young folks happy and the old folks
young. The great parade is on
Saturday morning at 10:30 o’clock.
First of all, a real wild animal cir

been imported from the world’s
greatest wild animal training quar

cluded in these displays will be
found lions, tigers, leopards, polar

chorus participate. As a fitting
finish to the all-feature perform

fectly schooled fox-hounds, will re
place the old time ..and very
dangerous chariot races usually to

“ENFORCED” RAIL MERGERS WILL
RETARD SOUTH’S DEVELOPMENT
•C
By St UALlttt, li * >
President Seaboard Air Line
The proposed “enforced" consoli
dation of ail the railroads of
the country into
!
South. The
J. Daws Warfield South has more
to lose under the adoption of any
such program, with its deadening
sfiect on initiative and incentive and
its “rigorous government super
vision,” than any other section of
he country.
Transportation is the king-bolt in
he machinery of commercial, in
lustrial, and agricultural activity.
The success of every city, every
wmmunity, rests on the adequacy of
ts transportation facilities, both by
ail and by water, if it has seaport
idvantagcs.
The South in the last few years
tas made considerable strides in the
itrengther.ing and enlargement of
ransportation. Our factories, mer
•aptile houses, banking institutions,
freat as they are, cannot hope to
luccessfully build further unless our
transportation facilities, both rail
tnd water, be jealously guarded.
Measures must be taken to pre
rent the advantages of our geo
[raphical position being taken from
is, which would sidetrack the
latural flow of traffic by gateways
hrough which the South is entitled
o have her position recognized. The
South must prevent any plan for the
tnforced consolidation with the
;onsequent contraction of facilities
rather than their extension—of all
he railroads.
You ean»ot treat lightly a change

I do not mean to say that many

Many are highly desirable, but they

methods that permit railroad officials
