FINANCIAL COMMENT

(Ey private wire to A. L. Masten & Coz
NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.-The railroads
won all they expected TO win yesterday
in getting the Interstate commerce COM
mission to reopen the freight cases.
That is the one thing they hoped for.
Rig men here were afraid the commits
sion might postpone the decision to re.
OPEN which would havo been taken as
Il bad sign. That mo administration
is squarely behind the roads is shown
by the statement of Controller OF thr
Currency Williams that roads must
have higher rates or lower prices for
materials. That the administration IS
worried about the long decline in stocks
Is also shown by Mr.. Williams state
ment that security prices are too low
and that instead Of selling at this level
10 buy government bonds people
should borrow on stocks and bonds.

THAT OTHER INVESTIGATION

Perhaps 1t is just as well that the
100000 appropriation to "investi-
gate" food prices was killed. Here
Is a statement made by Demo
cratic senator about the gasoline
investigation"
"Oyer year ago the federal
trade commission empowered con-
gress to investigate the question of
the price of gasoline, announced to
the country they were ready to sub
nit their revort. That statement
was published in every newspaper,
that they were ready then, a year
ago. to render their decision on the
question of gasoline. Immediately
the Independent oil producers from
every section of the country came
to Washington. The Standard Oil
Co. sent representative to Wash
ington a year ago and they have
been here off and on ever since. yet
to this day that commission has not
made its report"

POLLS OPEN 8 A. NJ. TO 6P. NJ.
HEREAFTER IN THIS CITY

The legislature has changed the
election law again. Formerly in
cities under commission govern
ment polls were open 7 a. m. 20
p. m. but general elections s a. Ia.
to p. m. Now the law has been
amended making it a. m. to p
M in cities of 1st and End class
when there is no ordinance other
wise(The commissioners may by
ordinance make it 6 a. m. to 6 p. m.
Abilenes call for election is pub
lished today and the polls will be
open a. m. to 6 p. m. 1t keeps
voters guessing ON the voting time
as the legislature has changed it at
every session for six years, causing
all sorts of confusion in newspaper
offices and among voters. 1t is hop
ed it will stand hitched for a while
and give people a chance to learn
what the law really is.

The appointment of Walter f.
Wilson of Washington county as
bank commissioner insures to the
Kansas state banks a competent
head for the next four years. Sena-

will fill the place with great credit.
Governor Capper did good job in
appointing him and bankers and
