HAY RATES ARE
TO Be REDUCED
Railroads Agree to Lower
Tariff from Salt and ella
River Valley Points If
Shippers Withdraw Com
plant Against Them.

Important reductions of the rates
on hay and straw from producing
points in the Salt and ella River
valleys to points in southern Ari-
IONA will go into effect August 16,
according to an announcement made
yesterday at the offices of the cor
poration commission. Other reduc-
tons from the Salt River Valley. to
points on the Santa Fe have been
proposed and will in all probability
be accepted by the farmers union in
the near future.
Under the new tariff, shippers in
the Salt and ella river valleys will
receive a reduction of from ten cents
to $12S per ton, and will be on an
equal footing so far as points on the
Ell Paso and Southwestern are con-
cerned. The new rates, together with
those now in effect are shown in
the following table:
Rates on hay and straw, including
bean straw.
Arizona republican., 1914-08-11

The proposed reductions on hay
and straw to points in northern Ari-
iona, which are practically agreed
upon by both the railroad company
and shippers in the Salt River valley
will mean a saving of $3.50 per ton
on hay to Flagstaff. with correspond
ing reductions to other points on the
Santa Fe. The rate to Albuquerque.
which is now 800 per ton, being an
interstate rate, is not affected by the
proposed reductions. The tariff from
Phoenix is as follows:

republicans seem to be to sacrifice
national prosperity to party advantage,
you cannot make progress against re-
viving trade conditions throughout the
country"
This was the answer of Representa-
tive Henry IT. Rainey of Illinois to the
torrent of republican calamity speeches
which poured forth in the house in
the days following the Claflin drygoods
failure. Mr.. Rainey served notice on
the republicans that henceforth 1--WE
propose to answer on the democratic
side such unpatriotic, almost treason
able prophecies of disaster as the gen.
tlemen on that side so frequently
make"
1t was an exciting moment in the
house. The republicans had been cap
italizing on the Claflin failure for
hours during a general debate. And
when Mr.. Rainey delivered his solemn
warning, the republican applause be-
came tumultuous.
The Illinois statesman first analyz-
ed the Claflin failure and showed that
1t was due to shifting of trade cel-
tiers in New York and to an EXTENSION
of business beyond the power of the
drygoods kings to finance it properly.
No democratic legislation was even re-
motely responsible for this disaster,
but on the other hand, declared Rain
ey, one piece of democratic legislation,
the new banking law, undoubtedly saw
ed the country from serious conse-
quences following this financial crash.
'In connection with the Claflin fail
ure," he said, two days ago there
came 10 us the news that throughout
the country from 5000 TO 5000 banks
held the paper of this concern, and
there is no talk about a bank panic or
any failing of securities throughout
the country-so strong is the conf
dence in the present administration
and in the fact that the federal reserve
law will soon be in operation. On &C
count of this great piece of construc-
tive legislation there will never be
another bank panic. And when the
trust bills become laws there will never
be another period of serious business
depression

REVIVING BASEBALL.

II the people of Rock Island really
want baseball they are to have a
chance to show It. Three years ago
the city, without a doubt, was baseball
tired" Many believe that it has had
a sufficient rest to start in anew, and,
like Cedar Rapids, Davenport and
some other cities which have come
back" be better than ever.
The people by their votes in pur-
chasing the Island City park to pre-
serve it for a public playground have,
many OF them, spoken for baseball. IN
doubtedly a large number had this in
mind when they supported the bond
lssue for the buying of the grounds.
This is a healthy indication from a
baseball standpoint.
Ned Egan, manager OF the Ottumwa
team which is to be placed here, is
one Of the best judges and trainers OF
baseball players in minor leagues, and
also has the reputation wherever
known of being one OF the squarest
and cleanest of men in the business.
II is fortunate that he is to be identi-
fed with the attempt to revive the ma
ionaI game here, for It virtually in
sures against obvious managerial mis-
takes which the average patron of the
game is quick 10 note and criticise.
Mr.. Egan's record as a manager shows
that he knows how to build up win
ming combinations IL he has reasonable
support, such as Rock Island has given
to its baseball teams in the past
OF course Mr.. Egan cannot expect
Rock Islanders to warm up to his
team and to the Central association
till they have had chance to see what
sort Of entertainment is being pro-
vided. He thinks Rock Island is a good
town, and he is showing his faith by
cutting loose from a contract which
is understood to protect him from per
? sonal loss and coming to Rock Island
at his own risk. He says he Will give
the public good baseball. and he is
willing TO accept the consequences if
he fails.
Under such circumstances he Is en-
titled at least TO a clear field in the
effort to make good.

CAPITAL Comment
BY CLYDE II. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District

Mr.. Rainey then contrasted the pres
ent business dullness with the terror
and panic of the republican hard times
of 1907. In that day, he said, not a
single democratic speech was heard n
the house attempting to make political
capital against the republicans. On
the contrary, he said, the democratic
speeches were patriotic, full of optim-
ism, and they did much to end the
condition of panic.
Rainey then recited a long list of
events which occurred Immediately
after the stock exchange panic of the
fall of 1907-hundreds of thousands of
idle men in New York, Chicago, and
other cities, immigrants appealing to
charity for transportation back to their
native lands. bread and race riots, sui
cides, prayers for work, mobs sacking
restaurants for food.
From this great panic, under the
wise guidance of the present demo
cratic administration, we are just re-
covering. 1t was brought about by
long periods OF legislative inactivity
in this country-inactivity here in this
body. All these problems which you
pushed forward Indefinitely into the
future, lacking either the executive or
legislative ability or the courage to
meet or to handle, came down to us,
and we are solving them all, every one
of them, Sinking no responsibility.
but placing the constructive legislation
upon the statute books of the country
demanded by the business conditions
of the present period.
THE amount of much needed legis-
lation we have placed on the statute
books has been equalled by no other
administration in this country in a
century of time. We propose to stay
here until the trust bills are enacted
into law. A discredited invisible gov
eminent cannot prevent this much
needed legislation. The dawn of a
new day has come"
The house has done its share to end
an army outrage which has existed for
20 years and more. 1t has passed Rep
resentative Gordon's bill repeating the
ancient law which gave army courts
martial Jurisdiction to try offenders
for fraudulent enlistment.
Under this law, Mr.. Gordon, who is
IIOLu oHlO, Chains InaC nunOreuS OF
boys have been sent to federal peni-
tentiaries, branded felons, and herded
with murderers and thieves, for the
heinous offense of making false state
ments in the affidavits submitted when
applying for enlistment in the army.
Some of these perjuries, Mr.. Gordon
declares, have been merely the out
come of over-zeal of patriotism ON the
part of minors who swore falsely that
they were 81 years of age.
In Civil war days this feat was ap-
plauded rather than condemned, and
many Civil war veteran today has as
his proudest boast that he was able to
fool the enlistment officer and ge1
into the army when under the legal
age. Today, for showing the same
zeal, boys are given stiff terms in the
penitentiary.
Too often, Mr.. Gordon insists. and
he has studied the matter, this law has
been used as a weapon by army Off

There are too many familiar ex-

RIVER TERMINALS

Need OF the Improvement of water
terminals is being impressed upon Mis-
sissippi river cities as a result of the
Inauguration of through freight traffic
by means of the Bernhard barges, the
first of which is now on its way north
from New Orleans with a cargo Of ! =
600 tons for delivery at points between
here and ST. Paul. Davenport is one
OF the cities which has taken time by
the forelock and already has made a
big stride in the development OF it's
facilities.
Quincy is being urged by the news
papers 10 take some action. The Jour
ral OF that city. after commenting up
on the opening of the barge line, says:
in this connection IL is neces-
sary TO point out the absolute heed
OF the river cities to improve their
terminal facilities. This is some
thing the Quincy freight bureau
has long been an advocate Of The
present facilities a. Quincy, for In
stance, are far too inadequate to
meet such conditions as a whole
sale revival OF river traffic. the in
itial step OF which has Just been
taken, will necessitate.
in the report of the Upper Mis-
sissippi Improvement association
plans are printed showing what
sort OF terminals should be in
stalled.
City terminals both for rail and
water transportation have such a
marked influence on a city's
growth and prosperity, that 10th

cations, which should be laid out
according TO correct plans and de
signs, and to profit. in the equip
