Increased Facilities Demanded to
1 Handle Increased Business Plea
for Federal Control and Abolition
of State Reyulation Made by Coun
sel for Railroads. "
' AVASH1NGTOX, Nov. 24. Rail
roads will need l,2'fl,000,OUfl addi
tional eupilnl nnmmlly' for the next
y ten or twelve years to increase their
facilities to handle the country's
.. growing commerce, Alfred 1'. Thorn,
counsel ior the railway executive'
advisory committee, told tho con-
ftrcsHionul investigating committee
'f.Mny, continuing his statement on
bchn.ll' ol the railroads begun yesterday.-
About $2.10,000,000 a year ad
ditional will hi: required, he said, to
v refund maturing indebtedness.
To attract investors, Mr. Thorn
' suggested federal regulation should
replace the present system of nu-
thonly divided between tho states
' and the eentrnl government. :
V ' Need of Increases. -:
Referring to the need of additional
- railroad facilities, .Mr., Thorn said:
""It has been found that the wealth
of -the country has been increasing at
. . tho'rutc of eight or nine )ci- cent per
. year and the same ratio of increase
bus held good as to the demand for
transportation. As the forces which
, have affected tho growth and devel
opment of the past apparently will
continue in full operation and may
si reasonably be expected to continue
"for tho next ten or fifteen years at
,lei
least, the investment in railroad fa
milies to meet the large renuire-
icnls of the future must consequent
ly grow at a corresponding annual
1'itte of increase."
:. '.;thc estimate or 41 ,2.50,000,000 for
additional transportation facilities
includes nothing lor extensions into
new territory, ho added.
How to (fet Mnne)'?
: ,,rWhcrc is this money or any sum
Approximating il to come from?"
asked Mr. Thoni. "This problem is
one of vital interest to the public
because on its successful solution de
pends the commercial facilities of the
country. Would it do to confront the
investor, when asking for this great
investment, with a situation where
revenues of the railroads are not sub
ject to the control of the investors,
but are fixed and limited not only by
governmental authority, but by many
Tin-coordinated state authorities in
no way responsible to each oilier, and
where the railroads cannot control
nnd the government cannot and docs
not limit the expense account?''

EAGLE POINT EAGLETS
By A. C. Howlett
Lust Saturday evening at 10
o'clock, when I finished writing my
last article for the Mail Tribune, I
stated that we had had n meeting at
Hrown's hall for the purpose of hear
ing discussed I wo propositions. The
first one was the subject of "Co-operation,"
by C. C. Catfl, the county
pathologist, and the oilier, "National
Farm Loan Associations." !y u lit
tle past the hour designated 2 :30 p.
hi., the two speakers arrived and a
few of the citizens of our town were
(hero to greet them, with perhaps a
half dozen of the country people, and
the prospect was not as encouraging
to those who were directly interested
as desirable, but in a few minutes the
fanners began lo arrive, and the
meeting was called to order by J. H.
Cooley, who owns a fine fann and
orchard near here, and C. C. Cute
was introduced as the first speaker
to address us on the subject of co
operation among farmers. He cited
many instances where the farmers
were legally held im and robbed by
those who, by being in i position to
take advantage of the farmer when
he would have farm produce to sell,
and be forced to dispose of it nt the
beginning of the season, before the
market bad fairly opened, illustrating
the advantage 'of having the fanners
combine, and by. a united effort force
tlie'consimier or manufacturer to pav
tho market value, instead of having
the middle man come in and take ad
vantage 'of lhc condition and force
the product on the market nt a re
duced price. He pointed out several
ways whereby Hie farmer by eo-oper-nlion
uould save sacrifices and avoid
being placed in a position where he
would have to work single-handed. I
well remember an incident that oc
curred here several years' ago when
n lariner gave a chattel mortgage to
a mill firm on his growing crop, and
by Ins energy and push he put in
sixty acres of wheat and in May
there came n hail storm nnd ruined
the most of his wheal, so that he did
not have more than enough for his
seed and bread, bat he had to clean
out his granary, put all his wheat in
the mill at ftO cents n bushel and
then rustle more wheat to sow his
corn ground nt 60 nnd pari of it at
7.1 cents a bushel. Well, his plan, by
co-operation among the farmers,
would enable an individual farmer to
avoid just such positions in the busi
ness world. He gave several good
suggestions ns to how they, the farm
ers, could arrange to help each other
in that line, either by forming a
Fanners' 'union or the Grange, or by
say ten or twelve going in together
and agreeing on a plan of their own,
but recommended taking some steps
to slay the tide that had engulfed so
many of the small fanners here in an
early day, say twenty to thirty years
ago.
At 2:4.1 p. in. the chairman intro
duced K. II. Ilurd ns the speaker on
the subject of "National Farm Loan
Associations," nnd he in a clear,
pointed way gave an outline of the
object of lhc law passed by congress
dunng lis hist session, known ns the
farm loan bill. If it had been deliv
ered before the election we would
have thought that the speaker was
trying to induce the hyphenated
Americans of German descent to vote
for Wilson, for he showed that the
idea of lhc law originated in Germany
in 1840, and bad been in successful
operation ever since, and that it was
by that system that the Germans had
succeeded so well in their financing
the war and illustrated his idea by
telling of an incident that occurred in
the early history of the country. A
merchant kept a store in a little old
log cabin and among other things
sold whisky, and in those days coon
skins w-ere legal tender (now he was
celling back to my early childhood
days). A young man came in with
a coon skin mid traded it for a drink
of whisky; the merchant took it,
threw it buck of the counter, mid
while be was bu-y the young man
stole it mid bought another drink,
and kept that up until he was too
drunk to steal the skin any more, and
he used that illustration to show how
t lie law works in Germany, and by
that means the German people could
take up the bonds for the government
and the money would be paid back
to the farmers and in turn lend it to
the government again, thus keeping
up the endless chain, and told ns that
by the taking advantage of the law
we could keep the money in a con
stant circle, helping each oilier and
thus help ourselves. There were sev
eral points that he touched upon, but
did not have time to make as cical
as was desirable. When he con
cluded he called on those who wished
to take advantage of the law and go
into an association to come forward
and sign applications he had already
prepared. There was iuile u num
ber came forward and signed up for
$.100 -to $(10(10 each. They then
elected L. K. Hank as temporary
chairman and Mr. Hard acted as sec
retary. It was announced that they
would meet' again on Saturday, the
2,1th, and effect a permanent organ
ization. There will be nn effort made
to organize an association in the
Lake Creek district on the same day,
but some, of those living up there
think that il would be heller to have
all in that and the surrounding coun
try, up Rogue river,- Antelope, Rig
Butte, nnd the .-intervening country
go into the association, and thus have
n strong central association that
would accommodate say all the coun
try east of Hear creek and north of
an .east and west lirtc running cast
from Central Point and south and
cast of Rogue river. " I have talked
with several of the citizens in those
sections on the subject and they seem
to think that would be II Very judici
ous movo.
There were two men came in here
Inst Saturday, the 18th, and again on
the following Monday and bought a
lot ol sows and pigs, but desired (hat
I would not give their names, for
business reasons.
R. A. Mohnev of Portland, who
is representing the Kquitablc Savings
& Loan association, came in the first
of the week and spent two dayi
among us. He said that ho was do
ing a thriving business here. He
seems to have his plans arranged so
as to visit, us once a month.
Frank Abbot and Fred Heath were
among the callers last Monday. Mr.
Abbot is the foreman on the W. Hart
Hamilton fann and orchard nnd Mr
Heath was out settling up lite biisi
ness of the late finu ol! Fred L.
Heath.
Word came lo me (he first of the
week that Chris Wooley, one of our
farmers, itgcd about 75 or 80 years,
was found on the road under his
wagon with his collarbone broken
and otherwise injured. It seemed
that he had started after a load of
wood and he said that the first thing
he knew he found himself laying un
der Hie wagon holding onlo the
horses. He was taken to his home
and Dr. lloll was summoned and ad
ministered lhc necessary relief.
