HIGHER FREIGHT RATES INEVI-
TABLE

Washington, July 30.-That furth-
er increases in freight rates will be
necessary in order to enable the rail
roads of the country to restore their
former equipment, is the opinion ex-
pressed by the Republican Publicity
Association, in a statement given QUE
today through the President of the
organization. The statement says:
"From the facts already developed
in the study of the problem of rees-
tablishment of our transportation
systems under private management,
it is clearly evident that the people Of
American must make up in one form
or another, the depreciation in railroad
equipment suffered in the past Jew
years because of inadequate railroad
revenue. Upon an efficient transpor-
tation system the prosperity of every
other industry and enterprise depends.
The short-sighted and unbusiness-like
policy of railroad regulation by one
Federal and 48 State regulatory bodies
resulted in what has been appropriate
ly called starvation of the roads-a
condition that must be corrected by
adoption of constructive, unified
supervision.
"The present condition of the trans
portation facilities may be better un-
derstood if we review briefly the
changes that have taken place in the
past few years.
"The great prosperity of the rail-
roads was between the fiscal years
ending in June, 1898, and June, 1907.
During this period the railroads show
ed continuous increases in their gross
revenues year by year, and, as a result
of that prosperity, the physical condi-
tion of the railroad properties was
raised to the highest peak.
"In the autumn of 1907 the panic
occurred, and from July /, 1907, the
beginning of the fiscal year 1908, the
financial and physical conditions
showed, with two exceptions, continu-
Gus depreciation up to the time the
railroads were taken over by the
government at the close of the calen-
dar year, 1917. Between 1908 and
1914 twenty-eight major railway cor
porations and over fifty minor cor
porations went into bankruptcy.
"During the period above stated the
railways had only two prosperous
years, viz: the fiscal year 1910, dur
ing which there was quick recovery
from the paralysis which followed the
panic of 1907, and again in 1913, fol-
lowing year of banner crops in prac-
tically all lines of agriculture. Dur
ing those years the railroads were full
ly maintained and probably some gain
was made, but the fiscal years 1911,
~, IL, and '16 were all lean years,
and in order that the roads might
meet their interest and dividend obli-
cations, expenses were reduced be-
yond safe limit and the properties
deprecated.
"In the year 1917 railroad revenues
reached very high level, but due to
the high cost and scarcity of labor,
and the unusual increase in the cost Of
materials, the depreciation of the ply
sical properties continued.
"At the close of the fiscal year
1914 there were in service on Glass I
and ii railroads 2,325,647 freight cars.
OF that number 841 900 cars were of /,
the capacity Of 10000 pounds, or un- !.

How Taft Lost Judgeship

Lieut.. Col. E. W. Halford, in Leslie's.
 When the new circuit court of appeals was constituted President Harrison, by first intention, chose MT Taft to be one of the nine men to inaugurate that i'm portant intermediate appellate tribunal The President more than once spoke to me of him as an ideal supreme court jus tice, and if the opportunity had come would likely have appointed him as such Later in Mir. Taft's life President Roose- welt did name him for the supreme bench
 MT. Taft was then governor of the Philippine islands, and had greatly en- dared himself to the Filipnos. He in vented the phrase The Philippines for the Filpinos,'' which was the keynote of his administration. The people were much excited over the prospect of losing him, and delegations of them marched to and about the palace with bands, and shouts of ''We want Taft" I knew of his just ambition and, being then in the Philippines, I called upon him to urge his acceptance of the supreme court offer, saying that he had discharged his full duty toward the Filipinos by his service
 in organizing and inaugurating civil gov ernment in the archipelago-a completed task which would ever be his monument and that now the administration Of it could safely be transferred to the hands of the lieutenant governor, Luke M Wright I was selfish enough to say that
 'the time to eat buckwheat cakes was when they were passing round,'' and that vacancies in the supreme court did not occur just when they were desired.
 We talked the matter over for little while, and then, alluding to the crowds that were at the time thronging the grounds, Mir. Taft said: You can hear these people, and I promised Mckinley when I left a life posNion to come here that I would stay by and help to work out this problem Just then his son, lad in knickerbockers at the time, ran through the salon, and as the governor wistfully smiled at him, he added, Well.

Handling Bolsheyiki
enan. i'm inc Review.

Nelenans Tn the ReNleW.
 Having thrown the barn doors wide open and fastened them back, now that the horse has been stolen, our wise and watchful authorities are scurrying hither and yon, crying stop thief, and asking for clues. There is one unmis- takable damning clue which anyone can see with his eyes shut and it leads straight back to the social authorities themselves and from them higher up. It was, to begin with, the attitude and action of our government in permitting Trotzky and his gang, after having urged the estruction of our institu- tions, to go to Russia, in spite of the remonstrances of the allied govern taking her out of the war; and it's further action when the bolsheviki. not yet strong, had entered openly upon their career of murder and robbery, in refusing to join the allies in put ting them down and preventing the spread of their nefarious propaganda; and later it's efforts more than once to treat with them on equal terms, a course that gave them clearly to un- destand that they were at liberty to send here as many emissaries and as much stolen money as they chose with which to sprea dtheir poison and carry on their warfare against us.
 Our authorities have shirked their plain duty shown themselves incom- potent and inadequate to meet the menacing situation which confronts us which they have long been aware of, and it remains for Congress to pass laws which will not only punish the criminals but compel timid, inefficient and demagogic officials to act. This plea of waiting is an overt act preaching revolution is an. overt act is as though a board of health, fully informe dthat enemies were spreading
