GOOD SHORT STORIES.

Tho Lost Road. BE- Richard Harding Davis. II.
lustrated By Wallace Morgan. Published b.
Charles scribper's Sons. New York.
Richard Harding Davis is essentially
a story teller Twenty-Five years ago few
American writers were more admired for
their skill in handling a short story.
While the present collection Of stories
lacks something of the vital interest that
used 10 charm MS In Gallagher. and
Other Stories" and Van Bibber." yet
II Is written In the authors best style,
and he has always q master style. HaY-
ing gained much valuable experience as Il
reporter for the New York newspapers,
he was one OF the first to make use OF
the. newspaper style in the literary field.
His short stories therefore, are wholly
lacking in the literary digressions so
much admired among The British novel
lists, He is direct. clear and forccful.
Although not endowed with a highly
poetic imagination and inclined too much
to a snobbsh point of view In writing
about nice people" he has invented
many clever and gripping stories. and
those who read the present volume will
spend some very pleasant hours.

ceased, that decline stopped. And now.
when we have finally given practically
full power to the commission, rates
start upward
This same commission held that
American railroads were the most
prosperous in the year 1910 of any
year in their entire history. There
was no general reduction In rates. To-
day, because of depression admittedly
not due to freight rates, but due to q
war on the other side Of the globe, the
railroads secure an advance. II rates
are kept on level during periods of
prosperity and are advanced during
periods of depression, we will face a
constantly ascending scale Of freight
rates. 1t is the same old familiar game
of "heads win and tails you lose"
After the present depression has

make general reduction, 1t would pay

COMMISSIONER THORNE OUTLINES
EFFECTS OF RAILROAD RATE DECISION

The commission has increased TINS
tax burden when the credit o. the
American railroads as class was ad-
mitted by the railroads own witnesses
to be better than that of companies en-
ga ged in any other line of business in
the United States-either telegraph
telephone. electric light, street railway
industry. public utility, manufactur-
ing or any other class of companies
engaged in any line of business IN TINS
whole nation. That fact is indisputaoie
and incontrovertable. 1t was admitted
by all parties to the case. The presi-
dents of the Pennsylvania ana the
Baltimore & Ohio were challenged 10
name any company in any line OF
business that was able to market us
securities at a better rate than they
and were unable to do So Mr.. Cham-
berlan. bond expert of New YORK
City, called by the bankers on hehaif
of the railroads during the last near
ing, frankly admitted that the credit
of eastern railroads as class was
better than that of companies in any
other line of business in the United
States.
Tax Burdens Increased.
The commission has increased this
tax burden at a time when the rail-
roads have been able to maintain their
properties better than ever before IN
their history Even during the past
year Of general depression their main
tenance allowance. according 70 their
own exhibit in this case, was ,ooo
greater than ever before. In the Unit
ed States as a whole the maintenance
allowance was $40 600 600 greater than
ever before In 1913 their mainten-
arce allowance in the nation as a
whole was more than s10o.o00,ooC
greater than for any other year in their
history.
The commission has increased this
tax burden on the basis of property in
vestment. which is nothing but boof
value. and Of which this commission
itself in 1903. in its annual report, al
page So. deliberately said: mo court
or commission or accountant nor gnan-
cial writer, would for moment cor
slider that the present balance shee'
statement purporting to give the cos
of property suggests even in remote
degree a reliable measure, either o.
money invested or of present value"
The commission has increased this
tax burden on the basis of a compari-
son which no recognized accountant ir
the United States would claim az
sound, because one of the chief wit.
nesses for the largest railroads in the
whole territory, conceded that the
method of compiling the property in
vestment changed during the year.
that were compared. This was Mr.
Bunting. comptroller Of the Pennsyl-
vania at page 1850 of the record.

CONVERT REFUSE INTO FOOD.
Owners of Canning Factories May Get
Bio Revenue From By-Products.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec 21-A representa-
tive of an eastern house making GER
tain machinery has been in the state
some time working among the owners
OF canning factories for a plan OF get
ting big revenue out of the by-pro-
ducts of canneries.
Iowa has more canning factories
than any other state in the middle
group and the proposal is interesting.
What is proposed is to make the
refuse from canning shops, more par
ticularly the cobs and stuff left over
from canning corn. into stock food,
1t is declared that this refuse can be
converted into a food worth SIS ton
BY so converting the refuse the cost
of the canned corn can be reduced 25
cents a case or more. Persons not at
all interested in canning are giving
encourase to the scheme on the
theory that anything that will he of
benefit to canneries in Iowa is good.
