WASHINGTON. oct. 30--"I am
going to propose a measure that will
require every hen in Iowa to lay an
egg every day: and when she fails 20
90 80, that the government shall
MAKE up 70 the owner OF that hen the
value OF the egg she did not lay. This
will enable the farmers to have more
money with which To buy machinery.
Ihis, IN turn, viii make the factories
keep buster; iJ viii keep money in
circulation. and make the crops big
ger and better. And why not tax
everybody for the benefit OF every
body else. and thereby make every
pOdy richer? How perfectly SPLEEN
did"
Thus spoke clifford Thorne. chair
man OF the Iowa state railway COM
mission. testifying before the inter
state commerce commission in the
five per cent case" where the east
ern railroads are again asking the
commission fer an Increase Of freight
rates.
IF It Is right for the government
20 shield the railroads from the eff
fects OF the war; il II is right for the
government tO make good the losses
Il the people IN industries. then IL is
right 20 tax everybody for every
body else's benefit" said Tho ~.le.
Proceeding with his more serious
argument. Mr.. Thorne said:
This is the third time American
railroads have sought 20 force a gem
eral advance in freight rates. In 1910
they claimed Il crisis existed. Instead
Of q crisis, the commission found that
TO be the most prosperous year in the
whole history of American railroads.
= the five per cent case hasing
their claim on the year 1913, the
claim OF a crisis was again made
continued Mr. ThOrne. and you con-
Guided that there Is no crisis in the
condition Of the railroads IN official
classification territory, taken as a
whole Now, for the third time the
railroads claim there is n crisis. To-
day they have some foundation for
upon which the carriers are replying
today, affects practically all Of US in
The same manner. It Is following a
period OF marked depression IN bust
ness for about q year, subsequent to
the Balkan wars, disturbances in Eu-
rope, and the short crops OF last year.
it is Just as hard for the manufac-
turer. the farmer. the labOrer, the
telephone company. or the beef trust
TO borrow money, as il IS for the rail-
roads 10 do so.
"The railroads are asking for sort
Of war tax: they are asking the gov
eminent to lift the burden of part
Of the community and shift IL over

Increase of Freight Rates

cotton, and the manufacturer who
mas been compelled TO close his shop
or reduce his force, they ask these
men 10 carry the burden Of the rail-
road, in addition 20 their own"
Mr.. Thorne is not without a plan
10 remedy the railroads troubles.
The carriers" he said, "claim the
present emergency will compel them
10 pay higher interest rate amount
ing TO one or one and a half per cent.
n substantial increase in interest
charges occurred in $500. 1904 and
the latter part OF 1907 OF not one
OF these occasions did the carriers ad-
vance freight rates. They met the
situation in another, and wiser man
ner. a policy that DEGREES higher
rates during periods Of depression.
and lower rates during periods Of
prosperity would be intolerable. You
would have q fuctuating scale Of
rates that would not be we'll for eth
er the public or the railroads. Fur
ther than that, the advances would
occur when the public could least af-
ford them. and the reductions would
come when the public needed them
the least.
The present emergency can be met
in either one Of two ways: First, by
the use OF accumulated surplus, or
second, by a slight reduction In divi-
dend rates The company that has
wisely husbanded a substantial sur
plus during the past 10 years of I'M
preCedented prosperity, can now meet
the situation easily by a resort TO its
accumulated surplus company
that has not exercised this precau-
ton, can reduce it's dividend rate
I'VE are concerned, primarily, with
the notes or funded debt maturing.
The carriers say this will amount TO
about $500, 100000 during the next
year. An increase of one and a half
per cent In the interest rate on this
sum equals S4.500,000. An average
reduction of one-half to one per cent
in the dividend rate of these same
carriers would equal $12,50O, 600,
which is more than double the
amount necessary. 1t would not be
asking much to have these carriers
share the burden of the present emer-
Cency to that extent. But such re-
auctions are only necessary for the
weaker lines. These carriers earned
enough in 1913 to pay all operating
expenses, all taxes, maintain their
properties better than ever before in
their history, pay all the interest on
their bonds and debts, and had
enough left over TO make a clean net
profit OF a little over eight per cent
on all the capital stock outstanding
ON June 80, 1914, the accumulated
surplus Of these eastern carriers was
$685., GOO, 900. The very purpose OF
allowing this large surplus TO develop
has been TO meet just such situation
as now confronts us"

HOW TO GET RID
OF GRAY HAIR

There IS no need OF anyone al
lowing their hair TO become gray.
faded or streaky. for it is a very
easy matter TO have the hair re-
tain its natural color.
Get a little old-fashioned sasa-
tan solution, Call druggists keep il
prepared, pat a little on a cloth.
sponge or soft hair brush, and
draw il through the hair, taking
one small strand at a time.
A few applications never fail 70
do the work, and the result Is sur
prising. All the gray hairs disap-
pear, and the lost color returns so
evenly and naturally that no one
can possibly tell you have used
anything.
