HARRIsoN'S STATEMENT

In the case of all railroads except those in the south the request for amendment of the rules so as to per init a prompt general advance in rates was based primarily on the ground that the cost of labor. fuel, equipment and supplies had risen to unexpected levels and that taxes also were much higher than last year. President Har- rison of the Southern railroad, speak ing for the southern lines. declared the roads of his section were pros- porous and would continue to make money, even under present conditions, but that without an advance in rates they "could not grow" The prime need of southern railroads, he said, was capital and this could not be ob. tained with earning capacity under present conditions.
 B. F. Bush. cashier of the Missouri Pacific. told the commission that un- less there was a general advance in freight rates there was but one al- ternative-governme ownership.
 What the roads propose to do, rep resentatives of both the eastern and the western lines declared Is to fife supplemental tariffs to all existing rates, increasing them by given per centage. In this manner proceedings could be hastened and the roads would not face a burden of $300,000 to $400, 900 for printing new specific tariffs.
 It was admitted that in individual

THREE EXCEPTIONS

George Stuart Patterson in announc- ing that eastern lines would seek an increase of Is per cent. except bitu- minous coal, coke and ore. The in- creases sought on these commodities, he said, would be 10 cents per ton in the case of ore and coke, and from to l5 cents per ton in the case of coal. No reference was made to anthracite, and it was assumed that the 15 per cent increase of freight rates would apply to that commodity
 Some of the railroads. notably the Southern and Norfolk and Western, have found the increased coal cost so onerous that they have taken pre- liminary steps toward acquiring and operating their own mines. MT John son said that the Norfolk and West

There Is nothing which endangers
America so much today as our very
much abused farm tenant system. We
ought to have something in every
lease which will protect land and pro.
tect the people as well as posterity.
Year to year tenants who scratch a
little and move away, should be com.
PEELED to settle down and landlords
should be be compelled to make a
time rotation lease. 1t is easy to talk
about compelling this and compelling
that, but we mostly are a very sloppy
people whose motto Is "the easiest
way is the best"
If we let our soil run down, our
whole structure will fall. In order to
obtain a larger yield of grain, this soil
must be fed. The colleges and expert.
ment stations beyond the Mississippi
river are entirely too timid about
preaching soil conservation. In fact,
all Of us are rather prone to tell our
audience what we think they would
rather hear.

Dear Slr:-l am re-

out what is going on in Tabor.
You cannot imagine how valuable
the independent is SO far away
from home. We are getting used
to army life gradually, but the
first two weeks seemed a trifle
gloomy before we became accus-
toned to The new surroundings.
No doubt many in Tabor would
like to hear what the duties and
routine are. We get up ut 5 o.
clock and at 5:45 sta nj ~reveill, and
ut 6 O'Clock we breakfast then
clean up and be ready for the drills
Mt seven which last until 1l:45
when dinner is served. In The af-
'ternoon those turned for duty may
spend the remainder OF the day IS
they wish, but others who do not
advance in their drills must drill
two more hours. Once a week we
have a day off. The weather here
is fine and warm. We should like
to see more Tabor boys join the
colors and not wait until drafted,
because the drafted men will have
to serve Is months longer than
volunteers. Frank Halla is in the
hospital with chicken pox, but will
soon be well. We shall soon leave
for New York. With best wishes
TO all. Yours truly,
