ELEVATION CHARGE
MUST BE STOPPED
Grain Exchange Loses It's Fight to
Keep the Elevation Allowance
Plan in Vogue.
AWAIT THE FULL DECISION

Grain dealers OF Omaha and the
Grain Exchange are eagerly await
ing the arrival OF the full text Of the
order of the Interstate Commerce
commission, which orders the discon-
tinuanee OF the allowance by the
roads OF Il cent per bushel eleva-
ton charges on grain that is I'M
loaded in Omaha and reloaded into
other cars for further shipment.
Press dispatches have announced
that the commission has decided the
case against the Omaha Grain Ex-
change, which organization sought
TO uphold this practice.
The practice began as far back a.
1899. when roads leading into Omaha
paid the grain man X Of cent bushel
This was called an elevation allowance
or elevation charge. because when the
grain came In over one road II had to
be stored In an elevator before IL was
again loaded into the cars Of another
road 70 DO shipped out. Thus west
ern road terminating nj Omaha would
unload It's grain In Omaha
Later It was changed other roads
leading east. south or southwest from
Omaha would naturally compete for the
business OF hauling that grain out when
Il should be ready to 60 on 20 its final
destination. This competition led to the
practice OF tho roads hauling the grain
out offering to stand the elevation
rtaFgQa bas-o
and then the Interstate Commerce com
mission declared Z OF a cent TO be an
adequate charge.
Appeal 60 Com mission.
Some time ago the southbound roads.
led by the Missouri Pacific, attempted
70 cancel this charge on grain destined
p TO the southwest. They appealed 20 the
Interstate Commerce commission.
Tho Omaha Grain exchange. through
O. ID Sturtevant. chairman OF the trans-
portation committee. and I'D +. Smith.
attorney for the exchange, asked the
commission to suspend the cane ella ton.
pending an investigation. Tho investiga-
tion has been made. and the commission
has upheld the request Of the southern
roads.
The ruling affects the Omaha grain
dealers TO large extent particularly on
Rrain destined TO the south ind south
west. because this allowance which once
meant Thousands Of dollars TO them, will
no longer be permitted On the eastern
roads Il is still TO be permitted as the
local grain exchange understands the
meager report
The local grain exchange has opened
the cancellation of this allowance on the
southbound roads on the grounds that
Il was discriminatory within the meaning
Of the Sherman antitrust law.
The railroads defended the practice on
the ground that II was worth that much

might just as well have been left at home.

means to business mani Freedom from
complications so far as to the operation of
the car is concerned. Absence of worry
over possible break-downs. The luxury Of
owning and operating responsive, reliable,
speedy piece Of machinery that will take
him hundred or two hundred miles day,
or few miles through the parkways Of his
own city. A car that his wife or his child
can drive. A car that he is proud to be

ARE THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BANKS USELESS?

The chronic kicker wants to know
what use the Federal Reserve Banks
are, in view of the fact that the ma
tional banks of the United States are
now carrying about $500, 100000 OF
excess reserves and the state banks
and trust companies about $5OO,OOO,-
600 more. We make haste to answer:
The Federal Reserve Banks are OF no
more use just now that the newly
canned fruit is to the housewife in
these days of fresh melons, peaches,
pears and apples. The canned fruit
is simply dead weight on the shelves,
representing money tied up that
profits nobody; it will continue so
to be until the time of bleak days
and frosty nights, when gardens and
orchards take long vacation. Then
the canned fruit will be the house,
wife's chief resource. And so, when
the present wholly unnatural con-
junction of a war scare with ire
mendous inflow of money from food
exports comes to an end, when once
more the demand of American bust
ness crowds the available credit re-
sources of the nation, the Federal Re-
serve Bank will be worth 10 times
what it has cost to carry it through
the present period of congested cash,
for the banker will rest secure on the
solid fact that good commercial pa
per, thanks to the Federal Reserve
Bank, will be cash in the day of his
need st. Louis Republic.

ORGANIZING OUR FLYING
FORCES.

At the suggestion of Thomas A..
Edison, engineers, experts and con-
structors interested in aeronautics
have taken steps to organize their
forces. This is the first move made
in line with the governments new
policy. Though at first it amounts
to nothing more than taking account
of one small part of the national
resources. 1t is the more significant
because it is contrary to the usual
American practice of locking the
stable door only after the horse is
stolen.
In Washington until recently there.
has been disposition to regard avi-
alton as a science to be developed
solely by private enterprise. The
number of aeroplanes owned by the
government is ridiculously small.
From the niggardliness of congress
in this respect it might be supposed
that the air machine was still in the
first experimental stages or was fit
only for the showman's purposes.
1t has surprised observers how
rapidly an industry that our own
government has studiously neglected
has risen to importance under the
keen demand from abroad for it's
products. The export of aeroplanes
of late has shown what this country
is capable of doing should occasion
arise. That of trained aviators here
there is proportionate supply is
more than doubtful.
It has remained for a man of Mr..
,Edison's scientific foresight to point
the way to providing for possible
contingencies by simple cooperation.

ROOSEVELT is EXCITED.
Colonel Roosevelt's convenien

| Colonel Roosevelt's convenient as
sumption is that lot of misguided
ones in this country are about to in
sist that the United States shall re-
main unarmed in a world bristling
with ornaments. His general propo-
sition Is that SO long as war remains
a probability this country must be
prepared for it. To this principle it
is doubtful il one American citizen
will file formal dissent. Even Presi-
dent Wilson, who once spoke about
being too proud to fight'Iunder GER
tain circumstances, and Mr.. Bryan,
who probably will recognize himself
as the colonel's chief professional
pacifist," do not advise disbanding
our army or scrapping our navy. No
body has heard any public man de-
claring for peace at any price" or
any newspaper arguing for it. The
feeling of the large majority of the
public, it T.ay be confidently believ-
ed, is in favor of strengthening both
the army and navy.
The need for battle cruisers, scout
cruisers and submarines in the navy
is widely recognized. There is no
reason to doubt that it will be ac-
knowledged in the next naval appro-
priation bill. The emptiness of much
of Colonel Roosevelt's rhetoric was
disclosed when at the close OF a
strenuous plea for more adequate
army he voiced the opinion that we
should have permanent regular
army of 100000 men. This figure,
if recollection serves, is about what
that eminent pacifist, William How
ard Taft, recommends, while Presi-
dent Wilson's secretary OF war is call
ing for a somewhat larger standing
army. II circumstances next winter
are as they are today, it will be sur
prising if heavy vote is cast in con-
gress against bill to authorize a
regular army on the proportions sug-
gested by Colonel Roosevelt. The
proposal to extend or Improve our
militia reserve system frightens no
body. So long as we are maintain
ing military and naval establish
ments they should be maintained on
a practical basis as effective fighting
machines. There is virtually no de-
bate as to that-Sioux City Journal.
