Those newspapers and so-called re spectable people who make light of the prohibition law, sometimes going further and actually condemning it. are not guiltless of these murders. It fs gratifying to know that the officers in the prohibition enforce ment unit announce that there is a noticeable increase in sentiment fav orable to strict enforcement of the law. People are beginning to under stand that the issue is no longer one of prohibition but of law enforce ment. American Issue. S-5-S THE RAILROADS PROMOTERS OP PROSPERITY. TJOW many of us in thinking of a I railroad attain a c ear conception of its wonderful utility as a first aid to business? Do we not all too fre quently accept it as a matter of fact a mere carrier of persons and prop erty? The truth is that there is single factor of greater potency the maintenance of our business structure than an efficient railway system. The general prosperity of the last two years has been immeasurably heightened by the efficient handling of freight, lately more than a mil lion cars a week: this quick trans pnrtation making possible a fast turnover of commodities, more sales. and consequently more money in cir culation. It has contributed to liquid credit, thus making it easier to do business, and has resulted in better connections by reason of quick deliv eries. The Continental and Commercial Bank of Chicago, in its bulletin of Tve never hen the bosom friend of to rfal agitation. ... I shy at propagandy which the raupstrr eeta afloat. . . .

Corrigall at LEGAL NOTICES November 10, says: "Fears of Fall freight congestion that were voiced in the bpnng have proved entirely un founded. Moreover, the efficient han dling of freight has helped to keep credit liquid by making turnover rap id. Bank credit has not been tied up or froxen thru traffic congestion. The railroads have not been and will not be a drag on business. If they are not hampered by radical legislation, they will help business both by mov ing goods efficiently and by continu ing to place equipmnet orders." These facta, in no uncertain terms, speak for themselves. "Credit to whom credit is due." Trade and Transportation Bulletin. s-s-s Slat's Diary By ROSS FARQUHAR.

At a dinner recently given by Otto H. Kahn. international banker, at which Judga Eltert H. fiary. head of the billion-dollar United States Steel Corpora tion was a guet, he was asked why the California growers were run ning away with the Kawtern markets. Turning to Judge Gary. Sapiro said: "Kasiern fanners market their 'product a Individual, They ar not organljw-d. Western farmers used to dump their output wherever It was grown. Thus they created a glutted local market from which peculators could buy at their own price. That's bad business. Now, the California farmers, by pooling their products, and having a cen tral business organization of experts to sell them, have adopted th same methods as the great steel industry. STUMBLING BLOCKS, WE FEEBLE, unsophisticated Chris-; tiftns are falling over stumblinc blocks that should be removed. The first is the stone of inactivity. t inertia. There are more dead peopie sitting in pews unburied than at any 1 period in the last hundred years. Oh, for a good live undertaker to gather up the corpses in the pews of the churches and bury them get them out of the wey. Poor, strug-' gling Christians are falling over the inactive, the dead. The stone of insincerity, or per functoriness, should be removed; people who speak in the mechanical, perfunctory, insincere manner. The very choice is mechanical, the whole effort disgusting. We want people who are on fire, who believe and are sincere, who would die for their be lief. The stone of selfishness. Men who care for themselves, self-centered, self-interested, self-opinionated, curs ed with selfishness, make a great big stone in the way of struggling Chris tians. The stone of worldliness. Two men who claim to be Christians sit down at the lunch-counter and shake dice with two unsaved men. They gamble for their lunch, they gamble for ci gars, they are inconsistent, cursed with worldliness. The poor, strug gling Christian wants to know why he has to fall over such in order to make progress. The stone of unbelief. There is toe much doubt, too much question ing, too much hesitating. The world needs positive Christians, powerful men and women, not only to teach the gospel to the world, but to clear the road for struggling Christians who are wending their way toward the eternal city of happiness and reward. Remove such stones at once. Thoroughbred Bronte Turkeys Toms, $10; hens $4. Mrs. Cora Bur roughs, lone, Oregon. Jason Biddle, lone garage man, was . visitor in this ctiy yesterday.

FRYE Everything Electrical Phone 472 Railroad Rates and Transportation Costs Railroad Supplies Up 1007o Freight Rates - 32 3-10 Passenger Fares 35 3-10 Freight rates and passenger fares on the Union Pacific System have advanced less than half as much as the in crease in the cost of engines, cars and other principal items of railroad expense. Comparing pre-war prices with those of today we find: Percent of Commodity Pre-War Price Present Price Increase Rail, per ton $ 30.00 f 43.00 43 Freight Locomotive 26,000.00 64,000.00 146 Freight Car 1,100.00 2,600.00 127 Ties, each .35 .84 140 Steel (bridges, tanks, etc.) per ton 60.00 96.00 92 Steel Passenger Coach . 12,000.00 25,000.00 108 Cotton Waste, per lb .06 .096 90 Block Signals, per mils 1,200.00 2,500.00 108 Switch Lamps, each 4.04 8.40 108 Fuel, per ton 2.11 3.38 60 Average annual earnings (1912) (1922) per employe 884.01 1,808.47 104.6 Taxes 4,668,875.00 13,251,662.00 280 In the face of these increases, freight rates on the Union Pacific System during the same time have increased only 12 1-10 percent snd passenger fares 35 1-10 percent. In 1913 we received for hauling a ton of freight one mile, 9.7 mills; for hauling a passenger one mile, 2y4c. In 1923 these rates were 1.285 and 3.035 respectively. The 1923 freight rate represents a reduction of about 1 1 percent under 1921 and passenger fares about 8 per cent under 1921. In order to earn enough gross revenue to purchase a pint of ink, it is necessary for us to haul one ton of freight 42 miles; for a cross tie, 65 miles, a hand lantern, 91 miles; one freight car wheel, 1117 miles; and one monkey wrench 97 miles. To pay for a day of track labor it is necessary to haul one ton of freight 236 miles. For a day's wages of a freight train crew 2680 miles. For a day's wages of a machinist 461 miles. For a ton of fuel 263 miles. The railroads of the United States maintain the lowest rates and the lowest capitalization per mile, while paying the highest wages of any country in the world. So long as the railroads' cost of doing business remains at the present high level a general reduction of freight and passenger rates cannot safely be made. Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C, R. GRAY, Omaha, Nebraka, President. January 1, 1924. UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM NOTICE OP STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.
