BURLINGTON OP POSES DIVORCE ' OF RAILROADS PLAN OF THE INTERSTATE COM MERCE COMMISSION NOT PLEASING TO HEADS. OFFICERS HEARD OK MATTER Hale Holden. Says Forced Separation from Great Northern Would Weaken Strong System. From Patii'. lay's rally. Washington, Nov. IT. Tentative proposals of the interstate commerce commission for consolidation of rail roads in the northwest were under critical light at a hearing today, where officials for thre roads, con stituting the "Hill group." the Northern Pacific. Great Northern and Chicago. Hurlington & Quincy. be gan the offering of testimony. Gen eral consolidation of railroads, as authorized by the transportation act, 1-j been planned by the commission to bring about a separation of the Great Northern from the other two lines named, and its inclusion in stead in a major railroad system along with the Chicago. Milwaukee it St. Paul and the iron ore carrying lines entering Duluth in northern Minnesota. Walker I). Hines. leading off tor the "Hill group." most of whose chief executives were present to par ticipate, challenged the desirability of the suggested split in present railroad associations, both from the point of view of public welfare and of financial stability of the roads themselves. Separation Not Desired The P.urlington. owned by the two northern roads for many years, had been built and Integrated into co operation with them. he asserted, adding that separation would be ex tremely undesirable. Hale Holden. president of the Burlington, followed and in a detail ed analysis of traffic and route con ditions declared the commission's proposals unsuitable and built up in disregard of the necessity for maintaining a north and south route thru the west from the Gulf of Mex ico. The intimacy of Burlington as sociation with the northern lines was emphasized by description of the existing arrangements for joint use of the track?, terminals and yards and exchanges of traffic. Commis sioner Hall, presiding, prefaced the hearing by declaring that the com mission plan constituted no pre judgment of the situation, but in stead, an estimate of the situation to be judged. "The Burlington, Northern Pacific and Great Northern," Mr. Hines de showing that the general public in clared, "appear for the purpose of terest. as well as the legitimate in terest of those three companies re quire that the lines owned and con trolled by them fhould be placed in the same group. "Their interdependence is not only one of those great existing facts in the railroad situation of the country, but it is a situation which has been the outgrowth of planning of the abl est pioneers in railroad develop ments. The prosperity of the three companies has been due to the reali zation of this early planning." History of the Properties Mr. Hines sketched a brief history of the construction and financing of the corporations concerned, explain ing that the Burlington stock had been purchased in 1901 by the two northern lines as a development from a policy of joint operation and joint use of terminals which the three companies mutually had adopted as early as 1886. The actual purchase of the Burlington he treated as being "simply a further step in the realiza tion of the idea of handling through traffic by these lines," which had been in the minds of their original builders. "We will show from the public standpoint." Mr. Hines continued, "the results of the closer and closer realization of the plan and through President Holden of the Burlington also will show the physical and traffic situation of the Burlington, its relation to the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, its dependence upon interchanged traffic, the injur ious effects which would follow if the tentative grouping of the west ern roads should become effective in fact and the beneficial result if the Burlington, Northern Pacific and Great Northern were grouped to gether. Holden Predicts Losses Heavy losses are in prospect for the Burlington. President Holden testified, if it is divorced from its present association with the, North ern Pacific and Great Northern.'1 A large investment in railroad lines in southern Illinois coal fields had been made by his road, he said, to de jvelop a thru movement of coal to St. I Paul, Minneapolis and Montana I points. A line also, had been put through from Billings, Montana, southward for the interchange of freight tonnage with the northern roads, he said, that long traffic routes had resulted, which coul 3 ' not be broken up without damage ' to the service as well as to the earnings of tbe property. Mr. Holden declared the consolidation proposed by the commission of the Colorado and i Southern, subsidary of the ' Burling ton, with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe would be a mistake. Such a step, he contended, would destroy "an important north and south route between Texas ports and the Inter ior. "The whole plan of the commis sion is based too largely upon the east and west traffic instead of giv ing weight to the Independence of north and south traffic," Mr. Holden said. One of the principal reasons for the large investment by the Burling- ! ton in serving the large southern Illinois territory was to develop a low grade through line for the move ment of that coal to the Twin cities and points beyond and the construc tion of the low grade line south from Billings. Montana, through the cen ter of Wyoming, was also to handle the growing interchange of import ant freight tonnage as well as pas senger business with the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern at that point. The commission, in the tentative plan above referred to, proposes to divorce the Great Northern from the Burlington and assign it to the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail way. This would cause a heavy loss to the Burlington in the important interchange of freight and passenger business at St. Paul and Minneapolis, Sioux City, Iowa, and Billings. Mon tana, and disturb the long standing existing traffic routes without pub lic demand or justification therefor, say the officials of the three lsystem lines.

FINE PIECE OF WORK Our friend, John Fitzpatrick, the genial clerk at Johnson Bros, store is a versatile young man. One might think smiling and wait ing on the trade skilfully was about the only things he does well, but such is not the case. The reporter saw a beautiful linen center piece he had eirbroidered. It was done in colors and showed real talent both in combining colors and workmanship.' Johnvalso does, house painting on the side. He is not very proud of that line though, as he has been at the job of painting his house all summer and the end is not yet, but this cen ter piece he says he did in about two weeks. Most of our men will have to take their hats off to John we are think ing. Weeping Water Republican.

The freshmen of the local high school met last evening at the high school "gym" tor their annual class party and the occasion was one that delighted the hearts of the under graduates to the utmost. As is usual with events of this kind, the members of the other class- 1 es made strong attempts to interfere with the smooth running, of the freshmen gathering and were re pulsed several times in trying to get into the festivities as well as secur ing the freshmen class officers as cap tives. The usual array of games were en joyed interspersed with the efforts of the class to resist the invading of their gathering by their school associates and this furnished much fun and entertainment for the whole crowd present. At a suitable time a very pleas ing luncheon was served that aided in completing the fullness of the en joyment of the jolly party of young sters.

WOMAN WOULD TAKE THE CIRCLE OFF THE BALLOT While Others Attending League Con vention at Hastings Opposed Have a Hot Session. Hastings. Neb., Nov. 17. Stormy debating of the proposal to eliminate the party circle on the ballot in Ne braska gave action to the state con vention of the League of Women Voters here today, and before the vote which will be taken to deter mine what stand the league will lake both sides of the proposal seemed about equally represented. The 'Pennsylvania plan" of gov ernment for the league, which would limit its activity except as to phases pertaiuing to efficiency of govern ment and the machinery of govern ment, seemed to have slight chance of adoption by the Nebraska league. Mrs. A. E. Sheldon advocates an effort to elect at least one woman of broad eduction to every school board. Serious study of all the laws of Nebraska will be undertaken by the various branches of the League of Women Voters over the state dur ing the coming year. Each state chair man has been instructed to compile a brief summary, of each law that comes under her department. Thus Mrs. C. H. Rockwell will specialize in uniform laws pertaining to wom en and children, while Dr. Jennie Calfas of Omaha will summarize the laws concerning social hygiene. Closing of nominations for officers practically assures the re-election of the following: President, Mrs. C. (J. Ryan, Grand. Island; .first vice presi dent, Mrs. J. P.jSenning, Lincoln; second vice president. Mrs. C. H. Die trich. Hastings; third vice president, Mrs. E. B.

CONTROL OF RESOURCES IN CASE OF WAR GENERAL PERSHING OUTLINES ADVISABILITY OF GOVERN MENT PROPOSAL. ARMY IS BULWARK OF LIBERTY And Has Been Called Upon on Aver age of Every Year and a Half to Quell Disturbances. New York, Nov. 17. National de fense plans of the War department contemplate government control of the entire resources of the country under an "efficiency council or board of control." General Pershing an nounced here tonight, speaking at Madison Square garden before the Merchants Association of New York. "According to these plans." Gen eral Pershing said, "the industrial and manufacturing institutions, agri culture and transportation would be under government control while per sonnel pertaining to all cf them would be mustered into the servke as one that is called to the color;. An efficiency council or board of con trol, conforming to our experience in the war. would then be placed in charge of all resources with author ity to make such disposition of them as would best promote the success of the nation in war. "The initial organization and the system to be adopted should soon be in such tangible form that the per sonnel could be selected and organ ized in readiness to take up their duties when needed. Study General Needs "It is the duty of the War depart ment to study the general needs of the country in both men and ma terial to meet the exigencies of war. The conclusions place certain obliga tions upon the army personnel, in addition to its duty as an arm of the administration, from a consideration of which the strength of the army can be determined. "But our recommendations often go unheeded, partly because, in the past, it has been a more or less popu lar thing to cry out against the army as being militaristic or as dangerous to the liberties of the people, or some such ridiculous prattle that might appeal to the ignorant citizen." Discussing the function of business in war. General Pershing said: "That the conduct of war is a big business enterprise which Involves a knowledge of business principles on the part of leaders was vividly brot out during the world war and pre liminary preparations necessary to carry on to success once we become involved in war, should appeal to every business man. Sacrifice Necessary "It is regrettable that a greater number of business men with vision do not make the sacrifice needed under public life during peace, and give their countrymen the benefit of practical business experience in the managership of both national and international affairs, instead of leav ing those duties to the professional office seeker and the political sooth sayer. "In strictly military service, begin ning with the revolution, the army has received an average of one im portant call every year and a half of its existence and, besides foreign war calls include the repression of rebellion, insurrection, conspiracy, uprisings and Indian wars from Shay rebellion in 1766 to Villa's raid on Columbus. New Mexico, in 1916. "During all this time the army has stood as the bulwark of American liberty and has protected our homes and our shores. There is a necessity of an adequate force to guard against the unseen enemy in our midst. "Those are avowed on the destruc tion of American government in favor of some form of communistic sort of government. Many who cry out for disarmament foolishly think the world will follow. Others are led astray by propaganda. All such ten dencies are dangerous. So we really need this small loyal army of ours, not alone as a nucleus, but as some thing that can be relied on in a pinch."

The stockholders of the Platts mouth Loan k Building association held a laeeting last night in pursu ance to the call of the officers to dis cuss the proposals to change their by-laws so as to permit the adoption of more convenient plans of running the affairs of the company. It was decided that the perma nent plan of issuance of stock would be the best for the association in stead of the serial plan that has been in use by the association since its fou ndation. The new plan which has been de cided upon will go far toward simpli fying the conduct of the business, re lieving a great part of the work now necessary to look after the bookkeep ing of the association and make the book much easier to check up as well as being more convenient both to the borrowers and the officers -of the building and loan association.
