Quite the most serious problem
before the administration and
the country at the present mo-
ment is that of the car shortage
now principally affecting the
northwest. The Interstate Com.
merce Commission is dealing
with the situation as well as it
can, but lacks the power to step
in and manage the property of
the railroads, it's functions being
limited to decisions as to the JUS
tice of railroad rates. In this
connection, however, there is a
very serious problem. The Pres
ident recognizes what the short
age of cars means to the whole
country and especially to the
northwest. He has therefore
seriously considered the step Of
vesting the Interstate Commerce
Commission not only with au-
thority for fixing railroad rates,
but also managing their prop
erty in case of public emergency.
A bill comforting this authority
upon the Commission in addition
to it's present regulating power
had been drawn by Judge Cowen
counsel for the Texas Cattle
Raisers Association, who had a
good deal to do with shaping the
present rate law. This bill is
now being considered by the
Commission with a view 10 re.
turning it to the President with
their opinion preparatory to his
submitting either this or a mod.
flied measure TO Congress.
This situation Is suspected in
a good many quarters but has
received no official confirmation
and a good many of the leaders
in Congress would give some.
thing TO know that it is actually
50. IL is so, but naturally the
Commission does not care to con.
firm the fact.
The pressing nature Of the car
shortage has been brought TO the
attention Of the President by
Senator HansbOrough and a mum.

and kilograms from the afiict~d
districts. kilograms have been
sent by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to the presidents Of
six Of the big tranScontinental
4 ads asking them 10 do all in
their power 10 break the freight
blockade and get fuel and pro.
visions to the communities that
are actually suffering for lack Of
them. Replies have been re-
C lived to all Of these messages
st ting that the condition is one
which arises every year, but
this year is a little more aggra-
waited in form. The railroad
presidents say that the situation
is not the fault of the roads, but
! of the communities which failed
to lay in supplies for the winter
b fore the present congestion Of
t attic became acute. They say,
also, that the shortage of cars is
not their fault, that they have
bought as many cars as the fac.
tories can turn out and in most
cases have more cars than the
! mileage of their roads Ear accom-
modate, and that they would be
glad to build more track and
anger terminal facilities, but
they cannot buy the material nor
hire the labor to do it. They say
they have the money but simply
cannot get the men and the
rails.
The other side to this story is
told by the Commission and
many suffering shippers. They
say that the railroads in fayoring
the big shippers allow them 10
turn the cars into warehouses
and sell coal, lumber and other
c,mmodities direct from the
cars standing on the side track,
roads which might do a large
through business with their own
rolling stock are afraid to let
their own cars pass beyond the
line of their own roads owing TO
the difficulty about getting them
back. They force the unloading
OF their cars at the terminals of
their own road and this takes
time and increases the freight
congestion from which the lines
are already suffering.
What the President wants the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to do is to establish a sort Of
a car clearing house and be able
to direct the movements and dis.
tribution Of the cars so that all
communities may be served.

rise passes the zero point on the CEN
tigrade scale-that is, the freezing point
of water. But a considerable change of
temperature in which the fluctuations
do not cross the zero line causes no
marked change in the flow of sap. DR..
*. NJ. Wiegand, discussing these and
other related facts in the American
Naturalist, reaches the conclusion that
neither expansion of gas in the wood
nor expansion of water nor expansion
of wood itself is the underlying cause
of the pressure which produces the
flow, but that this pressure arises from
the effects of temperature in altering
the Osmotic permeability of the pith
ray cells.
