TRYING TO REVISE PRICES

Chicago, April 16.-Combine Ameri-
cas- railroads into a few great systems
and then return them to private
iowners who will be guaranteed a mod
yerate return with a little extra profit
ITO insure efficiency, was the sugges-
tion of Director General Walker D.
Hines in an address here today before
the American Lumbermen's associa-
rtion.
Private ownership on the old plan
has been found wanting" Hines said.
Government control now looms
disappointing. L h approaching
method of private ownership with gov
sernment cooperation must work-or
1.-THE public will demand the final pos
isibility-public ownership"
1T is great mistake to connect
high costs with government control"
said Hines. I'VE are at present trying
TO revise all prices, except wages,
downward. We are doing it slowly to
avoid chaos"
! Steel Question Up.
Hines was not the only speaker at
the meeting. Rising with a deter
mined air. r. A. Long. a Kansas City
slurbeHman; demanded of the director
general why he had refused to buy
steel at present market prices
"In refusing to buy steel" said Long.
s'you have given the public reason to
sbelieve that all prices are unreason-
ably high and must come down. You
tdemoralize industry and erect a dam
$50 high the entire business of the
icountry cannot push thru it,
Hines replied that it was ''up to the
<steel people to show us their prices
were reasonable and I acted upon the
hest advice obtafnable. L didn't want
ito give the endorsement of the rail-
sroad administration to a price that
fwould be artificial and a standard for
athe entire calendar year"

WANTS TRUTH OF
COTTON SITUATION.
Acreage Abandonment go Per
Cent. Says Wannamaker.

Columbia, Sept. l. - J. Skottowe
Wannamaker, president Of the Amer
lean Cotton Association, announced
last night that in response 10 re-
quests received from all over the
country, the association had asked
Congress TO provide for an investiga-
tion by the Department of Agriculture
of the acreage abandonment OF cot
ton for the present crop.
THE abandonment of acreage this
year." said Mr.. Wannamaker, "'it is
found, is the largest ever recorded.
AS a result OF careful investigation
made by the experts of our associa-
ton, We are convinced that there has
been an abandonment of acreage o..
9 IA per cent.
"It is the custom Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture to postpone pub
fishing acreage abandonment until
after the close of the season. This is
unjust to the farmer and the manu-
facturer. Aside from this, the fact
that the abandonment this year eX-
ceeds that of any previous year makes
it of vital Importance that the exact
figures be given to the world.
"The American Cotton Association
has also requested certain Senators
and Congressman to introduce res
olution calling upon the federal Il ie
commission to investigate how much
spinnable cotton is actually available
what grades there are, and who the
parties are owning it. The question
of surplus cotton should be correctly
established. 1t is predicted by many
of the best experts in America that
as a result of an investigation By
the federal trade commission it will
be found that the actual amount OF
spinnable cotton will show an enor-
nous shortage, as compared with sur
pluses recently issued by certain eX-
perts, so that the world is facing an
extremely small amount of spinnable
cotton carried over from the last sea-
son and is facing the smallest cotton
crop produced in the last thirty
years"
According to a statement given
out at the headquarters of the South
Carolina Cotton Association last
night, splendid reports continue to
come in from over the State regard
ing the progress of the membership
campaign. The reports from almost
every county have been of most en-
couraging nature, it was stated.

sen. DIAL TRIES TO
RENT WHITE HOUSE
Phones "1163 Main," and Endeavors
to Lease Wilson's Home,
Through Mistake.

Washington, Sept. 2-While any
: number of Senators and Representa-
tives to say nothing Of many more OF
less distinguished men who cannot be
! classified, would not mind occupying
the White House for a minimum per-
iod of four years, Senator Dial OF
South Carolina is the only known
statesman who has tried to rent the
place. 1t is fair TO say that he did not
know what he was doing at the time
, but the effect was the same.
1t seems that the Senator, along
with everybody else in the United
States who must pay rent, was recent
ly informed that there would be con-
side. able increase in the amount
which he would have to pay for his
present residence during the coming
year and he did not like it. He
promptly resolved to seek another
home and began locking up real es-
tate agents.
Casually glancing through his ad-
dress book he inadvertently gained
the idea that the house listed at
'1163 Main was for rent and he i'm
Imediately established telephone con-
nection with the same.
After pronouncing his name and
official standing to the polite voice
at the other end of the wire the Sena-
tor added:
Il understand your place is for rent
for the coming year and l have called
you Up to learn about the terms"
He thought it strange that instead
of voice there came q gurgle over
the wire followed by a gasp and some
more unintelligible noises.
why no, SENATOR came the reply
at last: this place is not for rent. at
least at present"
Does the present tenant intend to
move out soon" was the next inquiry
which was followed by more strange
noises.
Not for more than year, at least"
came the answer at last seemingly
with great difficulty; "a year from
March next, anyway"
HIM" commented the lawmaker
"he must be an office holder. By the
way, who is occupying that place
now?"
President Wilson," was the final
reply. This is the White House, Sem
ator."
Senator Dial is using a lew address
book now.
