SLIP per hundred pounds when lower
rates are applicable to coast termin-
ais
Explaining its order, the commits
sion says: 1--WE have reached the fol-
lowing conclusions: I've should
authorize a certain degree of relief
from the requirements Of the long-and-
short haul clause on this traffic to
enable these carriers to more effec-
lively compete with the water lines.
but the rail carriers cannot expect, and
the commission should not authorize
such a degree of relief as will secure
to the rail lines the same percentage
Of the traffic to the terminals as they
enjoyed prior to the opening of the
canal.
"2-They can secure portion of
the traffic to the terminals on these
commodities by the establish nent Of
rates proposed and such rates will
afford some revenue il excess Of the
cut-0f-pocket cost involved.
"3-The carriers should. within rea-
sonable limits. be authorized to make
such rates to intermediate points in
the so-called back haul territory as
will induce the direct movement Of
freight to points from the territories
served by these lines.
"4-The proportion of the freight
hauled directly by the rail lines to the
various destinations in this back haul
territory should be greater than the
>Nrcpcrtion hauled to the terminals and
should increase as distance from the
coast terminals increases
"5-The rates to all the coast ter
minal points being practically the
same, and the situation at interme-
date points being practically the
same, and the situations at intermedi-
ate points being substantially similar
via all lines. the same method of con-
structing rates to intermediate points
should be followed by all lines.
when the rates to the coast cities
are lower than to intermediate points
because of controlling water conpeti-
ton, every inland point should take
rates higher than those to the port
cities, either by arbitraries varying
with distance from the nearest port
city or by proportions of the local
rates from such ports to destinations,

The Presidents Speech.

BY BOND r. GeuueS, Unlteu i0SS
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. May 17.-Voicing his
and the nations pride in the navy
and it's readiness to face and cope
with responsibility, President Wilson
today delivered patriotic address at
the civic banquet in his honor in con-
nection with the review of the Allan
tic fleet He stirred an audience OF
500 citizens and officers of the fleet
into wild tumult of applause.
"The interesting and inspiring thing
about America is that she asks moth
ing for herself except what she has
right to ask for humanity said the
president Eve want no nations prop
erty. We question no nations honor.
1--WE stand for that for which every
nation should wish to stand for.
When l think of the flag, the only
touch Of color about the fleet, It
seems to me l see alternate strips Of
parchment, on which are written
right and justice; strips Of blood split
for maintaining these rights, and In
the corner strip of blue serene.
.The mission OF America is the only
thing a sailor or soldier should think
about. He has nothing to do with
her policy He stands and waits to
do the thing which the nation de-
sires.
America sometimes seem to for
get her program or rather those who
represent her do, but the people never
forget. Their real affection and force
is for the ideals that men embody.
when a crisis comes in this coun-
try, it is as if you put your hands Oh
the pulse Of dynamo.
"This spirit now broods over the
river. No threat is lifted against
any man or nation. This is just evil
dence that the force of America is
lifted for a great moral purpose.
There is nothing else for which she
will contend .-..sl. Dr..
