~~ N WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1923 INJURED MAN IS FOUND BY ROAD Unconscious Victim Taken to Hospital A man identified as William Putzler of Glen View was brought to the St. Francis hospital, Evanston, by county highway police, Saturday afternoon, suffering from a possible skull frac- ture, received as the result of a motor accident on Milwaukee avenue near Niles Center. The injured man was found lying unconscious by the roadside, with a bicycle near by. County police com- mandeered the auto of H. Dalporto, who resides at Ballard and Rand road, near Morton Grove, and rushed the in- jured man to Morton Grove, but fail- ing to find a doctor there, they con- tinued on to Niles Center.

It is thought by po- lice that he was hit by a speeding motorist and left lying along the road- side. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE HERE LAST JANUARY Next to the late President, Warren G. Harding, Calvin S. Coolidge is the most talked of man in the United States today. Wilmette and north shore residents were especially for- tunate in having had the opportunity to hear the new President speak in the village. As recently as last January, says W. Frank McClure, president of the Wilmette Sunday Evening club, Mr. Coolidge spoke in Wilmette under the auspices of that organization. The fact that he visited Wilmette and ad- dressed a Wilmette audience at a time when he was speaking very rare- ly takes, on new interest at this time when everyone is talking about the new President. A great crowd greeted Mr. Coolidge last January. Many shook hands with him and some of the younger people were successful in securing his auto- graph that evening, pe When the President visited Wil- mette to speak under the auspices of the Sunday Evening club he was ac- companiqd by his dearest friend, Frank W. Stearns, who is now men- tioned in the public prints as Pres- ident Coolidge's most intimate friend and chief adviser.

J. Cunningham, guest professor at the Northwestern sum- mer session from Harvard university, said last week. "The questions they asked were: 'Do you favor the repeal of the transportation act? Do you favor a lowering of the rates? Do you favor a decrease in wages for the rail worker ?' "Senator Johnson replied that he wanted the act repealed, that he wanted the rates for carrying low- ered, and that he wanted a substan- tial wage increase for the rail work- ers. Popular Paradox "Now how you are going to get higher wages for the rail worker and still reduce the rates is more than any economist can figure out. The roads in the northwest are making no money to speak of, less than two percent in fact, and the Supreme court has decreed that a Public Ser- vice corporation is entitled to a reas- onable return."

Of course the farmers who have put all their eggs in one basket, say wheat, are in hard straights just at present. But the roads which must lower their rates for the farmers are just the ones operating in that part of the country where the profits have been least, if there have been any. "The Interstate Commerce Com- mission is proposing to do just the opposite of what the anti-trust laws did in 1912. It is proposing consolida- tion of the 182 systems now existent into 18, 19 or 20 main branches. Not Like Groceries "Railroads are not like groceries. The weak sister in the store business may die out without hurting anyone but the victim, but every community | is in need of a common carrier, and consolidation will protect each com- munity. "However, 1 disagree with those who hold out a hope for reduction of rates through consolidation. The joining of the roads will make for greater efficiency, will increase the service and the traffic, but it will not J : : | farmer is having nowadays upon the cnt down the rates. These must go along at about the scale they would normally, for men worth good money must be kept in charge to keep the railroads running smoothly. In the railroad game there is a saturation point in bigness beyond which you cannot grow and continue to scale down the rates." A machine driven by Mrs. M. C.
