Poor service is dear at ny price—insufficient service spells industrial stagnation. Tf industries are to grow and/ people prosper, transportation must be kept abreast of commerce. Rates must be such as to yield a fair return. Prompt movement of products to market is a transportation task of the first magnitude and an economic problem of vital concern to everybody. Tew people realize that rates can be too Jow as well as too high, and fewer still that the cheapest rate may in the end prove the dearest. If rates be so low as to discourage investors, compel under-maintenance and impairment of service, and leave no margin for improvement and enlargement of facilities; the loss to producers and shippers from inability to obtain cars, shrinkage and decay in transit, inability of the carrier to handle the business with promptitude, may easily exceed the freight charges., In no other country in the world is commerce so large, service so good and rates so low. Industrially we are forging head at tremendous pace facilities must be ever increasing: quantity and quality of servec are vital and rate adjustments for best interests of 21! must be so purposed as to sustain our transportation system in its fullest energy. nd quality of A Patriotic Democrat Homer 8. Cummings former Democratic national commit- teeman from Connecticut: who recently, resigned before a mass meeting at New Haven has very little use for senate irreconcil- ables on the world court question. He says: “They convert the senate chamber into a veritable clinic of political obsession and mental complexes. They cling with pestilential persistence to e husk of an idea from which long since all substance has de- rted. Led by Senator Borah, this little group stands between e United States and its great destiny. Who would not rather ke the unanimous judgment of Roosevelt and Taft and Wil- n and Harding and Coolidge and Root and Hughes than all e Borahs that can vex counsel and prostrate the activities a government? The senate irreconcilables, if they dared, jould tear the statute of the World Court to tatters and row the enactments in the face of the civilized world.” It is of record that the meeting at which Mr. € uve out his resignation of his national committeeship, was ymposed of Republicans and Democrats in about equal pro- ortion, but an audience of undoubted patriotism; for it at ce drafted and unanimously adopted resolutions in favor of 1e United States entering the world tribunal at the earliest ossible moment. The Revenue Bill In its printed form the new revenue bill provides tax re- uctions now estimated at $325,000,000 and changes many ad- ninistrative features, including revision of the sections con- erning the board of tax appeals, provision for appeal from he board direct to a federal circuit court of appeals and au- hority for the board to collect damages not exceeding $500 in ases where it believes proceedings have been instituted by a axpayer merely for purposes of delay. The new income tax rates would be made effective as of January 1, 1925, and other ‘hanges would be made effective on date of enactment of the ill, except those on many of the excise levies which would be- tome effective thirty days later, His Colored Sweetie Leonard Kip Rhinelander, member of a wealthy New York family, lost his annulment snit against his mulatto wife, Alice Beatrice Jones. The jury in its answers to questions submitted by the judge found that Mrs. inelander did not deceive her husband, either positively or negatively, as te her negro blood, that she did not conceal this fact to induce the plaintiff to marry her, and that he would have married her even had he known she was of negro blood. The trial of the case attracted nation-wide attention. The testimony brought out was at timex. putrid in character, The courts are not likely through with the mess, but there will be a recess while the case is carried up. It was a sad chapter in human deprayity and degeneracy that should never have been made public Hold Down Local Taxes fact for people to think about is es and debts were reduced several hun debts and taxes The most significant that while national ta dred million doll ars this year, state expenses the same year inereased by hundreds of millions. In m tes ax in many cities, a petty Tammany machine of sec class politicians is running things on the_old spoils system which is being fought by progressive executives who are in- jecting business policies: There can be no question but that the stronghold of tax-boosting, special-privilege and spoils pol- ities is in state administrations that have not adopted business methods, Reversing the Custom Recent denunciation of stag lines at society dances, from certain quarters, has proyoked a reply from a young bachelor Jeader in such functions. He explains the stag line is due to the debs and sub-debs, who demand that there be from three to four times as many men as girls at a dance. Also the post-de- butantes have on insatiable capacity for jazz In other words. the girls a ing to it that they do not becomé wall-flowers, as their mothers and grandmothers be- fore them were, but insist that there be plenty of men to pick from. Apparently the tables are turned A Worthy Effort The founder of the Big Brother movement Colonel Ermest ©, Coulter “It costs on un average of MOL to keep hoy n for a year, while it costs only $LL.61 a year to ep him out of a reformatory and saye him to the state. The Big Brothers is the most practical, efficient, economical and humane method of saying to good citizenship of a great army of coming citizens that has yet been undertaken.” With Reservations The Tlouston Post-Dispatch, down where the Ferguson tribe hes disturbed the serenity of public affairs, has a cure for all such afflictions as a woman governor with a husband. The Post-Dispatch’s idea is thus expressed: “Oh, it is possible that we might welcome a married wo- man as governor hereafter, But we must first have a law for a state allowance for her husband of $10,000 a year and require ape t * for a two-year trip around the world on inaugura jon ¢ says: reformatory World Topics “A generation ago our people were frightened by the term ‘combi- nation’ or ‘trust,’ "* remarked James J. Davis, secretary of labor in his annual report to congress. “The new commercial and economic con. ditions growing out of these first combinations were something to be rerlously consider- ed. Most of the protest that went! up against these new combinations came from the very people en. gaged in Perfluous {ndus- tries representing over-development. Now we see that fact more clear. ly. The combination tends to wipe out over-development and the waste- ful unproductive, Don't misunder- stand me; I do not advocate a move- ment toward: monopoly or ‘trus! such as were conceived in the mind: of protestants a few years ago; not a single control of factory in each Industry, but a cutting down of the number to a polnt where each estab- Ushment could, upon a competitive basis, operate at least approximately fifty weeks a year, “What {s needed is some system which will keep going only the coal mines and the manufacturing plants needed to produce what we need and can sell and needed to keep an adequate number of workers employ- ed for 300 days in the year, while the unnecessary mines and plants can be closed or kept in reserve. We Heed some system for scattering un- it should leave any industry free to where they are really needed in in- duatry yet to be developed. Every man hopes for the me thing. If this cannot be permitted under the existing laws,’then there must be a way of modifying them so as to per- mit {t without incurring any other more serious consequences. “For some time the Interstate commerce commission has been ad- yising the merging of our competing raflroad systems. It has been shown that the real need {s not to scale down freight rates but to reduce ad- ministrative expensee. Why not per- mit such combination and»stock con- trol as will cut out duplication of service and reduce overhead not only on the railroads but {n the mines and in every othér over-developed indus. try? “It should be made legal to do anything that cheapens production and stabilizes labor. The law should keep prices reasonable. After that it should leave an yindustry free to cheapen production and eliminate waste.” Lessons Taught In discuasing' the subject of farm loans and political experiments which attempt to furnish the farm- ers money at lower than standard rates or at public expense, E. D. Chassell, secretary of the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, has made some Interesting comparisons. He points out that two factors fix interest rates: one, being the time required for the transaction of the business for which the money is borrowed—the frequency of the turn over; two, the hazard of non- payment. With these two elements to consider, it {= easy to see that a reasonable rate of Interest on a farm loan in Illinois in 1875 was much higher than a reasonable rate on a farm loan in 1925. Joint stock and federal farm loan banks were developed in an attempt to correct temporarily unsatisfac- tory conditions In farming, They ‘were under the wing of the federal government and were given advan- tages in the way of tax-exempt bonds to finance themselves so they could loan money cheaper than pri- vate banks and inyestors, On the theory that they were omnipotent through tax-exemption and federal patronage, they made many loans which private Investors could not make on a business basis. It was lack of observance of the two fundamental business principles mentioned above which ‘caused seri- ous financial embarrassment for some of these banks. It only re- quired a few months of bitter ex- perience for them to discover that if they were to survive, they must abandon the Iden of being eleemosy- nary institutions. a, Being co-operative in character the federal land banks can carry a few’ small loans in hazardous terri- a loss, because the expense e paid by the earnings of the loans in low rate, safe terri- The joint stock banks must ke a profit for their stockholders or go out of business. But jn both Instances, regardless of their gov: ernment subsidies of tax-exempt ponds, they must follow sound busi- ness practices Or get into trouble. When appealing to the public in Justification of thelr tax-exemption privileges, banks tell about high interest rates that have been charged in some risky states, A comparison of the map of the United States with monthly report of loans made, will show that the large ma- jority of loans now made by these subsidized banks are in territory where insurance companies and pri- vate loaning companies haye in the past and do now make an equally low or better rate to borrowers. This is not an argument against the government furnishing assist- a to farming or any other indus- try in times of stress but the facts show that when the plans for such assistance are based upon the idea that government power and influ- ence can override economic laws and conditions, the project is elther bound to fall or be carried on at public expense so long as such policies prevall. A federal farm joan does not make poor farm security good, nor will {t enablo an incompetent or shiftiess farmer to repay the loan and inter: The same rule would apply in dustry or merchandising. The taxes lost through tax-exempt bonds which support these federal banks are made up by all taxpayers, In- cluding the farmers, These banks have simply illustrated that in the long run, private enterprise, {ndus- try and integrity ean furnish more satisfactory service than politically | subeaaes ventures into the fleld of private business, Che Casper Daily Cribune Reduces Expenses “Liberal use of advertising has contributed to make low rates pos- sible and has shortened by one-half the time necessary to attain the present stage of electrical develop- ment in the United States,” sa: W. H. Hodge, manager of the ad- yertising department of one’ of Chi- cago's largest and most important engineering corporations, “Collectively the. third largest in- dustry in the country, the utilities should be large advertisers. It is estimated that they are spending to- day an nmount equal to about one- half of 1 per cent of their gross revenue in this way. From 65 to 76 per cent of their total advertising expenditures are in the newspaper: “About one-third of the utility advertising dollar is spent for sell- ing appliances and is charged to sale price of merchandise. One-third goes for sale of securities on cus- tomer-ownership plan and is an in- vestment expense. One-third {s used to build up service output and ex- pinin the business and its affairs and is chargeable to operating ex- penses. This last third is equiva- lent to about 4 mills on average monthly bill for electric service and 1s so small it cannot possibly add to rates. “Advertising keeps down and re- duces rates by creating market value which in turn permits the economies of mass production and lower distribution expense.” peated erase The Christmas Spirit By JAMES CURTIS COMPTON, I once knew a fellow who thought himself smart, He thought he knew letters, he thought he knew art; He ofte would exclaim to himself as he read, “I knew I was right, ‘tis just as I said-’ His money was millions, his friends were quite few, Those who believed him would fade lke the dew He never was willing to help with a cent, Unless in return, what he spent. he'd get twice He passed by the hungry, he laugh- ed by the lame, He knew not of consicience, he knew not of shame; His aim was for money, his thoughts they were vile, At terror or horror, could emile, he calmly At last in the whirl of this thing we call life, He lost all he had in the struggle and strife; His family in need and himself in distress, He made out with little, he made out with less. When Christmas came ‘round with its sorrow and pain, He had not a penny to gladden its name; He thought of his past and !t gnaw- ed at his heart, He dropped all his letters—forgot all his art. When out of the nowhere came need: ed relief, It changed his religion, it changed his, belief; started anew with a thought of life, He learned how to live from the struggle and strife.
