In support of his plan Mr.. Maxwell
points to the Atlanta situation as q
complete demonstration that the
remedy he proposes would be enec-
tive, that city having secured O..
substantial reduction in it's through
rates by reason of water rates to Sa-
vannah, in connection with low intra-
state rates fixed by the Georgia Rail-
road Commission to Atlanta. The
Joint made Is that the city of Atlanta.
is almost as far interior from Savan-
nah as Asheville from Wilmington
and similar conditions between the
two North Carolina cities to those ex-
listing in Georgia would be brought
about by means of water facilities,
with Wilmington as the distributing
point. MI. Maxwell thinks that the
only q the State is bottled up by
the railroads is because it is not using
it's facilities for water transportation.
The solution suggested by Mr..
Maxwell also anticipates subsidiary
boat lines to inland cities, especially
one to Baltimore via Norfolk as soon
as the Inland Waterway is completed.
Also, lines connecting Norfolk, Balti-
more and other important distributing
points along the Atlantic seaboard.
The plan, once put in operation,
would compel an adjustment of in
ter-state rates by the rate-making
authority at Washington and bring re-
lief I'm a general way. Anyway, the
suggestions are worthy of serious
consideration and it is not surpris-
ing to find the Wilmington Chamber
O commerce already at work on the
proposition. MI. Maxwell has given
much thought to the rate question and
few men in the State, if any, are more
capable of handling the subject. His
Wrightsville speech is full of meat and
we commend him for having the cour
age of his convictions and speaking
straight from the shoulder.

THE MAXWELL PLAN TO ADJUST
FREIGHT RATES.

Mr.. A. J.. Maxwell. clerk of the Cor
poration Commission. has several
times given evidence that he is a care
full and accurate thinker, and that after
has carefully reasoned out a propo-
sition he does not hesitate to present
IL, even if it is in conflict with current
thought. His discussion Of the
Freight Rate Situation in North Car
DINA" before the Merchants Associa-
ton at WrightsVille last week was of
this character. His line Of work has
made him a student of this problem
for the last three years and his analy-
sis Of our freight rate situation Is
that while there is great injustice to
the State in the excessively high scale
Of rates from the Virginia cities into
the State, which enters into all our
through business north. east and west,
that we have not up to this time Great
ed conditions in the State that will
Justify US in expecting the same rate
basis as the Virginia cities have,
my 01NAA6 0ONO4OPON III " II
from the port of Norfolk until their
direct lines to that port handle five
and six times as much tonnage per
mile of road as any Of our North Car
olina lines handle. His conclusions is
that II we ever expect to get anything
Rear the Virginia cities basis of
freight rates that we must create Like
conditions through development of
business to aad from eur own ports,
which T now practically unused for
general freight traffic. and that If we
will put on boat lines that will put
The same rates into Wilmington that
now obtain to Norfolk from Northe
markets we will have the whole sit
Hation practically within our own
control, and that we can drive vir-
,GfniA cities competition out of the
State. He thinks that It is relatively
a simple matter to do this.

Generous references to Mr.. Max
wells address by the press of the
State indicate that it was the feature
e the convention and made a distinct
hit. The suggestion Of providing wa
ter transportation between Whining
ton and northern points, as a solution
OF the freight rate problem, appears
to have struck q responsive chord.
His plan is the organization of a
steamship company Jointly, by the
business men and the State for the
purpose Of putting boat lines on and
handling freight in competition with
the railroads. The idea Is based on
the analysis of the rate situation in
North Crolina rs compared to condi-
tons that make possible lower rates
to Virginia cities. Mr.. Maxwell
argues that we cannot hope to get the
same freight rates as the Virginia
cities until the State places itself in a
position similar to that prevailing
cross the border, made possible by
the operation of boat lines between
Norfolk and the northern markets
He is convinced that this State has
the natural resources to create the
conditions pointed out and having
done SO the solution Of a perplexing
question will be easy. With the
goods in the State the Corporation
Commission would have the right to
fix the rates for transportation, in
stead Of being compelled to consult
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion about matters over which 1t
should have no control.
The scheme proposed by M maxwell
appears to be altogether feasible. If
the State and the business men, who
have been~so long complaining of rate
discrimination. s-ould unite in an en-
terprise of the kind suggested and
succeed in putting freight into Will
mington on a rate basis equal to that
on which the railrods and affiliated
toat lines put it into Norfolk, the
problem would be solved. The State
would then be master, instead Of the
railroads, and its rate-making power
a real asset in the protection Of the
North Carolina shipper and consum-
er Freight could be distributed from
Wilmington to all parts Of the State
on q rate basis fixed by representa-
ttves Of the people, instead of the
carriers who now show SO little SYM.

RULES FOR BABIES,
Mothers Milk Best, Says Infant We'll
fare Conference.

Albany, N. Y, June 13.-Here are
some of the rules laid down by the In
FAINT Welfare Conference for the care
of babies:
If you love baby nurse it, Mothers
milk is natures food and no other is
as good.
Nurse the baby until the tenth
month. Drink plenty of water but no
stimulants, such as coffee, tea or beer.
Nurse the baby regularly. Feed him
by the clock. Never allow the baby to
sleep at the breast at night.
When the baby cries between feed
ings give him pure warm water with
out anything in it.
Wean gradually by substituting a
bottle once a day.
Cows milk is the only good substi-
tute for mothers milk.
Be scrupulously clean about the
nursing bottles.
Never coax the baby to take more
than he wants. He cries because he
has Indigestion. Give him as much
boiled cool water as he will take be-
tween feelings.

TAXING IMPROVEMENTS.

Under the caption: IAN Interesting
Experiment" the Leavenworth Times
says:
Pittsburg and Scranton, Pa, have
been granted by the legislature of the
state the right to exempt from taxa
ton for a period of IA years half the
value of all real estate improvements
The expectation in these cities is that
this will stimulate improvements.
The experiment will be watched with
great interest. If it should result in
extraordinary improvements and in at
tracing industries that method OF
stimulating improvements is apt to
become very popular and to be reSorted
to in other cities.
There always did seem to be some
thing unjust in making the enterpris-
ing citizen who improved his property
pay increased taxes while the dead
one who stood still or went backward
got off easier. 1t appeared like the ac-
ton of a certain Leavenworth land
lord, who permitted his tenant to i'm
prove the property he uses and then
raised the rent because the property
had been made more valuable.
The action of Pittsburg and Scran-
ton can hardly be called an expert
ment. The system has been tried in
a number of cities in British Columbia
and has proved satisfactory to the last
degree.
Vancouver began by exempting Is
per cent of improvements from taxa
ton, later raised it to 80, then to 70
and at last reports was considering
making the exemption complete.
We learn slowly in this country. but
we learn in time and the plan of
placing a penalty in the form of taxa
ton on the man who improves his pro-
perty instead of the man who does not
must go sooner or later. But it seems
hard to break away from precedent.
Many of us are inclined to believe a
thing is right because it always has
existed.
It takes an immense amount of ar
gument and education to bring about
any reform but the seed sown by
Henry George may yet bear fruit even
on United States soil

Morocco Tribesmen.aC

Madrid, June 13.-The Spanish forces
in Morocco have met with serious mis-
fortunes. The old gunboat, General
Concha, with a crew of So went ashore
at Alhucemas in a fog. While she first
helpless on the rocks the little vessel

CLASSICAL DANCING.
Purifies Mind, Says Lady Constance
art-Richardson.

New York, June 13--Lady Constance
Stewart-R denied that her
aunt, the Duchess of Sutherland, is
opposed to her dancing n public and
declares that the duchess is in hearty
sympathy with the plans underway.
In an interview today at the Holland
House Lady Richardson said she would
give four dances in her coming ap-
pearance in vaudeville, the principal OF
which would be called THE Dance Be-
fore Dawn" She will wear a soft tunic
and will execute a Grecian classical
dance in bare feet.
Il am doing these dances" she said,
first, to earn needed money, and, sec
ondly, to show people that classical
dancing purifies the mind and tends to
strengthen and perfect the body.
1.-THE human body is the most mar
velous work of God, and it is a sin to
regard nakedness from a sex point OF
view. People have got to be re-educa-
their BODIES to the highest point of per-
lection in strength and beauty. False
modesty is idiotic and wicked. Chill
dren should not be taught to cover all
but face and hands.
"Corsets are brutal and stupid. They
mar a body; they torture a mind. A
loose flowing tunic showing the per-
feet lines of the form is charming, SAN
itary and decent. The stiff shirts and
collars that men wear are ridiculous.
They should go back to the early
robes"
Speaking of dances, she said:
THE tango dance and the turkey
trot are disgraceful because they de-
grade ideals. And yet If the trend of
thought during these dances could be
changed as I mean to change it,
dancers would be benefited by them.
The proximity of man to woman is
not wrong except as thought is degrad-
