Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Indiana, Dec. 1, 1910 IfilESSlF WILL URGE ft MECHANICAL ENGINEER EX PERT DECLARES METHODS WILL REDUCE ANNUAL EXPENSES. Shippers Hold Railroads Have Mad No Effort to Reduce Operaing Costs in Recent Tears. Washington, Nov. 'si. A saving o4 $000.000,000 annually in railroa operating expenses in this countr might be accomplished by the a dop tion of scientific methods of manage ment, according to Harrington Emerson, a mechanH-al engineer expert of New York City, who testified before the Interstate Commerce Commission today. This estimate wbiel is identical with the amount named by Senator A Ulrich of Rhode -Islam? as a possible economy in the administration of the Federal government on business principles, was made in the course of the hearing on the proposed freight rate advances in official classification territory. Today's session of the eomwissior consisted mostly in discussion of scientific management by expert witnesses. This line of testimony was closed late in the afternoon when the commission adjourned until" Friday. Attorney Brandeis, for the Atlantic Seaborad shippers in summing uj the scientific management testimony of his witness reiterated his request that the commission conduct on independent investigation if it believed that the railroads have not introduced such scientific methods and he believed that he had produced evidence to show that they had not. He said the railroad,? use of the recent wagt increases as an excuse for rate increases pointed of "an increase of the burden of the meriean public' More Increases Coming He called attention to what he described a prediction of the heads of great trunk lines that the pending increases were only an earnest of what the public is to expect; that the public must become accustomed to a progressive rise in rates throughout the country. . , Mr. Brandeis assumed that the burden of proof was on the railroads to show whether they have put into operation economies which he did not bei ieve existed and that those economies should first be practiced before resorting to advances. Charles B. Going managing editor of the Engineering Magazine told of the Atchison, Topefco & Sante Fe Railroad effecting a net saving of $5,300,000 in five 3-ears in its repair and machine shops through fundamei tal organization and analytical studj standardization of instruction, etc. Harrington Emerson enginee fac tory manager investigator and business instructor, described the application of scientific management. , of the railroads. He testified that it was by no means settled that larger locomotives meant diminished cost while on the other hand it was quite likely -that the railroad could no' haul as much business as it ,does now with the smaller engines and othei equipment of twenty years ago. Hi did not think very much of thos railroads that had done nothing ir the way of scientific method. He referred to the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific several times ir response to questions by Commissioner Prouty who asked him how it was that those two enterprising roadf had not seen fit to adopt those principles ,if they had not done so. . He said he talked with James Hill and he knew that Mr. Hill's road, uses more power for a less amount and hauls a larger tonnage per locomotive than the Union Pacific. Mr. Emerson believed that a railroad manager "must be: born again" He said all railroads were efficient in some flireetions and particularly cited the Chieago, Milwaukee & St. Paul as one that has a remarkably good record for full efficiency. He contended that railroads efficiency would be impossible without some scientific management but he knew of no road that had adopted scientific management as a whole. P. Taylor' Bryan counsel for the Business Men's League of St. Louis introduced as a witness P. W. Coyle traffic commissioner for that league formerly assistant freight manager of the Wabash system and for fortyone years in the railroad business. He said the league represented upward of 65 per cent of the freight tonnage out of St. Louis. He alleged that there is no justification for the proposed increases in rates which he arraigned as grossly unfair and discriminative. Cards of Thanks.

EXPECT RICH MELON SLICES

INDIANA DEMOCRATS HAVE PRIOR CLAIM OVER OTHERS FOR CONGRESSIONAL JOBS Many Office Holders Nervous Lest Special Session Shall Be Called. ' Washington, Nov. 26. Hungry Indiana Democratic politicians should cln-er up. The patronage of the state Legislature and state offices i& not the only melon that is to be cut. Another patronage melon will be sliced when the national House of Representatives organizes for the Sixty-second Congress. In size and luscious characteristics this latter nelon will make all Indiana legislate patronage look like 30 cents. Indiana will be entitled to a very iberal cut out of the Federal melon. ' .""here are two reasons why Indiana as a prior claim over a majority of )ther states. In the first place, it s admitted that thesplendid showing ndiana made from the Democratic iewpoint in the recent election, vhen twelve out of the thirteen conressional districts were carried by democrats, sufficienty entitles the loosier' delegation to insist upon the rost liberal recognition. In the seiend place if Champ Clark, a Southmer gets the speakership and South .Ynble also a Southerner gets the 1'. ship the North will have a right o ' 'hi out its pate for a major porlon of the other plums and Indiana eing a pivotal Northern state may easonably expect its plate to be filld heaping high. Three Lead Pie Line The pie counter of the House of fcpresentaties at Washington has a 'ery attractive and luring appearinee for mnuy of the faithful, whose nouths are watt ring in anticipation, mt the general admission of the adnee guard of representatives is that tates like Indiana, West , Virginia md Ohio, which made the best showng at the election will be entitled, to it in at the first call for pie. There ias been no casting up, of course to letermine how many places each of he twelve Indiana Democratic representatives elect will "be allowed. There never is any hard and fast rule is to patronage allotments in the House and each member proceeds n the theory that he is entitled to ill he caiiget. . " . - '-" "., Altogether i be, r capture . of the !Iouse by ;the "Democrats ..pave', thera lbout hour Iiuured positions of which rndiana will secure . its proportion with an extra share for the reasons just stated These places carry salar"es ranging from $5,000 a year down to $730. Counting $1.500 as the .early average the total amount paid 3ut in salaries to House employes. is lot far from $000,000 annually Contrary to general opinion the "haplain' of the House is one of the Poorest paid employes his salary be"ng $1,000 a year. He is also one of he most regular in attendance. Imnemorial custom requires .each session to be opened with prayer and thee haplin is very punctual' at the morning hour. Following are some, of the other positions that, emme .under the Aeiignation of J House, "spoils": ' Secretary to the speaker,. $2,350; parliamentary clerk, $3,000; journal ?lerk, $3,000; two reading clerks, :i,600 each; tally elerk $3,000; printrng and bill clerk, $2,500; disbursing clerk, $2,500, file clerk, $2,750; nrolling clerk, $2,500; assistant disbursing clerk, $2,000; assistant chief :lerk, , $2,00); librarian, $1,800 disbursing clerk, $2,500; assistant postraster $2,500; doorkeeper, $3,500. " This does not include an army of . ssistaut doorkeepers clerks, elevator nen, janitors, etc. who get good wags for short hours. . The typical position- ; connected vi th the National House of Representatives might apropriately thij.-de-cribed as a "lazy man's job." .Vhen Congress is not in session here is nothing for the average mploye to do. . . There is uncertainty as to when he; Democratic hosts will take losession of this pie- counter. Under rdinary circumstances the House vould not organize lor the Sixtyecond Congress until December 1911 ind until the House organizes the ?epublican incumbents will continue o hold the places and draw the saliries. On the either hand if President raTt should call Cong-ess in extra esion next spring the House will or-ranizi-immediately after the call of he-Republican. incumbents will be Mimed out of office and their p'aces Hied with Democrats. It is known that a good many of the persons holding positions' in the House organization are nervous lest a special session shall be called.. . New Suits' Filed.

MEASURE AND WEIGHT TABLE

STATUTES FACT IS KNOWN NOT GENERALLY TO PEOPLE BUT HAVE BEEN . 1 Law Over Half Century Old Has Failed to Attract Attention ' Until Present 4 Time. Indianpolis Nov. 29.Fe w peopie in the state are aware that there is on the statue books of the state a law to regulate the weights and measures used in this state and which makes it the duty of the county auditor to test all weiahts and measures attention to it. Now, howeyergII .E. Barnard state food and drug commisioner says lie is going to ask the coining legislature to pass a law which will be effective along thaf line and which will replace the old. He regards this as necessary in order to have an established and uniform standard for the resrulaticj of iransacuons mat laKe place every day ' . among the people of Indiana 111 which articles are bougl :ht and fold V weight The . numbf r of such ery day is beyond :1 it is highly importfixed standard of and measures transactions, ev computation an ant to have a fixed standard of weights and measures for the enforce ment of honesty among dealers and the protection of buyers. The subject is one that calls for rrovernment regulation. To permit individuals to adopt their own weights ,aud measures would be as absurd and mischievous as to permit every man to coin money of different values. It would cause confusion, general dishonesty and universal wrangling, .There must be a standard fo. all apil .it must be established maintained .and enforced by governImeiit."

ElIA LEAVES CULVER Well Known Marshall County Man Moves Family to Rochester for Future Home. " t Concerning the departure of Dr. Ilea, from Culver ,where he has been a Jong time, and respected resident, the Citizen of that town says: "When a citizen leaves' a community in which he has lived 30 years, such a testimonial as was tendered to Dr. Rea and his family Tuesday night must be a gratifying assurance that he has not failed in his duties as a citizen and a neighbor. On the eve of departure of the Rea family for Rochester it seemed the proper thing for-the citizens of Culver to give them a reception where something like a fitting expression of the community's appreciation and esteem could be offered. In pursuance of this idea the Osborn hotel was filled with a company of representative men and women from 8 until 12 o'clock. At 9.30 the company assembled in th dinning room where Landlord Osborn served a five course supper ,at the close of which Toastmaster Dr. Wiseman took the direction of the proram. His own remarks were reminiscent of Culver in its. -- - - j-' w 'VAU that Dr. Rea had been identified with the progress of the place. Supt. Haha followed with his testimony of the many years service of Dr. Rea on th chool board. Others speakers were Rev Mr. Michael. -T IT KVvnnf TV1 Miuutfr iiavs anil ifn Tin in ihA nnmr (er Hand, Captains Hunt, Glascock,111(1 No:lf flip l.ncf frtin. r.1 ...w .u . v uauiCU A v presenting the academy at which Dr. Rea was surgeon for many years.
