TROUBLES THAT DEVELOP
IN MAKING OF RATES

The attempts made by the interstate
commerce commission within the last
few weeks TO settle a few minor dis
putes among competing eastern ports
have again served to call attention to
the results achieved by that body. The
latest decision of the board has result
ed in a protest from Boston. The one
preceding this brought objections from
New York.
1t seems that in each case there were
complaints that the big ports were get
ting too much of the export trade, and
there was a Macedonian cry for help
The Macedonians received the aid they
craved. but the sum of dissatisfaction
has been increased rather than dimin-
ished. II is not at all certain that the
commission has succeeded in prOvid-
ing for the greatest good 10 the great
est number" even if only a purely math-
ematical basis is used in the calculation.
The failure of the board TO adjust
the difficulties. which are comparative
~ small, has not increased confidence
in it's ability to handle the rate question
throughout the United States. a com
mission that claims for itself the right
to regulate rates throughout the union
ought surely to be able TO fix up lit
tie matter affecting only four ports, -
says the New York Times.
Just what a commission would do in
a case where general north and south
routes were opposed TO east and west
trade channels is hard to forecast.
Such dispute is not beyond the bounds
Of possibility. Within the last few
years, for example, much of the Illinois
grain that formerly sought an outlet
for export only through Chicago and
New York has been turned toward the
gulf ports.
Chicago has felt the effects of this
new competition in only a slightly lesser
degree than New York And NOT only
Illinois products, but a big proportion
Of the yields from other corn belt
states have also been turned into the
newer route.
That this has resulted in profit 10 the
shippers of this section is easily under
stood. That it has cut into the revenues
of some middlemen is also a plain prop
.osition. Should the interstate com
merce commission with increased DOW
ers meet this situation in the form of
complaints from these middlemen its
probable action would be of vital i'm
pOrtance TO over half the country. The
suggested possibilities are not of d
kind to be lightly passed over.

Millions of the worlds best people

tifyiEg the skin, for cleansing the
scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruf,
and the stopping of falling hair, for
softening, whitening, and soothing
red, rough, and sore hands, for baby
rashes, itchings, and chafngs, for
annoying irritations, or too free or
offensive perspiration, for Lucrative
weaknesses, and many sanativc, anti
septic purposes which readily suggest
themselves to women, especially
mothers, as well as for all the pua,-
poses of the toilet, bath, and nursery.
Cuticura Soap combines delicate
emolllent properties derived from
Cuticura, the great skin cure, with
the purest of cleansing ingredients
and the most rcfres hing Of flower
colours. No other ruedicated soap
ever compounded is to be compared
with it for preserving, purifying, and
identifying the skin, scalp, hair, and
hands. No other foreign or domestic
toilet soap, however expensive, is TO
be compared with it for all the pur-
poses OF the toilet, bath, and nursery.
Thus il combines in one soap at one
