Railway Commission
to Simplify Truck
Rates in Nebraska

Lincoln. Sept. 1l,-(Special.) IA
meeting OF all of those interested in
motor truck transportation rates has
been called by the Nebraska State
Railway commission for September
%, at 10 o'clock in the Office of the
railway commission.
Readjustment of the schedule of
the motor truck rates recently pro-
mulgated by the commission is ex-
pected to follow.
In its call the commission states:
Experience has shown that the
modified railroad classification en-
bodied in the arrangement on the
trucking order, G. o. 46, is too COM
plicated for use in the trucking bust
ness. The purpose of this hearing
is to permit a classification more
simplifed and better fitted for the
trucking service"
The commissions first schedule
OF rates were computed on the same
general plan as railroads are figured.
However, it was found that large
number of other conditions enter
into the rates, which will have to be
taken into consideration.

not be fit place to live in as long
as any great power can do what
Germany did"
Under the league, asserted Mr..
Wilson. there would be no opportu-
nifty for a people to be thrown into
war without rheir consent. But if
the league failed, he declared, the
United States would be deliberately
guilty of preparing a situation
which would bring on the final
war" .,
That the United States should be
trustee for the peace of the world,
the president declared, was inevita-
bic. Development of American
power had been viewed with dis
may, he said, until it was seen that
she fulfilled her pledge to Cuba.
Then the world knew, he added, that
it could repose its confidence in the
United States.
This confidence, said Mr.. Wilson,
has been shown in the fullest meas
ure at Versailles and in consequence
the peace had been drawn upon
American specifications.
Declaring the treaty could not be
carried out without the league, the
president cited the territorial adjust
ments of mid-Europe as an exam
pie of the sort of tasks which. he
asserted, only concert of nations
coud accomplish. The league was to
be the fundamentally, he said, by
which the goods are to be delivered
to the people to whom they belong"
in territories of disputed sover-
eighty.
The league, too would be step
toward world democracy, the pres
ident said, because for the first
time it would place the small and
weak nations on footing of equal
ity with the great and powerful.
Hints at Bankruptcy.
Mr.. Wilson said he wondered
where the men had been living who
now wanted America to stand alone
and disconnect herself from the
world.
Her ambition has been to con-
meet herself with the world COM
mercially," he said, land they're
bankrupt if she doesn't"
He added that during the last few
years great business enterprises,
anxious not to suffer from the ex-
cess profits law, had put large sums
into the enlargement of their facili-
ties for after-the-war trade. If for
eign trade could not be secured, he
said. the giant would burst his
jacket

His idea of reconstruction then was,
it will not be easy to direct it any
better than it will direct itself. When
he had ample time for action last
December and might have prevent
ed the subsequent continuance of
high prices these are his words:
Our people do not wait to be

We might seek to put them in would

which might have removed a part.
at least, of the causes of high prices.
Now, months after he has dismissed
the federal and state agencies. he is
calling them together again to deal
with the question. The ratification
of the treaty may increase exports,
but increase in exports will not re-
duce prices at home. If responsible
ity for the high cost Of living rests
upon any agency or man it rests
upon the present administration and

Speaks of Article 10.
Speaking of Article 10 of the COW
enant of the league, Senator John
son, after quoting President Will
sons Interpretation of the section,
said:
1T makes America underwrite
every territorial grab of every other
nation, every wrong and injustice
done peoples, every bargain by
which human beings nave been
handed about from one sovereignty
to another, every violation OF
natural right and self determination.
every oppression of the strong over
the weak. Naively the president re-
marks that secret treaties hampered
him at the peace conference and
embarrassed the whole settlement.
theoretically, he comedies the wick
edness of those secret treaties, but
he was neither hampered nor en-
barrassed to such a degree as to
,ause him to stand manfully and
courageously for his oft expressed
Not only did he abandon
his principles and abjectly surrender
his idealism, but he became a part
of the secret treaties he denounced
when he united in making them the
basis of action at Paris"

Issue at Stake is Whether
Sacrifices of War Should
Be in Vain, He Tells
Montana Audiences.

Helena, Mont. Sept. ll.-(By The
Associated Press)-ln two ad-
dresses in Montana today. President
Wilson asked that the peace treaty
be ratified without delay so that the
spirit of universal unrest spreading
from Russia may be Quoted.
Saying he had been told the west
was pervaded by what is called
iadicaIism," the president declared
the only way to keep men from agi-
tating against grievances was to re-
move the grievances. AS long as
"things are wong he said, che did
not intend to ask that men stop agi-
tating, begging only that they use
orderly methods"
He said radicalism mean: cutting
up by the roots" a process that
would be rendered unnecessary if
"noxious growths" were removed.
When the president was intro
duced by Gov Sam Stewart at his
night address here the crowd stood
up and cheered.
With all its complexities, Mr.. Viii
son said, the issue after all was
whether the sacrifices of the war
would be in vain The task of those
who fought was only half done, he
declared, and if the treaty were not
put into effect, men like these will
have to die again

own course under Article 10.
Mr.. Wilson said that while the
Monroe doctrine section was I'M

vain to think of any language which
would be more sweeping and spe-
cific guarantee of the doctrine. The
language chosen, he said, was de-
cided upon as an absolute guar
antee.
The enumeration of the domes-
tic questions by name as proposed
by some of the league opponents
would be dangerous. Mr.. Wilson
said, because something might be
left out.
