Raises Have Been Continuous

If the proposed 20 per cent in crease in freight rates is allowed, it will make a raise of nearly 300 per cent in little over three years. The first raise came in April, 1916, and they have been continuous since that time.
 In the spring of 1916 the basic freight rate to Juneau was $4 a ton. At the present time it is $9 a ton, and it is now proposed to raise this 20 per cent, making the rate about $11 In the meantime the classifica- tions have been changed so that many articles of general conAlmp- tion which formerly were carried at the base rate have taken on higher rates.

Senator Smoot Takes
Issue With Mr.. Glass on
War Risk Statement

Senator Smoot of Utah took issue
sharply today with Secretary Glass
over the statement issued by him last
night. Secretary Glass in the pub
lished interview said that senator
Smoot was putting the cart before
the horse in his proposal to transfer
the compensation work of the war
risk bureau to the bureau OF pensions
as part of Senator Shoots general
plan to disintegrate the war FISK
bureau by delegating its dlHerent
branches to other government agencies
already established.
"In the published interview Secre-
tary Glass makes statements which l
think were made without due ex-
animation" said Senator Smoot. 1.-The
following are the facts. The number
of pensioners on the roll or the
bureau of pensions on October 81.
1919, were 617,757.
This morning, according to the dis
bursting officer Of the war risk bureau.
compensations were paid to 1O4,236
persons in October, 1919, whereas the
records of the pension bureau show
that during the same month pensions
were paid to 617,757 persons by the
bureau of pensions.
Let the public judge as to whether
the cart is before the horse or not"
continued Senator Smoot. IF I can
not establish the fact that in the re-
organization I propose of the war
risk bureaus activity the work will
be done better than it is today with
a saving of at least 5000 employees,
l would not ask Congress to approve
the legislation.
~ know it is not popular to UNDER
take to separate 5000 employees from
the government service in the District
of Columbia, but l feel it is my duty
to do everything I can to prevent the
payment for unnecessary employees,
and so Tighten the burden of the tax
payers as much as possible"
mo hardship will be done the 5000
clerks to be dismissed said Senator
Smoot, "if what they tell me in my
office is correct. The complain that
they are losing money by working for
the government and tell of big offers
in outside employment. Therefore, I
believe, that we will be doing them a
service in releasing them from the
work which they say they are holding
here out of patriotic motives"
Senator Smoot intends to introduce
his bill for disbanding the war risk
bureau early next week

MR.. GLASS AGAINST
WAR RISK CHANGE
Disapproves Mr.. Shoots
Plan to Distribute Work
Among Other Offices.

Senator Shoots plan to disintegrate
the bureau of war risk insurance and
distribute its work among other gov
eminent offices does not meet with
the approval Of Secretary Glass or
the Treasury. who has issued a state
ment setting forth his reasons 1or
opposing the plan of the Utah senator
as announced exclusively in The Even
ing Star Thursday.
Force Being Reduced.
The Secretary in reply to the sena.
tors assertion that the salaries OF
5000 or 5000 clerks could be saved
by the change says that improve"
methods are now bringing about q
reduction of the bureau force which
will drop from $4,000 on November /,
last to 10000 hy the first of the year;
at is TO be assumed that the several
departments to which the senator pro
poses to consign divisions Of the wa,
risk bureau are not at the press,,n r
time overmanned." continued Mr..
Glass. "and that the clerks in these
departments are kept busy. How. theh;
is it proposed that they snail Inu
time to do the additional work that
will necessarily result II me sen"
tors suggestions be followed!
The work of the allotment ana al
lovance division is practically closed
exceDt for the settlement OF cases oe-
Iayed by conflicting interests. says the
Secretary, and though 1t might nave
been wiser in the beginning to nave
placed this work in the war ana Navy
departments neither economy nor
efficiency would be promoted by
change now. The transfer OF the MES
the statement adds, would Involve
vast amount of labor.
Answer to Proposal.
In reference to other proposed
changes. Mr.. Glass says:
1.-THE plan. outlined by Senator Smoot
proposes to split up the compensation
and claims and insurance DIVISIONS VI
the bureau and distribute them among
three separate departments. AT the
present time all claims for both com
pensation and insurance are handied
by the same unit This Is because VI
the fact that there is close relation
between compensation and insurance
claims. almost every insurance claim
heinz ), notential compensation claim
and vice versa Thus one examination
of A case suffices for it's Adjudication
whereas if those divisions were ais
tributed among other depar thlen,s
duplication of work would necessarily
cnsue.
.The proposal to place the compen-
sation division of the bureau OF war
risk insurance under the jurisdiction
of the pension bureau is ike putting
the cart before the horse, because
this division is far larger tnah 'he
entire pension bureau.
"What advantage might be gained py
separating the insurance division from
the ccrc rensation division l am unaple
TO see. but 1 do see that =. great loss
of time and of effort would be entail
cd and a duplication Of work would
inevitably result by the requirement.
that claims for compensation should
be examined in one department. ana
claims for insurance should pc eH-
amined in another department.

NEW YORK, November 29.-Testi-
commissioner Of immigration at Ellis
Island. had ordered dcportations Of radi-
calls held up. although final deportation
orders had been received from the De-
partment Of Labor. was given to the
House immigration committee by Percy
A. Baker, superintendent of the island,
yesterday.
Baker put in evidence an order he
had received from Howe last March,
reading: you will stay all depor-
tattons in these alien cases until the
attorneys can be advised and until
after consultation with men,"
Baker testified that an order of the
Department of deport was f1nal.and he,
therefore. did not understand the note
from Howe and consulted him. Baker
then made this memorandum on the
copy of the order shown the COM
mittee:
commissioner states if deportation
orders are received before doing so
he should be consulted"
Representative Sfegel Of New York
said there was no authority in law
for such staying of deportations.
/ Baker said that some Of the radi-
calls affected by the stay had been re-
leased by the department and some
had obtained their freedom by habeas
corpus proceedings. The effect Of
Howe's order to him. he said. prob
ably was to permit delay for the in
stitution of habeas corpus proceed
ings.
Representative Siegel read from i'm
migration department records names
Of two dozen men who had been held
at the island with warrants for their
deportation on file, but had been re-
leased, mostly on their own recognf-
zance. They now are missing.
Howe interrupted Bakers testimony
in an effort to give his version Of the
matter. but was shut off by the COM
mittee, which promised him an oppor-
tunity to be heard later. Failing to
obtain permission to testify earlier in
the day, Howe had issued a state
ment to the press, saying that he had
never released a radical without or
ders from Washington.

of New York, head of the department
of Christian Americanization of the

a large part, more dangerous prob

than to build it up"
The Rev. Mr.. Burgess told Secre-

in the idea that the ebb Of the i'm

America has put an end to the need
of AmericaniZation.

TEN ACRE YIELD WORTH si.090.
Sebastian County Proves Wheat Is a
 Profitable Crop on Arkansas Soil.

From the Southwest American.
 What would the pessimist who IS not yet convinced that the soil of Western Arkansas will grow any tenn perate zone crop, say to the fact that there is wheat acreage in the immedi- ate neighborhood of Fort Smith which is yielding about $100 per acre this year?
 In the great wheat state of Kansas, farmers are satisfied if their wheat runs 25 bushels to the acre; what would they say to a Sebastian county farm on which wheat crop has just been put into shock, which conserva- tive growers say will yield between 40 and 50 bushels per acre? That is the record.
 4I planted ten acres of wheat last fall as one of the Sebastian county farmers who responded to Hoover's cry for more wheat. In fact, plant ed the wheat because l feared if we did not grow the flour we would have to go without biscuit"
 That was the statement of Lee ln- graham, leading farmer, horseman and citizen of the Fort Smith district.
 Last fall he planted ten acres of wheat on ground from which the corn crop had just been harvested. He sent to Tennessee and secured Blue Stem seed, paying $3.50 per bushel, and sowed bushel and half to the acre, drilling it in. The soil had no special fertilization for the crop. The crop has matured and been harvested; and is now in the shock awaiting thresh- ing before the close of the month. At current prices, that crop should net the grower about 1000.
 Besides the forcible lesson in pro- gressive farming, that crop was re- sponsible for bringing one more Me- Cormick harvester and binder to this district. When the wheat was ready for harvesting, MT. Ingraham was un- able to secure the services of harvest ing machinery, hence he invested S2S0 in binder for his own farm.

The Austrian Altitude.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 .At last the patch work Austro- Hun garian empire has fallen apart. What was a government of 50,000,000 peo- pie has become government of six or seven million people. The Aus trians are resigned to their fate. All they ask of the peace conference is mercy.
 It is interesting to compare the de- meanor of the Austrians with the de- meanor of the Germans and it will be interesting to learn which is the bet ter of the two.
 The Germans after lying to the world for four years, have made the very grave mistake of lying to them selves. They have told themseResc their armies were not beaten The common people of Germany are yet to learn the real truth and the awakening will be awful.
 The Germans deserve no mercy and their swaggering boastfulness dur ing the war and since has killed any fsentiment of pity that might have arisen in the heart of the world. sA The world knows the guilt of Aus tria in this worst of crimes is great. But the world knows that Germany from the beginning was the greater criminal Austria's punishment will be great, but Austria will find sympa- thy. Germany's punishment will be great and Germany win find no sym pathv
