SCOTT FARR|S DENIES
REPUBLICAN SUPPORT

Washington, Oct. 2S.--The claim
put forth by leaders of the republican
party that their mem bers in congress
have. given greater support to the
president on war legislation than the
presidents own parry was denied here
tonight by Representative Scott
Farris, chairman of the democratic
national congressional campaign COM
mittee.
The records show that the demo-
Gratis. rather than the republicans,
have upheld the hands of the presi-
dent" said Representative Farris, in
a lengthy statemen: analysing the
records OF the two parties Continu-
ing, he said. in part:
I'm hopeless effort to convince the
country that the minority party has
given greater support to the president
on war legislation than the demo-
cratic maiority. republicans leaders
resort to generaltics. speak of per-
centages, but carefully refrain from
mentioning the actual votes on -
great war bills.
LAS has been said before, and is re-
peated now, there is reason for this
silence in the republican
camp. The records show that the
democrats. rather than the republic
cons have noheld The hands of the
president Percentages may deceive
the unthinking, figures do not lie
" otea pass bills, and II was the
votes of democrats that passed the
legislation which enabled the presi-
dent to create and develop the great
war machine that is carrying Ameri-
can arms TO victory"

HIGH EXPRESS RATES
DECLARED ALL RIGHT

washington. Oct 27.--The inter
state commerce commission TODAY
ruied that the proposed increase in
express rates was justiflable. The ad-
oftlonal income thus derived will he
shared on approximate equal terms nv
the government and the connanv
since the contract between Director
General McAdoo and the express com
pany provides that the latter shall
pay to the railroads 5025 per cent
or the gross receipts. This figure was
arrived at on a computation of the
average paid by the express COM
panies to the railroads in the past ten
years.
1t is held that the increased income
to be derived by the railroad admin
istration will be in line with recent
necessary increases in freight and
passenger fares and thM the increase
will prevent a growing congestion in
the express business by creating a
greater margin between the freight
and express rates.
The express company will use the
entire amount of the increase for nee
essary increases in wages of Its en-
ployees.
