We are dealing with Bt matters and will, I am sure, “with them greatly.” ® Washington, Jan. 4.—A bill was in- groduced today to provide for oper- , the railroad systems. ‘The bill is entitled ““A bill to pro- ide for operation of transportation Bystems while under federal control, s (the just compensation of their L ers and for other purposes.'” tion 1 provides that the presi- is authorized to agree with and WEreo to the roads that during the federal control th receive fjust compensation a income at n annual rate equivalent as n as may be to the road's average net rail- way operating income for the three | years ending June 30, 1917. This, the | bill officially calls the standard return. Thi ection provides that the net railway operating income is to be com- puted from returns to the Interstate | Commerce Commission excluding debits and credits, arising from the accounts which called in the monthly interstate commerce commis- i 1 p 0es on this Com 25¢ . ce on these Peas 20c—Sante-Fe Asparagus, ]arge size can 25c. sion “returns of rents and miscella- ¥ | neous rents.” No federal taxes in Feney{WSlwlmp ...... ................. 15¢ can B | excess of taxes assessed during the Large size can Clam Chowder ............ .. 23c can [§ | year ondi e (I, i G0 15 % ; o o | charsec he revente in com- Imported Pure Olive Oil. .. ..... $1.15 qt and 65c¢ pt. | puting the standara return.

Section 5 prohibits any carrier, | while under federal control, without the president’s prior approval, from declaring or paying any dividends in | excess of its rogular rate during the | three years ending June 30, 1917. This section stipulates, however, that the | railroads that have paid no regular di- | vidends, or no dividends during that | period, may with the president’s prior approval, pay dividends at whatever rate the president may determine. Section 6 appropriates $500,000,000, which, together with any funds avail- able from any excess earnings of the railroads, may be used by the pres dent “‘as a revolving fund” to pay ex penses of the' federal control on any | deficit of a railroad below the stand- {ard return and to provide terminals, improvements, engines, rolling stock and other necessary equipment. These terminals, improvements and equip- ment are to be used and accounted for | as the president may direct and to be disposed of may hereaf- ter provide. ident may also order,any road to make any additions and improvements. He may, from this revolving fund, advance to the road all or any part of the expense of the additions and improvements so ordered and constructed by the road or by * the government. These ad- vances are to be charged against the road and to bear interest at such a rate, and on such terms as the pres- {ident may determine so that the United States may be full Any loss claim to accrue to any road by reason of any of these additions or improvements may be determined by an agreement between the president and the road. Failing this agree- ment, the amount of the loss will be a ned under the terms provided in Section From the revolving fund the president may expend ever amount he may deem or desirable for purchase, construc- tion or utilization and operation of Dboats, barges, tugs or other trans- portation facilities on the inland and coastwise waterways, and may, acquisition, operation and use of these facilities, create or employ such agen- cies and enter into such contracts and agreements as he shall deem to be in the public interest what- necessary in the | 440 Main St. WHY NOT SAVE Selected EGGS Best Comp LARD Best Conn.
