No part of the increased rates is or account of the program of near- Iy a billion dollars of improvements, additions and new equipment this year, he explained. “It is hoped,” said the director general, “that all citizens affected di- 1cetly or indirectly by this increase will support the general principle of such increase as an unavoidable war measure and accept the additional burden in the same spirit of self- sacrifice in which they have accepted cther burdens, and the grievous per- scnal losses which are part of the rrice that the nation is patriotically paying for world liberty.” Mr. McAdoo called attention to the fact that “there is no way in which the present increases will inure to rrivate profit.” “If they turn out to be more than arc needed to meet the grave public he added, “they will readjusted so as to pre- vent any unnccessary burden upon the public; but, pending such read- justment, the excess, if any, will be for the benefit of the people of the United States ag a whole and not for the benefit of the private railroad owners oy any of them “To the extent that savings can be affected and to the extent that re duced prides for the things the rail- roads must buy can be realized, it will be the purpose of the director general to make from time to time appropriate reductions.” between year than exigency,” promptly be Cent a Mile For Soldiers. Exceptions to the three cent rate are made for soldiers and sailors, who may trave] at one cent a mile when on furlough at their own cxpense and for persons attending the national en- campment of the G.

Passenger fares hy water routes or by rail and water are to be increased proportionately with the higher rate charges, The basis for computing charges for excess baggage is to be one one-sixth of the normal passenger fare, with a minimum of 15 cents per hundred pounds and minimum collection of 2 cents per shipment. May Redeem Mileage Books. The director general provided fully for the redemption of tickets and mile- age books purchased before June 10 and rendered invalid after that date when the higher fares become effec- tive. Unused portions of milcage books and unused or partly used tickets will be redeemed at their ori- ginal purchase rate, The 25 per cent. increase in freight charges will apply generally to c and commodity rates, but minor v tions will be necessary in many case: For instance, wherc certain relation- ships exist between rival commercial centers, the 25 per cent. increase will apply to the longer distance and the rate to the nearer locality will be the same number of cents less, as under present schedules. In this way charges for many short hauls will be raised more than 25 per cent.

For coke, flat increases are cstah- lished as follows: 15 cents per net ton where present rate is 49 cents or less; 25 cents where rate is 50 to 99 cents; 40 cents where a rate is $1.00 9; 60 cents where rate is $2.00 75 cents where rate is $3.00 or more. For other commodities flat increases are made as follows: Director-General McAdao today tel- egraphed chairmen of state railroad commissions notifying them of the in- creased rates and asking them to co- operate hy suggesting readjustments or changes.

It cannot frame fair and work sble regulations in haste; and it must frame its reglations in haste if it is not to know its exact task until the very eve of its perfor- mance. The present tax laws are merred, moreover, by inequities hich ought to be remedied. Indi: putable facts, every one; and we can- not alter or blink at them. To state them is argument enough “And yet perhaps you will permit me to dwell for a moment upon the situation they disclose. Inormous leans freely spent in the stimulation of industries of almost cvery sort produce inflations and extravagances which presently make the whole eco- nomic structure questionable and in- secure, and the very basis of credit is cut away. Only fair, equitably distributed taxation of the widest in- crease indeed and drawing chiefly from the sources which would be likely to demoralize credit by their very abundance can prevent inflation and keep our industrial system free of speculation and waste. We shall raturally turn, therefore, T suppose, to war profits and incomes and lux- uries for the additional tas But the war profits and incomes upon which the increased taxes will be levied will be the profits and income of the calendar year 1918. It would be manifestly unfair to wait until the carly months of 1919 to say what they are.to be. It might be difficult, I should imagine, to run the mill with water that had already gone over the wheel. “Moreover, taxes not be paid until vear and the t them.

There can be no pause or in- termission. The great enterprise must, on the contrary, be pushed with greater and greater energy. The vol- ume of our might must steadily and rapidly be augmented until there can be no question of resisting it. If that is to be accomplished, gentlemen, noney must sustain it to the utmost. Our financial program must no more be left in doubt or suffered to lag than our ordnamce program or our ship program or our munitions pro- gram or our program for making mil- lions of men ready. These others are not programs, indeed, but mere plans upon paper, unless there is to be an unquestionable supply of money. “That is the situation, and it is the situation which creates the duty, no choice or preference of ours. There is only one way to meet that duty. We must meet it without selfishness or fear of consequences. Politics is ad- journed. The elections will go to the who think least of it; to those who o to the constituencies without explana- tions or excuses, with a plain record of duty faithfully and disinterestedly performed. I, for one, am always con- fident that the people of the country will give a just verdict upon the ice of the men who act for them when the facts are such that no man can disguise or conceal them. There is no danger of deceit now. An intense and pitiless light beats upon every man and every action in this tragic plot of war that is now upon the stage. If lobbyists hurry to Washington to at- tempt to turn what you do in the mat- ter of taxation to their protection or advantage, the light will beat also upon them. There is abundant fuel for the light in the records of the treasury with regard to profits of every sort. The profiteering that can- not be got at by the restraints of conscience and love of counry can be got at by taxation. There is such profiteering now and the information with regard to it is available and in- disputable. “T am advising you to act upon this matter of taxation now, gentlemen, not because I do not know that you can see and interpret the facts and the duty they impose just as well and with as clear a perception of the obliga- tions involved as I can but hecause there is a certain solemn satisfaction in sharing with you the responsibili- ties of such a time. The world never stood in such case before. Men never before had clear or so moving a vision of duty. I know that you will begrudge the work to be done here by us no more than the men begrudge us theirs who lie in the trenches and sally forth to their death. There is a stimulating comradeship knitting us all together. And this task to which I invite your immediate consider tion will be performed under favor able influences if we will look to what the country is thinking and expecting and care nothing at all for what is being said and believed in the lobbies of Washington hotels, where the at- mosphere scems to make it possible to believe what is believed nowhere clse “Have you not felt the spirit of the national rise and its thought become a single and common thought since these eventful days came in which we have been sending our boys to the other side?

Dr. Johnson received the honor of the ¥ourth Order of the Ris ing Sun from the Mikado. Dr. Johnson was the first mission- ary to be sent by the Methodist church to Japan when the church held its first campaign to raise money for foreign missions.
