STOPPING FREIGHT con-
GESTION.
(Boise, Idaho. Capital News)

(Boise, Idaho. Capital News.)
After months of serious freight
congestion in New York terminals.
the eastern railroads have been
brought together in cooperative
plan 10 remedy the situation. At
meeting OF the presidents OF the
eastern roads a committee was APP
pointed 10 investigate the situation
and TO disapprove or modify en-
bargoes. 1t Will have charge OF
demurrage, storage, embargoes and
other matters affecting the situation
and will be empowered 10 stop
shipments addressed TO them. The
railroad committee will have the
cooperation Of the interstate COM
merce commission. Commissioner
Clark is a member A notice has
already been served requiring rail-
roads TO file copies OF rules govern
ing the distribution Of cars. and or
the embargo notices in force.
The cooperation Of shippers and
consignees is asked in an effort TO
end a situation that has cost bust
ness men and the railroads many
thousands Of dollars. The move
ment of crops last fall was seriously
endangered by the lack of freight
cars caused by the congestion at
New York, and for time New York
faced a -four famine. At one time
i, 900 freight cars were estimated
10 be standing in New York city
terminals. Western roads alleged
that eastern roads were holding
their cars indefinitely under the
customary per dion rental privilege.
They also complained that shippers
were not unloading cars promptly
and that the better class OF cars
which could be used for shipment OF
grain or perishables were being in
Discriminatory utilized for transport
tation Of rough" freight
The committee may be able 10
work out plans that will put an
end TO such practices. There has
been a feeling that the railroads
and shippers Wee not working to-
gerher 10 remedy the situation. An
impartial committee working with
the shippers should be able 20 re-
leve the situation without doing in
justice 10 any. If successful il
might be made "a permanent organ
ization 10 mitigate constantly re-
curing congestion and consequent
car shortage.

about the Embarrassment to certain
Industries owing TO the difficulty OF
obtaining dyestuffs, and the serious
manner in which il has affected the
textile trade, but this, although an
important example Of the far-reach-
ing effects Of the war, is but one Of
the many ways in which it is max
ing itself felt in this country.
Even the cost of newspaper-mak-
ing has been greatly increased by
conditions that are directly due to
the European conflict. As COM
pared with two years ago. shortly
before the war began, the expense
of producing the journal upon which
these lines are printed has under
gone a sharp advance. Before the
war the cost OF printing The Repub-
lican was considerably less than it
is today. The same is true OF every
newspaper in the United States.
Steadily the price OF all the ma
terials that enter into the making
Of a newspaper has been advancing.
and the percentage of advance in
some cases has gone beyond any,
thing that might have been reason
ably expected, in view of the fact
that we are so far removed from
the scene Of conflict.
The advance in prices affects
stereotype metal, ink, matrix, paper
and the many other essentials that
are so important TO the production
Of a modern up-to-date newspaper,
and the increase extends 10 the
cost Of presses and other machinery.
In this connection the announce
ment of the well-knOwn press build
ers. Walter Scott & Co, in the cur
rent issue OF The Fourth Estate. is
Of interest. The firm states that "on
account Of the great increase in the
cost OF raw materials, and the large
advances in labor cost II finds II

vance OF 10 per cent over present
prices. and slightly more than this

ing effective the first Of the present

The Wood Newspaper Machinery

vance Of 10 per cent in the price

the increase necessary" These FOR

KANSAS AND NEBRASKA.

(hastlngS, NeO., Trlbune.)
One Of the best and most timely
cartoons published for some time
was the one by Spencer in the Oma-
ha WOrldHerald. under the cap
ton Of 1T Pays to Advertise"
The state of Kansas was depicted
as a man blowing his own horn and
beating bBass drum upon which
was written:
Look Out for Me"
Greatest per capita wealth"
Greatest per capita bank de-
posts"
Just paid off the last state bond"
1,14S savings depositors per 1OO,-
600 population"
IAN auto for every AZ families"
Look at my educational sys-
tent"
Il tell you I am the goods!"
Now, that all looked very well,
especially to a man up a tree who
would Immediately form the i'm
preston that Kansas was the best
state in the Union.
But, on the other half Of the
cartoon there was a man marked
Nebraska who was quite busy
saving wood. And on his wood
pile was a banner containing the
following:
per capita wealth, Kansas, So
652; Nebraska, S3,110."
Band deposits per capita, Kan
sas, $133; Nebraska, SPOIL"
Never had any bonded indebted
ness"

for education than any state In the

Has smaller percentage Of farm

That certainly ought to cause
Kansas to pull her horns in just a
little bit. And at the same time
it might be well 10 stick a pin in
