SAFETY DEMANDS
FEDERAL CONTROL
OF THE RAILROADS
Only Way to Meet Emergencies
of Nation, Says A. P. Thorn.
STATES' RIGHTS PRESERVED
Principle Which Railway Hold Should
Govern Regulatory System In Inter
iti of Publio and the Roada Com
puliory System of Fadoral tncorpo
ration Favorod.
Washington, Dec. That the Inter
ests of national defense require that
control of railway line should rest
with the federal government and not
with' the states was the claim ad
valued by Alfred P. Thorn, counsel
to the Railway executives' Advisory
Committee, In concluding his prelim
inary statement of the case for the
railways before the Newlands Joint
Committee on Interstate Commerce.
"We must be efficient as a nation If
we are to deal successfully with our
national emergencies. said Mr. Thorn,
"and we must appreciate that efficient
transportation ls an essential condition
of national efficiency. If we are to
halt and weaken our transportation
systems by state linos, by the perma
nent Imposition of burdens by unwise
regulation, we will make national effl
cleucy Impossible."
states' Rights Would Not Suffer.
Mr. Thnm cited many Instances to
which shippers In one stnte were In
Jurlously affected by selfish retails
tlons Imposed on the railroads by
neighboring states, lie pointed out
that federal regulation would be no In
vaslon of the riglits of the slates but
would be the means of preserving the
rights which they acquired when they
entered the Union, one of which wna
the right to the free movement of their
products across state boundnrles.
What the Railroads Advocate.
The principles which the railroads
believe should be incorporated In any
Just system of regulation were sum
mnrlzed by Mr. Thorn as follows:
1. The entire power end duty of reg
ulation should be In the blinds of the
national government, except as to mat
ters so essentially local and Incidental
that they cannot be used to Interfere
with the efficiency of the service or the
Just rights of the carriers.
2. As one of the means of accom
plishing this, a system of compulsory
federal lncoiporatlou should M adopt
ed. Into which should be brought all
railroad corwiratlons engaged In inter
state or forelgo commerce.
3 The Interstate Commerce Commls
slon under existing lawajias too much
to do and ls charged with conflicting
functions. Including the Investigation,
prosecution and decision of cases. The
latter duties should be placed In the
hands of a new body which might lie
called the Federal Itallroad Commls
slon. Regional Commissions should
be established In different parts or
the country to assist the Interstate
Commerce Commission by .handling lo
cat cases
4. The power of the Commission
should be extended to enable It to pre
scrilH) minimum rates and not merely
maximum rates as at present. This
would Increase their fsiwer lo prevent
unjust discriminations.
Justice to Publio and Roada.
5. It should be made the duty of the
Interstate Ooiiiuht' Commission, in
the exercise of It nowers to fix reii
sonable rates, to so adjust these rates
that they shall be just at once to the
public and to the carriers. To (his end
the Commission. In determining rute-t.
should consider the necessity of maiu
tabling efficient transportation and ex.
tensions of facilities, the relation of
expenses to rates and the rights of
shippers, stockholder ami creditors of
the ron'ls i
ft. The Interstate Commerce Commls
slon should be 1 ii et itl with the pow
er to tlx the n t for currying malls
7. The federal uoverumenl should
have exclusive power to supervise the
Issue of stocks and bonds by railroad
carriers engaged in interstate and for
elgn commerce.
8. The law should recognize the es
sential difference between things which
restrain trade In the case' of ordinary
mercantile concerns and those which
restrain trade in the case of common
carriers. The question of competition
is not the only fair criterion.
V The law should expressly provide
for the meeting ami agreement of traf
fic or other officers of railroads in re
spect of rates or practices, litis
should, however, be safeguarded by
requiring the agreements to be tiled
with the- Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and to be subject to be disapprov
ed by It
"My legal proposition, Mr. Thorn
said. "Is that the Constitution as it
now is gives full authority to Congress
to reenlste the Instrumentalities of In
terstate commer e la all their parts.
If the power of regulation is to reach
the public requirements, it must be co
extensive with the Instrumentalities of
commerce."
Mr Thorn explained that the roads
are not asking either of the Committee
or of Congress any Increase in reve
nues, but that they are msrely asking
the perfection of a system which will
be responsible to any need that may
rise.

cHvlng many liMtilriea ro
gnrding long-time Ioajis
The prospect of long-time loana at
low rates of Interest haa aroused
much Interest among Nebraska
farmers In the Federal Fr.m Loan
Art, and largo numbers of queries for
information aa well aa applications
for loana are being received at the
Agricultural Extension Service offices
at the University Farm, Lincoln.
The Extension Service has also re
ceived some 20 applications for
meetings at which Extension speak
ers will explain the workings of the
new law. County agents, especially
In western Nebraska, are receiving a
large number of Inquiries from
farmers and are holding many meet
ings for the putpoHo of establishing
loan associations.
A rate of interest not to exceed 6
per rent (probably much lower) Is
the outstanding advantage to bo
gained for the borrower wuo wakes
use of the loan association. Inas
much aa V e average Nebraska farm
er now pay 7.1 per cent for the
money he borrowa, thla low rate of
Interest will do much to make the
man heavily In debt sleep easier.
According to figures furnlsLed by the
United States department of agri
culture, district! In western Nebras
ka pay still higher average rates,
one district reaching 8.8 per cent
The long-time loan with amall annual
payments will also make matters
much easier for the borrower.
Loana cn bo secured for one-half
the valuo of the land and for one
fifth of the value of Improvements.
No loan can be less than $100 or
more than 110.000. As soon ns ten
farmers In one locality desire loans
amounting to $20,000, a local asso
ciation can then be formed.
If further Information ls desired,
the following blank filled out and
mailed to the Extension Service will
bring full particulars for the organ
ization of a loan association:

FEEDIXO MOLDY COHN
Feedlng moldy corn to horses of
ten causes blind statspers or similar
diseases, says the college of agricul
ture, Lincoln. Several fungi are
known to be responsible for. mold,
according to the agrlcudtural botany
department. As moldy kernels are
lighter than water, they may be sep
arated from the sound ones my plac
ing the grain In water and skimming
off the kernels that rise to the top.
Mixing moldy corn with bran and
oats appears to lessen danger to an
imals that consume It. Specimens of
moldy ears may be sent to the agri
cultural botany department, Univer
sity Farm, for examination.
To look one's best and feet one's best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morning
to flush from the system the previous
day's waste, sour fomentations and poi
sonous toxins before it is altsorbcd into
the blood. Just as coal, when It burns,
leaves behind a certain amount of in
combustible material In the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken each
day leave in the alimentary organs a
certain amount of itidigentible material,
which If not eliminated, form toxins and
poisons which are then sucked into the
blood through the very duct which are
intended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to seo the glow of healthy
bloom in your cliecks, to see your skin
gnt olearer and clearer, you are told to
drink every morn i or upon arising", a
elas of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, which is a
barmlesa means of washing the waste
material and toxins from the stomach,
fiver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary tract, before putting more"
food into the stomach.-
Girls and women with sallow k1ne,
liver snots, pimples or pallid oomp4es
Inn, also those who wake lip wiUl
coated tongue, bad taste, naaty brcauV
others who are bothered with headache,"'
bilious spells, acid stomach or conatlnsV-'
tioh should begin this phosphated MftV
water drinking and are assured of very
pronounced results in one or two weekeC -
A quarter pound of limestone phoa
phate costs very little at the drug sto)'
but is sufficient to demonstrate that (net t
as soap and hot water cleanses, purllUraiJ
and freshens the skin on the outside,
hot water and limestone phosphate as
