FACTS VERSUS

Heat the bolshevistic tend
ency with facts. Facts are bet-
terests. class-prejudices, class
hatreds, is fatal.
We must believe in our gov
ernment, in the American idea,
and disbelieve in the idea that
we are under class-rulership.
If there are selfish classes
they must be absorbed in all
embracing policies of justice to
all citizenship.
Facts about industries pre
sented in this paper are worth
more than all the appeals to
class hatred.
One hundred facts about pay
rolls, improvements and pro
gress are more potent than mar
tial law.
Shoot bolshevistic tendencies
to shreds by handing out the
facts of production here at
home.
Our country is not going to
the dogs and the Keds won't
get us but it is going to take
constant and untiring effort by
America's brainy men and
women to counteract and de
stroy the present era of unrest
and discontent and finally bring
this nation to an even keel. We

SERVICE AND RATES.
In regulating tin' railroads
two facts should be kept upper
most : (1)1 hat I hey aie serv
ants of the public; ('..') that to
function efficient l and propor
tionate to the Uibhe needs they
must be well mail tamed and
economically operated.
Kates should not be increased
without good and m if fit lent rea
son. If existing tales yield a
reasonable net return on the in
vestment, with a niarrin suffic
ient to stabilize railroad credit
and safeguard iuxestors so as to
attract capital for betterments,
extensions, improvements and
rolling stock- there should be no
increase If they do nut ield 1
