LEGION URGES
DEPORTATION OF
VICTOR BERGER
Recommend Unseating Of
Congressman Voigt for
Defense of Disloyal
Colleague. ..-c

Minneapolis, Nov. ll.-Deporta-
ton of Victor Berger, recently de-
MED a seat in congress and unseat-
ing of Representative Weight of Wis
ccnsin, who cast the only vote in
Berger's favor, was recommended to
the American Legion convention
and was received with tremendous
cheering On motion of the entire
Wisconsin delegation the resolu-
ton demanding cancellation of Ber-
gers citizenship was unanimously
adopted.
Endorsement of universal military
training, with a small standing army
and no compulsory military service
in time of peace, was voted enthus-
iastically. 1t was recommended that
the national citizen army be under
local control and administration sub
jet to general national regulations
The hottest fight of the session
was precipitated by raising of the
question whether the legion shall be
kept out of politics. The conven-
ton voted to amend its constitution
to make the organization non-politi-
cal and bar candidates for public Of
fee from holding Office in the le-
eion.
A stormy session began after the
legion had observed Armistice day
by a parade which ended with pre-
sentation of decorations to members
OF the One Hundred and Fifty-Firsi
field artillery, regiment composed
largely of Twin City men.
Indianapolis was selected as per.
manent national headquarters of the
legion and Cleveland as the con.
vention city for 1920. Washington
and San Francisco contested with
these two, respectively, and lost by
narrow margins.
A resolution requests congress vi
it finds Representative Weight tc
be disloyal to take steps for his ex,
pulsion from the house of represent.
atives." Debate on another amend
ment to the Legion constitution af
fecting membership privileges threw
! the convention into confusion, in the
midst OF which the convention ad
| journed at 7 o'clock until $50 p. m
Proponents of an amendment
seeking to admit those who served
with the American or allied armies
and hereafter become American citi
zens lost their fight by a two t.
one vote.
The present legion button wa!
approved as the permanent emblem
and flags for national, department
and post headquarters were pre-
scribed, bearing the legion emblem
on a field of red, white and blue
respectively.
| Several of the important decisions
facing the convention include ques
tons of soldiers bonus, information
al propaganda and form of nationa
organization with election of ma
tional officers.

EXPRESS co. IS
after ANOTHER
RAISE IN RATES
Commissioner Intimates it Is
Att.smpt to "Cinch" Rate
Before Private Owner
ship Returns.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1l.-Seeing@
an apparent attempt by the Amer
lean Railway Express Co., to put
over another big increase of rates
in Nebraska, In a new tariff it has
filed with the Interstate Commerce
commission, Railway Commissioner
Taylor has sent a letter of protest
to Max Thelan, director of public
service for the railroad admins
tration at Washington. -.
The new schedule would especial
~ hit producers, shippers and con-
sumers of milk and cream, as we'll
as those of other foodstuffs pro-
duced in this state.
In Effect December l.
This tariff will go into effect
December /, unless suspended by
the federal commission. As the
railroads, and with them the con-
solidated express corporation, are
to 60 back into the hands of their
private owners in the near future,
the move is regarded by the Nebras-
ka Railway commission as an at
tempt to get the higher rates es-
tablished with government sane
ton, so that it will be difficult to
upset them after the federal regime
ceases. ...
As the state commission allowed
a material advance Of express rates
last January, after they had been
boosted once before by order of
former Director General McAdoo,
the attempt to plaster still another
raise on the traffic is considered
here to be little short of a holdup.
Commissioner Taylor's. letter fol-
lows H.
eHon. Max Thelen, director public
service, railroad administration,
Washington d. c. I-...
Dear Sir: On behalf of the Ne
taska commission, l desire to re-
spectfully call your attention to the
tariff just filed by the American Ex-
press company, tariff |. c. c. LAS,
to become effective December l.,
1919, unless suspended by the In
terstate Commerce commission. This
tariff applies solely to commodity
express shipments within the state of
Nebraska.
10 to 40 Per Cent.
"The schedules, as proposed, apply
to. milk and cream shipments and to
practically all food products moving
by express within Nebraska. The
rates are increased from 10 to 40 per
cent on all shipments moving within
the 100 miles. For shipments NOV
ing 100 miles and beyond, the rates
are materially reduced from the
present scale. The disastrous effect
81 this scale, however, may be un
dersteed when we state that the
great bulk of the shipments in Ne.
braska have haul of not to exceed
i rs miles. Milk and cream traffic II

Nebraska Automobile
Record System Used
In Several States

Lincoln, Nov. lie. L. Richards
Of Chicago, manager of the automo-
bile protective and information bu-
reau there, has written to Secretary
Phil Bross of the state finance de-
partment, complimenting the Ne
braska official on the card index
system which is now being used i'll
this state in connection with auto
mobile records. He also praises the
law enforcement division of Nebras-
ka on its work and says there has
been a material falling off in auto
mobile thefts in Nebraska since it
began giving them its attention.
Richards reports that the Ne
braska plan has been adopted in
Michigan, and that it will doubtless

their legislatures meet.

Guilty Of Aiding in
Big Fight Swindle

indianapolis, Nov. l1.-Seven al
legged swindlers, including Mayor r.
Fl. Bunch of Muncie, Ind, and
Prosecuting Attorney Horace G.
Murphy of Delaware county were
found guilty in federal court here

mails to defraud.
The seven men were part OF a
group of "a indicted in connection
with the Muncie case which involved
more than 20 alleged swindle cases
and a total of $150,000. All other
defendants had pleaded guilty, some
of them having changed their pleas
to guilty during the trial.

possibly 10 days, it was stated. The
maximum penalty is $4,000 fine,
two years Imprisonment, or both

OWNERSHIP OF /,

U.S.. OPPOSED
United Applause Greets Start
of Fight in House Against
Plumb Plan.

Washington, Nov. 1l.-Expres-
sions of opposition in the house to
government ownership of railroads
drew applause from both democratic
and republican members, when
debate of the house railroad regula-
ton bill began.
after hearing proponents of the
Plumb plan for government owner
ship with employee operation, the
committee was convinced that gov
eminent ownership was not and
never can be the solution of the
railroad problem" declared Rep
resentative Esch, Wisconsin, chair
man of the interstate commerce
committee which framed the
measure, and the applause he receiv-
ed was repeated when others ut
tered similar statements.
The only suggestion Of the trans
portation problem as a 1920 cam
paign issue was raised by Represent
alive Sims of Tennessee, ranking
democratic committeeman. While
supporting the committee plan CEN
tering on the extension of the
authority of the Interstate Commerce
commission, Mr.. Sims reserved the
right to offer substitute later pro-
posing continuance of government
control until the end of 1921.
by that time, the campaign will
have passed. the congress will have
been elected, labor will have gone

be seriously affected by the
creases proposed.
Why at This Time?

Why at his lime!
Our commission is at loss to
understand why the express schedule
in Nebraska should be modified at
this time. A schedule prepared by
the express company, was put into
effect January /, 1919, and has con-
tinued in effect to the present time.
Just why the tariff should again be
radically changed, we are unable to
understand. 1t seems to US that the
rate structure should be left as it is
until after the return OF the carriers
10 their owners. Much the same sit
uation prevails with reference to ex-
press rates as applied to freight
rates, concerning which we wrote
you on September 9. As to that
matter YOU wrote us on October l.,
that the railroad administration had
concluded definitely to take up pro-
ceedings.
Later. on October ID, you again
advised that Director General Hines
had stated the position of the rail
road administration to be, that no
general readjustment of rates would
be made effective prior to January
|, 1920, and suggesting, that if the
railroad corporations think anything
should be done in the matter, they
should themselves enter upon study
of the problem to determine what
tariffs they think ought to be pro-
posed, with a view to filing tariffs
according with the appropriate pub
lie authorities
After U. S. Control.
The same principle, it seems to
us, should apply to express rates.
We know of no reason why the
schedules in Nebraska should be
radically disturbed at this time. The
Nebraska commission stands ready
10 enter upon an investigation
. promptly if the express company re-
cards such proceeding as neces-
sary. The filing of this tariff at this
time rather suggests that the ex-
press corporation is fearful that it
NAV not have fair treatment from
the Nebraska commission after the
! company passes out of the hands OF
government control. We believe
there is nothing in the record or in
the present attitude of the commits
. sion to warrant such an assump-
ton.
| Eve trust, therefore, that you
may find it possible to have this
tariff withdrawn. Yours very re-
! spectfully!
