ARKANSAS FREIGHT
RATE SITUATION

w, b. Biddle, receiver and chief
traffic officer OF the Frisco makes
the following statement regarding
the Arkansas freight rate situation;
"The attitude of the Frisco rail-
road in connection with Arkansas
local freight rates has apparently
been so misunderstood tha. a state.
ment Of the facts seems necessary
in order that any person who is
interested or who believe in square
deal for everyone, including the
railroad, may reach an intelligent
conclusion as to the justice of our
position.
"Arkansas state freight rates
have been in litigation for nearly
eight years.
'The tariffs issued by the Arkan-
sas Railroad Commission have twice
been reviewed aud passed upon by
the United States court.
ain the FIRST case, the court held
that rates that the railroads were
permitted to charge under Com.
mission Freight Tariff No 8, taken
in connection with the passenger
rate then in force, did not give the
carriers reasonable compensation
for their service, and held that the
roads were entitled TO an increase
of 33l per cent IN their revenues.
"This decision Of the court was
followed by a conference between
the Commission and the railroads,
the result Of which was the so-called
court tariff.
while the court tariff only gave
the Frisco railroad an increase Of
lSi per cent in its freight revenues,
1t was accepted IN good faith as an
experiment, and with the intention
Of asking TOR a revision il the re.
suits were unsatisfactory.
This tariff remained in effect
until, following the decision Of the
Supreme court in the Minnesota
Rate Case, the Frisco road volunta.
rily reinstated Commission Tariff
No. 8, which had previously been
condemned by the court as affording
inadequate revenue to the carriers.
This section was taken so that pend
ing the hnal hearing of the Frlsco's
application for higher rates the
public might have the benefit Of the
low rates prescribed by the Arkan.
sas Commission.
"This tariff was agaip taken into
court and the decision rendered
early IN April, 1915, declared that
under the rates established by the
Commission, the business was
handled at an actual loss.
"This decision made it necessary
for the FRISCO railroad to prepare
and issue a new freight tariff, and
having IN mind the thought that
this gave us the opportunity TO sub
mt a tariff that would represent the
carriers views Of reasonable aud de-
fensible freight rates, a great deal
of thought was gwen to its prepara
ton; the responsible officials OF
some Of the other important Arkan'
sas lines were consulted and some
changes were made az their ougges
tIons.
"When the tariff was ready fol
Pocahontas star herald., 1915-08-20


publication, the Arkansas Commis-
sion was advised and a conference
was requested for the purpose OF
securing an expression from the
Commission as TO the figures shown
in the proposed new tariff.
"The conference was held and
the tariff as a whole was rejected by
the Con mission, without any
analysis being made. Theroupon
the new tariff was made effective by
the Frisco on legal notice.
"rhs voluntary tariff No. 2so6
issued by the Frisco was at once at
tackled by the Commission, and, up
on hearing, the court held that the
rates therein were unreasonable
wherever they were in excess of the
interstate rates than in effect into
or out Of the state Of Arkansas.
"The court did not say that the
revenue derived from the new tariff
was excessive, either as a whole or
as applied to the rates which were
higher than the interstate rates;
nor did the decision say that the
new rates were unreasonable IN and
Of themselves.
"a new tariff in line with the
order Of the court has been prepared
and became effective on July 90,
1915.
"In explanation of FRISCO tariff
No. 2s06, we wish to emphasize the
fact that it was intended to repre-
sent the views Of experienced and
responsible traffic men of fair and
defensible freight rates.
"Inasmuch as IT was 4 tariff
made by the railroad itself, the
rates shown therein could properly
be held to be the maxium rates that
the carriers felt that it should be
permitted to charge.
"The rates carried by other lines
IN the state of Arkansas are moi
voluntary rates; they are made by
the Arkansas Commission and are
protested by the roads; many of the
interstate rates into or out Of the
state Of Arkansas are not voluntary
rates; many Of the rates carried IN
the surrounding states are not vol
untary rates; so that in submitting
what was believed TO be a reason
able tariff, some Of these conditions
were ignored to a large extent.
"while the new tariff represented
their best judgment as to a reason
able basis of rates, the Frisco diC
not then and does not now holC
that every rate in this new tariff
was proper. They were prepared
TO discuss them with the commission
or with interested shippers anC
make any modification that could
be shown to be reasonable.
"They a'so realized that IN justic,
to shippers and producers, as wei
as their own interests, modification
in some of these rates would hav,
to be made to meet the competition
Of other lines.
"In the matter of joint rates will

"The FRISCO has never desired o
intended to discontinue making
Joint rates.
"They are ready to make then
today, but so long as a diiferen
basis Of rates prevails on differen
lines, it is difficult TO see how TIN
can be accomplished.

AIMS OF ANTI-sALooN LEAGUE
Resolutions Adopted at Atlantic City
 Have Wide Scope

In the resolutions adopted at the Anti saloon league convention at At Iantic City, recognition was given to the need of reaching the great foreign born population within the United States, to the need of educating our seven million industrial workers in the social worthlessness of the alco- hol industry, and to the constructive need of providing a substitute for the saloon.
 In these resolutions the Anti-Sa- loon League reaffirmed it's belief in the value of partisan activity in the warfare again the liquor traffic and protested against every effort to use the rapidly growing temperance sentiment of the nation for the furth- erance of personal ends. The con vention called upon congress to bar all intoxicating beverages from inter state commerce and to prohibit the use of the United States mails. not only in transporting intoxicating If- quors, but also in carrying liquor advertisements and periodicals con taining such advertisements into pro hibition territory in violation of state laws.
 The convention declared for the passage of a law to require all appli- cants for federal liquor tax receipts to state in their application that it is not unlawful to sell intoxicating liquors as beverage at the place named in their application. The con vention appealed to congress to make the District of Columbia and the ter ritOries of Hawaii, Alaska and Porto Rico dry by legislative enactment.
 Most important of all, in the view of the convention, an appeal was made to congress to bring the ques ton of national prohibition directly before the people of the nation by adopting a joint resolution submit ting a prohibitory constitutional amendment to the legislatures of the several states.-Harold T. Pulsifer in the Outlook.

THE MoNTEssoRI MOVEMENT

The Montessori movement, consid-
 cred by many a radical departure from
 traditional educational methods, is re
 viewed by Miss Anne F. George in the annual report of the U. s. commission
 CT of education recently issued. The
 method is summed up as Freedom for
 development of the child under best
 conditions, disturbing as little as pos sible but helping by every means this
 development"
 Dr. Montessori's particular cOntribu-
 ton to the world, according to Miss
 George, has been that of applying the
 methods of experimental science to the study of man. The Montessori "didac-
 tic material, it is explained, tends to
 replace the teacher at the earliest stage
 of education and to make it possible for the child to accomplish his first work independently of a mature mind. Out of such experiments and the environ r,ent that Dr. Montessori establishes" declares Miss George "sne corfidently l expects others to bring fresh facts, and to build up the content of scientific pedagogy through a method of re search, limited by no personality allied solely to human beings who develop in | liberty"
 As an instance of the specialization
 of sentiment and effort in connection
 with the MoEtessori movement, Miss | George describes the organization in May, 1913 at Washington. of the Mon | tessori Educational association, formed
 ito promote and develop in America the educational movement based on the | principles and theories of Dr. Montes- ! sori, and to assist in the establishment | and maintenance of schools for chil- ! dren, and schools of observation and practice conducted according to these principles" This association now num-
 bers approximately TOO members. This review of Miss Georges is the
 third publication issued recently by the
 U s. Bureau of Education on the Mon ! teSSori system. Within the past two years the bureau has published a bull | Ietin on Montessori's characteristic | teaching as set forth in her book (Bul- letin, 1912, No ID; and also a bulle- | tin containing a comparison between l the Montessori method and that of the
 kindergarten Bulletin, 1914, No. 2S).

STARTING OF PROTEST

Business Man Appalled, at It's Prob

\ protest of business men against the erection of a firenouse accord ing to the specifications. was sud dcnly started yesterday afternoon and before night, had acquired some mo- mentum- The principal mover was T. M. Burroughs who learned in a rather accidental way of the purpose to build a firehouse that would cost anywhere from SI2,00 to $1Z,00O.
 An intending contractor called upon him to secure SI500 to enable him to present certified check with his bid from which it is inferred that he in tended to bid xl5.O0e. Mir Burroughs had heard iu a general way of an i'm tcntion to build a new firehouse. but he had rot paid much attention to it. He asked to sec the specifications. and was amazed to learn after he had recovered from his astonishment at the probable cost of it that it was to De finished in hardwood birch,

and that it was to be furnished with folding beds at a cost of approx imately S9Q each.
 Thereupo9 Mir Burroughs prepared form of protest, calling attention to the fact that just at this time men engaged in private business are re- trenching and suggesting that the time was at hand for the city to fol- low their example.
 The protest Was signed by busi- ness men to whose attention Mir. Bur roughs called the purpose to build the firehouse. Speaking of the mat ter yesterday afternoon. MT.
