MANY CHANGES ARE MADE AT FEDERAL BLDG. New Judge and District At- . torney —Policy Changed in Prohibition Office. Many changes in the personne’. of Government employes at the Federal Bldg., here have been effected durin gthe past year. There also have been a few changes in administration policies in the various departments. The most noteworthy changes in the personnel at the building were Judge Rober C. Baltzeil, Circuit Court judge of Princeton, Ind., who followed Judge A. B. Anderson, on the Federal bench, and-Bert Morgan, former proibition director of Indiana, superseded by Ansel R. Harris. Judge Anderson wjus appointed a member of the judicial staff of the Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago. Two New Judges This year saw the Hickey.bill effected, which divided this district Into seven Federal Court divisions and placed a second judge on the Federal bench in Indiana. The other Judge Is Judge Thomas W. Slick, whose residence court is at South Bend, Ind. Morgan's retirement from the prohibition force came as a result of the nation-wide changes in the department in which agents were .dropped from the force and others prohibition enforcement district and was placed in the Thirteenth district, under Prohibition Administrator E. C. Yellowley at. Chicago. Harris was made deputy administrator at

Looking in 1926 Continued progress was made by the railroads in 1925, when they demonstrated their ability to meet satisfactorily the exacting transportation requirements of the country. By adequate and efficient service they contributed materially to the prosperity that was enjoyed by virtually all elements of our population. Asa result of extensive improvements and additions to their facilities, the railroads are at present in excellent physical condition. Their rates, measured by the level of prices generally, are lower on the average than they were ten years ago. The economies effected through prudent investments and more efficient operation have produced from increased traffic a moderate but promising increase in net earnings for the railroads as a whole, notwithstanding the relatively low level of rates charged. These evidences of improvement in the railway situation point to future progress. The business activity which marked the closing months of 1925 was on a sound basis, and the outlook for continued activity in the early part of 1926 is goM. If favorable conditions prevail throughout the year, 1926 maj r make unprecedented demands upon railway facilities. The railroads are prepared. Their accomplishments of 1925 give reason to expect satisfactory transportation from them in 1926. Transportation requirements have always developed more rapidly than our population has increased. During the last twenty-five years the annual per capita requirement for railway freight transportation increased from 1,860 ton-miles to 3,770 ton-miles. As population continues to grow both in number and in capacity to consume and as the further development of commerce and industry makes possible increased per capita production, th 6 demand for transportation is certain to become greater. The railroads can meet that demand. They are capable of vast development. Their ability to expand is indicated by the fact that in recent years they not only have kept pace with the greatly increased demand for transportation hut at the same time have overcome the shortage of transportation which formerly existed. The railroads must always progress in efficiency and economy as well as in capacity. The public is entitled to, and must have,- the best and most economical transportation that can be produced. The progress which the railroads already have made along these lines is a proof of their desire and a guaranty of their ability to continue to make such progress. There is every reason to look upon the recent past of the railroads with approval and to their immediate future with confidence. They provide a service tlat is of prime importance to this large and growing cluntry. They are doing that work satisfactorily and are preparing to do it even better. * M Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, . President, Illinois Central System. CHICAGO, January 1, 1926.
