RAILROAD PLANS ARE f. * / INGENIOUS When the United States Supreme court pawi iii»>n th«- SoiUhern Pacific land grant, the intent of the court was. evidently. to e»tabli»h the extent of the railroad's equity in there lands. No more and no lea«. In fact, if the court had been gov- ern«d by exact justice in the matter, it would have pronounced the rail road's title in the land« forfeited thus confirming Judge Wolverton'« decision. Rut the court held, regardless of the contomptoua disregard nf the letter of the contract, that the rail road should not lie completely penal ized and that a sum amounting to 12.60 per acre on the land« unsold justly belonged to the railroad company. Now the railroad people aay that if thev are permitted to first remove the timber then they will willingly sell the land for the price stipulated in the grant. No doubt about it Of course the railroad people are willing to do this They would in effect, annul the decision of the court and tw»|* any penalty what ever for having violated the contract both in letter and spirit. The railroad contention is that the timlier growing on the land and the land itself «hould be considered as separate entitle« and should be so treated Thev hold that the land when denuded of timber is the more valuable for settlement purposes and that they would confer a favor rath er than an injury by taking away the principal feature of value Of course if the timber shall be considered as a *• pa rate value to and not a part of the I ami. the title of the timher yet remains with the government, for the grant only covers the alternate section« *( the land and not the timber. Most of them granted land« ar«- chiefly valuable for the timber grow ing upon them. Without the timlwr no one would care for them and actual settlers would be scarce. The land without the timber is. practi cally valueless to the government, the railroad or the state. Rut the timber i« an asset of value. It would give the settler the wherewithal! to improve the land and build hi« home. THE SOCIAL SIDE The social end of country living needs stimulating. The man or woman who can do the stimulating is accomplishing a greater work than most of us realize. We all realize that relaxation is a good thing; but many of us fail to see the tremendous vital force* behind social gathering«. In every walk of life save one- and that is agrirultunrwe find orga nisation. The employers have their association«, their employee have their unions, phyuctana organise,, them moat and plan to present a united front against danger^ an<l evil«. They pull together for U h * common gooei How are th*«' things ponaulde? How can two doctors, for ¡natane*. who differ on religion anal politic», who disagree on many topics, original views of the ethics of their own profession vary widely, succeed in getting together? Why. by meet ing on a social basis first. Two men see each other for th«* first time, ami they are «uspacious of each other. Id them but meet day after day and talk with each other about the current topic» of the day. and their suspicion melt* «wav in nine cases out of ten J<>nrs finds that Smith isn't a l>ad chap after »11; Smith discovers that J IHM*» has some good idea« on some topics, even though th«-y do not agree on every subject. Men cannot get t.igvther and talk without imparting knowledge It is a game of give and take Nathaniel Hawthorne once «aid that he never talked to any man in hi« life without learning something. That is a universal truth The man who hoard» up his own knowledge deprive« his m-ighlMir of something, but he rob« himself of more. Suppose there are ten men in a certain community; each one of them knows how to do one thing better than any of th«* others. If all of them will meet and divide, each one is nine time« a» rich a« he was l<e- EMPLOYMENT BUREAU a - ' • ♦ > * ; 7 ‘«Zc ■ft • 4 .T *» - . t. «Aug Nyal Remedies For (Continu»! from page I) River to (irraonally supervise the distribution of workers.
