The Municipal Tree At the meeting last Saturday night at the church looking towards the proper observance of Christmas, the meeting seemed to recognize in Art Dinges, one who would do things, and so heaped on him the responsibility of making a, success of the under taking, and we observed that he had a nice tree at the intersection of the streets, which the lighting plant came and wired and lighted for the occa siou for a number of days before Christmas and with the excellent pro grom which was bad on Saturday night, with the carols which were sung and the radio which was given to Rev.

A MABTEL OF MANAGE MENT AND OPERATION On September 1, 1920, the Trans portation act went into effect, passed for the purpose of permitting the railroad to earn a fair return on its investment. This fair return was fixed at 5 per cent after March, 1922, a little enough profit on the money needed to operate such an es sential industry. Yet in the seven years that have passed, to last Sep tember, the Class I railroads in this country are short over 2V3 billions of dollars of earning the amount per mitted by law. The railroads have no come-back. The government did not actually guarantee them a profit; it merely permits them to earn a limited re turn, regardless of good or bad years. They must pocket their loss in poor years with no chance of recovery in better years. The railroads have shown a mar velous record of service in the face of such an ironclad limitation of in come. No other business is so held under the thumb of inelastic regu lation. A democracy is supposed to encourage fair dealing to all per sons and industries The railroads should not be expections. How many businesses could operate at all un der the rulings thaf apply to rail roads? GOOD PRICES REALIZED FOR STOCK AT FARM SALE Beatrice. Dec. 23.
