THE PLUMB PLAN The Plumb Plan, that the railroad men recently presented to Congress , jseems to us rather unreasonable and u ^ "impracticable, to say the least. The A proposition is for the government to -Iff buy all the railroads and turn them over to the engineers, the firemen, the conductors and other employees of J the roads. y Their proposition is disguised by v Jthe scheme to let the railroads when < fS purchased by the government be man. f aged by a committee in which the 1 present railroad employees would have large control and who would - share in the profits of the road. Senator Kellar, of Tennessee, speaking of this proposition ih Congress, said: "In my judgment the Plumb Plan tis unsound in principle and unjustifiable in policy. It would be class V- legislation of the most obvious type. It is undemocratic, socialistic, and anarchistic and un-American. it takes this particular class of property from all the people and gives it to a class only. Bolshevism takes private property from some of the people without payment and gives it to all of the people. This plan outBolshevists Bolshevism." ' -? Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, received a letter from a railroad worker asking him to support the r Plumb Plan. Replying to the- letter, he showed how ridiculous the proposal was, giving samples of its unfairness. One of the proposals was that whatever surplus was left after paying expenses, which of course, in^ fcluded the wages of the employes, should be divided among the employes and the government. But as there has been no surplus recently and is not likely to be under the Plumb Plan, nothing was said as to a deficit, which of course, would have to be borne by the government?in other words, by the people, who would be k taxed to pay the losses incurred by this new scheme of railroad management. Senator Smith summed up the proposition in this statement: "The Plumb Plan therefore requires all the people to pay for the properties, and one-eleventh of the people to handle the properties as they see fit, paying themselves what they see fit, and placing upon the balance of the people all the burden they wish through high rates of transportation. "This proposition is so unreasonable that its unfairness should be clear to the operators of the rail roads. It is worse than socialism. The socialist's plan is to have all the people own and all the people operas. at the industries for the benefit of all the people. The Plumb I'lan is to have all the people own the rail roads and one-eleventh of the people operate them for their own benefit and burden the balance of the people J*"-~ to any extent they see fit." THE WORLD MUST PAY In language characteristic of President's Wilson's utterances this extract from his address to Congress sums up briefly the results of the war and the necessity of more production in field and factory. The demand for our products at home and abroad was never so great as now. This is the President's statement: "The world must pay for the appalling destruction wrought by the Great War, and we are part of the We must nav our share. Cor five years now the industry of**all Europe has been slack and disordered. The normal crops have not been produced; the normal quantity of manufactured (foods has not been turned out. For the present it is manifest we must quicken, not slacken, our own production. "All will address themselves to the task of peace with tfle same devotion and the same stalwart preference for what is right that they displayed to the admiration of the whole world in the midst of war " WHAT. WILL HAPPEN TO THEM? Champ Clark, ex-speaker of the House, did some plain talking' in Congress the other day about the failure of the Republican Congress to do anything toward the reduction of the high cost of living. Among other things he said : "I am showing you what will hap. . pen to you. There will not be enough ? of you in the next Congress to de\ mand the ayes and noes unless you cut down the high cost of living and [ffc.V relieve millions of men, women and children .from starvation.

Senator W. J. Harris, of Georgia, fathered both bills and got them through the senate. In his investigations of the workings of the oil monopoly Mr. Harris discovered that while there are about a dozen different Standard Oil companies, they are all controlled by 16 people, who own 52 per cent of the stock. The object of the bills is to compell all the companies to sell at the same price in all parts of the country. Mr. Harris says it has beer customary for the Standard to reduce prices in localities where there is op. position, to kill off competition, ant raise the prices where they have th< field to themselves; thus making one state pay for the fight the concert is carrying on in another state. A< the South has always paid highei for its gas than most of the other sec tions .Mr. Harris' primary reason foi securing this legislation is to seeurt cheaper gasoline for this section.

The trail was taken up from McBee and was followed into the woods near Little Aligator Creek, in the vicinity of the Hump Oliver place.

A thirty-gallon copper still and worm were going fine. Seven barrels of mash ready for running and several quarts of the finished product were taken. There were evidences that considerable whiskey had been removed just pre vious to the raid. Johnson's prelimi- el nary hearing will be before Magistrate Graves, in whose jurisdiction g the still tvas located.

There Is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Q Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an In- w flawed condition of tho mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tubs Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It Is entlrely cloacd. Deafness Is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
