :y applies ! such monev directlv to district i maintenance and Improvement but US the work Is done under the suiwr vision of county road masters. The market road program is ex pected to extend so far in five or 10 years that there wilt be so little district work left to be done that probably all districts will be aban doned as far as patrolmen are con cerned, but will go ahead and levy district taxes as In the past. Road mnhln?ry will do the work under FORMER LOCAL GIRL DIES IN PORTLAND Friends of Fern Chandler, 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Chandler, were saddened to learn of her death which occurred Thanksgiving day, in Portland, where the family has been living for the past year.

It Is stated, will also do away with some of the gaps in roads where in one district the work is well done and In another not so well done. CONDITIONS IN DALLAS BEST IN YEARS IS CLAIM "Dallas hasn't been In better con dition for many years," was the statement of Jack Eakin, Dallas attorney who dropped into Salem Wednesday afternoon on business. "The prune crop was a bumper, the prices were good, the growers have all virtually cleaned up and the prunes have moved out in wonder ful shape so growers, packers, and now the merchants nave all bene fitted by the big harvest this year. "I understand Clare Tracy has got his stuff pretty well moved out as have the cooperative and the California Packing corporation, all of whom handled big quantities of prunes from the Dallas district this year.
