Washington. Jan. 29.—Preparation of a bill revising the transportation act of 1920 for introduction during tile present session of congress has been begun by Senator Brookhart. re publican, Iowa, who was elected on an anti-railroad platform last November. Reduction of the net valuation of the railroads to approximately $12,000,000,000, as compared with the valuation of $18,900,000,000 tenta tively fixed by the Interstate Com merce commission, Is probably the principal object of the Brookhart bill, j It would also abolish the United States railroad labor board, give the state railway and utilities commission absolute control of intrastate com merce without interference from the Interstate Commerce commission, and wipe out the section of the transpor tation act directing the Interstate Commerce commission to prescribe rates that will yield a fair return on the value of the property devoted to transportation. The "fair return" is now designated by the commission as 5% per cent, hut the railroads have never earned but slightly in excess of 4 per cent in any year since the act was passed in 1920, and that was last year. Senator Brookhart would reduce the valuation of railroad property by i squeezing the "water” out of railroad i capitalization. The Brookhart hill probably will have the support of the La Follette progressive bloc in congress. 1 Omaha Woman, 90, Dies; Leaves 72 Descendants Mrs. Justina Koziol, 80, a resident of Omaha for 40 years, died at tho home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Sak, 2713 South Twenty-fourth street, Sunday morning.

Editor Defends Luncheon Clubs Ad-Sell Speaker Says Ac quaintanreship Is Asset, Loneliness Is Liability. F. D. Van Amburgh of New York city, editor of the Silent Partner, who spoke at the Advertising-Selling din ner at Hotel Fontenelle last night, ar rived in Omaha yesterday morning. Asked for an opinion on the thought advanced by Sinclair Lewis that noon ! <lay luncheon clubs and chambers of i commerce are somewhat futile. Mr. j Van Amburgh said: “Acquaintanceship is an asset; loneli ness is a liability. A man is measured by the men he associates with. By ; associating with good men a man makes good acquaintanceships, which means firm friendships. Firm friend ships create confidence, and confi dence brings about business. It is self-interest, not selfish interest, that ; causes each man to look for more I business. | “I am a firm believer in working | hard and playing just as hard. Also, I am a firm believer in meeting every man I can who is not in my own line of business, for from these men ' we learn so many things that our own business will not teach us. But no man needs to meet another man to know the deep fundamentals of busi ness. His conscience will tell him ‘ this.’’ Haystack Body Is Identified Letters Indicate Man Found Dead Was Son of Omahjm.
