was shown that the House is strongly in favor of the Lewis plan of par cels express, which would involve the governments taking over of the ex- press business entirely, operating it as part of the parcels functions of the postoffice department, and en- forcing complete government monop- oly in the express business. This, of course, would drive the express com panies out of business entirely.
 Congress then compromised on thS milder parcels post plan as it was written into the postal appropriation bill,@ but its would not require much effort, it is declared here, to induce the House. at least, to pass a measure for taking over the whole express business. That would mean real fight for which, it is said, the ex- press companies at this time have no desire.
 But no matter what the decision of luc CApIcoS COIlpdAACo III 1OAOA OAASS to opposition to the commissioners findings, the latter is not worrying si:ould the express companies deter mine to carry the case to the courts the commission will be ready to sub- init facts to substantiate it's claims i that the rates suggested are reason abe The commission also is prepar- ed to show that the business of the express companies has been conduct. ed so closely that defense is impossl- bic SD far az method are conoerned

altogether too high and discrimina- tory, and, in general. indicated all arouhd dissatisfaction This hearing was held recently by the commission when attorneys for the express com panies argued against the reduction in the rates, but it is not expected that these. arguments will have much, weight with the commission, which has spent months in it's careful inves- -tigation of the question. Consequent ly, formal order is expected soon to be issued by the commission put ting the suggested rates into effect.
 The matter of chief interest now
 is whether the express companies will make a fight when the formal or der is issued and carry the case to the commerce court and in general make themselves troublesome. If they adopt the program of fighting then the war will be on. The com mission is in no frame of mind to be trifled with on this subject It IS intimated, and is determined to see the fight to the end before giving way on it's position.
 When the commission made It's re- port suggesting the reduction of the express rates, it did not have the weapon to fight it now has.
 Then. there was no Legislation creating the parcels post, but as mat ters stand at this time, the commls- lsion is in a position to make the ex- press companies treat with eminent respect, because the parcels post law gives to the commission an important part in determining the rates to DC adopted for the parcels post, whicf can he made the big weapon ot. as
 sault on the express companies.
 That the express companies VII
 content themselves with the forma
 protest filed against the rates at tn'
 recent hearign, is the helief or th'
 members of the commission. Ihe'
 hase this belief on the presumptlo' s that the railroads will not take
 hand and intervene in behalf or tn' express companies. Of course, 1T th'
 railroads insist. the express com
 panies will have to make the lisn'

ALL BIDS FOR LIGHT

Seventeen representatives of cleo

Friday to submit bids for the con-
struction of the Clarksville electric
light plant, says the Democrat. 1t
was supposed that so many bidders
being present there would be close
competition, but when the bids were
submitted to the electric light com
missioners, it was found that the bids
were just 5000 apart, $3,4O0 between
the highest and lowest of the II. The
electrical men had formed a pool and
had fixed it so each could get his
share. All the bids were rejected. 1t
was decided to change the specifca-
tons somewhat and new bids will be
received March /.
The bids submitted by the members
of the pool would have made the plant
cost about $4,000. The commission
ers received a private bid of $4,000
after the first bids were rejected, but

Mr.. Heney is from San Francisco,
and the larger part of his SO years
has been spent in walloping such
graft as he could get to. At one time
he was attorney general of Arizona
Next he went after some timber
frauds up in Oregon; and he landed

big game. Next he swooped down up

F. F. FREEMAN QUITS
RACE FOR CONGRESS
MER STATE SENATOR
LEAVES CLEAR FIELD TO,
J. c.. FLOYD.

Former State Senator F. F. Free
man of Rogers has announced his
withdrawal from the race for con-
gress in the Third district, leaving a
clear field to j. c.. Floyd of Yellville,
who is seeking reelection. In a card
published in the Rogers Democrat Mr..
Freeman says:
81 have decided to withdraw from
the race for congress in this district.
When | entered the race last summer
it was impossible to forsee the compE-
cations that have arisen in my bust
ness, and that large portion of my
time would be absorbed this winter in
looking after important details so
that the interests of my assoc ates,
as well as my own, might be protected
from loss. also found that it was
beyond my physical strength to carry
on during the recent unusually severe
winter weather the personal canvass
of the more remote portions of the
district that is absolutely necessary
for success in this campaign. l do not
underestimate the strength of my OPP
ponent and l realize that the handi-
caps that have arisen, and which still
in large degree prevail, would great
ly lessen my chances for winning at
the March primary. l am therefore
unwilling to burden my friends with
my candidacy or to undergo unneces-
sary expense myself.
SHOULD | decide to be a candidate
for congress two years from now, it
will only be after full assurance that
l can give my undivided time to the
campaign. l am truly gratified at the
many expressions of encouragement
and friendship that have come to me
from all parts of the district, and as
sure my friends that | shall, as a pri-
vate citizen, be found taking an &C
tive part in all movements having for
their object the upbuilding of our
state and county and the betterment
of all conditions that affect the people
of northwest Arkansas. That would
be my ambition as a congressman,
and that is my ambition now"

SPEAKS IN DEFENSE
OF COTTON EXCHANGES

N. T. Blackwell of Dallas, Tex, ed
itor of the Cotton and Cotton Oil
News, spoke to large crowd at the
courthouse last night in defense of the
great cotton exchanges of the coun-
try. He declared that the movement
to abolish dealing in cotton futures is
against the interests of the farmers,
and would greatly reduce the average
price of cotton. If it were not posi-
BILE, he said, for cotton buyers to
'shedge" their purchases by buying fu-
lures, trade in the commodity would
be seriously restricted. While he con-
demned the bucket shop, he said legiti-
mate future-buying was virtually a
form of insurance to cotton buyers
which should not be interfered with.
