IDLE
The railroads report they have
2,283,908 freight cars on their lines,
of which 646,672 are idle. There are
two reasons for this idleness.
The first is seasonal. Freight al
ways moves lightly in January.
The second reason is that freight
rates are so high that they are pro
hibitive for a normal movement of
business. Henry Ford seems to be
the only railroad man who gets the
idea.
The solution of the railroad prob
lem is in big volume of business at
low individual profits.

If -true, deserves more prominence

It is a Los Angeles dispatch tell

No explanation apparently has
oeen asked or given concerning this
hback to Japan movement, if it
'tnat. Yet if tbere is a definite tide
of great significance.
Are the Japanese iving up the
economic struggle in this country?
Are they homesick? Are they acting
upon a plan of the Japanese govern
ment to colonize 1n some other part
of the world, Siberia, perhaps? Is
this movement evidence of racial
pride which will not ipermit the Ja
panese to &tay where their welcome
has been so scant as in our west and
southwest? Are they voluntarily do
ing their part to remove all causes
are the women and children the ones
to go? Will the Japanese men follow
latar?
An endless number of queries must
inevitably arise. The correct answer
to them might be big news.
USELESS TO ARGUE
Enough oil stock has been sold in
Nebraska during the past three years
to pay oft the state debt and leave
a balance sufficient to run the state
government for at least a year.
If any folks hereabouts have garn
ered dividends on investments of
this character, it is not a matter of
record. Up to this time we have fail
ed to find a single oil millionaire in
our midst.
s
However, the folks who expect to
get rich out of trifling investments
in oil stocks at least have a gorgeous
period of golden dreams. Most of us
plod along and lose our money in
divers and sundry ways without even
that recompense. We do not even
get the rude awakening that comes to
those who have bought pipe dreams.
And, after all, it isn't worth while
to advise or argue with people who
buy oil stocks. If they were not
making investments in gaudily litho
graphed certificates in oil companies,
they would probably be buying cor
ner lots on the moon or country es
tates in Mars.
PREMONITION
In Omaha, Earl Mynster, 21 years
old, startled his father by telling him
that he had seen every part of an
operation performed on him for ap
pendicitis. He described accurately, to sur
geons, details of the operation that
took place 30 minutes after ether
made him unconscious.
Now he is dead and physic experts
are discussing the case. Did his spirit
leave his body on the operating table,
watch the operation, then return?
Some think that's what happens
during sleep, the spirit wanderingjn
dreamland.

What a lucky bunch we are that
the record-breaking earthquake oc
curred in the middle of the PaciQc
ocean instead of the middle of the
Mississippi valley, but we'll go right
on pitying ourselves because the
steak is tough or we have to go to
the dentist.

With the arrival of a bit more

ANDREWS OFFERS
IEW BONUS PLAN
IN THE HOUSE
Nebraska Representative Would Have
Government Collect an Old Debt
from Twenty-Six States.
Washington, Feb. 23. Represen
tative Andrews, republican, Nebras
ka, came forward today with a pro
posal to finance a bonus partly thru
the collection from twenty-six states
of $28,101,644.91 loaned them by the
federal government eighty-six years
ago. He introduced a bill to direct
the treasury department to call for a
refund of the principal with interest
at 4 per cent from the date of the
loans. This would yield a total of
$124,000,000, Mr. Andrews estimat
ed. The balance needed for meeting
a soldiers' bonus could he inct thru
conversion of tbe British debt into
marketable securities, he said.
Explaining the existence of the
fund he proposed should be collected
from the states, Mr. Andrews said
that in 1836, with a surplus of funds
on hand and no place to store them
congress enacted legislation trans
ferring the fund to states on the
basis of population, with the stipu
lation that it was to remain with the
states "until congress directs other
wise." Congress has authority, Mr.
Andrews contends, to require re
payment. The amounts loaned the states,
whiGh. in each instance, if repaid
with 4 per cent interest would total
more than four times the principal,
follow: Maine and Maryland, $955,
83S each; Alabama, New Hampshire
and Vermont, $699,036 each; Massa
chusetts, $1,338,173; Connecticut
and New Jersey, $764,670 each; Mis
sissippi, Missouri and Rhode Island,
$382,335 each; New York, $4,014,
520; Pennsylvania, $2,867,614; Vir
ginia, $2,198,427; South Carolina
and Georgia. $1,051,422; Louisiana
and Illinois, $477,919 each; Kentuc
ky, North Carolina and Tennessee,
$1,433,757 each; Ohio, $2,007,260;
Indiana, $860,254; Arkansas, Dela
ware and Michipan, $288,751 each.
In an open letter today to Chair
man Fordney, Representative Ansor
?e, republican. New York, suggested
"selective, bonus" for the sick, the
wounded and the needy.
"There are many ex-soldif5rs," Mr.
Ansorge said, "who do not need the'
bonus and do not want it, and in the
presfnt condition of our finance we
--should not force it upon them. Some
method should be provided to divert:
