CLOSE THEIR ARGUMENTS
ON FREIGHT RATES ISSUE
Eastern Railways and Shippers
Heard on Is Per Cent Increase.
Other Interests Next.

Eastern railways and shippers yester-
day submitted their final arguments on
the proposed Is per cent advance in
freight rates before the interstate COM
merce commission. The carriers of other
sections and other Interested parties Will
be heard tomorrow and Tuesday
The eastern carriers attorneys told
the commission that ample evidence OF
an emergency had been presented during
the hearings. due to increased costs of
fuel. supplies and equipment. as well as
to advanced costs of labor under the
Adamson law. The shippers representa-
tires declared that prophecies of the
railways had proved fallacious in the
past. and urged the commission not to
grant an increase in rates until a
thorough investigation of the bases of
the carriers expense forecasts for 1917
had been made.
THE railroads and munitions manu-
facturers are bound to prosper" said
Clifford Thorne Of counsel for the ma
tional shippers conference. The rail-
roads have shown here heavy estimates
of higher expenses, but have shown none
of the increase in. revenue. which may
be expected
Six years ago three prominent rail-
way presidents predicted the doom of
the carriers before this commission.
Three years later these same roads were
able to sell 10000, 900 worth Of securi-
ties. In 1914 the carriers again predict
ed disaster. but their interest rates have
gone down, showing the stability of
their securities. Which merely goes to
show that even a railroad president can
make mistake in prophecy

CHECK GRAIN PURCHASES
Desires Prompt Passage of Export
Restriction Measure to Keep
Foodstuffs From Germany.

Concerned over heavy purchases of
grain by neutral countries in American
markets. administration leaders will
urge on Congress prompt passage of
the export restriction measure
With no power to prevent it, govern
ment officials are watching representa-
tives of countries contiguous to Ger
many place heavy grain orders for
future delivery. Under the export re-
striction proposal the government could
limit and direct exports as it sees f1t
The government is determined that
no foodstuffs exported from the United
States shall reach Germany and feels
that when its measures restricting ex-
ports, giving power to control food
supplies and preventing trading with
the enemy are passed it can deal with
the situation.
Under the boarding clause of the food
bill. 1t is pointed out, the government
can prevent foreign countries from
holding heavy purchases in this coun-
try II necessary to prevent their ex-
port under the export limitation act.
The trading with the enemy bill. too,
would give the government power to
prevent shipments that might go to
Germany.

TAX UNCERTA|N7Y SERVES
TO DELAY LIBERTY LOAN
Men of Large Affairs Want to Know
Extent of Levy Before

| Considerable interest has been
aroused among senators and represent

by the Treasury Department yesterday
that the sum is yet nearly three
quarters of billion dollarA short
of the requisite total accentuated

the fact that but five business days re-

At the Capitol the cause most fire.
quently assigned for the limping of the

world over the terms and extent of the
new taxation to be imposed upon bust
ness. industry and incomes by the
pending war tax bill. Senators and
I representatives are hearing daily from
big business" to use an all-encom-
passing term, upon this subject. Per
sonal visits from such men at Henry c.
Frick and other men of affairs in the
past ten days have been followed by
conferences upon the situation
Statesmen on Capitol Hill are told
that the backwardness of heavy sub
scrfptfons to the loan is not due to dis
trust in the issue nor to unwillingness
to subscribe. but is attributed in large
men who deem it essential to know
what they are to be taxed by the war
revenue law before they lay out their
surplus or convert present holdings
into the bonds.
These men explain, il is i'd. that they
must be given some understanding as to
what tax is to be placed upon excess prof
its. upon corpora tons in which they are
interested and industries wherein their
money is invested. as well as the tax upon
incomes generally. Upon this they can
get no enlightenment at present.
They point out that the House passed
the bill admittedly in a raw and crude
state: that the Senate is trying to adj
just the new taxes to some kind of def
mite system possessing elements of equity
and equality of application and distribu-
ton. But who. they ask, can tell what will
be the outcome? Before buying the bonds
they want to know how much the gov
ernments new tax plan will leave them
with which to purchase the bonds
The tax-gatherer will present his bill
promptly, they contend, and it must be
met. If they have large sums tied up in
bonds they may be Inconvenience in
meeting the memorable demand of the col
lector of internal revenue.
Senators to whom representations have
been made as to the suggested reason will
exert their efforts in speeding up final
action on the war tax bill. and it is said
that the Senate finance committee is also
quite alive to the situation in this re-
spect.
