(Official City, State and County New UNITED OPPOSITION NEEDED Statements have been sent out from the east to the effect that the c. 's have modified their demand for increased freight rates, asking for a general increase of 5 per cent instead of 11 per cent. This may be true with respect to certain rates, but carriers’ application for grain rate in- creases from North Dakota has not been modtified or changed in any way. The new tariffs are already printed and dis- tributed, and will become effective August 10, 1925, unless suspended by the Interstate Commerce Comraission. These new tariffs propose increases as high as 21 per cent on wheat and 35 per cent on flax and millet seed. The western carriers’ application for a 20 per ceat increase in the rates on livestock has not been changed, nor, has their application for increased rates on lignite of about 40 per cent been changed or modified in any way. These matters are of tremendous importance to the carriers, and théy have re- tained the most skilled experts they can find to prosecute their case before the interstate commission. The people of North Dakota should not be lulled into a feeling that only a nominal rate increase is possible, but must / realize that the railroads are fighting for real anid substantial advances in rates, such as will increase North Dakota’s : freight bill twelve or fifteen million dollars a year—a million dollars a month —and this very thing is likely to happen unless the people present a united opposition to the carriers’ demands. HIGHWAYS Slowly but surely our ci are awakening to the fact that the job of building highways is no more like what it used to be than a dandelion is like an orchid. Motor transportation has become one of the biggest fac- tors in fnodern life. There are more than 15,000,000 auto- mobiles in America, and the number is growing by thousands daily. Pavements that will stand up under pounding that wasn’t even imagined 10 years ago are now necessary. What «city hasn’t had the experience of voting 10-year bonds to “pave a street and then seeing the street wear out in three “years, with seven years more paying to do? In addition, we might just as well realize that road widths | “that were adequate in the past are not adequate now. The automobiles are here to stay, and any city that fails to provide really adequate space for them to move around in is going to suffer badly. PLAYGROUNDS In one mid-western city the authorities need $250,000 at once to enlarge city playground facilities. But they ‘hesitate to ask it because the city’s expenses are high already, and they do want to economize. 5 But economizing at the expense of playgrounds isn’t the » wisest sort of economy, by a long shot. First of all, children have a right to play somewhere. We've built huge cities and cut thousands of youngsters off from the open fields and lanes and streams that all chil- ‘dren used to know, and it’s up to us to give them some- thing else. H Besides, there are plenty of statistics to show that play- grounds help to reduce juvenile delinquency. A city that #installs plenty of them will receive dividends later in de- creased lawlessness—and the Lord knows all of our cities * could stand a change like that! BASEBALL Once more the course of events has paused to deliver a healthy swat at those who declare baseball is slowly but ‘surely abdicating as our national game. More than 60,000 youngsters crowded a park in New . York to see two high school teams play. ; : At the same time, the Playground and Recreation Asso- ciation of America announces that there are 1171 baseball leagues in existence in 339 cities. Losing popularity? Doesn’t sound like it, does it? Somewhere today, on some weedy lot, is a freckled faced *kid with a ragged glove who twenty years from now will be ‘famous all over the country as a baseball player. Or, rather, Baseball won’t die. It is too good a game. THE OIL LEASES Senator Thomas J. Walsh is freely predicting that the higher courts will reverse Federal Judge Kennedy’s ruling “in the Teapot Dome case and will decide it in favor of the government. : = He declares the case is parallel to the Elk Hills: case, =which the government won, and that both should be decided “the same way. : oe : He may or may not be right in his prediction. But here’s *a thing to keep in mind: 3 ; = Both of these cases will come up for review by higher “courts, and neither case can be said to have been settled yet. 3So it might be well to reserve all comment about the “vic- “tory” of one side or the “exoneration” of another until the two decisions have been passed on finally. In spite of that iniquitous high tariff the five and ten. = cent stores seem to find plenty of imported articles to sell at athe same old price.

TWO POPULAR KING iS (Columbia Missourian) re two popular monarchs s. One of them is holding s the wheat belt and the other is getting ready to ascend the throne in the land of cotton. Missouri comes under the rule of both and will enjoy the yield of wheat ang! cotton to the extent of many thousands of dollars. While th ing = machines grind out gold the farmers of ‘Missouri and the rest of the wheat belt, the announcement comes from Washington that the crop of ear Will aydyroach a figure which ‘been equaled ‘but twice in histor: The wheat farmer seems assured of a season that will go a consid- erable distance toward making up the lean seasons. The abundant cotton crop on the other hand means incresser? wealth for the planters of the South, providing, of course, that nothing happens to cause a price reaction. The prices of both wheat cotton are controlled to a extent by world factors. Dawes agreement working with at least a degree of success, and Italy getting ready {6 fund her dovt, and with Europe in need of everything the United States can send ther, it seems that these two popular American kings — wheat and cotton—should help to create a wave of prosperity. ‘This will and give the farmers, employers and workers a generous taste of good | times.

New York, July 18—Why are peo- ple different when stopping at hotels than they are at home or at the homes of friends? Certainly their moral and ethical standards are dif- swing. Many a good flivver gets cussed by someone who doesn't understand it. Same is true of people. If you want to learn to ‘high dive, | fall in love first, so you won't care what happens. Men are so lucky. They never can tell when women are laughing at! them. The man who wears knickers without taking out any life insur- ance is neglecting his family. Wear an old suit on a picnic or it will be old before the picnic is over. body can sing when everybody is; singing. July ‘is the month in which even} loafing is a lot of trouble. Never try to trim your nails with a hatchet or kiss a girl with a cig- aret in her mouth. The best vacation is to pay your! bills and let your mind have a little} rest. 80 Some people overdo things Lots of beauty helps are crazy. They are like putting perfume on onions. Never try to brush your teeth with a broom or cut your hair with a lawn mower or let the boss know he amuses you. Don't worry too much if you get the wrong answers to your problems. Most answers are that way. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) | ATHOUGHT ! _— eee fcmeyem Let not him ‘that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off—I Kings 20:11.

Men and women who are most cir- cumspect in their behavior at home sometimes become mere hoodfums in a hotel. They pass through the halls late at night talking, laughing and making merry much to the annoyance of other guests who are trying to sleep. Some are surly and ill-man- nered in the dining rooms.

Where the legislature, in pro- viding for the valuation of a fran- chise, directs the application of a formula containing elements having no bearing upon the determination of the question of the value, and where, by the applicat'@. of such formula, inequalities necessarily result, as between cofporations, joint stock companies and associations enjoying like privileges, the law fails to se- cure the uniformity required by Article 29 of the Amendments to the state constitution. Where, as a result of the lication of an arbitrary and arti- ial standard in determining the value of a franchise as property for taxation, a corporation, joint stock company or association is deprived of exemptions from taxation upon a class of property which is exempt in the hands of individuals, those dis- criminated against are ‘denied the equal protection of the laws within the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. the book has been abandoned. Paris has long been the mecca for New Yorkers seeking divorces, at least for those who can afford the European trip. But it takes a long ;time to go to Paris, establish resi- dence and await. the decree. Now the divorce business is being trans- ferred to Panama. Several prominent New Yorkers have been divorced in Yucatan. One can get the business over within ten days after arrival there. It takes a few days longer at Panama, but it is a more pleasant place to visit. i There is just one topic of gossip jalong Broadway today. That is the separation of Gallagher and Shean, the comedians who achteved great Popularity through a song which someone else wrote for them and which enabled them to satirize all the current news of the day in silly little couplets. Now that the song which depended on their names has been worn threadbare they had nothing further to offer the public out of their combined talents.
