RAILROAD BILL BY PETTENGILL REPORTED OUT

Indiana Congressman Wins Victory in Action by Committee. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Timr* Staff '.Vrllrr WASHINGTON, March s.—Representative Samuel B. Pettengill, South Bend, won an almost singlehanded victory by getting his bill to repeal the long and short haul clause from the Railroad Act report'd out by the House Rules Committee. Should it pars the railroads will be able to meet truck and water competition on freight rates, Mr. Pettengill explains. At the present time they are not permitted to charge lower rates for a long haul than those which would be charged for delivery t" intervening points along the way. Fair play for all forms of transportation and no undue advantage for any is the objective of his bill, Mr. Pettengill contends. Pleads for Fair Play ‘ln this struggle for survival there is just one thing the railroads are entitled to have from government,” he said. That is fair play. And that is what they do not now have. They are taxed to build rights-of-way on land, water and in the air for their competitors to use- " Over-regulation has discouraged the initiative of their management. And finally, by such devices as the long and short haul, they have been tied to the post and competing agencies have been free to undersell them.” Mr. Pettengill points out that this clause was inserted in the law in 1837 when railroads enjoyed a transportation but that it is outmoded by tiuck competition. Outlines Competition "We now have five large agencies of transportation, whereas in 1887 the railroads had a practical monopoly," he said. "These five are the railways themselves, pipe lines, waterways, highways and airways. "Os the five, the railroads alone are hamstrung with the long and short haul section. "I now am ready to move a commutation of sentence and give the railroads another and equal chance. "It is time to stop kicking the railroads around. The repeal of the long and short haul simply places the railroads on terms of competitive equality with other carriers—no more, no less.” HERBERT L.

Val Nolan (above), United States district attorney, appeared before the Circuit Court of Appeals, Chicago, today to oppose the appeal of George W. Barrett, Kentucky gunman, sentenced to hang here March 24 for the murder of Nelson B. Klein, a Federal agent, last August. Will H. Thompson a©d Fred C. Gause, Indianapolis attorneys, asserted there was reversible error in the trial in that evidence was admitted concerning the death of Barrett's mother. The inference before the jury, they argued, was that Barrett had killled her, and that this prejudiced the jury against him. The court did not indicate when it would rule.

Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years, and calomel’s oldtime enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation. Olive Tablets do not contain ealomel, just a nealing, soothing vegetable laxative mild and pleasant. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-col-ored tablets. They help cause the bowels to act normally. They nevpr force them to unnatural action. If you have a "(lark brown mouth” —had breath —a dull, tired feeling—sick headache caused by constipation —you should find quick, sure and pleasant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. Thousands take them to keep right. Try them. 15c, 30c, 60c. —Advertisement. REPAIRING of EVERY Hfl KIND i||| ZIPPERS OUR SPEGALITY GAWHL
