WILSON SEES FIGURES
BY international News Service,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-The Inter
national News Service has authority
for the positive statement that the rail
roads arc TO be allowed to increase
their freight rates 5 per cent.
This IS true of the eastern lines be-
tween the Mississippi river and the
Atlantic coast and north of the Ohio
river.
a majority of the Interstate com
merce commission is convinced OF the
necessity of doing something" for
the roads The president has also
taken up the question and personally
analyzed the reports of railroad earn
ings and expenses.
One of the railroad experts Of the
government went to tie White house
this week with statistics. He found
President Wilson had worked out the
figures for himself and knew more
about them than the expert.
The president was deeply concerned
over the widespread report of poor
business in many industries. He re-
marked that railroads cannot order
adequate rails and steel cars unless
they earn the money TO pay for them,
With credit impaired they cannot Dor
row.
The decision as TO rates rests with
the interstate commerce commission,
They are not unanimous, but it has
been decided TO hasten the hearings and
the decision, and this in itself indicates
that the mmissioners are going to
"iet up on the railroads a little, for
the sake OF general prosperity, as one
of them expressed it.

that banks in the new system could
not employ former secretaries OF the
treasury. assistant secretaries, comp
trollers of the currency, or members Of
the federal reserve board for two
years after they severed their conncc-
ton with the government, Another
change gave the secretary OF the treas

earnings of regional banks to build up
the gold reserve. The salary of the
members OF the federal reserve board
was increased from $4,000 to $4,000,

Reason for Haste.

"It is now apparent, - declared Sena.
tor Bristow, tthat the haste enforced
for the consideration of this bill is not
only proposed TO quiet the financial
unrest in the country, but also to satisfy
the horde of hungry office seekers, who
have besieged the capital for the last
ten months. Opening up these positions
to partisanship would force the federal
reserve board to go into politics whether
il wanted to or not. -

BOY Was SHOT
AT VALLEY CITY

VALLEY CITY, Jan. 2-What might
have been a very serious accident &C.
Cured yesterday on the hills south of
town when Marley Olsby was shot
through the thigh by a rifle which the
older brother had been using or play
in& with. 1t seems that the boy who
is wounded, who is only 6 years of
age, was coasting with his brother Os-
car, who is s years old. The older boy
had secured a rifle and was carrying
it when the younger boy fell rom the
sled and the older lad stopped to as
sist him, and while doing So, laid the
gun on the ground. Another boy in
passing hit the rifle and it was dis
charged, the bullet passing through
the fleshy part OF the leg of Manley,
inficting a serious wound, although it
is not anticipated that there will be
any serious results from the gunshot.
The boy was Immediately taken to the
hospital where the wound was dressed
and the patient is now resting easily
and is on the road to recovery. The
boys are the sons of O H. Olsby.
