Will Own Mines
Of Immense Value

The economic future of Ukrainia de-
ponds solely upon that which will re.
main definitely in her possession of all
the lands she has taken at the present
time.
IF, for example, she retains the en-
tire River Dnieper to its entrance into
the Black Sea the Ukraine will then
own the richest mines of the govern
ments of Ekaterinoslav and Kherson
fthe Krivoi Rog). From these mines
alone 243, 800 pools of iron were
obtained in 1910
The Donetz basin offers the Ukrai.
mans the richest coal and naphtha de-
posits. In 1912 1,290,430,OO0 pools of
naphtha were obtained in this terri
tory.
Should the possession Of Ukrainia
reach the Black Sea, then she would
own wonderful harbors-O Odessa, Niko-
layev, Marbupol and Briansk. In 1910
the port Of Odessa alone was visited
by 16.625 vessels.
However, the natural resources Of
ukrainia, IS we'll as the harbors, lie on
her frontiers; consequently they are
placed ut the most dangerous points.
On the other hand, in the governments
of kiev, in the Podol and Volhyn, the
wheat granaries of Russia, the black
soil belt of the former empire, is the
source of rye, wheat corn and sugar
beet. Ukrainia has the greatest sugar
industry. Its Influence was felt during
the last two decades even on the Lon
don market.

Ploclaims Repubhe
Without Separation

This declaration is maze IN the fol-
lowing solemn form:
''iIencefortb UkrainIa is going to be
republic OF the people. Without sep
aration from the Russian Republic, but
preserving our unity, we will take a
firm stand on our soil so as to aid
Russia with our power, that the whole
Russian Republic might become 9 fed
GRAFTON of peoples, free and equal
And then suddenly came the separa-
ton of Ukrainia from Russia and in
dependent action on the part of the
new state.
The Bolsheviki played an important
part in this decision of Ukrainia,
or rather their action in undermining
the unity Of the Russian state. But it
must also be said that much of the
work in bringing about the action of
Ukrainia was done by the repre-
sentatives OF the Central Powers in
Brest-Li-ovsk when they conferred
with the representatives of the Ukrai-
Man Rada. The German prime aim
was to shattcr the unity of the Slavic
world, to break it up into parts, and
the inexperienced diplomats Of Ukrai-
MIA swallowed the German bait.
The paths of history are truly in
scrutable. One of the founders of the
Ukrainian national movement, Pro
fessor Nicholas Kostomaroff, in COM
pairing the Little Russians with the
Great Russians wrote as follows in his
Book. "Deux Nationaiites Russes"
There is something grandiose, ere
ative in the Great Russian; the spirit
of organization prevails, there is a
yearning for union, sagacity and abil-
ity to stand up n the face of Difficult
ties, acting when action is particularly
needed and deriving from it the great
est benefit possible under the circum
stances. 1t is these qualities that
the people Of Ukrainia lack. Their
love Of personal liberty led them
either to a severance OF social ties or
to a whirlpool in which the historic
life of the people vanished. Such is
the parallel between our two national
tiles"
At the present time the Ukrainians
have shown themselves to he stcadicr

and government action than the Rus

double the one way fare at the Sl3-50 rate will be approximately the same as the summer excursion rates. Our rates to Salt Lake City, Denver, and other inter mountain points will be reduced. They will not be greatly increased to the east if at all. The abolition of scrip books will result in those now using scrip paying 3 cents instead of 21a cents per mile. The reduction on the Globe division and other branches from cents to cents will be a marked reduction.
 Pu!lman's Are Real Luxury
 "The requirements exacted of those using Pullman space is rather start ling" said MT. Jones. Passengers are required to pay 16 2-3 per cent of the ticket rate in addition to the Pullman fare when occupying palace sleepers and 1-3 per cent additional fare when using tourist or second class sleepers, This is an innovation and will result in passengers going, say to Kansas City where the fare is say $50. paying sS.35 plus the pullman fare for occu- pying the standard sleeper. Railroads may file round trip tourist fares tar ifs based upon proper relation to one way fares. This will be of no disad- vantage to us. Our touilSt fares nave never been a proper relationship to like fares to California.
 All stop over privileges, side rides and other concessions are abolished Officers, enlisted men and nurses of the army and navy can travel for one cent mile when on furlough or on of ficial business. For the G. A. R. en- campment at Portland, Ore, and the Confederate Veterans meeting al Tulsa, Okla, this year a rate of one cent per mile may be made limited to membership of such organizations"

The act of congress gives me no opportunity to share with state commissions the responsibility of which rests upon the United States railroad administration for the finan- cial results to the United States gov ernment, of the operation of the rail- roads. In fact, the government of the united States assumed control of the railroads and the undivided responsi- bility for their operation and that en- tire responsibility has been placed upon me. l have also felt that the eXi- gencies of the situation are so serious as not to admit of postponement ac- tion until full opportunity could be eX- tended to the commissions in all the states to discuss the important prob lems involved and to advise me in ad vance of official action as to how my responsibility could best be discharged In these circumstances it has seemed clear that the responsibility should be promptly met in the manner contem- plated by the act of congress and then in the event of readjustments which must come in a matter of such far reaching character to obtain the advice | and suggestions of these state con- missions and to take advantage o1 their views in order that in the fina, | consideration of the subject by the | interstate commerce commission that l body may have the advantage of the ] most intelligent and equitable sug- gestions as to the readjustments need. ed to accomplish the largest measure of relative justice, while, at the same time, obtaining the additional operat. ing revenues which the United State. government must have in order to dis. charge the responsibility which it ha. assumed for railroad operation.

which in principle and in substance are indispensable to enable the federal government to discharge the trans portation functions which are essential 10 the successful conduct of the war. W. G. McADOO, Director General of Railroads. General Order No. 2S consists of b pages of closely typewriter instruc- tions requiring all railroads under federal control to increase rates fo1 the movement of freight, passengers and baggage effective in the case of passengers June 10 and on freight on June 25. The changes are sweeping in character and include every com- modity both carload and less carload | lots.
 Passenger Rates Lower Here The one compensating feature of the order relates to passenger rates in Arizona and other states where rates are now in excess of three cents a mile. 1 The new rates established are uniform throughout the United States and are three cents per mile for both short and l long hauls
 "All freight rates are increased from approximately 10 to 9 per cent" said Chairman Jones of the Arizona com mission. "The increases and changes are the same on all railroads in the country except a few so-called short lines. In Arizona these short lines are such as the United Verde & Pacific: the Morenci Southern; Ray & Gila Valley; Swansea R. R. and roads of like kind.
 Coal to Cost More
 Coal from Gallup to Arizona points will be increased 40 and 50 cents per ton. To Phoenix the increase is 50 cents. Coke will be increased 75 cents per ton. Sand, gravel and stone 20 cents brick 40 cents; cement, 40 cents and lime 30 cents. Rates on lumber will advance 25 per cent but not more than S1.00 the ton; wheat 25 per cent but not more than $1.20 a ton other grains the same as wheat. Flour 25 per cent but not more than $1.20 a ton; cotton Is cents per 100 pounds live stock 25 per cent but not in ex- cess of $500 a car. Cured meats lard, etc, 25 per cent: copper, lead and other metals will be raised 25 per cent but the rate from Arizona to New YorE shall not exceed s16.50 ton. Sugal goes up 25 per cent. All other inter state commodity rates are raised 2 per cent" These increases" con tinued Mir. Jones, apply alike on in tra- state as we'll as interstate traffic and other interstate commodity rates refers to the hundreds of rates iron California and the east on all othel traffic. Class rates go up 25 per cen and these rates apply on all less car load shipments and the increase ap plies locally as well as from othe states. As l read the order rates oI ore locally will be subject to the in
 crease although a more careful andy
 sis of the order may prove that tn
 order does not apply to state commod
 ity rates. The order is not who'll, clear to me on a hurried reading.
 All Rates on Three Cent Basis
 "As to passenger rates, however,
 is clear that all mileage, scrip and ex
 cursion rates will be thing of the pas
