NO FREIGHT RATE
INCREASE BEFORE
JANUARY 1--HINES
Director General viii Allow
Matter to Rest Until Roads
Are Returned to Private
Ownership First of Year,

Washington, oct. THE railroad
administration will make no increase
in freight rates before return of the
railroads to private operation Janu-
airy /.
Director General Hines wrote T.
Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the rail
way executives today that it would
be "impossible for the government
to establish any general readjustment
of rates" because earnings of the
roads under the abnormal conditions
prevailing in the early part of this
year did not afford fair test of in
come.
The manifest desire of the public TO
have the Interstate Commerce COM
mission exercise fun authority in any
establishments of rates to be effective
under private control also was cited
by the director general as an objection
to the railroad administration un-
dertaking such u readjustment,
"My view" wrote the director gen.
eral, has been and is that this inn
portant matter must be handled in
accordance with the two following
considerations;
"First-The question of an increase
of rates could not properly be con-
sidered on the exclusive basis of the
unfavorable showing which the rail-
road administration was making In
the early part of this year, because
that showing was very largely due to
an abnormally small freight business,
SO that the results of that period
could not fairly be taken as a test for
making increases in rates Necessar-
lily, therefore. it seemed to me that
the formation of any proposal for a
general increase in rates would have
to await better opportunity for
making an estimate as to what the
earning capacity would be under
normal conditions. 1 have been in
/ creasingly confirmed in this opinion
| by the various developments which
have taken place.
| "Second--It has seemed to me that
! the public would not be satisfied un-
! der existing conditions to have any
| general increase in rates put into eff
/ feet without the concurrence of the
| Interstate Commerce commission. The
public sentiment to this effect has
! been manifested in many ways
| throughout the year and has been
emphasized by the recent passage by
the two houses of congress of bills
providing that there shall be an OPP
portunity to review any rates pro-
posed by the railroad administration
before those rates shall 20 into ef-
! feet. 1t follows, therefore. that time
and opportunity must be provided for
public consideration by the regular
| rate-making authority OF any rate
proposals now made"

STIFF TAX Is PUT ON
LUXURIES IN GERMANY

Berlin, Oct.7,-None of the new
German tax measures is more strin-
gent and all-inclusive than the turn
over tax, especially that part of it re-
lating to luxuries. Virtually every
thing imaginable beyond the veriest
necessities for the household are
taxed all the way from to Is per
cent at the store where they ara
bought.
There are nineteen categories of
luxures eleven of which come un-
der the 10 per cent clause.
The taxes will vary in severity ac-
cording to the price of the articles
purchased, since in this way the gov
ernment hopes to put the greatest
burden on the wealthy.
The taxes will be collected in two
ways. Where il is possible, the
seller will add the tax to the price
of the article and turn it in to the
government, In the case of articles
manufactured in one place and sold
by retail everywhere. the retail deal-
ers will collect the tax.
The government reckons that the
turnover tax will total $500, 600. 600
marks. This sum must be reduced
by one-tenth, to four billions, to
take account of the territories ceded
to the entente.

The question of the barrier which
