RAILROADS CON
FIDENT FUTURE
-!t'u'
WM. 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

to have their teeth

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"

SYSTPy
BEEKEEPERS ORGANIZE
Beekeepers of Deschutes county
have organized a county association
at Redmond, reports H. 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.

a congestion of traffic incident not riod th

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

be able to attract the necessary
money to care for the transporta

Without hesitaton, however, the
railroads have attacked the problems
placed before them on March first

been not only re-located to meet

it has been brought back a long

realize that such downward course

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. Yet the mis
leading phrase, "capital and labor," 1
has been allowed to get into the ver-
