COMMISSION To
FIGHT INCREASE
Moline Administrative Body Unable
to Map Out Statements Made
by Street Car Company.

Here's something the Moline city
commission is unable to map out:
The Tri-City Railway company is
advertising that they have averaged
% per cent in their earnings for
the last three years-they are sell
ing bonds. Now they have asked
for an increase Of two cents in
street car fares, when recently they
declared that their revenues were
not large enough to continue op-
erations.
The Moline administrative body
Will fight hard against the increase.
City Attorney Johnson stated this
morning that it would be in direct
violation of the franchise under
which the company is operating in
Moline if the increase is allowed.
According to the new schedule
arsenal men will be under the four
cent fare. while employees Of fac
tories in the city are forced TO pay
seven cents. This the commission
declares unjust.
The date for the hearing before
the state utilities commission is not
set. but the city authorities are ar
ranging their campaign to present
before the commission. They are
to ask the street car company their
increase in business since this vi
cinitv has been engaged in the max
ing Of war materials.

duty. There is no drouth or
other condition that prevents
them from giving their all,

THE FARMERS GIVE A
BUSHEL WAR FUND
Continued from front page)

Senator Robinson told Presi-
dent Wilson that Arkansas will
give bushels to the amount OF
million dollars. 1t is estimat-
ed that the entire United Stat
es will produce one hundred
million dollars. President Will
son says: Il have vision enough
to see it's wonderful possible
ties" This movement has the
endorsement and active sup
port of every branch of our
National and State Govern
ments. Arkansas already has
the honor of having returned
four times as much flour to our
Government as all the other
States combined, and now hav-
ing started this great work in
her borders the eyes of the Ma
ton are upon us.
If it were not for the drouth
Arkansas alone would produce
a million and a half dollars,
but we are in the grip of one
of the worst drouth the State
has ever known. At the same
time, we must not forget that
we are in the worst war the
world has ever known, and in
all history men have never

gotten their services. Neither
do we expect to crowd them
behind cold walls of old Sol
dier's homes, but, as is their
due, re-establish them in the
vocations of peace that each
is best fitted for.
In this movement Arkansas
is leading the world in the
most humanitarian, philan-
thropic work, the highest ideal
of all, and we find the people
responding all over the State
just as they have responded to
every call of our government.
The same spirit prevails that
induced the boys to say, as
one said when leaving the sta
ton when one of his friends
tried to console him. Don't
sympathize with me; save your
sympathy for the Kaiser, be-
cause when we get cover
There" God knows he will
need it."
From 90 per cent of the
counties of the State we are
getting reports that in their
school districts the people are
responding 100 per cent strong
from the head of the family
to the babe in the arms. One
and all are rallying to the sup
port of our boys. The news

FAR OVER TOP.

Louisville and Kentucky are far
over the top in the Fourth Liberty
loan, giving a united and emphatic
answer to Germany and Berlin. 1t
is the universal, unwearied, unmis-
taxable reply of united people to
all German peace propaganda, past,
present and future. Indeed addi-
tional thousands were subscribed as
an emphatic and personal protest
against any suggestion or semblance
OF compromise short of "uncondi-
tional surrender" The work of the
Louisville Liberty Loan organization
and the gratifying results have at
tracted national attention. Here
every one subscribed, the total of
subscriptions surprising all expecta-
tons. And this Spartan courage is
the heritage of our women as well
as men, for they worked heroically
to the very end in the face of
tremendous obstacles.
There lies the big, the beautiful,
the blessed part of this magnificent
response to the call to arms of the
folks at home. Overseas our boys
In khaki have met and vanquished

WELL IN HAND.

At first glance it appeared as il
the German Government had put
President Wilson in kind of diplo-
matte hole when it accepted all of
hiS propositions as proper basis
for peace. The Allies themselves
seemed to think so, for their
Ispokesmen of the press, particularly
the British press. FASTENED to say
that the armistice asked for by Ger
many should properly be arranged
by Marshal Foch, that it was a
thing TO be considered by the lead
ers of the armies in the field. We
do no injustice to the Allies when
we say they would prefer to have
the peacemaking in their own
hands; indeed it would be un-
reasonable to expect them to do
otherwise. At the same time it
must be remembered that victory
as far as it has been won belongs
to the United States, and If any one
power has right to say what shall
be the terms on which peace must
come that power is the United
States. The Presidents reply to
Germany must convince everyone
that he is fully equal to the occa-
sion and has the situation we'll in
hand. He has made it plain that
the German authorities with whom
he is ready to deal must really
represent the German people, that
he can not have, and will not have
any peace dealings with the pledge
breaking German junkers. He has
also made it plain to friend and foe
alike that the United States will not
stand for any diplomatic nonsense,
hat she intends to see that peace
when it does come will be a peace
n accordance with her sense of JUS
ice, and in this he shall have the
support of the people of every shade
If politics.
