FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of |
COMMERCE.
SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRIATIONS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wreckage Of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. Ii
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign bot-z
tom would be unknown ON the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a.
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts Of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, Of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $1,000
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise leyies
toll of approximately $50,000000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer Of this ma
ton and this can be como by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can lie up
20 wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or Charge.
A free port is Progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessar! link in the chain
of transactions in commerce. which
has for centuries aid a heavy hand
upon commerce. TO movement is SO
heavily laden witt results or win
more widely and equally distribute
it's benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and ef-
fectively secured. ~

Cleveland, Nov 17.-Albert Henyei,
Hungarian labor leader and adviser,
charged yesterday by Louis Loebl, also
a Hungarian, and who is city immi.
grafton inspector, with having solici-
ted bribe Of $4,000 to end the muni-
tions strike Of Hungarian machinists

About September. the local oiYice

be good additional territory and was
asked in particular in regard to the
roads. Postmaster McCarty. and sey-
eral OF the other heads Of departments
at the office made trips over these
routes and through the different Sec
lions OF the country tapped by them
and gathered data, later making a re-
port to the department at Washington.
Now several of the lines have been
materially increased. Route No. has
been extended two or three miles
toward Bladensburg. and No, 2 about
the same distance toward Blakesburg.
Route No. has been extended ten
miles. Tom Funk, the carrier on No.
8. has had his salary increased from
1860 per year to $1,000. All nine OF
the routes out of the local office are
now standard routes and all are

COMPTROLLER OF
CURRENCY NEEDLESS

Washington, D. c., Nov. 1.-THE
federal reserve board had before 1t to-
day re commentator Of it's advisory
council that the office of comptroller
of the currency, which has direct SUI
pervision over the operation of all ma
tional banks, be abolished. A counter
proposal provides that member banks,
including national banks, hereafter De
examined exclusively by the boards s
examiners.
The action of the council is said to
have been based on the ground that
the comptroller's Office had been
made unnecessary by the establish
men, of the reserve system.
