The Memphis Rate Case
By G. E. Williams.

and constitute a part of the cost, just the same as the cost of sales. operat- ing, insurance, and all fixed charges. Following this line of reasoning it must necessarily follow that to give the Arkansas consumer better op- portunity and bring him closer in touch with the Memphis market everything almost that he eats, wears, or uses must cost him more money. I imagine he would much prefer the "old plan" and not be quite so close to Memphis He would rather be de nied the Opportunities" offered him by the Memphis competition since it apparently is going to be quite an ex- pensiye luxury.
 The Memphis interests have simply worked an additional hardship on the Arkansas people-trying to take ad- vantage of the Arkansas jobber and enrich themselves. Whether or not the Arkansas merchant and jobber re- sent this is a matter to be seen, but in. my opinion Memphis has not heard the last of the proposition. The job Der and manufacturer are not hurt to any great extent, but unquestiona- bly, the larger part of this burden, as previously stated, will fall on the re- tail merchant and the consumer.
 We are further concerned in this de cision to the extent that it may have the effect of broadening the Little Rock territory. If it does, then the Little Rock interests should go over to the abutment of the six million dol lar bridge extending from Arkansas to Memphis and tell them how grate- ful they feel for the able assistance they have rendered in this respect, but don't forget to tell them that the retail merchant and consumer in Ar kansas do not like what the Mem phis iobber has done to them. While Memphis was successful in a few in- stances in reducing her rates to va rious points in Arkansas, she has pay ed the way for higher scale of rates applying between points wholly with in the state of Arkansas, and this is where the injury has been done the Arkansas producer, consumer and merchant. Compare your Memphis business with your Arkansas and this will reflect the true effect of the Mem phis rate case as it directly effects you.
 For comparative purposes I quote the following:

STRAWBERRY BLOOM IS

trust to good luck and individual eff forts to take care of their rate situa- tion, but to take the initiative and make an attempt to adjust all of our freight rates to a reasonable and sound basis. It is a big proposition and one that no one man is going to be able to grasp in a few months time, but one that offers a field for lots of work, and there exists a situa- ton that can be materially bAttered; but it's going to take time, money, and an experienced rate maa and inter. state commerce attorney with some knowledge of the situation to do it. This does not concern Little Rock alone, but is of equal importance to other jobbers and manufacturers, no matter where they are located in the state.

A more exhaustive and careful search of the rates in effect, by this as well as other lines, would perhaps show number of discrepancies such as shown above, but this illustration goes to bear out what have said in other articles and that is that some of our rates need adjusting; however, don't gain the impression that they are all wrong. Our carriers have real ly been charitable in some instances but charity is very poor founda- tion for a rate structure
 We have learned one thing from Memphis, and that is that in all her rate litigation the man in charge of the traffic bureau has had the undi- yided and untiring support of her bus mess men, both morally and finan. cially. and it is time the Arkansas jobbers and manufacturers ceased to

Originally the Memphis interests sought to broaden their territory by a readjustment of their rates into Ar kansas and were no doubt of the opinion that the Interstate Commerce Commission would in all events re- move the alleged discrimination by a reduction of their rates, but instead they found that the rates as whole applying between Memphis and Ar kansas were reasonable and prescrib- ed maximum rates to apply in the fu- ture. on a mileage basis which they had previously found to be reasonable, preserving certain differential un- der the St Louis basis, amounting to 21c at Crossett and soc at Little Rock The adjustment cannot at the most enlarge Memphis territory in Arkansas they will simply cause the Arkansas jobber, merchant, producer and consumer to pay higher rates than they prevo6sly did, which ulti- mately is mostly borne by the con sumer
 The Commission with respect to this found:
 "It is undispuated that complain ant sat Memphis are actively compet- ing with the shippers located at Ar kansas points, and that in many in stances the Memphis dealer has been driven away from the Arkansas mar ket by the competition of the mer chants and shippers of that state. The Memphis shippers being excluded from Arkansas on account of these state-made rates, Arkansas shippers and merchants are unduly preferred, while the Arkansas consumer is cut off from the competing Memphis mar ket'
 It is evident that the Commission and myself have reached a different conclusion based upon the same state ment of facts The Memphis rates, mind you, as a whole were found req sonable and the Arkansas state rates were such as to constitute a discrimi- nation against Memphis. The Mem phis jobbers then as a whole have no better rates to Arkansas than before and therefore cannot reasonably de- liver their merchandise in Arkansas cheaper than before; however, any in- crease in the Arkansas state rates will certainly mean a corresponding ad- vance in the cost of the merchandise transportation, charges enter into

GOODBYE TO THE SALOONS.

GOODBYE TO THE SALOONS. (To the tune of MolIie Gray) Twas nineteen hundred and sixteen November the seventh day, That we told all saloons to leave Ar kansas, The saloon men were defeated while the prohis shout and sing, For we won't have saloons here any more.
 Chorus: The saloons are cleared away and we're sure they are gone to stay, And we won't be troubled with them any more. We are singing and rejoicing while saloons are cleared away, For we won't have saloons here any more. The saloon men wanted wet while the prohis wanted dry, oO SdCn L6iloW l6It o6OuiO HID olut' would win, But the seventh of November when the final test came round, The prohis said we won't have saloons any more.
 Chorus: Twas put by legislation but they said it wasn't fair. We will have I. and R. and we'll No. prepare. So twas put before the people for a vote election day, And we won't have saloons here any more.
 Chorus: Te saloon men said we'll have it if we have to ship it in, So they ordered it from Monroe, La.) and also from Memphis, Tenn But the legislature stopped them and now they can't ship it in, For they passed the bone dry law in Arkansas.
 Chorus to last verse: As the governor signed the bill, the guests all sang how dry I am, For they can't cen ship rum in here any more, We are singing and rejoicing while the rum is cleared away, For the stuff can't be sold here any more.

erees who have made a study of the situation.
 The wholesalers realize that their greatest stumbling block is their in ability to agree on a law in its en- tirety so the law makers will have something tangible to work with. This has been very irritating to some of the congressman who have had the measure in hand and caused all kinds of drastic threats. The wholesalers. however, believe that some means will be found of saving the law and secure the needed amendments.
 Expense the Trouble
 The chief complaint comes over the expense of administering the bank ruptcy law but it is hard to find a means of lowering the cost, The scale of fees at the present time is sliding and the small bankruptcies leave very little remuneration for handling in courts It is believed that a general attorney for the creditors would re suit in enough saving through the pre- vention of fraud to go a long way to- ward eliminating this objection. Let the bankrupt understand that his ac- tions are going to be thoroughly cru tinized whether his creditors live thousand miles away or are in his home town and he will either come clean with his creditors or continue in business should his just assets show that he is solvent.
 Citing Cases.
 In Illustrating this contention. recent case in the bankrupcy court at Beaumont was cited The wife Of bankrupt secured divorce and in the decree was awarded. small amount in alimony This evidently enraged the man and he decided to avoid payment by resorting to the bankruptcy court. He promptly filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy which showed that he did not have sufficient assets to meet his obliga- tions. Later he communicated the

 Speaking generally of the problem of organization, and of the prepara- tions now going actively forward throughout the country, the outstand- ing feature of it all is what is known as the "selective draft"
 Although our organic law makes mili- tary service obligatory for each male citizen between the ages of IS and 45 years, yet we have depended almost entirely in our previous wars upon the volunteer system.
 The selective draft means in simple terms, merely that the Government shall select a certain number of men and call them into service for the de- fense of the nation. It is truly demo- cratic in principle and it is the best and fairest law for military service. in E, ernment or by any other.

 These men must be fed. clothed and equipped and the industries at home must be fostered and protected, in or der that those who are doing the fight ing may be so supplied The coun- try is organizing in this respect. as well, and it makes one rejoice to be an American citizen.
 Each and every one of us may find his part in time. It has been truly said that, as the volunteer system of recruiting the army has passed, so must the volunteer system in indus tries give way to organization. and to "selective draft in the present emer- genscy. How this may best be ac- complished is engaging the minds and the energies of the most distinguished and capable men of our industrial world.
