Railroads Must Stand by Themselves . not oc- - b&$? rTMIE conclusion that "in the public1 Interest the railroad Industry must rest upon Its own foundations Tind Its revenues must be so constructively regulated that the operations of the carriers will vproduce enough to pay fair wages, cost of materials, taxes, meet the fixed charges, pay a fair dividend and leave a margin to at-tract investors of new capital" Is an-nounced by the Joint congressional commission of agricultural Inquiry. This conclusion Is reached by the commission after a study of railroad management and financing, along with other conclusions and recommenda-tions as follows: That the Issue of tax-fre- e securi-ties and large expenditures for non-productive purposes by the federal, state and municipal governments be reduced to the smallest possible limits so that the taxes can be decreased and capital funds be allowed to Increase for the use at fair Interest rates by agriculture, Industry and the railroads, and thereby help promote essential In-dustries. That the railroads establish regional traffic executives and organize public relations departments to bring about closer contact und a better under standing between themselves and the public. That new money for railroad Im-provement should not be rulsed through constant government aid. That sound railroad finance requires that a larger part of the credit nec-essary for ,rallway construction he obtained by stock Issues Instead of by bond Issues. In reaching Its conclusion and In making Its recommendations, Chair-- , man Anderson said today the com-mission utilized this basis: "The railroads are not g and are therefore not on a sound credit basis. If this condition con-tinues. . transportation service will be crippled and the country will suffer accordingly." Golden Guineas, Hatched.

Then test time came and Grace, describing the miser's Joy with his gold pieces, wrote bravely: "That morning Silas was happy for he bad hatched n new brood of golden guineas to add to bis flock."

Mark Twain, It is well known, la-bored In his older years to repay the debts incurred by his publisher; but probably a great many persons, basing ttielr opinions on Twain's own Jests, supposed him to be rather happy-go-luck- y in smaller anu'rs. But he was not, shows Gumaliel Bradford in his sketch of Twalu la "Amerlcuu Por-traits." The most obvious Instance of bis rectitude, says Mr. Bradford, are in regard to money. In spite of his dreams und speculative vagaries, be was punctiliously scrupulous in financial relations, his strictness cul-minating In the vast effort of pa-tience and self-deni- necessary to puy off the debt of honor which fell upon Mm in his later years. But the nlce-nes- s of his conscience was not limited to broad obligations of this kind. "Mine was a trained Presbyterian conscience," Twain says, "and knew hut the one duty to hunt and harry its slave upon all pretexts and all occasions. I don't wish even to seem to do anything which can Invite sus-picion," he said, as to a matter so trivial as taking advantage In a game. Remarkable Indeed. "You see that stout old chap In the corner?" nsked Jones. "Yes. What about him?" replied Smith. "He's a wonderful acrobat." "Go (Hi ! lie looks like a stock brok-er." "So he Is." "But I thought you said he was an acrobat." "He's both. I nsked him yesterday whether he was busy, and be said: 'My boy, I Just ltnng on from day to day, keeping my nose above water by the skin of my teeth." Uncle Sam's Vast Army of Employees The War and Navy departments run a close race for third place. There are 61,483 civilians In the Navy and 01,242 In the War department. Uncle Sam also has 18.0S0 citizens looking after the Interests of farmers, umler the supervision of the Depart-ment of Agriculture. His war veterans get the next best attention, with 18,277 civilians In the veterans' bureau. Most of the 'male employees In this bureau ure former soldiers. - Irrigation and reclamation projects have 17,400 workers in the Interior de-partment. The nation's trade comes next In Importance, with 11,488 em-ployees In the Commerce department, while 5,55)8 employees handle the De-partment of Justice. The shipping board now hns 5,401 civilians on Its pay roll and the De-partment of Labor follows with 3.C83 employees.

With 58S.C18 civilians drawing pay checks twice a month, the government takes first rank as a employer. The number, however, shows n consider-able reduction over the pay roll Jlst of last year, when 643,833 were work-ing for Uncle Sam. More thnn half of his force works In the Post Office department. The to-tal Is 301,779, compared to 298,834 a year ago. The money handlers come next, with 67,492 men and women working In the Treasury department. This number shows a reduction of about 8,000. lans assisting ;ecretary nugnes in guiding the nation's ship of state.

" r--- H a Straightening Out Chaos in the Air RADIO chaos Is to be straightened radio telephone conference called some time ago by Secretary Hoover to help solve the present chaos In the air has rendered Its final report, upon which will be based the control legislation to be asked of congress. Under the final report a wave band of l.TO-27- 5 meter's Is assigned to ama-teur telegraphy and telephony and for technical training schools, the amateur having exclusive rights to 150-20-0 me-ters, while the truinlng schools must use 200-27- There Is also a restricted special wave of 310 meters for special amateur telegraphy. ' As the conference was designed pri-marily to recommend government con-trol, It suggests that Secretary Hoover be given authority over the establish-ment of till radio transmission stations except amateur, experimental and gov-ernment, and also the operation of non-governmental stations. These recom-mendations will be carried into legisla-tion through n bill drafted by Repre-sentative White of Maine. In addl'lon the conference passed resolutions declaring radio communica-tion a public titi;ity that should be controlled by the government and re mmcndlnx that "the type of rudlo apparatus most enective in reducing Interference should be made freely available to the public without restric-tion." "Point to point" comtunlcation, or communication between two fixed points Instead of general broadcasting, Is discouraged by the conference, which says this method of transmis-sion should not be used when other means are available, for Instance the land telephone and telegraph. Recommendations are made that the secretary of commerce assign to each radio telephone broadcasting station a power range of 600 land miles for government stations, 250 miles for public broadcasting stations, and fifty miles for private and toll broadcasting stations.
