Harrinian, the greatest constructive intellect that ever turned his attenion to transpor tation, took over the western railroads, he fought to accomplish their highest possible efficiency as carriers. He reduced grades, cut out curves, enlarged sid ings, shortened time for coaling and watering, en larged rolling stock, speeded up trains and sought enlarged volumes of traffic. Twenty-five years ago the western railroads had 60-pound rails. Today most of them have 90 pound rails. Then the freight cars carried 20,000 to 30,000 pounds freight. Todav. freight cars carry 50.000 to 100,000 pounds freight. Harriman found them single-track railroads. Today they are double-track on all divisions re quiring it. Roosevelt fought to break up the big railroad mergers and said he would send Harriman to Sing Sing. Legislation follow ing his fight stopped the rail road clock and for fifteen years our country has spent millions annually, not on needed new rail roads but on valuations, accounting, legislation and regulation. Every cent a railroad takes in or expends must be reported in duplicate or triplicate to state and federal commissions, costing millions annually but producing not one cent of new business. In fact this entire useless, predatory interfer ence has to be paid for out of the pockets of the people in high freights and fares and. on top of this, the army of officials and their families ride on free passes. It takes six different classes of unionized labor to repair a locomotive headlight. In the old days the engineer did it. Thanks to Mr. McAdoo, it is all added to the freight. The great scarcity of unskilled labor prevents railroad expansion and common labor is costing some of the eastern railroads from $4 to $7 a day. The farmers cannot afford to pay such wages and millions of acres of corn are going unhusked. The three per cent immigration limitation is making European countries hate our country, blocking our development and raising the cost of necessities of life. There will be no new railroad building to speak of for years to come under the rule of limitation of earnings. There may be consolidation of lines by the Interstate Commerce Commission largely controlled by officials who never spent a day of their lives in railroading. In the days before the uplift reform wave any man or group of men could project a new railroad, make a survey, get a franchise and go ahead on a long chance of making a big stake. Most of them lost their time and money but they loved the ex citement of the game as true Americans following the impulse of enterprise and initiative. That is all done away with, state and federal commissions, blue sky laws, rates that throttle otherwise productive corporations by placing re strictions on the earnings, regulations and red tape tie the hands of individuals who otherwise might have the pep and backbone to undertake large new enterprises. The American railway system has become water logged from over-legislation and over-regulation and may never recover its old-time healthy rate of rapid growth and expansion. Millions of money are now spent annually on thousands of state and federal officials to super vise and overhaul the properties and activities of American railroads. Will this army never stop until we have the highest finished product of Eu ropean paternalism? Our country will travel in this direction or it will go back to just plain common-sense American ideas of railroading. The Manufacturer. . Lie Cecil News Items.

Master Noel Streeter of Cecil was The announcement of Mr. Barratt that there is still a chance that money will be forthcoming for the completion of the Jones Hill unit of the Oregon-Washington highway, is encouraging, and it is to be hoped that the commission may be induced to see how important it is that this uncompleted job be finished. It is well to remember, however, as Mr. Barratt suggests, that there are many other portions of state highways over Oregon that are in condition identical with this, and if the money is lacking, and the commission see fit to finish some other road that they consider of greater im portance, we shall have to be content. However, Heppner people 'ill regret to see Mr. Barratt re tire from the commission and will always remem ber that he did all he could for his own part of the state, conscientiously, and that much we have re ceived would not have come our way but through his efforts. Do your Christmas shopping early; get those packages into the postoffice before the big rush is on; patronize the Heppner merchants, and thus be prepared to enjoy a real Christmas with a clear conscience.
