SrROULE President of the Southern Puclfic Company The railroads begin the new year with confidence as to their ability to meet the transportation needs of the country. Their operation by the government was for the purpose of mooting war necessities and not the normal demands of the country. The war conditions under which govern ment control wis exercised were adverse to efficiency and economy. Therefore when the railroads were returned to private control, as a nec essary result of these conditions land notwithstanding the individual.

I make it a rule that those from a distance shall be waited upon immediately and their work be completed first, so they can go back home as soon as possible. Years ago I discovered how to extract and fix teeth with out hurting, and was so successful that people called me "Painless" Parker. My practice has grown until I now have State & Commercial Sts., Salem twenty-eight offices, and all my associ ates in these offices have been taught how to practice painless dentistry as well as I can do it myself. We have fixed up the teeth of over a million people, and call our way of practicing "the E. R. Parker System."

S. Scullen, bee specialist of the agricultural college, who assisted them in putting their industry on a more stable basis. Mr. Scullen's services to beekeepers of Washington state, where he delivered a series of lectures on important pha ses of the industry, are highly com mended in reports submitted by the organizations. Meetings were ad dressed at Elma December 13-14, and at Olymphia December 15-17. in a.- condition. On th" no had was ; during a congestion of traffic incident not riod th only to the Tolume to be moved but; of the to the shifting of industry into j similar changed channels of production and thereby transportation as a result of peace activities superceding the work of the war. On the other hand were the curry over questions as to wages which the United States Railroad Administration had not been able to dispose of satisfactorily and which resulted in the switch men's strike and a marked uneasi ness elsewhere, accompanied by un certainty which always leads to in efficiency. The nation declared its policy to ward the railroads in a constructive way by the Transportation Act of 1920, and the railroads have en deavored to be responsive to the spirit of that policy. What have the railroads accomp lished in the ten months of private control and what have tehy to look to i the future? The labor problems have been in very large degree settled through the Railroad Labor Board provided under the Transportation Act. The ncreased wages resulting and other nereastr; costs of operation not previously reflected in higher rates have been met by increases in rates determined by the Interstate Com merce Commission as necessary to carry out the intent of the new Transportation Act. These rates were made effective in the latter part of August, except where cer tain States for one reason or an other have not cooperated with the Interstate Commerce Commisaioit with respect to the Increases af fecting the movement of commerce within their individual border. It it jit too early to say whether or no thtso new nit n will v the desired results in establishlnjr the fi nancial credit of tho ralrond an a whole to the extent that they may be able to attract the necessary money to care for the transporta tion needs' of this growing nation. Without hesitaton, however, the railroads have attacked the problems placed before them on March first last. Results are rem! in tho records of achievement. Tho unmoved loaded freight cars on Hecember first were one-fifth of those on. March first. The equipment has been not only re-located to meet the changing needs of the country emerging: from war into peace but it has been brought back a long towards its pre-war condition and effectiveness. bos example, on September ,'tOth on the lines of the Southern Pacific the locomotives in had order were only a little over cut of the number in had March last. The railroads fll tot Of! Mai these ten months have car largest traffic in the history count ryeompurod with any period of time. The aver age movement of freight cars since the lines have returned to private contol have increased .'!5 per cent and incidentally it may be remarked that the average movement of freight cars on the Southern Pacific per day is !() percent above the aver age in the United States.

In an lines or business activity we are facing the condition at the present time of having wage's and expenses at, their highest, while markets are dropping; and the demand for our pro ducts is less than the supply. I Home times think a large part of the trou ble at present lies in the fact that we have permitted the thought of the nation, which is common thought of all, to be directed by phrases that creep into the ear of the average man but often cover injurious things. .Sentiment is too often born of phra.se making. For instance, we have heard a great deal about "col lective bargaining." The phrase very often catches the people generally without full understanding of what it may mean either to those directly concerned or to the public at large. Another example is the set phrase, "capital and labor," which has crept into the relations of employer and employe. The working man knoWs he is not a capitalist and so public thought adows the impression that every man represents either capital or labor through the uso of this set phrase. It is true.
