Two former Central association

age clubs this year in the Threc-I
league. Hughes, who came from the
Thrce-I to manage the Dubuque club
when it entered the Central, will guide
the destinies of the Moline club. and
Jimmy" Hamilton. one time manager
Of the Cedar Rapids club. is at the
helm at Peoria. Both men had sue
Ccssfully managed clubs in the Three |
prior to their entrance into the Cen
trail Association. but neither proved
successful in the latter organization.
Hughes attributed his failure to lock
of proper financial support and Hamil-
tons poor showing was held due TO
restrictions placed on the Manager by
Belden Hill, who never entirely sur
rendered control Of the Bunnies. 1t
was generally believed. however. that
both men failed to appreciate the
difference in the methods Of manage
ment in the two organizations and did
not take the Central association as
seriously as they should have done.

gaining thereby the friendly feeling
of the sand, gravel, crushed stone
and Stag industry, and making po-
litical capital against the present ma
tional administration.
Here is one side of it, The other
side of it was developed in the
United States senate by virtue of
cunning campaign of sabotage by
the republican members of that
body, including both Sen. Watson
and Sen. New. For weeks prior to
the date of adjournment there was
the most determined endeavoring 10
delay every measure that came up.
Debates always were precipitated. II
the democrats could not be badgered
into debates, then republicans would
debate among themselves-kIlling

closing days of the congress with
important legislation and fail to pass
the necessary appropriations be
cause OF the lack of time"
Blocked by Congress.
Among the appropriations blocked
and failing of passage was the one
TO take care Of the operations Of the
railroads. Sens. New and Watson

record that they did their full share
in blocking the passage OF this inn
portant legislation. We have then

NewsTimes Special Service:
WASHINGTON, March Pc. L.
Lewis, chairman of the indiana
state Public Service commission.
has been in Washington this week
endeavorins TO hurry the adjust
ment of freight rates in Indiana. X
is understood that the railroad ad-
ministration has been told there
will be no road work IN Indiana ami
few public improvements until the
freight rates on road materials are
adjusted. 1t Is represented this
ultimatum, if it may be so designat-
ed. comes from no less a parsonage
than James p. Goodrich, governor
OF the state who Is on record down
here as one of the most insistenr
and persistent critics of the railr Dad
management.
The movement for rate adjust
ment affects Immediately the grav-
ell. crushed stone, stone and Stag in
dustry In Indiana. II is not known
here whether GOV. Goodrich or VIII
Hays are interested in any OF these
Industries in Indiana or not. Ii is
agreed. however, that sooner or
later there must be a revision Of
freight rates on these essentials to
the building and construction work
Of the middle west. not only in In
diana but in Ohio, Illinois and other
middle west states. The railroad
administration has announced its
willingness TO reduce prices. The
point is. it seems, that the railroad
administration does not propose TO
reduce rates if these industries in
tend to continue the present prices
and absorb in profit whatever the
rate reduction may amount 10.
Generous to Utilities.
The agitation carried on regard
ing this rate situation in Indiana Is.
i'm many ways, typical Of the way
certain unfriendly interests 10 the
present national administration are
attempting to diScredit IL and at the
same time make sure that popular
discomfort will preclude the posi-
bility of government control or
ownership of the railroads as a fixed
policy.
If reports reaching Washington
are correct Mr.. Goodrich's state pub
lie service commission has surpassed
almost every state commission in
America in generosity 10 public
service corporations during the war.
n dealing with these public utili-
lies. IL appears. Mr.. GOodrich's COM
mission mas not hesitated 10 raise
rates TO levels astonishiDgly high.
He has, therefore. in handling the
affairs OF his own state. rescrted 10
the very policy he so vigorously at
tacks in the railroad administration.
There is no difference in the argu-
ments in these cases. The utilities
said they needed more revenues and
rates were advanced almost without
question. The railroads OF the coun-
try. under government control. need
ed more revenues for one thing and
rates were advanced. The only diff
ference in these cases Is that in one
instance Goodrich defended them
and granted them, thereby gaining
the kindly feeling Of the utility in
terest in the state and in the other

legislative hired men OF privileged
business.
The point is that while one group
of republicans and interest servers
will spend weeks in trying TO pre-
vent teh railroad administration from
functioning, another group of re-
publcans will make the day and
night hideous with their criticism
of the railroad administration be-
cause it fails to function up TO their
eXpectations-or, perhaps, because
il is functioning, despite the conniv
ing of the opposition, beyond their
expectations.
Freight rates are high-in many
instances they are higher than peace
justed in time. They would have
been adjusted sooner if the knitting
of the railroad appropriation in con-
gress had not forced the manage
ment to concentrate its thought and
activity on getting money to meet
it's obligations, but they will be ad-
justed in time. 1t may be impossible
TO say how soon, but it is certain
that they will be adjusted long be-
fore Gov. Goodrich adjusts the pub
lie service corporation rates in In
diana, which his public service cor
pOration has boosted, to the pleasure
and profit OF the utilities, and to the
establishment of every other state in
the union.
