The Business Interests Friendly

In the conferences which have recently been held by Chambers of Commerce, Commercial Clubs and Shippers Associations with reference to the proposed in crease of b per cent in freight rates which is now pending be- fore tbe Interstate Commerce Commission, it is worthy of note that the business men of the country are perhaps more than ever before in a friendly frame of mind toward the carriers the preponderant sentiment be- ing that the enormous increase in wages represented by the Ad- amSon Law and other wage ad- vances, together with the mark ed increase in the cost of fuel, supplies, taxes, etc, makes it ab solutely imperative that the railroads must have an increase in revenues if they are to be ex- pected to continue to furnish ad equate and efficient transporta- tion service. The concenSus of opinion among these business men may be summed up as fol- lows: We realize that the rail- roads must have more money and when we are advised of their real needs we will have no pro test to offer." And this is an en- tirely sensible attitude for busi- ness men to take, for never be- fore has efficient railroad service been so vitally necessary as now when the Nation and all it's allied industries are facing one of the grayeSt periods Tn the history Of the Republic.
 It is also worthy of note. how ever, that the professional rail road baiter,a is still on the job dealing in the same old thread bare misrepresentation and hurlipg the same demagogic broadsides as of old To them no hour is grave enough to war rant either a careful inquiry into actual facts and conditions or to induce an attitude of calm reason and dispassionate comment. And yet, after all. this should cause

no surprise-for with the chron- ic demagogue jumping onto the railroads" is matter of busi- ness-as much a means to live lihood as is the occupation of the itinerant organ grinder who moves his wheezy instrument and agile monkey from one street corner to another. It was through abuse of the lailroads that these self ar pointed critics obtained their place in the sun" politically speaking-and far be it from them to let loose of a good thing" That, in the mean time, their ranting is a menace to the well beng of the country gives them no concern, Having nothing at stake themselves, their chief anxiety is to sustain the reputation for public watch dogs" which they acquired in other days.

For Information Registration Boards

Washington, D. c. June 10- Quotas are to be assigned to the several states in proportion to their population as determined by the bureau of the census and not in proportion to the registra
 tion The result is that every person who has failed to register is seriously increasing the bur den of those who have registered. Ample notice and every opportu- nity has now been given and there is no longer any argument upon which the conduct of non registrants can be condoned. The period of leniency referred to in my number five hundred has now passed. Attention is invited to paragraph sixteen of the regulations. It is requested that every effort be now made to detect and arrest persons sub feet to registration who have not registered and to bring each case promptly to the attention of the nearest representative of the de- partment of justice. Wide pub licity should be given to the eff feet of non registration in in creaslng the burden of those who have registered Care should be taken that the lists prescribed in paragraph thirty nine are promptly posted and all regis trants should be asked to assist iD bringing non registrants to the attention of the police. Sum marization reports of registra- tion from the various boards should be compared with esti- mates of census bureau and eff fort should be concentrated on those districts where discrepan-
