THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, . | RAILWAY PRESIDENT SAYS GOVERNMENT 1S INJURING LINES Tells Bankers [resent Policy Threatens Future Wel- fare of Carri-rs Cleveland, O. Oct. 2—(#)—Fred W. Sargent, president of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway company, told members of the American Bank- ers association at their closing busi- ness session today that the govern- ment’s transportation policy threat- ens the future welfare of the rail- roads. He said the profits of the railroads have been constantly nibbled away by rate reductions, and at the same time considerabl quantities of freight have been lost by the railroads in the diversion of traffic from them to in- Jand waterways and highways. The competitors of the railroads have been subsidized, he charged, by tax- payers’ money. “While these processes of rate re- ductions and the diversion of traffic by subsidized transportation have been ‘taking place, the carriers’ ex- penses have been increased largely through agencies operating under government law,” Sargent said, “until today the rates of compensation are greater than the highest point of war wages, and our taxes are at the highest level in the history of the American railroad administration and are increasing by leaps and bounds each year.” ‘The subject of government confis- cation of the railroads thtough these practices, he said, demands “the ‘honest, fair and clear thinking of the business men of America.” -~ Federal Jobs Open For Trained Classes The United States Civil Service commission has announced open com- petitive examinations as follows: Junior scientist (nautical), $2,000 a year, hydrographic office, Navy department.

Loans due October 1 are secured by seed liens and are payable from first returns from the crop sold. Many loans already have been paid direct to the seed loan office at Grand Forks, McCain informed the other agents in the conference. A fine spirit of cooperation, is was reported, has been shown field men by grain buyers. county agents and bankers, many of whom were on committees recommending borrowers who needed this form of assistance and relief to enable them to put in crops last spring. Agent McCain said the borrowers, notwithstanding pressure of local creditors, are dis- posed to appreciate the federal serv- ice and propose to cover their loans as quickly as possible. ‘This spirit will serve a good purpose for the.borrowers, it’ is felt, as it puts the farmers and their communities into favorable relations with the fed- eral seed loan organization for ask- ing future loans, if such assistance should again be needed. It is feared that this need may arise next spring in some sections, McCain said. Surveys by the field agents of the seed loan office have revealed a wide range of production on the farms in the three states as- signed the agents in the conference here.

PLAN NEW EFFORT TO CONTROL RIVERS Attorney General's Ruling Against Power Commission Draws Opposition Washington, Oct. 2—(P)—New effort in congress to achieve more stringent federal control of water- power development was promised to- day as a result of an opinion by At- torney General Mitchell under which the power commission’s jurisdiction over tributaries to navigable streams would be sharply limited. Senator Brookhart, Republican, Towa, said he believed Mitchell's in- terpretation of the power act was in- correct, but regardless of this he pro- posed to seek an amendment to pre- vent the commission from waiving control over non-navigable tributaries of rivers which are government-con- trolled waterways. Brookhart said Senators Frasier and Nye, North Dakota Republicans, had agreed to join him in question- ing the commission-as to what policy it intended to adopt under the opin- fon.
