There was originally no obligation on the part of the government to assure railroads | or any other enterprise a reasonable profit or any profit. That obligation arose when the gov- ernment undertook to limit rates that might be} collected in order that those rates might not be} too high. When the government exercises the} those who sat in judgment were also the prose-|whicl is vicious and hostile; there | cutors and the objects of. their attack were con-|are many indifferent to the spirit of power to prescribe rates that shall not be too high, it must assume the obligation to see that | they shall not be too low. This principle applies not only to transportation but to any line of in- dustry. Government regulation carries with it a two-fold and not a one-sided obligation. By act of congress and the interstate commerce commission the government has fixed a maxi-| mum reasonable return, the reasonableness of | which no one has ever sought to disprove. Some | people have sought to represent this as a “guar- | anteed” return, but the inaccuracy of such a/tion for president advocates a revision of the to appreciate the great privilege of descriptién is shown by the fact that the rail- roads have fallen about a billion dollars short) protective tariff policy. It is clear, therefore, | The dill equalizes: {t does not dis- of receiving the return prescribed as a maximum. | There is, therefore, no present basis for a de-| mand for rate reduction, although there may be, | as suggested by President Coolidge, reason for rate reconstruction which would provide lighter burdens for some lines of goods without dimin- | election of a’' Democratic president, or of a Dem-|brium,, which has been disturbed ishing the total return. This is a problem which | only. men skilled in transportation can under-| take to solve. The general principle of the right | of a regulated enterprise to receive a reasonable | return is so plain that no technical knowledge is necessary to comprehend it. A leading Democratic candidate for the presi-! dency has announced that if elected his first act will be to call a special session of congress to re duce freight rates. He has not yet taken the pub- lic into his confidence to the ent of telling on what basis he would have those rates fixed, or by what means he would determine the extent to which rates be red , or the avenues through which he would have transportation lines re the revenues necessary to 7 legitimate and necessary expenses. Since, however, he has deem ed it politically expedient to declare himself in favor of freight reductions for the benefit of farmers it is worth while to consider the extent | is very suggestive of the Lenine-Trotzky regime. forty-odd detectives are directed against men in public life. In that interview and also in his Philadelphia speech Mr. Vanderlip admitted that he is respon- sible for the employment of Mr. Francis Heney, who has been brought to Washin, Mr. Van- derlip states that Mr. Hency has elready “workcell up several cases” out of information Torniapety him by Mr, Vanderlip’s corps of detectives who haye been running around Wushington. Who are the witnesses which Mr. Vanderltp | has furnished the Wheeler committee? What is of that committee, answer In the words of an address he made in Chicago. They constituto “n motely procession of witnesses sta! drunks, dive keepers, dope fiénds, discharged federal employes, reformed bandits, people out | of a job, and any one with a grievance.” This is the sort of human scum which Mr. Vanderlip’s |, rignt to leg privately paid corps of detectives have dug up and presented to the senatorial committee for|who hold views tending to disturb which Mr. Vanderlip says his bureau is the|or defy order and law. recognized agency for gathering information. What are the cases worked up for these com- mittees? Slander, libel, hearsay evidence remoy- ed three or four times from the person directly concerned, witnesses testifying to “facts” which they claim they obtained from documents they admit they stole, the only fact brought out being | their admission of theft, men in public office charged with crime of all kinds and degrees upon statements of witnesses who admit the only basis of their accusations is alleged conversa- tions with people now dead. Mr. Vanderlip was very happy in saying that this is more like Moscow than Washington. It The methods used in Washington differ from those used by the bolsheviks only in degree. They are alike in kind. In order to obtain control in Russia, the Len- ine-Trotzky outfit held investigations of prac- tically every man in Rus who had any char- acter or property. At these investigations the} | dregs of society were the prosecuting witnesses—|similated and Americanized with the murderers, yodka drinkers, criminals of the bas- est character, wanton women. The prisons were emptied in order to furnish witnesses against those whom the bolsheviks desired to drive from | Russia or put to death and whose property es-|to absorb those who have come to pecially they coveted, Here the spy system flour- ished and those who engaged in it reported to their chief, not the truth, but what they were paid to report. Here cases were worked up. Here demned from the moment they were accused. Perhaps the explanation that conditions in Washington resemble those in Moscow may be that so many of the senators who are associated with Mr. Vanderlip in his “investigations” are |ndmirers of the Soviet government and some of |must be absorbed. the most conspicuous of them have been guests in Moscow of the Lenine-Trotzky regime. The Fate of Protective Tariff Every candidate for the Democratic nomina- tariff and the abandonment of the Republican that although the tariff may not be much dis- cussed during the campaign, yet it is a real issue | paid to report. Here cases were worked up. Here} as a decision upon the tariff question. The ocratic congress cannot be construed otherwise than as a declaration in favor of abandonment of the principle of protection of American in- dustry from injurious competition with the nu tions whose costs of production are lower than ours. That being true, there should be wide interest in the experience we have had with the Repub | lican tariff since its enactment in the latter part of September, 1922. Some very pertinent figures on this subject were given by Secretary Hughes in his recent address at New York. Let us glance at some of them: Up to the end of February, 1924, the latest date for which accurate statistics were available the new law had been in effect 17 months. Mr. of benefit, farmers might receive by that means. Hughes compared the trade statistics for those In rural districts it is represented that freight Zeduction will be for the benefit of the farmer. In city districts it is represented that the con- sumer will be the beneficiary of lower rates. Ex- perience would indicate that very likely a frieght rate reduction would be shared in part by mid- dlemen. A computation has shown that if rail- road rates in 1923 had been on the same basis as pre-war rates the reduction would have amounted to only one and three-tenths per cent of the total value of farm crops. If such a reduction were equally divided among farmers, middlemen and consuiners é¢ach would receive a benefit to the ex tent of less than one-half of one per cent of the value of the crops. It is scarcely conceivable that one-half of one per cent of the value of a crop stands between prosperity and adversity in agricultural industry. The more reasonable conclusion is that some- thing Wesides freight rates accounts for the un- fortunate situation in which some American farmers are now placed. Like Dear Old Moscow In an address before the City Club of Phila- delphia, Frank A. Vanderlip speaking of condi- tions in Washington, is quoted as saying, “W would seem to live in Moscow, not in Washing ton.” Mr. Vanderlip is certainly in a position to know whereof he speaks. 17 months with statistics for the last 17 months under the Democratic law. It would be impos- | sible to find a fairer basis of comparison. Dur- | ing the 17 months under the Democratic tariff w, our imports amounted to $3,761,322,000 while jin the 17 months under the Republican tariff the | imports aggregated $5,353,186,000, an increase of | 42 per cent. In the 17 months of the | tariff law our exports amounted to 000 | while under the Republican law they amounted to $6,025,162,000, an increase of 12 per cent. | Those figurea are of great significance even when taken by themselves alone, but they are of much more importance when read in the light of doleful prophecies made by Democratic leaders while the Republican tariff bill was under dis- cussion. One after another Democratic leaders in congress and Democratic editors throughout the country warned the people that if the Re- | publican tariff law should be enacted it would cut off imports and thus destroy our export trade. The argument was that we would pre- yent other nations from selling to us, wherefore they could not buy from us. But the law did noth- ing of the kind. Imports increased, due to active business in the United States under the encour agement of that confidence which a Republican admnistration brings to industry. We did not increase our exports in corresponding degree chiefly because war-torn Europe was slowly | getting back to industrial activity and supplying her own needa, with something to sell abroad in | competition with us.

PRESCOTT, Director of the Department of Biology and Public Health at the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, has just completed a three years’ Scientific Coffee Research. : The results of this investigation are especially interest- ing because various suggestive inferences regarding the wholesomeness of Coffee have been circulated for years and have been allowed to go unchallenged simply because no thorough scientific investigation of Coffee had ever been made, It’s different now, because the three years’ research has established, by definite scientific method, the fact that Coffee e is a safe and desirable beverage for the overwhelming ma- jority of adults. Here’s what Professor Prescott says— “I will say. that neither in the dispassionate study of the vast literature on the subject, much of which is medical lit- erature, nor as a result of our long-continued studies, have we been forced, as scientific men, to any conviction that well- made Coffee is harmful to the great mass of consumers and, as such, dangerous to public health and welfare. On the contrary, the more deeply we have gone into this matter, the more we have read, the more we have looked up this litera- ture in different languages, the more firmly fixed has become the belief (in fact, I might say it is a belief so strong that it is a conviction) that for the overwhelming majority of adults Coffee is a safe and desirable beverage.” Here is the truth! And coming from such an unquestioned authority, it adds scientific corroboration to the public's own judgment, as expressed by the ever-increasing popularity of Coffee, The Universal Drink, For Better Coffee Every Day, Follow These Rules 1—See that the Coffee ts not ground too coarse. 2—Allow at least e tablespoonful of ground Coffee to = exp ter bolls, Then pour {t over the freshly 4—Berve at once. 5—Never use ground Coffee « second time, 6—Seour the Coffees pot Ask your dealer or writh direct to us for a copy of the "For Better Coffee,” which explains theas rules in detail, Trade Publicity Committee, 64 Water Street, New York.
