INTERSTATE RATE
Of ; CENTS A
Mile IS UPHELD
I. G. G. Rules Against Com
missions of State Having
2-Cent Rate.

Washington, Aug. 19.-The inter
state railroad passenger fare of !
cents mile through Arkansas, Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma was upheld by
the interstate commerce commission
today, acting on complaints of the
public service commission of those
states which sought to have the TWO
cent intrastate rate made the basis
of through traffic charges.
The commission held that the differ
ent railroads did not voluntarily es-
tablish and do not voluntarily main
tain the intrastate passenger fare OF
two cents mile, and that basing in
terstate passenger fares in these
three states on the three-cent rate
was not unreasonable.
The commissions ruling is import
ant as the reduction sought would
have had a wide influence on pas
senger traffic rates generally. Six
states, Arkansas, Kansas, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma,
established two-cent rates in 1907,
and resulting litigation brought a
ruling from the supreme court that
nothing confscatory could be found
to justify the railroads complaint
In appealing to the interstate COM
merce commission the state commits
sions sought to show that reduce
ton of interstate rates would stimu-

support the contention that the two

ing from congressional districts
which would feel that they were
singled out to bear more of the bar
den than is equitable. Many articles
have been considered upon which ad-
ditional tax might be placed, but 10
decision has been reached.
'There is a surplus of $149,0O00, 900
in the treasury. OF this 100000, 900
is in national banks. Secretary Nc
Adoo has pledged $32,00O,00O for crop

ance of $67,0000,0OO. More than $152,-
100000 in customs receipts has been
cut off by the war. England may
open the sea ways whereby about
$5O,000,0OO would be recovered. That
would leave about $100O00,OO0, or
$S,000,O00 a month to be raised by
additional taxation.
War Will Last Year.
81 think this war will last at least
year. A war tax must be levied
to make up the deficit. In view of
the climbing high prices such a
measure will not be. accepted favora-
bly, by the people. 1t is not the ad-
ministration's object to agitate the
question as to what articles are TO
be taxed. 1t would not be wise to
add to the income tax. Therefore a
special tax is necessary. We must
do something Immediately aad with
the least possible friction. Congress
awaits anxiously the presidents mes

Mr.. Simmons declared the tax prob
lem delicate because of high prices.
"Under ordinary conditions" he
said, "a war tax would be met by
internal revenue with little difficulty.
This war is without and not within
the country. Many articles might
be taxed but it is a task to decide
which, considering the high cost of
necessities"
The house ways and means CON
mittee met with Mr.. Underwood this
afternoon to consider the tax, bat
nothing was givenout.

Wingotof Arkansas and embodied in

Southern financers. to be held Monr
day, will probably determine whether
the administration can step into the
breach land provide means to save
the cotton crop.
Currency Not Ready.
There is strong doubt at this mo-
ment that there is any way open to
the administration activities to do
more than is already offered in the
way of providing emergency currency
to finance any extraordinary situation.
The fact is that the federal reserve
system is not yet organized and will
hardly be in position to do bust
ness until late fall, while the cotton
exigencies are immediate, is regarded
as vtiatng all legislation in the new
currency law which might be applied
TO the situation at a later period. In
this situation, if no other way is
found. it is probable that congress
will willingly undertake to enact re-
lief legislation which has the endorse
ment of practical cotton men.
The Wingo plan proposes the issue
of federal reserve notes On the basis
of cotton warehouse receipts. AS
there will be no federal reserve notes
available for any purpose until the
federal reserve banking system IS in
full swing this suggestion as an i'm
mediate remedy fails. But it is pos
sible and probable if legislation is en-
acted that emergency currency VI
be substituted for federal reserve
notes in any legislation considered

Bankers Not Satisfied.
The matter of interest on rediscourt
is one point of controversy in the
Wingo BILL 1t provides a maximum
of per cent In many Southern
states banks will be unwilling to re-
discount at such rate, when they
have been accustomed to much larg-
err profits. This attitude has been
frankly expressed. Representative
Wingo is willing to raise the rate to
6 per cent. But even this may net
be regarded generally. as sufficient
profit for the financiers.

It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack OF sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up mixture Of Sage Tea and

beautiful, and thousands OF women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade OF hair
which Is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix.

a so cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell It has
been applied. Besides. it takes OF
dandrun, stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after q few
applications. it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives It an ap-
pearance of abundance.

IOWA BANKERS WILL HELP.

A novel plan IS being adopted BY
the Iowa Bankers association to help
stamping out hog cholera in this
state. Hog cholera last year cost
the farmers of Iowa sl5,00o.0o0, it is
estimated.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the establishment of a
plant at Ames to manufacture the
serum. The plant sold 100000 worth
the serum, but it could not supply
the demand and considerable worth
less serum was sold by outsiders.
The Ames plant has worked all it's
available funds into serum which it
has stored ready for use when the
demand comes. 1t can manufacture
no more because the fund for this
purpose has been exhausted.
1t is now proposed to have each
banker OF the state contribute from
500 to $500 for serum to be held in
storage for the bank. When the cpl
demic breaks out in any locality the
