Ea:-." ',lan Foresees Government Ownership and Operation
of Railways---Progress of President's Money Bill--
American Recognition for Mendieta.
By EDWARD
tlEN the railroad problem of the
United States is solved, it will
be found that the solution is govern-
ment ownership and operation, in the
opinion of 3oseph ]3.
Eastman, federal co-
ordinator of t r a n s-
portation. The conclu-
sion is set forth in his
first report, made to
the Interstate Com-
merce commission and
transmitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, vice
President Garner and
Speaker Rainey. Mr.
Eastman says the so-
J. B. Eastman
lutlon he foresees
would not be inconsistent with our
theory of government.
Explaining that when governments
acquire private property they normally
pay more than it is worth° Mr. East-
man reaches the conclusion that the
remedy should not be applied to rail-
"roads now because the country is not
"financially in a condition to stand
the strain of an acquisition of these
great properties."
The co-ordinator, having sot up
what he wishes to be the objective of
future national railroad policy, then
proceeds to make recommendations
within the limits of existing laws. He
is decidedly skeptical of the Prince
plan for consolidation of the roads, for
his assistant, William B. Poland, has
made studies that show the economies
under this scheme would be less than
one-third of the original estimates.
Most significant of the recommenda-
tions on consolidations is that pro-
posais for compulsory consolidations
should be given a trial provided that
the commission and the co-ordinator
find the proposed mergers to be In the
public Interest. Mr. Eastman throws
the weight of his approval behind a
method of compulsory consolidation
through exchange of securities with-
out the use of cash. Execution of such
a method, which the co-ordinator's
legal assistant. Leslie Craven, believes
can be accomplished, would accelerate
the merging of eastern railroads into
the four systems previously agreed
upon.
Mr. Eastman says that reorganiza-
tion of railroads now bankrupt "should
be effected as speedily as practicable.
and In a manner which will result in
a very material reduction in fixed
charges," He calls attention to the
fact that some of the most success-
ful reorganizations in raLt¢oad history
took place in the midst Of flnanclai de-
pressions. Wall Street theory has
been that reorganizatlus should bd
postponed as long as possible.
Many of the railroads' vital prob-
lems can be dealt with adequately by
the carriers themselves, but "there is
as yet insufficient organization and
leadership in the industry for effec-
tive co-operation tn such undertak-
ings." It is quite possible. Mr. East-
man believes, that a study of these
problems "will Dave the way to a much
larger use of motor vehicles as an ad-
Junct to railroad service, and to a re-
vamping and simplification of the
frelght-rate structure."
In advancing government ownership
as the specific remedy for the Indus-
try, the co-ordinator notes the adverse
effects of the competition of the rail-
roads with each other, and of their
Inability to co-operate effectively in:
matters of common concern This l:
illustrated in the difficulty with which
standards of equipment and of sup-
plies have been adopted. Difficulties
in action toward the radJustment of
rates also is cited, especially as related
to meeting the threat from other me-
diums of transportation.
"The competition of these new agen-
cies also makes the preservation of in-
tense competition between railroads a
much less Important thing from the
public point of view than It once was."
C .ALOS MEXDIETA Is quite satis-
factory to the United States as
president of Cuba in view of the fact
that he has the backing of a majority
of the Cuban people
and apparently ts ca-
pable of restoring or-
der In the island. So
President Roosevelt
informed the diplo-
matic envoys of the
other Latin-American
countries whom he
had summoned to the
White House. The
President virtually in-
vited the other na-
tions to take the same Carloe
course but made it Mendieta
clear that his mind was made ul) any-
way. Secretary Hull after leaving the
White House, said Colombia and Mex-
Ico already had recognised the Men-
dicta regime and Chile was about
ready to do so. When Mr. Hull was
on way home from South America he
was met at Key West bY Jefferson
Caffery, the President's personal rep-
resentative In Cuba. and fully informed
on conditions and prospects in the Is-
]and. . Caffery is scheduled to be
made ambassador to Cuba.
Presldent Roosevelt plans to do sev-
eral favors to Cuba that should make
Mendleta solid with hls people. The
wips in Cuban waters will be with-
drawn. The Platt amendment to the
t
W. PICKARD
Cuban constitution" permitting the
United States to intervene in Cuban
affairs to maintain law and order will
be junked. And congress will be asked
to give Cuba a big preferential reduc-
tlon in the American sugar tariff.
Sugar raising is the island's chief In-
dustry and for five years it has been
in a severe slump, and the resulting de-
pression has caused much of the po-
litlcal disturbance.
Havana was ubilant over the news
of President Roosevelt's action.
"Recognition is the greatest gift
the United States can grant Cuba."
commented President Carlos Mendleta.
"It means that political stabilization
in the island will be furthered and
that a real start can be made with
the co-operation of the United States
toward economic rehabilitation.
"PreSident Roosevelt may rest as-
sured that I have personally assumed
responsibility for foreign life and prop-
erty, especially America's $2,000,000,-
000 investments here."
ECRDTARY HULL, on his arrival
in Washington, made a personal
report to the President on the Pan-
American conference in Montevideo ;
and in a statement to the press he
said: "Confidence bern of the feeling
that the United States, instead of be-
ing an arrogant or indifferent blg
brother, is sincerely eager for the role
of equal partnership with the other
Americas has resulted in a surge of
good will toward the United States."
The press In the leading South
American cities is unanimous in the
opinion that Mr. Hull hu brought
about a great betterment in the rela-
tions between Latin America and the
United States and that there will be a
decided increase of inter-American
trade.
LANS of the American Legion to
ask congress for more liberal treat-
meat of veterans have stirred up a
row in Washington. The Legion is
urging enactment of
a four-point program
to cost $80,000,000 a
year. Gen" Frank T.
Hines, administrator
of the veterans' bu-
rean" thought this fig-
ure was too low. esti-
mating the cost at a

neous and by infer- Hines
ence accused General Hines of ul-
terior motives and lack of Integrity.
In a letter to Edward A. Hayes, com-
mander of the Legion, HInes de-
nounced the criticism of his estimates
as wholly uncalled for and said the
Legion's own rehabilitation committee
had admitted they were more nearly
correct than its own estimates.
Meanwhile the President had an-
nounced new modifications of his ex-
ecutive regulations concerning pay-
menta to disabled war veterans, the
changes adding more than $21,000,000
annually. There were intimations at
the V'hite House that Mr. Roosevelt
would seek to persuade the Demo-
crats In congress not to go beyond this
liberalization.
RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S money
bill went through the house with a
rush, the vote being 360 to 40. Sixty-
eight Republicans Joined the obedient
Democrats in supporting the measure.
James R Clajborne of Missouri and
George B. Terreil of Texas were the
only Democrats recorded in the neg-
ative.
The senate received the bill and re-
ferred it to the banking and currency
committee, which held a hearing that
was lively while it lasted. Prof.
George Warren, author of the dollar
depreciation and gold purchase pro-
gram, explained to the committee the
theory of commodity price regulation
by manipulation of the currency.
Then, taking up consideration of the
measure, the committee heard the vig-
orous objections of Senators Glass.
Gore and McAdoo to several features
of the bill notably the proposed suix-
ure of the federal reserve bank gold,
and the granting of unlimited financial
power to the secretary of the treasury.
It was confidently predicted by the
admInistration leaders that the bill
would be Put through the senate un-
changed, but stubborn fights over vari-
ous proposed amendments were cer-
tain. The vote on a plan to limit the
use of the $2,000,000,000 stabilization
fund was expected to be close. Advo-
cates of the remonetition of silver,
who are fairly numerous in the sen-
ate, prepared a compromise silver
plan to be offered as an amendment
to the devaluation measure.

BEVERLY HILLS.Well all I know
is Just what I read in the papers, or
what I hear hither and thither. Couple
of weeks ago, had
an interesting little
four day stay in
Riverside, Cal.
thats the home of
the famous Mission
Inn, the most
unique hotel in
America. Its a mon-
estary, a mission, a
fine hotel, a home,
a boarding house, a
museum, an art gal-
cry, an aviators'
shrine. It combines
the best features of all the above. If
you are ever in any part of Cal dent
miss the famous Mission Inn at River-
side.
We were out there filming the trot-
ting racing scenes in David Harum.
They have a great old Fair Grounds.
We had about 150 people from Holly.
wood out there, then used a couple of
hundred extras from there, and it was
like a picnic. We had some real old
race horse authorities, men who had
been Judges and starters on these
tracks for years and years. Well sir
there, is nothing any more interesting
to talk to than an old horseman, and
there is nothing any older than a trot-
ting horseman. I never saw a man In
the trotting horse business under 80.
Now in our scenario, or script, as
those things are called after Rob Wag-
net's famous script, why it had the
race being for the best two out of three
heats. That means to any of you that
dent know harness racing, that there
is one race after another till one horse
wins two. If he wins the first two its
all over, but he must win two. So we
were to have it that way, but these old
fellows, knowing the time the story
was laid, 1893, informed us that in
those days it was three out of five
heats. One horse had to win three races
in the afternoon to win the prize. Well
they said they had seen as many as
ten heats, before one horse was able
to wm three.
They claimed that in most cases a
pacing horse was a couple of seconds
faster than a trotter, although that
when two record holders met, the trc.
ter bep_*, the pacer. There are many
cases where a horse has been changed
in a season from a trotter to a pacer.
The pacer's power and strength and
drive come from his hind legs (like a
runner) but a trotters come from his
front legs. His is hy reaching, and not
by pushing. There are two great strains
the Hamlltonians and the Morgans.
They are pedigreed and are called
standard bred horses. Its a peculiar
cross from a thoroughbred with a
mixed cold blood.
They say a trotter or pacer is more
intelligent than a runner. He has to
know more; he evidently must have
more endurance, for no runner could
run ten heats in an afternoon.
We are drivIng the first make of low
wheel aulkys. They come in '92. Still
they are much higher than the low
ones they use today.
I want to ted you
its quite a trick, try-
lng to drive one of
those with pretty
fast horses too, and
en drivers on the
track at once.
There is always a
hole big enough for
:he horse but how
about the buggy he
is towing talong!
The only thing I
had to recommend
me was that I looked as old as a driver.
I used to be a pretty good Just old com-
mon horse driver as a young fellow
back home, but I never made the
tracks. My father was the best driver
I ever saw, though. Well be hed quite
a little training in his young days. He
used to haul freight from St. Joe. Mis.
sourL to, Dallas, Texas.
Lord, his son hasent got hardly
enough endurance to make the same
trip in a plane, but I have seen Papa
hitch em up when there was really
wild and go where he wanted to with
'en not where they wanted too. So if
I show any driving ability in this my
rst real effort, it is inherited. Its not
from hard work, perseverance, and
taking advantage of my opportunities,
(as the American Magazine used to ad-
vise us). By the way this depression
tad the fall of the hit man has kinder
knocked the props out of all those sac-
cess storys we used to get fed av on.
This is Just an age of being a good
Democrat and holding an office. Thats
all there is to success now.

Indian Pennies
Indian cents were coined from 1858
to 1909, inclusive. A few rare one&
made of nickel, aluminum or unusual
alloys ar at considerable premium,
bat they are never seen in circulation.
The Lincoln cents were first issued in
1909, Some of these of that year bear
on the reverse the initials of the de,
signer, Victor D, Brenner. These were
removed before the end of the year,
Under the date on many Lincoln cents
appear the letters "S" and "D," indb
caring that the} were made at the San
Fraucisco or Denver mints. The 1922
cent is the rrest of all modern ones.
It sells at a premium of a few cents
and is seldom to be seen in circulation.
Only a few more than 90,000 of that
date were issued.
Lesson in Justice.Holmet
Finding New 'F00ring Line'
"I always thought," said Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes, when he was
eighty years old, "that when I got to
be four-score I could wrap up my
life in a scroll, tie a pink ribbon
around it, put it away in a drawer,
and go around doing the things 1
wanted to do. But I learned that
when you have taken one trench
there is always a new firing llne be-
yond."
That was when he was elghty--
deciding that there was always a
new firing line I So we might guess---
if so many Washington correspond-
ents had not said it of him---that at
eighty and past eighty, this man was
interesting, he was living to the full-
est extent, and he was one of the
few of whom people would hazard
the opinion that he was happy. And
when, near ninety-one, he finally re-
tired from the Supreme court bench,
what he did to remain happy was
probably to Live as nearly as pos-
sible the same busy kind of life he
had always led.
:No one pitied Justice Holmes for
not being able to retire, and, at
eighty, "do the things I wanted to
do." The things we have always
wanted to do are very likely, with
most of us, to be food for Just s
summer, and to pall before a vaca.
tion time is over. What w all want
to do is to live fully as long as we
live, to be doers and givers as long
as we llve, to live with zest for our-
selves and interest for others.
That was one advantage that men,
in past generations, had over women.
They stayed interesting longer, they
stayed young longer, because they
stayed longer, as a rule. in a vortex
of activity. They were not, in middle
life, like most of their wives, left

One barrister, in answer, thought
it meant "typist," another "a short-
bahd writer." A third offered that

high and dry with the privilege of
deciding what it was they wanted to
do. There were always too many
things which they were called upon
to do. And that Is the great boon
for women in this day and age--the
opportunity for interests and activi-
ties which do not end when their
children grow up, Interests and even
work outside the home which give
them into the later years what the
French call "raison d'etre"a reason
for being. Rather we should say of
these activities that what they give
us is a reason for being busy, for
being necessary, for being important,
for being Interested in every day, and
therefore for being interesting---and
happy.

extend to my readers for the coming
year is: May you continue to find

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative
Hospitals and doctors have always
tmedliquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives inliquid
form, Do you know the reasons?
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can be con-
trolled. It forms no habit; you need
not take a double dose' a day or
two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement, and there is
no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartm may keep
you constipated as long as you keep
on using it! And the hbitual use of
irritating salts, or of powerful dru
in the highly concentrated form o!
pills and tablets may prove injurious.
A week with a prooerlyprepared
liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A
few weeks' time, and your bowels
can be "as regular as clockwork.".
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an
approved liquid laxative which all
druggists keep ready for use.lt makes
an meat amity laxative; effective for
all ages, and may be given th8
